Good's counterstrike to Bullet was meant as a simple greeting, yet it sent shockwaves throughout all of Impel Down.
"Magma Fruit ability!?"
"Isn't that the Magma Fruit power of Akainu? What's going on here?"
"Did Akainu die? No, wait! This guy is the Fourth Admiral, so that means Akainu is still around…"
"If Akainu's still here, then how does this new Admiral have his ability?"
The crowd was completely baffled.
At that moment, Ace roared, "Reckless Maniac!! Why do you have my old man's Gura Gura no Mi ability!?"
Others hadn't noticed it, but Ace immediately recognized it.
The shattering air, the collapsing force—it was the same power his father wielded with the Gura Gura no Mi.
Ace's shout even made Blackbeard freeze in shock.
He stared blankly, dazed.
What in the world was going on?
How could Good have two Devil Fruit abilities?
No wonder something had felt off earlier—this Reckless Maniac Admiral also had Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi.
Blackbeard's expression turned vacant. How had Good gotten the fruit before him?
No—more importantly, how could Good even have it at all?
Only his Yami Yami no Mi was supposed to make that possible… and even then, wielding two Devil Fruits was unheard of.
Blackbeard stood there in disbelief, questioning reality.
Ace's words sent ripples through the onlookers.
"A d-double Devil Fruit user!?"
"Someone explain to me what's going on here!"
"I've never seen anyone like this before!"
"Everything happening today is beyond comprehension…"
Everyone—from the warden to the guards to the prisoners—was questioning their own understanding of the world.
What even was this Good guy?
It was like their worldview was being shattered.
While they were still in shock, part of Good's attack was stopped by the seastone cell, but enough got through to hit Bullet inside.
The searing magma only gave Bullet, with his monstrous endurance, some superficial burns.
The real damage came from the Gura Gura no Mi's destructive force, blasting him into the wall and making him spit saliva.
The humiliation burned within Bullet. As a prisoner, he couldn't move freely or use his Clank-Clank Fruit, leaving him unable to fight back.
He roared in frustration, "Damn bastard! Let me out if you've got the guts!!"
Good, however, was now having fun.
He realized that even attacking someone one-sidedly still increased his strength.
And though he could also copy Bullet's Clank-Clank Fruit, he didn't think much of it.
So for now, he was just passing the time.
Crimson Lotus: Quake Fist after Crimson Lotus: Quake Fist crashed into Bullet's cell, each blow making him cough blood as he cursed and shouted.
Even though Impel Down was incredibly sturdy, the destructive power of the Magma Fruit combined with the Gura Gura no Mi was taking its toll.
And this was Good using less than half his power—the entire sixth level still began to quake.
Magellan, shaken from his shock, quickly called out, "Reckless Maniac Admiral, you can't keep attacking! The sixth level will collapse!"
Momousagi also hurried to join in persuading him.
After a few minutes of coaxing, Good finally stopped.
Magellan exhaled in relief—Impeldown had been spared disaster.
After Shiki and Ace were secured in their cells, Good, Momousagi, and Blackbeard prepared to leave.
This time, walking through the corridor, not a single prisoner dared taunt them.
Everyone had just seen Bullet's impotent fury and the beating he took. While Bullet wasn't gravely injured, he was far from unscathed.
Soon, they reached the port.
Magellan and Hannibal came respectfully to see them off.
Good laughed heartily. "Magellan, Impel Down is pretty fun. I'll come back and play sometime!"
Magellan's heart sank instantly.
Inwardly, he groaned: My dear Reckless Maniac Admiral, you're my worst nightmare. Please, for the love of the seas, don't ever come back.
If he ever actually destroyed Impel Down, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Beside him, Hannibal's face showed thinly veiled horror. Anyone else could visit—but not the Reckless Maniac Admiral.
While they feared and respected Good, no one liked trouble, and today had come far too close to disaster.
Magellan forced a smile. "Reckless Maniac Admiral, Impel Down is heavily guarded. It's not a place for casual visits—you understand we keep dangerous criminals here…"
"So you'd better not come too often…"
Good didn't take offense and just laughed, waving it off. "It's fine! If anyone tries to escape, I'll be the first to kill them!"
Behind him, Momousagi's lips twitched—Good Admiral was clearly being politely told not to return.
Blackbeard stayed silent, his mind turning.
Good's mysterious abilities intrigued him, but he also felt a certain wariness.
Still, with Good in the Marines, their power had grown—which might play into his future plans.
Soon, Good and the others boarded the massive warship Reckless and set course for Marine Headquarters.
Back in the sixth level of Impel Down—
After they left, prisoners crowded around Shiki and Ace, asking about this new Admiral.
Ace didn't know much—he'd been focused on finding Blackbeard, then was defeated and imprisoned, with little news from the outside world.
Bullet, however, was the most agitated, glaring at Shiki. "Talk, Shiki!"
He needed to know about Good. The moment he got free, he'd reclaim his pride.
But when Shiki revealed that Good wasn't just a double Devil Fruit user, but a triple Devil Fruit user, the entire sixth level fell silent.
Bullet's eyes went wide. "A… a triple Devil Fruit user!?"
"Where did the Marines find such a monster!?"
Ace's pupils tightened, a flicker of worry crossing his face.
Once news of his capture reached his father, Whitebeard might come to rescue him—but with a triple Devil Fruit user in the Navy, the Whitebeard Pirates could only suffer heavy losses.
