She Dared Not Meet Moke's Gaze

She even immediately avoided eye contact with Moke.

As night fell, the moonlight, like water, poured down, softly enveloping the entire room. Moke's large, slightly cool hands, like light butterflies, roamed erratically over her flat, soft belly. This gentle touch was like a breeze lightly brushing across a lake, stirring up ripples.

After a passionate night, time flew by, and it was already the next morning. Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window, spilling onto the disheveled bed. Moke and she were immersed in the undulating waves of their love, fully enjoying the pleasure and satisfaction they brought each other. However, happy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the third day.

According to their pre-arranged plan, tonight should have been the day Moke had been dreaming of, the day his wish would come true. But at this crucial moment, a sudden order shattered all his beautiful illusions— Sengoku issued an emergency assembly order!

Upon hearing this news, Moke cursed Dark-Dark Fruit, "Damn it! Why did it have to happen at this crucial moment..." He muttered a curse under his breath, then turned to Boa Hancock beside him, his expression grave as he instructed, "Darling, when we get to people, we'd better pretend we don't know each other. I have something very important to take care of today, and if people find out about our relationship, it might implicate your Amazon Lily."

Boa Hancock was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, a look of surprise appearing on her face. But she quickly recovered and nodded without hesitation, replying, "Whatever you need to do, I will do my best to help."

Moke gently shook his head, reaching out to stroke Boa Hancock's silky smooth hair, and said softly, "This matter is of utmost importance, involving far-reaching implications. If you were to get involved, it could very well bring annihilation to your Amazon Lily. Therefore, you should simply observe quietly from the sidelines..."

After hearing Moke's words, Boa Hancock's brows furrowed slightly, her beautiful eyes flickering with uncertainty. She seemed to be undergoing a fierce internal struggle, contemplating her choice. Finally, as if having made up her mind, she tightly grasped Moke's hand and whispered, "No matter what, I will always support you."

As they walked to the Shichibukai's meeting room, the two deliberately maintained a "strange" demeanor, as if they had never crossed paths before.

As they entered the conference room, they saw Fleet Admiral Sengoku already seated there, his expression grave as he stared at the door. Not only that, but Vice Admiral Garp, Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Akainu, Admiral Aokiji, and a host of other high-ranking Navy officers were also present, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere throughout the room.

Such a powerful lineup made even the usually audacious Moke's heart skip a beat. He quickly scanned his surroundings, his gaze first falling on Doflamingo's arrogant figure, then shifting to Hawkeye's sharp, eagle-like Hawkeye, and then catching sight of the gloomy-faced Blackbeard. However, at that moment, someone he never expected appeared in his line of sight—it was Kuma!

Moke's pupils involuntarily contracted sharply, and he thought to himself in alarm, "Even the bear is here... It seems that the situation is really very critical this time!" He knew that since all the Shichibukai had been summoned here, the Whitebeard Pirates were probably already very close to the Marine Headquarters.

As he had expected, Fleet Admiral Sengoku Gate of Opening to the point. "Gentlemen, through our reconnaissance and tracking, we have discovered the exact location of the Whitebeard Pirates. They are currently approaching our Marine Headquarters at full speed and are quite close. Therefore, I hope that all of you Shichibukai will cooperate with our Marines to jointly resist the Whitebeard Pirates' attack."

Now that the situation has developed to such a tense and perilous point, everyone present is filled with unease in the face of this nerve-wracking situation. How could they dare to hesitate or rashly express their refusal?

Led by the imposing figure of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, everyone stood up and filed out of the tense meeting room. They hurried towards the heavily fortified and well-defended port. Everyone knew that what lay ahead was a terrifying and fierce battle.

At this moment, on one side of the port, Dracule Mihawk stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his eyes sharp as an eagle's; Doflamingo, on the other hand, looked arrogant, a mysterious smile playing on his lips; Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach had a gloomy expression, radiating a dangerous aura; Bartholomew Kuma was tall and imposing, silent yet exuding an invisible pressure; Boa Hancock was charming and alluring, but her beautiful appearance concealed immense strength; Moke had a cunning look on his face, seemingly plotting something in secret; and there was also Enel, the "Raijin" from Sky Island, with his arms crossed, arrogantly looking down below.

