"You're the one who's cut from the same cloth as that bastard Shiryu!"
Magellan heard that and immediately snapped back.
Among Impel Down's management...
Just look at Magellan, Hannyabal, and Domino. They were all such hardworking, honest employees!
On the other hand, Sadie-chan, Shiryu, and Storm were each crazier than the last!
No matter what, Magellan wouldn't let Storm escape from Infinite Hell!
"Storm, if you die in a little while, I'll personally preside over your funeral."
The deep purple poison covering Magellan's body suddenly changed color.
Unlike the purple poison he usually released,
the poison Magellan released now was a blinding crimson, like fresh blood!
"This... is my 'forbidden technique.'"
Behind Magellan, crimson poison gathered together, slowly taking the shape of an enormous humanoid creature.
"Using it might destroy all of Impel Down...
"This is—
"Poison Giant Soldier!"
As Magellan spoke the final word, the humanoid mass of poison behind him finally took shape.
A crimson body, batlike wings, terrifying horns, and a skull-like head...
The "Poison Giant Soldier" that now stood behind Magellan looked just like the red devil from the legends of hell!
The "Poison Giant Soldier" was far more poisonous than any of the other toxins Magellan released.
Even the ground of Infinite Hell couldn't withstand its fierce poison.
Where the "Poison Giant Soldier" touched the ground, a constant hissing sound rang out.
It was the sound of Infinite Hell's ground being corroded by poison!
That wasn't all.
The "Poison Giant Soldier" also had an extraordinarily frightening ability to spread its poison.
The crimson toxin could rapidly spread across the surface of anything it touched.
It could "infect" anything, even inanimate objects.
Even the stones of Infinite Hell fell within the "Poison Giant Soldier's" reach!
The crimson poison spread and devoured its surroundings at an unimaginable speed.
Inside the cell nearest to Magellan,
the prisoners who had already been killed by the "Clay Dragon Bullet"...
The instant their corpses touched the "Poison Giant Soldier," they turned bloodred.
Pale pink gas drifted from their bodies.
The terrifying poison vaporized the corpses outright!
Under Magellan's control, the "Poison Giant Soldier" swung its thick, elongated arm and slammed it down at Storm.
Faced with the crimson poison giant's attack, Storm finally looked serious.
He didn't hesitate any longer. He unleashed the power of [Devil Fruit Awakening]!
Starting from where Storm stood, the ground around him was instantly transformed into white clay.
"Flowing Clay!"
Storm controlled the clay-covered ground like a choppy wave, sending it surging up to meet the "Poison Giant Soldier's" strike.
Boom!
The "Poison Giant Soldier's" enormous palm slammed into the "Flowing Clay."
The terrifying poison left a deep, blood-red handprint in the white clay.
But even more astonishingly, the poison smeared across the handprint spread outward at an unimaginable speed.
In just a few breaths,
the top of the "Flowing Clay" Storm had just controlled had been completely stained red by the poison!
The "Poison Giant Soldier's" supertoxin showed no signs of slowing down.
Seeing this, Storm immediately abandoned that portion of the "poisoned clay."
Without a medium to spread through,
the rest of the clay finally stopped turning red.
Seeing is believing! The Poison Giant Soldier's poison is even more terrifying than I expected!
Storm regarded the "Poison Giant Soldier" with a grave expression.
Meanwhile, Magellan looked just as surprised by Storm.
"You're using your Devil Fruit's power to transform the natural environment around you."
A complicated emotion flashed through Magellan's eyes. There was shock, but even more regret.
"Storm, your [Clay Fruit] has awakened!"
There weren't many people in the entire sea who had developed their Devil Fruits to the awakened level!
Even in the mighty World Government,
there were pitifully few people with awakened Devil Fruit abilities.
In Magellan's eyes,
if Storm hadn't caused such a commotion today,
his strength could have taken Impel Down's security to another level!
But it was too late to say any of that now...
"It's only an Awakening."
Storm spoke coolly.
"Hasn't your [Venom-Venom Fruit] awakened too?"
Magellan's "Poison Giant Soldier" could also infect the natural environment around it!
With that level of mastery, who could claim Magellan's [Venom-Venom Fruit] hadn't awakened?!
Storm had no interest in discussing "Devil Fruit Awakening" with Magellan. He controlled the clay-covered ground once more.
Clay arms sprouted from the ground, each one strong enough to rival the "Poison Giant Soldier's" arms.
