Unimpeded Earth Release Technique!

"Speaking of which, what's going on here?"

Ivankov, running through the tunnel, glanced at Xi Yan upon hearing this and said, "Are you referring to the New Okama Kingdom?"

"Yes."

"This was done by one of our fellow Revolutionary Army," Ivankov explained. "He used his Push-Push Fruit powers to create a huge space between the Level 5 and Sixth Floor, which is the New Okama Kingdom you see."

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Molly, he wouldn't be able to live such a carefree life here.

"Paramecia Devil Fruit User, huh?" Xi Yan said.

"Yes."

"That's really amazing," Xi Yan exclaimed.

It can not only push aside the ground, but also push aside the special substance underneath, thus creating an enormous space.

In this way...

Um?

Wrong!

Xi Yan suddenly stopped, glanced down at the ground, and thought, 'Since that guy pushed open that special underground layer, does that mean... my Earth Release Technique can now burrow directly underground?'

Thinking of this, Xi Yan's eyes lit up.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Xi Yan suddenly stop, a look of doubt appeared in Ivankov's eyes.

"I'm wondering if my Earth Release Technique can take me directly to the Sixth Floor!" Xi Yan said.

If Earth Release Technique could directly reach the Sixth Floor, there would be no need to go through the trouble of running to the Great Gate.

Then, Xi Yan squatted down, placed his hands on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to carefully sense his surroundings.

A moment later, Xi Yan opened his eyes and said, "It's feasible!"

Unlike the previous floors, the special interlayer here has been pushed away by the Devil Fruit User!

In this way, he could use Earth Release Technique that allows one to escape from the earth) to send them to the Sixth Floor.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan couldn't help but smile.

"What's feasible?" Ivankov asked.

"The upper levels all have special interlayers," Xi Yan explained. "Because of those interlayers, my Earth Release Technique can't carry people through the floor to the next level."

"But the mezzanine on this level has already been pushed away by that Push- Devil Fruit User, so you can go directly to the next level."

At this moment, Xi Yan was actually quite grateful to the Push-Push Devil Fruit User; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome for him to enter the next level.

"A special interlayer?"

Ivankov stroked his chin and said, "It seems the World Government has put in a lot of effort to build this Underwater Great Prison."

That's true. If we don't create something special, there will definitely be wave after wave of escapees.

Yes, that makes sense.

"Alright, let's go," Xi Yan said.

After saying that, Xi Yan activated the Earth Release Technique.

As the Ninjutsu was activated, the ground beneath their feet immediately began to writhe, as if it had come to life!

Then, the three of them slowly sank down as if they were standing on the surface of water.

"What an amazing ability," Ivankov said, observing the changes beneath his feet. "Is this the power of Ninja?"

Seeing it on surveillance footage is completely different from seeing it with your own eyes!

This man... is truly terrifying!

"Earth Release Technique," Inazuma said. "What a convenient ability."

As the two finished speaking, the three of them completely entered the underground.

"It's a bit dark, Ninja Boy," Ivankov said. "Could you turn on a light?"

Xi Yan:???

"Where am I supposed to get you a light?" Xi Yan complained, speechless.

There were some candles, but they tend to go out when moving at high speeds, so Xi Yan didn't really want to use them.

But I'm really afraid of the dark!

Xi Yan:...

"Shut up already," Xi Yan said irritably. "I don't believe you don't Observation Haki."

If I remember correctly, Bon Clay said this guy was the king of the Okama Kingdom. Would such a being Observation Haki?

He doesn't believe it!

"You're a real culprit, Ninja Boy!" Ivankov laughed, "I do indeed Observation Haki."

Even so, I'm still afraid of the dark.

"After all... being afraid of the dark is a biological instinct!"

"Hip-hop!"

Just then, a light source suddenly appeared beside the two of them, immediately attracting their attention.

However, the moment they looked over, they were completely silenced.

Because Inazuma's face appeared exceptionally pale in the dim light of the tinderbox, it looked like a ghost.

"Can you please stop scaring people like that?" Xi Yan complained.

"That is."

Ivankov stared at Inazuma with a speechless expression. This guy could at least have given him a heads-up.