These powerful figures stood there silently, like a Whitebeard Pirates. However, at that moment, Blackbeard, who had been waiting quietly, suddenly strode towards Sengoku. After approaching Sengoku, he spoke a few words to him in a low voice, then turned and left without hesitation.

Seeing this, a subtle, almost imperceptible smile crept onto Moke's lips. Others might find it strange, but to him, who knew the inside story, the reason was crystal clear—this cunning Blackbeard had clearly found an excuse to escape the surveillance of Sengoku and the Three Admirals of the Marine Headquarters. Undoubtedly, he had ulterior motives. He was probably planning to infiltrate Impel Down undetected and cause a major disturbance, according to his pre-ordained plan!

Moke tilted his head slightly, his gaze quickly shifting to Enel, and gave him a meaningful look. Enel understood immediately, and with nimble and subtle movements, he moved his body, cleverly blocking the view of the others around him.

In that instant, a strange light suddenly emanated from Moke's body, followed by an astonishing transformation. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a puddle of soft mud, seemingly boneless, slowly flowing onto the ground. Then, as if possessing a life of its own, the mud rapidly seeped into the earth, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only a mud clone identical to Moke in place.

This amazing ability didn't come out of thin air; it was developed by Moke after a long period of research and practice, using Cracker's biscuit Biscuit Soldier as a model. This earth clone not only looks exactly like Moke himself, but even the smallest details are identical, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. Even more astonishing is that it possesses powerful combat abilities, capable of unleashing various attack methods just like a real Biscuit Soldier. Moreover, this earth clone has considerable strength, enough to handle the challenges of some ordinary enemies.

Moke moved swiftly underground, like a nimble eel, and in no time arrived at the most remote corner of Marine Headquarters. It was almost deserted, eerily quiet. Moke silently emerged from the ground, carefully surveyed his surroundings, and only after confirming it was safe did he slowly stand up. Then, he raised his hand, stretched out his arm, and held his palm towards the sun. Sunlight fell upon his hand, casting a golden glow.

His entire body Shine with dazzling light, instantly transforming him into a powerful light-elemental ability user. Immediately afterward, his body became an incomparably bright beam of light, streaking through the sky at astonishing speed, heading straight towards Impel Down.

The reason for his haste was that he had to arrive at Impel Down before the infamous Blackbeard, and also to act quickly to recruit as many key figures as possible.

Katarina Catarina Devon, this ruthless woman; Bacchus Vasco Shot, the Great Drinker, a heavy drinker yet formidable in strength; Avalo Pizarro, the Corrupt King, whose cruelty strikes fear into the hearts of all; Shiryu of the Rain, a master swordsman with unparalleled skill and ruthless compassion; Bondi World, a madman with terrifying destructive power; Wrath Bullet, an unparalleled warrior of astonishing strength; and the Red the Aloof, a mysterious and powerful being.

Of course, there's also Jinbe, who had already been imprisoned in Impel Down. These people are all top-tier fighters, each possessing extraordinary strength and unique abilities. In particular, Jinbe, Shiryu of the Rain, Bondi World, Wrath Bullet, and Red the Aloof are among the best of the best.

If they could successfully recruit even just one of them to their side, then this adventure, full of unknowns and dangers, would not have been a waste of effort and energy. Moreover, among the group in front of them, apart from extremely difficult-to-manage and control characters like Bondi World, Wrath Bullet, and Red the Aloof, the rest were indeed easier to recruit.

With a well-thought-out and ingenious strategy, he was certain of success. He was confident and assured of this. Once he brought these men under his command, the benefits would extend far beyond simply inflicting a heavy blow on Blackbeard. More importantly, his painstakingly built pirate crew would truly mature and become fully established. At that point, it would not only possess the strength to rival any of the renowned Four Emperors' pirate crews, but also ensure a sufficient manpower to protect its territory.

Moke's ambitions are obvious... After this operation, he intends to achieve his goal in one fell swoop, to gain a foothold in this Wind Rises New World full of powerful figures, and to ascend to the throne of the Fifth Emperor!

