Magellan is gradually becoming delirious; his injuries urgently require treatment, and so far he is just enduring it.

Suddenly, he felt a slight movement in his pocket. Magellan roused himself, his body trembling, enduring the pain, and moved his arm. He couldn't fall.

He took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket. The Den Den Mushi was already awake, seemingly having woken up, judging from its dazed look.

Magellan shakily turned on the Den Den Mushi.

The sound of "blu-blu" rang out.

"Hello, what's the matter?" A communicator asked hurriedly from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. He knew it was Den Den Mushi from Impel Down, and when he saw the Magellan —Den Den Mushi severely injured and on the verge of death—he knew something serious had happened.

Magellan was having trouble breathing. "Faster... faster..." Before he could finish, Magellan could no longer hold on and completely lost consciousness.

The communications officer, a naval officer, stared wide-eyed. Other naval officers nearby were also wide-eyed, unable to comprehend what had happened in Impel Down.

"Quickly, quickly inform the Sengoku Admiral! Something has happened at Impel Down!" the messenger cried out in panic.

"Hahaha, interesting. I didn't expect Teach to do something so big. This is the first time such a big change has happened since Impel Down was founded."

"Big News Morgans! Big News Morgans! I thought the only news lately was the epic battle between Big Mom and Kaido, but I never expected such explosive news."

Morgans laughed excitedly. On the table in front of him, a row of clear photographs were laid out. His body trembled with excitement.

The past few days have been the climax of the battle for supremacy in the New World, with the great war now in full swing.

Whether it's Ochoku or Silver Axe, it's a home-and-away battle, and they actually have a significant advantage on their own turf.

However, as expected, even though Big Mom and Kaido did not bring their entire force, they left a small portion behind to guard their territory.

In the great battle between the two sides, Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates had the upper hand, whether in terms of the strength of their executives or their captains.

The defeats of the Ochoku Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates served as stepping stones for Golden Lion and Whitebeard. The pirate crew's strength had already declined, and afterwards, they lost many affiliated pirate crews, as well as core members who left to join other pirate crews.

After all, people naturally strive for better things; who wants to follow a loser?

Kaido's Beast Army, its powerful executives, King the Conflagration, Gatling of Beasts, Laimer, and others have all demonstrated formidable strength.

Surprisingly, a group of powerful members, led by "Warhammer" Omon, a core member of the Silver Axe Pirates, defected to the Beasts Pirates. While this strengthened the Beasts Pirates, it dealt a significant blow to the morale of the Silver Axe Pirates.

The remaining officers of the Silver Axe Pirates are struggling to stay afloat.

With the addition of ferocious beasts, the beasts tamed by the Babarossa Kingdom have begun to show promise. Their deployment on the battlefield has been a sight to behold, and countless pirates have been devoured by these beasts.

Queen of Plague and "Ghost Fox" Krell remained at the Beasts Pirates' headquarters in the Babarossa Kingdom.

However, their influence extends deep into the battlefield.

Krell's strategy greatly increased the Beasts Pirates' chances of winning, and even before the battle was over, he had remotely controlled the Beasts Pirates to take over the Silver Axe Pirates' territory.

Queen of Plague's poison gas weapons were devastating on the battlefield, leaving many pirates unable to withstand them or even defend against them.

The Homie army of the Big Mom Pirates consists of powerful Homie, each like Devil Fruit User, while the weaker ones supplement the Big Mom Pirates' forces, giving them a huge advantage in numbers.

Big Mom's children have already shown their talent, and most of them are Devil Fruit User. Although many are still young and have not yet fully developed, their combined strength with the Homie is enough to demonstrate considerable power.

The most outstanding is Katakuri, who possesses powerful top-tier Observation Haki that Future Sight, Conqueror's Haki, and Armament Haki that has reached the level of Ryou.

With the addition of two Homie, Katakuri's strength was greatly enhanced. Not only that, Katakuri also demonstrated the awakening power of his Paramecia Devil Fruit Awakening, the Mochi-Mochi Fruit Awakening.

