With Storm Here, Impel Down Is at Peace!

A six-star Death Blood Diamond Trophy has been successfully acquired.

Storm quietly put away the [Diamond Trophy] and deactivated the [Clay Fruit] ability he had just unleashed.

Inside the enormous prison, a corpse, blasted beyond recognition by a giant clay fist, appeared before everyone in Infinite Hell.

"Dead... really dead..."

"That big oaf, San Juan Wolf, got beaten to death by this bastard..."

"Who will be the next victim?"

"Magellan! Why are you just standing by and watching! Aren't you the warden of Impel Down?"

"This bastard is abusing prisoners! He's slaughtering prisoners! Can't you see that? You lazy, diarrhea-ridden man!"

The prisoners remaining in the Infinite Hell were all once powerful beings who could command the winds and rains on the sea.

However, the pitiful state of the Sanjuan Wolf at this moment resonated with the vast majority of prisoners.

They were imprisoned in Infinite Hell; although there was no hope of escape, at least they could still live.

As the saying goes, it's better to live a wretched life than to die a glorious death.

The prisoners in the Infinite Hell can at least survive in their cells; that's better than being beaten to death!

Magellan completely ignored the prisoners' screams.

"Don't you care about these scum's insults? Magellan, you're the warden of Impel Down."

Storm looked at Magellan, striking a pose as if about to unleash his power, clumps of clay moving between his fingers.

"The honor and disgrace of Impel Down, the honor and disgrace of the World Government, rest entirely on your shoulders."

"Ignoring these scumbags is a disgrace to the Impel Down warden, or a serious dereliction of duty?"

"Magellan, look at these inherently evil scumbags! I'll personally—"

Before Storm could finish speaking, Magellan abruptly interrupted him.

"That's enough! Let's go now!"

Storm has killed San Juan Wolf.

His "daily allowance" has been used up.

Magellan forbade Storm from continuing to kill prisoners; that was a violation of the rules.

"You are too weak, Magellan."

Storm looked calmly at Magellan.

"These scumbags in the Infinite Hell should be completely and humanely exterminated."

"You don't intend to fight me, do you, Storm?"

Magellan unconsciously took a small step back, his brows furrowing deeply.

"I don't want to fight you right now!"

"Cut..."

Storm curled his lip, glanced at the situation inside Infinite Hell, and then turned and left.

There's plenty of time; there's no need to rush.

Magellan watched Storm turn and walk away, and without hesitation, immediately followed.

Regardless of his personal relationship with Storm.

The other party's current identity remains that of a "Shichibukai).

Magellan spared Storm from wearing the Seastone shackles, which was already out of consideration for their past camaraderie.

If other Shichibukai with Devil Fruit abilities were to come to Impel Down...

They had to wear Seastone shackles before they could move around the Impel Down, and they had to be accompanied (monitored) by prison personnel throughout their movements.

Magellan followed Storm for a while.

Unable to bear the abdominal pain any longer, he relinquished the task of "monitoring" to Hannyabal.

"Storm, what were you doing with Magellan just now?"

Hannyabal asked warily.

"You didn't get won over by him, did you?"

"Ah?"

Storm looked puzzled.

"Hannyabal, have you forgotten that I am now Shichibukai!"

"What use is Magellan trying to win me over?"

"Oh right, you're a pirate now..."

Hannyabal scratched his head, then gave what he thought was a secretive smile.

"Haha, that means I'll have one less competitor!"

"I'm going to be the warden of Impel Down!"

Storm shook his head and followed Hannyabal to his Chief Jailer's office.

In the Chief Jailer's office.

Hannyabal sat behind his desk.

Storm casually sculpted a clay sofa and lay down.

"Hey, Hannyabal, have you read the letter I wrote to you before?"

"You mean the letter the Momonga brought earlier?"

Hannyabal paused, opened his drawer, and took out a letter—the very letter Storm had mentioned.

"Well, although I still don't quite understand what 'boosting performance' means, those pirates you had the Navy send over before... there were definitely a lot of them!"

