Shiryu fabricated his checklist for tonight, drugging several Den Den Mushi and making it appear as if they were malfunctioning.
That would be more or less acceptable!
Anyway, Magellan is reporting for duty in Mary Geoise. Even if Hannibal, that good-for-nothing, discovers something, what could he possibly do to me?
Carrying his Great Grade Sword "Raiu" and smoking a cigar, Shiryu arrived at the fifth level, "Freezing Hell".
In the fifth layer of ice and snow, ordinary people cannot even open their eyes, further reducing the chance of being discovered.
If the sixth floor is a rare place to seek thrills, then the fifth floor is a place to relax both body and mind!
The only thing that Shiryu regretted was that if the prisoner was already frozen, it would be much harder to chop him down, and the prisoner's pain sensation would be dulled, so his screams would be less powerful.
The design concept of the fourth and fifth floors is actually very much in line with the purpose of Impel Down and defeating so Great Pirate.
Compared to the sixth level, prisoners on the fourth and fifth levels have many more opportunities to escape their small cells and come out into the outside world.
However, once they are released, they will not only face the pursuit of the Jailer Beast, but also a "hell" that is even hotter or colder than the prison cell!
This is how they break the will of the Great Pirate who are imprisoned.
If they manage to escape their cells but are too afraid to come out, it will be a huge blow to their will.
This not only facilitates subsequent management and imprisonment, but also increases the success rate of "recruiting" them.
Therefore, Shiryu's favorite thing to do was to search for the prisoners who were "playing hide-and-seek" outside on the fifth floor.
Shiryu already missed the sensation of the Raiu tearing flesh apart, and the sound of agonizing screams...
Thinking of the happy time to come, Shiryu felt that even the crunching sound of her footsteps on the snow had become pleasant.
If... it were a scene of carnage and blood everywhere, that would be even better! Every step would splash up thick blood, leaving shoe prints in the minced meat, and the stench of blood would assault your nostrils...
Shiryu wore an expression that resembled that of a pervert, as if the surrounding environment were truly changing as he had imagined.
Suddenly!
Shiryu a chill run down his spine.
Something's not right!
Although this is indeed my favorite scene,... I seem to be getting more and more lost in my imagination today?
A sense of crisis surged within Shiryu, but what was even more unsettling was that even under these circumstances, a trace of "attachment" lingered in his heart, keeping him entangled in this beautiful dream.
The next moment, the sword light of the Famous Sword Rainstorm flashed.
It flashed both in Shiryu's mind, allowing him to completely break free from the previous hypnosis, and in the outside world, shattering that huge "Charm Eye."
"The Okama King?" Shiryu showed a mixture of "I knew it" and "anticipation."
Ivankov had already appeared, and Shiryu immediately attributed the strange occurrence to her.
But just as Shiryu guard against Ivankov, his shadow suddenly came to life and pounced on his body!
Without the "Awakening Prison-Prison Devil Fruit ability," the shadow's binding ability is greatly reduced, but Sig is currently hiding in the shadow—he just slipped in while Sieg was distracted under hypnosis.
"Who!" Shiryu shouted.
At the same time, his hands were not slow either. He immediately spun the Raiu in his hand, creating a vortex-like slash that not only deterred people from approaching but also caused a great commotion.
Shiryu already thought that the so-called "Demon's invitation" was unreliable, and that there must be a secret base in the prison that he didn't know about.
After Ivankov entered, he reopened level 5.5, which Morley had left behind, and brought in quite a few prisoners he liked...
It was the series of prisoner disappearances over the past year that forced Magellan to go to Mary Geoise to report and apologize.
However, since none of the missing prisoners appeared at sea, it was not considered a "prison break," so the problem wasn't too serious.
After all, it's normal for people to die in Impel Down; the most likely outcome is that they're already dead.
It was only because the body could not be found, and Magellan was so stubborn that he didn't fabricate anything but openly reported the abnormality, which led to the questioning!
Among the prisoners, rumors of "the Demon's invitation" gradually began to circulate.
Shiryu had hinted to Magellan that he had killed far more than these people before, and that if Magellan turned a blind eye in the future, he could handle these matters himself. However, Magellan instead scolded him.
Now that Ivankov has reappeared, Shiryu is both surprised and delighted—they actually dared to launch a sneak attack on me? Perfect! If I capture you all and turn Magellan's life around, I might just become the warden!
Then we won't need to be so secretive anymore.
Ivankov also realized that although Shiryu was a freak, he wasn't stupid...
This is clearly a form of resistance aimed at attracting attention.
However, at the same time, the surrounding icy and snowy ground suddenly rose up as if cut into strips of paper, suppressing Shiryu's momentum somewhat.
It was Ivankov's deputy commander, "Inazuma," who made the move; he had also been arrested earlier!
Inazuma is a user of the Chop-Chop Fruit, which allows him to cut objects into any shape he desires and temporarily give them the properties of paper.
Two more prisoners then leaped out of the snow, their once slender figures instantly swelling to match their stubble-covered faces, and they rushed forward to embrace Shiryu...
Shiryu quickly slashed through the two muscular men!
The two groaned and lay down, bleeding profusely.
"Thompson Sweetie, Black Sweetie!" Ivankov exclaimed.
After the two fell to the ground, they were still rolling around, so their injuries were obviously not serious!
Despite his exclamation, Ivankov didn't hesitate for a moment. Taking advantage of the moment when his two sweethearts "sacrificed" themselves, he pulled out a whip from somewhere and lashed it at Shiryu, wrapping it around the wrist of the man holding the knife.
Before Shiryu break free, a large section of the ground was cut off by Inazuma, like a roll of paper, and wrapped around Shiryu's left leg and left hand!
At the same time, one after another, strangely dressed burly men jumped out, their muscles bulging rapidly, and pounced on Shiryu.
Shiryu a flurry of slashes, but his movements gradually slowed...
Sig was certainly not idle. If it weren't for the help of Ivankov and the others, he would have chosen a more covert method to gradually control Shiryu. But now... from the very beginning, Sig has been using shadows as a springboard to directly compete with Shiryu for his body!
Ivankov and the other "New Kama" were tasked with controlling Shiryu to buy Sig time.
They now also sense that Shiryu's resistance is gradually diminishing...
