I'll Go Get It

On the fourth basement level— the Blazing Hell —a tense atmosphere filled Magellan's office. At that moment, a guard rushed in, his face filled with panic. Without even knocking, he shouted, "Chief Magellan! Something terrible has happened! Someone has forcibly entered the Infinite Hell and released some of the prisoners!"

"How is that possible? That's a sacred object that only true powerhouses are qualified to touch! Where does this unknown kid with no background get the courage and audacity to be so arrogant? It's utterly delusional!" At this moment, a burly man with a face full of scars stepped forward. He stared with eyes the size of copper bells and loudly questioned the figure about to walk towards the Champion Bell with disdain.

"Exactly! I think he probably came here on purpose to cause trouble. He might even be mentally unstable, a complete madman!" A short man with a pointed face and monkey-like features next to the big man immediately chimed in, pointing at the figure's back as he spoke, his face revealing undisguised contempt and mockery.

"Hmph! A mere swordsman dares to challenge the fighting champion of Champion Island? Isn't that like throwing an egg against a rock, courting death? In my opinion, he won't even get close to the Champion Bell before he's beaten to a pulp!" On the other side, a richly dressed, slick-haired young nobleman waved his folding fan and mocked sarcastically. Instantly, a cacophony of sarcastic remarks and doubts rose and fell, surging towards the lone figure walking forward like a tide. However, the man seemed completely oblivious to this overwhelming negativity, continuing his unwavering stride towards the mysterious and solemn Champion Bell.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at this! This is quite something! It's been a long time since anyone dared to ring the Champion Bell, which symbolizes the highest honor! I really don't know who this guy is, to be so bold. Oh dear, whether he's a swordsman or a close-combat fighter, there's definitely going to be a good show today!" Various discussions and exclamations arose from the crowd from time to time, as noisy as a pot of boiling water.

However, Moke seemed oblivious to the noise and commotion around him, completely ignoring the pointing fingers and whispers. He walked forward with firm and steady steps, one after another, as if he had a clear goal in mind, and no external interference could shake his determination.

"Well... that makes sense. After all, any swordsman who dares to ring the Champion Bell must at least be Swordmaster master!" Someone else chimed in with this comment. But Moke ignored it completely, striding straight through the bustling crowd toward the location of the Champion Bell.

Finally, Moke arrived at the Champion Bell. He looked up at the tall and solemn bell, a resolute glint in his eyes. Then, without hesitation, he raised his right foot and kicked the bell with all his might.

"Dong--" A deep and resonant bell suddenly rang out, like the roar of a long-dormant beast, instantly spreading to every corner of the entire Fighting City. People who were still immersed in their own affairs stopped in astonishment upon hearing this sudden bell, and all turned their gazes toward the center of the city—the place where the Champion Bell was located.

"Could it be that someone actually wants to challenge for the championship?" This question caused a huge stir among the crowd. Immediately, all sorts of speculations flooded in, with people whispering and discussing amongst themselves. Some suspected it was just a prank; others were filled with anticipation, hoping to witness a spectacular duel; still others were simply curious and wanted to find out for themselves.

Magellan had been calmly working at his desk, jumped up as if struck by lightning upon hearing the news. His face showed disbelief, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "What?" His sharp gaze instantly turned fierce as he stared intently at the guard in front of him, as if trying to see through him to the truth.

In Magellan's mind, Impel Down had always been an impregnable fortress, as impenetrable as a fortress of bronze and iron. Since the legendary escape of the Shiki, no one had ever been able to escape from there successfully. Yet now, someone dared to break into this heavily guarded prison and even release prisoners, which was simply a blatant provocation against the authority of Impel Down.

What shocked and worried Magellan even more was that this time, the prisoners did not escape by their own means, but rather an outsider had infiltrated and carried out the rescue operation. This meant that the enemy was not only powerful and audacious, but also clearly had planned the operation meticulously. Thinking of this, Magellan's heart sank involuntarily, and an ominous premonition welled up in his mind.

He took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale all the surrounding air into his lungs to calm his turbulent inner world. However, despite this, the anxiety and unease in his heart remained as fervent as a burning flame.

