Buggy and Mr. 2 Bon Clay, Candle and Poison Dragon

"What?"

Magellan, who was on the fourth floor, suddenly stood up.

"Yes, there was a riot on the sixth floor. The guards were all knocked unconscious. The prisoners said... said..."

"Say what?!"

Faced with the warden who nearly fainted from a mouthful of poison gas while using a Den Den Mushi, the person on the other end of the monitoring room gave a hesitant reply.

"The prisoners said... the intruders were former Celestial Dragons..."

?

"... the ability puppet."

"Be on guard, I'll be there in person."

I had just put down the Den Den Mushi when it rang loudly again.

"What's up?"

"Warden, there are capable escapees on the first floor of the prison, including Buggy, who costs 15 million Beli— "

"You guys figure it out yourselves!"

Click,

Magellan abruptly hung up the Den Den Mushi and rushed towards the sixth level. Compared to those sixth level bounties starting at hundreds of millions, why would the warden personally deal with the petty thieves on the first level with tens of millions in bounties?

"... and Straw Hat Luffy with a bounty of 300 million..."

"What did the warden say?"

Facing her colleague, the operator forced an awkward smile.

"The warden told us to handle it ourselves."

??

"In that case, mobilize the Blue Gorilla troops!"

When the leader says it, if there are difficulties, we must overcome them; if there are no difficulties, we must create them and overcome them.

"Let's deal with these two prisoners—"

However:

Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.

"These animals are actually quite capable,"

After painstakingly taking down one, Buggy turned around and saw Luffy instantly Luffy down five Blue Gorilla. Buggy was so scared that his head almost flew off!

"I didn't expect you to get a little stronger too~~"

·········

You should say "a tiny bit", right?

!?

"That voice is—"

Luffy, who was frantically running around in the first level of the prison, seemed to hear a savior's voice in an instant!

A white dove, out of character for the prison setting, flapped its wings and landed on the massive, light blue-upper-lower-body sea fighter 'Blue Gorilla,' whose head was a skull, after being killed by the two men.

"Roman!!"

Luffy,

White Dove glanced at Luffy, whose face was full of 'being saved,' Luffy, sighed, and rubbed her forehead in one smooth motion.

"You... never mind, you're going to save Ace, right?"

"Mmm,"

Luffy repeatedly with a grin, and then:

"Take me to save Ace, Roman!"

Roman Navigation is at your service...

"Come with me, or you'll be wandering around like headless flies for ages." White Dove glanced at Buggy, who was carrying a large axe and was about to make a run for it, and 'kindly' reminded him.

"There are ten warships outside, and five Vice Admiral— "

"Ace is a good friend of mine who's drunk with me, how can I not be included in saving him!"

Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring Buggy, White Dove nodded noncommittally.

"Here, we'll go directly down to the second level through the central passage of 'Crimson Hell'..."

Guided by the white dove, Luffy and Buggy soon arrived at a large forest-like area in the center of the prison. The trees were "sword trees" with leaves as sharp as blades, and the grass was "Needle Grass" that could pierce the human body like needles. The prisoners would run back and forth as they were chased by poisonous spiders and jailers, and in the end, they would be cut by these leaves and grass, bleeding profusely and suffering endless pain.

"Buggy, take Luffy there."

Why should I—

"Oh, then I'll reveal your identity as a member of the King of the Pirates's crew. Magellan will surely come to 'welcome' you personally. Impel Down will also change to a floor that matches your 'identity'—how about the sixth floor, the Infinite Hell?"

!?

"What are you talking about? I was on my way to the sixth floor to rescue the Ace brothers!"

Buggy thumped his chest loudly, looking ready to go to great lengths for his brother.

"Damn it, no wonder he's Great Pirates with a bounty of 300 million!"

Guided by Roman, Luffy and Buggy easily reached the second level. Although the second level, 'Beast Hell,' housed various ferocious beasts and monsters—such as chicken-snakes, Manticore, and poisonous scorpions—they were all weaklings in front of Luffy, who easily crushed them all!

Buggy may seem like a comedic relief, but he's actually quite capable. At least he's more than capable of dealing with what these ordinary prisoners see as ferocious beasts.

"Wait a minute, Luffy."

The white dove flapped its wings and said, "If it's just us, we can't handle so many guards. We need help."

Buggy finds the key to open the cage, however:

"Never mind, after thinking about it, it's safer in the cage."

"Yeah, the consequence of escaping from prison is definitely being eaten..."

The prisoners remained completely still, except for:

"Hahaha, long time no see, Straw Hat Luffy!"

