Impel Down: Breached

However, what Essel didn't know was how much pressure his actions put on Magellan.

He wanted to use this method to improve his strength, defeat Teach in a short time, and exhaust the criminals' stamina.

This also weakens their strength.

However, this approach backfired.

The rapid depletion of their stamina was noticed by all the still-active criminals, who secretly realized the danger.

I had originally planned to conserve my energy to deal with any unexpected situations.

But now, they could no longer hide. It seemed that Essel was draining their strength, so they had to finish the fight quickly and escape from Impel Down as soon as possible.

On the first floor, the criminals, aware of their own condition, exchanged glances and nodded slightly, sharing a tacit understanding.

Magellan blocked the exit gate, and the standoff began. In a short time, one criminal after another made their move, using all their hidden strengths, methods, and Devil Fruit abilities.

While the Venom-Venom Fruit's power is formidable, these criminals are no pushovers either.

Magellan was already struggling against so many powerful opponents, and with their relentless attacks, he was starting to gasp for breath.

These criminals originally wanted to stall until Magellan was incapacitated, but they couldn't afford to delay any longer; they had to deal with Magellan first and escape.

Magellan's pressure increased dramatically. His entire body was covered in venom, and within a short period of time, several attacks landed on him.

Magellan's Armament Haki wasn't strong compared to these criminals, and that's precisely why he found it difficult to withstand such escalating pressure.

Magellan gritted his teeth, wondering why this sudden turn of events had occurred, and what kind of opponent Director Essel was facing, as no reinforcements had yet arrived.

He could feel the tremendous commotion of the battle below; Commissioner Essel was being held back.

"Come quick, Director!" Magellan cried out in his heart as a fist covered in Armament Haki slammed towards his head. He quickly dodged, simultaneously manipulating the flow of venom to rapidly attack the enemy in front of him.

Two fists can't fight four hands, and it wasn't just four hands. If he was even slightly distracted, several attacks would come his way, and he couldn't dodge any of them.

In his Human-Beast Form, Xi manipulated the power of the wind, slashing out wind blades from afar to blow away the poisonous gas he had created.

Otherwise, in such a confined space, the poison gas he produced would be enough to poison these prisoners, greatly reducing their fighting ability.

He had done his best; more than half of the criminals in the Infinite Hell had been poisoned by him, collapsed on the ground, and lost their ability to fight.

But now, given his physical condition, he can't hold on for much longer.

"I will not let any of you pass." Magellan was covered in blood, mixed with venom, making him look terrifying in his attire.

A powerful determination seemed to respond to him, and within his body, at this moment, it seemed to break through a bottleneck.

Magellan sensed that his abilities had become even stronger. He knew what was happening; the power of his Venom-Venom Fruit Awakening at that moment.

Unlike the previous purple venom, his venom now possesses a unique and terrifying power.

Venom enveloped the entire passage, turning Magellan's surroundings into what appeared to be an ocean of venom.

With the emergence of such potent venom, everyone felt a tremendous threat. Compared to the previous venom, this bright red venom was now deadly.

"Even if I kill you, it doesn't matter; I'll bear the consequences." Magellan, panting, stared at the criminals before him and said in a deep voice, "However, Impel Down will absolutely not allow a single criminal to escape."

Magellan originally adhered to the rules of Impel Down, so he had no intention of killing these prisoners in the Infinite Hell. Even prisoners who collapsed from poisoning would not be in immediate danger of death, as long as they received a specially made antidote.

But now, he didn't care anymore; he didn't care about the lives of the prisoners in the Infinite Hell.

Impel Down's reputation for being "unbreakable" cannot be ruined by them, nor can these vicious criminals be allowed to return to the sea to commit evil. Rather than that, it would be better to simply eliminate these criminals.

Unexpectedly, Magellan 'Devil Fruit power Awakening just as he was about to collapse.

Awakening Paramecia Devil Fruit is more difficult than Awakening Zoan, and it is also extremely powerful.

