A Simp Ends Up With Nothing

As two newbies among a group of veterans, Buggy and Mr. 3 were naturally always observing and quickly determined that the small team was led by the "Nightmare" mentioned by Mr. 3.

"Hey, who's that big shot?" Buggy was very curious. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the other monsters who didn't look like humans were much more intimidating than him. Moreover, during his time in prison, he had roughly learned about Red Hair' status in the Grand Line, which was almost comparable to Captain Roger's achievements.

Although he disliked Shanks, he had to admit that the guy was doing much better than him. Yet, this powerful figure was described as a coward by Nightmare. If it weren't for the fact that the other big shots treated Nightmare with utmost respect, he would have suspected that the man named Nightmare was just bragging.

"Ahem... Actually, I don't know too much either. After all, not long after Nightmare became Shichibukai, I was exposed and arrested because of the disbandment of the Baroque Works. Of course, what I know is already shocking enough."

"He set sail five years ago, and before even entering the Grand Line, he became famous throughout the world for his incredibly high bounty of 300 million Beli..."

"3...300 million?" Buggy's eyes widened. "That's twenty times my money!"

Mr. 3 twitched his lips speechlessly. "Can you please stop comparing me to you? It suddenly makes me feel like my 'class' has dropped a lot."

"Not long after entering the Grand Line, he snatched the title of Shichibukai from my boss Crocodile, instantly becoming one of the top figures in the Grand Line. I don't know what happened after that, but judging from the current situation, Nightmare's development is definitely more terrifying than I imagined! So... hey, where is he?" Mr. 3 was about to lament the fickleness of fate when he turned his head and found Buggy's comical big nose had disappeared from sight, following Nightmare around like a servant.

"Nightmare, let me show you the way. I've come all the way from Level 1 Crimson Hell, so I know Impel Down. With me leading the way, we're sure to escape Impel Down before Magellan finds us!" Buggy felt like he'd really hit the jackpot this time. With such a powerful figure leading the way, maybe he could really escape from the supposedly impregnable Impel Down Great Prison and become a legendary figure like Golden Lion!

"Hmph, Magellan? It's good that he's here. Before leaving Impel Down, I'd also like to know who's stronger between him and me?" Shiryu snorted coldly, clearly annoyed.

"A battle against that monster Magellan?" Recalling the scene where Magellan "killed" Luffy with an almost overwhelming advantage, Buggy felt his legs trembling, and his eyes were filled with awe and horror as he looked at Shiryu.

Mr. 3, recalling the conversation between Magellan and the jailer, exclaimed in astonishment, "You are Shiryu of the Rain, the Chief Warden, along with Magellan, is known as one of Impel Down's two greatest aces?"

"Chief Warden? Not anymore. I'm just a pirate following the captain now." Shiryu smiled coldly. "After all, being a marine is nothing compared to the thrill of killing as a pirate, don't you think?"

"Yes... yes!" Buggy and Mr. 3's legs trembled as they thought to themselves, "Boss, can you please stop looking at us with that terrifying gaze?"

However, they also became more aware of how terrifying Nightmare, the most powerful of the powerful, was. Even Shiryu of the Rain, a top-tier fighter comparable to Marine Admiral, had joined his ranks. His power and strength were probably even more terrifying than they had imagined.

Once they calmed down, Buggy and Mr. 3 straightened their backs and strutted around with heads held high, looking down at the Impel Down Great Prison with the air of kings.

Impel Down is nothing! Even one of your two trump cards is already on our side, not to mention all these terrifying big shots. It's practically a sure thing!

"Huh? Nightmare, it seems we're going the wrong way. Isn't that the gate to Level 3?" Buggy cautiously reminded him.

"Who told you I was going to the third floor?" Roy looked at the comical Big Red Nose with amusement.

Buggy and Mr. 3 were completely bewildered and felt a strange sense of panic. Although they seemed to have a huge advantage and the Flying Dragons were practically on top of them, they were still worried about losing if they got too cocky. After all, the Marine Headquarters wasn't that far from here!

"We're heading to Impel Down's communications room now to greet the bigwigs of the World Government!" Shiryu said calmly.

Buggy and his companion shuddered, their eyes filled with numbness and despair as they looked at the group of bigwigs. That was the World Government even more terrifying than the Marine Headquarters and Impel Down!

Even if these big shots aren't afraid, their small bodies can't withstand too much trouble! Even if they manage to escape in the end, if they catch the eye of a behemoth like the World Government, that would be a punishment worse than death!

"Damn it, it's Magellan! Run!"

"What a joke! I finally escaped, and I don't want to go back to that kind of place."

"Hydra!" Three enormous, dark green Hydra flew out from Magellan's body. Even a tiny bit of their venom could render the escaped convict unable to fight, causing him to convulse and collapse to the ground.

"Put them back in jail."

"Yes, Director Magellan."

Although Magellan had overwhelmingly defeated the escaped convicts from Level 5, there was no joy on his face. So far, they had not been found. If they were allowed to escape, it could cause extremely serious turmoil to the sea.

"Inspector Magellan, something terrible has happened! Someone has just discovered the corpse of the Warden Beasts!"

"How is that possible? They are all Awakening Zoan Devil Fruit users, they should have near-limitless stamina and immortality!"

"They were all cut in two by a single sword strike, and we suspect it was..."

"No doubt about it, someone with that kind of strength must be that bastard Shiryu." Magellan's face was contorted with rage. "Where have they gone now?"

"The road was littered with limbs and pieces of flesh. Based on the movement of the corpses, we deduced that Shiryu... Shiryu went towards the monitoring room."

"Oh no, they're definitely trying to cut off Impel Down's external communications, preventing the 'Government' from knowing what's happening Impel Down!" Magellan cursed under his breath, then his expression changed drastically. "Damn it, Little Sadie and the others are still over there!"

"Lord Magellan, what should we do?"

"Go and inform Hannyabal and Domino to bring all the escaped prisoners back. I'll go to the communications room by myself."

"That won't do. That's where the most ferocious pirates in Impel Down are gathered. Even Shiryu Chief Warden is with them. Even if..."

"Numbers are meaningless to me. As for that bastard Shiryu, since I was able to capture him once, I can capture him a second time!"
