Impel Down's Discovered Level 5.5!

Outside the island, the arrival of the Dog-Head Warship had already been discovered by Rear Admiral Ivan, who then used Geppo alone to come and pay his respects to Vice Admiral Garp.

He was standing next to Rear Admiral Bogard, listening in astonishment as the latter explained the situation in Dragon, when suddenly he looked up at the sky over the island.

"The power of the Hurricane Fruit Awakening?"

"My god, didn't he just Awakening Conqueror's Haki?!"

Interestingly, although Rear Admiral Ivan and Rear Admiral Bogard are of the same rank, Evan's Observation Haki doesn't even reach Sabak City, while the latter seems to be able to sense it with ease.

"Yes, although I've heard that the Awakening of Devil Fruit abilities has nothing to do with strength and depends entirely on so-called luck, it's truly astonishing that Major Rear Admiral Dragon Awakening ability in just over a year."

Even the usually taciturn Bogard was amazed by this, then turned his gaze to Garp in front of him and laughed, "Shouldn't we say, 'As expected of your son?'"

Garp shook his head after hearing this and said, "The Awakening of the Devil Fruit is indeed unexpected, but that's not the key. You can't defeat that 'Slave King' with that alone."

"You mean...?" Rear Admiral General Ivan asked, puzzled.

"The key is that the kid's heart is undergoing a transformation!"

Garp crossed his arms, sensing the change in Dragon's Haki as he continued speaking.

"Previously, this kid was filled with distress, Wrath, resentment, hesitation, and struggle because of those Celestial Dragons and all the darkness within him. In addition, his defection plan was intercepted on the spot."

"To be honest, if he continues like this, his Haki will weaken, and one day he might not even be able to use it anymore, because his heart will no longer be firm."

"Haki originates from the power of the heart and the power of will. Only with a sufficiently firm will can one master Haki. Furthermore, the strength of one's will and the power of one's inner self determine the strength of Haki."

Upon hearing this bigwig's first words, Rear Admiral Ivan's face turned deathly pale. He mentally screamed, "What the hell? Who dares to insult Celestial Dragons to their face like that? Isn't this courting death?!"

But Rear Admiral Bogard beside him seemed unconcerned, instead lowering his chin in deep thought as he said, "You mean Major Rear Admiral Dragon's inner strength grows with each battle, which is the fundamental reason why he can 'come back from the dead' every time?"

"No!"

Garp shook his head again and said, "The change in his heart only made his Haki stronger, which is the key to defeating powerful opponents, but it can't have kept him going until now."

"Then?" Rear Admiral Bogard asked.

"The body's potential."

Garp calmly uttered these five words.

"Although the power of Haki energy originates from the heart, it is ultimately a materialization of the heart. Power is fundamentally matter, which is what is commonly referred to as physical strength and vitality."

"Dragon has received my 'Fist of Love Training' since he was a child, and by the time he was ten years old, Life Return had become an instinct."

"By now, his level of control over his body far surpasses that of most Life Return practitioners, even you, Bogard. Plus, you have accumulated enough life force within you, which is the power that allows him to get up time and time again!"

After listening, Rear Admiral Bogard fell silent again, raising his gaze to continue watching the battle between the hurricane and the sandstorm. Rear Admiral Ivan beside him also understood, looking as if Satori something.

"Therefore, it is his superhuman physical strength that allows his Haki to continuously increase. For Dragon Rear Admiral to defeat the King Taklama, both are indispensable!"

Garp nodded and smiled, "That's right. Whether it's Conqueror's Haki or Awakening abilities, these only appear impressive and spectacular."

"Even if he becomes Logia Fruit user, that kid's greatest strength ultimately lies in the Physical Arts I taught him since childhood. That's what distinguishes him from Sakazuki and the others."

Then, the naval hero grinned proudly and said, "Just wait and see. This battle will only last another day, maybe even half a day, before a winner is decided. Dragon can hold out for two more days, but that 'Slave King' can't."

