Within Impel Down

Impel Down, one of the three major institutions under the World Government, is ranked alongside Marine Headquarters and Enies Lobby as the world's Impel Down, a place feared by everyone on the high seas.

The prison is located in the Calm Belt and surrounded by powerful ocean currents, making it almost impossible for ordinary ships to reach.

The only way to connect with the outside world is through the massive ocean current behind the Gate of Justice, and even this connection is fixed, allowing access only to Marine Headquarters or Enies Lobby, both of which are located at nodes of the massive ocean current.

Today, the towering Gate of Justice outside Impel Down opened, and a warship with a dog's head slowly sailed into Impel Down's port.

There were already people waiting here.

A man wearing a black coat, with devilish horns and a pair of wings on his back, Magellan, the current warden of Impel Down and known as the strongest man in the Impel Down, awaits here.

He wore a special mask over his mouth that effectively filtered out the poisonous fumes he exhaled.

The Venom-Venom Fruit is undoubtedly very powerful, but unfortunately, it also causes significant harm to the user.

Once the planks were lowered and the owner of the ship that had traveled from afar disembarked, Magellan respectfully stepped forward, bowed slightly, and greeted him, "Mr. Garp, welcome to your long journey."

With his hair completely white but his physique still robust, the Marine Hero, Iron Fist Garp, wore a bright smile. "Oh, it's Magellan? You've come all this way to greet this old man. Hahaha, no need for such formality. I'm just here to visit relatives."

Huh?

The prison guards, who had been excited to see the Marine Hero, were instantly dumbfounded.

Visiting relatives?

Is this Marine Hero visiting relatives in the Impel Down?

"Ah! This seems to be something that can't be talked about! My grandson became a pirate and got arrested!" Iron Fist Garp Satori and slapped his forehead. "Hahahaha, sorry, sorry, just pretend you didn't hear that."

Eh--

The jailers were dumbfounded.

"Ahem, Mr. Garp, please come in."

Magellan coughed twice, deciding to let the Vice Admiral general continue, knowing who knew what else he might say.

But at that moment, Magellan's expression suddenly changed. He clutched his stomach, looking extremely pained.

The surrounding jailers were used to it; the warden's abilities were indeed powerful, but the side effects were too great.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Garp, I'll have to find someone else to show you the way."

Magellan, with a pained expression, waved behind him, "Hannyabal, come here quickly!"

"Oh! Leave it to me, you idiot chief!"

The man named Hannyabal, the deputy warden of Impel Down, greeted him excitedly, "You can go and have your diarrhea in peace. I'll definitely give Vice Admiral Garp a proper welcome, and then have him report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku to promote me to warden!"

"Oops, I accidentally let my ambition slip out."

Magellan made no reaction to his deputy's outrageous remarks, simply saying, "Next, you'll have Hannyabal to greet you," before hastily running off.

"This guy hasn't overcome his skill deficiency yet?"

Vice Admiral Garp shook his head helplessly, then looked at Hannyabal, "Hahaha, you're quite an interesting fellow. Come on, take this old man inside."

That Garp the Hero actually said I was funny!

Hannyabal instantly felt his life was full of brilliance. "Yes!"

The part of Impel Down beneath the sea is divided into six levels. Of course, only the top five levels are known to the world; the sixth level is completely unknown to outsiders.

However, this time Vice Admiral Garp didn't go to the sixth floor. He...

Although his grandson is a pirate, he is not a particularly outstanding one. His greatest achievement is defeating the Marine Colonel in Loguetown. He is currently imprisoned in the fifth level of the Ice Hell.

I took the elevator all the way to the fifth floor, and all I could see was a vast expanse of ice and snow.

"Phew, it's so cold!"

Vice Admiral Garp shuddered. "Is that idiot locked up here?"

"Please follow me, Mr. Garp."

Hannyabal led the way.

Soon, he led Garp to the outside of several prisons in the freezing cold.

"It's right there. Well then, I won't disturb you while you're looking after your grandson, Mr. Garp."

Hannyabal understood emotional intelligence well; after taking Vice Admiral Garp with him, he immediately turned and left.

The Marine Hero didn't care and strode forward, soon arriving outside a prison cell.

Then I immediately spotted the boy inside, who was huddled up in the corner.

"Luffy, I never imagined we'd meet again in a place like this!"

"Hey!"

The Straw Hat Kid inside the prison looked up in utter astonishment. Upon seeing the person outside, his body trembled involuntarily. "Grandpa?"

Why did the person he feared most suddenly appear?!

"Hmph, you idiot,"

Garp, seemingly unconcerned, sat down on the snow outside the prison. "Didn't you keep saying you were going to become the Pirate King? How come you've already been defeated so soon after entering the Grand Line?"

"Because that guy is really amazing!"

A serious look flashed in the Straw Hat Kid's eyes as he recalled the man who had defeated him and all his companions with overwhelming power. "Grandpa, is there really an even higher level of Armament Haki?"

"Oh! You actually noticed that?"

Garp was somewhat surprised. "That guy has indeed mastered a high level of Armament Haki. In fact, not only Armament Haki, but also Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki have more advanced uses."

However, he wasn't actually surprised by his grandson's defeat. That man, Rob Lucci, was CP0's Strongest Shield candidate and the disciple of the current Strongest Shield.

"Hey!"

The Straw Hat Kid was greatly surprised.

"But the outcome of our next battle will definitely be different!"

Then the Straw Hat Kid confidently declared, "Gear Second and Gear Third alone aren't enough! So I've come up with an even more powerful move!"

"Next time? What are you thinking, kid?"

Vice Admiral Garp rolled his eyes. "You'd better just stay in prison and serve your sentence."

"That's right."

The Straw Hat Kid, realizing his predicament, deflated and threw himself against the prison bars, crying, "Grandpa, let me out!"

"No way! What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot! I'm a Marine!"

Garp the Hero punched his grandson on the head, almost smashing his head into the ground.

"Then, at least tell me, how are my friends?" The Straw Hat Kid's voice was muffled.

"They're all locked up on the upper floors, so they shouldn't die anytime soon."

Garp the Hero said this, he added in his mind, "Except for Nico Robin, who was imprisoned on the sixth floor."

"I see."

The Straw Hat Kid finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You should stay here and reflect on your actions."

Vice Admiral Garp stood up, ready to leave.

The Straw Hat Kid didn't see that his grandfather's face instantly filled with worry after he turned around.

Luffy, why did you have to eat that fruit?