Immediately afterward, he impatiently shouted at the guard, "Who exactly has been released? Tell me now! I need all the information!" At this moment, Magellan was extremely anxious, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, sliding down his cheeks, and soaking his clothes.

Faced with Magellan's urgent questioning, the guard dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly replied, "Those released include Jinbe, Shiryu, Katrin Vasco Shot, Avalo Pizarro, Patrick Redfield, and Wrath Bullet." As the guard uttered each name, Magellan's heart trembled involuntarily.

Among them, especially starting with Jinbe, each of their names was enough to strike fear into the hearts of men. Even with Magellan's immense strength and status, he had to take these people very seriously. But the most crucial ones were the last two— Redfield and Bullet.

Redfield, the legendary pirate who was active during the era of Gol D. Roger, possessed the awe-inspiring titles of "The Red the Aloof" and "The Red Count." With his extraordinary personal abilities, he was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, who Might-Shaker renowned Four Seas at the time.

One can only imagine how terrifying his strength truly was! This man, known as the "Devil's Heir" and hailed as the "Successor of the Demon," was a legendary figure and a former member of the renowned Roger Pirates. His strength was unparalleled; even his battle-hardened comrades in the Roger Pirates held him in awe, respectfully calling him a "monster."

Whether it's his unparalleled strength, his lightning-fast speed, his exquisite combat skills, or his rock-solid physical strength, everything he possesses has reached an impeccable level. More importantly, during the long, dark years spent in Impel Down, this guy never slacked off in the slightest, consistently undergoing rigorous, high-intensity training every day... As a result, he has undoubtedly become even more formidable and invincible. Just facing these two individuals is enough to give Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, a splitting headache. After all, even he himself knows very well that he has absolutely no confidence in defeating them.

... Two men charged menacingly towards him, their movements swift and agile, clearly not to be trifled with. However, Magellan showed no sign of backing down, for he knew the heavy responsibility of protecting Impel Down. Moreover, besides these two menacing intruders, there were also a host of powerful enemies, including Jinbe, Shiryu, Katrin Demi, Basque Vasco Shot, and Avalo Pizarro, all lurking in a menacing array. Especially the mysterious figure who had silently intruded, making Magellan even more wary.

At that moment, Magellan felt his hands tremble slightly, but this tension lasted only a moment. Soon, his eyes, which had been slightly panicked, became incredibly determined, as if burning with fierce fighting spirit. As the warden of Impel Down, he absolutely could not allow anyone to disrupt the peace and order of this prison!

Magellan took a deep breath and resolutely strode forward. Each step he took was steady and powerful, as if the ground beneath his feet trembled at his determination. He gripped his weapon tightly, Dark-Dark Fruit vowing to stop these villains who were trying to invade Impel Down.

Over here, the group who had successfully escaped the Infinite Hell filed out, each face beaming with barely suppressed excitement. Shiryu, unable to contain his excitement, spoke first, "Captain, I'll go ahead and retrieve my sword..." Before he could finish, Moke nodded slightly in agreement. However, at that moment, Moke seemed to suddenly remember something important and quickly added, "Oh, right! There's one more thing, Shiryu, could you also capture that Sadi for me? From now on, she'll be our ship's interrogator."

Upon hearing this, Shiryu paused slightly, then smiled knowingly. His smile grew increasingly wicked, even revealing a cunning only a man could understand. "Hehe, Captain, rest assured, I will deliver this Sadi to you intact and unharmed." Shiryu emphasized the words "Fudō," the implication clear. Moke offered no objection to Shiryu's words; after all, he only wanted a woman—why bother with such secrecy?

This group was exceptionally strong; even the weakest member possessed combat power comparable to Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral. With such a terrifying lineup, they naturally rampaged through the enemy ranks, unstoppable. Before long, they had reached the fourth level— the Magma Hell —as if entering an empty field. And this was precisely where Magellan was located. From afar, one could see Magellan Shoichi holding the pass between the fifth and fourth levels.