However, there were still things he didn't say aloud.

This battle will be the most important battle of Dragon's life. Defeating the 'Slave King' King Taklama and saving hundreds of thousands of innocent slaves will be enough to clear away the negative emotions in his heart and solidify his sense of justice.

In terms of strength, after this battle, he is on par with Sakazuki and Borsalino, or even slightly better, while Kuzan is still somewhat lacking.

This made Garp consider whether he should ask Dragon for the title of an Admiral.

However, he immediately dismissed this idea Gangyi came to mind.

Firstly, there are only three Admiral positions, and he quite likes Kuzan. Secondly, he feels that Dragon, like himself, wouldn't want to be an Admiral and just clean up the mess for those Celestial Dragons.

Although it's said that the Five Elders have ordered a ban on Celestial Dragons leaving Mary Geoise without permission, who can guarantee that nothing unexpected won't happen, or what if the ban Dispel someday?

"Hmm, it seems this brat will end up like me, Vice Admiral for life."

Just then, a marine ran up quickly, saluted, and loudly reported, "Reporting to Vice Admiral Garp, the Fleet Admiral orders you to return to Marineford immediately; there is an important mission to carry out!"

"Oh?"

Garp turned around and raised an eyebrow, while Rear Admiral Bogard beside him pondered what could be the matter, as it was rare for Fleet Admiral to personally issue an order.

Generally speaking, it was the generals of the Sengoku Admiral issue notices through methods such as 'discussion' or 'scolding'.

His most recent mission, he remembered, was last year when he went to the South Blue to capture the Pirate King Roger.

In Impel Down, the Impel Down the Grand Line, Magellan, now the Vice Warden, is with Warden Columbus in an ordinary-looking building.

It is described as unremarkable because this place has neither Crimson Lotus Hell knife-and-sword -Sword Grass -and-iron-and -Blazing Hell- and-cold-and- Extreme Cold Hell...

There was nothing there, just a very ordinary, dimly lit space.

However, a group of people claiming to be staff from the Construction Division are now using measuring tapes to record the dimensions of various places, supposedly because they plan to build this place into some kind of research institute.

"There's such a large area between the fifth and sixth floors, and we didn't even know it?" Magellan observed his surroundings in disbelief.

Warden Columbus chuckled wryly, "I never imagined this either. If Cipher Pol hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known even on my retirement day that there was such a thing as the Level 5.5 in Impel Down, where I've lived my whole life."

Not far away, Coulson, Senior Director of the Administrative Department, was seen accompanying a researcher in a white coat as they inspected the surrounding area.

"Professor Fritz, after the reorganization of the Science Unit, the Biochemical Research Institute will be located here. From now on, this place will be the place for research, experimentation, storage, and all biochemical-related data and products."

"If research requires human trials, you can request criminal samples from the Warden here. Similarly, if there is a biological weapon leak, please seek their help immediately. I believe Vice Warden Magellan will handle it well; he is a Paramecia Venom-Venom Devil Fruit User."

As Coulson spoke, he pointed in the direction of Magellan, and Professor Fritz nodded excitedly, saying "yes, yes, yes" repeatedly.

In his view, this place was simply the best secret research base; he couldn't imagine a place that was safer, more secluded, and had more human subjects.

"Furthermore, the first task of the Biochemical Research Institute is to develop an effective method to treat Amber Lead Syndrome using biochemical methods. You will be able to see the relevant information on Amber Lead Syndrome later. As for the patients, they will be sent over gradually after the facilities here are completed."

"Master, what is Amber Lead Syndrome?"

Just as Professor Fritz was about to say something, a boy who seemed a little too excited came over and asked curiously.

The person had a youthful face, but was nearly two meters tall, with a thick head of long hair that reached his shoulders, and even a pair of ram's horns on his head, making him look unlike a normal human.

Professor Fritz looked helplessly at his fourteen-year-old student, but the boy's talent was truly outstanding, and he actually doted on him quite a bit.

"Behave yourself, Caesar."
