I Really Like It Here

Mosen kept a close eye on the prisoners the entire way, afraid they might suddenly attack.

But Mosen was clearly overthinking things. He had eliminated those two Pirate Brothers just a week ago. Those brothers were not weak, and Mosen's ability to kill them was enough to make the prisoners wary.

These Great Pirates with bounties over a hundred million weren't fools. They wouldn't rashly make a move until they figured out Mosen's background and actual strength!

Besides, the pirates themselves weren't united. Their goal was Mosen's cabin. If one of them got their hands on it, the others would inevitably try to snatch it away. It would be a loss far outweighing the gain if he killed Mosen only to have the key snatched by someone else.

And so, under the "escort" of the prisoners, Mosen left Extreme Cold Hell.

Upon emerging from Extreme Cold Hell, Mosen felt a blast of heat wash over him. The heat made him feel suffocated, as if his heart was beating slower.

"Huh? Mosen? Why are you up here?" a burly, square-faced man in an Impel Down Jailer uniform asked as he approached.

"Senior Argo, I ran out of food, so I came up to get some," Mosen replied with a smile, suppressing his discomfort.

"Ran out of food? Didn't you bring enough for two months? Wait! Mosen, you seem to have gotten a lot stronger! Did you resolve your physical issues?" Argo asked, pointing to his chest.

The fact that Mosen had undergone a secret experiment that made him immune to cold but damaged his body wasn't a secret in Impel Down.

Since Mosen was to be stationed alone in Extreme Cold Hell after arriving at Impel Down, and the climate there was extremely harsh, it seemed no different from sending him to his death in the eyes of ordinary Jailers.

Without a reasonable explanation, it might have caused dissatisfaction among some Jailers, making them feel Impel Down didn't value the lives of ordinary Jailers enough.

Impel Down itself was a place with extremely harsh conditions; even a small oversight could lead to an accident.

Therefore, after getting Mosen's consent, Vice Director Magellan had informed the Impel Down Jailers about some of Mosen's circumstances.

Argo was Mosen's guide after he arrived at Impel Down, and he had previously served as a Monster Jailer Chief responsible for feeding the prison wolves.

He was arguably the person Mosen had the best relationship with in Impel Down, and he understood some of Mosen's situation better than others.

(ps: The prison ranks in Impel Down, from highest to lowest, are: Director, Vice Director, Warden, Vice Warden, Jailer Chief, Monster Jailer Chief.

The Director is the highest-ranking official in charge of the entire Impel Down. The Warden is specifically responsible for guarding prisoners. The Jailer Chief is the commander of the five Jailer Beasts. The Monster Jailer Chief manages and commands the monster jailers.)

"Something like that! I don't know why, but after reaching Extreme Cold Hell, the burden on my heart felt much lighter, and my overall condition improved significantly. Naturally, I started eating more.

Senior Argo, my increased appetite won't cause any trouble for Impel Down, will it?" Mosen asked with a feigned look of concern.

"How could it! Impel Down isn't short on food. Just go and collect whatever you need," Argo said, patting Mosen on the shoulder.

"I see! Then I'm relieved."

"Oh, right, Mosen. You haven't been out for a month. Vice Director Magellan was a bit worried about you. Do you want to go and report the situation to him?"

Hearing that Magellan was worried about him, Mosen was quite surprised. Did Magellan actually remember an insignificant nobody like him?

Mosen's understanding of Magellan was limited to the descriptions in the original work.

Mosen remembered that Magellan in the original work was a very responsible man. During the Summit War, when the Blackbeard Pirates escaped from Impel Down, Magellan was severely injured while trying to stop them.

While Magellan was recovering, he repeatedly felt guilty and wanted to commit suicide, but he was fortunately dissuaded by people sent by Sengoku, thus preventing his suicide.

After his injuries healed, Magellan even volunteered to be demoted from Director of Impel Down to Vice Director as a form of self-punishment.

Could a man who, apart from his duties, spent most of his time in the restroom, also have time to care about his subordinates?

Thinking this, Mosen said to Argo, "Senior Argo, thank you for the reminder. I'll go see the Vice Director now."

"At this hour, the Vice Director is likely not in the restroom but handling official business. It's a good time for you to go."

Mosen nodded and headed towards Magellan's office.

The entire level of Scorching Hell had a very high temperature. The level was shaped somewhat like a giant iron pot, filled with boiling blood pools and seas of fire.

Mosen had worked in fire safety in his previous life, and in this life, he had undergone modifications with the Frozen Lineage Factor, making him extremely averse to high-temperature environments.

After walking a few steps in Scorching Hell, Mosen's discomfort grew more severe.

Helpless, Mosen could only secretly mobilize the power of his Frozen Lineage Factor, wrapping his body in cold air, which finally made him feel a bit more comfortable.

A few minutes later, Mosen arrived at Magellan's office. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. A voice from inside said, "Come in."

Upon hearing this, Mosen pushed the door open and entered. Magellan, who was handling official business, looked up at Mosen and then froze.

"You... you're Mosen?" Magellan asked, scratching his head.

"It's me."

"You've changed quite a bit this month! I almost didn't recognize you. I was initially worried you wouldn't be able to adapt to the environment of Extreme Cold Hell, but it seems I was overthinking it," Magellan said, putting down his pen.

"Perhaps it's because I underwent the Frozen Lineage Factor modification! I felt very comfortable after going to Extreme Cold Hell.

Being in Extreme Cold Hell felt like coming home. The prisoners there are all talented individuals, and they speak so nicely. I really like it there."

"R-really? Mosen, don't be easily swayed by the sweet talk of those prisoners. They are Great Pirates with bounties over a hundred million; they are heinous criminals," Magellan said, momentarily stunned.

"Yes, I understand! Thank you for your concern, Vice Director."

"No need to be so formal, Mosen. Briefly tell me about the situation in Extreme Cold Hell over the past month!"

Mosen nodded and began recounting his experiences over the past month.

Mosen told Magellan everything except the awakening of his Lineage Factor, including the deaths of the two prisoners. As for the cause of their deaths, Mosen claimed they tried to kill him to steal the key to his cabin, and he had cooperated with the prison wolves to kill them in self-defense.

"You did well. You can't be soft-hearted with these prisoners. If they make a move against you, you can counterattack freely. You must protect yourself, and killing them is acceptable.

However, don't abuse your authority and arbitrarily take lives. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand! Thank you for your guidance."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave now!" With that, Magellan returned to reading his documents.

Mosen bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
