Magellan's Shock

Just as Roya finished making his vow.

Right after that.

The long-awaited system voice rang out as well.

[ Ding! Swordsmanship was deeply stimulated by the terrifying power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. Feeling ashamed for having held the host back, its training speed increased tenfold! ]

[ Ding! During the battle with Four Emperor Kaido, Armament Haki was deeply stimulated by Four Emperor Kaido's terrifying strength. To avoid holding back the host's power, its training speed increased tenfold! ]

[ Ding! ]

[ ... ]

A series of system notifications rang out.

Aside from Swordsmanship and Armament Haki receiving massive boosts, every other training category gained a one- to threefold increase in training speed.

Even Roya's "Tenseigan" received a onefold increase in training speed.

"Not bad, System!"

"You really keep giving me surprises!"

Roya could not help but praise the system with a smile.

However, since all these training categories had increased their training speeds, they could also further fuel Roya's own desire to grow stronger.

At the same time, Roya sighed. "I have to say, Four Emperor Kaido's physique is truly monstrous. If I could have the same physique too..."

Before his words had even fully faded.

The system's voice rang out again.

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for comprehending the essence of battle with Four Emperor Kaido and gaining profound insight. Physique Cultivation has awakened on its own, wishing only to contribute its share on the host's path to becoming the world's strongest.]

[ Physique Cultivation has activated fivefold automatic training speed! ]

Well, damn!

There really was Physique Cultivation!

Not only had it come to him on its own, it had even activated fivefold automatic training speed right away?

"Heaven really is helping me!" Roya shouted excitedly.

Right after that.

Roya did not let his joy go to his head. With fierce determination, he began training like mad.

Impel Down.

Roya's warship arrived here once again.

This time, the prison guards at the gate had learned their lesson. The moment they saw Roya's ship, they immediately went to report to Magellan.

After all, they had all seen Roya personally capture several great pirates and bring them to Impel Down. Even their warden, Magellan, had to show Roya some respect. How could they dare neglect him?

Therefore.

By the time Roya's ship was about to dock, Magellan had already brought quite a few prison guards to greet him.

"Rear Admiral Roya, did you capture another great pirate? How do you manage to catch great pirates every single day?" Magellan came forward and asked.

Logically speaking.

News of Roya defeating Four Emperor Kaido should have spread already. However, news reached Impel Down a little more slowly, and neither Roya nor Marine Headquarters had had time to notify them beforehand, so Magellan naturally had some doubts.

"Magellan, we meet again!"

"This time, I brought you a surprise!"

After meeting several times, Roya could now joke around with Magellan.

"A surprise? What kind of surprise? Don't tell me it's another great pirate worth over a billion?" Magellan asked doubtfully.

Magellan was not surprised by that possibility. After all, Roya had captured even Jack the Drought, who had a bounty of one billion. If it was a great pirate worth over a billion, it would not be beyond Magellan's expectations.

"You'll know when you see it."

Roya said with a smile, "Men, bring that guy down!"

Right after that.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Heavy footsteps came from the warship. As they approached, even the warships docked at the harbor began to sway, while waves of oppressive pressure spread through the air.

A massive, pitch-black figure appeared before everyone.

This person seemed far from ordinary!

That was Magellan's first thought!

But when the black figure's face came into view, it completely shattered Magellan's understanding. His eyes widened, his mouth fell open, and he cried out in terror, "Four Emperor... Kaido!"

An uproar broke out!

Hearing Magellan's frightened cry, countless prison guards were equally shocked.

"It really... really is Four Emperor Kaido..."

"No way, that Marine rear admiral actually captured Four Emperor Kaido?"

"Judging by Warden Magellan's reaction, it must be true..."

"Just how strong is this Marine rear admiral..."

"..."

No matter how slowly news traveled to Impel Down, no one could possibly be unaware of the four emperors of the sea.

Thus, after confirming that the captured man was Four Emperor Kaido, all the prison guards began discussing it among themselves.

"Well?"

"Surprised?"

Roya looked at Magellan with a grin.

"Th-this guy... you captured him?" Magellan simply could not believe his eyes.

Roya naturally did not deny it. He merely shrugged indifferently in acknowledgment.

At that moment.

Magellan was completely dumbfounded, his mind a total mess.

Roya! What kind of monster are you? That was the only thought in Magellan's mind.

Wait!

Magellan carefully noticed the indelible wound on Kaido's body.

"Rear Admiral Roya! Did you cause Kaido's injuries?" Magellan asked tentatively.

"Oh, you mean that wound? Yeah. Is there a problem?" Roya said lightly.

Is there a problem?

That was practically an insult!

Magellan was speechless!

After all, Four Emperor Kaido was known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air. There were only a handful of people in this world who could injure him, let alone inflict such a massive wound on him.

This time, Magellan truly felt heartfelt admiration for Roya!

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Roya! Brat!"

"You think locking me up in Impel Down means this is over? I'm telling you, we'll meet again soon!"

Kaido, shackled with Seastone and bound hand and foot, burst into arrogant laughter.

Perhaps Kaido was right. With his strength, Impel Down might not truly be able to hold him. This guy clearly had some scheme in mind.

But!

That had nothing to do with Roya!

So what if he had a scheme? What did it have to do with Roya? At worst, he could just beat Kaido up again the next time they met.

"Shut up!" Roya shot him a sharp glare.

Sure enough.

Kaido really did fall silent, though a sinister smile still lingered at the corner of his mouth.

"Magellan, I'll leave this guy to you. I won't be going in with you this time. I'm a little tired and can't be bothered with the hassle. I want to rest." After saying that, Roya lazily turned and left.

Watching Roya's departing back, Magellan thought to himself, This time, the entire world is about to be turned upside down!
