Gathering of the Strong

When he first heard the sound, Straw Hat Kid thought he was hallucinating.

Until he subconsciously looked up and saw the man outside clearly, tears instantly streamed uncontrollably down his face.

"Sabo!!"

It's been ten years since I last saw my brother, the one I thought was dead.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're still as prone to crying as you were when you were a kid."

Sabo couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

But of course, his eyes also reddened.

He had completely forgotten about his two brothers.

Luckily, I remembered.

"Is it really you, Sabo?"

The Straw Hat Kid excitedly rushed towards the person, but due to the Seastone Handcuffs, his limp body slammed headfirst into the prison bars.

"Fool."

Sabo chuckled irritably and said, "Let's rescue you first before we catch up."

"Mr. Lightning." Sabo looked at the person who had come to lead the way.

Leave it to me.

The man, whose body was a different color on each side, was known as Inazuma. Ivankov's deputy nodded slightly, then stepped forward. His hands transformed into scissors, and he casually cut through the sturdy bars of the prison.

Impel Down wasn't so wealthy as to make all the prison bars out of Seastone.

After the railing broke, Sabo immediately helped the Straw Hat Kid up.

"Waaaaah, Sabo!"

Even though his body was as limp as a noodle, the Straw Hat Kid still wailed and tried to hug Sabo.

"Alright, you idiot, take the handcuffs off first."

Sabo looked at the Inazuma.

"Key."

Inazuma nodded slightly, then took out the key, which had been prepared beforehand.

They've been lurking in this prison for so many years, they know it all too well.

"Oh right! And my friends too!"

After the handcuffs were removed, the Straw Hat Kid regained his energy and immediately remembered that his friends were also locked up in prison. He quickly said, "We have to go rescue them!"

"Okay, okay."

Sabo knew what kind of person his little brother was, so he was prepared from the start.

While the rescue operation for the younger brother on the fifth floor was progressing smoothly, in the darkness of the sixth floor...

The most heinous criminals are imprisoned here, people whose names and existence are to be erased from history.

This area, known as the Infinite Hell, is nothing but darkness, devoid of sound, and unseen and unheard, making it an unbearable torment for ordinary people.

However, a sound suddenly rang out in this hellish place today.

"The Infinite Hell... I haven't been back for so many years."

There were some sighing sounds.

"Stop dwelling on the past, Mori, let's hurry and find the person we're looking for!"

A somewhat urgent voice.

Who is it? Who came here?

"Is it an intruder?"

"Hey, you over there, come and let me out!"

The once quiet Infinite Hell suddenly became noisy.

Mori and the Okama King completely ignored these guys.

Although the government is what they want to overthrow, most of those imprisoned here, apart from a very few special individuals, are extremely wicked people who would be worthy of being executed a hundred times over.

Ivankov took out a lamp and began to observe carefully.

Then, very quickly, they identified the person they were looking for.

Inside the cell, a woman, out of place with her surroundings, frowned; the light shining in front of her made her uncomfortable.

Ivankov quickly put down the lamp and said excitedly, "Miss Robin, we've finally met!"

Nicole Robin was quite surprised; she didn't know either of them at all.

"We are the Revolutionary Army!"

Mori said earnestly, "I've been looking for you for a long time!"

"The Revolutionary Army?" Nico Robin was slightly taken aback.

Are the Revolutionary Army looking for her?

I've never heard of anything like this before.

Anyway, come with us first.

Ivankov said he knew it would be difficult to gain Robin's trust with words alone, but that was alright; they could prove it with their actions.

He took out a key he had prepared beforehand and released Robin.

Freedom had returned to her, Robin was certain that, at least for now, these two meant her no harm. "Thank you so much," she said.

Anyway, come with us first.

Ivankov said.

When they arrived, Mori gave him a brief overview of the current state of the ocean.

Although Miss Robin may not have had the chance to play her role, based on her managerial position, she should still be considered a friend of the Revolutionary Army.

They were preparing to leave.

"Please wait a moment!"

A voice rang out.

Ivankov instinctively shone the light on them.

Inside the prison, the blue Fish-Man was tightly bound by chains.

"Yes, Jinbe?"

Mori was somewhat surprised.

How did one of the Shichibukai end up being imprisoned here?

Please release me!

Jinbe said solemnly, "I must get to Marineford to stop that execution! There should still be time!"

"Execution?"

Ivankov was taken aback. "What execution?"

"Regarding Whitebeard's execution," Mori said, "Whitebeard has been captured, and the Navy will execute him today at Marineford."

I can't pretend I didn't hear that.

An aged voice suddenly rang out from the darkness, "That Newgate guy, he was actually defeated by the Navy?"

The light shone in the direction of the sound, and after seeing the person's appearance, Ivankov's expression instantly changed. "You bastard, who are you—"

"Raider, you're not dead yet?" Another voice rang out from the darkness, violent, deep, and arrogant.

When the light shone on him again, the Okama King broke out in a cold sweat.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm not going to die here," the aged voice said. "But you, brat, have you seen any results from all these years of training?"

"Hmph, I've already surpassed Roger's power!"

"Surpass Roger? What a boastful brat!"

Ivankov swallowed hard.

They're all monsters.

The violent voice suddenly said, "Hey, let me out! Execute Whitebeard? I can't miss that!"

"Indeed," the aged voice said, "It seems like it will be very interesting."

Ivankov was having a headache; what should he do?

"Then let them out."

At that moment, Mori suddenly said, "Send them to Marineford."

The less pressure on Sirius and his men, the better.

"Good."

Ivankov no longer hesitated.

The other prisoners also started yelling, demanding that they be released as well.

Ivankov didn't even bother with them.

At the same time, on the fourth floor.

"Gum-Gum — Elephant Gun!"

A massive, jet-black fist sent a giant Jailer Beasts flying. Straw Hat Kid landed outside a cell and looked at the dumbfounded man inside.

"Hehehe, Zoro, I'm here to save you!"

"Hurry up, Luffy, don't let Magellan react!"

This is a race against time for a rescue.

Thank you so much 'Ram_As' for the amazing 500 points!
