January 22, 1511 ( Sea Circle Calendar )
A naval prison ship, fully loaded with prisoners, slowly docked in the port of Impel Down, escorted by three warships.
"Please inform Commissioner Magellan that this is a serious offender from last December," a rear Rear Admiral shouted toward the port gate.
The door slowly opened, and a tall, beautiful woman dressed in a slightly BDSM-inspired outfit appeared behind it. She brandished a leather whip and giggled, replying, "Another little darling is here! I'm going to punish you scumbags properly!"
The prison guards boarded the prison ship with weapons and brought down one serious offender after another.
The personnel responsible for the verification also began to check the identity information of these serious offenders.
" Bucks, Blood Wolf Pirates... entering the second level..."
" Oko, kill the nobles, rob... enter the first level..."
" Bolivar, assassin of the South Blue Admiral, user of the Rattlesnake Fruit, needs to use Seastone Handcuffs and leg irons to enter the fifth level..."
" Kaka, plotting a coup..."
Bolivar, with his pale red skin, was Seastone Handcuffs and slowly walked toward the gates of Impel Down, his face utterly calm.
Crack! Sadi lashed him with her whip, but it didn't elicit the slightest change in his expression.
After passing through the gate, we were ushered into the baptismal chamber.
The boiling water caused many prisoners to scream and howl in agony.
"Ahhh..."
"It's burning me..."
"Help!"
Bolivar walked across the pool without changing his expression, and then, along with five other prisoners, was escorted to the fifth level of the Freezing Hell.
In the frigid, extremely Freezing Hell.
The military wolves that roamed outside the cells occasionally let out a low howl.
Inside the cell, Bolivar looked around the place with great interest.
"Hey, what did you do to get arrested?"
Don't waste your energy.
Several weak, feeble voices echoed in the cell.
Bolivar did not answer, but simply stood up and broke off a few icicles from above the iron door of the cell.
Thud! An icicle pierced his calf, severing it quickly.
Gulp! One prisoner was stunned into silence.
"Are you crazy?"
"Do you think you're Golden Lion?"
However, Bolivar completely ignored these people, and a moment later, he broke his other leg and removed the shackles from the broken point.
Then he smashed both hands and removed the handcuffs.
The dozen or so prisoners in the same cell were stunned. They had seen ruthless people before, but none of them had ever seen anyone so ruthless to themselves.
Life Return - hair and limbs!
Bolivar's hair seemed to come alive instantly, extending four tentacles made of hair to pick up the severed hands and feet and then reattach them to the broken parts.
Life Return, liberation achieved, limb reattachment surgery!
The Vivre Card hidden on one side of his heart released a huge amount of life force. With the injection of life force and the control of cells by the Life Return, his limbs were quickly reconnected.
Bones, blood vessels, nerves, skin, and muscles reconnected as if they had never been injured.
"This..."
" Life Return?"
"What..."
Bolivar turned to look at his fellow inmate, whom he had spent half the day in.
Pfft...
With a flick of the fingernail, the throats of the other prisoners in the cell were instantly severed.
The body was thrown out of the cell.
Before long, a large pack of wolves surrounded them, tore the corpses to pieces, and then devoured them.
Bolivar took out a stack of cards from his body and selected one.
[ Magic Card: Cube Creation (Effect lasts one hour)]
After activating the card, he placed his hands on the ground, and instantly the cell floor transformed into a dozen or so cubic stones, which were then compressed and shrunk.
One hour later.
Bolivar had entered an underground cavity, and he restored the cubes, returning the passage he had just dug to its original state.
This is the legendary Level 5.5 of Impel Down.
The Escape Passage was secretly dug by the giant Morley decades ago using his Devil Fruit powers, before Morley joined the Revolutionary Army.
This is also why Ivankov later learned that Impel Down had 5.5 levels.
This place now belongs to the Liberator Organization.
Soon, Bolivar crushed a sapphire.
A wormhole appeared before them, Ray and Moria appeared there.
"This is Level 5.5 of Impel Down? Thanks for your hard work, Tequila."
"Yes, Lord Moria," Tequila, using the alias Bolivar, replied respectfully. Although Moria was Apostle, in a sense, Moria was actually a part of Noah, representing an extension of Noah's will.
Moria's shadow twitched, and soon a dozen shadowy soldiers appeared in front of the three of them before disappearing back into the shadows.
These shadowy soldiers rapidly infiltrated the 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st floors of Impel Down and the sea fortress through the shadows.
As for the sixth level below level 5.5, Moria did not order the shadow soldiers to sneak through, for a very simple reason: he was wary of the old monsters in the Infinite Hell.
For example, Red Count and Bullet have extremely strong Observation Haki, and the Shadow Soldiers might be exposed to them.
Although Moria was certain that even if the two of them discovered the shadowy soldiers, they would most likely not bother to report them.
However, if it can be hidden, it should be hidden as much as possible.
After all, they are currently in Impel Down, and Moria does not intend to expose himself to outsiders before he has full control of the area, thereby reducing the probability of unforeseen complications.
Half an hour later.
A dark-skinned soldier emerged from the shadows, then opened his gaping maw and spat out an unconscious prisoner.
Tequila immediately recognized the other person, because this guy was also a pirate from the South Blue: "Hey, isn't this Anduin, the captain of the Trickster Pirates?"
Without even Ray, Are removed his prefrontal lobe.
Moria took out a card and pressed it against Anduin's forehead. The card immediately transformed into a golden cloud of flames, enveloping Anduin.
A Minor Arcana Apostle has been transformed.
Anduin soon awoke.
"Hello... It's nice to see you all." Anduin a smile.
Moria transformed this guy into Apostle because of the other's Devil Fruit ability. "Your Bone-Bone Fruit is quite well-used."
"Heh heh, compared to my lord, I am far inferior!"
Anduin's Bone-Bone Fruit is a combination of Paramecia Devil Fruit, which combines the abilities of a Paramecia being and a creation. It can strengthen his own bones and also create bones outside his body.
Anduin's approach to developing the Bone-Bone Fruit was to use his control over his skeletal system to impersonate other people, which is also the origin of his title as Trickster.
Moria cannot remain stationed in Impel Down for an extended period, so he needs a powerful Apostle to oversee the city.
After all, Impel Down is a treasure trove, especially for the Liberator Organization with Devil Fruit recycling technology. The Devil Fruit users here are like walking Devil Fruit, just waiting to be harvested.
Let's set aside the Combine-Combine Fruit and the More-More Fruit from the Infinite Hell.
The other five prison levels contain many powerful Devil Fruit, but the users of these Devil Fruit are relatively weak, which prevents them from reaching their true potential.
This is also why Moria chose to station Anduin Impel Down —to effectively harvest the Devil Fruit prisoners there.
Because many of these ability-wielding prisoners are under strict surveillance by the Impel Down, the death or disappearance of one or two can be excused as an accident, but a large-scale death or disappearance would quickly attract Magellan's attention.