He didn't even use Observation Haki, you bastard!

Unfortunately, Inazuma didn't pay any attention to the two people's complaints and calmly said, "Although the light from the tinderbox is very weak, it's barely enough for illumination."

Xi Yan rolled his eyes, then looked at Ivankov and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Okay, that's fine."

Having regained his composure, Ivankov crossed his arms and said, "Ninja Boy, you can begin your performance now."

"It's been going on for a while now."

The moment they entered the underground, Xi Yan manipulated the rocks beneath their feet to support them and move them.

Now, we have passed through that special area and arrived above the Sixth Floor.

After carefully assessing the situation below, Xi Yan said, "Alright, we've arrived."

After speaking, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then glanced at the two and said, "Be prepared, there might be something unexpected down there."

"Understood!" Ivankov nodded.

He understood what Xi Yan meant; the other party was worried that Magellan was on the Sixth Floor.

But... even if that guy is there, they will still rescue him!

"Damn it, if only I could get out of here," one pirate said. "Then I could go to Navy Headquarters and take Whitebeard's head."

"Ha, you think you can take that?"

"Kid, what do you mean?" The mocked pirate was instantly enraged. He stormed to the cell door, glaring at the pirate opposite him, and said fiercely, "Want to die?!"

"I'm a bounty hunter..."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense," a pirate in the nearby cell said. "Everyone here is a renowned figure!"

"That's right!"

"Hahaha, kid, if you dared to talk to me like that outside, I'd have snapped your head off by now!"

"Hahaha, that's absolutely right!"

"Hey, you jailer over there, let me out right now! I'm going to kill Whitebeard!"

"That's right!"

Unfortunately, the prison guard in charge of the Sixth Floor surveillance ignored them and continued fiddling with his Den Den Mushi.

Seeing that the jailer ignored them, the pirates gave a disgruntled look and said, "Tch, how boring."

If the other party is willing to engage in a war of words, it can be quite entertaining; however, if they are ignored, it's not very interesting.

Just then, a pirate noticed something was wrong.

"Look, what's that on the ceiling?"

"Hey, there are three people!"

Why are there three people?

The pirates were completely stunned as they watched the three figures fall from the ceiling.

The jailer froze in place the moment the three appeared.

"Is this the Sixth Floor?"

From mid-air, Xi Yan looked down at the approaching prison cells and said, "They really are simple and plain prison cells."

It looked similar to the cells on the First Floor, with nothing superfluous.

While thinking about it, Xi Yan activated the Water Release Technique.

"Water Release Technique: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Boom!!"

A massive vortex of water appeared below Xi Yan, then transformed into an enormous Water Dragon, lifting the three of them up.

Then, the huge Water Dragon carried the three of them downwards, landing steadily in front of the jailer.

"Boom!!"

The moment it landed, the Water Dragon disintegrated and collapsed, turning into a large number of water droplets that rushed in all directions, drenching the jailer in front of it thoroughly.

"Forehead..."

The jailer, who had been swept away by the Water Dragon, immediately came to his senses and exclaimed in horror, "A... Blood-Eyed Ninja?!"

If I remember correctly, this guy is the Blood-Eyed Ninja who invaded Underwater Great Prison!

Damn it, why is he here?

"Hip-hop!"

"Perfect landing!" Ivankov exclaimed with a laugh.

"You are... Ivankov?!"

Upon seeing Ivankov's familiar face, the jailer instinctively took a step back, thinking, 'It's over...'

The Blood-Eyed Ninja was already a powerful figure capable of fighting Warden Magellan, and now with the addition of the incredibly strong Ivankov... he's doomed!

As if realizing what was about to happen to him, despair immediately appeared on the jailer's face.

'I just hope the enemy will give me a quick death, otherwise...'

Looking at the trembling jailer, Ivankov said, "Candy Boy, if you cooperate obediently, I'll..."

"Why waste your breath on him?"

Xi Yan walked up to the jailer, revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan, and activated the Sharinggan's Illusion.

"Clang!"

In just a moment, the prison guard was forcibly controlled by Xi Yan's Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Tell me, where is Fire Fist Ace being held?" Xi Yan asked.