Under Storm's control,
the clay arms avoided the heavily poisoned ground and ignored the enormous "Poison Giant Soldier."
They went straight for Magellan!
To shoot the horse, shoot its rider first; to catch a bandit, capture its leader.
As long as he could take down Magellan, the Devil Fruit User, the "Poison Giant Soldier" would disappear along with him!
Magellan naturally noticed Storm's attack.
His response was simple: he merely took a small step back.
Magellan's entire body instantly merged into the "Poison Giant Soldier."
The "Poison Giant Soldier's" gigantic body became the best armor Magellan could have asked for.
The next moment,
the clay arms crashed into it, pounding heavily against the "Poison Giant Soldier's" body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
A ceaseless series of impacts rang through Infinite Hell.
Every blow from the clay fists made the "Poison Giant Soldier's" body ripple violently, spraying crimson poison in every direction.
At the same time, the clay fists that struck the "Poison Giant Soldier" were rapidly infected, turning a glaring red.
As time passed,
the "Poison Giant Soldier's" toxin penetrated deep inside the clay fists. The clay turned completely red, then rotted and melted away.
The crimson poison surged along the clay arms toward Storm.
Storm had no choice but to use the same trick again, severing his connection to the poisoned clay.
Clumps of rotten, red clay dropped to the ground like piles of stinking sludge, reeking horribly.
I have to spread the attack over a wider area!
A thought flashed through Storm's mind.
He expanded the power of the [Clay Fruit] further, completely transforming the open space in Infinite Hell into clay.
Under Storm's control, the clay-covered ground shot into the air, becoming a white wave that stretched from earth to sky.
"Giant Wave Clay!"
An endless surge of white clay swept toward Magellan and the "Poison Giant Soldier."
The "Poison Giant Soldier," enormous enough to rival a giant,
looked like a tiny red doll before the boundless "Giant Wave Clay."
In the blink of an eye,
the "Giant Wave Clay" crashed into the "Poison Giant Soldier."
The terrifying force sent the "Poison Giant Soldier" staggering backward, all the way out through the entrance to Infinite Hell.
Storm was about to chase after it.
But at that moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and he turned into white clay from head to toe.
It was just like watching him "fade" away.
To be precise,
that "Storm" had returned to his true form—
[Clay Clone]!
The real Storm emerged from one of the cells behind him.
At his side, Little White Dragon had a freshly produced Devil Fruit tucked in its belly—
[Name: More-More Fruit] [Star Rating: None] [Description: Paramecia Devil Fruit] [Effect: The user can multiply the strength, speed, size, weight, and other attributes of themselves or any object they touch.] [Review: Super-sized!]
The owner of this [More-More Fruit] was—
[Platinum Trophy: Byrnndi World] [Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★★]
"Byrnndi World's strength is a notch below Catarina Devon's."
Storm looked away from the [Big Trophy].
"But the [More-More Fruit] is absolutely no weaker than the [Nine-Tails Fox Fruit]!"
Hiss—hiss—
At the entrance to Infinite Hell,
the "Poison Giant Soldier" was furiously destroying the "Giant Wave Clay" blocking the door.
It probably wouldn't be long
before Magellan could get back into Infinite Hell.
To be honest,
Lord Warden had arrived even faster than Storm had expected.
But fortunately, he had already gotten both Devil Fruits he wanted most!
In that case...
"Time to run!"
Just as the "Poison Giant Soldier" stepped back into Infinite Hell,
Storm waved at Magellan, utterly at ease.
The next moment,
Storm became like a drop of water and sank straight into the clay ground beneath him.
Magellan charged over in three quick strides, but didn't even catch the tail of the clay man.
"Vongola Storm!!!"
Lord Warden's furious roar quickly faded behind him.
Storm sped up from Infinite Hell.
At Newkama Land, Ivankov, who had begun recovering, had already returned to the group of okama...
In Extreme Cold Hell, the ravenous Army Wolves were tearing into a lone prisoner...
In Scorching Hell, several muscular but dim-witted Prison Beasts were tirelessly beating up prisoners...
Hunger Hell...
Beast Hell...
Crimson Lotus Hell...
Storm raced through the levels of hell, unable to help thinking back over everything he had experienced in Impel Down.
At the end of hell,
light appeared.
The White Dragon spread its wings and soared.
Beyond the sea... lay freedom!
Set sail!
