Lawrence

"Vice Admiral Garp, I will definitely keep a close eye on the Heir of the Devil!" Magellan, who wore decorated black bat wings on his back and looked like a demon, said earnestly to Garp in front of him.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm going back to headquarters too." Garp nodded, and Bullet was personally sent to the Infinite Hell on the sixth level of Impel Down, imprisoned in a cage at the deepest part.

The Impel Down mass breakout years ago saw a large number of criminals escape from Impel Down. Despite the Navy's efforts, only a small portion were captured, with the rest remaining at large.

Because the time was too short, after returning to the New World, the Golden Sea Battle began in just a few years, leaving the Marine Headquarters unable to spare any attention. Many criminals were hiding in the New World, and even if their whereabouts were found, it was difficult to take action.

Therefore, the fifth and sixth levels of Impel Down are relatively empty.

As for Impel Down, the World Government invested heavily in Impel Down defenses. The vast amounts of Seastone are more precious than gold, making it impossible for anyone to invade from the outside.

The warden of Impel Down is now Magellan. The previous warden, Essel, has completely retired. His abdomen was pierced by Teach, and he doesn't have the physique and regenerative abilities of Kong. Even after treatment, his combat strength and vitality have been greatly depleted.

He was barely holding on thanks to the power of the connecting fruit.

Magellan's strength was more than sufficient, and his loyalty was highly regarded by the World Government. In addition, Magellan was the only one who Impel Down, and with Essel's recommendation, it was only natural for Magellan to become the warden of Impel Down.

Garp turned and left, glancing at the man leaning against the wall before he did. The man was wearing a mink coat, a black eye patch over his right eye, and had a tuft of blue hair in his short blond hair. He had a cigar in his mouth and a nonchalant air about him, showing no sign of weakness in the face of Garp's gaze.

This is Isaac, the current Vice Warden of Impel Down. He was appointed to replenish and enhance Impel Down's fighting strength, since Impel Down had not only lost Essel but also Shiryu, greatly weakening its overall combat power.

Isaac also has another identity: he is the son of Essel, and he was recommended by Essel and the World Government.

However, Isaac doesn't love Impel Down as much as Essel does. He grew up in the Holy Land, was raised by the World Government, and is truly backed by the Celestial Dragons.

Possessing undeniable monstrous strength, powerful physical skills combined with technological prowess, similar to Germa's transformation device, their strength is fully qualified.

Isaac is actually serving the Celestial Dragons and the Celestial Dragons.

As far as Garp knew, some prisoners from Impel Down had mysteriously disappeared in recent years. As for where they went, they were all transported to the Holy Land Mary Geoise and became slaves of the Celestial Dragons.

The Celestial Dragons, through Isaac, wanted to turn Impel Down into their slave market, providing them with high-quality slaves.

This practice disgusted Garp, but the Navy couldn't interfere. Impel Down nominally on par with the Navy, belonging to an important institution of the World Government.

Although he was only the deputy warden, his actual status was higher than that of Warden Magellan, and in fact, no less. However, in the battle of Impel Down, he was definitely no match for Magellan.

Magellan can also suppress Isaac, preventing Isaac from messing around on the fifth and sixth levels, and even more so from getting involved with Isaac. This is the bottom line for both the Navy and Magellan, and the Gorosei will also prevent Isaac from acting recklessly.

Hannibal Lecter became the warden.

The position of Chief Warden was vacant, but the Vice Warden was a graduate of the Marine Elite Training Camp named Lawrence. Although he was not as good as Shiryu, his strength was sufficient.

To enhance his strength, the World Government specially provided him with a decent Devil Fruit, the Zoan-Zoan Fruit - Snow Wolf Form, a carnivorous fruit that allows him to adapt to the environment of the fifth level of the Extreme Cold Hell.

Lawrence has already reserved the position of Chief Warden of Impel Down.

This situation can be seen as the result of compromise among multiple parties, with checks and balances on each other, while also taking into account the interests of the Navy, the Celestial Dragons, and Impel Down.

The sixth level of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell.

A crisp footstep rang out, carrying a lantern in one hand, followed by a group of jailers carrying baskets of food.

Upon seeing them, the criminals in the Infinite Hell showed expressions of delight, not giving them the intimidating challenge they had expected.

To ensure these criminals didn't die, Impel Down had to provide them with food every so often.

This is when these vicious criminals are at their most amiable.

Even so, the jailers trembled with fear, wishing they could leave immediately.

