Level Six: Come on in, Guests!
"Admiral Kizaru, will Whitebeard the Second. come today?"
Kizaru, who was idly gazing at the sky, glanced at Storm after hearing his words and then casually replied.
"It will come."
Kizaru had barely finished speaking.
Storm's next problem followed.
"Admiral Kizaru, can you defeat Whitebeard the Second.?"
In front of everyone, including the Shichibukai, Blade Unit Member, and junior Marines, Kizaru naturally couldn't show weakness.
"We will win."
Um?
Really? I don't believe it.
Storm blinked, and continued to ask in that curious tone.
"Admiral Kizaru, if you could defeat Whitebeard the Second., why did Fleet Admiral Sengoku send me?"
"..."
Kizaru, who had just been answering questions fluently, suddenly fell silent when faced with this question, and then looked up at the sky.
"Because... it was Fleet Admiral Sengoku who sent you~"
Why are you standing here, standing here?
Storm, mimicking Kizaru, lazily lay on the clay sofa, looking up at the sky Impel Down.
The vast blue sky was cloudless, and there wasn't even a single bird in sight.
Storm asked again.
"Admiral Kizaru, when will Whitebeard the Second. arrive?"
"Almost there!"
Kizaru was getting impatient. He had a feeling that Storm was deliberately trying to provoke him with his words.
"If you feel tired, you can go to the Impel Down at the back to rest."
"Okay!"
Storm stood up nimbly and immediately deactivated his [Clay Fruit] ability, causing the clay sofas to vanish instantly.
Kizaru, who had just been lazily lounging on the clay sofa, almost tripped and fell on his butt.
"I'm so sorry~"
Storm looked at Kizaru with a grin.
"Then I'll trouble Admiral Kizaru to stay here and keep watch. I'm going to rest now!"
Then, without waiting for Kizaru's response...
Storm walked confidently toward the gates of Impel Down at the rear.
Isn't it just Impel Down?
This place feels like home to Storm; he knows it like the back of his hand.
Kizaru stood alone on the ground First Sea Level, feeling a strange sense of unease.
"I am the Admiral... right?"
On the other side.
Storm walked openly into Impel Down.
He encountered many prison guards and marines working along the way.
Unlike prison high-ranking officials such as Magellan and Hannyabal.
These ordinary prison guards and marines were still somewhat afraid of Storm's arrival.
Although everyone knows that Storm was once the Jailer Chief of Impel Down and is relatively mild-mannered.
But no matter what, the other party almost wiped out the entire Infinite Hell, and is still the infamous Shichibukai.
"Big shots" like Magellan, Hannyabal, Sadie-chan. don't need to care about Storm's past.
These ordinary prison guards and sailors could not help but care about Storm's past and identity.
Not to mention.
This "Shichibukai" just knocked out Deputy Warden Shiryu of the Rain with a single punch!
The jailers and sailors did not treat Storm with enthusiasm; the phrase "keep their distance" would be the most apt description.
In comparison.
The group of Blue Gorilla who lined up and immediately lay down and stuck out their butts the moment they saw Storm were even more "enthusiastic" than the jailers.
However, Storm didn't pay much attention to the opinions of these ordinary prison guards.
He calmly walked past a large group of Blue Gorilla with their butts sticking out, strode towards the elevator lobby on the First Sea Level, and then took the elevator directly to the Warden's Office in the fourth floor of the Scorching Hell.
Storm accepted Sengoku's invitation to come to Impel Down to fight against the invasion of "Whitebeard the Second."
It's because the Sengoku agreed to one of his conditions!
It's now impossible for Whitebeard the Second. to continue invading Impel Down...
But Storm's "compensation" cannot be reduced by a single penny!
"Magellan! I'm here—cough!"
As soon as Storm pushed open the door to the Warden's Office, he saw plumes of purple toxic smoke floating in the air.
He instinctively took a few steps back, simultaneously activating his [Observation Haki].
"Magellan! What are you doing? Are you planning to create a 'biological disaster' in this Scorching Hell?"
A tall, imposing figure stepped out of the purple poisonous smoke and appeared before Storm.
