Magellan had long grown accustomed to Hannyabal's involuntary expressions of ambition. He said sternly, "Admiral Akainu and I will confront the enemy together; you are responsible for watching the prisoners and ensuring they don't seize the opportunity to cause trouble!"
"Yes, sir!"
Hannyabal was absolutely dependable when it came to his official duties.
After assigning the tasks, Magellan's face changed, and he immediately scurried into the restroom behind his office. As a Paramecia-type Doku Doku no Mi (Venom-Venom Fruit) user, Magellan was immune to his own toxins but frequently suffered from diarrhea.
It was said that apart from his eight hours of sleep, he only had four hours of working time, spending the remaining ten hours dealing with his stomach issues!
If he weren't so strong and needed to suppress the criminals, he would have likely been fired long ago.
Two days later, Akainu, having traveled day and night, arrived at Impel Down just before Auguro.
"Admiral Akainu, thank you for coming," Magellan personally greeted him.
The cool and fierce Akainu's eyes glinted with cold malice.
"For the sake of justice, we must completely annihilate this group of reckless pirates!"
Magellan nodded repeatedly. Truly worthy of a Marine Admiral!
Although many anime fans from the previous life didn't like Akainu, from the perspective of the World Government, Akainu was undoubtedly powerful and reliable. He executed orders meticulously, and his strength was sufficient to sweep aside over ninety percent of their enemies.
Who wouldn't value such a subordinate?
"Then, please take some rest, Admiral Akainu! According to the monitoring ships, they will likely arrive at Impel Down tomorrow!"
Magellan had everything arranged perfectly. Akainu expressed his thanks and headed to the prepared room to rest. He had rushed to get here and needed to save his energy for the coming battle.
At sea, Auguro's group had arrived at the edge of the Calm Belt closest to Impel Down. Unlike Marine warships, which have self-propulsion, the Desert Rose was a traditional sailing ship.
It should, logically, be unable to navigate the Calm Belt. The World Government didn't know how Auguro would solve this problem, but they didn't believe such a minor inconvenience would stop him.
At the edge of the Calm Belt, Auguro had Nami stop the ship.
"The Calm Belt is ahead. You and Hanatarō will stay on the ship and wait for us!"
He could use Kidō (Demon Arts) to create wind for propulsion, but the biggest danger in the Calm Belt was not the lack of wind, but the massive concentration of Sea Kings!
These marine behemoths, ranging from hundreds to thousands of meters in length, could easily be attracted by passing ships. His ship didn't have a Seastone coating for stealth, so he wouldn't risk it.
Nami, aware of the Calm Belt's dangers, nodded.
"Don't worry! We'll stay on the periphery and help attract the World Government's attention!"
Auguro nodded.
Immediately, he, Yoruichi, Soi Fan, Rukia Kuchiki, and Rangiku Matsumoto all leaped into the air, flying toward Impel Down.
Impel Down's proudly boasted first line of defense was thus effortlessly bypassed by Auguro. Flying ability held immense strategic value! Otherwise, why would an Admiral like Kizaru be deployed like a fire chief, being sent to every emergency?
At Impel Down, looking at the dead calm water, Magellan felt a wave of confusion.
"Strange, didn't they say they would arrive in a day at most? Why is there no sign of them yet?"
Hannyabal laughed.
"Could it be that they are intimidated by the name of the future Warden of Impel Down, me, and fled? Ah! I accidentally revealed my ambition again!"
Just then, the World Government's monitoring ship sent a message.
"The Desert Rose has been circling outside the Calm Belt and doesn't seem to be entering!"
Magellan was perplexed.
"What? Circling but not entering? Did they come for sightseeing?"
"Perhaps they were blocked by the Calm Belt?" Hannyabal shrugged.
"There are a lot of Sea Kings in there! Without special preparation, entering is a death sentence!"
Hearing this, a hint of disdain inevitably rose in Magellan's heart. Was this the Auguro that the World Government considered a major enemy? He couldn't even conquer the Calm Belt, and he talks about attacking Impel Down!
"It seems I overestimated them!" Magellan muttered to himself.
Just then, a teasing voice suddenly came from above.
"Yo! So many people, are you all here to greet me?"
Magellan snapped his head up.
Five figures were lined up, standing silently in the air. Magellan instantly recognized the one in the middle as Auguro!
"Five people! All of them can fly!"
Magellan's heart pounded. This was a rare ability that everyone on the seas envied! Yet, five people with the ability had appeared all at once!
After the initial shock, Magellan quickly regained his composure. He said coldly, "No matter who you are, trespassing into Impel Down is a grave crime!"
"Heh!" Auguro sneered.
"We've broken into Enies Lobby just the same, and there was no difference!"
He was here to stage a demonstration, so he intended to be as arrogant as possible!
"Arrogant!" Magellan was furious.
"Do you think Impel Down is a place you can enter and leave as you please?"
Auguro's lips curved into a slight smile.
"Magellan, today I want to see if this so-called 'impenetrable fortress' lives up to its name!"
As his voice faded, the Spiritual Pressure around Auguro began to condense, emitting a light visible to the naked eye.
"O' ruler, mask of flesh and bone, flutter, crest of the human, one who sets foot upon the crimson wall! In the distant skies, waiting for the abyss of fire! Hadō #73: Sōren Sōkatsui (Twin Lotus Blue Fire Fall)!"
Following the successful summoning of Yoruichi Shihōin, Auguro's Spiritual Pressure and all four fighting forms—Zanjutsu (swordsmanship), Hōhō (flash step), Hakuda (hand-to-hand), and Kidō (demon arts)—had all reached Seat Officer level. His Spiritual Pressure and Kidō were even at the Upper Seat Officer level.
He could now freely release high-level Hadō!
Two huge blue fire lotuses intertwined, emitting a scorching heatwave that rushed down like a falling meteor!
Magellan's pupils contracted sharply. This attack was incredibly powerful!
"Doku Gasu-dan (Poison Gas Bomb)!"
Magellan opened his mouth and spewed a large cloud of poison gas, containing a massive amount of tear gas.
Boom!
The moment the fire lotuses contacted the gas, a huge explosion occurred, shaking the very ground!
"Quick reaction! You actually thought to use the gas to detonate my Kidō!"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Auguro's eyes.
"Magellan, why don't you consider joining me in the future? It's definitely more promising than merely guarding Impel Down!"
Good heavens!
The Impel Down guards present gasped. Not only did he trespass into the prison, but he was also trying to poach their Warden directly! He was showing absolutely no respect for the World Government!
Auguro thought, I really don't put the World Government in my eyes!
As expected, Magellan roared, "Auguro, don't think there's no one in this world who can deal with you! I will personally arrest you and throw you into Impel Down!"
