White Dragon, Impel Down Needs Your Power!

My first day in Impel Down.

Kizaru was filled with anticipation for his upcoming paid vacation.

The second day after arriving in Impel Down.

Kizaru started missing the soba noodles personally cooked by Chef Kmakov, the winter cuisine chef at Marineford...

The third day in Impel Down.

Kizaru was utterly disgusted with this gloomy and terrifying Impel Down, which was also prone to thunder, and couldn't wait to return to headquarters to report for duty.

Impel Down, First Sea Level.

As Kizaru watched Whitebeard the Second. vanish into the sky as lightning struck, he appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

'I can't take it anymore... I've been working overtime for three days straight... If this keeps up, I'll die...'

Ignoring the admiring gazes of the Impel Down jailers, Kizaru teleported back to his temporary office, pulled out Den Den Mushi, and dialed Marine Headquarters.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! I wish to request to return to headquarters!"

"Borsalino? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Sengoku scoffed at Kizaru's request; he was definitely not seeking revenge for the time three days prior when Kizaru had hung up on him with his Den Den Mushi.

"Weren't you supposed to be seriously injured and need to recuperate at Impel Down for a while?"

"I'm really hurt!"

Kizaru offered an explanation, then spoke hastily.

"That Whitebeard the Second.! He's a complete madman! A total battle maniac!"

"Three days. Do you know how I've spent these past three days?"

"Impel Down, thunder in the morning, thunder in the afternoon, and thunder at night!"

"That madman, Whitebeard the Second, comes nine times in three days, never saying a word, just looking for a fight!"

"I just can't take it anymore!"

There was a time when Kizaru was also very proud of his [Glint-Glint Fruit] ability.

Speed is power.

Kizaru's [Glint-Glint Fruit] can solve 99% of his enemies on the sea.

As for the remaining small group of people...

Even if Kizaru is no match for him, he can still escape with ease thanks to the extreme speed of the [Glint-Glint Fruit].

No one can match the speed of the [Glint-Glint Fruit]!

That is, until Kizaru encountered Edward Teach, the Whitebeard the Second, who had eaten the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit].

This moment.

Kizaru finally understood how his former enemies viewed him.

Unable to win in battle, and unable to escape, they were helplessly manipulated by the enemy...

This feeling is absolutely disgusting!

To be honest.

Kizaru possesses the [Glint-Glint Fruit], and in terms of absolute speed, he is no less than the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit].

If he really wanted to leave, Whitebeard the Second. would have absolutely no chance of stopping him.

However, Kizaru is also tasked with protecting Impel Down.

Once he leaves Impel Down, the Impel Down will become Whitebeard the Second.'s "playground"!

So over the past three days.

Kizaru had to devote a great deal of energy every day to dealing with Whitebeard the Second.'s "challenge".

You need to know.

Some time ago, when Kizaru fought against Whitebeard the Second., he at least had one of the Gorosei by his side who could provide him with some support.

But now that they're in Impel Down, there's no one around who can "fly," so they can't offer Kizaru any help whatsoever.

They couldn't win, they couldn't drive them away, and they couldn't catch up with them.

Kizaru was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Tired, let's destroy it, just hurry up...

He was clearly just an ordinary office worker who got paid to do things.

How did it suddenly become a bloody and sweaty laborer for the World Government?

Kizaru didn't understand.

Therefore, he chose a strategic retreat.

"Whether it's Sakazuki or Kuzan."

In his desperation, Kizaru started calling out the names of his colleagues and even seniors, almost like he was calling out names.

"Or perhaps Zephyr, Vice Admiral Garp... or even Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you could come to Impel Down!"

"I really can't stand this godforsaken place anymore!"

Sengoku, listening to Kizaru's slightly agitated words, was curious about what Whitebeard the Second. had done to Kizaru...

You should know that in the past, even when the sky was falling, Kizaru always had that slow, slick, and lazy demeanor.

But Kizaru has only been in Impel Down for a few days, and he's already been tortured like this?

Whitebeard the Second. is quite capable, isn't he...?

Cough cough.

"Sakazuki and the others all have other tasks to handle."

Sengoku put aside his distracting thoughts and explained earnestly.

"Moreover, the Sea King riots around Impel Down in Borsalino have not ended yet, and warships cannot reach Impel Down at all."

"Furthermore, your opponent is Whitebeard the Second., a 'Lightning Person' who ate the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit]."

"Of all the people in the navy, only you can handle him!"

Sengoku's words were not just an excuse to Kizaru; they were his heartfelt opinion.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is indeed an "invincible" Devil Fruit.

Within the Navy, only Kizaru, who possesses the [Glint-Glint Fruit], can match Whitebeard the Second. in absolute speed.

Others, including the top-tier naval forces that Kizaru just mentioned.

Even if they do manage to Impel Down, it doesn't necessarily mean they can help Kizaru in his battle.

It's really difficult for outsiders to get involved in a battle between two "speedsters".

Just like last time.

Whitebeard the Second. single-handedly fought against Kizaru and Markus Saint Mars, yet he still managed to escape unscathed, didn't he?

Ultimately...