"Let me deliver it myself," Lawrence said. A jailer nodded happily, while a Vice Warden considered their needs.

Because the one they were referring to was the "Heir of the Devil," who had only recently entered the deepest part of Infinite Hell.

Pick up a plate containing food; it has a lid to keep it warm.

He slowly walked to the cell where Douglas Bullet was being held, bent down, gently placed the plate on the ground, keeping a distance from the cell, and said to the figure in prison clothes inside, "From now on, I'll send you a newspaper every day."

Then, without doing anything, he stood up and quickly left.

Soon, after the food was delivered, all the jailers left, and after a while, someone would collect the plates.

In the darkness, a handcuffed hand reached out from the cage, picked up a plate, and opened the lid.

The steaming hot food was served in portions that were exceptionally large compared to the other criminals.

Others cannot see what is happening here because the distance is too great, the gap between them and Bullet is too large, and there are many empty cages in between.

Bullet paused slightly, noticing the obvious crossbones and three skulls on the food, the symbol of the Night Pirates.

This was the only thing Teach could do for Bullet: provide more food and befriend Bullet. It wouldn't hurt Teach, especially since Bullet had a chance to escape from Impel Down.

Moreover, by then, Teach was no longer afraid of Bullet and was confident that he had surpassed Bullet and was stronger than him.

Providing newspapers also allowed Bullet to stay informed about the outside world and pass the time.

Bullet realized that it Teach was helping him, which was something he hadn't expected. If that was the case, then the Vice Warden brought him food was a member of the Night Pirates.

Lawrence was a member of the same batch of members who entered the Marine Elite Training Camp as Novoya. However, unlike Novoya, he joined the Navy through the Four Seas program.

Although the navy lost the Four Seas and its Marine Base in the Four Seas were annexed by the Affiliated Nation, it does not mean that they have completely abandoned the West Blue. Many outstanding naval forces came from the Four Seas.

They united those members who still aspired to serve the navy and established large Marine Branch on islands in the four seas, specifically to recruit naval personnel from all over the world.

The navy cannot abandon the vast manpower resources of the four seas, and large Marine Branch do not interfere with the actions of Affiliated Nation, especially the maritime guards established in the West Blue, South Sea and East Sea, and even draw clear lines.

It also serves to combat and capture pirates; otherwise, pirates from all over the world would flood into the Grand Line in an endless stream, requiring a certain degree of restraint.

To be honest, this change surprised Teach. He had placed quite a few people in the Four Seas, but after the Navy established a large Marine Branch in the Four Seas, he immediately arranged for them to go to the Marine Branch and rejoin the Navy.

Given the shortage of naval manpower, they were quickly given important roles. They were handpicked and naturally stood out from the large number of marines.

Most of them went to the Marine Headquarters to study at the Naval Academy, and the outstanding ones went directly to the Marine Elite Training Camp to become students of Zephyr.

Teach's strategy is beginning to take effect.

Although he was imprisoned in Impel Down, Bullet never considered giving up. The reason he was defeated was simply because he was not strong enough. He wanted to become stronger, even if it was Impel Down.

Reflect on your defeat, identify your shortcomings, and explore ways to remedy them.

With Haki internal destruction techniques, greater strength, and greater power, it possesses an Awakening power capable of withstanding attacks from multiple sides.

Having learned from his failures, Bullet now has a goal: to become stronger.

This defeat will only make Bullet stronger.

One day, he will be able to break free from this dark cage.

After quickly finishing his food, Bullet began exercising in his cage.

Since the Night Pirates people Impel Down and even provided him with some assistance, it means that the Night Pirates are capable of releasing him from Impel Down, or even that he could break out of Impel Down.

Lawrence naturally had a way to get his hands on the key to unlock the cage; now, aside from his position Chief Warden, he had all the powers that came with it.

However, he still needs several years of experience to become the Chief Warden. At least his current strength is far inferior to that of the former Chief Warden Shiryu. Such strength is clearly insufficient and cannot gain the recognition of the Impel Down jailers.

After all, some of these jailers could fight against pirates with bounties of over 100 million, and Lawrence was a former Marine who became the Vice Warden in less than half a year after joining Impel Down.

There are many eyeing Lawrence's position, so Lawrence must improve his skills as soon as possible.

Providing Bullet with enough food was his own responsibility, and the newspaper matter was also Teach's order; Lawrence had also reported it to his superiors, so he had that right. As for the reason, it was naturally placed on Bullet.

