"Damn it all!" Ivankov cursed, slamming her fist. "Pack it up! Revolutionaries, get ready—we're moving out!"
With Magellan defeated, this was the perfect chance to escape. She had intended to wait for Dragon's orders, but now the storm had arrived, and she refused to sit still.
...
At the same time, the Blackbeard Pirates descended into Level Six of Impel Down.
The noisy prison fell silent the moment their footsteps echoed through the darkness.
It was like predators in the jungle suddenly sensing the arrival of something even more terrifying.
But as the prisoners saw it was only Blackbeard's crew, the mocking jeers began.
"Tch, for a second I thought that bastard Good came back."
"Hahaha, don't jinx it! If he really shows up, we're dead!"
"If he comes, I'll cut him down myself!"
Laughter filled the darkness.
Many of these men had been broken by Good before. They feared him—but in his absence, their courage returned in the form of arrogance.
Blackbeard only chuckled, his teeth gleaming in the gloom.
"Zehahaha! I like you lot—schemers, monsters, vermin! Tell me… don't you want to see the sea again?"
His words froze the chamber.
The meaning was obvious.
And when he declared his intention—to release them and let them fight for the right to join his crew—the prison erupted.
Douglas Bullet, Shiki, Redfield, Sanjuan Wolf, Catarina Devon, Avalo Pizarro, and many others—eyes glinted with madness.
Most didn't care about joining Blackbeard. But freedom? Freedom was worth killing for.
The cages cracked open.
Monsters poured out—Shiryu of the Rain, the Drunkard Vasco Shot, Abalo Pizarro the Corrupt King—each one immediately turned on the others, blood spraying across the stone floors.
Level Six descended into a second battlefield of carnage.
Blackbeard grinned wider at the sight.
"Perfect… let them slaughter. Only the strongest deserve to walk behind me."
Bullet ignored him completely, glaring with unrestrained bloodlust.
"Captain, let me deal with that bastard," Burgess snarled, stepping forward.
But Blackbeard stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"No need. Bullet isn't worth the trouble right now."
Instead, he leaned closer, his voice dropping into a chilling tone.
"The Marines are fighting Whitebeard and Red Hair. The Revolutionaries will join soon. And Good… he's burning himself out. That's when we strike. Zehahahaha!"
Bullet's eyes flickered coldly. He didn't answer—but he understood. His grudge against Good could be settled soon.
Blackbeard's first objective was complete. He had unleashed the monsters of the old era. Now, with their chaos as cover, he would head for Marineford to claim Whitebeard's fruit.
But for that, Admiral Good had to die.
...
Cages burst open one after another.
Jack, Queen, Crocodile, Jinbei, even the scattered Straw Hats—one by one they spilled into the world again, each with their own goal.
Crocodile's eyes gleamed. "This time… I'll cut down Whitebeard myself."
The calamities roared, prisoners seized Marine ships, and chaos spread like wildfire.
Impel Down, a fortress of eight centuries, had finally fallen.
From the second floor, Magellan awoke groggily. Staggering into the monitoring room, his face darkened as he saw the devastation.
"Report! Where are they heading!?"
The terrified guards stammered. "T-they stole Marine ships, sir… they're heading for Marineford!"
Magellan's pupils shrank. His fists slammed the console, venom dripping from his lips.
"This… this is a disaster!!"
The monsters of the abyss were free, and they were heading straight into the greatest war of the era.