The enemy is pirates; they come and go as they please.

The navy has always been on the defensive.

Sengoku is now even somewhat relieved that three days ago, Kizaru didn't listen to him and went straight back to headquarters to report for duty, but instead stayed in Impel Down.

Otherwise.

If it weren't for Kizaru guarding Impel Down...

Who else in Impel Down can stand against Whitebeard the Second.?

We can't wait until after Golden Lion II "destroys" Impel Down.

Let Whitebeard the Second. "destroy" Impel Down again, shall we?

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I know what you said makes a lot of sense."

Kizaru sighed, no longer as emotional as before.

"But this can't go on forever, can it?"

"Am I supposed to stay in Impel Down and never return to Marine Headquarters?"

This is something I can't decide...

The Sengoku secretly harbored resentment.

That depends on when Whitebeard the Second. stops attacking Impel Down...

"Ahem, how about this..."

The Sengoku period put their minds to work and quickly came up with a strategy.

"I'll arrange for some men to go to Impel Down to help you."

"Arrange for help?"

Kizaru recalled Impel Down's unique location and the Sea King still causing unrest around it.

"The warships have no way to sail to Impel Down..."

"It's alright, if we can't get there by boat, we can find another way."

"Sengoku," he said earnestly.

"For example, find a helper who can fly."

Kizaru stroked his chin.

"Fly?"

"Moshi Moshi... Fleet Admiral Sengoku?!"

Storm must admit it.

He felt a little nervous when he received the Den Den Den Mushi) from the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters.

It's like a student who has just made a mistake suddenly bumping into the principal on patrol in the street...

It's tense yet exciting, and within that excitement comes a subtle sense of pleasure.

However.

When Storm heard Sengoku's request, he was stunned.

"What?! Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what do you want me to do?"

"Head to the Calm Belt, Impel Down! Support Borsalino!"

Sengoku held the Den Den Mushi and said in a deep voice.

He approached Storm because he had no other choice.

The Sea King near Impel Down are currently wreaking havoc.

Naval warships have no way to enter Impel Down.

Faced with an almost endless number of Sea King.

Even the strongest individuals cannot maintain this level of strength indefinitely.

Therefore, to support Impel Down, we must rely on another method—flying!

And.

I want to help Kizaru is currently struggling, rather than be a burden.

The person who possesses the ability to fly must also have a certain level of skill.

Otherwise.

Before any reinforcements can even get their hands on him, the opponent could very well be taken down in one fell swoop by Whitebeard the Second.

Possessing the ability to fly and considerable strength, they can reach Impel Down without Impel Down a serious threat...

With these conditions combined, the Sengoku didn't find it difficult to identify a suitable person.

Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, Blade Unit Member, Shichibukai, White Dragon Vongola Storm!

Yes.

Storm did indeed cause considerable "damage" to Impel Down in the past.

However, his "damage" to Impel Down was far less than that to Golden Lion II and Whitebeard the Second.

Storm only killed a few prisoners at most.

Golden Lion II. and Whitebeard the Second., however, wanted to destroy Impel Down!

The destructive power of the two is simply not on the same level!

From the perspective of the Sengoku.

Storm's past actions could at best be described as those of a "relatively radical" marine.

Send these marines to guard Impel Down and fight against the Great Pirate.

You can rest assured about the Sengoku.

However.

The Fleet Admiral was relieved.

Storm, however, was starting to lose his composure.

To be fair...

Kizaru's side fought for three days.

Storm also put in three days of hard work!

Over the past three days.

Using Kizaru as a Kizaru, Storm thoroughly digested the various abilities and attributes he had previously enhanced.

Having gone this far, he felt he could stop now.

Kizaru is really not an enemy that can be dealt with easily.

Over the past three days.

Kizaru is tired.

Storm is tired too.

He was still thinking about it.

Since Kizaru has been guarding Impel Down, even with Whitebeard the Second.'s strength, it would be difficult for him to completely defeat this Marine Headquarters Admiral who possesses the [Glint-Glint Fruit].

Then let's find another place to fight!

Although Storm's previously envisioned "three-stage Impel Down" plan could not proceed.

However, Impel Down isn't the only place on the high seas where Great Pirate roam.

Storm can also go elsewhere to continue his high-level Big Trophy hunting adventure.

The result was completely unexpected.

Storm hasn't had a chance to act yet.

Then came the Den Den Mushi) of the Sengoku...

And he was specifically invited to Impel Down...

Isn't that a coincidence?

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku..."

After a moment's thought, Storm said in a serious tone.

"You know, I actually really dislike Impel Down."

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku nodded in agreement, and then he added.

"But in recent days, Whitebeard the Second. has been constantly harassing Impel Down."

"Borsalino alone cannot completely drive away this Great Pirate."

"So, you're the only one I can think of..."

"Whitebeard the Second..."

Storm suppressed a laugh and said solemnly.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, that guy, is the Lightning Person who ate the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit], Great Pirate with a bounty of 2 billion Beli, even Admiral Kizaru was no match for him..."

"... Storm, what are you trying to say?"

"I can go to Impel Down to help out, but... I have one condition!"
