138: Chapter 137 Magellan Makes His Move"Really?Am I that scary?" Luffy shook his head speechlessly, muttering to himself.He couldn't understand why these people were so afraid of him.Did he look like a monster?As he thought this, he unceremoniously threw the two guys into the cultivation space.
At that moment, Luffy even began to consider whether he should lock those two guys back up on the first floor.However, time was of the essence, and he didn't have time to think about it too much, so he hurriedly continued on his way.After all, he had more important things to do.
However, given Luffy's terrible sense of direction, unsurprisingly, he quickly lost his way on the intricate second level without anyone to guide him.Faced with this predicament, Luffy felt utterly helpless.He scratched his head and muttered to himself, "What am I going to do now?"
Left with no other option, Luffy dragged Buggy out of the training space.Buggy's eyes were rolling around, clearly still unconscious.Without a word, Luffy casually tossed a ball of fire, which landed squarely on Buggy.
"Ouch~~~, it's so hot, so hot!What did you do to me?" Buggy, awakened by the scalding heat, hopped around like a headless fly, frantically trying to extinguish the flames on his body.After finally putting out the fire, Buggy angrily roared at the innocent-looking Luffy.
Once his emotions had calmed down a bit, Buggy noticed the unfamiliar surroundings.After hearing Luffy's request, he sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation, "How am I supposed to know the way?I've never been here before." Despite his dissatisfaction and complaints, under Luffy's persuasive persuasion, Buggy reluctantly went out to scout ahead.Luffy, meanwhile, squatted down and started playing with pebbles out of boredom.A short while later, Buggy returned in a panic, followed closely by a large group of Jailer Beasts.Luffy, still playing with pebbles, was completely unaware of what was happening.Seeing this, Buggy was frantic and yelled at Luffy, "Hey!Straw Hat, what are you standing there for?Go and take care of them!Don't you want to go to the next level?"
Hearing Buggy's shout, Luffy clapped his hands and slowly stood up.Buggy quickly hid behind him, his eyes fixed on the group of menacing Jailer Beasts.Without hesitation, Luffy unleashed his Gum-Gum Machine Gun skill, a barrage of attacks raining down on the Jailer Beasts, causing them to lie on the ground groaning in pain.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Buggy finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Luffy's displeased expression, he quickly explained, "This isn't my fault!I went through so much trouble to find the exit, and then these bastards suddenly rushed out.Now is not the time to assign blame, we have to get out of here quickly!I just saw a lot of jailers gathering on this floor!"
Without a word, Buggy immediately led Luffy to the entrance to the third level.As expected, it was the same familiar tactic—Luffy grabbed Buggy by the back of his collar and easily leaped to the third level.
Compared to the suffocating beasts of the second level, this level didn't have that same suffocating feeling.However, due to the existence of the fourth level, the scorching hell, the temperature of this level was abnormally high, unbearably hot.In the cells of this level, the prisoners, having suffered from prolonged deprivation of water and food, lay there weak and powerless.
On this very floor, Luffy successfully rescued Mr.3 from Baroque Works, namely Bon Clay.As for why he was imprisoned here, it goes back to when Luffy and his crew left Alabasta.At that time, a group of Marines attempted to capture them, and at a crucial moment, Bon Clay bravely stepped forward and stopped them, resulting in his capture and imprisonment here.
After Luffy rescued Bon Clay and gave him a hearty meal, Bon Clay learned from Luffy the purpose of his trip.He immediately resolved to help Luffy rescue his brother.
Before long, the three arrived at the fourth level—the Scorching Hell.Despite wearing the ice suits Luffy had created, they were still unable to withstand the intense heat.From this level onward, the prisoners were all villains who had committed unforgivable crimes.However, these individuals didn't care about such things; their only thought was to leave this hellish place as quickly as possible.
"Warden Magellan, we've found the three guys causing trouble in Impel Down!They're currently on the fourth basement level.Two of them are prisoners, and the other is none other than the recently famous Straw Hat Pirates captain—Monkey D.Luffy!" A jailer spotted the three men searching for a way out on the fourth level through the surveillance system.Without hesitation, he immediately reported the situation to the prison's supreme ruler.
At that moment, the prison warden sat on the toilet, his face contorted in pain.After a series of splattering sounds, he finally stood up with a sigh of relief.When he heard that someone dared to cause trouble in what was touted as the world's most heavily guarded prison, his expression instantly darkened: "How dare they!To run wild on my turf!I'll see just how much this guy, hailed as the strongest of the Supernova eleven, really is!"
Having said that, Magellan strode heavily toward Luffy's direction, his steps seemingly bearing the weight of the entire world.Meanwhile, Luffy encountered Hannibal, who was eager for a promotion.Hannibal's eyes were resolute, revealing a strong desire and determination.
However, Luffy didn't pay much attention to him, only glancing at him as he lay there.Hannibal, who had fainted on the ground, continued running forward.Luffy wouldn't say he particularly liked Hannibal, but he did admire him.Especially when he saw Hannibal's fearless courage in the face of a powerful enemy, daring to draw his sword, Luffy was deeply impressed.
As Luffy and his crew continued forward, they stepped onto a steel bridge.Suddenly, countless spheres emitting purple light rained down from mid-air, like a mysterious downpour.Sensing something was wrong, Luffy immediately displayed astonishing reaction speed, swiftly blocking the two behind him and retreating without hesitation.
The moment these spheres landed on the bridge, a shocking scene unfolded—the sturdy steel bridge surface was corroded, creating huge gaps!The sight was as if it had been eroded by some powerful force, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.
"I will absolutely not allow you to continue acting so recklessly!Straw Hat Boy!First, you sneaked into this heavily guarded Impel Down, then you audaciously released some vicious prisoners, and then you caused chaos on the second level!Now you've even injured our Deputy Warden, Lord Hannibal!Hmph!Straw Hat Boy, whatever your ulterior motives for infiltrating this place, I, Magellan, will never let you audacious individuals get away with this!"
