Vidal's Hand!

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!" Zangjing saw Helandou leaning against the cell wall, lost in thought, and urged him impatiently. At the same time, he turned around and walked out of the cell without hesitation.

The person has been rescued and is able to move around, that's good.

He's not a nanny, Helandou isn't a baby.

At this moment, the prisoners in the other cells were all enveloped in purple light, but only those eyes, filled with complex emotions such as intense longing and pleading, slowly stared at the Zangjing.

"Hey, I'm not a cold-blooded person."

Standing in the middle of the corridor, with a dozen bright incandescent lights overhead, Zangjing shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"Alright, I'll give you a chance. Listen carefully!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the purple light in the dozen or so cells disappeared, freeing all the prisoners who had been immobilized. They instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

However, having witnessed the old penguin's strength, they dared not shout any louder, including 'Blood Dragonfly' Weizi, who had previously claimed to have a bounty of 45 million Beli.

"I am Zangjing, Governor under Shiki 'Golden Lion' Shiki of the Flying Pirates."

After a brief self-introduction, Zangjing pointed to the Helandou following behind him.

"I've come here to rescue this fellow Governor."

Helandou lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Your chance is to agree to join our Flying Pirates and fight together to take down this G-3 Branch. But let me warn you beforehand: if anyone dares to have any disloyal thoughts after we leave, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

In an instant, Zangjing's cold eyes swept over all the criminals present. His aura, second only to that of a top-tier expert, chilled everyone to the bone, and they dared not meet his gaze, lowering their heads.

At the same time, they had even greater hope for the success of this prison break!

"I never expected this person to be the Governor of the Flying Pirates!"

"No wonder he's so strong; just seeing him standing there gives me the creeps."

"The Zangjing: The Great Pirate 'Old Man of Time' with a Bounty of 740 Million Beli!"

"And that Helandou is the ' Fearless Tank of 580 million Beli!"

"But how did he get locked up here?" These criminals in the cells are all characters from the New World; any one of them would be a troublesome fellow in Paradise.

Even if he joined the Flying Pirates, his strength alone would be enough to directly serve as a low-level officer, and he would naturally be familiar with the high-level officers of various top forces.

Soon, as all the criminals agreed, Zangjing took out a keychain with many keys hanging on it from his pocket.

Having spent decades sailing the high seas, he had already planned to pack up and take these guys with him even before he stepped into this prison.

So they took this item from the slain navy officer.

However, these are not keys to the prison door, but keys to handcuffs and leg irons, especially the few with a bluish tint, which should be the keys to the special Seastone Handcuffs.

"Now, open it yourselves, and hurry up, don't keep this old man waiting too long!"

The Zangjing first threw all the identical black keys into the prison, then tossed a blue key to 'Blood Dragonfly'.

"Ah! Thank you! Thank you, Master of the Zangjing!"

"I'm saved! Haha!"

The criminals hurriedly ran over, squatted down, and picked up the key that had been thrown in. Only the 'Blood Dragonfly' looked like he was having a lot of trouble, his hand trembling as he tried to hold the key, and he missed the lock several times.

There was no way around it; the sense of powerlessness brought on by the Seastone was simply too unbearable, but even so, he did not give up.

[Crack!]

The key went in, and with a turn, the Seastone Handcuffs opened!

This caused 'Blood Dragonfly' Weizi's pupils to shrink, followed by an expression of ecstatic joy. But just as he was about to burst into laughter, an impatient urging came from the other side of the Zangjing.

"We've been waiting for you, get out here now!"

He harbored no resentment, quickly suppressed his excitement, stood up, and without even glancing at the iron gate of the prison, casually bent the iron bar and walked out.

Upon entering the corridor, they indeed saw a dozen or so strange-looking men standing behind two men in long robes. The iron bars on both sides of the cell were in similar condition, except for the size of the openings.

But 'Blood Dragonfly' Weizi discovered that some people in the cells were still struggling against the iron bars, frantically begging the people outside to help them.

But no one moved, and Witz naturally wouldn't interfere; this was clearly a test from the librarian.

It can't even be pulled apart with a metal bar, what use is this piece of junk?

"Let's go. There's another test waiting for you beyond the fortress. Only after you pass this test will you be truly saved."

After speaking, the shortest person present, Zangjing, flicked his ancient-style purple robe and took the lead, walking outside. Helandou followed closely behind, followed by 'Blood Dragonfly' Weizi and the others.

It's worth mentioning that, because they were prisoners who would soon be sent to Impel Down, the G-3 Branch did not prepare prison uniforms for them; these would be provided after disinfection upon arrival.

Outside the fortress, the rain was still falling, though it seemed to have lessened somewhat, but no one seemed to care.

Vidal stood before the purple light that enveloped the entire steel gate, curiously raising his finger and reaching inside. Instantly, his slender right finger gave him a 'heavy' feeling.

"Oh, so this is the slowing effect. It seems similar to Issho's gravity field, but without that downward force; instead, it creates blockages from all directions."

Behind them, Vice Admiral Kuro and Light Vice Admiral, covered in pirate blood, stood in the rain, speechlessly watching Rear Admiral 'Ryokugyu,' a household name within the Navy and renowned throughout the seas.

Seeing that Vidal had flown directly here, the two of them withdrew from the front lines of the battlefield and explained the general situation.

The main point is basically, stop standing here waiting and join the fight. Every pirate we kill is a victory.

In any case, it's a done deal that the Zangjing will take the snow Helandou; there's nothing they can do to stop them.

Although Vidal is very famous and his strength should be quite good, his actual strength is probably only about the same as that of Vice Admiral like Kuro, who is a commander-level officer.

Looking at his famous achievements, it seems that only defeating Bondi Byrnndi World has any real significance. As for killing "Red the Aloof," these Vice Admiral all know what happened. As for Gecko Moria and Titan Keji, Kuro and Light feel they can do the same.

Moreover, it's said that Bondi Byrnndi World was worn down by the power of the Woods-Woods Fruit, but when facing the 'Old Man of Time's' Zangjing, as long as you can't deal with the Slow-Slow Beam, there's no possibility of wearing him down or dragging him out.

Although it is quite remarkable to have this level of strength at the age of twenty-two, reality is cruel. Until you have fully grown, you will always encounter opponents that you cannot currently defeat.

"Oh, it doesn't seem like anything."

But at that moment, Vidal's finger, which had been inserted into the purple light, was pulled out perfectly normally, as his skin was smeared with a layer of black.

Then, seemingly unsure, he used his Haki to Hardening his entire right palm and thrust it in again.

In an instant, Vice Admiral Kuro and Vice Admiral Light were shocked to see that the hand moved back and forth easily in the purple light.

Why?

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from the breach in the fortress gate.
