Awakened Conqueror's Haki

"Magellan, Shiryu of the Rain..."

Bullet detected the presence of the two individuals with his Observation Haki, gave a cruel smile, and immediately headed towards the ladder shaft.

Wave-Breaking Warrior.

With a flash of golden light, Dimon returned to the deck.

"Master, there are more prisoners than we expected. The blood bags we prepared are too small; we won't be able to draw blood from everyone at once."

Bethany immediately handed the blood bag to Dimon.

Initially, they estimated that there would be about thirty or forty prisoners on the sixth floor, but the actual number was several times more than they expected, exceeding one hundred.

Any one of these hundred-plus people would be a notorious pirate with a bounty of at least hundreds of millions, and some even have bounties in the billions.

In the original storyline, Blackbeard led his men into Level 6, ultimately forcing all the prisoners to fight each other, leaving only a handful of survivors. These Level 6 pirates who emerged victorious eventually became officers of the Blackbeard Pirates.

"We can come back after this batch of blood is used up."

Dimon spoke casually, having already left a hidden teleportation mark deep within the Impel Down level, making it as easy as going home when necessary.

"Ain, tell Lycaon it's time to retreat."

Lycaon rarely gets the chance to "spar" with two masters, and he really wants to fight for three days and three nights to unleash his full potential.

Despite his master's orders, he had no choice but to activate his teleportation ability to retreat and return to the Wave-Breaking Warrior.

Before retreating, he didn't forget to take Shiryu's beloved sword Raiu.

Magellan and Shiryu had no time to give chase. The next to arrive on the battlefield was Douglas Bullet, who had just escaped and was in a berserk state.

Dimon was no longer concerned about whether Bullet could successfully escape from the Impel Down.

Releasing this person is just a convenient option. It would be great if we could obtain Devil Fruit afterward, but if we break the agreement, we can capture him and use him as a blood bank.

The most urgent task is to reunite with Mammon and first turn this fresh blood of the strong into Longevity Wine.

Late at night.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

After a busy day, Sengoku returned to his residence, took a bath, and prepared to rest.

Just as I lay down, the Den Den Mushi on my bedside table started beeping rapidly.

Here we go again... They really never let us have a moment's peace.

Sengoku sighed helplessly and had no choice but to get up and answer the phone.

The Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi) perfectly mimics the anxious tone of the contact person, quickly reporting the situation:

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, something terrible has happened! The situation is extremely urgent!"

"What is it? Tell me slowly."

In the face of extremely urgent situations, the Sengoku remained unusually calm. They heard such reports every now and then, and had long since become numb to them.

Looking back, were there really that many emergencies?

However, the people below are just overreacting.

As the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, commanding millions of marines, Sengoku possessed sufficient strategic composure.

"Urgent communication from Impel Down: The Seven Deadly Sins, a mysterious organization, launched a surprise night raid, infiltrating Level 6 Infinite Hell and releasing the prisoners inside!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku jumped out of bed, his face instantly turning ashen.

"The Seven Deadly Sins, aren't they in the East Blue?"

"This... I don't know! That's what they said from Impel Down: the situation is urgent, they're requesting reinforcements!"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku was wide awake, only feeling an unbearable headache.

Not long ago, they attacked Garp in the East Blue, and just a few days later, they've returned to the Grand Line to launch a night Impel Down?

According to Momousagi's previous report, the Seven Deadly Sins possess a flying ship. With such a ship, even the Calm Belt cannot stop them, and traveling between the East Blue and the Grand Line is a piece of cake for the Seven Deadly Sins.

"What is their purpose in invading the Impel Down?" Sengoku took a deep breath and asked, barely suppressing his anger.

It is not known at this time.

"Tell Magellan, never let a single prisoner escape! Each of the pirates on the sixth floor could easily destroy a country!"

The Sengoku period roared loudly.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku immediately dialed a number and began arranging support troops.

What troubled him was that it was the time when various countries were delivering the Heavenly Tribute, and a large number of elite troops were dispatched to carry out escort missions, leaving his own forces in a state of emptiness.

Fortunately, the navy is a large and powerful nation, and it is not impossible to temporarily allocate some of its combat power.

It takes at least two hours to travel from Marine Headquarters to Impel Down by riding the Tarai Current.

"Hopefully Magellan can hold on a little longer..."

Even after quickly arranging support troops, Sengoku's headache did not lessen in the slightest.

Fortunately, things soon took a turn for the better, and he soon relaxed.

As the seven Vice Admiral assembled, a large number of marines boarded the warships, and the army prepared to set sail, communication came again from Impel Down.

It's all over...

The Seven Deadly Sins have completed their evacuation, with only Douglas Bullet escaping. He wreaked havoc in Impel Down, fought his way out of the Impel Down, and ultimately managed to steal a warship and escape.

