"Okay!" Xia Chen nodded.
He told Sabo these things not for any other reason than to help him remember them in advance, so that he wouldn't have to wait until Ace's death to be traumatized and only then remember them, as in the original story.
So... what's your choice?
"Are you going to wait here for news, or come with me to rescue them?"
Xia Chen has suddenly changed his mind. He thinks it might be a good idea to bring Sabo along to rescue people, and also let the brothers meet.
"Of course I'll go with you!"
Sabo didn't hesitate and said decisively.
If he didn't remember Luffy and Ace, that would be one thing, but now that he does, he can't just stand by and watch his brothers suffer in prison without doing anything.
"Alright! In that case, let's go rescue them together later!"
"I want to go too!" Koala exclaimed hastily. Instantly, the other Revolutionary Army around them also stirred, shouting that they wanted to go as well.
Seeing the reactions of those around him, Sabo was deeply moved and said:
"Thank you! But I can't let you go on this adventure with me! Luffy and the others are my brothers, so I have to go save them!"
"But you are different. I don't want my personal matters to put you in danger!"
"What are you talking about, Sabo? What do you mean 'it's your business'?"
"Your brother is our brother, why are you being so formal?" several Revolutionary Army said, looking at Sabo with displeasure.
"That's right, that's right! Your problem is our problem, and we will definitely stand with you to rescue your brother!" Koala said firmly.
"Everyone..."
For a moment, Sabo was speechless, deeply moved, and his eyes unconsciously welled up with tears.
But then an rude voice interrupted them, ruining the atmosphere.
"What are you all yelling about? Do you think the more people the better? Don't you know that the more people there are, the greater the chance of being exposed?" Xia Chen said irritably.
Xia Chen didn't want these people to come along; wouldn't that just cause him unnecessary trouble?
After rescuing Luffy and his crew, there will definitely be a fierce battle, and he won't have the time to take care of them. He doesn't want to end up getting captured himself instead of rescuing them.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen felt he needed to dissuade them further, so he continued:
"Your strength is too weak; you'll only be a hindrance if you go!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people immediately looked at Xia Chen with hostility. One of them, who looked a lot like a crow, said:
" Demon King Xia Chen, I know you have a 2 billion bounty, but that's no reason for you to underestimate us!"
"That's right, you can't underestimate the strength of our Revolutionary Army! If you're not convinced, you can come and try your skills!" Another woman with a hot figure, purple hair, and a cigarette in her mouth said to Xia Chen indifferently.
"Is that so? Then I'd like to see for myself!"
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and the next second, an extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki burst forth from his body, crushing down on everyone.
Thick, dark red Inazuma flashed around, and the resulting shockwave caused several unsuspecting people to stagger back several steps.
Feeling the pressure emanating from Xia Chen, everyone's expressions were filled with horror.
At this moment, Xia Chen unleashed his Conqueror's Haki without restraint, feeling a strange excitement within him.
After he woke up, he discovered that his Conqueror's Haki had broken through to the top level, and its intensity had directly increased by a whole level.
So while the intention is to discourage these people, it's also a way to test the strength of one's Conqueror's Haki.
Xia Chen was quite satisfied with the test results, but he found that they were not yet strong enough to cause physical damage, nor could he control an Admiral's body from an unknown distance using the Conqueror's Haki he released.
"Looks like I'm still a bit behind Red Hair!" Xia Chen murmured to himself.
Just then, an equally powerful Conqueror's Haki emanated from the room, rivaling Xia Chen's Conqueror's Haki's Haki.
Dragon slowly walked out of the house, staring at Xia Chen and said, " Xia Chen, don't use Conqueror's Haki here!"
Sensing the intensity of the dragon 'Conqueror's Haki, Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the dragon's Conqueror's Haki had also reached the top level.
Lost in thought, Xia Chen slowly withdrew his Conqueror's Haki and calmly looked at the dragon, saying, "I simply dissuaded them from going to Impel Down!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Long paused for a moment, then asked Koala about the situation.
After a while, he turned to look at his captains and said, "You are indeed not strong enough; you can't go!"
"But, Chief..."
"I said I can't go!" Koala was interrupted by the dragon before she could finish speaking. She then looked at Sabo, remained silent for a moment, and said:
"Be safe!"
He wouldn't stop Sabo from rescuing Luffy and the others, much less could he.
His original plan was to wait until Xia Chen was feeling better before going to rescue people together, just like Xia Chen said, having more people would only make it easier to expose their position.
Moreover, he used to be a Marine, and he knew Impel Down. He knew perfectly well that rescuing people from that place would not be an easy task.
He can risk it himself, but these people can't risk it with him.
Shaking off his thoughts, Long looked at Xia Chen with amazement in his eyes.
How long has it been since he last met Xia Chen in Loguetown? Unbeknownst to him, Xia Chen has already grown to this extent.
He remembered how he could defeat Xia Chen Xia Chen without using much effort when they fought, but he had no confidence in that now.
After another silence, Long finally got down to business.
"Four of Luffy's crew members are imprisoned on the sixth basement level, and the other four are imprisoned on the fifth basement level!"
"Hmm?" Xia Chen frowned upon hearing this news.
That doesn't make sense! To be honest, it's not that Xia Chen looks down on Luffy and his crew.
The problem is, there's really no reason for them to be locked up on such a low level!
Keep in mind that these two levels are the deepest levels of Impel Down, especially the sixth level, where the prisoners are all wanted with bounties exceeding 100 million.
To his dismay, four lucky survivors from their ship were now imprisoned there. What could he possibly say?
But this is good too; if they're all in one place, it'll be easier for Xia Chen to rescue them. I just don't know if Ace is still there.
Because at the time, in addition to the news that Luffy and his crew had been captured, the newspapers also carried the news that Ace would be executed at Marine Headquarters.
And the time is tomorrow!
Therefore, they don't have much time left...
