Haki Sweeps Through Infinite Hell

When Luo Chen made his way down to the fifth underground level, he saw Straw Hat Luffy and the others going back and forth.

Straw Hat Luffy shouted, "Luo Chen, Ace isn't on the sixth underground level. We're heading to Marine Headquarters at Marineford now."

"You go on ahead. I still have something to do." Luo Chen declined to travel with Straw Hat Luffy and continued downward.

"That guy?" Crocodile stared at Luo Chen's retreating figure, his words filled with confusion.

Jinbe also watched the departing figure and said, "That man is Luo Chen, right? I heard he's caused quite a stir recently. He even kidnapped Celestial Dragons."

"He kidnapped Celestial Dragons?" Those words instantly gave Crocodile, Ivankov, and Inazuma a tremendous shock.

How much nerve did that take? He even dared to kidnap Celestial Dragons? That could no longer be described merely as bold.

He was practically the ultimate king among terrorists.

At that moment, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Brook also explained Luo Chen's deeds.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen arrived at the sixth underground level, Infinite Hell.

"Someone else has come in? Who is it this time?"

"Hurry up and let me out! I've had enough of this place!"

"Me too, me too! Let me out, and I'll give you my treasure."

"Release me! I can help you kill people."

The moment Luo Chen entered, the sixth underground level, Infinite Hell, was filled with all sorts of voices.

Luo Chen ignored their ghostly howls.

"Idiots, quiet down." Luo Chen roared in a deep voice.

At the same time, his Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire sixth underground level, Infinite Hell. Its immense force flooded every cell.

"Conqueror's Haki?"

The eruption of Luo Chen's Conqueror's Haki instantly intimidated many people, though some remained unaffected.

These people were all true first-rate powerhouses. Not a single Pirate imprisoned in the sixth level of Infinite Hell was ordinary.

Even the weakest had bounties exceeding one hundred million.

Seeing that they had finally quieted down somewhat, Luo Chen began walking forward, carefully examining every cell he passed.

When he reached one particular cell, Luo Chen stopped. He stepped closer and smiled. "Impel Down's Chief Warden, Shiryu of the Rain."

"Someone actually recognizes me? How rare." Shiryu of the Rain slowly raised his head and looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen extended an invitation. "How about it? Want to sail with me and see the vast world outside? If you stay here, you'll only be wasting your time."

A smile appeared at the corner of Shiryu of the Rain's mouth. "Looks like you came prepared. Then please take care of me from now on, Captain."

The reason Shiryu of the Rain agreed to the man before him was simple: could a man capable of precisely controlling Conqueror's Haki possibly be weak?

Besides, Shiryu of the Rain had long since grown tired of staying in Infinite Hell.

Now, a powerful man had invited him, and Shiryu of the Rain wanted to leave as well. They hit it off immediately.

Luo Chen drew the supreme-grade blade Kogarashi and unleashed a Flying Slash Attack, instantly cutting through the Seastone bars of the cell.

With a clatter.

The Flying Slash Attack did not lose momentum, severing the Seastone restraining Shiryu of the Rain as well.

As the Seastone handcuffs fell away, Shiryu of the Rain completely regained his freedom.

The freed Shiryu of the Rain slowly rose to his feet and smiled. "Captain, the swordsmanship you used just now has reached the level of a Great Swordsman, hasn't it?"

"Mm." Luo Chen responded flatly.

That alone satisfied Shiryu of the Rain. It showed that this captain he had chosen possessed astonishing potential. At such a young age, he was bound to achieve great things in the future.

The Flying Slash Attack Luo Chen had unleashed also intimidated the Pirates imprisoned in Infinite Hell once more.

Someone with Conqueror's Haki and the swordsmanship of a Great Swordsman was an elite powerhouse of the highest class upon the seas.

Shiryu of the Rain followed behind Luo Chen as they continued forward.

Shiryu of the Rain said nothing and simply followed quietly. After all, he did not yet understand his new captain, so silence was the wisest choice.

Luo Chen passed cell after cell, each filled with all kinds of roaring voices.

When Luo Chen reached the deepest cell!!

Shiryu of the Rain's expression changed as well. The person imprisoned here was...

"Hehehe~~"

"Kid, are you trying to invite me to become your crewman? Let me tell you, I don't think much of a brat like you." The voice of the prisoner came from within the cell.

With his arms folded across his chest, Luo Chen said leisurely, "Douglas Bullet, former member of the Roger Pirates."

"You wanted to become the strongest in the world, but were ultimately imprisoned in Impel Down by the Marines. Yet your current situation proves that you are a loser."

"As a loser, where do you get the nerve to act so arrogant?"

"What did you say, brat?" Bullet suddenly lunged toward the cell entrance. It had been a long time since he had felt this angry.

The Seastone chains dragged violently, shaking the entire cell.

At the side, Shiryu of the Rain felt that his captain was truly fierce. Every word he spoke was shocking.

But it suited Shiryu of the Rain's taste perfectly.

Luo Chen invited him, "Become my crewman, and I'll give you a future where you can soar."

"Hahaha~~" Douglas Bullet burst into laughter. "Kid, in the end, you still came to invite me to become your crewman!!"

"But I don't think much of a brat like you. No one in this world can become my captain. I am the strongest."

"Foolish confidence." Luo Chen narrowed his eyes as he gave his assessment.

He no longer paid attention to Douglas Bullet and led Shiryu of the Rain onward.

As Shiryu of the Rain passed Douglas Bullet's cell, his gaze locked tightly onto Douglas Bullet.

Douglas Bullet's gaze was likewise fixed on Shiryu of the Rain.

The two stared at each other from afar.
