Sengoku: Magellan, What the Hell Are You Talking About?

Today, the skies over Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, are clear and the sun is blazing, giving people an exceptionally pleasant feeling.

The Admiral Sengoku period was standing in front of the window of his office, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea. Looking at the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky merging into one outside the window, he felt so relaxed and at ease.

After taking a sip of tea, the Admiral Sengoku smiled and muttered to himself, "What a peaceful day. Finishing everything on time these past few days was definitely the right choice..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of urgent knocks on the door yanked him out of his comfort.

Sengoku frowned, feeling somewhat displeased, but he suppressed his anger and said in a calm tone, "Come in."

Immediately, a Lieutenant Commander from the Intelligence Department rushed in, sweating profusely, and said in a very tense and anxious tone, "Admiral, something terrible has happened! We received an alert from Impel Down; something's happened there!!!"

"What!?" Sengoku's eyes widened in disbelief.

The Marine Headquarters naturally has an alarm system connected to Impel Down. If there is a problem there, they can receive the message immediately. Normally, Impel Down would give a heads-up before the alarm goes off, saying that they are conducting an exercise. But this time, no one gave a heads-up beforehand, which means that there is really a problem on their end!

In the original story, Impel Down was thrown into chaos without any support because the Marine Headquarters was engaged in a fierce battle, focusing all its efforts on dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates during the Summit War.

Even the Fortress of Justice was nearly knocked down by Whitebeard with a single punch, and alarms were blaring incessantly. Who cares about Impel Down as much as I do?

But things are different now. With the Marine Headquarters calm and peaceful, Sengoku is naturally anxious. He immediately ordered, "Aren't Kuzan and Garp both at Headquarters? Quick, prepare ships for them, open the Gate of Justice, and send them to support Impel Down right now!"

Then, Sengoku issued a series of orders, and the Marine Headquarters immediately entered a state of combat readiness. A large number of Marines soldiers quickly boarded the warships. Garp didn't dare to delay and quickly joined forces with Kuzan to prepare to go to Impel Down to provide support.

After giving all these instructions, Sengoku finally managed to contact Magellan and get through to him via Den Den Den Mushi.

Meanwhile, Magellan watched the last scene on the monitor: Rayleigh and the Fish-Man carrying Shiki back into the sea.

"We've finally got this operation sorted out without any mistakes..." Magellan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Magellan must have felt a lot of pressure putting a top-tier Great Pirate like Rayleigh into the Impel Down without any restrictions, right?

Seeing the Den Den Mushi on the table ring, and judging from its appearance, it must be the Admiral Sengoku. Magellan composed himself slightly and answered the Den Den Mushi, saying, "Admiral!"

At the Marine Headquarters, before Sengoku could even speak, he heard Magellan's powerful and calm response, which puzzled him. "Wait, in this situation, how come you seem so calm and collected?"

"Magellan, something happened to Impel Down!?" The Admiral Sengoku, disregarding his own doubts, quickly inquired.

Magellan thought to himself, "Admiral's acting is truly superb. That tone, that attitude—if you didn't know him, you'd think he really didn't know!"

However, since this scene is already set up here, I can't just leave the Admiral stuck here; I have to cooperate.

Therefore, Magellan said in a deep voice, "That's right, something's happened. Shiki has escaped from here!"

Perhaps Magellan's acting wasn't very good, but when he spoke, his tone was stiff and bland, lacking the rich emotions of Admiral Sengoku.

So Sengoku was even more confused on the Den Den Mushi. "Such a big thing, why are you reporting to me so calmly, like a block of wood? Aren't you worried?"

But then I thought again, Impel Down was an impenetrable fortress, and Magellan's abilities were so well-suited to that environment. Coupled with that calm tone, maybe the problem had already been solved? Was I just being too anxious? I didn't seem as composed Admiral.

Therefore, Sengoku swallowed the question he was about to ask and his tone became more composed, as if to say, "I knew you could do it." He said, "It seems you've already solved the problem. Was Shiki imprisoned by Chong? Or did you kill him?"

As he said this, he was even considering bringing Garp and Kuzan over, and he took a sip of the tea in his hand.

