Buddha Sengoku? Demon Sengoku!

[Moonlight Trophy: Kizaru Borsalino]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★★] (Eight stars)

Storm gazed at the Big Trophy in the void, its surface radiating a moonlit white light, and his brow furrowed involuntarily.

"Kizaru... what on earth is he doing?"

Storm glanced at the Golden Lion II beside him, then at the Whitebeard the Second.

He knew that Whitebeard the Second.'s "Hundredfold Lightning Kick" was very powerful.

After all, it was actually Storm who kicked that ball...

But no matter what...

The fact that Storm kicked an Admiral so hard that he completely incapacitated him...

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

"Falling into the sea, being subdued by the water, and completely losing its fighting ability... that's barely plausible."

Storm considered things from Kizaru's perspective for a moment, but still couldn't reach a conclusion.

"But Kizaru is Devil Fruit User of the [Glint-Glint Fruit]!"

Storm didn't believe that Kizaru would have been completely defenseless in that situation.

Because of what happened in the Infinite Hell before.

Golden Lion II. also unleashed a "Hundredfold Swordsman Slash" at Kizaru.

But back then, even if Kizaru was sent flying backwards, he could still freely control his body and dodge in a flash of light...

After much deliberation, Storm could only come to one conclusion—

Kizaru doesn't want to fight him right now!

Is it really necessary?

Storm glanced at Whitebeard the Second, then at Golden Lion II.

"Aren't they just two ordinary rookie pirates?"

Storm shook his head, released his [Clay Fruit] ability, and put away the Clay Doll of Golden Lion II. and Whitebeard the Second.

He put Kizaru out of his mind and turned his gaze to the dreamlike and beautiful [Moonlight Trophy].

Eight-Star Big Trophy!

This is the first time Storm has won Big Trophy of this caliber.

Regardless of what Kizaru is thinking.

This Eight-Star Big Trophy now belongs to Storm!

And it will soon become part of his power!

The reason Storm chose to come to Impel Down.

It's because he's still thinking about the other Great Pirate from the Infinite Hell that he didn't have time to wipe out last time!

Consider the examples of Katerina Deppon, Basque Jote, and San Juan Wolf.

The Great Pirate that Storm failed to wipe out last time were at least six-star level!

However, considering his current strength, Storm set his sights on Patrick Redfield, the Lone Red, as soon as he entered Infinite Hell.

Storm's original plan was to deal with the Lone Red first, then the Devil's Descendant, and then clean up the other "minor monsters" in the Infinite Hell.

But what I didn't expect was that Kizaru would arrive so quickly this time!

When Storm last fought against the Gorosei, Markus Saint Mars.

Even Kizaru couldn't have saved the day this quickly.

This time, before Storm could even deal with Lone Red, Kizaru had already arrived at Infinite Hell.

Truly worthy of the name "Yellow Flash"!

But.

Storm still managed to hunt down a regular Big Trophy from Lone Red.

Although he didn't have time to deal with the Devil's Descendant, he still fought with Kizaru and won the Admiral's Eight-Star Big Trophy.

Rounding up or down.

Storm only lost out to a few "minor monsters"—that is, the relatively ordinary Great Pirate in the Infinite Hell.

Things like Avalon Pizarro, Big Barrel, Colossal Battleship...

A small loss is not a real loss.

"Oh, right, I also have another six-star Big Trophy here!"

Storm summoned a [Diamond Trophy], the grand Big Trophy he won after defeating Magellan twice.

His main abilities have all reached seven stars.

A six-star [Diamond Trophy] can only be upgraded to skill abilities such as [Rokushiki] and [Swordsmanship].

Without hesitation, Storm abandoned the idea.

He didn't have high requirements for Swordsmanship or the Rokushiki.

Six-star rating, that's enough.

"As expected, this Diamond Trophy is still meant for 'making a wish'!"

Storm made up his mind to use the six-star Big Trophy to make a wish.

A moment later.

Another brand new [Demon Ring - Imitation] appeared in Storm's palm.

Storm skillfully put on the [Demon Ring], while simultaneously reabsorbing the power of the [Nine-Tails Fox Fruit] that had been removed earlier into this [Demon Ring Imitation].

The Awakening -level [Nine-Tails Fox Fruit] has officially returned!

Storm raised his right hand, revealing five fingers adorned with numerous [Demon Ring].

Eight-Star [Clay Fruit]!

Six-star level [More-More Fruit], [Nine-Tails Fox Fruit], [Rumble-Rumble Fruit], [Float-Float Fruit]!

"Five [Demon Ring]!"

Storm flexed his fingers and then sensed the powers of the five completely different Devil Fruit in turn, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"But there's another hand..."

Storm raised his empty left hand and shook his head with a hint of regret.

Then, he summoned [Kizaru]'s Eight-Star Big Trophy.

Storm has already figured out how to use this Big Trophy.

"It must be added to the [Physique] attribute!"

Using the [Float-Float Fruit], Storm piloted several naval warships back to the Sky Garden, ten thousand meters above the ground.

Returning to the heavens with him was a large mass of seawater, as well as several Sea Kings from the Calm Belt Zone.

Sky Garden.

A vast expanse of seawater surrounds the entire island at its center, with Sea King constantly swimming in the water, adding a great deal of life to this somewhat desolate island.

