Reform in Extreme Cold Hell

The dazzling blade light, mixed with chilling cold, struck the fists of two pirates head-on.

"Crack, crack, crack~" The cold air climbed up their arms like a persistent leech, then rapidly spread throughout their bodies.

The two pirates' faces changed drastically. They hadn't expected Mosen to know swordsmanship, let alone integrate his Devil Fruit abilities into it. This attack had almost rendered their bodies numb, making it impossible to even retreat.

Since retreating was no longer an option, the two decided to fight to the death. They concentrated their remaining Haki onto the arm that hadn't been frozen yet and then lunged at Mosen.

To their surprise, just as their attack was about to hit Mosen, he suddenly vanished from in front of them.

The next second, Mosen's voice sounded behind them: "Shigan: Ice Break."

"Crack~" With a crisp sound, their bodies cracked inch by inch and shattered into pieces, leaving only the arm that had just been covered in Armament Haki relatively intact.

After dealing with the two prisoners, Mosen released his Observation Haki to sense the situation of the others and let out a long sigh of relief.

The fight with these two had consumed a lot of Mosen's stamina. If two more prisoners had come, he wouldn't have been able to handle it.

Fortunately, the situation on the others' fronts was also going smoothly.

Mia was probably the most relaxed. She used her precognitive Observation Haki to toy with the two prisoners attacking her. Later, she even summoned Kaido directly from the wanted poster Mosen had given her and instantly killed them with one Thunder Bagua.

Ian also appeared to be handling things with ease. For the past two months, Ian's focus had been on developing his Devil Fruit abilities.

The Condense-Condense Fruit could solidify non-solid substances. Initially, Ian had only focused on liquids. Mosen had reminded him that non-solid substances included not only liquids but also gases, and even air was non-solid.

Upon hearing this, Ian had a sudden realization and began practicing the technique of solidifying air with his Devil Fruit ability.

In the recent battle, Ian had fully utilized the characteristics of the Condense-Condense Fruit. Every time the two prisoners tried to charge at Ian, he would solidify the air in front of them with his Devil Fruit ability, causing them to bounce back as if they had hit a wall.

They couldn't get close to Ian, but Ian could continuously attack them with a homemade slingshot. In a short while, Ian had dealt with these two.

Paddy had the easiest fight among the five. Although she faced three prisoners, when Mosen used his Observation Haki to sense them, these three prisoners had already been knocked unconscious by Paddy.

Now, the only one who hadn't dealt with his prisoners was Michael.

Mosen had the home-field advantage, Mia could summon a Great Pirate worth billions of Belly, Ian could kite his opponents with his Devil Fruit abilities, and Paddy was invincible in Extreme Cold Hell with her own strength. Only Michael had to rely on Swordsmanship and the Six Powers to fight.

Fortunately, Michael hadn't been idle during this time. He had learned the complete Six Powers from Mosen. If he had only known Shigan and Soru like before, he might have needed Paddy's help.

A moment later, Michael also dealt with the two invading pirates.

With this, all pirates with a Bounty of over 300 million Belly in Extreme Cold Hell had been eliminated.

"Mosen, what do we do next? Bury them all?" Ian asked.

Mosen thought for a moment and then used his Frozen Lineage Factor to freeze the remaining 9 prisoners into ice sculptures.

"Mosen, what are you doing?" Mia asked as she walked over.

"This time, I plan to reform Extreme Cold Hell."

"Reform? How?"

"Of course, it's to send those prisoners where they belong. If we let them wander around Extreme Cold Hell, situations like today will happen sooner or later. So, they must be locked up."

Mosen said this not on a whim. He remembered that in the original story, the prisoners in Impel Down were also kept in cells.

When Luffy caused a ruckus in Impel Down and was defeated by Magellan, Magellan threw Luffy into Extreme Cold Hell based on his Bounty at the time. Luffy was locked in a cell then.

But now, the prisoners in Extreme Cold Hell were running around freely.

So, Mosen guessed that the Impel Down had likely experienced some turmoil in the future, which changed the way prisoners were confined.

Now, Mosen intended to bring this change forward, which would also serve as a stepping stone for his departure from Extreme Cold Hell.

After all, he had solemnly promised Garp that he would resolve the hidden dangers of Extreme Cold Hell before leaving.

The next day, Mosen took the frozen bodies of the prisoners to Magellan's office.

Upon meeting Magellan, Mosen got straight to the point and explained what had happened last night.

After hearing Mosen's account, Magellan jumped up from his chair. He never expected that the prisoners in Extreme Cold Hell with Bounties over 300 million Belly would unite.

But soon, Magellan sensed something was wrong.

If these prisoners had truly united, how could Mosen have stopped them all by himself?

Mosen had long guessed that Magellan would have this question. He slowly spread his hands, and an ice blade appeared out of thin air in Mosen's hand.

Mosen knew that his awakening of the Frozen Lineage Factor couldn't be kept secret, especially after returning to Marine Headquarters. It would be even harder to hide.

So, Mosen decided to openly announce his awakening of the Frozen Lineage Factor, making it one of his bargaining chips for returning to Marine Headquarters.

Seeing this, Magellan's expression changed slightly. He quickly asked Mosen, "Didn't your Lineage Factor modification fail? How can you suddenly use the abilities of the Ice-Ice Fruit?"

"Ever since I came to Extreme Cold Hell, I've noticed my body getting better and better. You should have noticed this too.

I was very thin when I first arrived, but now I've become much stronger. I think the Frozen Lineage Factor has been gradually integrating with my body during this time.

About two months ago, shortly after Mr. Garp left, I suddenly felt like I could control the ice and snow in Extreme Cold Hell. At that moment, I realized that my Frozen Lineage Factor must have awakened.

Because of the existence of the Frozen Lineage Factor, the icy environment of Extreme Cold Hell is like my home ground. Last night, when the prisoners attacked, I relied on the power of the Frozen Lineage Factor to resist them."

After listening to Mosen's words, Magellan frowned. He felt that even if Mosen had awakened the Frozen Lineage Factor, it would be difficult to resist the combined efforts of so many prisoners with Bounties over 300 million Belly. Mosen must have hidden something.

Just as Magellan was about to ask further, he suddenly saw traces of Shigan on a corpse. And Mosen had just mentioned Garp. Magellan suddenly understood.
