Shiryu looked at Magellan in disbelief.
He couldn't understand why Magellan and Luo Wen had gotten involved in such a short time.
Magellan is clearly the most responsible warden of Impel Down, so why would he stand with the World Government's greatest enemy to fight against him?
Magellan, you told me to come up here and fight the invaders, but now I'm fighting the invaders with them!
Could it be that Magellan, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, has already betrayed us?!
"Please calm down, both of you. I was just joking." Shiryu looked at the two of them and said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, I came here to seek refuge with Luo Wen. I couldn't stand being in Impel Down for a long time!"
"So, you've been planning to betray us all along. I can't let you live today!"
Magellan roared.
"You're allowed to defect to the enemy, Magellan, but I, Shiryu, am not? How can you be so unreasonable!"
Shiryu felt extremely wronged.
Magellan clearly defected to the enemy, so why did you insist on stopping him from doing so?
Just because you, Magellan, are the warden, do you think you can bully a mere deputy warden?
Magellan looked at Shiryu and roared angrily, "I told you to come up here and help me stop them, not to release the prisoners!"
"If you hadn't caused such a huge mess, I wouldn't have cooperated with Lord Luo Wen!"
He never expected that Shiryu would release all those prisoners.
Even if he used all his strength, he wouldn't be confident of defeating all the prisoners from the sixth level of Impel Down.
If those people were allowed to escape, the damage they would cause to the world would be immeasurable.
Those were criminals the World Government had been holding for decades; once they were exposed, even the World Government would find it difficult to deal with them.
If the situation hadn't been so urgent, he would never have accepted Luo Wen's invitation to cooperate so quickly.
"Luo Wen, what do you think? I'm willing to follow you." Shiryu that Magellan couldn't persuade him, Shiryu turned to Luo Wen.
"I'm sorry, but I don't wish to accept your defection."
Luo Wen looked at Shiryu and smiled mockingly.
A bloodthirsty killer, and also a psychopathic madman.
He wouldn't deign to recruit someone like Shiryu while they're still alive.
Even if you kill them, they'll still have to work for you obediently.
"Hateful!"
Shiryu's face was extremely ugly; he hadn't expected that neither side would give him any face.
He looked around, searching for a chance to escape.
"Mr. Shiryu, stop struggling. I don't have time to play cat and mouse with you." Sensing the escalating unrest in Impel Down, Luo Wen said coldly, "Magellan, follow me and fight our way down! Kill all those pirates!"
"Yes, Your Luo Wen Lowen!"
Magellan readily agreed.
Having said that, Luo Wen drew his Shusui.
He slashed at Shiryu.
The blade flashed with Inazuma, coated with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki.
In an instant, it tore through the air and Shiryu.
"What!?"
Shiryu's pupils contracted sharply as he watched the slash before him.
He hadn't expected Luo Wen's strike to be so fast and powerful.
Since they're both swordsmen, why can't they have a head-on duel?
Is Luo Wen afraid?
Impossible, it's just that I don't consider him an opponent.
Just like a person doesn't notify an ant before stepping on it.
Shiryu felt deeply insulted.
What terrified him was that the gap between him and Luo Wen was truly like that between an ant and a human.
He had no time to dodge the attack before him, nor could he withstand it!
It was clearly just a single slash, yet it gave him a feeling that it was unstoppable.
He was also Supreme Swordsman, but he was certain that he couldn't unleash that strike, nor could he block it.
In the rush, Shiryu didn't even have time to draw his sword.
He could only hold the knife, sheath and all, in front of him to offer some defense.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the slash collided with Shiryu's sword, producing a tremendous roar.
Shiryu was blasted to the ground, suffering severe injuries.
The remaining strikes unleashed their full power, carving a trench tens of meters deep into the Impel Down.
At the deepest part of the ravine, the lights of the underground Red Lotus Prison can be faintly seen.
The prisoners in the Red Lotus Hell below felt a terrifying tremor. To their bewilderment, large amounts of wall dust rained down on their heads.
"Cough cough, what a monster!"
Shiryu struggled to his feet, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. He drew his Famous Sword, Raiu, and used it as a support against the ground.
Shiryu looked at the calm-faced Luo Wen, his heart filled with extreme horror.
Despite being a fellow Supreme Swordsman, he was left half-dead by a single strike from Luo Wen.
He couldn't understand why that slash, which was only coated with a layer of Armament Haki, was so powerful.
He felt that Luo Wen's swordsmanship had surpassed the realm of Supreme Swordsman, and that he had taken a step into the realm of the divine.
No wonder the World Government is filled with fear of Luo Wen; the tip of the Iceburg he has revealed is enough for many to look up to for a lifetime.
"Luo Wen Lowen, your strength is indeed astonishing."
Beside him, Magellan looked at Luo Wen with utter astonishment.
Shiryu's raw strength was almost equal to his own; he had only managed to restrain Shiryu by using his own potent poison.
Unexpectedly, Luo Wen was able to kill Shiryu with a single slash.
So dealing with him shouldn't be too troublesome.
No wonder Luo Wen dared to Impel Down alone; this strength was his greatest source of confidence.
Looking at Shiryu, who was barely standing, Luo Wen smiled approvingly and said, "To be able to withstand one of my blows and survive, you've got some skill."
As he spoke, Luo Wen raised his knife again.
"Wait, no!"
Seeing Luo Wen's actions, Shiryu fearfully called out to stop him.
He could beg for mercy; he still had a reason to live.
He has a high value, and he has to kill many people.
Who cares what the small fry thinks?
Luo Wen ignored everything and unleashed a smooth slash.
Damn it!
Shiryu cursed angrily and swung his Raiu to block the attack.
What Luo Wen said seemed somewhat familiar to him.
Those were the words he once spoke to those who died at his hands; he never imagined they would fall upon him today.
Is he just a nobody?
How could this be? He's clearly so powerful!
Shiryu his teeth, veins bulging on his arm, and swung his sword with all his might.
"Boom!"
The instant Shiryu's sword made contact with the slash.
With his sword drawn at full power, he was forced to retreat uncontrollably.
His hand bones snapped instantly, and Raiu's blade embedded itself in his chest, sending him flying backward.
The remaining strikes landed once again on the same ravine.
This time, the thick wall between the ground floor and the basement has been completely breached.
Shiryu his sword, was slashed down to the Red Lotus Hell on the first underground level.
This time, he was utterly and irrevocably dead.
In the Red Lotus Hell on the first underground level, a large number of pirates were terrified as they watched the suddenly falling corpses and the huge crack above their heads.
"That's the deputy warden, Shiryu of the Rain!"
Some of the prisoners recognized Shiryu's identity.
The bloodthirsty Shiryu always liked to execute prisoners on a whim, and when he went mad, he would even kill the jailers.
Even after Shiryu was imprisoned, his terrifying reputation among the prisoners remained very well-known.
Now, such a terrifying person had died right before their eyes.
"Who killed him, the invading Godslayer?"
All the prisoners looked at the huge crack in the ceiling, where sunlight and the sea breeze poured in.
The prisoners looked at the long-awaited light, but showed no joy.
Two figures leaped down from the crevice and stood before the group of prisoners.
One was the familiar warden Magellan, and the other was a tall, upright young man.
"Ah, there are so many prisoners here. It would be too much trouble if they escaped. Let's kill them all." Luo Wen looked at the densely packed prisoners and uttered a terrifying sentence.