Upon hearing this, the man pointed to the cell in the distance and said, "It's over there."

"Over there?"

Xi Yan glanced at the distant prison cells, then nodded and said, "Let's go."

What did you do?

Ivankov looked at Xi Yan with suspicion. Why did that guy obediently reveal the information just because the other party only glanced at him?

"Ah, I only hypnotized him," Xi Yan said calmly.

Ivankov:!!!

Hypnosis?

Is it really that amazing?

Looking into Xi Yan's blood-red eyes, Ivankov was shocked and thought, "Was he hypnotized using those eyes?"

Is this due to the power of Devil Fruit, or is it because of his special bloodline?

"Alright, stop looking and get down to business," Xi Yan said.

"Oh, they're here!"

Forcibly suppressing his curiosity, Ivankov immediately followed.

The surrounding pirates also realized what was happening at that moment, and shouted excitedly, "Hey, you're Ivankov, aren't you!"

Are you trying to escape from prison?

"Count me in!"

"That's right, as long as you give me the key to the Seastone Handcuffs, I'll lead you out of here!"

"That's right, I'm very strong. That diarrhea bastard is no match for me!"

"Hahaha, quick, give us the key!"

Listening to the noise of the group around him, Ivankov frowned, glanced at them, and said, "How noisy."

"If you say another word, I'll kill you all!"

However, instead of being angered by Ivankov's words, these people laughed even more wildly.

Finally, they even started stomping their feet in perfect unison, as if trying to put pressure on them.

Unfortunately, this was of no use to Ivankov.

However, since the other party was being unreasonable, he didn't intend to tolerate these guys.

With this in mind, Ivankov launched the attack.

"Death Wink!"

"Bump!"

A powerful shockwave shot out, sending the pirates in the nearby cell flying.

Then, Ivankov turned his attention to the other cell and continued his attack.

"Death Wink!"

"Death Wink!"

"Death Wink!"

The relentless attacks knocked the pirates to their knees, and some Devil Fruit User who were bound by Sea Stone were even beaten until Ivankov coughed up blood!

Ignoring the commotion behind him, Xi Yan arrived at his target area.

However, upon closer inspection, Xi Yan frowned, because he discovered that there was no trace of Ace in the cell, but instead there was a Blue Fatty.

Xi Yan:???

Xi Yan, frowning, arrived at the cell and said, "Didn't you just say Ace was here? Why isn't he here?"

"It really is right here."

The jailer said, "He was still locked up here when I came here yesterday."

"Then why has the person disappeared?"

The jailer paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps... Warden Magellan has already taken him away."

"You didn't know about this?"

"I'm sorry, I just arrived on the Sixth Floor myself and don't know what happened here," the jailer said.

He was treating the wounded with his colleagues before receiving the order, so he didn't know whether the warden had taken the man away.

Xi Yan frowned upon hearing this, thinking to himself, 'It seems the enemy isn't stupid after all.'

After realizing he knew Earth Release Technique, did he think he might be able to use Earth Release Technique to reach the Sixth Floor and rescue someone, so he took Fire Fist Ace away beforehand?

Pshaw, you were one step behind.

"Looks like we're too late."

Holding a glass of red wine, Inazuma frowned and said, "Fire Fist Ace has probably already been taken away."

"Most likely," Ivankov said. "If they were smart enough, they would have sent them away beforehand."

If even a secluded spot like the Sixth Floor couldn't stop the Ninja Boy, then the other floors would be the same.

Therefore, he didn't believe that Magellan would leave Fire Fist Ace in Underwater Great Prison.

By now... they've probably already been sent to a warship outside or are on their way to Navy Headquarters.

Thinking of this, Ivankov's expression turned somewhat grim.

'They actually came...'

Jinbe, inside his cell, stared in shock at the three people talking outside, his eyes filled with horror.

This is the Underwater Great Prison known as the Pirate Grave!

But not only did they break in, they even fought their way up to the Sixth Floor... This really surprised him!

Glancing at Xi Yan's appearance, Jinbe to himself, "Isn't that the boy in the Straw Hat...? Is he Straw Hat's companion?"
