Prison Break on Level Six: The So-Called Fate

"Hehehe, Roman, quickly help me rescue Ace!"

Seeing Luffy, who had come to 'harass' the White Knight right after receiving treatment, Roman, who had just 'returned' from the other side, habitually rubbed his temples.

"Not so easy—you've witnessed Magellan's power, haven't you? Forget fighting, just encountering him would be fatal..."

"But I must rescue Ace!"

In response to Luffy's words, the White Knight nodded noncommittally.

"Alright, but with our combined strength..."

"I'll go with you, Straw Hat Kid."

The Okama King with a big head and an afro walked over and said, "I am a good friend of your father, Dragon, and I am also a cadre of the revolutionaries. I have an obligation to help you."

The sea outside is turbulent, and it's time to break out of prison.

"Inazuma, notify everyone—grab your weapons and prepare to move out!"

The so-called 'Newkama Land' is nothing more than a group of pitiful people struggling to survive in prison. Who would want to live like Rat in a gutter when they can see blue skies and white clouds? Moreover:

If Impel Down still hasn't realized there's a 'hidden layer' in the prison after this escape, it would be an insult to the Navy's intelligence.

"In that case, let's set off."

The White Knight put his arms around Buggy and Mr. 3, who were about to make a run for it, and said, "Good brothers, true to our word! Let's team up and take down Magellan."

?

If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!

No, this guy is just a Devil Fruit ability puppet; the real one is probably hiding somewhere enjoying himself...

"Um?"

Faced with the White Knight's 'sullen face', Buggy and Mr. 3 nodded with tears streaming down their faces.

"No problem······"

You have the biggest fist, so you get to call the shots.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely make it out!"

When faced with Luffy's toothy Luffy, Buggy and Mr. 3 felt as if they had seen an angel!

As for the demon, it is undoubtedly the White Knight is full of evil intentions.

"Heading to the sixth floor—"

Meanwhile, on the sixth floor.

"Portgas D. Ace, it's time to hit the road."

"The previous riots..."

In response to Ace's words, the towering Magellan simply gave a calm reply.

"Just a few Rat, and they've already been poisoned by me—"

"Now they're hiding in some ditch, barely clinging to life, but my men will find them—in the form of corpses!"

After saying this, Magellan immediately ordered the cages to be opened.

"Oh, right, there's a guy among them named 'Straw Hat' Luffy."

"Asshole--"

Bang!

With a single Ace strike, the towering Magellan coldly interrupted Ace's questioning, as if grabbing a chick.

"Don't forget who you are, pirate!"

"Mistress, the keys!"

With Mr. 3 around, the Infinite Key can open all the locks, leaving Roman, who controls the White Knight, speechless. The World Government has time to develop robots; they should upgrade their locks and handcuffs instead... they're practically useless.

"Full speed ahead, head straight for the sixth floor!"

Luffy led the Luffy, followed by the White Knight, then Ivankov, the Okama King, and Inazuma with a glass of red wine, followed by Bon Clay, Buggy, and Mr. 3.

Why do we also...?

"Um?!"

"Charge! Rescue the Ace brothers!" x2

These two guys... The White Knight cleaved a wolf in two with a single sword stroke, conjuring a shield to block bullets from the prison guards. He took the lead in defense and parrying, while Luffy extended his shield for attack, advancing unstoppably to the sixth floor. Then:

They were faced with handcuffs and chains scattered on the ground.

"Damn it... Ace isn't here..."

Upon seeing Luffy carrying Straw Hat and the White Knight beside him, Jinbe in the cell immediately realized what was happening.

I have a younger brother...

'Who told me to have such a stubborn captain in my family...'

Is this Straw Hat Luffy? Ace's younger brother—the chubby blue Fish-Man in the cell—looked at the white-armored puppet beside him, never expecting that this Celestial Dragons would actually betray his allegiance for his 'comrades'...

"You must be Straw Hat Luffy?"

The blue, chubby Fish-Man nodded as Luffy looked over.

"Ace... has already been moved away by Magellan beforehand, and—"

"Haha, Little Zero, you're locked up here!"