"Thirteen years, I can wait that long," Lawrence with a soft laugh as he left.

Joining Impel Down was his own choice. The Night Pirates secretly communicated with him and gave him advice, but they didn't force him to join.

Even so, he still chose this path, feeling it was a waste that he had entered Impel Down, a bit of a waste of his talent.

Although he couldn't compare to Novoya, who graduated from the elite training camp in just two years, Lawrence only spent a little over three years. In the elite training camp, as long as one's strength reached a certain level, one could graduate at any time, and as long as one passed the assessment, one could obtain a very high military rank.

Lawrence was one of the best in the elite training camp, and his skill in physical combat earned him Zephyr's favor.

After all, given Lawrence's demonstrated talent, with continued effort, he has the potential to become a core member of the Navy, that is, Marine Vice Admiral.

However, Lawrence refused and stuck to her decision.

After entering the Marine Elite Training Camp, Lawrence keenly sensed that Novoya was from the same batch as him, and felt a sense of familiarity, which was enough.

On that island, Novoya was the most outstanding among them. Although she wore a mask, some things could not be changed. After spending time together, Lawrence became even more certain.

They also had some tacit understanding; he felt that Novoya knew him, but knowing her mission, they didn't communicate much.

Lawrence also has ambitions; he wants to gain the favor of the Night Pirates. These spies will leave the Navy one day, and they should still play a role when they leave.

With Novoya in the Marine Headquarters, Lawrence's goal wasn't to compete with Novoya, but rather to prove himself stronger. That's why he chose Impel Down.

Impel Down will definitely be an important part of the future; otherwise, the Night Pirates wouldn't have suggested he go Impel Down, and he could have made a name for himself in the world.

His choice was not wrong. Not long after arriving at Impel Down, he became a key part of the Impel Down. If he wanted, he could release these criminals, including the vicious criminals from the fifth and sixth levels.

Moreover, after he agreed to Impel Down, the Night Pirates immediately sent him a Devil Fruit, Zoan Bird-Bird Fruit in the White Eagle form.

A precious carnivorous flying ability, probably in the hope that he can use the ability to fly to escape from Impel Down safely in the future.

However, the World Government later bestowed upon him the Snow Wolf Fruit, Devil Fruit Lawrence also ate. Although he lost the ability to fly, it suited him even better, as the carnivorous snow wolf was a formidable beast.

That Bald Eagle Fruit was kept, and it could be used to train his own subordinates.

Thirteen years was the time the Night Pirates gave him after he entered Impel Down, giving him some peace of mind and preventing him from waiting in vain.

After all, waiting without any hope is extremely agonizing.

In other words, the Night Pirates will inevitably take action within thirteen years.

The world is a big stage, and everyone wants to shine on it.

Lawrence may be unknown now, but he will shine like the sun in the future.

The imprisonment of Douglas Bullet, the "Heir of the Devil," in Impel Down, while criticized for his methods, significantly boosted the prestige of the Navy and the World Government.

Many residents around the world also supported it, and most of them only looked at the results: the Navy and the World Government had eliminated a scourge, a vicious pirate.

However, people with a broader perspective can see that Barrett's arrest has no impact on the pattern of the new world, and the power of the pirates has not been weakened much.

Conversely, even with such a powerful force as the Navy and the World Government, the losses were still considerable.

This only highlighted the strength of the pirates, and many pirates even clamored to rescue Bullet from Impel Down. There were quite a few who acted on impulse, but they were all eventually arrested by the Navy.

Such an action can only happen once, and besides, if it weren't for CP0 members with their Seal-Seal Fruit abilities, Bullet might have already escaped.

This era still belongs to pirates; it will take the Navy several more years to return to the New World.

Over the past few years, the front part of the New World has also become a paradise for pirates.

Some, however, believe that Bullet cannot remain silent forever, and that Impel Down will inevitably be breached once and then again.

Once Bullet emerges from Impel Down, he will surely wreak havoc on the seas, and both the Navy and the World Government will pay a heavy price.

With Bullet's arrest and the stabilization of the New World order, although the New World remains incredibly chaotic, it is undoubtedly much more peaceful than before, with frequent major events occurring.

But the peace will soon be shattered.

In the Holy Land Mary Geoise, amidst the sounds of pursuit, a red-skinned Fish-Man with a dragon's hoof imprinted on his chest fled in panic, leaping from a height of ten thousand meters into the sea and disappearing into the darkness.