"He's really tenacious," one prisoner said, looking at Magellan with a serious expression.

"Everyone, take care of him quickly, then get out of here."

The remaining prisoners were all powerful figures from the Infinite Hell; those with weaker strength had already fallen.

Among the top talents are Bondy a and Werewolf Mutu.

Magellan poses a tremendous threat to them now. If they don't go all out after his Devil Fruit powers Awakening, they will all be defeated by Magellan.

The bright red venom gushing from Magellan's body coalesced into a 20-meter-tall skeletal giant. This potent poison, a product of his Awakening abilities, would infect any substance that came into contact with it, gradually spreading and corroding everything. Anyone who came into contact with the poison would gradually succumb to its effects until death.

There is no antidote for this poison; once poisoned, death is the only certainty.

On the ground, several prisoners who had already fallen were touched by the bright red venom. In the blink of an eye, the toxin spread throughout their bodies, and their bodies began to corrode. The prisoners who had fallen were awakened by the pain caused by the poison entering their bodies.

"Ah!" A painful scream followed, and soon after, he lost his life.

This terrifying poison sends chills down one's spine upon seeing it.

"Prepare to face hell, that is your destiny, a bunch of ocean scum!"

"Venom Demon - Judgment of Hell!"

Magellan was already considering a suicidal attack. He knew that venom and poison gas could spread, and if he used this move, all the criminals would be affected by the deadly poison.

The entire entrance is also highly poisonous, so he won't let anyone leave. He'll turn this only exit into a dead end, and it won't disappear as long as he's alive.

"Stop hiding your abilities. I know what you're capable of. If you don't use them, we'll all be stuck here." Even with Mutu's formidable strength, he had to be careful facing this attack. This final hurdle was practically a dead end.

Even if Mutu hasn't returned to his peak, he's almost there. For some reason, Mutu looks younger than before.

Mutu turned around and shouted to an elderly man in prison clothes behind him.

"I know, but in my current state, I can only restrain him for less than a second." The old man nodded and stepped forward. He had been imprisoned in the Infinite Hell for a long time, and if he didn't act now, he might not have another chance.

"Is this enough time?" Xi frowned. Magellan's abilities were so powerful that this short time seemed to have little effect.

"That's enough, someone else will step in," Bondy a said.

Hearing this, they felt relieved; there was someone else secretly ready to help.

Now, for the sake of freedom, they have nothing to fear.

The next moment, they all fired, "Momo Thirty-Fold Cannon!"

"Momo Fifty-Fold Speed!"

"Greedy Wolf's Grasp!"

"Hurricane Blade!"

Magellan was about to make his move in the face of these powerful attacks.

At that moment, the old man extended his hand towards Magellan, "Pause."

A beam of blue light shot out from the old man's palm, towards Magellan, and landed on Magellan.

With his incredible Devil Fruit powers, Magellan suddenly found himself unable to move. The flowing venom stopped flowing, and time seemed to stand still, but Magellan remained conscious.

This old man is Devil Fruit User, a rare time-related Devil Fruit ability. His ability is to stop other people's time, and it only takes effect when someone is exposed to the beam of light he emits, and even then, the effect is very short.

But this was overpowered enough; it was precisely because of this ability that he was imprisoned in Infinite Hell.

In that instant, a figure flashed past and appeared in front of Magellan. This person was Redfield, who was now close to his peak condition.

While the others were fighting, he ran to the Curry on the fourth floor to find food to restore his strength and condition.

Magellan couldn't react to such speed, but he was somewhat terrified. He saw that Redfield was holding a Seastone Handcuffs.

Redfield immediately put the Seastone Handcuffs on Magellan's hands, giving him a perfect opportunity during the brief moment of time stop, Magellan Redfield powerless to resist.

"No!" Magellan uttered a defiant voice as he recovered from the time stop.

