After Ace, Jinbe, and Sir Crocodile left, the remaining Prison Guards were called out to by a voice.
Head Warden Shiliew of the Rain, who was locked in a cage for reflection, called out to the Prison Guards, saying, "I heard it; it's a mess out there right now. Let me out. The prison needs my strength now, doesn't it?"
The Prison Guards looked at Shiliew, who was being held on the sixth level for reflection due to his mistreatment of prisoners. Their eyes lit up, and they immediately helped him break free from his cage. Another Prison Guard even brought over his military saber.
"Head Warden Shiliew, now is the time we need you to take action."
Shiliew took his military saber, and someone even brought him a cigar. He held the cigar in his mouth, but his gaze turned toward the other prisoners who were also locked up.
Then, with a swift stroke of his blade, Shiliew released these prisoners.
The nearby Prison Guards were somewhat surprised: "Head Warden Shiliew, why are you doing this? Shouldn't you immediately go to support Warden Magellan?"
Shiliew didn't want to explain anything to these small fry; he simply swung his famous sword, 'raiu'.
Just as the Prison Guards were about to lose their lives on the spot, a pure white military blade blocked Shiliew's 'raiu'. A young girl in a military uniform blocked the strike.
Hera looked at the crowd escaping from the sixth level, her eyes seemingly shining with light, as if she were seeing not a group of heinous criminals, but some prepared delicacies.
On the other side, a group of people appeared behind Magellan as he rushed to the battlefield. He felt two pats on his shoulder and turned around alertly. Upon seeing who it was, a look of relief appeared on his face.
Garp arrived with the others from the Argo. He patted Magellan's shoulder and said, "Alright, go deal with those people coming up. I'll handle Blackbeard's side."
Garp's aura gradually rose, as if black and red lightning were bursting from his body. It was clear that he couldn't wait to teach that fellow Blackbeard a lesson.
Hera looked at these criminals, red light emanating from her eyes: "Since you've all run out now, that means you're breaking out of prison, right?"
The City of Devouring Time enveloped the entire sixth level. The already dark sixth level became even more unsettling under the influence of the City of Devouring Time.
As the shadows moved, the entire sixth level was filled with the screams of prisoners. Some criminals were even so frightened that they shrank back into their cages, but they were still killed one by one.
Shiliew alertly watched Hera, who was immersed in the joy of energy gradually flowing into her. The 'raiu' in his hand seemed to be vibrating slightly, as if it were afraid.
Hera was immersed in the slaughter: "Why don't you people know that this cage actually protected you?"
Conqueror's Haki leaked out involuntarily.
The true powerhouses of the sixth level felt this aura. This Marine, who originally seemed like just a little kid to them, finally made them take her seriously.
Douglas Bullet, known as the 'Demon Heir', was the first to attack Hera, his arms coated in Armament Haki trained to the extreme.
Hera's eyes lit up: "Good timing. Let me see how much strength you prisoners have left."
As Garp's granddaughter, Hera was naturally not afraid of competing in physical techniques. saikū floated to Hera's side, and Armament Haki was transferred to her arms.
'Fist Bone: Impact' collided with Bullet's attacking punch. The aftershocks spread throughout the prison, and the clash could be heard everywhere in Impel Down.
Bullet and Hera both retreated violently. At that moment, a sword shadow rushed toward Hera.
"Kid, let me borrow your sword." At that moment, Shiliew realized that the 'raiu' in his hand had already disappeared.
'the lone red' Patrick Redfield sized up the 'raiu' in his hand while charging toward Hera, seemingly somewhat disgusted by this sword that didn't quite fit his hand.
saikū automatically floated into Hera's hand. The military saber, infused with spatial power, collided with 'raiu', making the entire sixth level shake.
Just then, Bullet made his move, but Hera seemed not to have reacted and did not put up a defense.
Bullet threw a punch toward Byrnndi World, who was trying to make a move. He was called the 'World Destroyer' by the World Government and was the only one among the three currently with devil fruit abilities, being a user of the Paramecia Mo Mo no Mi.
Bullet roared at the crowd: "None of you are allowed to interfere! She is my opponent!"
Redfield dodged Bullet's attack: "You lunatic, getting out of here is what's most important right now. If you don't want to leave, don't stop us."
Bullet then desisted and no longer blocked World's offensive, instead observing for an opportunity to leave.
Redfield, holding 'raiu', said, "Young lady, how about letting me leave? You can deal with the rest as you please."
Hera weighed her options. Her target this time was the members of Blackbeard's crew. Redfield and Bullet would be useful later, but she didn't want to let World go.
Hera made a little way and said, "I can let you leave, but after you go out, you cannot cause trouble for the Marines or commit crimes until you defeat me. Otherwise, stay here."
The City of Devouring Time coiled around Hera's body. Bullet and Redfield felt the pressure from Hera gradually increasing. Feeling the pressure, the two agreed to Hera's proposal.
Hera looked at the two nodding and stepped aside: "I suppose the powerhouses of the old era can keep their word."
Redfield said, "Rest assured, I will never break my promise. I will also keep an eye on this man."
Bullet gave a cold snort: "How could I break my promise? The strong have their own bottom lines."
World, hearing that he wasn't on Hera's list for release, secretly gathered power for 'Mo Mo: 100x Speed' while Hera stepped aside to make a path.
Using the Mo Mo no Mi to increase his speed to 100 times, he rushed out, wanting to get ahead of the two.
Hera's Observation Haki had already anticipated his little trick. 'Second Bullet' shot from his shadow toward World, followed immediately by 'Seventh Bullet', which froze him in place.
Seeing that the two strongest on their side were about to leave, the others, knowing this might be their last chance, also rioted and attacked Hera.
A loud explosion reached the area above Hera. Her Observation Haki discovered that Garp had already encountered Blackbeard, and Hera didn't want to waste any more time here.
In the area where the City of Devouring Time spread, dark shadows danced in the air. After harvesting the last batch of incompetent prisoners, the City of Devouring Time returned to Hera's side.
