The Clown

Watching Luffy further and further away, Hancock asked with a doubtful look, "Honey, are you sure Luffy can really rescue Ace?"

Haku shook her head and said directly, "How is that possible? Ace is in Impel Down 6. That's not a place Luffy can reach right now!"

"Then why did you Luffy to save Ace?" Hancock asked in surprise.

"If he hadn't gone to save Ace, how would Blackbeard have seized the opportunity to release some prisoners from Level 6!" Haku explained with a laugh.

What did Hancock see in Haku's eyes? She asked curiously, "You seem really looking forward to everyone on Level 6 being released?"

Haku laughed and explained, "It's good that they're out! Now I can do some things that are usually restricted, under the guise of dealing with these dangerous people!"

"Moreover, there are quite a few Devil Fruit User on Level 6. These are practically walking Devil Fruit! They're waiting to be picked by me at any time!"

A shrewd glint flashed in Haku's eyes as she said this.

Hancock's eyes flashed with an Electric Waves when she heard Haku's words. She had never seen Haku so calm yet ambitious.

A Den Den Mushi (Den Den Mushi) rang loudly!

Haku's gaze quickly settled on Hancock.

After a few moments of searching, Haku quickly found a lifeless Den Den Mushi on Hancock's body.

"The poor little guy was prematurely awakened due to the influence of Electric Waves!"

Haku answered the phone quickly.

The voice of Warden Magellan came through the Den Den Mushi: "Hancock! Hancock! What happened on Level 1? Why is the entire Level 1 out of contact? And I told you to go and meet Admiral Haku, why haven't I heard from you yet!"

Answer me!

Haku touched her nose sheepishly; after all, he was the culprit!

He said apologetically to the Den Den Mushi, "Warden Magellan, it seems the reason we lost contact on Level 1 was because I accidentally caused it!"

Hearing the familiar voice from the Den Den Mushi, Magellan straightened up from his office chair and said, "Admiral Haku, why are you answering the phone? And where is Hancock?"

Haku explained directly, "Hancock was accidentally knocked unconscious by me, and it will take a while for him to wake up."

Haku's words caused a brief silence on Warden Magellan's end of the phone; he clearly hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Level 1 was out of contact, Hancock was unconscious, and the culprit behind all of this was none other than Admiral Haku, who had just arrived.

"Admiral Haku, what... what exactly is going on?" Magellan's tone was tinged with doubt and unease.

Haku replied casually, "It's nothing serious. I just accidentally caused a little commotion when I arrived. I had no choice but to unleash my power, which resulted in the entire Level 1 being paralyzed! Don't worry, I'll handle it. As for the loss of contact on Level 1, it should be restored in about five or six minutes."

Although Magellan was somewhat dissatisfied with Haku's explanation, he dared not say much. After all, Haku was Admiral, and his status and strength far surpassed his own.

"Well... then I'll have to trouble you, Admiral Haku." Magellan's tone carried a hint of helplessness and compromise.

He really didn't want to escalate the matter, especially during such a special time at sea.

It didn't take long for Hancock and Domino, who were originally there to guide Haku, to wake up!

"My head hurts! What just happened?" Hancock said, rubbing his Temple and standing up.

"It's nothing, I just accidentally released too much Conqueror's Haki! That caused you all to pass out," Haku said with a smile.

"Oh! Is that so!"

"What! Is that so?!" Hancock, who hadn't yet recovered his senses, was instantly jolted awake!

He hurriedly reached for his Den Den Mushi in his pocket, seemingly preparing to explain the situation to Warden Magellan!

"Huh? How come I can't find it?" Hancock began to get anxious.

Haku stopped teasing Hancock and tossed him the hidden Den Den Mushi, saying, "I've already explained things to Magellan Hancock. Once everyone on this floor returns to normal, take me to Level 6!"

Hancock took the Den Den Mushi, a wave of fear washing over him. He hadn't expected this new Admiral to be so powerful; even he himself had been affected by his Conqueror's Haki. Only after hearing that Haku had explained the situation to Magellan did he feel somewhat relieved.

He quickly and respectfully replied to Haku, "Yes, Admiral Haku. Once the people here have returned to normal, I will immediately take you to Level 6."

Haku nodded without saying anything more. He knew that what he was about to do was the real purpose of his trip to Impel Down.

Soon, communication and power were restored to Level 1. Hancock and Domino had also fully recovered. They looked at Haku with eyes full of awe.

"Admiral Haku, please follow me." Hancock led the way, walking ahead of Haku.

Haku followed Hancock through layers of checkpoints until they arrived at the elevator leading to Level 6.

Haku paused slightly before entering the elevator.

Because, in his perception, his Observation Haki had detected that Luffy had joined up with someone who was not affected by his Conqueror's Haki.

"Buggy the Clown! Those two are really something else. They're clearly going in completely different directions, yet they somehow manage to bump into each other!" Haku muttered under her breath.

"Admiral Haku? Did you just say something?"

"And why are you so close to Hancock? Are you my rival in love?" Hancock asked directly.

"Ah! I think I've accidentally revealed my true feelings again!"

Haku and Hancock exchanged a glance, then Haku put her arm around Hancock's waist and smiled at Hancock, saying, "What rival? You've already lost your chance. Don't you know that?"

Hancock, blushing, leaned against Haku.

Hancock felt like he could hear his heart breaking. He then squatted in a corner, muttering to himself, "It's awful, absolutely awful! My first love ended before it even began, and my goddess was just stolen away like that!"

"Hancock, Vice Warden, please have some self-respect!" Domino, who appeared more composed, reminded him at this moment.

After catching his breath, Hancock opened the door to the floor where Warden Magellan's office was located.
