Back to Impel Down

Hearing this,

Roya was immediately astonished.

The Byakugan he had just dismissed had mutated into a Tenseigan in the blink of an eye?

This was truly a huge surprise.

After all, in the world of Naruto, the Tenseigan was an ultimate ocular power that could only be awakened by combining the chakra of the Otsutsuki Clan with the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan. It possessed the power to destroy and create worlds!

It could control gravitational and repulsive forces, and its power was so immense that it could even manipulate the moon!

Now, with all of his Haki abilities, the Marine Six Powers, two Fruit powers, and this Rinnegan, it was practically like having divine assistance.

After the excitement faded,

Roya began training.

As the warship sped across the sea for several days,

Roya had just stopped training to take a break

when the system's voice rang out.

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your Venom-Venom Fruit power has advanced to intermediate level! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your Dark-Dark Fruit power has advanced to advanced level! ]

Well, damn!

Both Fruit powers had improved at the same time.

That counted as double happiness!

But the system notifications did not stop there.

Immediately afterward,

[ Ding! Your Venom-Venom Fruit has been stimulated by the breakthrough of your Dark-Dark Fruit. In order to become one of your many powerful abilities, the Venom-Venom Fruit has decided to work even harder! ]

[ Congratulations, Host. The automatic training speed of your Venom-Venom Fruit has increased fivefold! ]

Well, damn!

That could be stimulated too?

Still, this was all pretty good. Roya was very satisfied and even praised the system.

"Rear Admiral Roya, we have arrived at Impel Down!" a Marine came to report.

"Good!"

Roya responded and walked out.

As he disembarked, he ordered the Marines to bring down Jack the Drought and Donquixote Doflamingo as well.

However,

the one who came to greet Roya was not Magellan, but a lowly guard.

"Stop! What are you doing at Impel Down? We haven't received any notice from the Marines lately about prisoners being escorted here!" The guard stepped forward to stop them.

That was indeed true.

Impel Down had its own rules. Even if prisoners needed to be escorted here, advance notice was required.

Although Roya was a Marine rear admiral, he truly had not sent any notice before coming here.

"Have Magellan come out. Tell him Roya is here!" Roya shot the guard a glare.

The guard was intimidated by Roya's gaze. Anyone who could call Magellan by name was definitely someone he could not afford to offend, so he wisely hurried inside to report it.

Not long after,

Magellan rushed out with his subordinates.

"Rear Admiral Roya, what wind has brought you here again?" Magellan said with a smile, though it looked somewhat awkward, as if he had forced it onto his face.

Ever since Magellan had witnessed Roya's strength last time, his attitude toward him had completely changed.

Otherwise, given Magellan's temperament, when ordinary Marines came, notification or not, how could he possibly come out to greet them so quickly, much less greet them with a pleasant expression?

But Roya was different.

Magellan knew that Roya's strength was unfathomable. To Magellan, befriending someone this powerful could only bring benefits and no harm.

Roya merely smiled and nodded in response to Magellan's attitude.

"Rear Admiral Roya, what have you come here for this time? Is it because of Fire Fist Ace? Don't worry, Fire Fist Ace is here with me and there isn't the slightest problem," Magellan said.

"It isn't about Fire Fist Ace."

Roya shook his head and turned to look at Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack the Drought behind him. "I brought several prisoners today. They need to be locked up in Infinite Hell!"

"Prisoners for Infinite Hell? But I haven't received any word from Marine Headquarters!" Magellan asked in confusion.

After all,

those who could be imprisoned in Infinite Hell at Impel Down were all renowned great pirates.

If that was the case, Marine Headquarters would certainly contact Impel Down in advance, just as they had with Fire Fist Ace before.

Yet this time, they had not.

However, when Magellan looked at Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack the Drought, he froze.

"Donquixote Doflamingo of the Seven Warlords? And Jack the Drought of the Beasts Pirates?" Magellan's eyes widened. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.

They were the ones being sent to Infinite Hell?

Magellan could understand why they were being locked in Infinite Hell. After all, they were both genuine great pirates and dangerous figures: one was Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords, while the other was Jack the Drought, one of the Three Calamities under the Four Emperors' Beasts Pirates, with a bounty of one billion.

What Magellan could not understand was that, logically speaking, if these two "important figures" had been captured and were to be imprisoned in Impel Down, he should have received word beforehand.

Not only had he received no advance notice, but he was also suspicious of Roya. Magellan looked at Roya in astonishment, his eyes full of confusion.

"That's right, I captured them. I originally went to Dressrosa to summon Donquixote Doflamingo as one of the Seven Warlords, but I discovered that he was secretly trading with a Four Emperor. That was already illegal, so I captured them while I was at it," Roya explained calmly, immediately seeing through Magellan's doubts.

Captured them while you were at it?

Are you kidding me?

One was a Seven Warlord, and the other was one of the Three Calamities under a Four Emperor. Yet you casually said that you captured them while you were at it?

How sarcastic could you be?

That was what Magellan was thinking.

Most importantly, Magellan could not help admiring Roya's strength even more at that moment.

Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack the Drought were both famous great pirates in this world, and their strength was naturally among the very best. Seeing that Roya was completely uninjured, Magellan truly believed that, with Roya's strength, he really had captured them "while he was at it."

Then,

they did not waste any more words.

As the warden, since the prisoners had already been brought here, no matter how influential they had been outside, once they entered Impel Down, they were nothing more than prisoners in Magellan's eyes.

And so,

Roya once again followed Magellan down to Infinite Hell on the sixth underground level.

After arriving in Infinite Hell, the great pirates inside could not help growing tense when they saw that Roya had come again.

When they saw the captured Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack the Drought, those great pirates were utterly dumbfounded and did not even dare say a word.
