The Lineup Ascends

Buggy stood frozen in shock, for no other reason than that several familiar yet terrifying figures had appeared on the battlefield!

"Douglas Bullet, the 'Devil's Heir'! Patrick Redfield, the 'Red the Aloof'! And the Truth of Range Rifis! How did these three end up here?!" Buggy's eyes widened as he stared at the three solitary figures on the battlefield, countless memories flooding his mind!

"Captain Buggy, who are those three guys?" one of Buggy's young admirers noticed the uneasy look on Buggy's face and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Heh, these three guys are monsters among monsters!" Buggy swallowed hard and said slowly.

"Bullet, the Devil's Heir, is like me; he was also a crew member under our captain, the Pirate King Roger! Back then, he was an extremely powerful member of our Roger Pirates! So many years have passed, I wonder just how powerful he has become!"

"Huh? He's also a legendary crew member? Does that mean he's just as powerful as you, Captain?"

"Ahem! If we're really just talking about strength, we're evenly matched! But as far as I know, he's a criminal from Level 6 of Impel Down! How did he escape?"

Buggy racked his brains trying to recall if he had revealed his Devil Fruit ability to the prisoners before he was captured and imprisoned in Impel Down. Besides, he was just a small-time pirate, and no one would have noticed him!

So, taking advantage of the guards changing shifts, he used his Devil Fruit ability to escape from the prison. To create chaos, he even stole the guards' keys. Under the cover of countless criminals, he finally escaped!

But how exactly did Bullet escape?

"Captain Buggy, I did it!" a fierce-looking pirate said smugly. "To create enough chaos, and also to protect ourselves, I stormed from the 5th floor into the 6th floor and released a lot of vicious criminals!"

"So that's why Magellan didn't stop us! It was all your doing!"

"What a talented guy!"

"I never imagined you were a criminal on the fifth floor! I was so mistaken!"

Hearing the praise from his companions, the pirate's smugness intensified. He was the weakest of the criminals on Level 5, but he possessed a special Devil Fruit ability: the Zoan Pangolin Fruit! With this ability, he safely reached Level 6 and escaped unharmed!

"By the way, Captain, you haven't told us who those two people are yet?"

"Those two?" Buggy's face darkened further.

"The Red the Aloof is even more legendary! He was also one of the great pirates of the old era! However, what's most terrifying is that he single-handedly became one with our Roger Pirates! He was a proud lone wolf, and also a terrifyingly powerful guy!"

The shock on the faces of those young fans gradually turned into numbness. They had never even heard of such a terrifying existence before!

"As expected of Captain Buggy, he knows far more than us ordinary pirates!" This sentence seemed to touch everyone's hearts, and the crowd shouted fiercely again!

"As for Truth of Range Rifis, who has such a long range, he's an extremely vicious guy! Unlike others, he takes pleasure in destruction! He loves all kinds of explosives! His catchphrase seems to be something like, 'Explosions are art? Art is awesome!' Oops, wrong channel!"

On the battlefield, the pirates and marines who were engaged in battle stopped what they were doing and looked at the three terrifying-looking guys with puzzled expressions.

"Gurararara! Sengoku, how did these three get out here? Could it be that your Navy's so-called Impel Down is just for show?" Whitebeard and Garp also stopped fighting, their gazes towards the three filled with a hint of seriousness!

Sengoku and Garp's expressions instantly darkened. Of everyone present, less than one in ten thousand knew about Bullet, and as for the other two, even fewer people knew! But these two absolutely knew!

Because the Red the Aloof and the Truth of Range were captured by the two of them!

"Hahaha! Long time no see, Garp!" Rifis glanced around, his gaze settling on Garp. "Sigh, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I've been locked up in the Impel Down by you for a full 30 years! 30 years, do you know how I've spent these 30 years?"

Li Rifis lost control of his emotions, and his figure vanished from his spot in an instant, rushing towards Garp at high speed, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air behind him!

"Garp, taste my fist, brimming with resentment!" The muscles on Rifit's aged arm suddenly bulged, and he leaped into the air, then threw a punch at Garp!

"Hmph! All these years have passed, and you're still alive, you bastard?! Fine, I'll send you back to Impel Down once again, and you can spend the rest of your life there!"

Garp snorted coldly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and also extended his right fist, choosing to meet this former vicious pirate head-on!

Well, here's a joke: A pirate who was imprisoned in Impel Down, hadn't eaten for 30 years, and whose physical condition had deteriorated significantly, and who mainly used cannons, chose to challenge Garp to a fistfight!

Look, even though he was knocked flying and his arm was broken, a person should always have ideals, shouldn't they?

Don't be discouraged. Remember, there was once a young man who tried to catch Leo's flying kick in mid-air!

"Ah!" Rifit came and went just as fast, her pitiful scream seeming to trace an arc in the air...

Sengoku: "Did this guy get brain damage from being locked up in prison? Trying to go toe-to-toe with Garp in a fistfight?"

Whitebeard: "That's it? I thought you'd figured out some amazing boxing technique! You idiot!"

Teach: "He must have a very good relationship with Fish Leong, right? But what kind of relationship is it? How could Fish Leong give him such pure courage!"

Bullet / Red the Aloof: "Why the hell did I bring this idiot out here? He's not even as good as a fool!"

"Haha! It's so lively!"

Just as everyone was scorning Rifit, a hearty laugh rang out, and then...

"That's the Red Vorse of the Red Hair Pirates!"

"Why? Why has the ruler of the New World come to this battlefield?"

"Look! All the officers of the Red Hair Pirates have arrived!"

Amidst the exclamations of the Navy, Red-Haired and his crew stepped onto the battlefield with an air of superiority!

"Gentlemen, please give me some face..."

"I'm not giving you any face! Get over here right now!"

Red-Haired cleared his throat, about to utter the words of guidance from his soul, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Teach the next second.

"Damn it, all I did was owe you a favor. Don't I Red-Haired Shanks, have any pride?"

"Say it again, and I'm getting married tomorrow!"

"No way! I don't agree to this marriage!"

"Then what are you saying? Hurry up and come help us! Rescue Thatch as soon as possible, and return to the New World!"

"Oh..."

Red-Haired wore an expression like a wronged little wife as he led his crew slowly toward Whitebeard's camp!

"Hahaha! Navy, how's the surprise I prepared for you?"

Teach laughed wildly, but the next second Sengoku's words shocked everyone!
