Shiryu's Decision (continued)

The prisoners were alright, having been mentally prepared, but Ivankov and the new humans he brought were genuinely startled, screaming in terror.

Naito ignored him completely, and the giant drill solidified again, drilling another huge hole in the ceiling. Naito led everyone into the hole.

A few seconds later, the ceiling was completely drilled through, and everyone was thrown into the air, arriving in a snowy wasteland.

"What exactly is this—"

Ivankov stared blankly at Naito's retreating figure.

Isn't this the same ability that acquaintance just had to crawl through the ceiling from top to bottom?

He had a vague guess in his mind, but the guess was too frightening.

"Go, Doffy,"

Naito threw Doflamingo directly into the snow. "Start searching from this level."

"Clear."

Doflamingo took a deep breath, "Just a moment!"

The earth began to tremble instantly.

The swirling snow and the buildings in the distance, amidst the snowstorm, all transformed into countless threads in that instant.

"Oh?"

Redfield raised an eyebrow with interest. "Awakening?"

Bullet's eyes flickered slightly; this was the greatest lesson he had learned from his years of training in Impel Down.

The silk threads swept across the entire fifth floor like a flood. Soon, the overwhelming silk threads pulled figures from all directions, and almost all the prisoners on this floor were drawn over by the silk threads.

Among these prisoners, three cheered excitedly.

"Doffy!!" X3

Doflamingo excitedly called out their names, "Trebol! Diamante! Pica!"

The three highest-ranking members of the Donquixote Family!

The three were instantly pulled in front of Doflamingo by the threads.

"Doffy! Great! You escaped!"

"As expected of Doffy, he easily accomplished what ordinary people cannot!"

"Let's turn Impel Down upside down, just like World did! If that guy could do it, so can we!"

The three were still excited, but they didn't notice that Doflamingo's smile had become somewhat stiff.

"Enough with the nonsense."

Naito didn't seem to care about their chatter; he simply turned and looked into the distance at the stairwell leading to the next floor.

"Here comes the nuisance."

"Huh?"

At this moment, the excited Trebol and his two companions noticed the group floating not far behind Doflamingo.

The three of them were immediately stunned.

Bullet?

Redfield?

Paris?

Have all the monsters on the sixth floor been released?

Then they heard their most revered young master's respectful reply.

"Yes, Night King!"

The three of them froze, staring blankly at Doflamingo.

The Night King, my lord?

"Prisoners! Don't even think about doing whatever you want!"

With an angry roar, the enormous Poison Dragon corroded a wide passage through the countless threads of silk.

On the other side of the passage, Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, arrived hastily with his guards, his body covered in purple venom.

However, after seeing the situation clearly, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

Douglas Bullet, Patrick Redfield, Donquixote Doflamingo, and Paris the Sharpshooter of the Ochoku Pirates.

Unlike the time with World, this time, all the monsters on the sixth floor have come out!

Damn it, I was in too much of a rush and didn't have time to check what the situation was on the sixth floor!

How can we possibly stop that?

Magellan's fingers trembled slightly.

Behind him, the Chief Warden of Impel Down, known as Shiryu of the Rain, had a cigar in his mouth and a strange glint in his eyes.

Magellan!

At this moment, a prisoner from the sixth level smugly taunted, "Weren't you so arrogant when you were torturing us? Now the tables have turned!"

"Stop acting so insolently, you scum!"

Magellan took a deep breath and stepped forward. "This is Impel Down, the great fortress of Hell, and we are its gatekeepers! You villains, don't even think about escaping here and returning to the land of the living!"

We can't just do nothing, no matter what!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Abaro Pizarro chuckled maniacally, "Magellan, then why don't you stop me from watching the cat!"

Naito couldn't help but glance at the guy sideways.

Is it really true that such an ugly creature would have such a verbal tic?

However, they were right; unlike last time when they were busy escaping, the roles of offense and defense had reversed.

Naito raised his voice, "Magellan, are you trying to stop me again?"

"Again?"

Magellan was somewhat confused.

Naito chuckled and said, "Here's a hint."

An invisible sword materialized in his hand, covered with two-colored Haki, and he casually tossed it away.

The jet-black blade pierced through the air in an instant.

Magellan's expression suddenly changed, and his entire face immediately turned deathly pale.

This ability!

"You bastard— Poison Dragon!"

A gigantic red Poison Dragon roared forth.

Without any hesitation, I activated Awakening!

However, as I said before, the roles of offense and defense have shifted.

Things are different now; the projected sword, covered in powerful Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, pierced through the Poison Dragon in an instant.

The potent poison that once corroded Naito's projection could no longer even serve as a barrier.

Magellan's expression changed drastically, and he leaped to the side in an attempt to dodge.

But in that instant, the projected sword, which had been piercing straight through, suddenly changed direction.

"What?"

Magellan's eyes widened in fury; there was no escaping it!

Puff!

The projected sword pierced Magellan's stomach, the long blade instantly piercing through his body, flipping him in the air before pinning him to the ground.

Wow!

Magellan screamed in agony, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Chief!!"

The jailers gasped in surprise.

The warden, who was invincible in Impel Down, was actually defeated in a single blow?

Who exactly is this guy?

"Target-Target Fruit, not bad."

Naito nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Paris's Target-Target Fruit is that if he locks onto a target with his eyes, his subsequent attack will definitely hit, provided it is not blocked.

Quite interesting.

"Run!!"

Pinned to the ground and unable to move, Magellan shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's the Night King! That monster is here!"

Now I understand why I was able to sneak into the sixth floor without anyone noticing!

The Night King, that monster, can possess other people. He must have left someone in Impel Down that he could possess during the last attack!

We're doomed!

They were already difficult to stop, and now they've been defeated!

"The Night King?"

The jailers were bewildered.

The ordinary prison guards had no idea what this title meant.

Only a few high-ranking members of Impel Down had their expressions change drastically at this moment.

"... The Night King?"

Shiryu stared in astonishment at the figure slowly floating towards him.

"How arrogant, Magellan! Talking about running away in front of me!"

Naito smiled, then turned his gaze to Shiryu was still somewhat bewildered.

"Shiryu, have you thought it through? If you refuse me again this time, you'll only have death to live on."

"... a truly incomprehensible ability."

Shiryu of the Rain couldn't help but sigh.

"So, what is your answer?"