Just as Moke and his group stepped into the area, the figure suddenly appeared like a ghost. Without hesitation, he decisively attacked! He uttered a low shout, "Poison Cloud..." Then, a shocking scene unfolded—his body seemed to transform into a massive source of poison, continuously releasing large amounts of dark green toxic gas. This gas rapidly spread and swept towards Moke and his companions at an astonishing speed, engulfing them entirely in the blink of an eye.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Moke raised an eyebrow slightly. He had to admit that Magellan's Paramecia - Venom-Venom Fruit was indeed extraordinary. Although its side effects were considerable, earning it the somewhat mocking nickname "Toilet-Toilet Fruit," no one could ignore its terrifying power. Especially in a relatively enclosed space like this, the Venom-Venom Fruit's destructive power was truly formidable! Even the powerful Redfield and Bullet couldn't help but frown. As members of Impel Down, they had suffered greatly at the hands of Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit. Therefore, they were acutely aware of its Devil Fruit.

However, before anyone could react, Jinbe took a large step forward without hesitation, firmly blocking everyone's path. His muscles were taut, his arms slightly bent, assuming a fierce stance ready to launch an attack at any moment... But his actions were quickly stopped by Moke.

Then, everyone's eyes were fixed on Moke. He looked solemn and steadily stretched out one hand. Instantly, the mysterious and powerful Absorb-Absorb Fruit was activated.

Standing to the side, Katrin Deme, Basque Vasco Shot, Abarro Pizarro, Redfield, and Bullet, among others, held their breath, silently watching the scene unfold before them. Each of them was filled with curiosity and anticipation, eager to witness firsthand the true extent of Moke's power.

The next second, something astonishing happened. After Moke successfully activated his ability, an extremely strange energy suddenly emerged from his palm. This energy flowed and swirled continuously, eventually forming a bottomless vortex. In an instant, an incredibly powerful suction force erupted from the center of the vortex.

The poisonous gas that Magellan had initially released seemed to be drawn by an irresistible force, converging towards the vortex. All the gas seemed to have found its home, being absorbed without exception. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding space became fresh, and not a trace of poisonous gas could be felt.

However, this was only the beginning. As the poisonous gas continued to pour into the vortex, everyone present grew increasingly astonished. To their disbelief, Moke's hands began to undergo a strange transformation. At first, only a faint green glow appeared on his skin, but this glow quickly spread to his entire arm.

Kaido swung his Inazuma -infused spiked club with Inazuma speed, bringing it down with overwhelming force towards Moke. This attack was undoubtedly Kaido's signature move; its sheer power seemed to tear the world apart, leaving everyone speechless. Moreover, the technique was incredibly cool and dazzling, a visual feast for the eyes.

This move is incredibly powerful. In the original story, a single strike knocked Luffy, who was in Gear Fourth form, to the ground, leaving him utterly helpless. Even more astonishing is that the Thunder Bagua, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, can attack from a distance and even penetrate two targets at once, its power truly beyond imagination.

Moreover, this technique has an even more astonishing feature: it can activate the body with lightning, making Kaido's speed as fast as Inazuma, almost to the point of teleportation. Even Luffy, who possesses Observation Haki that allows him to Future Sight, cannot completely dodge this attack.

In the blink of an eye, Kaido appeared before Moke like a ghost. His spiked club, like a mountain crushing an egg, came crashing down on Moke's face.

"Holy crap..." Moke was startled upon seeing this and blurted out an exclamation. He never expected Kaido to be so fast; the attack was fierce and unavoidable. However, Moke was a veteran of countless battles, and his reaction speed was top-notch.

Just as the spiked club was about to strike him, Moke suddenly swung his Shusui sword, which flashed like a meteor across the night sky, instantly meeting Kaido's attack head-on. At the same time, his Armament Haki instantly enveloped Shusui, making the attack even more powerful.

After the One Piece Summit War, One Piece officially ushered in a new era. Characters like Whitebeard began to slowly fade into the background, and the Navy also began a new round of personnel changes.

Akainu defeated Aokiji and became the new Fleet Admiral of the Marines. However, despite this, Akainu always seemed to fall short of Sengoku's level after becoming Marine Admiral. # One Piece #

It's not that Akainu's strength is unworthy of being the Fleet Admiral, it's just that his appointment as Akainu Fleet Admiral feels somewhat abrupt.

