Don't be fooled by the tough talk of the great pirates on Level 6 of Impel Down.
But in reality, after someone pointed out Gawain's Celestial Dragon identity...
Eighty percent of the pirates on the sixth floor shut their mouths.
It's not that even guys like them are afraid of the Celestial Dragon.
However, having spent so much time in prison, they had certainly heard about what they had seen and heard in the past year.
In the past year, many inmates on the fifth floor have been taken to Mary Geoise as slaves.
The jailers in Impel Down who were responsible for feeding the prisoners often used this kind of thing to scare the big criminals on Level Six.
There's no way around it; everyone on the sixth floor has a bounty of over 800 million, and among them are legendary pirates who held a status equivalent to the Four Emperors thirty to fifty years ago.
Red Count is still squatting here. You can imagine how magnanimous these pirates are. Although not everyone has Conqueror's Haki 'Conqueror's Haki, it's not surprising that one in ten has it.
For criminals like these, it's extremely difficult to instill fear and pain; Impel Down is nothing more than a hotel for them to spend the rest of their lives.
Therefore, in order to instill fear in the major criminals of the sixth level as well.
Therefore, the previous warden resolutely introduced the 5.5th level of hell, the Kamabakka Kingdom.
In the past year, besides the threat posed by the Kamabakka Kingdom to major criminals—being forced to become transvestites—there has also been other issue.
The jailers now face an additional threat from Mary Geoise.
If the criminals are resentful, or excessively curse the prison guards.
Then let's take them to Mary Geoise and make those arrogant bastards serve as dogs for the Celestial Dragon!
Mary Geoise has stood for a thousand years, and that's no joke. The great pirates know this well; even if they were at full strength, they wouldn't be able to cause any real damage to Mary Geoise.
Especially under the current circumstances where things are under control...
Therefore, these criminals have become much more well-behaved in the past year.
Especially after Gawain arrived...
At least 80% of criminals don't dare to use foul language anymore...
What if I really get dragged into being a dog by the Celestial Dragon?
No matter what flavor of dog food it is, it's not worth sacrificing so much for them!
For a moment, the noise surrounding Gawain subsided considerably, leaving only a dozen or so fearless individuals continuing their foul language.
Gawain glanced at them immediately.
Under Gawain's gaze, the criminals not only didn't stop, but became even more brazen.
In a short moment, Gawain saw the true purpose of their curses from their different postures and eyes.
Those who hurl the harshest insults almost always end up in the most miserable state.
Just like how Ace and Doflamingo, who were imprisoned back then, had different poses.
These criminals were treated differently after they were imprisoned.
Those who have been living a miserable life for a long time have long been fed up with their current existence.
It's either death or being forced to be a dog...
In any case, as long as I can leave this place in a different way, that's enough!
Indeed, the eyes of these people were filled with longing, and that look made Gawain understand the significance of Impel Down.
It's not that there aren't good people in this prison; the World Government has no shortage of wrongful convictions.
But even if you kill 99 out of 100 people here, it's definitely not too many!
It would be better to let them continue to decay like this than to let them die a quick and clean death.
Thinking this, Gawain quietly dropped his coldness and replaced it with a smile.
He smiled and waved to those around him.
"Hehe, it seems everyone is quite welcoming to me; you've all been very enthusiastic about my arrival."
At this point, Gawain casually patted Domino's shoulder.
The moment this capable young woman felt the warmth of Gawain's hand, her face immediately flushed red.
There's no way around it, Domino's a sucker for good looks!
I'm a sucker for good looks, regardless of gender!!!
Forcing himself to swallow, Domino stared stiffly at Gawain.
Meeting Domino's gaze, Gawain chuckled and said.
"To thank everyone on the sixth floor for their welcome, let's cut off their food for the next week. Hopefully, this will make them remember me for longer."
Besides that, I'm taking someone with me, you can probably guess that, right?
"What the hell!"
"Food out!!!"
"Take one person with you!"