The Big Mom Pirates' lack of high-level combat power put direct pressure on Katakuri. As a result, Katakuri single-handedly held off three veteran officers of the Ochoku Pirates, which relieved the pressure on the other members of the Big Mom Pirates.

The Awakening of Devil Fruit is an impromptu eruption, Awakening during battle. This was also the first time that the powerful force of Paramecia Devil Fruit Awakening was shown to the world, assimilating the surrounding environment and turning it into one's own domain.

Everyone is watching the live stream; the battle will end in just a few days, and the final outcome will depend on the leaders of both sides.

The duels between the four overlords began almost simultaneously. Just the day before yesterday, it was clear that Big Mom and Kaido had the upper hand, and this advantage was quite obvious.

Both Ochoku and Silver Axe, who shared the same fate, looked even more disheveled.

Big Mom's Iron Balloon body, her innate superhuman strength, and the combined power of three Homie are all combined.

Big Mom's hair was burning like flames, because her Prometheus Homie seemed to have merged with her hair—no, with her body—allowing Big Mom to unleash terrifying fire power.

Holding Napoleon and stepping on Zeus the Thundercloud, his posture was like that of a demon god, with Conqueror's Haki wrapped around his weapon and black and red Inazuma flashing continuously.

The terrifying power suppressed Ochoku, and it was precisely because of this that Big Mom had the confidence to challenge for the throne.

Without the corresponding strength, how could she dare to sit in this position?

The battle between Kaido and Silver Axe, the clash of weapons, the burst of black and red Inazuma that swirled around them, and the shockwaves from the collision caused the ground around them to crack.

The clashes, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, were so intense that even through the visuals, the battle was palpable, and the repeated clashes never felt tedious.

This is a world-class battle, and it will determine the future landscape of the New World and even the world order.

Many people have been watching the battle for days and nights without sleeping.

Kaido transformed into Human-Beast Form, his massive body covered in blue dragon scales, becoming a true monster.

These two top-tier battlefields, besides sharing the same destructive power, also featured the entire sky split in two, a truly awe-inspiring sight – a testament to world-class power.

The live streams were naturally separate, and many people bought two Transponder Snail) and placed them in front of them to watch both live streams at the same time.

A world-class battle, a fierce clash, even ordinary people could see some of it clearly; the immense destructive power made them excited, it was truly a visual feast.

Impel Down was breached, Magellan was on the verge of death, Essel was seriously injured and unconscious, Impel Down was damaged, vicious criminals left the Infinite Hell, and the ultimate culprit behind this incident Shiryu of the Rain, who defected and joined the Night Pirates.

The photographs clearly show the ultimate consequences of Teach and his men's invasion of Impel Down.

No one expected that, at the height of the New World and when everyone's attention was focused on the New World, such a major upheaval would occur in Impel Down, the world's largest Impel Down known as the "Bronze Walls and Iron Ramparts."

The impact it caused was no less than that of the emergence of two Sea Emperors.

Because among the criminals who escaped Impel Down, each one was a powerful figure who stirred up the seas, and even monsters erased by history, who were very likely to impact the order of the seas.

"The Immortal" Werewolf Mutu, Bondy a, Redfield, and other world-class powerhouses.

Most of the photos were taken in Impel Down. In order to obtain clearer information, Morgans even risked sending the Reporter Bird into Impel Down to get important material.

Even after Teach and the others left, Impel Down extremely dangerous, with gradually waking guards, criminals, and a terrible environment.

After taking a few photos, he quickly left because Morgans had received intelligence about the Marine Headquarters' operations and knew that the Marine Headquarters had been informed of the incident at Impel Down.

This is worthwhile. One can imagine that these powerful individuals are backed by chains of interests and established forces. However, after they were imprisoned in Impel Down, these chains of interests were broken, and their forces were either destroyed or absorbed.

When they return to the sea, they will inevitably take back what once belonged to them, and this will also affect the pattern of the world and the transformation of forces.

They thought the Night Pirates would be able to keep quiet for a while after arriving in Water Seven, but they quietly did something big.

