Chapter 77: Self-Arrest? Mere Seastone!
Impel Down — Level 6
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Magellan vs Douglas Bullet turned the deepest level into a warzone.
Thanks to Blackbeard's earlier rampage, the remaining prisoners had already been moved deeper, so the destruction stayed contained.
Rok watched the fight with folded arms, quietly impressed despite being on opposite sides.
Magellan was heavily injured, yet still trading blows evenly with Bullet.
Against Bullet's suicidal aggression, holding out like this on pure willpower was insane.
But facts were facts.
Magellan was losing. It was only a matter of time.
The only question was how much damage he could do before collapsing.
"Hahaha! I told you, Magellan, pretending you didn't see me would've been smarter!"
Bullet quickly seized complete dominance.
If not for the poison he feared, Magellan would already be dead.
"You damn criminal… as long as I'm breathing, you will never disgrace Impel Down again!"
Magellan's wounds were splitting open, blood soaking his bandages.
He knew he shouldn't be fighting in this state.
But letting Bullet walk free inside the prison? Unacceptable.
"Dignity?"
"Only the strong survive in this world. Only the strong deserve dignity!"
Bullet sneered.
Then he activated his Awakened Combine-Combine Fruit.
Rubble and steel fused instantly into a massive spherical cage.
One punch.
Magellan was slammed inside, only his head sticking out.
"You lose, Magellan. I'll let you live this time, just taking those horns as a trophy again."
Bullet leaned in, fingers reaching for the freshly reattached horns.
WHOOSH!
A tiny purple Poison Dragon erupted from the ground, latching onto Bullet's lower body.
SIZZLE!
"AAAAAAGHHH!!!"
Corrosive venom ate into his flesh.
Even the Descendant of the Devil screamed.
"You sneaky bastard!"
"Fine! I'll tear this whole prison apart!"
Bullet roared, now genuinely furious.
He had only come back for something he left behind.
Now? He'd destroy Impel Down itself.
"Hey, hey, calling it a sneak attack during a fight?"
"You just weren't good enough, Douglas Bullet."
A relaxed voice rang out.
CRACKLE!
Lightning flashed.
Rok appeared right in front of Bullet.
Bullet's entire body tensed.
How?!
He hadn't sensed anything!
And that speed… was way faster than rumored.
But fear lasted half a second.
He was Douglas Bullet. He feared no one.
SMACK!
Rok casually slapped Bullet's arm away from Magellan's horns.
And silently planted a Death God Thunder Seed on the limb.
"Rok?! How did you break out of the seastone cuffs?!"
Magellan panicked.
Rok was the most dangerous prisoner right now.
If he escaped, the entire prison was doomed!
His eyes snapped to Domino.
Only she could've helped!
Domino's heart sank.
She was about to be framed.
But after remembering how Rok had protected her earlier…
her heart finally made its choice.
"No need to throw random accusations."
"Vice-Director Magellan, why are you so sure seastone can suppress me?"
Rok smirked.
He wouldn't let Domino take the fall.
Then, under everyone's stunned gazes,
he picked up the seastone cuffs…
and locked them on himself again.
Silence.
Magellan.
Bullet.
Domino.
Every guard.
All stared like he'd lost his mind.
Escape was right there.
The prison was in chaos.
And he just… cuffed himself again?!
"HAHAHAHA! Not just a weakling, but a lunatic!"
Bullet laughed, all tension gone.
"Madman? Heh… ignorance is bliss."
Rok swept his cold gaze across the room.
The next instant.
CRIMSON LIGHTNING ERUPTED!
KRA-KOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Thunder shook the entire underwater prison.
Before everyone's wide, disbelieving eyes,
Rok flexed.
CRACK!
The seastone cuffs shattered like glass, fragments raining to the floor.
"In front of true strength…"
"Mere seastone means nothing."
