Blackbeard's Advance

"Poison Dragon Breath!" Purple poisonous mist drifted like wisps of smoke, condensing in mid-air into a ferocious dragon, which unleashed a powerful breath attack on Shiryu's location.

Shiryu a leap, displaying an extreme speed disproportionate to his size, rushing to Magellan's side like a whirlwind, his blade slashing down like a waltz under the moonlight.

Sizzle!

The poisonous mist surrounding Magellan was severed, and a domineering slash emerged from the mist, striking Magellan's waist and slamming him against the wall, burying him in the ruins.

However, before the dust had settled, a raging poisonous Hydra flew out of the mist, spewing poisonous gas in all directions as if venting its rage. Fortunately, Shiryu was on guard against Magellan's attack and easily killed the Hydra with a single strike before landing on the ground.

Suddenly, the rubble burying Magellan shot out like cannonballs, and a terrifying skeletal giant slammed his fist on the ground and stood up, surrounded by a blood-red poisonous mist that rapidly dissolved the ground and rock walls it touched.

"Finally, Magellan, you've decided to Devil Fruit Awakening!" Shiryu wasn't particularly afraid. For a swordsman, as long as he still had his blade, there was nothing he couldn't cut.

"Shiryu, feel the fear of death, go to hell and repent properly! Poison Giant Soldier: Hell's Judgement!" Magellan roared furiously.

In fact, he was unwilling to Devil Fruit Awakening unless absolutely necessary. The corrosive power of the poisonous mist after Awakening was too strong. It would not take long for it to completely corrode the surrounding environment. Once Impel Down was destroyed and the seawater flooded in, everyone in the prison would be buried at sea.

Therefore, in order to end the battle as quickly as possible, Magellan simultaneously controlled the skeletal giant to launch a fierce attack on Shiryu, while also allowing the crimson poisonous mist to spread towards Roy and the others.

"Aaaaaah!" Buggy let out a groundhog-like scream, snot and tears streaming down his face, making him look deathly pale. "There's no way out! In this confined environment, no one can stand against Magellan!"

"Idiot, shut up!" World growled impatiently, unable to understand why the captain would bring such a scoundrel along. With Red Nose's 15 million Beli bounty, even his subordinates' subordinates weren't qualified. Could it be that the captain usually enjoys watching circus performances?

Stared at by those murderous eyes, Buggy felt as if his soul was frozen. He hurriedly covered his mouth, nodded in acknowledgment, tears welling up in his eyes, looking as aggrieved as a 100-pound child.

Turning around, Buggy was horrified to find that the crimson poisonous mist had somehow drifted in front of him and passed right through his body...

"Aaaaaah!" Faced with the terror of death, Buggy ignored World's warnings and screamed with tears streaming down his face, "My limbs are weak, I can't breathe, am I about to die from poisoning?"

Bang!

World slapped him against the wall. "Idiot, didn't you hear me tell you to shut up?"

Embedded in the wall, Buggy felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart. Pain surged like a tide, wave after wave washing over his pain receptors, causing him to shed tears of sorrow.

"Wait, why can I still feel pain? Could it be... I'm not dead?" Buggy belatedly realized that the joy of escaping death had suppressed the physical pain, and he grinned.

"Has this guy gone mad?" Mr. 3 thought worriedly as he watched Buggy cry and laugh. It wasn't because he had a good relationship with Buggy, but simply because he was worried that if Buggy died, he would be at the bottom of the team.

"How is this possible? This is the strongest poison that can corrode everything!" Upon hearing Buggy's scream, Magellan couldn't help but be distracted in the battle. His poison was a terrifying existence that even Shiryu, Admiral- level fighter, couldn't resist. In his mind, even the group of Level 6 fugitives should not have fared well under this overwhelming poisonous fog. Why is that super rookie imprisoned in Level 1 still alive?

"No matter how strong your poison is... can it even corrode the space in front of me?" Roy chuckled.

"Magellan, you seem to have forgotten who you are fighting!" At this moment, Shiryu's brutal voice came from behind him, causing Magellan's expression to change drastically. Without thinking, he protected the skeletal giant's vital points, and a torrent of poisonous mist shot out.

Laugh!

"Wow! So powerful! Where did these Masked Man come from? Why are there such monsters in Impel Down?!"

"Run! They're from the World Government! We can't possibly be a match for them!"

A large group of prisoners fled with heavy casualties, but the Masked Man behind them showed no intention of pursuing them.

"Let the people of Impel Down handle this kind of trash. Our main task is to find Magellan as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord Bazel!" A CP0 member removed half of his mask, put a roll of filthy paper to his lips and sniffed it, then pointed in a direction without changing his expression and said, "Go in this direction, and you'll soon see Commissioner Magellan."

"Very good, continue the operation."

"My lord, I have told you everything I know. Please, spare me!"

"Hahaha, since you have no use to me, there's no point in you living."

"You... you broke your promise..."

Bang!

Van Augur gently blew away the smoke from the gun barrel, while the others remained unmoved, simply laughing wildly.

"I didn't expect that Luffy would actually do us a huge favor. He caused chaos in Impel Down, with all the prisoners rioting. Warden Magellan was too busy to deal with his own problems, which made it easier for us to take action," Blackbeard said triumphantly.

"However, Captain, the escape of a Level 6 prisoner doesn't seem to be part of our plan!" Laffitte asked in a gentlemanly manner, gently tugging at the brim of his hat.

"Hahaha, there's no such thing as a perfect plan. Change is what always happens," Blackbeard laughed, spreading his arms wide.

"Catarina Devon, the Crescent Moon Hunter; Avalo Pizarro, the Evil King; Byrnndi World, the World Destroyer; and Shiryu of the Rain, the former Chief Warden of Impel Down —these are all renowned figures. Subduing them will not be an easy task. Will fate ultimately favor us?" Doc Q said listlessly.

"They will all eventually join the Blackbeard Pirates, and we will become famous throughout the world. This is our predetermined fate!" Van Augur said lazily, slinging his sniper rifle over his shoulder.

"Hahaha, let my path to becoming a king begin here!"
