Magellan's Message, Sengoku's Shock

Silence, nothing but silence.

Whether it was Magellan emerging from the washroom or the prison guards standing watch in the office, an eerie silence fell over them.

"Call..."

Magellan let out a long sigh of relief, then said, "Laugh if you want to."

These kids saw what he looked like before; he's basically doomed.

But Magellan couldn't say anything, after all... it was his own problem.

It's fair to say that Magellan has now given up entirely.

Hearing Magellan's words, the jailers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At least their warden wasn't driven to the brink of collapse.

Then, they said excitedly, "Warden, how could we possibly laugh at you?!"

"That's right, Warden, you're working so hard and you still insist on fighting, what reason do we have to laugh at you?"

"It's all that damned Blood-Eyed Ninja's fault! We must kill him!"

"Kill him!"

The jailers were in a frenzy, eager to find that damned Blood-Eyed Ninja right now!

Seeing his subordinates' reactions, a hint of emotion appeared in Magellan's eyes.

"Warden, please give the order!"

"That's right, even if it means death, we'll keep these damned bastards in the Underwater Great Prison!" the jailer exclaimed excitedly.

That bastard dared to treat their respected warden like that; that bastard must be killed!

"Catching him now won't be easy." Magellan, having calmed down, pondered for a moment and said, "He possesses Earth Release Technique is a type of magic that allows him to move underground at any time)."

"Without strong Observation Haki, it's impossible to pinpoint his location."

Although they didn't know why the opponent's Earth Release Technique allows one to escape into rocks), the fact that the opponent could burrow underground meant that it would be very difficult for them to catch the opponent.

"What should we do then?" the jailer asked. "Are we just going to abandon them?"

According to the surveillance footage from the spiral staircase, the other party had already entered the Level 5.

If left unchecked, no one knows what might happen.

"Of course we should manage it!" Magellan said. "But there are more important things to do now."

A look of confusion appeared in the eyes of the prison guards, clearly not understanding what their warden meant.

Magellan did not explain, but simply ordered them to assist their companions in treating the wounded, and to summon Hannibal.

After all the jailers had left, Magellan frowned and said, "I wonder if any of these people were hypnotized by the Blood-Eyed Ninja."

When the opponent was fighting him, he created a clone, which might hypnotize a prison guard along the way.

This is also why he didn't reveal his plan, for fear of exposing his true intentions!

Back at his desk, Magellan frowned and said, "Earth Release Technique and Hypnosis... these are really troublesome abilities!"

"That means he could find the Sixth Floor at any time!"

Magellan had no idea where the limits of the other party's hypnosis were. If he could hypnotize Sadi-chan or Saldeath, he would be able to find out that Fire Fist Ace was imprisoned on the Sixth Floor!

Although Saldeath said he had never had face-to-face contact with the Blood-Eyed Ninja, Sadi-chan had faced that man!

'He may have hypnotized Sadi-chan Sadi-chan before I even got there,' Magellan thought to himself.

In this way, the other side would have a chance to find out Fire Fist Ace's location!

Add to that the Earth Release Technique of the Blood-Eyed Ninja...

With this in mind, Magellan became even more determined in his decision.

Magellan then opened a drawer in his desk, took out the special Den Den Mushi, and dialed the number of Marshal Sengoku.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Click~"

"I am from the Sengoku!"

"Marshal Sengoku, I am Magellan," Magellan said.

"Magellan?"

Sengoku was visibly taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Your sudden contact with me means... something has happened at the Underwater Great Prison, right?"

Could it be that the Blood-Eyed Ninja rescued Fire Fist Ace and successfully escaped from prison?

Upon realizing this, Sengoku's heart sank.

"That's one way to put it."

"That's also possible..." Sengoku asked, puzzled, "How so?"

"You should still remember the information about the Blood-Eyed Ninja, right?"

"Certainly."

As he spoke, Sengoku reviewed the information about the Blood-Eyed Ninja in his mind, then said, "Could it be that your poison can't break his immortality?"

"Yes," Magellan said, taking a deep breath. "I fought him for hours, killing him many times, but each time he would reappear in another place."