Previously, Storm had captured all the pirates on Banaro Island and Jaya Island, two pirate islands, and then had the Navy escort them to Impel Down.

Impel Down had already received this large group of pirates and assigned them to different factions based on their bounties.

From Warden Magellan down to Jailer Chief Sadie-chan, everyone knows that Storm is still diligently fighting pirates.

This is also the fundamental reason why the attitudes of the prison staff towards Storm haven't changed much...

If Storm really did become that kind of scum pirate who enjoys burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil deeds.

The first person to sever ties with Storm would be none other than the Chief Jailer of Impel Down.

Hannyabal!

Aside from his strong ambition and relatively weak abilities, Hannyabal is actually a very admirable man.

Storm and Hannyabal had a good relationship.

"So what if they send a lot of pirates? You don't need to deal with them yourself. Domino has always been doing the work for you. Don't think I don't know."

Storm lay on the clay sofa and casually started a conversation.

"By the way, has the 'Hell's Warm Water' in the First Sea Level turned into 'Hell's Warm Oil'? I didn't notice before."

"Absolutely not! You idiot!"

Hannyabal put Storm's letter in the drawer and looked at him helplessly.

"My Impel Down is for imprisoning prisoners, not for deep-frying them!"

"Can you please not be so aggressive, Storm?"

"Is this considered radical?"

Storm stared wide-eyed at Hannyabal.

"I only told you to use 'gentle oil,' not 'lava'!"

Magma...

Hannyabal's lips twitched violently a few times.

Using warm water will cause the prisoner's skin to peel off.

Using warm oil will cook a layer of meat on the prisoner;

Lava? The prisoner would die instantly!

Storm spent most of the day in the Chief Jailer's office.

Kizaru First Sea Level for most of the day.

Whitebeard the Second. never arrived.

"Storm, you really are a lucky charm!"

Hannyabal and Storm headed to the staff canteen on the First Sea Level, and he said with a grin.

"If you come, Whitebeard the Second. won't come anymore."

"..."

Storm almost couldn't respond to that remark.

He raised his right hand, released his power, and casually sculpted a palm-sized Clay Doll with a Whitebeard.

With its chubby face, round body, and a long porcelain naginata in its hand, its signature crescent-shaped mustache reveals its true identity—

This is not Edward Teach, but Edward Weevil.

Do you like Whitebeard?

Storm handed the clay figurine he was holding to Hannyabal was standing nearby.

"It's yours."

Who would like the biggest pirate captain?

Hannyabal took Edward Weevil's Clay Doll, pursed his lips, and slapped it flat with both hands.

"Besides, your Whitebeard doesn't look like Whitebeard at all."

"Sigh, if only I could defeat Whitebeard so easily..."

"Everyone should have dreams."

Storm snapped his fingers.

The white clay in Hannyabal's hand instantly came to life and changed its shape once more.

It had a pharaoh-like face, demon-like horns, and a huge pitchfork.

Chief Jailer Limited Edition Clay Doll!

Wow! That's amazing!

Hannyabal was immediately captivated by his Clay Doll, but he was still slightly dissatisfied.

"Storm, why is this 'me's' belly so big?"

Um...

Similar to Edward Weevil's Clay Doll.

Hannyabal's Clay Doll also retains his round little belly.

"Of course it's because you're not working hard enough!"

Storm glanced at Hannyabal's belly and said jokingly.

"I replicated this Clay Doll based on your appearance. Sometimes, you should look for the reasons within yourself."

Upon hearing this, Hannyabal immediately lowered his head, but could not see his toes.

"Sigh... it must be because work at the Impel Down is too busy. I have to sit in the office all the time and don't have time to exercise!"

"You can fool me with these words, but never fool yourself."

Storm stretched out his right hand and patted Hannyabal's round belly twice, as if bouncing a ball.

"Your physique looks fine now, but if it continues like this..."

"You'll look terrible the day you put on the chief's uniform."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Hannyabal, who hadn't paid much attention at first, suddenly panicked after hearing these words.

"Will it affect my authority as director?"

"Storm said seriously."

"It will definitely have an impact."

