May 22, 1513 ( Sea Circle Calendar )

After months of secret research, Teach's remaining value had been completely squeezed dry.

Luo began the final modifications to his body.

First, cloning technology was used to clone a blank brain carrying Teach's genes. Then, Teach's original brain was swapped with the cloned brain.

Because the prefrontal cortex of the cloned brain had been removed beforehand, Teach, after receiving the brain transplant, completely lost his human emotions.

Although Noah's Apostle were already at full strength, he couldn't let such a powerful body slip through his fingers, so he freed up a relatively ordinary Minor Arcana Apostle and replaced him with Teach.

However, Noah did not keep Teach in the Minor Arcana Deck.

Instead, he used the ability to Swap-Swap Fruit, exchanging the Rosamygale Fruit on Black Maria with the Phoenix Fruit on Teach.

After all, Black Maria's Rosamygale Fruit is only Ancient Zoan, and it doesn't match its "rank".

The High Priestess and Phoenix Fruit complement each other perfectly.

The Rosamygale Fruit that was replaced did not remain on Teach, because Apostle cannot control the abilities of two Devil Fruit for long; Noah's help is needed to maintain them. Therefore, Teach had to give up the Rosamygale Fruit.

This fruit, along with the Silverback Gorilla Fruit previously swapped from Uncle Joseph, was transformed into Gene Armor.

The Rosamygale Gene Armor will continue to be used by Black Maria to prevent outsiders from knowing that she has obtained the Phoenix Fruit.

Uncle Joseph followed the same principle. After he switched to the Blood-Blood Fruit, he never openly used the abilities of the Silverback Gorilla Fruit and the Blood-Blood Fruit, precisely to avoid alerting outsiders to anything unusual.

By simply equipping the Silverback Gorilla Gene Armor, one can temporarily deceive everyone.

at the same time.

Noah also personally came to Impel Down.

Inside the Skeleton Hell on level 5.5 of Impel Down.

Anduin, Tequila, the Seven Deadly Sins, and members of the Liberator Organization who were secretly dispatched—a total of 836 people work here long-term.

Moria also frequently came to help.

Noah came in person this time to deal with the entire Impel Down.

" Vic, thank you for your help."

"Don't worry! I will definitely take control of Impel Down." Vic then merged into the rock beneath his feet.

Soon, Vic had control of the entire rock formations of Impel Down, silently and continuously strengthening the structure of Impel Down.

At the same time, the junction between Impel Down and the surrounding tectonic plates was modified to prevent vibrations inside Impel Down from causing vibrations in the surrounding tectonic plates.

Noah then turned to look at Joshua, Joshua immediately understood.

Joshua closed his eyes and began to control the entire Impel Down communication system to prevent information leaks.

Moria then descended into the shadows, taking control of all the World Government's CP Agent hidden in Impel Down, preventing them from igniting the Vivre Card stored at CP headquarters through suicide.

In fact, even though Impel Down is a subordinate agency of the World Government, the World Government is still not at ease and has placed dozens of CP Agent in it to monitor Impel Down's every move.

The same situation applies to the navy.

Seeing everyone else get to work, Anduin immediately gave the order, " The Seven Deadly Sins —the first level of the Earthly Hell, the Crimson Hell, the Beast Hell, and the Starvation Hell— are yours to handle."

"Mission accomplished!"

The Seven Deadly Sins led a large number of subordinates and quickly headed to these target areas.

Anduin turned to Noah: "My lord, I entrust the Freezing Hell to you."

"Um."

Noah instantly appeared in the Blazing Hell through the Garganta.

The Blazing Hell is also the location of the warden's office in Impel Down.

Magellan, who had just finished having diarrhea, came out of the toilet and his expression changed drastically.

It's you!

"Hello, would you be interested in changing bosses?"

"Sinner, I'm arresting you now!" The purple venom on Magellan's body surged wildly, as if it were about to boil.

Noah sat in the director's seat with a smile, "Are you sure you're my opponent?"

" Poison Dragon!"

" Slow-Slow Field!"

"What?!" Magellan's eyes widened. The three venomous dragons he had unleashed were now moving at a snail's pace, and then he found that his own body had become incredibly sluggish.

Noah took out a Den Den Mushi and projected images onto the wall on one side.

Whether it was Sadi, Hannyabal, Domino, Saldeath, or the Jailer Beasts, none of them were able to resist and all became prisoners.

Magellan was shocked and uneasy upon seeing the scene unfolding on the screen.

Suddenly he realized that the sluggishness in his body had disappeared.

However, Magellan did not make another move, because he knew very well that the man in front of him was definitely not someone he could defeat.

What do you want?

"Didn't I already say? Are you interested in changing bosses?"

"You want me to join you? That's impossible!"

Noah laughed, "Heh... Why is it impossible? There's no conflict of stance between us. Whether you work for the World Government or for the Kingdom of Dawn, isn't it the same?"

"But... Justice..." Magellan stammered, clearly realizing that there was nothing wrong with what Noah said.

Of all the World Government agencies, Impel Down is the purest.

Because Impel Down does not engage in the massacre of civilians or the oppression of non- Affiliated Nation.

This place has only one function: a prison for holding criminals.

Ordinary civilians are not qualified to be imprisoned in Impel Down. The prisoners held here are all heinous scum, without a doubt.

Therefore, Noah planned to take over Impel Down.

As Noah just said, Impel Down has no grounds to refuse the Liberator Organization' offer of recruitment.

Magellan looked conflicted. After a moment, he closed his eyes and said, "Just kill me! I will not surrender!"

"Why are you so stubborn? You don't have any relatives working in other agencies of the World Government. Don't you want to watch Sadi, Domino, and others die in front of you?"

Magellan was once again caught in a dilemma.

Many of those who work in Impel Down are actually orphans, and even if they want to marry, they can only marry someone from within Impel Down.

After all, the working environment in Impel Down is too special. It is necessary to prevent external forces from infiltrating the city and to avoid the guards from being bribed. The best way is to ensure that these guards never leave Impel Down the rest of their lives.

Impel Down, known as an impregnable fortress, has been able to remain intact for eight hundred years, with only a few prisoners managing to escape. This is due to the lifelong service system for prison guards and the strict rule that prisoners cannot leave Impel Down at will.

Therefore, people with families are unlikely to choose to work in Impel Down.

Impel Down has its own internal selection mechanism.

For example, training programs for the descendants of prison guards, orphanages, and criminals from the navy and army are all sources of personnel for Impel Down.

Magellan began to waver. "Even if we surrender, you can't hold onto Impel Down. Do you really want to destroy the entire Impel Down?"

"Are you worried about the CP Agent hiding among them?"

"Do you have a way to solve this?" Magellan naturally knew that the World Government had secretly planted CP Agent in Impel Down, but he had no way to refuse and could only silently endure it.

Noah shook his head. "Are you underestimating the strength of our Liberator Organization? The Red Count's abilities are not unique."

" The Red Count?" Magellan reacted instantly.