Sengoku fell silent. He hadn't expected that guy to be so powerful; even Magellan, a natural enemy of life, couldn't break his immortality.

'Damn it, could that guy really be immortal?'

The moment that thought crossed Sengoku's mind, he crushed it.

In his view, true immortality is impossible in this world.

Magellan didn't kill his opponent, most likely because the opponent still had the stamina to continue using his abilities.

If we fight for several days and nights, we might be able to wear them down!

But when Sengoku thought about Magellan's health condition, Sengoku was in a dilemma again.

'This kid has diarrhea for ten hours a Tenten; he can't possibly last that long.'

Thinking of this, Sengoku said, "In that case, I will send Admiral to support you."

Although the risks are great, the Underwater Great Prison cannot afford to fail.

"No!" Magellan shook his head and said, "The Whitebeard Pirates could launch a surprise attack on Navy Headquarters at any time. Losing an Admiral would be too drastic."

Magellan knew very well that to kill the Blood-Eyed Ninja, he would have to grind him down over time!

Only after completely exhausting the opponent's stamina can you truly break his immortality!

But that would take a very long time.

What if the Whitebeard Pirates launch a surprise attack on Navy Headquarters while the Admiral are fighting here?

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Magellan nodded. "I'll find a way to stop him."

"And you..."

Sengoku hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back. He really wanted to say that if you force yourself to fight while your stomach hurts, you might be...

However, such words could be hurtful, so the Sengoku did not say them.

Perhaps sensing what Sengoku was about to say, Magellan closed his eyes and said with some pain, "That situation has already occurred."

Sengoku:...

Even though Magellan didn't say it explicitly, Sengoku immediately understood what Magellan meant.

After all... the other party had said before that the two had been fighting for several hours.

Those few hours could potentially push Magellan's physical condition to its limit, and then...

Thinking of this, Sengoku sighed and said, "You've suffered."

"It's alright, I've accepted reality." Magellan shook his head, then said solemnly, "I will risk everything to stop them, Marshal Sengoku."

"However, there is one thing that requires your consent."

Sengoku paused for a moment, then asked, "What is it?"

"I need you to bring Fire Fist Ace back to Navy Headquarters right now!" Magellan said earnestly.

"Now?"

Sengoku frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Because the Blood-Eyed Ninja's Earth Release Technique can be used on the rocky floor of Underwater Great Prison!" Magellan said, "Even if the floor of Underwater Great Prison is made of layers of various materials, he can still burrow underground!"

Sengoku:!!!

Upon hearing Magellan's words, Sengoku's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, "His Earth Release Technique can actually achieve this level?!"

They had previously demonstrated their Earth Release Technique abilities in front of Borsalino and Sakazuki back in the Sabaody Archipelago.

They initially thought the other side could only use it on land, but it turns out it can even work on rocks?

This is just too outrageous!

'No wonder they were able to infiltrate the Underwater Great Prison so silently,' Sengoku murmured to himself.

Water Release Technique allows the opponent to move across the sea, thus enabling them to silently reach the vicinity of the Underwater Great Prison.

The Earth Release Technique allows the opponent to silently infiltrate the Underwater Great Prison.

Damn, their abilities are too perfect!

"Yes." Magellan said, "His earth escape technique is so outrageous."

"Plus hypnosis... I suspect he might already know where Fire Fist Ace is."

"They might already be searching for each other's location!!"

This is why he insisted on taking Fire Fist Ace away ahead of schedule!

"In that case, we do need to take them away," Sengoku said with a grim face.

If the Blood-Eyed Ninja had rescued Fire Fist Ace beforehand, their public execution would have been impossible, and the Navy would have lost all face!

This was something the Sengoku could not tolerate.

"Then send someone to pick him up," Magellan said, standing up. "I'll go and bring him out right away."

"Alright, I'll send Borsalino to Underwater Great Prison right away," Sengoku said. "He'll get there as quickly as possible."

"Admiral?"

"Marshal Sengoku, I've already said..."

"I understand!" Sengoku interrupted Magellan, saying, "But escorting Fire Fist D. Ace is no small matter. Sending him will not only be safer, but also faster."

After finishing speaking, Sengoku paused for a moment, then said, "However, this will put more pressure on you."

