"Moo!"

"Roar!"

"Again."

The bloody melee, with fists connecting flesh and bone, not only made Wilton and the four Jailer Beasts' blood boil, but even the watching jailers and criminals cheered loudly.

Domino was completely stunned.

Who was the real beast here?

Why was Wilton's body so tough? He could get up after being knocked down several times. Was he also a Zoan Devil Fruit awakened user? But he didn't look like it.

His stamina, durability, and recovery were also hellish.

Most importantly, Wilton was clearly at a disadvantage, and he could dodge many attacks, but he chose to take them head-on instead of evading.

This was hard to comprehend.

Little did they know, Wilton was enjoying this beating. Both Tekkai and Armament Haki required this kind of training method. Just like forging iron and steel, a sword needed various hammering and tempering to become sharp and sturdy.

Moreover, with Recovery, Heal, and the ultimate skill Justice Potential as a safety net, he wasn't afraid of getting injured at all.

Even if he used them up today, he could use them again after 24 hours.

He was a transmigrator.

And also a cheat.

Besides.

His Second Skill, Feverish Spin, could also restore some HP. This skill had no cooldown, and the more damage he took, the higher the damage it dealt. No matter how he looked at it, he could outlast these Jailer Beasts.

It was possible the four Jailer Beasts might not even be able to outlast him.

"What's going on?"

The continuous, massive fluctuations made Magellan, who was on the toilet, jump with fright. Fearing he might soil himself, he quickly wiped himself, pulled up his pants, and rushed to the scene.

"Warden!"

"Warden Magellan."

As soon as Magellan appeared, many criminals in the prison showed fear and tried to shrink into the shadows, lowering their presence. The previously boisterous cheers instantly vanished.

"Warden, the situation is like this. Earlier, Sadi wanted to..."

Domino stepped forward and explained the whole story to Magellan. Magellan watched the savage battle while listening, his brows furrowed.

Sadi's face showed a hint of displeasure.

Sadi had gone too far this time.

If he were to be held accountable, he, as the warden, also bore responsibility for not properly educating his subordinates, which was dereliction of duty.

Never mind that Wilton was a Rear Admiral; even a Sergeant or a regular Marine shouldn't be treated like this in public. If the matter escalated, it wouldn't benefit anyone.

Furthermore, Wilton was no ordinary Rear Admiral.

He had recently become famous, daring to fight even the world's most ferocious man. He was also a capable subordinate of Vice Admiral Dalmatian, having achieved many merits in the Grand Line and the New World.

Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku was paying attention to him.

The outside world even called Rear Admiral Wilton a "Marine Tough Guy," someone who would undoubtedly become a Vice Admiral at Headquarters in the future. How could Sadi casually abuse and bully him?

Wasn't she afraid of Wilton seeking trouble later?

"Where is Sadi? Immediately demote her from Jailer Chief to Jailer and detain her for a month of self-reflection."

Magellan issued the punishment.

It was a bit harsh.

"Warden, Sadi is barely clinging to life. She should be receiving emergency treatment right now."

Domino's pretty face twitched slightly. She coughed and said again.

"?"

Magellan was taken aback. He clearly hadn't expected this answer.

"Because Rear Admiral Wilton is an absolute gender equality advocate, he almost finished Sadi off without holding back. In the end, considering Sadi was the Jailer Chief, he showed some mercy. It was considered mercy, right?!"

Domino recalled with some uncertainty.

"Absolute gender equality advocate?"

Magellan's expression froze again. The intelligence he had received described Rear Admiral Wilton as a promising, brave, righteous, passionate, and energetic officer, highly favored by Vice Admiral Dalmatian.

Quite a few pirates in Impel Down had been captured because of Wilton and sent here.

"Mm."

Domino nodded.

Perhaps in Rear Admiral Wilton's eyes, as long as someone was an enemy, regardless of gender, they would receive the utmost respect, and he would go all out to defeat them, without showing mercy just because they were weak or a woman.

"Stop!"

After understanding the whole situation, Magellan shouted to stop.

With Magellan's shout, the four Jailer Beasts instinctively stopped. Their berserk killing intent vanished, and they became as docile as kittens.

This conditioned reflex clearly showed their fear of Magellan.

As the person in charge of Impel Down.

Magellan possessed absolute authority and absolute strength. No one, whether his subordinates or the heinous criminals, was not afraid of him.

"Major General Wilton, this is a misunderstanding."

The fight stopped.

Magellan approached Wilton, who was covered in blood, and immediately saw Wilton's condition.

He wasn't fundamentally injured.

As expected of Vice Admiral Dalmatian's capable subordinate, a man known as a Marine Tough Guy.

"Warden Magellan."

Wilton held his twin dumbbells, not exiting his Tekkai state. His blood-stained, rugged face was filled with fervor and excitement; the recent battle had clearly benefited him greatly.

"Major General Wilton, I have already punished Jailer Sadi."

"Warden Magellan, I don't mind about that. I'm in the middle of a great fight right now, can you let it continue?"

Before Magellan could finish, Wilton exhaled a hot breath and looked at the four Jailer Beasts resting on the ground with boiling fighting spirit. In his eyes, these four Jailer Beasts were shining whetstones.

Fighting was much faster than regular fitness training.

He felt his Tekkai and Armament Haki steadily improving. He even considered taking the four Jailer Beasts with him, but he knew it was impossible.

Magellan would definitely not agree.

So, before leaving Impel Down, he wanted to extract as much training value from the Jailer Beasts as possible. He aimed to become an Admiral after the Summit War, and his efforts over the past five years were far from enough.

He needed to put in more effort in the coming time, like 100 times, 200 times, 300 times the effort.

Counting it up.

There were 24 hours in a day, and Wilton could fight or train continuously if he gritted his teeth, because the cooldown for Recovery, Heal, and his ultimate move, Justice Potential, was 24 hours.

All three abilities restored HP.

HP included stamina, recovery, endurance, sleep status, and so on.

Restoring HP was equivalent to eliminating all negative status effects.

This meant that as long as Wilton could exploit the "bug" with his three abilities, he could achieve a state of being sleepless and tireless, with no negative status effects. Whenever he felt fatigued or lacked stamina, he could use Recovery to restore some HP.

Heal restored more, and Justice Potential could restore half.

Even if he couldn't fully exploit the bug, training for 23 hours a day would give him several extra hours of training compared to others. How much would that add up to in a month? A year?

Most importantly, Wilton had already laid an incredibly solid foundation in the past five years.

Combined with his bug-like training time, he was fully capable of significantly improving his strength within a few weeks or months. In the original story, Luffy could fight a Yonko in just two to three years.

Wilton was not only a transmigrator but also a cheater. Crucially, he had already put in five years of foundational training. He also planned to take a Devil Fruit with short-term, massive returns. By all accounts, he was qualified to soar to great heights in a short period.

"Gurgle gurgle~"

Magellan pondered Wilton's request, but his stomach soon rumbled violently. He instinctively clutched his backside; he had come over before finishing his business.

He was losing control.

Visibly, Magellan's face turned green.

"Then you continue! I hope there are no casualties."

Magellan left with those words and ran towards his office. Since he had figured out what was happening and the misunderstanding was resolved, as long as no one died, there shouldn't be any major issues.
