The prisoners of the Infinite Hell sprang into action, most of them running towards the only exit from the Infinite Hell.

But there are always those who don't follow the beaten path.

"Momo 50x Cannon!"

"Momo Fifty-Fold Speed!"

A man's voice rang out; he was dressed in Viking attire, wearing a helmet with broken horns.

Many people stared at him in disbelief, unable to believe that this person was still alive. They had never known that such a great figure was hidden in the Infinite Hell.

This is Bundy Roger, the captain of the World Pirates, known as the "World Destroyer." Like Bondy Whitebeard a, he is a man feared by the Navy and the World Government. He Devil Fruit User and has the ambition to destroy the world.

Teach was also a little curious. Seeing him like this, with ice shards still clinging to his clothes, it seemed he had just broken free of the ice, since he remembered being frozen solid.

He was holding a huge rock in his hand, which he threw with one arm toward his head.

With immense force, the boulder flew upwards.

With the power of the More-More Fruit, the boulder instantly magnified fifty times, and its speed also increased fifty times, resulting in astonishing destructive power. This single move alone demonstrated the immense strength of his abilities.

The entire Infinite Hell suddenly lit up. Under Bondy a's powerful attack, the solid rock wall connecting the fifth and sixth levels was instantly blasted into a large crater.

With a light leap, Bondy a covered a hundred meters, his feet treading on Geppo, and passed directly through the cave entrance to the Extreme Cold Hell.

This is how the strong escape: they don't take the usual path, they actively forge their own way.

This also makes things easier for a large number of people. For strong individuals, Geppo and the Marine Six Styles are not difficult. If their physical strength is sufficient and they know the techniques of the Marine Six Styles, they can learn them easily.

The difficulty of mastering the Marine Six Styles lies in its ability to make one stronger and gain superhuman strength through training.

What followed was a free-for-all, with everyone displaying their unique abilities. With another path available, most people chose to take the new route pioneered by Bondy a.

Some used Geppo, others used their abilities; like Xi, who flew directly up.

Of course, the huge commotion caused by Bondy a's move successfully attracted the attention of Impel Down.

"Damn it!" Essel had already arrived in the Extreme Cold Hell, cursed upon hearing the commotion, clenching his fists tightly. He was currently on his way to the Infinite Hell.

Although he didn't know who made the commotion, he knew that the prisoners in Infinite Hell had escaped. Sensing the situation with his abilities, his expression turned even more grim. The worst had happened: almost all the prisoners in Infinite Hell had escaped.

Some of these people even fear him.

Although he was very confident in his strength and had the ability to make himself invincible, this was the biggest prison break in Impel Down's history, with the most vicious criminals from the entire Infinite Hell escaping.

"Damn it, don't let me find out who it is!" Essel gritted his teeth, his anger reaching its very core at the instigator.

Then he changed direction and ran directly in the direction from which the commotion had occurred. Since the criminals of Infinite Hell had all escaped, there was no point in him entering Infinite Hell.

His ability allows him to clearly sense groups of criminals and know their locations. He has a mental map that shows him exactly where these criminals are, making it impossible for them to hide.

While criminals escaped from the Infinite Hell one by one, Teach remained standing, waiting for Rediat, who had not yet emerged.

The commotion seemed to have no effect on them; Rediat stood in front of Redfield, their eyes meeting.

Deep within his pupils gleamed a strange, dark purple light, while Redfield's pupils glowed with a blood-red light.

They weren't speaking; they were communicating, a form of communication between father and son, both possessing the "mind-reading" ability of Observation Haki.

Language cannot express it clearly, and a short time is not enough; they both have things they want to know, and they want to obtain them directly from each other's memories.

They read each other's memories, but of course, this is something they are willing to let the other know. They have the ability to close their minds, thus preventing the other from reading them.

An invisible, even tangible, aura emanated from around them, causing the air and the ground to tremble.

This process was not smooth sailing. In this small, shadowy cage, two powerful bursts of Conqueror's Haki erupted simultaneously.

Despite the shadows covering them and the two's restraint on the range of Conqueror's Haki, Teach could still clearly sense it, while Nelson could faintly see the dark purple and red light emanating from him breaking through the shadows.

The same aloof and Conqueror's Haki divided the small space into two worlds. Rediat's world was dark purple, its powerful Haki carrying the oppressive might of a dragon.

Redfield, on the other hand, was not to be underestimated. He wore a slight smile, while behind him, the world had turned into a blood-red expanse.

The two are in a peculiar state, a peculiar Observation Haki that connects their minds.

Within the shared mental space between the two, a fierce battle was taking place. Rediat, who had transformed into a dragon, was locked in combat with Redfield. Although the battle was taking place in their minds, the intensity was palpable, resembling a life-or-death struggle.

Without a doubt, Rediat is at a disadvantage, while the manifested Redfield is maintaining his peak condition; his spirit has not yet aged.

This also made Rediat realize Redfield's strength—all-around strength: the Three Types of Haki, swordsmanship, physical skills, and combat experience. It was a complete suppression.

If someone surpasses you in only one aspect, you can still fight them. But if they surpass you in every aspect, the difference is not just a little bit; the accumulation of advantages will turn into an absolute advantage.

Redfield showed no mercy and launched a full-scale attack.

This is a battle of wits; at the same time, both are exchanging memories to obtain what they want.

Redfield gained access to some of Rediat's memories.

Rediat also gained access to Redfield's memories—what he wanted, Redfield's experiences, and what kind of person his father really was. Only in this way could he gain a clear understanding of Redfield.

