"I'm not leaving! I'm not going back! I'm not getting off the ship! I'm going to Impel Down with you all. We'll be back soon anyway, a little extra time won't matter. Let's go! Let's set off!"
Tokikake Kakei left, Gion was unwilling. Who would want to drink only water when they eat meat every day? It's better not to have experienced it, because once you have, it's like opening Pandora's box, which can never be closed again.
The only one to blame is the inexplicable thought that flashed through Vic's mind at the time. Vic has regretted it many times and can't stop lamenting.
"Go back! I heard from the old man that Vice Admiral Tsuru is at headquarters. Don't you want to go back and see your sister soon?"
It's been almost a year since you last saw each other, you should go back and visit soon. With me here, you don't need to worry about Bullet causing trouble, go back quickly!
Could you please look after Ain for me? It's not suitable for her to go to a place like Impel Down. Ain has a friend at headquarters who knows the place; you can take her there!
Vic really wanted to give her a piece of his mind, but he couldn't say it openly in front of so many people. "You're only in your early twenties, right? Is it appropriate to be so aggressive? Are women in this world different? Do women with good bodies have more needs?"
"Well... alright then! I'll head back to headquarters first. Come find me as soon as you get back. I'm much more happy with you guys; when Tokikake, he annoys me every single day!"
Vic is right. Gion and Vice Admiral Tsuru haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's really not appropriate for them to go back to headquarters and then go to Impel Down again. That would be just too much!
Gion also understood the implication in Vic's words. In fact, Gion really thought that Vic was just giving her a massage. After all, she had never been with a man and didn't understand matters between men and women. However, the physical reaction produced by the massage was still embarrassing, given the involvement of those parts of her body.
"Okay! Gion- neechan! I'll come find you as soon as I get back! Please take good care of little Ain, she's very naughty!"
Rebecca, holding Gion's arm, ignored Ain's eye-roll. Ever since Gion risked her life to save Vic, Rebecca had completely accepted her.
Rebecca no longer minds that Vic and Gion are together. In this world, it's difficult to have a monogamous system. Only some countries have such laws, but those laws cannot be applied to Vic and Gion. So as long as Vic accepts Gion, Rebecca will not object.
Gion, carrying Ain, left the port, turning back every few steps, heading towards the living quarters behind the headquarters building. Vic and the others had also contacted the guards at the Gate of Justice, where the Marine Headquarters was located, in advance.
Then they set sail in that direction. They had already gone there once before, so this time they were quite familiar with the route. Vic and his men arrived at Impel Down without any trouble. Using the momentum of the whirlpool, they directly docked at the Impel Down pier in the Calm Belt.
Of course, Vic and his group had already contacted Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, while they were in the vortex. Magellan was very welcoming of Vic's arrival and said he would personally greet Vic and his party.
Vic saw Magellan's tall figure on the deck of the warship. Magellan's image was that of a devil from hell, Venom-Venom Fruit.
Magellan's strength is considerable to have become the warden of Impel Down; few can withstand his poisonous body, and he possesses the strength of Admiral. However, the side effects of his Venom-Venom Fruit are best left unmentioned.
At this moment, Magellan was standing on the dock with Shiryu and Domino, but Shiryu and Domino were quite far away from Magellan, probably because they were afraid of his poisonous farts.
Many people in Impel Down would be knocked out by his uncontrollable poisonous farts, so many people had Magellan's antidote, fearing that they would be poisoned to death before they could be rescued. This is also why Shiryu later had an antidote to save Blackbeard's crew; otherwise, a future Four Emperors crew might have been wiped out before even leaving Impel Down.
When Vic carried Bullet, who was bound with Seastone chains, off the warship, Bullet immediately gave him a show of force, unleashing his full Conqueror's Haki.
Whether it was the prison guards who came out to greet them or the marines escorting them on the warship, many of them fainted. However, Bullet didn't seem to be looking for an opportunity to cause trouble. After releasing his Conqueror's Haki, he didn't make any other moves, probably knowing that he wouldn't be able to escape if he tried to cause trouble. One Vic was enough of a headache for him, and now Magellan had come along as well. Neither of them were weaklings.
" Rear Admiral Vic! I've finally waited for you! I've wanted to thank you in person for a long time, but I couldn't be there because of my duties!"
Thank you for eliminating the Golden Lion who escaped from Impel Down. On behalf of all the guards in Impel Down, the warden, and the former warden, I express my gratitude. This has made amends for our negligence in guarding the prison!
Magellan spoke to Vic, who had come before him, and bowed. Not only Vic, but all the prison guards who hadn't fainted also bowed, suggesting that Magellan had given prior notice.
Although Shiryu was reluctant, he still bowed. At this point, Shiryu was not yet capable of challenging authority, nor was he strong enough to provoke Vic. Shiryu was very good at assessing the situation, otherwise he would not have later joined forces with Blackbeard.
"Commander Magellan, you flatter us. It is our navy's duty to capture pirates. I am quite disappointed that we did not capture Golden Lion!"
If we could catch him again, it would be perfect. It would also serve as a deterrent, making everyone in Impel Down give up any thoughts of escape, and there would basically be no more prison breaks in the future."
Vic stepped forward and helped Magellan up with his remaining hand, making Bullet, who was in his other hand, want to roll his eyes. "You were just trying to kill me, weren't you? If I hadn't been lucky, you would have killed me too. How can you be in the Navy with such a bloodthirsty mind? I'm going to suggest that the Navy fire you."
"It's not an exaggeration at all. The real deterrent effect of killing the Golden Lion is the killing of the Golden Lion. I've spread the news of your defeat Impel Down, so they'll know that even if they escape, it's useless. They can survive inside, but outside they're doomed. You've taught them an important lesson in life!"
Magellan said seriously that he was like that when King Luffy caused havoc in Impel Down, he would rather kill him than let him go. However, he couldn't hold on by himself. If Shiryu hadn't betrayed him, they would have had a chance.
"That makes sense! I probably won't be getting this kind of work anymore. Let's hand over Bullet and his gang now. They're all pretty capable; the sooner they're locked up, the sooner we can have peace of mind."
Vic thought about Magellan's words and realized they made a lot of sense. He could only think that the Devil Fruit users in Impel Down all had a purpose: one was to prevent the outflow of Devil Fruit, and the other was to serve as experimental subjects for the Vegapunk's research.
"Alright! I'll take..."
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
Just as Magellan was about to take Bullet away, his stomach started growling. Those who knew Magellan knew that this meant his period had started, something he did every day to detox.
