Magellan took a deep breath, and a surge of dense, violent poison erupted from his body.
Hannyabal panicked the moment he saw it and shouted, "Everyone, get your gas masks on, now!"
Magellan's poison was insanely strong, but it had one huge problem.
It didn't distinguish between friend and foe.
Every time the people in Impel Down ran into Magellan, they had to put on special gas masks or they would actually die.
Everyone hurried to put their masks on while Magellan launched a fierce assault on Oguro.
"Poison Puffer!"
Magellan opened his mouth and fired dozens of toxic spheres at Oguro and the others flying through the air.
The poison of the Venom-Venom Fruit was terrifying. Even a tiny touch would corrode flesh, rot it away, and often kill.
Oguro and the others had no intention of testing that for themselves. They used Shunpo and dodged immediately.
"So fast!"
Magellan's eyes widened.
Flying at that speed?
This wasn't slower than Soru at all.
Marine officers could use Geppo to fly, but they couldn't use Soru in midair.
As for Devil Fruit users that could fly, aside from someone like Borsalino, whose fruit naturally granted insane speed, none of them could compare to Oguro and his group.
"What a bunch of monsters…" Magellan muttered in his heart.
"Spacing out in the middle of a fight isn't a good habit, you know!"
A playful voice rang out behind him.
Magellan's back went stiff. He jerked his body sideways just in time to avoid a whip kick.
Yoruichi stood where he had been moments earlier, her body wrapped in a form fitting white haori, her movements sharp and fluid, long hair fluttering like a dark night sprite.
"Poison Cloud!"
Magellan dodged while releasing a massive burst of poisonous gas that swallowed Yoruichi.
The toxin produced by the Venom-Venom Fruit could rob a person of all five senses with just a touch.
Magellan often used this move to subdue troublesome inmates.
That was also why he alone could suppress the entirety of Impel Down.
In such a closed environment, the power of his fruit reached its maximum potential.
"Tch… If Nemu's master were here, he'd definitely love you!" Yoruichi muttered.
Nemu's creator, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, was known for his love of poisons in battle.
As the spreading poison closed in, Yoruichi raised her right hand.
"Hadō 58, Tenran!"
A whirlwind spun out from her palm, expanding instantly into a massive tornado.
All that purple toxin was sucked into the vortex and blown straight toward Hannyabal and the others.
"Damn it! Everyone run!"
Hannyabal ordered the guards to retreat while he charged forward himself.
He might slack off during work, but at critical moments, Hannyabal never dropped the ball.
"Blazing Hell Cart!"
Hannyabal swung his huge naginata, Bloodsucker. Flames exploded from the blade and roared toward Tenran.
Boom!
The flames shattered on contact. Hannyabal was blasted away on the spot, his body covered in countless injuries.
The worst part was that the toxin mixed into Tenran seeped into those wounds. If he didn't get an antidote fast, Hannyabal really might die here.
"Get Hannyabal out of here now!" Magellan knew exactly how deadly his poison was and immediately ordered the rescue.
"As pirates, you think you can run wild in front of me?"
Magellan's eyes shone with a murderous red light as poison surged from his body like a tide.
The next moment, the poison gathered into three enormous flying dragons that charged at Yoruichi.
"Venom Dragon!"
The venom dripping off the dragons sizzled on the floor, corroding deep purple pits wherever it touched.
This attack was far stronger than Poison Cloud.
Touch it and you were either dead or crippled.
"Now that's more like it!" Yoruichi grinned.
"Guess I'll put in a little effort too."
Boom!
A terrifying wave of reiatsu erupted from behind her.
The force rippled through the air in visible white distortions.
Even the three venom dragons slowed down under the crushing pressure.
"What… what is this terrifying power?" Magellan felt his throat tighten.
He finally understood why the World Government regarded Oguro as such a threat.
"Sorae!"
Yoruichi swept out her right palm. The reiatsu condensed until it almost turned solid, crackling with lightning as it blasted into the venom dragons.
Boom!
Lightning tore through the air. The dragons exploded instantly.
The poison that could melt stone vanished within the thunderclap.
"Damn!"
Magellan backed up fast, barely avoiding being struck by the attack.
Yoruichi was about to chase him when a burst of scorching heat surged up behind her.
"Dog Blaze!"
An arm made of molten magma shot toward the back of her head at lightning speed.
"Royal Pirates… surrender now!"
Despite his words, Sakazuki clearly had no intention of capturing anyone alive.
"Hmph."
Yoruichi shifted her foot and disappeared from Akainu's sight.
As the Flash Goddess, even Soifon couldn't match her speed.
"Raifu!"
Yoruichi appeared above Akainu, her long right leg wrapped in crackling reiatsu as she chopped down from above.
Observation Haki warned Akainu just in time. He tilted his head, avoiding a fatal blow.
But Yoruichi was far too fast. Even though he dodged the strike to his head, her leg still slammed into his shoulder.
The feeling of impact never came. Instead, her leg sank straight into molten magma.
Akainu's elementalization not only saved him from a serious injury, it also lightly burned Yoruichi.
"Great Eruption!"
Akainu didn't waste his chance. A massive blast of magma erupted like a volcano toward Yoruichi.
She kicked the air and shot backward, instantly widening the distance by dozens of meters.
Akainu roared and detonated the Great Eruption completely.
A deafening boom followed.
The massive magma blast burst apart in midair, scattering countless volcanic bombs like a storm toward Yoruichi.
Each bomb carried enough destructive power to wipe out a small village.
If this continued, over seventy percent of Impel Down's surface structures would be destroyed.
The title of natural disaster for Logia fruits truly wasn't an exaggeration.
"Interesting."
Facing a powerful opponent, Yoruichi showed no fear. Instead, she smiled.
As a warrior, she never feared her enemies.
Boom!
A massive surge of reiatsu erupted from her back, churning like boiling water as endless Kidō energy flowed into her hands.
"Sorae… Hyakka Ryōran!"
In a single instant, Yoruichi threw over a hundred punches.
Each blast of lightning had the power of a high level Hadō.
Boom boom boom!
Akainu's volcanic bombs were swept away like fallen leaves in a storm, completely erased.
The sky was left perfectly clear.
Akainu's already dark expression grew even heavier.
This was an opponent who could match a Marine Admiral.
Worse… she wasn't in any of the World Government's previous intelligence reports.
