Within Impel Down
Unbeknownst to everyone, the submarine carrying the Revolutionary Army had silently attached itself to the outside of the Impel Down walls.
It's stuck very tightly, completely fitted together.
Then, a huge door opened on the part of the submarine that had been joined together, allowing people inside to reach out and touch the outer shell of the Impel Down.
"This is Impel Down?"
Judge actually reached out and touched the dark, hard shell of Impel Down.
"How nostalgic! It's been over a hundred years since I've been back here, hasn't it?"
The man known as Mori, one of the five corps commanders of the revolutionaries, spoke in this way.
"Has Mr. Mori ever been here?" Judge asked, quite surprised.
"About 150 years ago?"
As Giant Tribe with a very long lifespan, Mori smiled and said, "I was once imprisoned here, but I escaped later using my abilities."
So, before the Golden Lion, there was actually another man who escaped from Impel Down?
Judge was extremely surprised; this was quite a legendary experience.
Mori patted the wet exterior of Impel Down. "This should be the place."
"This place?" Judge curiously.
"Mr. Mori once used his abilities to create a huge space between the fifth and sixth levels of Impel Down."
Sabo explained, "Mr. Ivankov knew about this, and he disappeared shortly after entering Impel Down, presumably hiding in that space."
"So now, all we need to do is carve a path at the right depth to find Little Ivan directly."
Mori exerted force and pressed down on the outer shell of Impel Down. The incredibly sturdy wall, which had stood in the deep sea for countless years, instantly caved in, as if Mori had pressed a huge hole into it like putty.
"Oh! That's Mr. Mori's ability!"
Judge was quite surprised.
No wonder they were able to carve out a hidden space within Impel Down.
That's amazing!
Mori stepped forward, pushing with both hands, and the huge hole deepened rapidly, soon forming a passage Impel Down.
"Let's follow."
Sabo followed.
Judge quickly followed.
In retrospect, this rescue mission has been very safe; no wonder Mr. Dragon sent just a few of them.
Mori continued forward, with Sabo and Judge close behind.
Impel Down's walls were very thick, but even the thickest walls have an end. Suddenly, a bright light appeared ahead—the wall had been breached.
Sabo and Mori followed Mori into the inner space.
The sounds of laughter and giggles were already clearly audible.
"It feels really lively," Mori said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Sabo was already shouting at the top of his lungs, "Ivan, we've come to pick you up!"
A moment of silence fell over the somewhat dark space.
Then--
"Is that Sabo? That voice, is it Sabo?!"
In the distance, a large head rushed over at high speed, its purple afro shaking violently from its vigorous movements.
He saw Sabo and Mori as soon as he arrived.
"Waaaaah-- Sabo! And Mori too!"
The man known as the Okama King couldn't hold back his tears and threw himself into Mori's arms, exclaiming, "We've finally met again!"
"Seriously, aren't you getting a little too excited?"
Sabo said this, but his eyes were actually a little moist.
It's been so many years.
"Don't rush to reminisce,"
Mori put the Okama King down, then smiled and said, "Let's leave first."
"Yes, yes, it's not safe here after all. Let's leave with us first, Ivan," Sabo hurriedly added.
"Don't rush!"
However, Ivankov said, "You've come at the perfect time, Sabo! A group of new people were recently Impel Down!"
"A newcomer?" Sabo raised an eyebrow.
"Straw Hat Luffy and his crew," Okama King.
"Huh?"
Sabo was shocked. "Luffy's been captured?"
"I knew you wouldn't be indifferent."
The time when the Okama King was imprisoned was several years ago, Sabo had already remembered the story between him and his two brothers.
"Then I really did arrive at the perfect time!"
Sabo breathed a long sigh of relief.
If he hadn't arrived in time, and if Ivan hadn't been there, I really don't know what would have happened to Luffy.
"And there's Straw Hat Crew you'd never guess!" Ivankov's tone became even more serious.
"Who is it?" Sabo had to admit that his curiosity had indeed been piqued.
"Yes, Nico Robin!"
"...!"
Sabo and Mori were both dumbfounded.
"Is it Nico Robin?"
"Who else could it be?" the Okama King. "She's currently imprisoned in the sixth level of Infinite Hell!"
"Very good!"
Sabo was overjoyed, "Finally, I can see her!"
Nico Robin is a woman of extraordinary significance to the Revolutionary Army. After learning her story, Dragon called her the Lantern of the Revolution.
"Get your people on board first. We're going to rescue Luffy and Miss Robin!"
Sabo made his decision; as the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army, he was never lacking in decisiveness.
He turned to Judge, "Mr. Judge, could you please block the Den Den Mushi in Impel Down for now? There are Surveillance Den Den Mushi everywhere here, and we can't reveal our whereabouts for the time being."
"Even if we're exposed, we can't let them contact Marine Headquarters," Mori added.
"It's very simple."
Judge nodded happily.
Combat isn't his forte, but this is a different story.
Sabo looked at Okama King, "Then, Ivan, you and Mori go rescue Miss Robin, and I'll go rescue Luffy."
"Good."
The operation began quickly.
Judge took out the jamming device he had prepared beforehand and activated it immediately.
Instantly, all communication equipment in Impel Down completely shut down.
In the monitoring room, all the monitor screens turned completely white.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the Den Den Mushi?"
"But it's impossible for all Den Den Mushi to malfunction at the same time, right?"
"Something's up! Something's definitely up! Notify the director immediately!"
Meanwhile, the strongest man in Impel Down, Warden Magellan, was suffering from diarrhea in his office.
Sabo had Ivankov find someone to guide him, and after the Den Den Mushi were blocked, he instantly rushed to the fifth floor and headed straight for the prison where his brother was being held.
The fifth level of the Ice Hell is vast, but it's nothing compared to Sabo's speed.
Soon, he arrived outside a cell and immediately spotted the trembling man inside.
"Hey, Luffy, I never expected you to look so disheveled when we meet again."
"..."
The man in the cell immediately looked up.
"Sabo!!"
