[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through battles with sixteen prisoners, including Catarina Devon, Vasco Shot, and Avalo Pizarro, combined with your Refining of the Haki Core, your Three Forms of Haki has been significantly enhanced.]
[The strength of Armament Haki increases by 210%.]
[The strength of Observation Haki increases by 180%.]
[The strength of Conqueror's Haki increases by 128%.]
…
Through the information in his mind, Rosen could clearly and intuitively see the growth of his own strength.
All Three Forms of Haki had ushered in a long-awaited increase of over one hundred percent—and in all aspects.
Especially Armament Haki. Because it was the one he used most frequently, the increase had directly exceeded two hundred percent.
Then he glanced at Zephyr.
This was why Rosen had said what he did to Zephyr just now, and why he told the acting seniors and instructors that there was no need for them to specially "act" for him in order to gauge whether he had given his all.
Because even he himself didn't know how strong he would become tomorrow, or even in the very next moment—so how could Zephyr or Borsalino possibly know?
No matter how they acted, it would be useless.
It was useless to try to understand more.
Even if Zephyr changed his plan every single day, he would never be able to keep up with Rosen's extraordinary comprehension.
No one could write the perfect training plan for Rosen—not even Rosen himself.
After all, even he did not truly know the extent of his own understanding.
"Teacher Zephyr, I will be an admiral of the navy soon."
"This is not a proclamation about the future—it is an established fact."
"So, you don't need to worry about how to train me better."
Rosen paused for a moment, then spoke to Zephyr.
When these words left his mouth, everyone was shocked.
But whether it was Zephyr, Borsalino, or Shiryu—who was silently eating melon seeds—after a brief moment of surprise, they quickly accepted what Rosen had said. No one had the idea of questioning it.
Even the prisoners in Infinite Hell who overheard the conversation were no exception.
However, they all overlooked one thing—
And that was, what exactly did Rosen mean by "I will soon be an admiral in the navy"?
What about tomorrow?
Zephyr was silent for a moment, then sighed in relief.
Yes.
Even though he was known as the best instructor in the navy, all he had truly taught Rosen were those few classes back at the Naval Academy.
After leaving the Academy and coming to Impel Down for his internship, Zephyr had not only been unable to continue teaching effectively, but had made frequent errors in planning, completely failing to keep up with the growth of his student.
But even so, it did not stop Rosen from advancing toward the rank of navy admiral at incredible speed.
Because this was an established fact—one that could not be changed.
Whether Zephyr taught him earnestly or casually, nothing would change.
At most, the timing might shift by a few months earlier or later.
The ending had already been determined.
"Just do as we discussed before."
"On top of yesterday's existing number, add one more prisoner each day."
"Until Infinite Hell has no more prisoners left to add."
Rosen thought about the gains the 'dance' with several prisoners had brought him and decided to keep his plan of checking into Infinite Hell exactly as it was.
"Where are these people?"
Shiryu glanced at Vasco Shot, Avalo Pizarro, and Catarina Devon, all lying on the ground, half-dead.
"Since they can survive, that's a skill in itself."
"Lock them up again."
"They might still be useful tomorrow."
Rosen cast a glance at the future trio of Blackbeard's crew.
Since he had gone all out just now, he had naturally held nothing back—but these three were indeed worthy of being ranked among the top five monsters in Infinite Hell, managing to survive even after taking his full strength head-on.
Such tenacious vitality and such outstanding performance truly made him very pleased.
When he had made his move earlier, Rosen had been a little concerned—if he truly unleashed his full power, would he end up too heavy-handed, destroying the three best 'experience packs' in Infinite Hell besides Aloof Red and the Demon's Heir?
As it turned out, whether it was the Crescent Moon Hunter, The Heavy Drinker, or the Corrupt King, all three gave him a pleasant surprise.
Although none of them were in any condition to do sit-ups, they had all survived without exception.
"Rosen!"
Hearing this, Catarina Devon—the only one of the three who had not completely lost consciousness—looked extremely ferocious.
Before her capture by Marine Headquarters, she had been the infamous Crescent Moon Hunter, feared across the seas.
Known as the most dangerous female thief.
Even imprisoned in Infinite Hell, she had remained a monster second only to legendary pirates like Aloof Red and the Demon's Heir.
But everything had changed the moment Rosen arrived at Impel Down.
Whether it was the Crescent Moon Hunter or the most dangerous female pirate, these monsters who had been erased from history by the World Government for being too dangerous and terrifying had all become Rosen's training materials.
Especially her.
This was the second time today.
"As training material, you are truly excellent."
"Whether it's the awakening of a Paramecia or Mythical Zoan Fruit, or the Fist of the King, I've seen plenty of interesting things."
"Cherish the little time you have left—you and all the other prisoners."
After exchanging a look with Catarina Devon, Rosen withdrew his gaze and turned to leave. However, as he passed Shiryu, he paused slightly.
"I want to thank you."
"Captain Shiryu."
"For telling me that the prisoners of Infinite Hell will never be manipulated."
He glanced at Shiryu.
"Heh… you don't need to thank me."
"I simply don't want to see this interesting play come to an abrupt end."
"After all, life in Impel Down is so boring, I can hardly stand it."
Shiryu said this expressionlessly.
"Can I ask you one more favor?"
"Don't rush to refuse."
"If you truly think life in Impel Down is too boring, then doing this well will definitely make your days far more entertaining for some time to come."
Upon hearing this, Rosen knew Shiryu was not lying.
Not to mention the environment of Impel Down and the fact that life there was indeed dark, oppressive, and dull—Shiryu was simply not a man content with what he had.
Especially since he was completely different from Magellan.
Magellan was a man of justice, a man of responsibility.
Shiryu had no sense of justice and disregarded his duties.
Once such a man chose to fall, he would instantly become a monster more terrifying than ninety-nine percent of the prisoners in Impel Down's Level 6.
After all, the existence that could form an 'iron wall' alongside Magellan to suppress the entirety of Impel Down was itself a monster more fearsome than the prisoners of Infinite Hell.