"So you really want us to be your dogs!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I have the pride to stand tall. I'd rather starve or die of thirst than be your dog!"
Before Domino could even reply, the surrounding prisoners eagerly began to work.
But those who spoke up, while generally tough in words, still had eyes filled with longing...
Especially that proud and unyielding guy, he was practically ready to wrap the chain around his neck and perform a scene of fiercely protecting his food for Gawain...
Clearly, this kind of guy is not the kind of person Gawain wants, and even Domino understands this.
Domino then yelled at the group of prisoners who had spoken, and only after they quieted down a little did she approach Gawain and speak.
"Gawain, in principle, to grant a pardon to a sixth-level criminal, a pardon decree signed by at least three of the Five Elders is required."
However, if there's only one...
Ahem, anyway, you must know in your heart that two or three criminals will accidentally die in Impel Down soon.
However, sir, I hope that once that criminal is in your hands, he will not continue his previous life."
After saying that, Domino glanced at Gawain's collarbone with Gawain eyes.
It's unbelievable that a man can look like this; he's so charming!
Domino swallowed hard, cautiously awaiting Gawain's reply.
Gawain nodded slightly as he watched the dazed Domino.
"Don't worry, I just want to take one criminal away; it won't affect your work."
As for the criminal's future, he will one day follow behind me until he stands before the Five Elders.
So, there's no need to worry about program issues.
After saying that, Gawain gently removed Domino's military cap and then ruffled Domino's hair.
People often wonder, after Gawain determined the clothing style of the Dark Bird Ship, what kind of clothes did Hancock and the others wear?
If you think about it that way, you might as well search for photos of Domino, because Domino's clothing style is naturally similar to that of the Dark Bird Ship.
This woman is the kind of fashionable lady who exudes a military-style vibe.
While thinking, Gawain rubbed Domino with his hands, panting heavily.
Seeing that he was about to make a sound, Domino quickly stood up straight again to distract himself.
She raised her hand and pointed to the almost endless, pitch-black prison corridor, panting as she spoke to Gawain.
"So, sir, is that the person you want to take away?"
After saying that, Domino's gaze shot towards the darkest part of the prison.
Under Domino's gaze, three or four veteran legendary pirates frowned.
Red Count grinned and gave a cold laugh.
"Looks like they don't need that bunch of trash outside, huh."
"So they think they still have a chance to control me?"
Byrnndi World chuckled.
Hearing World's laughter, the Red Count curled his lip in disdain.
"Bullshit, you're trash too."
Having said that, Red Count ignored the arrogant World.
After all, World, the World Destroyer, actually didn't have the corresponding strength or achievements.
The reason he was imprisoned among the most serious criminals was because...
It's simply because the World Government is vaguely wary of that guy's Devil Fruit ability.
Just think about it, what kind of people are locked up here!
He himself, the Red Count, was someone who single-handedly fought against Whitebeard, Roger, and a series of other pirate crews.
Even the Kong from back then was no match for him.
He was captured by Garp after defeating Kong.
What level World at that? How dare he be treated the same as me?
As for the others...
Hehe.
This place not only contains true destroyers who fought against the God's Knights, but also combatants Bullet from the Pirate King's ship.
Therefore, what that Celestial Dragon wanted was not just a high-ranking slave.
Is he looking for combat fodder?
For a moment, Red Count looked at Gawain with suspicion.
If someone is still capable of fighting after being released from prison, then bowing their head doesn't seem like a big deal.
Unfortunately, Gawain did not look at the Red Count.
As they passed the Red Count, their initial sneer turned to confusion, and finally to resentment and indifference.
Gawain and Mihawk walked straight up to Bullet.
Snap...
Snap...
When Gawain arrived, Bullet was lazily shaking his leg.
Each time he shook his leg, the chains binding him would rattle and make a sound.
After Gawain stopped, he slowly raised his head and looked at Gawain against the backlight of the corridor.
"Oh..."
He chuckled softly.
"So your target is me, Celestial Dragon?"
"Yes, Bullet, it's really not easy for me to see you."
