Impel Down (3)

The further you go, the more intense the fighting becomes inside Impel Down.

Because we've already gotten close to the center of the 'vortex' created by the perpetrator.

The number of prisoners escaping from their cells is also increasing.

The guards of Lv3 Hunger Hell have been upgraded by one level.

After all, those who can be imprisoned here are generally worth more than 50 million in bounties.

In addition to the monsters that appeared before, there were also Jailer Beasts and Army Wolves.

Some of the administrators of Impel Down were also here, and were sensed by Oboro.

They are the prison warden, the blue gorilla commander, Saldeath, who looks like a little devil in a white suit, and Domino, the deputy warden with blond hair and sunglasses. The two seem to be preparing to move upstairs, attempting to re-imprison the escaped prisoners.

In both Level 1 and Level 2 of Hell, some prisoners were released, thanks to Buggy and Mr. 3, but not all of them.

The two main characters received news that, in addition to the Straw Hat, the heinous God Slayer had appeared at this critical juncture with the Hell Pirates!

Moreover, prisoners on the first level are being released in large numbers... Originally, Deputy Warden Domino had already stabilized the situation in Level 1 Crimson Hell before rushing down to provide support.

They have already notified the government.

If enough time can be bought off until reinforcements arrive, the unrest will subside.

"An alarm has been sounded on the first floor, reporting that a man with a white turban is breaking into the cells... One of the prisoners in that area was released by the God Slayer. It has been confirmed that the guy is the 'Judge' of the Hell Pirates, the Logia-type Devil Fruit user." Domino and Saldeath ran back and forth in a corridor.

The woman, holding a leather whip, spoke.

"Without the key, how did he destroy the cell door?"

"Saldeath asked in a cold voice."

Those prison doors are mixed with Seastone particles, so under normal circumstances, fruit abilities won't have any effect.

Furthermore, if it is a Devil Fruit user, they will become weak and powerless as soon as they come into contact with Seastone... It is unrealistic to try to destroy it by relying solely on physical strength.

Those fences were also specially made, especially sturdy and hard.

"The government has long deduced that God Slayer is not a Devil Fruit user, Seastone should have no effect on him... Although Enel can't break the prison door, with his abilities, getting the key from the guards wouldn't be difficult for him."

"Moreover, the soldiers guarding the first floor at sea have also stopped moving... They have most likely been killed. They probably also searched some rooms and found other keys."

"The Hell Pirates, huh?"

"It's alright, it's only one floor."

Saldeath looks youthful, like a child, but he is actually over two meters tall, and his tone and expression are quite mature and calm.

However, his words were somewhat self-comforting.

Because apart from the first level of the Crimson Hell, which was in relatively good condition, the other hells had long been in complete chaos.

The main reason is that the prisoners in the Crimson Hell are relatively less troublesome.

Their conversation had just ended.

While the body is still running.

Suddenly, Saldeath felt a chill run through his body, as if his thoughts had been frozen.

Time stood still at that moment.

Without any warning, a man appeared between him and the Domino.

It was as if it had appeared out of thin air.

Caught off guard, the two didn't even have time to react.

"You guessed right, I am not a Devil Fruit user."

"However, the situation on the first floor of the sea was caused by Blackbeard Teach, not me."

"That guy is just being clever and trying to frame me to divert the World Government's attention... It's just a dirty little trick."

The man in the suit in front of her slowly raised his face, which had been hidden under his top hat.

A slight smile.

Before the other person could finish speaking, Saldeath's pupils had already dilated.

He only saw the man fling out a blurry black shadow.

Then, his body shuddered, and his chest felt cold.

When he looked down, blood gushed out from behind him and splattered onto the floor.

A huge, bloody hole appeared in his chest.

The heart is gone...

Thump.

Saldeath collapsed forward to the ground, lifeless, dying instantly with his eyes wide open in death.

At that moment, Domino, who was running ahead, stopped and looked back.

God Slayer! Oboro stood there, shaking the blood off his hands.

There were no unnecessary movements.

The guard squad that had been following the two upstairs suddenly exploded, leaving a small patch of bloody aura.

Smack

Domino instinctively raised his long whip and lashed it at the enemy.

But... before the whip could sweep across, the God Slayer had already vanished from her sight.

Immediately, that blood-stained hand grabbed her cheek from behind.

"I bet Marshall D. Teach must have told you that he's on the government's side, right?"

A soft, gentle voice echoed in Domino's ears.

The woman's delicate body trembled.

"Actually, he is just like me, standing on the opposite side of the World Government. You have just been deceived by his disguise."

"He came here to find help, but I'm not only here to find help, I'm here to cause trouble."

After saying that, Oboro exerted force with his palm.

Domino's neck was snapped in an instant.

She collapsed softly.

Impel Down's importance to the World Government is self-evident. Now that we're here, Oboro is planning something big.

He couldn't destroy Impel Down, after all, it was one of the foundations of power that the Celestial Dragons had created over a long period of time with countless efforts.

However, he could eliminate the administrators of Impel Down, indirectly crippling the World Government's manpower. Moreover, if he could escape with a large number of One Piece, the 'myth' of Impel Down would be completely shattered.

The resulting upheaval will be unprecedented in some respects.

It was even more serious than him killing Celestial Dragons; the throne representing the Celestial Dragons had developed cracks.

The few people Marshall D. Teach took with him, along with a large number of One Piece who escaped with Luffy, Buggy, and Mr. 3, plus the Hell Pirates were about to recruit, would at least reduce the number of prisoners in Impel Down, because the number of people who died in this turmoil also needs to be taken into account.

And some individuals who escaped to the outside world.

The number of people that Long is going to take away is quite large.

The first level of the Crimson Hell houses one hundred people.

The second level, the Beast Hell, holds two hundred people. Since the prisoners become stronger as you go down, the requirements can be relatively lower. After all, they are all 'scapegoats' used to fight against the Yonko, so there's no need to be too strict.

Of course, the number of prisoners will decrease sharply as you go down the floor, but all things considered, Oboro expects to recruit about a thousand people.

These are just the foundation of the Hell Pirates. Before heading to the New World and clashing with the Big Mom Pirates, they will expand further.

The administrators of Impel Down are all carefully cultivated by the World Government. Even if new people are found to replace them, it won't be easy for them to thoroughly manage Impel Down and integrate into the system in a short period of time. Especially... top-tier combatants like Magellan are not easy to replace.

That's right, this time it's the Impel Down operation.

One of Oboro's goals was... to kill Magellan!