Hannyabal suddenly became melancholy.

We arrived at the prison canteen.

Hannyabal reluctantly took only 98% of his usual food portion.

Although it seems like a lot, it's at least a good start...

Cough.

Storm didn't know how much influence his words would have on Hannyabal, but he ate quite happily anyway.

It's been a long time since I've had the delicious food prepared by the chefs at the Impel Down.

It tastes familiar now.

While Storm was enjoying his meal.

Kizaru walked over carrying a huge bowl of miso ramen.

"Admiral Kizaru"

Storm leisurely beckoned to Kizaru.

"Aren't you going to stay up there?"

"Not needed for now."

Kizaru, carrying his bowl of noodles, walked over to the table where Storm and Hannyabal were sitting down.

"That's really strange~ Storm soon as you arrive, Whitebeard the Second. stops coming."

"That's why I just said, Storm is really lucky!"

Hannyabal chimed in from the side.

"With his arrival, Impel Down will be peaceful again!"

"... Um?"

Kizaru felt inexplicably uneasy after hearing Hannyabal's words.

He felt that Hannyabal was mocking him, the "World Government's top military force," but he couldn't find any evidence.

Kizaru forced a smile.

"That's really impressive!"

The other prison guards around the area instinctively avoided that dining table.

Storm also took this opportunity to chat with Kizaru for a few more minutes.

"Admiral Kizaru, besides me, will any other Shichibukai be coming?"

I haven't received any news yet.

Kizaru shook his head, slurped a mouthful of noodles, and said something that seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"But the other Shichibukai probably all have their own things to take care of, right?"

"... Um?"

Storm blinked when he heard this.

"Admiral Kizaru, did Fleet Admiral Sengoku send you to Impel Down because you had nothing better to do at headquarters?"

"No..."

Kizaru narrowed his eyes and answered seriously.

"Because I'm fast, I bear a heavier responsibility."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Storm slapped Hannyabal next to him and said with a grin.

"Admiral Kizaru, you can't be a boss like Hannyabal, who dumps everything on his subordinates and just slacks off, can you?"

"Hey! Storm! I'm not that kind of irresponsible boss!"

Hannyabal shrugged and shook off Storm's hand.

"Every penny the World Government gives me is earned through hard work, sweat, and effort!"

Kizaru glanced at Hannyabal with slight surprise.

We are kindred spirits!

As long as the salary is paid, everything else is negotiable.

Kizaru (in his own opinion) is also such a working-class person.

Just then...

Storm stopped with the small talk and asked directly.

"Admiral Kizaru, how many days are we going to stay here?"

"I don't know~"

Kizaru frowned and shook his head.

"This matter depends on what Whitebeard the Second. does."

"If Whitebeard the Second. doesn't come..."

Storm spoke as if he didn't know Edward Teach at all.

"Does that mean we have to stay in Impel Down and wait for him forever?"

"It shouldn't be that bad... right?"

Kizaru said uncertainly.

"Although Whitebeard the Second. didn't come today, who knows, he might come tomorrow?"

Kizaru's "prophecy" has undoubtedly failed.

Storm's first day of open and aboveboard return to Impel Down.

He hunted for the Blood Diamond Trophy on the [Colossal Battleship San Juan Wolf] in Infinite Hell.

The next day.

Successfully acquired the Blood Diamond Trophy for [Avalon Pizarro Apiro Pizarro].

Day three.

Another name has been added to the death list of Infinite Hell: [Big Barrel Basque Jotte].

Time flies.

Storm has been in Impel Down for a week.

Over the past week.

Storm eliminated seven Great Pirate in the Infinite Hell, earning seven Death Blood Diamond Trophy.

Whitebeard the Second is still on his way...

However, Whitebeard the Second. was delayed in arriving at Impel Down.

The seas surrounding Impel Down calmed down after the enemy's disappearance, and countless rampaging Sea King returned to their lairs.

That day.

A lone boat appeared on the sea surrounding Impel Down.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk makes his appearance.

Second update, 8k words, here it is!

There will be more tonight, around 9 pm.
