Going to the Great Prison Is Like Going Home!
Golden Lion II leaped from the flying warship in the sky, the wind whipping up his robes like a golden roc spreading its wings.
Upon seeing this terrifying enemy descending from the sky, the jailers and marines on the First Sea Level of Impel Down instinctively raised their weapons—guns, cannons, and swords—and aimed them at Golden Lion II.
In this tense situation, Hannyabal, as the Chief Jailer of Impel Down, painfully issued his orders.
"Everyone, lay down your weapons! Stop making unnecessary sacrifices!"
The Chief Jailer was no match for the Golden Lion II.
Even the director couldn't withstand the tsunami attack from Golden Lion II.
In the entire Impel Down, no one else can defeat Golden Lion II!
If Hannyabal could still move, even if only his mouth could move, he would do everything in his power to tear off a piece of flesh from the Golden Lion II.
But unfortunately, he is completely unable to move.
Magellan, too, was completely unable to resist due to the seawater.
If these ordinary prison guards and marines were allowed to resist Golden Lion II...
For these ordinary soldiers, death was the only outcome.
Hannyabal absolutely did not want to see the prisoners of Impel Down escape to the outside world and continue to harm innocent civilians.
But the prison guards and marines of Impel Down were equally innocent, and he was equally unwilling to see the blood of these innocent people.
Under the command of the Chief Jailer, the ordinary soldiers, who were already terrified of Golden Lion II, laid down their weapons.
"I like enemies who are willing to cooperate."
Golden Lion II calmly walked to Hannyabal's side.
He raised his right hand and summoned another ball of seawater, enveloping the unconscious Magellan beside him, leaving only the Lord Warden's head visible.
Magellan's body was largely submerged in seawater, so even if he awoke, he would have no power to resist.
Golden Lion II simultaneously controlled the steel serpent and the seawater prison, taking Hannyabal and Magellan with him respectively, and openly walked towards the gates of Impel Down.
"Could you answer my question for the Lord Warden, Hannyabal?"
Under the watchful eyes of all the Impel Down jailers, Golden Lion II asked with composure and grace.
"Is the Okama King still alive?"
"I have no idea!"
Hannyabal wanted to spit on the Golden Lion II, but he only thought about it for a moment before giving up the idea.
"The Okama King might already be dead!"
"Dead?"
Golden Lion II paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.
"Forget it, let's just go check out the Level 5.5!"
Level 5.5?
Hannyabal stared blankly at the Golden Lion II.
He had worked in Impel Down for so many years and had never known that Impel Down had a "Level 5.5".
"You... have you come to the wrong place?"
Hannyabal mustered his courage and spoke to the Golden Lion II.
"My Impel Down doesn't have Level 5.5."
That's simply because you haven't discovered it.
"That's what the Golden Lion II said casually."
"Impel Down contains countless 'secret passages,' all leading to one destination— the Level 5.5."
During their conversation, Golden Lion II had already taken Hannyabal and Magellan to the elevator lobby on the First Sea Level, and then took the elevator directly to the fifth floor Extreme Cold Hell.
The Golden Lion II spoke with such sincerity that Hannyabal couldn't immediately tell whether he was telling the truth or not.
The moment you enter this Extreme Cold Hell, a wave of cold air hits you.
A sharp red glint flashed in the eyes of the Golden Lion II.
Meanwhile, Magellan, completely submerged in seawater, awoke amidst the biting cold.
He opened his eyes, looked around, and instantly realized where he was.
"Extreme Cold Hell..."
Magellan was completely enveloped in seawater, seemingly too weak to even speak, and appeared extremely frail.
"They've actually managed to infiltrate this place..."
Hannyabal looked at Magellan, who had just woken up, and was about to say something.
The Golden Lion II was standing nearby, also noticed the Lord Warden had awakened.
"I'm sorry, Magellan, your power is too dangerous..."
Before Magellan and Hannyabal could react, Golden Lion II moved the mass of seawater slightly, once again immersing Magellan completely in the water.
"Gurgle gurgle--"
Magellan expelled puffs of bubbles.
Then he choked on seawater again, suffocated, and lost consciousness.
In an instant, another six-star Big Trophy jumped out of the void.
[Diamond Trophy: Magellan]
Hannyabal looked at Magellan, who had lost consciousness again, and a feeling of shared sorrow suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Magellan, don't die now... I'm still waiting to take back Impel Down from you..."
"Arrive."
The words of the Golden Lion II immediately caught Hannyabal's attention.
Only then did he suddenly realize that the surrounding temperature seemed to have warmed up.
This is no longer Extreme Cold Hell.
It is actually a secret passage leading from the Extreme Cold Hell to the Newkama Land on the Level 5.5.
"You're not needed for the rest of the journey."
