All the prisoners stared at the young figure, their faces filled with deep fear.
Opening his mouth meant killing them all; this guy's bloodthirstiness is terrifying.
What's even more terrifying is that this person actually has the ability to kill them all.
"Yes, Luo Wen! It really Luo Wen!"
Don Krieg was somewhat bewildered when he saw Luo Wen appear before him.
Although Luo Wen had changed slightly, he would still recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes.
After a few months apart, he had only lost a little weight from his time in prison, but Luo Wen's transformation was earth-shattering.
In just a few months, he went from being the strongest bounty hunter in the East Blue to daring to storm Impel Down.
What's wrong with this world? How could it be so crazy!
"Boss, it looks like he's planning to kill us all. What do we do?"
Gin was also a little confused.
Meeting Luo Wen in Impel Down in this way is a bit too exciting.
"What do we do? Just wait to die!"
Don Krieg chose to lie down and wait to die.
When Luo Wen was a bounty hunter in the East Blue, he killed the remaining hundred of Lowen's men with a single sword stroke.
Now that he's arrived at Impel Down, he doesn't believe Luo Wen will hold back.
"Lord Luo Wen, please don't kill me! I'm a good person!"
"Luo Wen, please don't kill me! I'll follow you!"
"Luo Wen, I'm your dog! Don't kill me!"
In the first level of the Red Lotus Hell, countless prisoners clung to the iron bars, frantically begging for mercy from Luo Wen.
"..."
Looking at the prisoners' pleas for mercy, Luo Wen's eyes remained cold.
These pirates fawned over him, unaware of how many people they had killed and how many evil deeds they had committed before they entered.
If he were to actually recruit these people, what would be the point of building the Neo Marines?
He came here to eliminate pests, not to recruit a pest army. The only prisoners who can become his subordinates here are the powerful individuals he transforms into Heroic Spirit after death.
Looking at the prisoners, Luo Wen was about to take action.
Suddenly, he remembered something and stopped what he was doing.
There's Ivankov, the Okama King, who's part of the Revolutionary Army in Impel Down, and there should be other Revolutionary Army there as well.
After all, he's allied with Monkey D. Dragon; if we can save him, we should.
Luo Wen looked at Magellan and asked, "Are there any Revolutionary Army members here?"
Mager pointed to a prison area and said, "Yes, that whole area is full of them."
"Okay." Luo Wen nodded slightly, then walked to the area and said, "I am a collaborator of your Revolutionary Army. Come out and follow me."
As he spoke, Luo Wen drew his sword.
With a flash of light, more than a dozen iron pillars, each as thick as a child's arm, were broken into several pieces.
The Revolutionary Army inside were still somewhat bewildered and couldn't quite believe it.
They thought they were going to die, but they never expected that the person who came would be a collaborator of the Revolutionary Army.
However, this collaborator's style was far too wild; he actually tried to force his way into Impel Down.
This seemed quite different from their leader, who was always sweating.
"Thank you so much, Lord Luo Wen, for saving my life!"
A highly respected squad leader stepped forward to express his gratitude, and the other Revolutionary Army soldiers behind him also bowed.
Luo Wen nodded slightly and said casually, "I'll only save you this once. From now on, be careful, and don't blame me if you die."
"Yes, Luo Wen."
Many Revolutionary Army nodded in agreement.
They knew perfectly well that Luo Wen couldn't possibly be their nanny.
After all, their own leader hadn't come, so it was already more than enough that Luo Wen was willing to save them.
"Luo Wen Lowen, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Magellan walked up to Luo Wen and said with some difficulty.
Compared to other criminals, these people are somewhat better off; they are considered political prisoners.
But political prisoners can't just be released arbitrarily!
"There's nothing wrong with that. You'll be working for me from now on, so they'll be your colleagues."
Luo Wen patted Magellan on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
"I haven't agreed to follow you yet, have I?"
Magellan said with some distress.
He just said he'd think about it, how did he suddenly become Luo Wen's man?
"You can also attack me and see what happens."
Luo Wen chuckled and said.
"..."
Magellan was speechless.
If, before Luo Wen killed Shiryu, he still had the will to fight.
After seeing Luo Wen kill Shiryu with two slashes, he knew he was no match for him.
Since Luo Wen confidently claimed he could resolve the side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit, it's likely his Venom-Venom Fruit wouldn't be of much use.
Magellan sighed and said, "Then I'll follow you. But if you release anyone other than the Revolutionary Army, I'll fight you to the death."
"Don't worry, I have absolutely no liking for criminals," Luo Wen said with a smile. "Next, all the criminals here will be killed!"
"I remind you, many of the criminals imprisoned in Impel Down are Devil Fruit User. The World Government imprisons them instead of killing them directly because they fear that those fruits will be reborn and spread throughout the world," Magellan warned.
"..."
Luo Wen fell into thought.
He knew Magellan was telling the truth, and he had his own way of dealing with it.
That is to directly transform those exceptionally powerful Devil Fruit User into Heroic Spirit, to be at his command.
Even after Nami, Tashigi, and Vivi were transformed into Heroic Spirit Body, their Devil Fruit Ability remained.
However, when he tried to summon Enel's Heroic Spirit, Enel had lost his Devil Fruit Ability. (The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was eaten by Gion.)
This means that when a living person is transformed into Heroic Spirit, the Devil Fruit within them will not be reborn.
When he summoned Kozuki Toki, Kozuki Toki still possessed the abilities of the Time-Time Fruit.
This also shows that even if Devil Fruit is reborn, as long as it isn't eaten, it will return to its former owner.
After all, Devil Fruit only revive after their previous owners die, but what if the previous owner comes back to life?
Without a new host, the natural course of action is to go back to the former owner.
This is equivalent to exploiting a bug.
However, this method cannot be used frequently; it should only be used by a few exceptionally powerful individuals.
Although his Heroic Spirit is quite large, probably around three thousand to be considered full, it's not a place where just any nobody can get in.
Those with more ordinary Devil Fruit User will have to find other ways.
Luo Wen's eyes flashed, and he asked Magellan, "Magellan, Blackbeard in this prison?"
"That's right, I just locked him up not long ago. Even if Shiryu releases him, he definitely won't run away."
Magellan answered seriously.
"Then there's no problem."
Luo Wen smiled.
Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit ability allows him to recycle and reuse other Devil Fruit.
If we capture Blackbeard and transform him into Heroic Spirit, he'll be a Devil Fruit recycling machine.
There's no need to worry about Devil Fruit being reborn all over the world; his subordinates will also have a large number of powerful Devil Fruit users.
The legion of ability users that Kaido longs for will be realized here.