A man with a scraggly beard and his hair styled in the shape of the number '3' walked out.

"Thank you for setting me free. I'm a man who always repays kindness..."

Who are you?

In response to Luffy's question, the man pointed to his hair bun, Luffy Satori.

"It's an Indian from Giant Uncle Island!"

"It's Mr. 3!!"

Lala~~

"Let's catch up slowly after we get out."

A white dove circled the three of them once. "My 'White Knight' is playing 'hide-and-seek' with Magellan on the fifth floor. He'll soon realize I'm just stalling for time."

?

"This is..."

"I am Roman."

Faced with the white dove's self-introduction, Mr. 3, the man with the Candle-Candle Devil Fruit ability... no, he was startled! The image of that shrewd and cold-blooded boy instantly flashed through his mind. He wasn't as easily fooled as this clumsy Straw Hat in front of him. His original plan to use the boy as bait...

"Don't worry, even if you don't help my captain, I won't follow you around calling the police all the way."

White Dove solemnly assured Buggy and Mr. 3.

"Rescuing the Ace brothers is our duty!" x2

The fifth level underground Freezing Hell.

The Freezing Hell imprisones pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million. The prisoners on this floor are kept in an environment colder than a giant icehouse, suffering severe frostbite until death. The forests of Freezing Hell also raise a large number of "military wolves," which are even more ferocious than the giant beasts on the second floor.

Now, these ferocious war wolves are scattering and fleeing because:

In this icy and snowy landscape, a battle... or rather, a chase, is unfolding.

Ahead was a White Knight soaring at high speed with wings spread wide, and behind him was a cloud of ominous purple mist!

As the White Knight made a turn, a colossal creature the size of a carriage suddenly emerged from the purple cloud and crashed forward with a deafening roar! Its speed was astonishing; it was still far away, but in an instant it was right behind him, bringing with it an incredibly fierce, foul wind that howled like knives.

Wow, that's impressive...

Roman, who was controlling the White Knight to dodge and leap, could see clearly that it was a huge and terrifying purple dragon head, with two lantern-sized empty eye sockets radiating a magma-like killing intent and a ferocious, all-consuming nature.

Even more ferocious was its gaping maw, filled with countless venomous fangs and dripping venom! With the domineering and savage nature only a giant creature could possess, it swept through the air, crashing down and devouring everything in its path!

The White Knight, moving at full speed like the wind, narrowly evaded the attack with a low glide, while the pursuing poisonous Poison Dragon plunged headfirst into the icy snow, instantly unleashing a shower of snowflakes! The ice cracked and trembled violently, the intense undulations even giving one the illusion of being on a raging sea.

The White Knight dodged the attack, but as the 'dragon head' exploded, a chorus of wails immediately erupted from the surrounding cells!

"Damn it, I'm poisoned!!"

"Get back!"

"This is a cage, where else can we retreat to?"

"Damn it, you come here and be my shield..."

"Magellan, you son of a bitch—"

A cacophony of angry curses and screams erupted as the purple 'dragon head' exploded, spraying large amounts of liquid everywhere. People felt nauseous and even experienced pain on their skin, demonstrating the potent toxicity of the liquid.

But that wasn't all. As the purple mist gradually disappeared, three more equally ferocious and enormous dragon heads appeared one after another.

"Poison Dragon!"

As Magellan slowly approached, three enormous, dragon-shaped, highly venomous creatures emerged from behind him, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws with arrogance! Moreover, the terror of these poisons could be understood simply by looking at the miserable state of the surrounding criminals with bounties worth hundreds of millions.

What exactly do you mean?

Magellan frowned as he watched the White Knight darting and dodging through the air.

"Just because you're a lifeless puppet, you think I can't do anything to you? —Roman Saint Roman!"

Faced with Magellan's questioning, a deep voice came from beneath the White Knight's exquisite helmet visor.

"Don't make false accusations,"

"What Saint Roman? I don't know him!"

"I am the Straw Hat crew Pirates' Chief of Staff, 'White Knight'."

"You--!?"

Dudududu~~

Domino Vice Warden was holding Den Den Mushi, ran over and said, "Warden, an intruder has broken through to the second floor."

"It's 'Straw Hat' Luffy with a bounty of 300 million!"

"Snort!"

Magellan glared angrily at the 'White Knight' in the sky, having already figured out the whole story. Since that's how it is:

"I'm going to the third floor to take care of Straw Hat Luffy — Domino,"

"You play with this puppet for a while."

"Yes!"