Come, Domino, unlock Bullet's chains.
Whether it's ordinary shackles or Seastone chains!
"Yes... Huh?!
Hit, hit, hit... Open?!
Should we open it now?
This... this... this isn't appropriate!
Bullet was the top combatant under the Pirate King Roger; his strength...
Even Warden Magellan had to expend considerable effort to deal with him!
Domino almost instinctively opened Bullet's prison door.
After only a brief moment of reaction, Domino was terrified by Gawain's command!
Inside the cell, listening to Domino's trembling voice, Bullet laughed out loud.
Bullet smiled and nodded appreciatively.
"A very good order; they're willing to give me complete freedom right from the start."
Unfortunately, I don't care what you can give me. Don't expect me to be your dog this way, haha.
Bullet laughed heartily as he opened his arms wide in delight.
When he stood there, he looked like a strong, towering figure!
Bullet stretched his limbs slightly and let out a comfortable breath.
"Come on, Celestial Dragon, I'm waiting for you to unlock my lock."
You should know that the moment I'm released, I will use my strongest power to kill you!
Even knowing this, you still choose to let me go?
If so, then let me see your magnanimity, Celestial Dragon!
After saying that, Bullet looked at Gawain with a provocative smile.
Meeting Bullet's provocative gaze, Gawain smiled slightly and nodded.
"Domino, do as I say, unlock all of Bullet's confinement."
As for his threats against me, they were hardly any threats at all.
Because only a declaration by the strong to the weak is a true threat.
As for the arrogant and delusional words uttered by the weak to the strong.
It's just the barking of a loser!
At this point, Gawain patted Domino on the shoulder heavily.
Domino's legs started trembling after Gawain slapped him like that.
How can this Celestial Dragon be so handsome and so Haki!
That was a foul!!!
A surge of force suddenly rose from Domino's tailbone, rushing straight to the top of Domino head, stimulating her to instinctively unlock all the restraints in Bullet's cell.
Suddenly, in Bullet's astonished gaze...
He actually gained complete freedom!!!
Ding-ling-dang-lang...
As the shackles on Bullet's body fell, the Red Count in the cell not far away sighed softly.
"Damn it, another big shot has appeared in Mary Geoise."
"Fate really does favor that damned race."
After speaking, the Red Count turned slightly and looked at Bullet with great interest.
After decades of contact, he knew what kind of person Bullet was.
He said he would kill Gawain, this Celestial Dragon, as soon as he came out.
Then he really will kill Gawain!!!
Under the excited gaze of the Red Count, Bullet let out a long breath, then clenched his fist tightly!
"This is... what freedom feels like!"
Even freedom bestowed upon us is... something to behold!!!
Thank you so much, Celestial Dragon!
"Ultimate Horn!!!"
Suddenly, Bullet transformed into a hurricane and charged towards Gawain!
Only...
Facing Bullet's fist, which surged like a torrent, Gawain remained motionless, staring at the Red Count!
"Are you the Red Count?"
Gawain smiled slightly, while Mihawk beside him suddenly drew his Black Blade!
"An exciting opponent, but unfortunately not a swordsman!"
As he commented, Mihawk's knife collided violently with Bullet's fist.
In an instant, the violent shockwave threatened to destroy the surrounding ground and walls, and even the entire lower level of Impel Down!
But just as the shockwave was about to spread, right before the Red Count's astonished gaze...
Gawain suddenly clapped his hands together.
Snap!
With the sound of their palms colliding, Gawain recited softly.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
Buzzing~~~.
An invisible darkness suddenly engulfed Mihawk and Bullet, and the two of them, along with their shockwaves powerful enough to destroy everything, vanished completely from the sixth level of Impel Down.
And that's exactly what happened after they disappeared.
Gawain released his hands and turned to face the Red Count.
Across the cell, Gawain gave Red Count a slight nod.
"You're not bad, buddy."
If I have the chance in the future, I will come to see you again.
And you...
You'd better wait until I see you.
Think carefully about what you're going to say to me then!