Furthermore, Morgans was not mistaken; only three people invaded Impel Down: Teach, Rediat, and Nelson, and they even took Shiryu of the Rain with them after they left.

With Impel Down defecting, Morgans was speechless. He could already picture the expressions on the faces of the Navy and the World Government.

Thinking this, Morgans waved his hand and shouted, "Men, let's get ready to leave. We can't stay here any longer; we'll find somewhere else."

He stayed on this island for quite a while, and it's very likely that the World Government has already noticed. The World Government certainly doesn't want this matter to be exposed immediately; at the very least, they want to minimize the impact of this matter and delay its exposure for a while.

After all, with so many people escaping, this matter can't be covered up. They can hide it for as long as possible. During this time, the Navy and the World Government still have enough time to deal with it, prepare, and recapture these fugitives back to Impel Down.

Morgans wouldn't do that. This is Big News Morgans that needs to be shared immediately; it won't be as impactful if it's brought up later.

To avoid being approached by World Government spies, Morgans simply moved to another island; after all, there are plenty of nameless, remote islands in this world.

With a deafening roar, the spaceship-shaped hot air balloon took off, lifting Morgans' base into the air. It gradually ascended to an altitude of several thousand meters before heading off in one direction.

By the time the naval warships arrived at Impel Down, it was too late; everything had already been settled.

Borsalino arrived early, alone, as his speed was best suited for this situation.

Even Borsalino couldn't believe what had happened in Impel Down. The entire prisoner of Infinite Hell had escaped and succeeded! How could this have happened?

The warden and deputy warden of Impel Down, one seriously injured and unconscious, the other on the verge of death, it's hard to imagine what kind of battle they went through.

The gruesome bloody hole in Commissioner Essel's chest horrified him even more.

A few of the prison guards who had regained consciousness were somewhat bewildered, not knowing what had happened or why Impel Down their eyes.

It's difficult to learn the specific events or why these criminals escaped from the accounts of these prison guards.

Most of the prison guards were unconscious and unaware of what had happened. The remaining guards who were not unconscious suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the criminals.

However, Borsalino also learned that someone had released an extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki that enveloped the entire Impel Down. This caused most of the prison guards and prisoners to fall unconscious, and all the Den Den Mushi were also stunned and lost consciousness. This directly severed the connection between Impel Down and the Marine Headquarters, preventing the Marine Headquarters from knowing about the incident in Impel Down and from providing timely support.

The seriously injured and unconscious prison guards, Deputy Warden Magellan, and Warden Essel all need to be quickly transported back to Marine Headquarters by warship. Marine Headquarters has advanced medical equipment and technology; if they are not treated quickly, their lives may be in danger.

Moreover, we need to find out from them why this happened in Impel Down.

Analysis of the injuries revealed that Magellan was attacked by multiple people and sustained various wounds; it was incredibly fortunate that he survived.

As for Essel, he was found by the jailers on the edge of Impel Down Extreme Cold Hell by traces of battle. His chest was pierced, fortunately without damaging his heart, but his internal organs were displaced, which suggests that he had suffered another powerful blow, this time to his chest, close to Essel's heart. This was a fatal area, and it had caused a huge impact on Essel's heart as well.

Borsalino was aware of Essel's abilities. He had previously encountered Aises after capturing pirates and escorting them to Impel Down. He knew Essel's strength and was also aware of the loophole in the Link-Link Fruit.

Even so, he still suffered such severe injuries, and it was all caused by one person.

If he still possessed the ability, this would never have happened, and no trace of Seastone was found on Essel.

Therefore, Borsalino already had a guess: the person who fought Essel had a figure in his mind—only he possessed such an ability.

Furthermore, his specialty is Claw Strike.

Within Impel Down, there was another person who had vanished without a trace: Shiryu Chief Warden of the Shiryu of the Rain.

However, let Admiral Sengoku and the others worry about such matters; he's just a working-class guy.

Thinking of this, Borsalino took out Den Den Mushi and reported the situation at Impel Down, but did not reveal his guess. By the time Essel and Magellan woke up, they would know everything.
