Impel Down, the Impel Down.
Fire Fist Ace had already been taken away by then.
Previously, when this son of the Pirate King left Infinite Hell, he tried to escape and knocked down two jailers while wearing Seastone Handcuffs.
However, he was easily suppressed by Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, and safely handed over to Marine Vice Admiral Impel Down Onigumo.
Onigumo Vice Admiral's escort fleet, carrying Fire Fist Ace, quickly returned to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, aboard the Navy's special ocean current.
Less than two hours after they left, another warship entered Impel Down's port.
At this moment, Magellan, suffering from a stomachache due to the side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit's power, returned to the dedicated gas-proof toilet on the fourth floor.
"Hahaha, Crocodile, believe me, from today onwards, we will be the new Four Emperors pirate crew!"
Blackbeard Teach excitedly shared his ambitions and grand plans with his partner, Sand Crocodile.
"I just want to kill Whitebeard!"
Crocodile remained indifferent, seemingly showing no interest whatsoever in the 'new companions' about to Impel Down.
"Hahaha, we're not only going to kill Whitebeard, but also steal his Tremor-Tremor Fruit power and take over his territory!"
Blackbeard Teach laughed as he had Chameleon Cameo transform into Vice Admiral Mozambia, who then led them into Impel Down.
This Vice Admiral Mozambia was the Vice Admiral in charge of entertaining the Shichibukai.
This is also the only Marine Vice Admiral Cameo successfully contacted and replicated.
This unlucky Vice Admiral had previously been teased by Doflamingo, who used the String-String Fruit's power to control him and injure two Marine soldiers.
If it weren't for Sengoku the Buddha and Vice Admiral Tsuru reprimanding Doflamingo, this Marine Vice Admiral would probably have killed even more marines.
This level of strength is truly a disgrace to the Marine Vice Admiral!
Now, the Blackbeard Pirates are using Vice Admiral Mozambia's face to raid Impel Down again.
This guy is really getting blamed one after another.
For some reason, the prison guards on the first level of Impel Down, a Marine Vice Admiral, brought Blackbeard Teach, Shichibukai, and Crocodile, a former Shichibukai, to visit Impel Down.
"Does the Mozambia Vice Admiral have any visitation warrants from Marine Headquarters?"
"Also, if they enter Impel Down, the Shichibukai and their crews will need to wear Seastone Handcuffs to prevent accidents..."
The two prison guards from Impel Down addressed Vice Admiral Mozambia and Blackbeard Teach with serious expressions.
"Thief, hahaha, wearing Seastone Handcuffs?"
How can a person relinquish their freedom to another?
Blackbeard Teach glanced at the time, then made his move without hesitation. With a pair of large, black hands, he pressed one hand on each of the two prison officers' faces, swallowing them into the darkness.
"Oh no, it's an intruder!!"
The other prison guards and officers reacted instantly, raising their guns and firing.
'Desert Spada!'
Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, swung his right hand, and a series of desert blades slashed upwards, killing the jailers and guards one by one, turning them into dried corpses that fell to the ground.
"Hahaha! Well done, Crocodile!"
Blackbeard Teach was very satisfied with this intelligent and decisive partner.
As long as Crocodile doesn't leave the Blackbeard Pirates, he won't covet Crocodile's Logia Sand-Sand Fruit ability.
If Crocodile dares to leave the Blackbeard Pirates, then Teach will 'reclaim' this powerful Logia ability and give it to a more loyal subordinate.
"Hahaha, I hope our new partner has powerful Devil Fruit abilities!"
The chameleon Cameo reverted from his Mozambia Vice Admiral appearance to his original form, licking his eyes with a long tongue, his gaze filled with longing.
Perhaps within Impel Down, there exists a powerful Devil Fruit ability comparable to Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
"My horse actually needs a Mythical Zoan ability."
Death God Doc Q lay on the Stronger Zhuangzhuang. Now that he had the power of the Sick-Sick Fruit, he decided to do something for his mount.
He was attracted to Blackbeard's 'charm' precisely because Blackbeard Teach possessed the ability to strip away Devil Fruit powers.
"Hahaha, all my subordinates will be powerful Devil Fruit User!"
After Blackbeard Teach wiped out all the jailers and guards on the ground floor, he arrogantly led three of his men directly into the elevator and headed to the fourth floor of Impel Down.
That's the core level of Impel Down, not only the offices of the warden Chief Warden, but also Impel Down's canteen and food warehouse.
"Crocodile, I hope your information is accurate. Now that the Chief Warden Impel Down has been imprisoned, all we need to do is take out the warden of Impel Down!"
Blackbeard Teach's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Even with the two powerful figures Impel Down, he would still choose to take a gamble.
Besides, the Chief Warden is already in prison, and now he has Crocodile helping him!
This plan has at least a 60-70% chance of success.
This is enough to tempt Blackbeard to take a gamble.
"This Impel Down warden is no ordinary person; we mustn't die."
Crocodile, cigar in mouth, spoke calmly, giving Blackbeard Cameo a cold glance.
These ignorant fools have become the prey and spoils of the Wang Shi, yet they remain oblivious.
The poor fellow, still dreaming of soaring to the heavens.
It has to be said, being targeted by Wang Shi was truly unlucky.
Every step was meticulously planned.
···
Shortly after the Blackbeard Pirates went down.
A dragon-headed warship also approached Impel Down.
Two airships appeared in the sky.
"Tsk tsk, Blackbeard is so confident that he didn't even bother to block the signal."
On the Exile Emperor, the Goa Empire's eavesdropping Den Den Mushi successfully intercepted Impel Down's urgent communication with Marine Headquarters.
During the phone call, Deputy Commissioner Hannyabal reported on the Blackbeard Pirates' invasion.
However, he confidently assured that he would work with Warden Magellan to take down the invaders like Blackbeard Teach and Crocodile, assuring Marine Headquarters that there was no need to worry.
In Impel Down, Magellan is invincible.
After listening to Hannyabal's phone call, Wang Shi smiled.
However, the jailers and guards of Impel Down certainly have that confidence.
After all, Impel Down had been safe for over a decade or two under Magellan's protection.
When Golden Lion Shiki escaped, Magellan was not yet the warden; he was just a young prison guard.
"Alright, the first scapegoat is in place."
Wang Shi revealed a faint smile. Blackbeard Teach was indeed arrogant, not even worried that the Marine Headquarters would spare forces to support Impel Down.
Of course, Crocodile didn't mention the signal jamming to Blackbeard.
All of this was exactly what Wang Shi had envisioned.
Wang Shi did not instruct Laffitte to immediately place blocking Den Den Mushi around the area.
At least let the news about the Blackbeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army spread before making any further moves.
"The Revolutionary Army is here!"
Ikko accurately sensed the arrival of Monkey D. Dragon, the Leader of the Revolutionary Army.
After the battle with the Goa Empire, he had already deeply memorized Dragon's aura.
"Pretty punctual."
Wang Shi smiled with satisfaction, took out his Den Den Mushi, and dialed Dragon's number.