The distance between Marine Headquarters and the infamous, notorious Impel Down is not actually as far as one might imagine. If measured in terms of the speed of light, this distance would be but a fleeting moment for the exceptionally powerful and unfathomable Moke.

As expected, not much time passed. Moke, like a bolt of Inazuma tearing Impel Down the sky, arrived at the vast area above Impel Down with unparalleled speed and power, like a Zhou Yu. However, to his complete surprise, in that instant, a terrifying scene, like a flood bursting its banks, burst into his vision without any warning.

Upon closer inspection, the legendary hero Garp, renowned for his bravery and decisiveness, now had a taut face, his expression so somber it seemed to drip water. His serious and solemn demeanor inspired awe. He was tightly holding Ace's hand, his steps steady and unwavering, each step seeming to tread on the heartstrings of those around him.

Ace appeared somewhat haggard and weak, but his eyes remained sharp as knives, revealing a stubbornness and resilience that refused to succumb to fate. The shackles in Garp's hands gleamed with a cold light, firmly binding Ace's hands and feet, seemingly symbolizing an inescapable shackle of destiny.

The enormous warship they were heading towards resembled a steel behemoth looming across the sea, exuding a breathtaking aura of majesty. Its cannons stood erect in a menacing array, and its flags fluttered in the wind, as if proclaiming its power and inviolability to the world.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a deep rumble, the enormous warship slowly started up and, without hesitation, cut through the waves along a straight course towards the Marine Headquarters.

Seeing this, Moke narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "This is exactly the same plot as in the original work..." According to the original story, once Ace is taken to Marine Headquarters, it won't be long before he's mercilessly led to the Execution Platform. At the same time, Marine Headquarters will broadcast the event live, revealing Ace's unknown true identity to the world. Then, the Four Seas Might-Shaker Whitebeard Pirates will make their grand entrance, and an earth-shattering battle will begin, shaking the entire world!

However, at this moment, these questions were not yet on Moke's mind. Just as Garp's warship was sailing further and further away, Moke landed straight on the port of Impel Down like an Inazuma. Then, with astonishing speed, he once again used his magical ability, his body instantly merging with the ground, and then surging straight into the interior of Impel Down like an invisible torrent.

As Moke silently appeared inside Impel Down, an intense heat suddenly assaulted him, as if it would incinerate him completely. This heat was extremely uncomfortable, making even breathing difficult...

As is well known, Impel Down, has a unique floor layout: Floor 1 above the sea and Floor 1 underground together form Crimson Hell; Floor 2 underground is Beasts' Hell, where ferocious beasts roam; Floor 3 underground is Starvation Hell, filled with hunger and despair; next is Floor 4 underground— the Blazing Hell that strikes fear into the hearts of all; further down is the icy Floor 5 underground— Freezing Hell; and on Floor 5.5 underground, there exists a special area— Newkama Land; finally, the lowest floor, Floor 6 underground, is known as Infinite Hell.

Right now, the burning sensation that made Moke uneasy was conveying a message to him with exceptional clarity and unmistakable certainty—he was now in that hellish, scorching place on the fourth basement level. Just as Moke was about to muster the courage to continue exploring deeper, suddenly, a deafening, rapid cracking sound of a whip echoed throughout the entire space.

The heart-wrenching cries rose and fell like surging waves, one after another, never ceasing. Each mournful cry was more piercing than the last, each wave higher than the last, seemingly driven by a powerful desire to break free and soar into the sky. Such terrifying and chilling sounds permeated the air, as if penetrating the very soul, sending shivers down one's spine.

Moke's tense nerves were instantly gripped by the sudden screams. He couldn't suppress the overwhelming curiosity surging within him and instinctively leaned forward to see what was happening. However, as the saying goes, you don't know until you see it. What he saw terrified him to the core!

Not far ahead, a woman with a voluptuous figure was wielding a long whip, lashing it madly at the prisoner in front of her. The whip whistled through the air, each strike accompanied by a sharp gust of wind, landing heavily on the prisoner's body and leaving gruesome bloody welts.