Golden Lion II threw Hannyabal into a corner of the secret passage.
Without waiting for the other person to speak.
The Golden Lion II then controlled the giant steel serpent, gagging the Lord Chief Jailer's mouth as well, silencing his ability to speak.
Immediately afterwards, the unconscious Magellan was thrown next to Hannyabal.
The Golden Lion II floated gracefully towards the end of the secret passage.
Hannyabal glanced at the unconscious Magellan beside him, then at the retreating figure of the Golden Lion II disappearing into the darkness, and several big question marks appeared above his head.
No, this Golden Lion isn't going to kill me, is it?
Huh?
Hannyabal suddenly paused, taken aback.
Why did he say "again"?
The Golden Lion II continued flying forward and arrived at the Newkama Land without any problems.
His Observation Haki had already been activated when he entered the Extreme Cold Hell.
At that time, he sensed the presence of the Okama King.
This guy wasn't "dead" as Hannyabal claimed; he's alive and well!
It seems the Okama King is quite capable of saving her life...
Newkama Land.
Emporio Ivankov, the Okama King, received a report from his subordinates that a mysterious and powerful figure had broken into Impel Down from the outside, and the Surveillance Room had taken notice of his movements.
"He defeated Magellan so easily... What a terrifying man!"
As he looked at the still-warm, freshly printed photograph in his hand, Ivankov, the Okama King, gazed at the entrance to the Newkama Land.
"This man looks like the Golden Lion... and also like the guy at the gate..."
"At the door!?"
Ivankov, the Okama King, was startled and looked up again, staring incredulously at the Golden Lion II.
Without any warning or worry.
This guy just suddenly appeared at the Newkama Land!?
Why do you look like a ghost!?
Ivankov's mouth gaped open, his tongue lolled out, and his eyes bulged out.
"Golden Lion!!!"
"Ivankov, the Okama King?"
The Golden Lion II looked at the shocked Okama King, chuckled inwardly, and greeted him with a serious expression.
"I'm Teach's friend, I've come to pick you up."
"T- Teach?"
Ivankov stammered, showing none of the demeanor of a king.
"Which Teach are you talking about? Is it Edward Teach, the Edward Whitebeard the Second?"
The only "Teach" Ivankov knew was "Whitebeard Teach," whom he had briefly met a few days ago at the Newkama Land.
When that bastard Storm caused chaos in Storm Impel Down, Ivankov didn't see Edward Teach and thought something had happened to him.
Just in the last two days, Ivankov received an old newspaper with a wanted poster for "Edward Teach" attached.
When they first met, the other person was just an unknown nobody.
The second time they saw each other, the other person had become a super Great Pirate with a bounty approaching 2 billion Beli...
The only thing that puzzled Ivankov was that the newspapers referred to Edward Teach as "Whitebeard the Second" instead of "Whitebeard the Third" as he had previously known.
However, this minor issue was quickly dismissed by Ivankov due to the 2 billion Beli bounty.
Who cares about "incarnations" or not, they're all Whitebeard anyway!!!
But Ivankov never expected this.
He had only seen the news about Teach a few days earlier when one of Teach's friends arrived in Impel Down...
And Edward Teach's friend looks just like a young Golden Lion Shiki...
"Yes, Edward Teach."
Golden Lion II introduced himself.
"I am Rhein."
"Teach's abilities aren't suited to taking you out, so I came."
Ivankov didn't know much about the Golden Lion II's abilities, but based on the information just relayed back by the other transvestites...
This younger version of "Golden Lion" seems to have mastered the [Float-Float Fruit] ability that only the real Golden Lion possesses...
This ability is indeed quite suitable for escaping from prison...
Yeah, right!
"Why did you come to Impel Down? Was it Teach's idea?"
Ivankov scratched his large face in frustration, his sharp nails leaving bloody scratches on his skin.
"I just can't figure it out! My brain and face are practically crawling off from all this scratching—or so I say!"
Ivankov grabbed his tattered face, pulled it off, and the man returned to his original appearance.
Golden Lion II watched Ivankov's acrobatic performance with complete indifference, and even felt a little amused.
"No, I just heard from Teach that you helped him with a small favor once."
Golden Lion II offered a simple explanation.
"I'm coming to Impel Down to find some prisoners, so I might as well take you with me!"
Those words sound so familiar...
Ivankov blinked.
Didn't Teach previously say he wanted to "find a few prisoners" from Impel Down?
But was that "searching" for the criminal?
The entire Infinite Hell has almost been Storm that utterly insane jailer, Storm!
Now that Storm is gone, Teach is gone, and Rhein has arrived?
"Your goal is also the sixth level?"
"Of course--"
The Golden Lion II readily nodded in agreement.
"Infinite Hell!"