"Old... boss,"

On the other side, von Clay and Mr. 3 looked into the adjacent cell, where:

"You two... you actually managed to escape from prison?"

Crocodile glanced at Luffy and the White Knight beside him, understanding the situation perfectly.

"Luckily, we ran into someone else—"

"Hahaha, Little Zero, that's no ordinary person." von Clay twirled around while giving Crocodile a thumbs-up in the cell.

"We're friends!"

·····

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to Marine Headquarters!"

Upon learning that Ace had been taken away, Luffy immediately made up his mind.

"Don't talk nonsense!" the Okama King exclaimed anxiously. Escaping from prison was one thing, but getting involved in the battle at Marine Headquarters was another.

"Do you know what kind of place that is? That's a world-class war, with Marine Admiral, Shichibukai Admirals, Vice Admiral... How are you going to get there to rescue people?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the white-armored puppet next to him.

"Hey, you blank-paper guy, why don't you try to persuade your captain too?"

"Don't panic,"

The White Knight waved his hand.

"Panic won't help."

?!

"Luffy isn't someone who can be easily persuaded, besides—"

The Marineford War... I want to see what the world's top combat power is really like.

"I want to go!"

Luffy turned to look at Okama King, Inazuma, and the others.

"If I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

——!

In an instant, Luffy's unwavering aura caused even the far stronger Okama King to instinctively take a small step back. This spirit of creating miracles even with the smallest of hopes...

He had felt it many times through the 'dragon'!

No wonder they're father and son...

"Kuhahaha, funny."

Crocodile walked up to the cage with an arrogant and wicked smile on his face.

"If you're going to break out, then let me out!"

"I can help you deal with the defenders, how about it, Straw Hat Kid— "

?

"It's you, you crocodile! You've made a mess of Vivi's country, I'm not going to let you get away with this!"

"I've long since lost interest in that country, but my abilities can help you get out of here; it's a win-win situation..."

"Letting him out is fine, Straw Hat Kid."

The Okama King walked over.

"I have a secret about him that will guarantee he'll behave. Right, Crocodile Boy?"

"Ivankov..."

While Luffy was recruiting, Roman's attention was focused on the other cells.

"You're hesitating, kid."

?

He was a tall, thin, elderly prisoner with white hair braided into two plaits that hung over his shoulders.

"I am indeed hesitant,"

Despite being imprisoned, he was still able to 'read' Roman's thoughts within the puppet White Knight. There is only one person in the world whose Observation Haki can achieve such a level.

"Mr. Patrick Redfield".

Or rather: The Red Earl!

Known as "The Lone Red," he single-handedly rivaled Roger and Whitebeard. He once defeated the previous Fleet Admiral "Kong" in a head-on battle. Although he was captured by Garp who arrived on the scene, he fought against two top-tier fighters, and his defeat was still honorable.

"What would you do if you knew your fate?"

Faced with the White Knight's question, the old man in the cell smiled nonchalantly.

"I don't care about fate, I just want to find a quiet place to bask in the sun and feel the sea breeze. — It would be even better if I could have a young body."

No wonder Sengoku said you possess the power of an entire Yonko crew, while Garp said you weren't good enough to leave your mark on history.

—It's really bizarre that you only want to be a 'couch potato' with such top-notch fighting power.

"Destiny?"

In the other cell, a man of extremely large build, with long blond hair and wearing earmuffs, stood calmly with his arms crossed.

"Is fate harder than my fist?"

Douglas Bullet, yet another world-class fighter!

"Tsk, seeing how confident you are, I'm even tempted to..."

I'll send you to Holy Land Mary Geoise on the Red Line, to train and see what it means to be invincible for eight hundred years.

"Fine, whether you believe in fate or not, I've already made my decision—"

The White Knight turned around and saw that Luffy and his Luffy had released Crocodile and Jinbe and were eagerly preparing for an armed breakout.

"This time I will not interfere with 'fate',"

??

With the two top-tier combatants looking at him with a "what did you say?" expression, the White Knight waved his hand as he left.

Perhaps you don't know, but your 'fate' is in my hands.

"May you regain your freedom."

P. S.: See you in the movie... cough cough