Upon hearing the news, Sengoku's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

Chapter 121 Awakening of Conqueror's Haki

Early morning.

Having not slept all night, Sengoku, sporting dark circles under his eyes, stepped into the headquarters conference room.

Vice Admiral Vice Admiral Tsuru, clasped his hands together and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"The situation has been investigated and clarified. In the early hours of last night, the Seven Deadly Sins invaded Impel Down, reaching the lowest level and releasing Douglas Bullet, a former member of the Roger Pirates, from Infinite Hell."

During this time, Magellan and Shiryu of the Rain noticed something amiss and rushed to level 6, where they engaged in battle with one of the Seven Deadly Sins, suspected to be the 'Werewolf' Lycaon.

"Suspected?"

After sitting down, Sengoku couldn't help but frown.

Vice Admiral Tsuru pondered for a moment, carefully choosing his words before replying:

"Unlike Lycaon in previous intelligence reports, the person who fought Shiryu possessed an exceptionally strong defense. According to Shiryu's report, even his Armament Haki couldn't break through this person's defense."

Momousagi and Lycaon had previously fought, but the information they provided didn't match up at all, unless Lycaon hadn't used his true strength when he fought Momousagi.

After listening, Sengoku remained noncommittal. He had already had a headache last night, so he was unusually calm now.

"The Seven Deadly Sins' purpose in invading Impel Down was to release Bullet?"

"That should be one of their goals, besides..."

At this point, Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression became somewhat subtle. "At the time, all the prisoners on the sixth floor were unconscious. When the prisoner roster was checked afterwards, tiny needle marks were found on some of them."

Pinhole?

Sengoku's brow furrowed even more deeply. "What kind of drug was injected?"

"No, on the contrary, a large amount of blood was drawn." Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head.

"What do they want to do by drawing blood from prisoners...?"

Halfway through his sentence, Sengoku suddenly realized something, and his expression turned serious.

Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke calmly, maintaining an unperturbed demeanor despite the gravity of the situation:

"Looks like you guessed it."

"Artificial Devil Fruit... They probably looted a lot of research data when they attacked Punk Hazard!"

He suppressed his anger Sengoku.

He wasn't a scientist and didn't understand Artificial Devil Fruit technology, but after the Punk Hazard incident, he learned a little about it.

Artificial Devil Fruit require the Lineage Factor of the user as a core material, and blood is the highest quality material among them.

"Time and again, the Seven Deadly Sins have become increasingly brazen; they must be dealt with swiftly and decisively."

"This time they invaded Impel Down, draining the blood of six layers of prisoners. Next time, they might even dare to attack Marine Headquarters!"

"And Douglas Bullet... we can't ignore him either, we have to bring him back as soon as possible!"

The several Headquarters Vice Admiral who attended the meeting all had grim expressions.

Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head and said, "We still don't know where their hideout is... Secondly, their ships have the ability to fly for extended periods, just like the Flying Pirates of yesteryear. You young people probably don't know how difficult it is to deal with Golden Lion."

The Vice Admiral immediately fell silent.

How do you catch a group of people flying in the sky?

If Golden Lion hadn't gone mad and launched a preemptive attack on Marine Headquarters, he would never have been arrested.

Even so, the battle ended with the destruction of most of the headquarters before Sengoku and Garp finally defeated him.

Seeing that the entire room had fallen silent, Sengoku gave a soft hum.

"Immediately notify Aokiji and Akainu to return from the New World!"

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to deploy our Admiral.

Just as the Marine Headquarters was discussing how to defeat the Seven Deadly Sins and retaliate in kind early in the morning.

On the other side.

The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea.

Four warships formed a fleet and slowly sailed towards the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The second ship among them.

Mammon went into the naval mess hall, got his food, found an empty table, and sat down, imitating the sailors around him as they ate breakfast.

He has absolutely no liking for human food, and only eats a little to avoid showing any abnormality.

Of course, as long as he doesn't like it, eating human food won't do him any harm.

Mammon had just sat down and taken a bite when someone suddenly sat down in the seat opposite him.

He paused, and when he looked up, his pupils constricted sharply.

What are you doing here?

Mammon lowered his voice and said something, then quickly looked around, only to find that the surrounding marines were completely unaware.

Bethany smiled gently and greeted them:

"Nice to meet you, Lord Greed. No need to be nervous; no one can spot me."

One of the Seven Deadly Sins, Mammon of Greed.

Although they were already aware of each other's existence, this was indeed their first meeting.

Mammon recalls the information provided by Ain.

Bethany, Paramecia Smell-Smell Fruit user, possesses the ability to release scent particles that interfere with the senses of others.

Mammon withdrew his gaze. The surrounding soldiers were probably under some kind of strange "visual illusion," unable to see Bethany even if she were standing right in front of them.

You can't even hear a sound.
