While the two were talking,
The Golden Lion in the next cell suddenly sneered.
"Ha... Roger, you even entrust your own woman to someone else's care?"
That's really pathetic.
Roy turned his head and looked at the Golden Lion whose feet were bound by Seastone.
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
" Golden Lion, do you know him?"
Roy walked up to his cell, squatted down, and looked at him.
"I don't think you're Roger's true love at all."
"What?" The Golden Lion was taken aback.
"Look."
Roy counted on his fingers,
Roger entrusted his final task to Garp —the naval hero who had been hunting him for decades.
He even entrusted his wife and children to the enemy. What does this tell us?
This shows that in his heart, Garp is more important than you, his so-called 'opponent'.
The Golden Lion's face instantly turned red, and his eyes erupted with ferocious rage.
"You—you little brat—!!!"
Despite being severely injured and suppressed by Seastone,
However, the Conqueror's Haki from Golden Lion still erupted uncontrollably, causing the chains in the cell to rattle loudly.
"Calm down, Shiki!"
Roger shouted, but the Golden Lion was already completely enraged.
"They stole my White Tiger Fruit years ago..."
Two years ago on Raijin Island, they made me look so pathetic...
You still dare to laugh at me?!
Roy --!!!
When I get out of here, I'm going to kill you!!!
The Golden Lion's roar echoed through the Infinite Hell, even causing the walls to tremble slightly.
Roy simply looked at him calmly, and only spoke slowly after the Golden Lion's anger had subsided slightly.
Do you want to go out?
The Golden Lion's roar abruptly ceased.
He stared intently at Roy, his voice hoarse. "What... do you mean?"
"I said, I can remove these Seastone shackles from you and let you out."
Roy pointed to the chains on his feet. "However, there's one condition."
"What are the conditions?" the Golden Lion asked warily.
"Once you're outside, obey my orders unconditionally once."
Roy held up one finger.
Just this once. After that, you can do whatever you want, and all our past grievances will be wiped clean.
The Golden Lion's expression shifted constantly.
As a former admiral of the Flying Pirates, a great pirate on par with Roger and Whitebeard,
It was an immense humiliation to expect him to obey a mere brat.
But he also knew that if he didn't seize this opportunity, he might spend the rest of his life locked in this dark and Infinite Hell.
Roger tried to persuade him from the side.
" Shiki, say yes. At least you still have a chance to get out, like this..."
The Golden Lion remained silent for a long time, then finally gritted his teeth and said,
"Fine... I agree! But only once! And you can't go against my principles!"
"Make a deal."
Roy drew his Black Blade, " Shusui," from his waist.
He didn't use a key, nor did he need one.
With a flick of the wrist, the black blade traced a graceful arc in the dim light.
brush--!
The metal bars of the cell snapped with a snap, the cut as smooth as a mirror.
Roy walked into the cell, squatted down in front of the Golden Lion, and looked at the Seastone shackles on his feet.
These shackles are intricately designed, with the lock cylinder hidden inside, requiring a special key to open.
But Roy doesn't need a key.
He extended his right hand and gently touched the shackles with his index finger.
" Deconstruction."
An invisible spiritual force seeped into the shackles through his fingertips.
"Clang--!"
Three seconds later, the shackles clicked softly and opened automatically.
Golden Lion felt a release on his feet, and the feeling of powerlessness that had suppressed the Devil Fruit's power instantly disappeared.
He was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
"Hahaha--!!!"
Power... Lao Tzu's power is back--!!!
Golden Lion stood up. Despite his severe injuries, the power of the Float-Float Fruit had returned to his body.
He felt the sensation of controlling gravity, and a terrifying light flashed in his eyes.
"Where's my sword?!" Golden Lion looked at Roy.
Roy pointed upwards,
"It should be in the armory on the fourth floor, with Magellan and Domuk."
"Good!"
The Golden Lion stretched its limbs, though its movements were still somewhat stiff.
However, they have regained basic mobility.
"Kid, I keep my word."
I'll keep your promise. But only this once!
After saying that, he flashed and became a blur as he rushed towards the stairwell.
He needs to retrieve his beloved swords " Oto " and " Kogarashi " first, and then fight his way out of Impel Down.
Just as Roy was about to leave, a calm voice came from another cell.
"Young man, could you let me out too?"
Roy turned his head and saw that the speaker was a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.
He had long silver hair, a gaunt face, and eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
Although he was locked in a cell, he still exuded an elegant yet dangerous aura.
Most remarkably, his eyes were red, like the purest rubies.
Patrick Redfield, the " Red Count Earl".
Roy recognized the man—the legendary pirate known in the original work as " The Red the Aloof," who single-handedly rivaled Roger and Whitebeard.
His strength is so great that he doesn't even need any companions; he can contend with an entire pirate crew on his own.
"Senior Redfield."
Roy nodded slightly in acknowledgment. "You want to go out too?"
The Red Count nodded.
"Like the Golden Lion, I can grant your request to intervene unconditionally once."
Roy did not answer immediately, but instead carefully examined the legendary figure.
The Red Count's ability is very special—he is Zoan Mythical Zoan Vampire Fruit user.
They can recover from youth and injuries by drinking blood, and they also possess powerful physical skills and Observation Haki.
More importantly, his Observation Haki had reached a level where he could read people's minds.
This is an almost cheat-like ability in combat.
However, he hasn't obtained the Mythical Zoan · Vampire Fruit yet!
If you have time, you can look for them yourself, whether for those promising crew members.
It would also be a good choice to use it to seduce the Red Count.
"Can."
Thinking of this, Roy finally nodded.
"However, I need to remind you of one thing—don't try to read my mind."
The Red Count's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of interest.
"Oh? Why?"
"Because you'll regret it."
Roy's voice was calm, but the warning it contained made the Red Count's expression turn serious.
As someone with the ability to read minds, the Red Count possesses an exceptionally keen sensitivity to the spiritual realm.
He sensed an unfathomable spiritual power emanating from Roy.
That power even made him, a natural user of Observation Haki, feel a chill.
Moreover, he felt that this young man was far too wary, given his mental strength and Observation Haki.
It's not that simple to read someone else's memories.
If the other side offers no resistance, then you can give it a try.
