"What an utterly terrifying Supreme King..."
"Impossible! Not even Roger... no! Not even Rocks reborn would be like this!"
The prisoners were filled with a mix of fear and dread. Over a dozen of them, closest in proximity, directly foamed at the mouth and fainted.
Even those old beings, usually too proud to utter a sound, those truly monstrous figures, opened their eyes at this moment, looking suspiciously at the silhouette walking through the darkness.
Who is this guy...?
Just who is he?!
At that moment.
"Heh heh heh heh..."
A somewhat sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the depths of the passage, accompanied by the crisp sound of military boots approaching.
"What a spectacle, everyone."
A tall and sturdy figure draped in a white cloak slowly emerged from the darkness.
Pa, he casually lit a cigar, the light from the lighter illuminating the face of a sinister-looking middle-aged man, and the red-gold hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Prison Chief, Rain of Shiryu!"
"Why has this freak come here too!"
The prisoners let out low cries of fear, with some even subconsciously shrinking back into the depths of their cells, clearly having a psychological shadow cast by Shiryu.
Tap, tap.
Rain of Shiryu, with a cigar in his mouth, walked slowly, leisurely until he reached a cell, suddenly drawing his sword without any warning.
Swoosh!
Blood splattered on the walls, and the prisoner who first taunted Shano widened his eyes in shock, clutching his throat and slowly falling down.
"A bunch of trash who don't know their place."
Shiryu flicked the blood off his blade and contemptuously scanned the cells on both sides:
"Do you even know what eyes are for, thinking your pathetic Supreme King is worthy to act recklessly in front of a true king?"
He turned around, facing Shano, and put on a grin, retracting his ferocity, and bowed slightly, showing respect:
"I've been waiting here for a long time, my lord. These foolish pirates are ignorant and have disturbed your peace, causing you a laughable sight."
Hmm?
Shano's eyebrows raised slightly, feeling a bit surprised, just as he was about to say something.
From the depth of the passage suddenly came the sound of clinking chains, followed closely by a hoarse and aged voice:
"From your appearance, it seems this guy isn't one of your Impel Down people, huh, hey Shiryu, have you become a traitor... When did you start groveling to outside pirates?"
With a cigar in his mouth, Shiryu slowly turned to look in the direction of the voice, a cold smile playing on his lips:
"Groveling? Hah..."
He blew a casual smoke ring and rested his sword on his shoulder, the crimson blade glimmering faintly in the darkness, tightening many prisoners' hearts:
"How ridiculous, you old relics locked in cages, long abandoned by time, of course, wouldn't understand, the magnitude of the man standing before you now."
Shiryu took a deep breath, suddenly raising his tone, angrily rebuking:
"Open your eyes and see clearly! This is the Sea Emperor who now reigns over the seas, who personally slaughtered the Four Emperors! Who has exterminated Heavenly Celestial Dragons! With a bounty exceeding fifty billion Belly—"
"Lord Shano!"
The entire 6th Floor instantly descended into a deathly silence.
Several seconds later.
From the depths of the cells came the repeated sounds of gasping.
Hey, seriously?!
Are you kidding?!
That Shiryu, he didn't make a mistake, did he?!
This... what did they just hear?!!!
