"Hahaha, Magellan, do you know why we absolutely must control Impel Down?"
Magellan reacted instantly. "Harvest the ability users among them!"
Anduin nodded. "Many years ago, the organization successfully developed a highly efficient and safe Devil Fruit recycling technology. Impel Down is a huge Devil Fruit storage facility."
The two chatted as they walked toward the monitoring room.
Inside the huge monitoring hall.
Tequila saw the two of them walk in.
"Is the Gene Armor complete?"
Anduin nodded. "I just tried it, and there weren't any major problems."
Upon hearing this, Tequila inquired, "Are you going to start retrieving those ability user prisoners next?"
"Yes, before we had to do it secretly, but now we can take those prisoners away openly."
"What are the first targets?"
" Byrndi World of the Infinite Hell, Ivankov of the Freezing Hell, and Inazuma."
Upon hearing these three names, Magellan immediately understood the prisoners' situation.
World was frozen in the Infinite Hell, and he didn't even create Vivre Card.
Ivankov and Inazuma's Vivre Card are only in the hands of the Impel Down and the Revolutionary Army's high command.
Magellan was somewhat worried. "Won't killing Ivankov and Inazuma attract the attention of the Revolutionary Army?"
Anduin smiled slightly, " The Revolutionary Army is now a subordinate organization of the Liberator Organization."
"What?!" Magellan's eyes widened, then he asked in astonishment, " Anduin, since the Revolutionary Army is a subordinate organization of the Liberator Organization, why did you need to eliminate Ivankov and the others?"
Anduin replied coldly, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. The current leader of the Revolutionary Army is a member of the organization, but Dragon, Ivankov, and others are not. Rather than letting them go out and cause division, it's better to eliminate them at the root."
Gulp! Magellan also experienced the Liberator Organization's ruthless decisiveness for the first time.
Seemingly sensing Magellan's inner turmoil, Anduin narrowed his eyes and said, "You're wondering why the World Government doesn't eliminate those great pirates and rebel leaders?"
"Yes," Magellan answered honestly.
"You need to understand one thing: the Kingdom of Dawn and the World Government are fundamentally different."
"Different?" Magellan pondered the meaning of that sentence.
Anduin didn't mince words and explained directly, " The World Government is essentially an alliance, with the founding nations of the Twenty Kings at its core and 137 Affiliated Nation as its branches. The Kingdom of Dawn is a single nation. Do you understand now?"
"..." Magellan still didn't quite understand.
Anduin continued, "Within the system of the Kingdom of Dawn, everything external must be overthrown and eliminated; but within the World Government's system, pirates are a tool to prevent Affiliated Nation from seceding, that is, to nurture pirates for self-improvement."
"To raise an enemy for personal gain? I see!" Magellan realized what he meant as soon as he heard the phrase.
He used to be very confused as to why the World Government, which clearly had the power to wipe out the great pirates of the New World, was showing no signs of taking any action.
After all, the Navy alone can easily contend with three pirate crews at the level of the Sea Emperors. If you add the Army, Air Force, Cipher Pol, and the hidden forces of Mary Geoise, they can wipe out the entire pirate force in the New World at any time.
This is actually the underlying logic behind why, in the original timeline, when Zephyr was about to destroy the New World, the Navy rushed to stop him.
Once the New World is destroyed, the World Government will lose its justification for supporting its enemies, which could very likely lead to some Affiliated Nation breaking away from the World Government.
At that moment, Magellan gained a deeper understanding of the evil of the World Government.
Infinite Hell.
Shiryu, who was still serving as the temporary Chief Warden here, led two people filled with Pride and Envy, along with a dozen jailers, to the secret cell where World was imprisoned.
Walk through the deep, dark corridor.
The prisoners on both sides showed a variety of emotions as they saw Shiryu and his group passing by.
fear!
crazy!
ridicule!
provocative!
This time, however, Shiryu ignored these villains.
Douglas Bullet, who was doing push-ups, stopped and looked at Shiryu passing by the door, his eyes narrowing slightly.
'Those two guys are from Impel Down too? They have such powerful auras, almost on par with Shiryu of the Rain...'
Pride turned and glanced at Bullet.
Bullet felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by some ferocious beast, and then he began to tremble slightly.
'This guy! It's been so long since I've felt this kind of deadly threat. I really want to fight him...'
After passing Bullet's cell, they passed the door of Red Count Patrick Redfield's cell.
Red Count squinted, watching Shiryu and his group through the dim light in the doorway.
Suddenly he frowned.
'What's going on? Why can't I read their minds?'
Although those with extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki can disrupt the perception of Observation Haki, Red Count doesn't believe that these World Government lackeys possess that level of Conqueror's Haki.
He quickly cast his Observation Haki over the prisoner in the next cell and discovered that he could still read the other's thoughts.
'Is it some kind of technique or equipment? But what are these guys up to, being so secretive?'
Pride and the others were naturally aware of Red Count's special Observation Haki, and in order to avoid leaks, they activated the electromagnetic interference function of the Gene Armor.
Currently, Gene Armor has been widely adopted within the organization.
Of course, the Gene Armor worn by the Pride group was just a standard model, without Devil Fruit incorporated into it, and its function was more supportive.
One of the basic functions of the general-purpose Gene Armor is to disrupt the mind-reading ability of those with special Observation Haki.
The reason Anduin and the others didn't enter the Infinite Hell before was because they were afraid of being read minds by the Red Count.
Ignoring the Red Count's reverie, the group arrived at the deepest part of the Infinite Hell, a freezer that constantly emitted a chill.
Shiryu took out the key and opened the cell door.
A thick layer of heat insulation covers the entire cell, along with more than a dozen cooling pipes that take turns cooling the cell to keep the internal temperature within the range of minus 30 degrees Celsius.
In the middle of the cell, there was a huge block of ice on display.
Pride took out a card and casually slapped it onto the ice block.
In an instant, the ice block was sucked into the card.
"Let's go! Let's go to the Freezing Hell to retrieve them."
Shiryu the two upstairs, then returned to his training room in Infinite Hell to continue his frenzied training.
The Red Count, inside the cell, had already seen through his Observation Haki that World had been taken away from the frozen cell.
What is the World Government up to now?
Unfortunately, he will never know the truth. After all, he is too old and doesn't have Devil Fruit; he is only suitable as raw material for creating the Living Dead General.
In another cell of the Infinite Hell.
Ryu also saw Shiryu and the others passing by; he was equally concerned about any movement Impel Down.
But this time, a bad feeling arose in his heart again.
After much deliberation, he took out a special beetle that the bear had secretly left behind and crushed it to death.
The beetle was crushed to death.
At that moment, the bear in the New World immediately sensed a small glass container in his backpack containing Vivre Card Vivre Card, which was burning rapidly inside.
Is the dragon calling me?
The bear frowned, then slapped itself away.