Viewing the memories was like experiencing them firsthand. "The Lone Red," As a lone wolf, came and went without a trace, and news of him on the high seas was already scarce. These messages could only give Rediat a general impression.

After an unknown amount of time, the aura emanating from the two gradually disappeared, and the two who had been immersed in their spiritual state returned to reality.

Even after reviewing the memories, it takes time to process them, so I stood quietly for a while.

Finally, Rediat stood there, mouth agape, and said, "Father." Rediat had finally seen him, the man he had longed for for so long, standing before him, in front of Redfield, and uttered those two words.

"I really didn't expect this." Upon hearing these two words, the legendary figure, "The Lone Red," Patrick Redfield, felt a surge of excitement and emotion within his usually calm heart.

Standing before him was his bloodline; blood is thicker than water, and the attraction from that blood could not be ignored, even by his proud nature.

Even his heart wasn't made of iron.

He had never imagined such a thing. Before seeing Rediat, he would never have thought that someone like him would have a child.

This was undoubtedly a gift, which made him feel as if he had been transported back to twenty years ago.

His Observation Haki had long since reached a terrifying level. When the footage of the Battle of Exo Island was broadcast, he felt a premonition that Rediat would come to find him, when he uttered his name and took on the surname "Patrick".

Rediat thought to himself as he looked at Rediat, "Redfield What a good name."

"You'll go see your mother and brother, won't you?" Rediat asked, his gaze fixed on Redfield. Despite knowing Redfield's past, he still couldn't guess what Redfield was thinking.

"Hmm." Redfield said softly, nodding slightly. He had another son, Meinz, who was Rediat's twin brother, but the two looked different. Rediat looked more like him, while Meinz looked more like his mother, that woman, Isabella.

Even he, who already had the reputation of being "the Lone Red," could not escape that beautiful woman.

It was an absolutely wonderful memory in his life. Having seen through the ugliness of human nature, he only trusted himself and not others, but Isabella was his only exception.

He naturally wanted to see those two people in person. Rediat had already set sail, while Meinz had not; he remained in the Tiresfa Kingdom had now become its king.

Upon hearing Redfield's words, Rediat smiled. This was the answer he wanted. Although it was their first meeting, the memories they shared gave them some understanding of each other.

It wasn't as unfamiliar as I had imagined.

"Let's go then, we'll take you out," Rediat said with a smile, which was also their main objective for this trip.

Otherwise, why would they come to this dangerous place, Impel Down? It's very risky, not only for those in Impel Down, but also for the Marine Headquarters.

Despite their great confidence in their strength, this has truly offended the World Government. If they face a full-scale attack from the Marine Headquarters before entering the New World, they will be in serious trouble.

Once you enter the New World, the sky's the limit. Apart from a few intelligence personnel, the Navy and the World Government can't extend their reach too far into the depths of the New World.

The Sagh Ross Sea that Teach had his eye on was located in the southern and rear parts of the New World.

However, Redfield refused, shaking his head slightly, "No need, I'll leave here myself."

Redfield's words did not surprise Rediat. After reading his father's memories, he knew how arrogant Redfield was, distrusting others and believing only in himself, and that he could rival the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates single-handedly.

He was also the strongest person he had ever seen, a true powerhouse at the pinnacle of the ocean.

They released Redfield, which made him owe them, or rather, Teach, a favor.

If he needs the help of those two younger guys, Teach and his brother, to even leave this place, then he might as well give up.

Given his arrogance, he would never rely on Teach and his group's strength; that would be an insult to him.

Even in his Redfield state, Rediat doesn't have much confidence in defeating him.

It was precisely because he understood that he didn't stop it; the shadow gradually dissipated, returning to the shadow beneath his feet.

Redfield left the prison, the place where he had spent years.

He slowly walked forward, heading towards Teach.

Teach had already sensed it when the shadow disappeared, and he and Nelson were looking at Redfield and Rediat.

It seems they've finished talking.

Teach and his group were already on the road to Infinite Hell when they saw Redfield approaching. Nelson was a little wary, but he wisely took two steps back, flashed his figure, and used his ability to appear in the distance, giving them his place.

He wasn't qualified to be on the sidelines at this level of interaction.

Teach looked at Redfield without making any move. He didn't sense any hostile intent or any other targeting from Redfield. It wasn't a test; he just walked over normally.

Redfield slowly walked to Teach's side and stopped. Redfield was very strong; even after being imprisoned in Impel Down for five years, his combat power had not declined much.

In a short time, Redfield's pierced wrists and ankles had basically recovered and did not affect his movement or combat. This shows his powerful physique and recovery ability. Such a monster is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if Redfield lost the great battle with the Navy, it was because he lost his fighting ability due to exhaustion.

This is clearly the effect of Life Return, maintaining his powerful combat strength. Now, he only lacks physical strength, but as long as he has enough energy to replenish, he will be able to recover quickly.

With a wicked smile, Redfield couldn't help but say, "Rediat, thank you for taking care of me."

"Haha, Rediat doesn't need my help." Hearing Redfield's words, Teach grinned and laughed, not even looking at his powerful senior.

"Hehe." Redfield chuckled upon hearing this, then continued walking forward without lingering.

Some of the remaining prisoners, upon seeing Redfield, quickly made way for him, not daring to provoke this monster.

Upon reaching the bottom of the giant hole, without looking back, Teach and the others watched his retreating figure, then lightly leaped out of the Infinite Hell and arrived at the fifth level.
