" Smoker, it seems comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating."
Hina paused for a moment, then said, "However, Hina doesn't approve of this girl's actions. It seems a newcomer is still a newcomer; she doesn't even have the slightest bit of discipline."
"Now even your adjutant has been taken away, what are your plans?"
Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, also looked rather grim.
However, after a brief silence, he slowly walked out from the crowd.
" Bai Yu, I want to join your team."
What?
Hina's expression froze.
As a contemporary of Hina knew very well that Smoker was tough at heart.
Otherwise, there would be no need to forgo even the qualification to become a member of the main campus upon graduation, and instead choose to become a member of Loguetown.
Submit.
" Smoker, are you confused too?"
Bai Yu rolled his eyes and waved his hand helplessly.
"Fine, just don't get in my way."
"It's getting late, let's hurry up and get going!"
After saying this, Bai Yu turned around and boarded the ship.
Upon witnessing Bai Yu disappear into the cabin, Hina hurriedly stepped forward and said...
" Smoker, why did you do this? Hina doesn't understand."
"Not understand?"
Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, exhaled a deep puff and said.
"Actually, I don't understand either, but do you see the Shichibukai over there?"
"Because he did something others dared not do. He's the first person who shares my ideals. Besides, I want to see just how far he can go."
"The ship is about to depart, I must go now, let's talk again another time."
Smoker quickly boarded the ship as well.
Hina was completely dumbfounded by what she saw.
Is this considered personal charisma?
Meanwhile, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Inside the supreme palace, five figures sat facing each other.
Looking at the intelligence report sent back in his hand, the bald old man holding a samurai sword spoke in a deep voice.
"That brat has already set off; let's stick to the original plan."
"A pawn that cannot be controlled absolutely needs to be thoroughly disciplined. If this operation succeeds, I think even the Sengoku won't be able to protect him, just like eighteen years ago!"
The aged words echoed throughout the hall.
The remaining four aged figures exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
As the behind-the-scenes power holders of the World Government, they have always possessed the ability to strategize and control.
All they have to do now is wait for the final outcome.
Half a day later, a warship cut through the waves and headed towards the heavily blocked, tightly closed Gate of Justice in the distance.
From Marine Headquarters to Impel Down, thanks to the triangular current deliberately designed by the World Government, warships were able to ride the specific current and quickly travel back and forth between the three Gate of Justice.
As the warships approached, the massive Gate of Justice were flung open with a roar.
With the help of ocean currents, Bai Yu's warship quickly entered Impel Down Great Prison.
Many figures were already standing on the dock, waiting.
Leading the group was none other than the Jail Magellan, with Deputy the Jail Hannyabal at the helm.
Behind them followed a group of elites from Impel Down Great Prison.
When the warship docked, Smoker dutifully escorted Crocodile ashore.
Seeing this once arrogant Shichibukai now lying there like a dead dog, Smoker really wanted to know what Bai Yu had done to cause such a dignified Shichibukai to suffer such a blow, both physically and mentally.
Impel Down Great Prison has long been known to outsiders as an impregnable fortress, not only because of its extremely dangerous geographical location.
The biggest reason is Magellan, a powerful figure with the strength of Admiral, who was stationed there.
However, as soon as Bai Yu approached the gate, he could still feel the chilling aura emanating from within.
As expected, it was not a good place.
Thinking of the many notorious pirates imprisoned inside, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in Bai Yu's eyes as he looked up and took a swig of wine.
Magellan and Hannyabal were momentarily stunned.
They had heard rumors about the new Fourth Admiral's bloodthirsty and warlike nature.
That chilling fighting spirit just now... could it be that he's planning to Impel Down Great Prison upside down?
However, the thought, which had just flashed through their minds, was quickly dismissed.
Putting aside the importance of the Impel Down, Magellan alone would prevent Bai Yu from having any chance to act recklessly.
"Warden Magellan, this is the prisoner we're escorting on this trip, former Shichibukai Crocodile."
Smoker was the first to approach the group.
Compared to Bai Yu's carefree attitude, even if Smoker is unruly, he still served as a minor leader in the Loguetown branch for a few years, so he handles matters of principle with a certain level of professionalism.
Magellan and the others quickly came to their senses. Looking at Bai Yu's slightly immature face, they were secretly shocked. Magellan, in particular, felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast.
As expected, the rumors of the Fourth Admiral's bloodthirstiness and warlike nature were not unfounded; even his own people dared to be eyed with hostility at this time.
"Welcome, Admiral Bai Yu. Thank you all for coming. I'm the Jail, and the deputy warden. You can just call me Hannyabal."
Hannyabal forward first, sporting a bossy expression, ready to say something tough.
However, Magellan quickly pushed him away.
" Admiral Bai Yu, I didn't expect to meet you so soon. The Shichibukai are all tough nuts to crack, and you actually dared to attack them. That really surprises me."
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the warden of Impel Down Prison. Due to the sensitive nature of Crocodile's identity as a Shichibukai, I need you to personally escort him down there."
"If I may, I'm a little curious, what exactly did you do to him to make him completely lose his will?"
As the Impel Down, he holds many vicious and wicked individuals.
However, no matter how long they were imprisoned, their deeply ingrained nature would never be erased.
Crocodile's ability to become a Shichibukai (one of the Shichibukai ) makes him a formidable figure.
Magellan's intuition told him that something could have caused him to fall into such a state of destitution.
The young Fourth Admiral before us is definitely not as simple as he appears.
"Why?"
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly and downed a mouthful of strong liquor.
"Nothing much, just a good fight with him."
"If the Jail Magellan interested, we can practice."
really!
The Fourth Admiral, whose name truly reflects his character.
Just as they had guessed, their first meeting was entirely aimed at a fight.
Seeing that he couldn't find any clues in Bai Yu's words, Magellan shook his head helplessly.
" Admiral Bai Yu, you flatter me. However, I have duties to perform, and I'm afraid I cannot undertake such a battle."
"If there's nothing else, let's take the prisoner downstairs."
