Impel Down (5)

After a while, Old Sha and the others who were waiting in the same spot saw Long lead Shiliu away and then return.

"No wonder it was so slow... I thought something had gone wrong."

Crocodile glanced at Shiryu and realized something.

"You really want something to happen to me?"

Long smiled.

"After all, if you die here, our agreement will be null and void."

Crocodile said without any hesitation.

Unfortunately, he also knew that the monsters in Impel Down that could threaten God Slayer were all in the lowest level Infinite Hell.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Shiryu, the warden of Impel Down, is now one of us."

"Long explained."

Old Sha sneered, "It's a bit unexpected that a lackey like you, who already has a status, is valued by the World Government, and has climbed to a certain position, would betray us."

"You're the same way... Crocodile."

Shiryu responded with an evil aura.

Upon hearing this, Crocodile's face immediately turned black.

Shiryu's joining was within their expectations.

Their mission was to replenish their fighting strength.

Rob Lucci, on the other hand, showed a slight change in expression.

"Alright, let's go to the next floor... everyone's waiting there." Oboro clapped his hands, interrupting the discordant atmosphere between Crocodile and Shiryu.

Upon hearing him speak, Crocodile withdrew his cold gaze from Shiryu.

Dom sneered inwardly... It seems things are getting more and more lively on this ship.

Although he didn't know the former warden of Impel Down, nor did he know the other party's original intention to join the One Piece crew, he only felt that... this Shiryu was no less dangerous than Crocodile, and was also a difficult person to communicate with.

In short, there wasn't a single normal person on their ship.

After giving Yurivich a few instructions, Dom opened the spatial portal again, sending the group to Lv4 Scorching Hell one by one.

Upon arriving in the Scorching Hell, the absurdly high temperature made it difficult for Dom to even breathe... Looking around, he saw craters in the ground occasionally spewing flames, and even some molten lava flowing around. Large wisps of smoke swirled in this enclosed space, truly resembling 'hell'.

However, what is more striking than the harsh environment is the number of troops gathered in this layer of the prison.

It seems that almost the entire defensive force of Impel Down has been concentrated here.

The sounds of battle drifted from afar, foreshadowing a large-scale conflict erupting in the heart of this Scorching Hell.

"Amazing temperature..."

Dom reached out and touched the stone surface beside him, feeling it like a red-hot iron plate, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Let's go see the 'king' of Impel Down."

As he spoke, Long stepped forward.

He could already see the battlefield area, where purple poisonous gas permeated the air due to the high temperature.

Clearly, Magellan has already made his move.

Meanwhile, Marshall D. Teach, having failed to find Ace Luffy Infinite Hell, is leading his crew from the Newkama Land upwards in a desperate escape. However, during their journey, they encounter Magellan, who is on his way. In the original story, Teach should also have appeared with the Blackbeard Pirates at this point, but now... the latter has already hidden himself.

So, it became Luffy, Emporio Ivankov, Inazuma Inazuma, Jinbe, Jinbe facing Magellan.

Luffy had already been severely injured by Magellan, poisoned, and imprisoned, on the verge of death. However, he was rescued by Mr. 2 Bon Kurei and taken to the Newkama Land hidden between Level 5 and Level 6, where Emporio Ivankov's Horm-Horm Fruit ability pulled him back from the brink of death.

Right now, Jinbe are aware of what is about to happen at Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

Because Whitebeard has already spoken, he wants to confront the Navy head-on to save his son.

These outsiders now also know about Luffy and Ace's identities, including that Luffy is the son of the Revolutionary Army leader.

However, Crocodile and Daz Bones are no longer part of the group that plans to Impel Down.

"Luffy, you guys go first... I'll take care of things here."

"Death Wink!"

Bang! "Little Eva!" Luffy shouted in alarm.

"Luffy, we need to hurry. We can't be delayed here. There's not much time left before Ace is executed... If we can't get there in time, everything will be meaningless."

At the head of the running group, Jinbe repeatedly knocked away the approaching jailers, while grabbing Luffy, who seemed to be turning back to help Emporio Ivankov, and reminding him.

The staff from the surrounding Newkama Land were also armed with weapons or cannons, blocking the endless stream of interceptors.

Jinbe's words were quite effective.

Luffy eventually caught up with the main group.

Just as the group was marching forward triumphantly and temporarily shook off Magellan behind them, suddenly, a woman holding a trident and wearing devil horns appeared in front of them.

Her waist-length, messy golden hair covered half of her pretty face, and her pink leather jacket was quite revealing.

Surrounding her were four particularly large and unusual Jailer Beasts.

The woman was none other than Sadi, the head jailer of the great prison.

He is also the commander of the Jailer Beasts...

However, the four Jailer Beasts beside her were no ordinary creatures.

The Minotaurus that looks like a cow, the Minokoala, the Minorhinoceros with blue skin, and the Minozebra with long pink hair.

All of them have awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities, and their attack power and recovery ability are both abnormal; otherwise, they could not have been 'suppressed' at level 4.

"Hmm~ We can't let you leave so easily... This is Impel Down. Are you ready... to accept your punishment?"

Sadi chuckled seductively and licked her bright red lips with the tip of her tongue.

Having said that, he prepared to have the four Jailer Beasts attack and defeat all the prisoners in front of him.

The demons and humans were well aware of the power of these four Jailer Beasts, and many of them turned pale with fright.

Jinbe and Luffy, who were leading the group, also suddenly stopped in their tracks, sensing a threat.

The two assumed a fighting stance.

However, the four Jailer Beasts had only taken a few steps forward.

Bang bang bang! Suddenly, an unexpected and bizarre scene unfolded.

The four towering beasts froze on the spot, their limbs stiff... as if bound by an invisible force, their hands and feet beginning to bend and tremble irregularly. That unseen force slowly compressed their bodies, and the Jailer Beasts seemed to try to resist, but it was all in vain. Their limbs were broken, their weapons fell to the ground, and then, with unnatural twisting of their flesh... they exploded with a deafening roar.

Blood gushed into the air.

Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.

Sadi's red lips were also slightly parted.

Then, as if she had sensed something, she was about to turn her head.

But as a sharp blade of air swept across her body, a red line appeared on her neck.

His head and body separated instantly and rolled to the ground.

He died without ever seeing who had made the move.

"Awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruit users... No wonder they could last so long. I had to use all my strength to destroy their bodies."

"Awakened beings also vary in strength... For you, it's hardly a problem at all, right? Next time you lie, put more effort into it."

"Hehe..."

Amidst the sounds of conversation, under the watchful eyes of Jinbe.

Several people are walking towards us.

"Hey, Luffy, we meet again."

As they drew closer and saw the newcomer's face, Jinbe and Inazuma felt a chill run down their spines.

Luffy's stunned expression instantly turned into anger, with veins bulging on his forehead.

Oboro greeted the straw hat with a smile.

"Hazy!!!"