Redfield's ghostly speed flashed before his eyes, and the next moment, he felt powerless, unable to use his Devil Fruit powers. The poisonous skeletons he had created collapsed instantly, losing their ability to sustain itself.

Some of the prisoners who had fallen to the ground had their poison disappear the moment Magellan was put in Seastone Handcuffs.

Magellan's eyes widened as the attacks rained down on him, Bondy a's giant cannonballs slamming into him head-on.

Completely defenseless, he was sent flying by the giant cannonball and slammed hard into the exit gate behind him.

The combined terrifying power of multiple people caused the entire door to collapse in an instant.

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes; it was too bright, the intense light almost blinding them.

They needed time to adjust to this long-lost light and the outside world. Although it was Calm Belt, they could still feel the breath of the sea.

With excited glints in their eyes, they came outside one by one. As for Magellan, facing the attack of so many powerful figures, his fate was now unknown. But the prisoners didn't care about him; what mattered more was freedom and leaving this place.

Outside, warships were anchored along the shore without any guards. The navy and prison guards had all fallen inside Impel Down.

"Let's go, the breath of freedom! Let's open the Gate of Justice first, then we can leave this place." Mutu smiled; he never imagined he would one day be able to escape this hellish place.

"We're free!"

Behind them, one prisoner after another followed them out. These prisoners, who had fallen, seemed unwilling to remain in Impel Down. After Magellan's poison wore off, they got up one by one.

There aren't many criminals in the Infinite Hell, only a little over two hundred. Apart from those who have already died, they all reached the first level while Essel was held back by Teach. But even these people combined constitute a force that shocked the world.

Meanwhile, the real battle had already begun below. Essel's attacks became even more ferocious, and with the help of his Devil Fruit powers, he launched a frenzied assault.

With its own invincibility, damage immunity, and full health and mana buffs, it's really hard to beat, especially considering Essel's current strength.

Teach also began to take it seriously. This was the battle he had been looking forward to. Without using his Devil Fruit, he used his Observation Haki to its fullest extent and covered it with Armament Haki. Teach dared not be careless.

The current Essel is Teach stronger than Teach in both speed and power.

However, Teach's Haki is much stronger, whether it's Armament Haki or Observation Haki.

Teach narrowly avoided Essel's punches, Teach some injuries but still managing to take several blows from Essel.

Observation Haki are not omnipotent, nor is the ability to Future Sight. The future is constantly changing, and some futures cannot be avoided even if one knew them in the past.

With a smile on his face, he knew that fighting such a powerful opponent required intense concentration, but he still had some understanding of the situation on the battlefield.

Magellan had already been defeated, which didn't surprise Teach. In fact, he was somewhat surprised that Magellan had managed to hold out for so long against so many powerful opponents.

In this way, the criminals he released from the Infinite Hell could be said to have successfully escaped, and most of them escaped.

What will they do next? Teach doesn't know, but he wants to see Essel's expression when he finds out.

Essel, who was completely focused on the battle, had not yet paid attention to the movements of the prisoners. He had used all his strength to defeat Teach, but in a short period of time, he had not achieved any significant results.

However, the suppression of Teach was very obvious.

"Director, have you forgotten something important?" Teach with a slight breath, looking at Essel with a smile, and took a few dozen meters back.

"Hmm?" Essel's expression changed upon hearing this. Seeing Teach's smile, he had a bad feeling.

Soon, his face turned gloomy and ugly, mostly shocked and incredulous. Time passed quickly, and he didn't even notice that his fight with Teach had lasted for two hours.

I sensed through my abilities those points of light that were gradually fading away, slowly leaving Impel Down.

What did this mean? He knew that Impel Down had been breached, the myth of its invincibility had been shattered, and these vicious criminals had escaped Impel Down and fled to the sea.

Magellan was defeated, so how is Magellan doing now? Essel was a little worried about this promising successor.

He now felt a pang of regret, wondering why he had focused his attention on Teach instead of directly supporting Magellan.
