Impel Down (2)
A terrifying poisonous Spiders poked its head out from the intersection, seemingly sensing the presence of a stranger.
Then, it accelerated and rushed towards them.
But Enel only extended a finger, and the next second an astonishing bolt of lightning struck out, the electric light filling the entire road, like a torrential flood, instantly annihilating the Spiders's body and burning it to ashes.
The air was scorching hot.
The prisoners, who had been making a ruckus, fell silent instantly.
They had originally planned to watch the poisonous Spiders chase the intruders all over the place, but they never expected... one of them to be so powerful.
He is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.
"Let's continue."
From beginning to end, the group of Oboro and his companions didn't even glance at the vanished monster.
Dom knelt down again and placed his palms on the ground.
Soon, the body entered the spatial passage.
Upon witnessing this scene, the prisoners in the jail were thrown into turmoil.
"Save us... let us out, we'll grant you any request and we'll be loyal to you to the death."
Someone shouted in a panic.
His gaze was fixed on Long, and he could tell that the man in the suit was the leader of the intruders.
"Yes... there's still time." Long smiled.
With a wave of his hand, all the prison doors within sight instantly had their bars twisted and ravaged by the powerful airflow, severely damaged.
These prison doors, made of special materials, are incredibly sturdy.
But for Oboro, destruction would be a piece of cake.
"Oh!"
"They're out!"
A large number of One Piece escaped from the prison, shouting excitedly.
Some were relatively calm.
Because simply escaping from a cell is nothing; being able to leave Impel Down is what truly means 'liberation'.
That's incredibly difficult... Even if they manage to reach the first floor of the ship at sea and get to the exit of Impel Down, they won't be able to escape without naval vessels. And even if they had naval warships, they'd still need to find a way to open that Gates of Justice.
Since these intruders were able to get to Impel Down, it means they must have a way to leave.
So, anyone with a clear head knows that the man in the suit in front of them is their only hope.
In addition, this group of people seemed extremely powerful, and if they wanted to survive, they had to provide them with enough value.
Long placed her finger to her lips.
In an instant, all the One Piece fell silent.
The area they were in was only part of the level 1 Crimson Hell; there were many more prisons in other directions.
"Next... you will face a large number of jailers guarding this place, as well as monsters hunting and attacking you, so... as long as you are alive before we return, you have the chance to leave with us on the ship. You should know that there is currently unrest in Impel Down, the Navy has received the news, and a large number of reinforcements are on their way... even if you escape outside, it will be meaningless." Oboro's words filled every One Piece's face with tension. "Let me introduce ourselves, we are the Hell Pirates, participants in the new era."
"Our ship is anchored outside, but due to the limited capacity of the ship, we have to reduce our numbers in order to fight for our right to survive."
As he finished speaking, a wicked glint flashed in Long's eyes as he lowered his head slightly.
"Next, my companion will release all the prisoners on the entire floor. After you have been tested by the Impel Down guards and your numbers have decreased to a certain level, he will act as the judge to conduct the final assessment... There will only be one hundred spots available."
"Of course, you can choose to withdraw... but that also means you'll lose the right to Accompany with us. Whether you live or die is up to you."
"As for granting you this temporary freedom, consider it a small favor from me, since we are all One Piece."
While Oboro was giving his speech, Dom had already used his ability to take the others away one by one.
Proceed to the next level, the Beast Hell.
The man in the suit's words implied something, and everyone present understood.
They fight each other, and the fittest survive.
"Interesting...very much in line with the 'play style' of One Piece." A fat man with a face full of scars and a burly physique stuck out his tongue and said with interest.
"Right?"
Long chimed in, "If you want something, you should fight for it yourself."
"Hell Pirates, I remember now... I know who he is, God Slayer, the guy who killed the Celestial Dragons!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd cried out in alarm.
Killed Celestial Dragons?
"Alright, now that I've finished explaining, I'll take my leave."
With a sly smile, he clapped his hands. "Oh... by the way, let me remind you, don't try to challenge the rules I set. My companion here has quite a bad temper."
"Ha... you have the nerve to say that to me."
Enel let out a cold laugh and glanced sideways at the captain.
According to the plan, the person left behind on this floor is Enel.
"It's up to you."
Long turned back to give instructions, then stepped into the open 'door and window' beside her.
After Oboro left, Enel twirled his Golden Staff, looked at the One Piece whose eyes were fixed on him, and said expressionlessly, "The test has begun, you scum, what are you all standing there for?" After saying that, he continued to pick his earwax and said indifferently, "Oh... by the way, you can start fighting right now, I don't mind."
These words immediately created a tense atmosphere among the One Piece.
Everyone was cautious, looking wary, and keeping a certain distance from the people next to them.
Something's here.
Enel blew a breath of air onto the earwax he had picked off his little finger.
I gave a reminder.
Then, it turned into a wisp of lightning and disappeared.
As soon as the words were spoken, the ground beneath everyone's feet began to tremble.
The One Piece, knowing what was about to happen, turned pale with shock.
Then, at the two intersections on the left and right, a large number of Spiders monsters suddenly surged in, along with 'Blue Gorilla' wielding a large axe, Bluegorilla, and jailers with guns.
"Here!"
"The escaped prisoner has been discovered!"
"Report to your superior immediately."
The second level, the Beast Hell, is completely different from the previous level, the Infinite Hell.
When Long emerged from the void passage, the surrounding cells had been opened... The faint sounds of battle could be heard nearby, with all sorts of strange and ferocious beasts chasing after escaped prisoners, turning them into food. A small squad of prisoners even ran past them, looking at them with some surprise.
Looking at their 'unusual' attire.
A lion-faced creature, drawn by the group of prisoners, stopped in its tracks.
He immediately pounced on Long and the others, clearly targeting them as well.
However, in mid-air, he was kicked away by Kaka, who was flying, and crashed into the wall not far away, sliding down into a pool of blood.
"Wow, this floor is going to be much more lively."
Kaka landed and smiled.
"This floor is now in your hands."
Long said something.
"No problem."
Kaka gave a thumbs up, revealing a set of white teeth.
Then, the same method was used.
Dom continued to use his Blood Demon Art, taking the rest of the people away.
Before activating his ability again, Dom frowned. "The soil is getting thicker, and it seems to get more difficult as we go down. Judging from this, it should be around level 4."
"Um."
Oboro was not surprised.
"Kaka will keep an eye on it."
Before entering the spatial passage, Oboro looked at Crocodile, who seemed lost in thought, and said something.
The events in Alabasta resulted in some Baroque Works members being imprisoned in Impel Down as well.
The one imprisoned in the Beast Hell is the highly valuable Wax-Wax Fruit user, 'Third Brother' Galdino.
It's worth mentioning that Bucky the Buggy was originally in level 1 Crimson Hell.
They've already run away.
Even Oboro, the future Yonko, was ignored, let alone... Galdino.
This one has probably been released from prison as well.
Anyway, these two are definitely not going to die, so there's no need to worry.
They need to save time and make the most of every second.
Because of the involvement of the Hell Pirates, the speed and strength of the Navy's support this time will definitely be extraordinary.
Normally, Impel Down is an independent organization, belonging to a different system from the Navy, and can handle its own follow-up matters... But when Blackbeard, Luffy, and especially him appeared there, the nature of the matter changed.