Without a doubt, this woman is using an extremely cruel and unique method to torture the prisoner into confessing. However, this seemingly ordinary scene of torture is actually full of hidden secrets and many unexpected aspects.

Just as Moke caught a fleeting glance, his heart skipped a beat, and he instantly recognized the ruthless and chilling woman before him— Sadi. Speaking of Sadi, she was undoubtedly a renowned and Might-Shaker figure!

She not only holds a crucial position as the Chief Jailer of Impel Down, but also commands the four powerful Jailer Beasts of Impel Down Level 4, "Blazing Hell." The power she wields is so great that it rivals that of the warden.

Looking at Sadi herself, her golden curly hair, like surging ocean waves, flowed smoothly over her beautifully shaped shoulders. The slightly curled strands seemed to come alive, swaying gently from time to time, radiating a charming and dazzling luster.

In the brief, unintentional glance she gave Moke, his heart suddenly felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, a powerful tremor instantly spreading throughout his body. In that single, fleeting glance, he immediately recognized the chilling woman before him— Sadi.

Speaking of Sadi, her name is truly legendary and renowned! She is a famous and powerful figure in this field! Not only does she bear the heavy responsibility of serving as the Chief Jailer of the crucial Impel Down, she also commands the four incredibly Might-Shaker Jailer Beasts of Impel Down Level 4, "Blazing Hell," becoming their commander. The power she wields is so immense that it is comparable to that of the warden, equally matched, and in no way inferior.

Now, looking closely at Sadi herself, one sees her golden curls flowing like surging waves, cascading smoothly over her beautifully contoured shoulders. The slightly curled strands seem to possess their own independent life, swaying gently from time to time, each movement radiating a captivating and dazzling luster, like twinkling stars in the night sky. This luster is both soft and bright, making everything around her seem dim in comparison. Her bangs are unusually long, almost completely obscuring her bright and captivating eyes. Yet, even so, when one peeks through the narrow gaps in those long, thin strands of hair, one can still vaguely catch glimpses of the cold light that occasionally flashes in her eyes. That light is like the biting cold wind of a winter's day, sending chills down one's spine.

She wore a pair of white, candle-shaped earrings that swayed gently with her movements, giving off an eerie and mysterious aura. She wore a peach-pink, tight-fitting leather outfit that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure, exuding endless charm and allure. However, at the same time, her spiked high heels were intimidating, as if one might be pricked by them at any moment.

It's worth mentioning that Sadi is no simple woman; she has a unique catchphrase—"Hmm." Whenever she hears the agonizing screams of her abused opponents, this catchphrase seems to flow uncontrollably from her beautiful yet ruthless lips. Moreover, with each heart-wrenching scream, Sadi seems to be ignited by some evil flame deep within her, instantly becoming abnormally excited. Her once beautiful face begins to twist and distort, becoming as ferocious and terrifying as a demon that has just crawled out of the abyss of hell.

In the original work... when she encountered the protagonist's group, a thrilling battle ensued. Especially during her confrontation with Emporio Ivankov, the "Okama King," who could freely change gender, the battle was incredibly intense! At that time, Sadi personally commanded a group of ferocious Jailer Beasts to launch a fierce attack on the enemy, but in the end, these Jailer Beasts were no match for the overwhelming strength of "Straw Hat" Luffy, "Knight of the Sea" Jinbe, and "Mr. 0" Crocodile, and were all defeated.

However, even after her men had been defeated, Sadi showed no sign of backing down. Instead, she fearlessly faced Emporio Ivankov and engaged him in a life-or-death struggle. Unfortunately, despite Sadi's best efforts, she was unable to defeat the powerful Emporio Ivankov. In the end, after her defeat, Sadi was bound and hung high in the air as a public spectacle.

It has to be said that Sadi is definitely one of the most unique female characters in the * One Piece * series. Many loyal fans rave about the scene where she was defeated and bound by Emporio Ivankov, suspended in mid-air. As for the reason behind it, well, I'm sure everyone knows perfectly well, so there's no need to elaborate! After all, some things are better left unsaid.