Once the other side discovers that Fire Fist Ace has been taken away, they may take some retaliatory actions.

For example, releasing more prisoners, or... using Water Release Technique to flood the Underwater Great Prison seawater!

Thinking of this, a shadow fell over Sengoku's eyes.

"I know, I know very well what will happen," Magellan said, "But this must be done!"

Magellan knew very well that from the moment he poisoned the Straw Hat, there was no room for reconciliation between the two sides, so he had nothing to worry about.

The moment the other party reappears, he will risk everything to keep them in the Underwater Great Prison!

"Okay, I understand. I'll send Borsalino off right away."

"Yes!"

"Click~"

Sengoku rubbed his temples, looking at the Den Den Mushi that had ended its call, feeling a bit of a headache.

"That damned Blood-Eyed Ninja."

Normally, he would have simply sent his Admiral inside to eliminate the enemy, but at this particular moment, he needed to be wary of Whitebeard.

Thinking of this, Sengoku sighed deeply.

Then, Sengoku looked at the communications soldier and said, "Go, bring Borsalino to me."

"Yes!"

Borsalino quickly arrived after receiving the message, but his face remained nonchalant.

"Oh~"

"Marshal Sengoku, what brings you here?" Borsalino asked.

"We need you to go to the Underwater Great Prison."

"Um?"

Borsalino paused for a moment, then asked with some surprise, "What happened over there?"

He thought about it for a moment and concluded that it probably wasn't the Whitebeard Pirates who launched a Underwater Great Prison, otherwise they wouldn't have only sent one of his Admiral.

But if it wasn't the Whitebeard Pirates, why would they need to send out Marine Admiral like him?

"Blood-Eyed Ninja Xi Yan and Straw Hat have invaded Underwater Great Prison."

"Is there really such a thing?"

Borsalino remarked, "These newcomers these days are really... wow!"

He really didn't expect that those guys who disappeared in the Sabaody Archipelago would appear in the Underwater Great Prison.

'Was it made by a bear?' Borsalino thought to himself, 'It's not impossible.'

However... as pirates, they actually dared to invade the Underwater Great Prison; they certainly have a lot of guts.

"That Ninja Kid's Earth Release Technique can be used on the rocky ground of Underwater Great Prison, which might allow him to rescue Fire Fist D. Ace," Sengoku said. "So I need you to go there and bring Fire Fist D. Ace back to Navy Headquarters."

Is that so?

Borsalino nodded, then asked with some doubt, "Don't you need me to kill him?"

Although Sakazuki's report stated that the opponent possessed abilities that suggested immortality, surely enough kills would eventually exhaust their stamina.

After all... abilities are activated by physical strength!

Once the opponent's stamina is depleted, he can kill or capture them!

"No, there's no time for that."

"What's the meaning?"

"You know Magellan's abilities; he fought the Blood-Eyed Ninja for hours and couldn't break his immortality," Sengoku said. "This means that to kill or capture him alive, we'll have to spend even more time wearing him down!"

"I see."

Borsalino frowned and said, "That's certainly a headache."

Borsalino knew about Magellan.

Although his opponent was not as strong as him, the role he could play in the Underwater Great Prison was no less significant.

After all... the opponent's entire body is covered in toxins that counteract living organisms!

Once the enemy goes all out in battle, the battlefield will be filled with terrible toxins!

In that kind of environment, other people could lose their lives at any moment!

'And under these circumstances, can that kid still survive for a few hours?' Borsalino thought to himself.

That means even if he wanted to kill that guy, it wouldn't be an easy task.

With that in mind, Borsalino abandoned the idea of fighting there.

After all... he really can't be away for too long.

"The Whitebeard Pirates could launch a surprise attack on Navy Headquarters at any moment; you don't have much time." Sengoku took a deep breath and said, "So let's set off quickly and finish this quickly."

"Okay, I understand. I'll set off right away to bring Fire Fist Ace back."

After saying that, Borsalino left without hesitation.

After watching Borsalino leave, Sengoku murmured, "Hopefully Magellan can get the man out before that kid does."

Otherwise, their navy would really lose face.

Thinking of this, Sengoku sighed silently.