It was Magellan.
"Well..."
As soon as Magellan saw Storm, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and another cloud of purple poison gas floated out of his mouth.
"I've truly failed in my duty as the warden of Impel Down..."
"Completely unable to protect Impel Down, and yet we still need your lawless and insane subordinate to come and provide support..."
"Well..."
In the end, Magellan couldn't help but sigh again.
It's obvious.
It was Magellan's constant sighing that caused the entire Warden's Office to be filled with smoke.
"To correct you, I am no longer your 'subordinate,' Lord Warden of Impel Down."
Storm held up his right hand and waved it in front of his nose to keep Magellan's poison gas away.
"Besides, since you feel so guilty, why don't you take some other remedial measures?"
"Staying in your office all the time and sighing, do you really think you can protect Impel Down just by sighing?"
In Storm's view, Magellan still possesses considerable strength.
In the unique environment of Impel Down, Magellan can pose a threat that is no less than that of Admiral.
However, Magellan's "weakness" was simply too fatal.
Because of the side effects of the [Venom-Venom Fruit], he has to spend a lot of time "detoxifying" every day.
This meant that Magellan could not unleash his full potential around the clock.
In the middle of a fight, I suddenly had a stomachache and felt like I needed to poop...
How can we fight like this?
Are we supposed to become "Splatooners," spraying venom while fighting?
In Storm's view, Magellan's fatal flaw ultimately stemmed from only one reason—
Magellan's understanding and mastery of the [Venom-Venom Fruit] was insufficient!
However.
What Storm thought of was completely different from what Magellan thought of.
"Storm, it's been a while, and you've become quite the sharp-tongued one..."
Magellan removed one of the demonic horns from his head and held it in his hand as if it were a dagger.
"But you're right, I do need to make amends for the serious mistakes I've made..."
"I have already applied to the government, and I will take full responsibility for this incident."
"I will commit seppuku to atone for my sins once everything has settled down!"
Should he commit seppuku as an apology?
Storm's lips twitched.
"Don't be ridiculous, Magellan! If you want to commit seppuku to atone for your sins, you might as well take poison and kill yourself!"
"Vongola Storm! You are absolutely wicked!"
Magellan sighed again and put the demon horns back on his head.
"Even Hannyabal never intended to poison me!"
"... I came to Impel Down, not to play these office games with you, Magellan!"
Storm skipped over the tedious topics of "seppuku" and "poisoning," and went straight to the point.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku must have told you, right? The 'conditions' for me coming to Impel Down to help!"
"As long as I remain in Impel Down, I have the right to execute prisoners!"
That's right!
Execution of prisoners!
These were the "conditions" that Storm presented to the Sengoku!
The reason he came to Impel Down was simply because there were enough prisoners, and they were strong enough.
Through these powerful prisoners, Storm can also hunt down enough high-level Big Trophy!
"Don't exaggerate, Storm."
Magellan's smile faded, and he calmly looked at Storm.
"Your conditions have already been told to me by Fleet Admiral Sengoku: you do not have the right to arbitrarily execute criminals!"
"If you guard Impel Down for one day, Impel Down will allow you to execute one prisoner."
"What a petty and narrow-minded man!"
Storm pursed his lips, emphasizing it deliberately.
"They are prisoners of Infinite Hell!"
"You're also very petty and calculating."
Magellan said in a deep voice.
"You want to go to the Infinite Hell right now?"
"Certainly."
"Storm answered crisply."
" With Admiral Kizaru currently stationed on the First Sea Level, I have plenty of free time."
Upon hearing this, Magellan's expression became somewhat strange.
You left the Admiral up there on guard duty while you came down to play?
Ah, this...
"Let's go, I'll go to Infinite Hell with you."
Magellan led the way to the elevator shaft of the Scorching Hell.
"Your every move in Infinite Hell must be under the surveillance of either me or Admiral Kizaru!"
Not long ago, Sengoku relayed Storm's "conditions" to Magellan.
After some deliberation, Magellan finally agreed.
Not to mention that Storm had nearly wiped out the entire Infinite Hell before.