Storm looked at the Sea King in the sea, and instantly drew his [Alcohol Iron Ore Katana]. He scaled and skinned the Sea King, and soon they were on the barbecue grill.

While Storm was enjoying the Sea King's roasted meat, he directly invested the [Moonlight Trophy] into his [Endurance] attribute.

[Endurance: ★★★★★★★★] (Eight stars)

Impel Down is such a great place, I'll definitely come back often!

Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's Office.

Sengoku looked at the hastily produced World Economic Journal newspaper in front of him, veins bulged on his forehead.

The World's Number One Great Prison collapsed! The culprit was...!

The contents of this breaking news report are truly shocking.

Judging from the pictures alone, the vast seawater almost completely submerged Impel Down.

This Impel Down, touted as the "World's Number One," seems to be truly turning into an "Impel Down."

"Morgans, you Big News Bird, what exactly are you reporting?!"

Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi) from the side, but not to contact the World Economic News Paper.

Instead, they decided to clarify the issue before the Gorosei called to scold them.

Impel Down, First Sea Level, former Jailer Chief's office.

Kizaru, his body wrapped in bandages, was leisurely enjoying the food prepared by the chefs of Impel Down.

Just then, a shrill telephone ring broke the tranquility of the office.

Bru bru...

Kizaru put down his chopsticks, glanced around, then raised his right hand and activated the black Den Den Mushi he wore on his right wrist.

"Moshi moshi~ Why is no one talking~ It's so strange~"

Kizaru casually fiddled with the black Den Den Mushi he wore on his wrist.

The black Den Den Mushi twisted its soft body a few times as he moved.

It's a wiretapping Den Den Mushi, not a regular Den Den Mushi, so it won't receive communication signals from other Den Den Mushi!

But Kizaru was still poking at the black Den Den Mushi intermittently.

In defiance of this boring human navy, the black Den Den Mushi strained its eyes to signal Kizaru—

In reality, the black Den Den Mushi used its antenna-like eyes to signal to the ordinary Den Den Mushi that was still ringing frantically on the other side.

Bru bru...

Kizaru waited listlessly for several minutes, but the Den Den Mushi kept ringing.

His gaze was forced to shift from the black Den Den Mushi to the communication Den Den Mushi on the other side.

Kizaru stared intently at the Den Den Mushi.

One second passed, two seconds passed... half a minute passed.

The Den Den Mushi's ringtone kept echoing in the office like a curse.

"Such terrifying perseverance..."

Kizaru grimaced and reluctantly answered the Den Den Mushi.

In an instant.

The question from the Fleet Admiral of Headquarters echoed continuously in the office.

"Borsalino! What have you been protecting?!"

The Den Den Mushi vividly portrayed the angry expression of the Sengoku period.

His eyes were wide open in anger, his nostrils flared, and he was breathing heavily and terrifyingly.

"An angry Fleet Admiral Sengoku is truly terrifying~"

Kizaru sighed, leaning back in his office chair with utter despair, his lifeless eyes staring blankly at the Den Den Mushi that was constantly transmitting.

"The news from the World Economic Journal has reached Marine Headquarters!"

"The government leadership must have already received news about Impel Down!"

"Didn't I send you to guard Impel Down? Has Impel Down really been destroyed?"

"What have you been protecting, Kizaru?! Speak up!!!"

Kizaru extended his right pinky finger, using the [Life Return] ability to make his nail grow a little longer.

He picked at his ear with his little finger and said absentmindedly.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, it feels like my ears are blocked~ I can't hear what people are saying~"

Borsalino--

Sengoku's blood boiled, his expression contorted, his face flushed red; the "Buddha Sengoku" was almost turning into the "Demon Sengoku."

What exactly is happening in Impel Down?

"Very good!"

Kizaru finally mustered his spirits and answered seriously.

"Aside from a group of 'Level 5.5' prisoners who successfully escaped, there were no other losses."

"Well, if we don't count the economic losses."

"Level 5.5? What's that?"

The Sengoku period was completely stunned.

"What's that? Doesn't Impel Down only have six levels?"

"Magellan and his team haven't figured out the situation yet either."

Kizaru explained calmly.

"It's probably a special space created by some prisoner using their abilities..."

"There are no prisoners inside now."

"Impel Down... What on earth are Magellan and the others doing?"

The Sengoku found it utterly absurd.

"A new floor was right there, and they just didn't notice?"

"I wouldn't know that~"

"Kizaru said."

"However, Magellan has already submitted an application to the government, stating that he is willing to take full responsibility for this incident and is willing to commit seppuku as an atonement."

Another seppuku...

Sengoku's eyelids twitched.

When Storm escaped last time, Magellan said he would commit seppuku.

This time, when the Golden Lion attacked, Magellan again declared he would commit seppuku.

Does this warden of Impel Down have some peculiar obsession with seppuku?

"Don't let him do anything foolish..."

The Sengoku offered a feeble attempt to dissuade him.

"I will explain to the government, after all, this enemy is different from the past..."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the story behind that Golden Lion?"

"Borsalino, why didn't you take him down?"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, do you even know who I'm facing?"

Kizaru finally lost his temper and said indignantly.

"Golden Lion II, Whitebeard the Second!"

"The two pirate Second Generation have joined forces."

"You want me to fight? How am I supposed to fight?!"
