Fusing Haki with Shikigami

The scene shifted, and the sight before Magellan's eyes turned into an office in Impel Down.

The cheerful voices and laughter of several people came from inside.

Puzzled, he pushed the door open and entered.

Shiryu sat beside a round table, smoking a cigar and drinking rum.

Seeing Magellan enter, he raised a hand and waved.

"Hey, Magellan, you actually came too. I really didn't expect that."

Magellan shook his head with a bitter smile, walked over, and sat beside Shiryu. With a smile of acceptance, he said, "There was nothing I could do. My opponent was too strong."

"I feel like Roy hadn't even used his full strength."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and gulped down the drink.

Gulp!

Liquor spilled from the corner of his mouth, but before he knew it, his eyes had reddened and grown wet.

"I'm sorry. I failed."

"I couldn't avenge you, you bastard, or Sadi, Saldeath, and all those jailers who died."

"I, Magellan, have let you all down!"

Shiryu fell silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"You always wore yourself out, trying to shoulder every responsibility and duty alone."

"Heh, actually, this isn't so bad. At least you don't have to work yourself so hard anymore."

Magellan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Just then, familiar voices sounded behind him.

"Oh, isn't this the toughest man in Impel Down? Why are you crying now? That's a rare sight!"

"Right? Our chief warden is actually crying. But for some reason, I find it really funny!"

"Hahaha, Chief Warden Magellan, you're so lame."

Magellan shuddered and turned around. Everyone he thought he would never see again had appeared.

The perverted Sadi, the still-childlike Saldeath, and all the captains he trusted were among them.

Looking at the stunned Magellan, they raised their fingers and praised him sincerely.

"Chief Warden Magellan, you'll always be Impel Down's most dedicated, steadfast chief warden, and its strongest guardian!"

Magellan could no longer hold back his tears. "You hopeless bastards! Just wait until I deal with you!"

"And that damned Calamity bastard Roy! I hate his guts!"

What he didn't know was that a voice he couldn't hear sounded in the shadows.

"You're so greedy, Magellan."

"And the great Roy isn't just Calamity."

"At least... call me the King of Calamity!"

Meanwhile, at the jailbreak site on Level 2 of Impel Down.

Crack!

The surrounding cells were slashed apart, and the Marines and criminals below stopped fighting and hurried away.

When they looked again, all they could see was Magellan, severed diagonally from his left shoulder to his waist.

Only Roy's figure remained, his expression as haughty as ever.

Stunned silence filled the scene. No one had reacted yet.

In an instant, Magellan, a powerhouse who was infinitely close to admiral level, had been cut down through the waist.

Even Bullet's and Red's gazes kept flickering.

"Roy really is strong."

They might have looked down on Magellan, but if they had to kill him so quickly, they might not have managed it as cleanly as Roy.

Garp and Kuzan were just as shocked as they were, but once they recovered, they roared in anguish.

"Roy, you bringer of calamity! How dare you kill Magellan! You deserve to die!"

"Damn it, Magellan, the chief warden of Impel Down, has been killed! This has gotten completely out of hand! Roy, you truly deserve to die!"

But no matter how they shouted, they couldn't change the fact that Magellan was dead.

Their furious roars sent the Marines, who were already at a disadvantage, into complete panic.

"It's over! Roy killed Chief Warden Magellan! Are we next?"

"Even someone as strong as Chief Warden Magellan was killed by Roy! Who can stop him now? What are we supposed to do?"

At this point, Magellan's death dealt an enormous blow to the Marines.

Impel Down's three strongest combatants were Garp, Kuzan, and Magellan.

Now Magellan had been slain on the spot, while Garp and Kuzan were firmly tied down by Red and Bullet. Who could stop Roy?

The mere thought drove them to despair.

Seeing the Marines suffer, the pirates all began mocking them wildly.

"Kehehe, that's Roy the monster for you! Magellan, the chief warden of Impel Down, has finally fallen! What a satisfying sight!"

"That's right! Magellan tortured us for so long, we've been wishing him dead for ages. Now that Calamity Roy has killed him, it's justice from heaven!"

The criminals from Level 6 were especially excited, roaring at the top of their lungs.

After all, watching the person one hated most die was one of life's great joys.

However, Roy's terrifying strike also made pirates such as Crescent Moon Hunter and Big Barrel fear him even more.

They had originally wanted to find a chance to escape, but now it seemed that if they dared make a rash move, they would probably be killed in an instant.

Even Emporio Ivankov, Yake, and the others who knew Roy relatively well were equally stunned.

Magellan was Impel Down's true guardian, yet Roy had cut him down just like that.

This battle was enough to shake the morale of the Marines and jailers, and would become a story every major news outlet scrambled to cover.

When that happened, the news that Calamity Roy had killed Magellan upon making his debut as a newcomer would surely set the entire world ablaze.

But while everyone remained stunned, Roy's laughter suddenly turned cold.

"Hahaha, those terrified looks on your faces are truly delightful."

"I said it long ago. If someone like Magellan faced me again, death would be his only option."

"He had only his own incompetence to blame!"

His gaze chilled as he abruptly turned toward Bullet and Red.

That look sent a trace of cold through even the two of them.

They actually felt that Roy was a monster!

"Bullet! Red! What are you still doing?"

"Now is the best time to attack Garp and Kuzan! Only by killing them can we leave safely!"

Kuzan's and Garp's expressions changed sharply, while Bullet and Red instantly charged at them.

"Hey, hey, that brat Roy really is arrogant. He actually dares order me around? Forget it. Breaking out comes first right now. I'll do him this favor."

"Exactly. That bastard Roy has kept far too much hidden. Now isn't the time for infighting. Taking care of that old bastard Garp comes first!"

Faced with Bullet's and Red's fierce assault, Kuzan and Garp could only force their bodies to hold on and clash with them once more.

Bang! Bang!

After one clash, both sides were wounded.

In a battle at this level, they could only trade injury for injury and see whose moves hit harder and whose killing blows were fiercer.

Seeing the top-level battle resume, Roy turned his attention to the remaining Marines and jailers and attacked again.

"Kehehe, I'll let you try out the moves I've just developed!"

"Ten Shadows Technique Shikigami, Divine Dogs: Totality, Piercing Ox!"

Following two furious roars, the shikigami he summoned stood twice as tall as they had during his first jailbreak.

"Hehe, after my first failure, I tried many times during those days of training.

Now that I've fused Haki with Slashes, I think the fusion of shikigami and Haki should succeed too!"

Muttering to himself, Roy once again activated the cursed energy and Haki within his body.

Boom!

An explosive sound rang out as pitch-black Armament Haki began appearing on the heads of Piercing Ox and Divine Dogs: Totality.

This time, nothing obstructed it. The Haki Roy unleashed spread, directly covering both shikigami's entire bodies.

P.S. During the verification period, I'll stick to four thousand characters for now.