The prisoners in the Infinite Hell, when locked up they waste air, and when dead they occupy land.
Magellan himself disliked the prisoners in the Infinite Hell.
However, this is due to the rules and regulations of the World Government.
As warden, Magellan could not easily lay a hand on prisoners—even though he had the power to execute them!
Now the Fleet Admiral has made a request.
Magellan readily agreed.
Not to mention.
The threat posed by Whitebeard the Second. was plain and simple.
To exchange the lives of some insignificant prisoners for the safety of Impel Down...
This deal was worth it!
Magellan and Storm rode together in the elevator to the Infinite Hell.
This was the first time Storm had arrived in Infinite Hell through "official channels".
It feels rather novel.
The sixth floor.
Magellan stood in the somewhat empty, Infinite Hell.
After being repeatedly tormented by Storm and the Golden Lion II, the prisoners held in the Infinite Hell were reduced to less than one-hundredth of their original number.
The remaining criminals in the Infinite Hell were completely unfamiliar with the novel duo of Magellan and Vongola Storm.
They knew the former, the warden of Impel Down.
They also knew the latter; Jailer Chief had almost overturned the entire Infinite Hell.
When did these two get together?
Didn't they say that the former Jailer Chief escaped Impel Down after committing heinous crimes?
Why is Vongola Storm back again?
Could it be...?
Was the previous massacre in the Infinite Hell actually staged by the guards of Impel Down themselves?
"Damn it! Magellan! Vongola Storm!"
"What exactly do you want?"
"Don't come any closer!"
A violent shout echoed within the Infinite Hell.
Storm and Magellan ignored these impotent rages.
Magellan looked around and asked casually.
Who is your target?
"Whatever, let's see which one is more annoying."
Storm glanced around and picked out the most conspicuous unlucky one.
"I've chosen you!"
"Colossal Battleship, the San Juan Wolf!"
Colossal Battleship San Juan Wolf, Devil Fruit User the Paramecia Inflate- Expansion Fruit.
The size of San Juan Wolf far exceeds that of ordinary giants, and even surpasses that of "Oars the Oars the Giant" from hundreds of years ago!
Magellan was watching from the sidelines.
Storm couldn't do anything underhanded.
For example, when executing prisoners, one could conveniently steal their Devil Fruit.
Fortunately, Storm had already obtained the Devil Fruit he most desired.
The criminals still living in the Infinite Hell possess Devil Fruit that Storm mostly disdains.
What about the [Expansion Fruit], [Sake Fruit], [Island-Island Fruit], [Merge Fruit]...?
The Devil Fruit have very high strength.
Storm cleared his mind of distractions, raised his right hand, and unleashed the power of the [Clay Fruit].
The land of Infinite Hell was instantly eroded and assimilated by the Awakening power of his Clay- Clay Fruit.
An endless stream of clay surged like waves towards the largest cage in the Infinite Hell.
San Juan Wolf, imprisoned in his cage, let out a deafening roar.
"Magellan! Vongola Storm! You can't kill me!"
Magellan listened to the roar of the Colossal Battleship, his expression remaining unchanged.
This is especially true for Storm.
He manipulated a giant wave of white clay, like the sea, which instantly engulfed the cage where San Juan Wolf was located.
Inside the cage, giant clay fists emerged, each one no smaller than San Juan Wolf's own fist.
"Clay Rain..."
With a thought, Storm unleashed a barrage of clay fists, raining down on the Colossal Battleship.
Bang bang bang--
A deafening roar instantly resounded within the Infinite Hell.
Along with it came the roar of San Juan Wolf.
"Ouch, that hurts! You clay imp!!!"
"You can't kill me!!"
Please...
"Spare me..."
As time goes by.
The howl of San Juan Wolf gradually faded away.
Every prisoner in the Infinite Hell witnessed the entire process of San Juan Wolf's forced execution, and a sense of shared sorrow arose in each of their hearts.
But Storm didn't care at all what these scumbags thought.
A blood-red, deathly Big Trophy leaped out of the void.
[Diamond Trophy: Colossal Battleship San Juan Wolf]
[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★]
