Just as Luffy and Magellan were in a stalemate, a battle also erupted on the fourth level, Crimson Hell. Because of the new Okama, Luffy went directly to the second level through the massive pit that ran through Impel Down, but everyone else still took the stairs properly!
Hannybal held his naginata, "Bloodsucker," in one hand and a den den mushi in the other, giving orders.
"Recall all soldiers to the fourth basement level! Sadi-chan, Saldeath, lead all your subordinates to the fourth basement level! ...Stake your life, become the Warden!"
"Ah, no, I misspoke! It's stake your life, and give it your all!"
At the same time, on the fourth level!
Sabo, Crocodile, and Jinbe stood in a line.
The jailers' hands trembled as they clutched their guns!
"Invaders! Former Shichibukai, 'Desert Crocodile' Crocodile, 'Knight of the Sea' Jinbe!"
...And one who seems to be from the Revolutionary Army!"
"—Fire!"
Bullet after bullet rained down on the three like a curtain of rain!
Countless holes appeared on Crocodile's body, while Sabo and Jinbe activated their Armament Haki, defending firmly!
Crocodile revealed a sinister smile, a crescent-shaped sand blade appearing at his elbow, which he lightly swept towards the jailers, instantly turning them into mummies!
"Crescent Sand Dune."
Sabo leaped high into the air, landing in the crowd, his hands forming claws as he slammed them into the ground!
"Dragon's Breath."
Waves of air radiated from Sabo, causing the ground to shake and crack. The powerful impact sent hundreds of jailers falling into the magma!
Jinbe's expression was calm. His heavy fist struck the air, and instantly, the powerful shockwave sent the jailers flying!
"Fishman Karate: Arabesque Tile Fist."
The strength of the three was so immense that the jailers could only use human wave tactics to buy time... Crocodile, draped in a dark green fur coat and puffing on a cigar, walked step by step towards a cell!
"Clink, clink."
Keys fell into the cell, causing the prisoners to scramble for them!
Only the bald man sitting in the corner remained motionless.
"I want to leave this place, but I need some manpower! How about it? Will you come with me, Mr. 1?"
The bald man looked up at Crocodile, who was smiling outside the cell.
"If it's you, I'll go out for a bit... I'm a bit bored anyway!"
...Impel Down's main gate.
Blackbeard Teach stared at Shiliew of the Rain opposite him.
"Zehahahahaha, I don't know who you are, but is it worth it for someone with your power to spend his entire life in this dark Impel Down?"
"Zehahahahaha," Blackbeard spread his shoulders, declaring grandly, "Join me! I can take you to see the vast sea! My plan is about to succeed! ...Soon, I will become the Emperor who rules the world!"
"Hmph!"
Shiliew held a cigar in his mouth, his right hand resting on his famous sword, "Raiu," his eyes emitting a bloodthirsty glint... Beast Hell.
Luffy was still sitting cross-legged, but his hand was propped under his chin, calmly looking at Magellan, who was facing him as if facing a formidable enemy!
"Don't worry, I'm just waiting for my companions!"
Luffy stretched, "Actually, I don't really want to fight you. If you could let us go, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
"What a joke! Let you go? Where do you think this is? An amusement park where you can come and go as you please? ...This is the world's greatest prison! Cough, cough!"
Magellan became more agitated as he spoke, constantly coughing up blood!
"Is that so?" Luffy said indifferently, his deep eyes fixed on him, "You must have sent Shiliew to deal with Blackbeard, right? Don't you know what kind of person Shiliew is? If the two of them team up... you can imagine what would happen to Impel Down, right?"
Luffy's intention was already very clear. Even though he had already abandoned his stance for Ace, he didn't want too many lawless villains to escape if he could help it!
Fortunately, most of the sixth level was already dead!
Dealing with Magellan was simple, but cleaning up the mess would be difficult!
Magellan looked at him deeply, then turned and headed towards Blackbeard. More than following orders, he wanted to protect this "world's greatest prison!"
...At the same time, Crimson Hell!
Hannybal finally arrived with the jailers!
However, the entire Crimson Hell was filled with corpses, magma, and rubble.
Sadi-chan was hanging from the ceiling in a seductive pose.
Only Sabo's five people and a hundred new Okama remained.
Sabo slowly stepped forward, his right hand forming a claw, his voice cold, "I advise you to get out of the way. My brother is still waiting for me!"
"What a joke!" Hannybal puffed out his fat belly, brandished his naginata, and charged forward!
However, Sabo's Dragon Claw easily struck Hannybal's face, slamming him heavily to the ground!
Sabo continued forward. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his pant leg tightly, "I will absolutely not let you escape!"
A look of surprise appeared in Sabo's eyes. Even without Armament Haki, it wasn't something just anyone could withstand, at least not Hannybal!
But... Sabo looked at Hannybal, who was struggling to stand, 'Is it conviction?'
"What do you mean by saving people?" Hannybal propped himself up with his sword, blood flowing like a torrent. He shouted loudly,
"Scum of society, stop with the pretty words! ...You are nothing but notorious pirates and rebels!"
Hannybal confronted the big shots. An impatient look appeared on Crocodile's face.
"As long as you are still at sea, people will lie awake at night, afraid of losing their loved ones!"
"So, to bring peace of mind to the weak... I must lock up vicious criminals in prison!"
Hannybal's face was filled with determination, but he was met by Crocodile's golden hook. His voice was low, "The weak can only ever see an extremely narrow perspective!"
Just as the golden hook was about to touch Hannybal, a hand covered Hannybal's face.
"Bang!"
A powerful force sent Hannybal's head crashing heavily to the floor, blood splattering everywhere!
"Sorry!"
Sabo slowly straightened up and walked forward. Not a single jailer dared to stop him.
"From the moment Ace was executed, I abandoned all my stances! What you say is not important to me!"
...Crimson Hell.
Blackbeard and his crew walked arrogantly through the corridor.
"Zehahahahaha, our luck is really good! ...Now, it's time to find our crew!"
As soon as he said this, the guys in the cages instantly became agitated.
"Let me out, let me out! If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west!"
"Save me! I'm the strongman of our village, I can help you carry luggage!"
"I, I have brains!"
...The prisoners were all enthusiastically promoting themselves, but mere pirates with bounties of tens of millions were not worth considering!
Blackbeard didn't even glance at them, lifting his foot and walking away!
However, he was met by a massive, one-armed figure who calmly stared at Blackbeard's crew!
"Zehahahahaha, isn't this Warden Magellan? Why are you so disheveled?"
Blackbeard mocked Magellan. Having obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit, he was now exceptionally arrogant!
Then, "Hydra!"
Blackbeard's entire crew was wiped out.
In the shadows, a figure watched this scene, his mouth twitching!
Magellan took the elevator. Straw Hat couldn't be stopped anymore, but as for the others, he would leave as many as he could!
