Lin Yuan did not intend to use Blackbeard, but planned to enter first and take down all the ability users inside.
In particular, Bullet and Redfield, whom he has his eye on, are not to be missed.
As for how to enter Impel Down, it might be difficult for others, but for Lin Yuan, it was very easy.
In half a day, he appeared outside Impel Down, just in time to witness Ace being taken away.
"It seems Sengoku is being very cautious this time, moving Ace so far ahead of schedule. But that kid's acting is pretty convincing."
The people who came to escort Ace this time were not Admiral, but Gion Vice Admiral Momousagi and Vice Admiral Momonga. However, given their strength, they did not notice anything unusual about Ace.
As for Lin Yuan's figure, they were even less likely to be able to spot him.
Lin Yuan only approached Impel Down after the warship escorting Ace had disappeared from sight.
" Time Domain - Time Corridor!"
A sharp light suddenly flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes Devil Fruit Awakening ability activated.
At this moment, a special energy formed on Lin Yuan's body surface, enveloping him. Within his domain, Lin Yuan's figure remained in place.
With the cover of the Flame Clouds, no one could spot him, yet he leaped directly down, seemingly detached from the world, as if he had a godlike perspective.
As he walked to the gates of Impel Down, the guards there seemed not to see him, Impel Down guard with expressionless faces.
Lin Yuan didn't linger, but stepped inside. He naturally had no interest in the guards.
As Lin Yuan entered, the people inside seemed to freeze in place, standing motionless.
After assessing his physical exertion and finding no major issues, Lin Yuan felt relieved and went inside.
Soon, Lin Yuan arrived at the elevator door; only by taking the elevator could he reach the lower floors.
However, this posed no challenge for Lin Yuan. The Time Corridor's abilities were far more terrifying than he had imagined. Although it lacked offensive capabilities, it allowed him to manipulate time at will.
Lin Yuan selected a specific time frame and then descended into the elevator.
He paid no attention to the previous levels of the Crimson Hell, the Beast Hell, the Starvation Hell, and the Blazing Hell, and went straight to the fifth level.
To be precise, it's level 5.5. Because of his own actions, Luffy didn't come to Impel Down, but Ivankov still wanted to save him.
Lin Yuan was secretly amazed by the so-called Newkama Land, which was built by the Revolutionary Army Commander Morley using the Push-Push Fruit.
"It seems the Devil Fruit in this world are quite interesting; there's an extra half-layer, yet these guards didn't even notice."
However, thinking about his current state, Lin Yuan felt relieved; who could be more monstrous than him?
Lin Yuan walked for a while and soon found Ivankov, Morley and the others. They were roasting a newly acquired ice wolf, but it was not moving at all.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then immediately released the power of his domain, and his figure and the Flame Clouds outside vanished instantly.
At that moment, time seemed to thaw and begin to flow again, and Ivankov and the others' voices rang out.
The moment Lin Yuan appeared, these people jumped up in fright, almost attacking him.
"Holy crap, what is that? How did it appear?!"
"A ghost!"
Lin Yuan looked helplessly at Ivankov and his ilk, cleared his throat, and said.
"Ahem, um, I'm Dragon's friend, don't be nervous."
Ivankov and Morley, of course, knew their leader's true identity and immediately told everyone not to be nervous.
Looking at Lin Yuan's face, Ivankov and Morley were filled with a huge uproar.
"It's actually Hidden Emperor Lin Yuan, one of the Five Emperors! What's he doing here?!"
However, they soon thought of something else: the Revolutionary Army's program.
"Um, Mr. Lin Yuan, what brings you here? Is there anyone who can defeat you?"
Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head, then spoke.
"Nothing much, just came here for a stroll and took care of some business. I sensed you were here, so I came to check on you."
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Ivankov, Morley, and the others were all dumbfounded. How could Lin Yuan mean that this place was like their own home, and they were just here to stroll Impel Down!
Ivankov, who usually enjoys joking, had no time for playful banter and looked at Lin Yuan respectfully.
"Mr. Lin Yuan, are you really just here for a stroll? This is Impel Down prison; once you enter, you never leave."
Lin Yuan's face showed a hint of surprise. Why was this guy so respectful to him? The others were the same, but now was not the time to think about such things.
"That's true for others, but not for me. Since you're here, out of respect for Dragon, I'll send you out!"
"What!"
Ivankov, Mori, Imazuna (Lightning), the user of the Cut-Cut Fruit, Bon Clay, the user of the Imitation Fruit, and others all gaped in disbelief at Lin Yuan's words.
Lin Yuan ignored the group and instead took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed it. Then he took out a huge mirror that had been marked beforehand.
Although they felt that Lin Yuan's words were somewhat unreliable, Ivankov and the others dared not speak, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
They also wanted to leave this place, and now they had actually encountered the Five Emperors Lin Yuan. Although it was uncertain, at least there was hope.
Soon, Brûlée's figure appeared in the mirror. Thanks to Kureha's superb medical skills, she had been transformed and no longer looked so frightening.
"Lord Lin Yuan, I've arrived!"
"Okay, Brûlée. I have quite a few men here. Tell them to leave. The operation will begin in half an hour."
"Yes, Lord Lin Yuan."
Brûlée didn't ask how many people there were; for her, all she needed to do was obey Lin Yuan's orders.
"Alright, Ivankov, come here, and then enter the Mirror Space one by one. But I hope you will keep this a secret."
Ivankov stared in disbelief as they saw someone talking to Lin Yuan in the mirror, until Lin Yuan spoke, at which point they snapped out of their daze.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin Yuan, we won't tell anyone. But how do we get into this mirror? Do we just walk in?"
"That's good, but before you go in, do you have a way to get to the sixth floor?"
"Some!"
Next, Morley led Lin Yuan to a passage that connected to the sixth floor, but the people on the sixth floor were too terrifying, and they dared not go there.
At this moment, Ivankov had already sent over core cadres Inazuma ( Inazuma ), von Klay, and others before thanking Lin Yuan.
"Mr. Lin Yuan, we are deeply grateful and will not thank you enough. Please feel free to ask us for help in the future!"
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, bidding farewell to the group. Fortunately, the mirror Lin Yuan had prepared was quite large; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to hold Morley.
After everyone left, Lin Yuan slowly strolled around this so-called 5.5th floor. Apart from the ice and snow, there was nothing special about it.
After wandering around for a while, Lin Yuan finally arrived at the passage that Morley had just told him about, a smile appearing on his face.
"Hehe, Bullet and Redfield, here I come!"