Magellan responded crisply from the Den Den Mushi: "No, Shiki has completely escaped and fled Impel Down. Don't worry, Admiral!"

When Sengoku heard this, he spat out a mouthful of hot tea. What the hell am I supposed to be worried about?

"Shiki has already escaped from prison, and you expect me to feel at ease? Magellan, do you want to hear what you're saying?!" Sengoku roared angrily.

Magellan realized his mistake as soon as he said it. How could he have told the Admiral to rest assured? Didn't that make it seem like the Admiral was hoping for Shiki's escape? Wouldn't that have put the Admiral in a difficult position again?

Sure enough, the next second, we heard Sengoku's roar and angry howl. The strong emotions contained in it made Magellan admire him from the bottom of his heart. He thought, "Seriously, I am still far behind. Just this acting skill alone is worthy of the title of Marine Admiral!"

"I'm sorry, Admiral, I misspoke. I'm very sorry about Shiki's escape; it was my dereliction of duty!!!" Magellan replied to the Den Den Mushi with a strong voice.

Sengoku was taken aback for a moment, but considering that now was not the time to lose his temper, he pressed on, "Where are you at now?"

Has a surveillance ship already been dispatched to track Shiki? Although Sengoku felt he couldn't catch up with Shiki, according to the rules, that's how it should be done, at least they should try!

"We..." Magellan was somewhat puzzled. What else were we supposed to do?

Hasn't Shiki already successfully escaped? The plan is already complete at my stage, right? What's still going on? I was about to leave work, wasn't I?

Hearing Magellan's hesitant tone on the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku's anger, which Sengoku had just suppressed, suddenly flared up again. Wait, when he promoted Magellan, how come he didn't notice how incompetent this guy was? This doesn't make sense, does it?

Remembering that he was the one who had personally promoted this guy, Sengoku became even angrier and couldn't help but roar at the Den Den Mushi, "Tell me, how far have we gotten?!"

"Is it time to... go home?" Magellan was instantly stunned by the imposing aura coming from Sengoku's Den Den Mushi, and blurted out the answer without thinking.

Sengoku was also stunned on the other end of the Den Den Mushi. Huh?

No, are you getting ready to leave work?

How dare you say that to me?! Don't you want to live anymore?!

"What the hell are you doing, Magellan? Are you out of your mind?? What nonsense are you spouting? Go home? Do you even want to keep your job?!" Sengoku angrily unleashed his fury through the Den Den Mushi. At this moment, his manners as Admiral were no longer important. If he didn't vent his anger, he felt like he was going to have a stroke!

The question, "Do you still want to work here?" immediately silenced Magellan.

Magellan immediately understood what the Admiral Sengoku meant. Yes, such a big incident has occurred, I should take responsibility first, how can I leave work? As for the follow-up incident, once everything settles down, I will be the Admiral's confidant, how could the Admiral treat me badly?

But speaking of Shinji, Admiral's acting was really good. I thought he was really angry!

"I'm sorry, Admiral, the responsibility for this incident lies entirely with me. I will write my resignation letter now and resign to take responsibility!" Magellan responded immediately.

Sengoku is truly bewildered this time. He now strongly suspects that Magellan is possessed!

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so clueless. Jian Zi is an idiot!

I even praised Ortolan to him a few days ago, saying he was a smart man. Now that I think about it, I really misjudged him... Wait, Ortolan!?

Considering Magellan's sudden madness and mental breakdown, and taking into account that not long ago, this guy Ortolan inexplicably wanted to visit Magellan... Sengoku immediately felt something was wrong!

Thinking about this, the Admiral Sengoku became even more suspicious.

Holy crap, could it be that Ortolan is doing this behind my back?!

I repeatedly told him to keep a low profile and not cause any trouble, but after he went to Impel Down for a while, Shiki suddenly broke out of prison. Is that reasonable?

Too lazy to bother with Magellan, who might have temporarily lost his mind, Sengoku immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi and prepared to call that bastard Ortolan to question him about whether this situation had anything to do with him!

If so, what does he want to do?

Did he release Shiki because he felt life was too peaceful and tasteless?