Even now that Akainu is the Fleet Admiral, many people can still boss Akainu around. If it were when Akainu was still Marine Admiral, I'd like to see who would dare to be so presumptuous.

It seems that the Navy began its organizational structure after entering the New World. After Sengoku stepped down as Fleet Admiral, we gradually discovered that in the New World, the World Government had many other agencies and organizations, some of which were on par with the Navy, and some of which were superior to the Navy.

People from before the Sengoku, as well as those who announced their retirement, would report to the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Kong. However, Akainu always bypassed Kong and reported directly to the Five Elders.

On the surface, Akainu Fleet Admiral has been elevated, but in reality, for the Five Elders, the Navy is merely a subordinate relationship.

During the Summit War, Whitebeard led his crew to rescue Ace, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. His statement that there was no ship in the new era capable of carrying him resonated deeply with countless people.

The same applies to Sengoku the Buddha, the former Fleet Admiral, who retired to the second line at the age of 79, a fitting end for him.

After Akainu won the battle for the position of Fleet Admiral against Aokiji, he did not show much respect for the former Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Why was there such a huge difference in attitude?

In Sakazuki's mind, one is one, two is two, black is black, and white is white. There is absolutely no gray in between.

Based on this understanding, during the Summit War, he was the most dedicated of the Three Admirals in their attempts to Whitebeard, and at one point, he even fought Whitebeard to a standstill.

Aokiji and Kizaru, also Three Admirals, only symbolically launched some attacks against Whitebeard; most of Whitebeard's attacks were absorbed by Akainu.

After the Summit War, Sengoku applied to step down, and Akainu took over as the new Fleet Admiral. However, Feng Summit War did not treat his former Sengoku, well.

This is precisely Akainu's flaw in character; he is completely straightforward and never minces words.

This kind of personality might be a good asset for Marine Admiral, enabling them to thoroughly implement their beliefs.

Even though Akainu didn't buy it at all, as the World Government's intelligence agency, CP0 seemed to be above the Navy, and Rob Lucci was just an officer.

A CP9 officer who returned to CP0 and was defeated by Luffy still exudes confidence even when facing the Fleet Admiral. This is undoubtedly a significant blow to Akainu. Rob Lucci's willingness to directly command Akainu is something others find unacceptable.

As the Navy's top combat force, Sengoku, like Akainu, started from the ranks of a common soldier and gradually rose through the Sengoku to become the Fleet Admiral. However, before becoming the Fleet Admiral, Sengoku experienced far more battles than Akainu and defeated more enemies than Akainu.

While Akainu's performance in the Summit War was undoubtedly outstanding, people ultimately only remembered Blackbeard acquiring the Akainu being utterly defeated by Whitebeard. Therefore, Akainu needed a victory to defend his success.

Sengoku and Garp are arguably the best duo. Putting aside their pursuit of Roger, their ability to defeat Golden Lion Shiki together speaks volumes about their glorious achievements. Therefore, what Akainu needs is the ability to defeat an epic-level pirate to safeguard his position as Fleet Admiral.

After he became Fleet Admiral, many events could no longer be handled by him in such a straightforward, black-and-white manner.

Sengoku's attempt to persuade Akainu was intended to offer him some relevant advice, but Akainu, who was in a fit of anger, didn't appreciate it and instead yelled, "Shut up, you semi-recluse!"

Akainu's ideal is to uphold Absolute Justice in black and white terms, but the real world always delivers a merciless blow to him.

Aokiji's philosophy is consistent with that of Sengoku; he does not exterminate pirates but always acts according to the circumstances.

This idea is the exact opposite of Akainu's, and in order to trust the position of Fleet Admiral, the two had a great battle.

The Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders unanimously support Akainu, the executioner, in clearing away all obstacles for themselves.

However, Sengoku, as the outgoing Fleet Admiral, consistently recommended Aokiji as the most suitable Fleet Admiral.

Based on this recommendation, the World Government had no choice but to consider it, which led to the Battle of Icefire Island.

The battle ended with Akainu breaking one of Aokiji's legs, and Akainu also recruited the new Fleet Admiral of the Navy.
