A Difficult Prison Break

Seeing Ye Qiong collapse from the deadly poison yet still struggle to rise, Magellan shook his head.

"As a major criminal of Eternal Hell, you should spend the rest of your life there. Coming out will only hasten your death."

Magellan stepped forward, closing in on Ye Qiong.

"Cough, cough. What do you know?"

Ye Qiong forced himself upright, sitting against the wall as poison seemed to spread throughout his body.

"My longing for the outside world and the people I miss cannot endure slowly growing old and dying in this place." Ye Qiong forced out a smile as he looked at Magellan before him.

Magellan's massive, burly figure completely blocked the light, smothering Ye Qiong beneath an oppressive shadow.

"Then miss them in hell. In a moment, I'll send the companions who escaped with you down there to join you."

Magellan raised his left hand, and venom formed into a dragon around his fist.

Just as the Poison Dragon was about to strike, a sharp gleam flashed through Ye Qiong's eyes, and his finger suddenly twitched.

Magellan's huge body shuddered violently. The Poison Dragon halted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You... you!"

The Poison Dragon suddenly erupted and crashed down toward Ye Qiong, but the figure before him flashed and vanished from the spot, teleporting away.

The next moment.

Ye Qiong appeared in midair, standing atop a Space Cube and towering proudly in the void. There was not the slightest sign of poisoning on him.

Looking back at Magellan, a longsword was embedded in the back of his black uniform. Half the blade had pierced into his body, and blood streamed continuously from the wound, dripping to the ground alongside venom in a horrifying sight.

"You weren't poisoned?!" Magellan turned around and stared at him coldly, still unable to believe his deadly poison had failed.

"Of course I was. Unfortunately, I cured it."

Ye Qiong smiled. He had indeed been poisoned by the toxic gas earlier, but the amount had not been great.

Over five years, his Vajra Body had long entered the second stage, tempering the organs and flesh within his body. His resistance to internal damage from water, fire, shockwaves, poison, and similar attacks had greatly increased, giving him a certain degree of immunity.

Combined with the self-healing ability of his plant tattoo, he had quickly purged the toxin from the poisonous gas. The venom he had fallen into earlier had actually been kept at bay by Armament Haki the whole time. Ye Qiong's Armament Haki was not strong and could only be used to isolate venom he could not control, so he had not been contaminated.

His poisoned appearance earlier had merely been Ye Qiong playing along, luring Magellan into lowering his guard and falling into the trap.

"You deserve to die!"

Magellan reached back and pulled out the longsword. Venom surged over his hand, directly corroding the refined steel blade into scrap metal.

He was truly enraged.

The venom on the ground crawled toward Magellan as if alive. Purple venom covered his body, and a chilling, terrifying aura surged forth.

Powerful venom continuously poured from his body.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Magellan's body released the venom of a skull-shaped giant. The ground was rapidly corroded as the dreadful toxicity continued to spread.

Ye Qiong watched as Magellan's body was enveloped, the venom shaping itself into a huge demonic form. Once contaminated, one would surely be completely corroded!

"I can't hold anything back anymore!"

Ye Qiong's expression turned grave as he activated his spatial ability.

"R!"

He spread out an enormous spherical space, then pressed both hands downward. The giant space wrapped around the air within and abruptly contracted!

The walls of the spherical space gave off a white glow before violently shrinking inward, compressing tighter and tighter until it became a ball of light floating between his hands.

Ye Qiong tightly clasped the ball of light in his hands, suppressing the terrifying power contained within it.

"Be buried beneath this move!"

A cold gleam burst from Magellan's eyes. Terrifying venom erupted like a volcano, condensing into a fist that blasted toward Ye Qiong in the air.

Venom Demon: Hell's Judgment!

Ye Qiong pressed both hands down, fiercely slamming the ball of light in his hands downward!

R Bomb!

The purple venom and white air bomb both carried terrifying might.

In the end, they collided head-on.

Time and space seemed to freeze for an instant.

Then the two terrifying forces erupted completely, spilling outward in every direction.

BOOM!!!

Venom boiled and air exploded. Terrifying power swept through the surroundings, and devastating air pressure crushed the structures of the fourth-level hell prison, shattering countless cells.

The entirety of Impel Down rumbled and shook at that moment.

"What the hell happened?!"

"Damn it, did those giant Sea Kings outside ram Impel Down again?"

"No way. Those prison guards looked pretty panicked earlier. Could something have happened in Impel Down?"

"What could happen? Don't tell me someone broke out of prison?"

Countless prisoners in their cells were confused and began discussing it heatedly.

At this moment, inside the Fleet Admiral's office at Marine Headquarters.

"What is Impel Down's current situation?"

Sengoku, seated in his chair, was growing restless.

"Report! According to the news sent from there, several prisoners are still under control!" the Marine intelligence officer quickly reported.

"When can Kizaru reach Impel Down?"

"Report! He can arrive in about half an hour!"

"If that's the case..." Sengoku pondered for a moment. A faint glint flashed across his glasses as he said, "Send Akainu over as well!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the Marine intelligence officer turned and left.

"If Garp were here, this would be much easier." Sengoku sighed. That fellow had somehow taken half a year off to teach his grandson, leaving him utterly helpless.

"Impel Down concerns the World Government's prestige. There can be no more mistakes!" Sengoku's eyes turned icy.

Golden Lion's prison break five years ago had utterly ruined the World Government's reputation. If anything went wrong again this time, not only would they become a laughingstock, but it would also make the unruly pirates of the seas even more brazen!

"One Golden Lion incident was more than enough!"

At this moment, on the third level, Starvation Hell.

White Snow and Crow King had completely transformed into enormous beasts, fiercely battling a sword-wielding man with a cigar clenched between his teeth.

White Snow took the offensive, black flames burning through the void, while Crow King focused on defense, Armament Haki covering his entire body.

Though they fought two against one, Shiryu of the Rain's astonishing swordsmanship had left them at an absolute disadvantage!

Shiryu of the Rain casually swung his sword. White sword energy burst from his famous blade, sharp and oppressive as it tore through the air.

"White Snow, watch out!"

Seeing the sword energy slash toward White Snow's wolf form, Crow King hurriedly stepped forward to block it.

Slash!

The white sword radiance struck its enormous black pangolin body, carving several wounds that were neither shallow nor deep.

With these added to the count, its massive pangolin body was already covered in injuries, crisscrossed with bloody scars.

White Snow's wolf eyes were incomparably cold. She trampled through the void as hellfire burned through the air, pouncing toward Shiryu of the Rain.

Shiryu of the Rain swung his sword, and the sword radiance extinguished the black flames.

"White Snow, take Lord Night Emperor and leave! I can't hold him off for much longer!"

Crow King stared coldly at Shiryu of the Rain. His massive pangolin body was almost entirely covered in pitch-black Armament Haki, its surface gleaming faintly with a steel-like hardness.

White Snow said nothing. Scorching black flames continuously surged from her wolf body, transforming into black fireballs that attacked Shiryu of the Rain.

"Is this all you can do?"

Shiryu of the Rain gave a cruel smile. His sword energy was fierce as it shattered the incoming black fireballs.

"Crow King, buy me five seconds!"

White Snow suddenly retreated, black flames wildly coiling and surging around her body.

"Alright!"

Crow King braced his enormous body, standing before White Snow like an iron vajra.
