Chapter 75 Monsters of Infinite Hell
Chapter 75 Monsters of Infinite Hell
"Ah, that guy was imprisoned in the Infinite Hell before, but just yesterday, or maybe the day before yesterday, you know, no one knows how long it has been in this damn place, the Navy sent people to take away Fire Fist Ace."
Crocodile glanced at Luffy and secretly guessed the relationship between the Straw Hat Boy and Fire Fist Ace.
Fire Fist is the captain of the second division on Whitebeard's ship, so it's unlikely that he has anything to do with the Straw Hats...
"What! Where was Ace taken?"
Luffy was shocked and angry. He and Sabo finally broke into the Deep Sea Prison and defeated the jailers and navy in the prison together with everyone. However, Crocodile told him that the navy had already taken Ace away!
"Who knows, but they will probably be taken to Marineford for execution. If the Navy really wants to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates..."
Crocodile sneered. In his opinion, the navy was a little too self-righteous. Whitebeard was not a weakling who would be easily bullied just because he got older.
And the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, if the navy really intends to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, they might lose all their teeth!
"Then Crocodile, you should help us! If the navy really wants to take action against Whitebeard..."
When Ivankov heard the news that Ace was taken away, he looked worried for a moment, then spoke with a smile.
"Humph! Of course! I am the only one who can take off Whitebeard's head!"
Crocodile lit his cigar and took a deep puff. He didn't want Whitebeard to die at the hands of others.
"Little Ivan, I don't have time to waste here, I have to go to the Navy Headquarters to rescue Ace!"
Luffy hurriedly ran towards the passage, but was stopped by Ivankov.
"Don't worry, we are also going to rescue Ace. The more people the better, right?"
Under Ivankov's persuasion, Luffy reluctantly stopped. As impulsive as he was, he knew that it was impossible for him to rescue Ace alone.
If he had no help, he would have set off without hesitation, but now that there were so many people wanting to help him, Luffy could barely control himself and calm down a little.
Just when the situation in Advance City was settled, the Revolutionary Army temporarily shut down the horned Den Den Mushi and prepared to contact their companions outside.
No one knew that in a shabby warship, a marine was hiding in the bottom cabin with a Den Den Mushi, constantly trying to call Marinford's Den Den Mushi.
Finally, at the moment when the horned Den Den Mushi stopped working, the Den Den Mushi was connected!
'Boom! '
Marshal Zhan Guo angrily smashed the table into pieces. Although he was known as a wise general, this was the first time he was so angry that he couldn't control his emotions.
The Deep Sea Prison was attacked by the Revolutionary Army. Magellan, the Director, was severely injured. All the prison guards below the Director were captured. More than 60% of the prisoners were taken away by the Revolutionary Army...
This series of bad news was like stomping on the navy's face, especially when the navy was preparing to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, they were stabbed in the back by the Revolutionary Army.
Even if the Whitebeard Pirates were eventually destroyed, the navy would have completely lost face.
"How is Director Magellan doing now? Can the prison guards compile a list of the escaped prisoners as soon as possible?"
Lieutenant General Ahe took the initiative to speak.
In front of her was a Den Den Mushi with a frightened expression on its face, and on the other end was the marine hiding in the cabin.
Because the warship where he was hiding was badly damaged, the revolutionary army and the escaped prisoners did not drive the warship away, which allowed him to escape by chance.
"Yes, the doctor is treating Director Magellan. He is seriously injured and poisonous. It is difficult for the doctor to treat him... There are too many prisoners who have escaped. Deputy Director Hannibal has also fallen into a coma. We can't count them for the time being. We can only preliminarily estimate based on the prison inmate list that about 60% of the prisoners have escaped..."
The Marine reported tremblingly that he was just a rookie Marine who had been in the army for less than two years and had never expected to encounter such a thing.
"How is Lieutenant General Stolloberi doing?"
Sakaski, who had just returned to the headquarters, said in a deep voice that if Marshal Warring States was still just angry, then Sakaski's mood now was like a volcano about to erupt.
Even through the Den Den Mushi, the Marine on the other end seemed to be able to feel the burning and oppressive feeling coming towards him, stinging his cheeks.
"Report... Report, Lieutenant General Stoloberg suffered a serious head injury and a fractured skull..."
The Marine mustered up his courage and barely completed the report under the pressure of Sakaski's momentum. Just after he finished speaking, his body was soaked with sweat.
"I'll go there..."
Before Vice Admiral Garp could finish his words, Sakaski interrupted him.
"Let me go! I'll send all those damned revolutionary soldiers and escaped prisoners to the bottom of the sea! Let them experience what it's like to be swallowed by lava!"
Sakaski's voice was extremely angry. Stoloberg was not only his subordinate, but also his like-minded companion.
Even within the generally radical hawkish navy, those like Sakaski and Stoloberg who are extreme enough to believe that pirates should be dealt with by any means necessary are a minority.
Stoloberg's serious injury was not only a slap in the Navy's face, but also shit on Sakaski's head.
After hesitating for a moment, Garp finally did not compete with Sakaski. The reason he volunteered was that he heard that the Straw Hat Boy was also involved in the attack on Impel Down.
Garp, who was destined to lose his grandson Ace, did not want to lose his second grandson, Luffy.
However, his duty as a navy officer reminded him at the critical moment that he should not show favoritism to pirates, even if they were his own grandsons.
Of course, this was mainly because they didn't meet face to face, otherwise Garp wouldn't know if he could keep his bottom line in front of his grandson.
"Borsalino, I want you to go for a trip!"
Marshal Zhan Guo was silent for a long time, and finally took the initiative to speak.
To everyone's surprise, Marshal Zhan Guo did not choose Sakaski who volunteered, but asked Borsalino who remained silent from beginning to end to go.
For an event as major as the attack on Impel Down, there must be a navy admiral to handle it. Of course, Vice Admiral Garp or Vice Admiral Azuru are more than enough to handle it.
However, how to deal with it in the most beneficial way to the navy, or to reduce the most losses, was the main reason why Zhan Guo made the decision.
As the execution date of Fire Fist Ace is approaching, the threat of the Whitebeard Pirates is imminent. It is very irrational to open up a second battlefield to deal with the Revolutionary Army and the escaped prisoners at this time.
If Sakaski is allowed to handle it, it would be fine if they don't catch up with the revolutionary army. But if they do, it will be a life-and-death battle.
Even if the navy wins in the end, it is bound to suffer losses. The key is that the losses caused by the capture of the city will not be alleviated.
After all, in the eyes of the world, the navy's dereliction of duty was the reason for the breach of the city. They would not care about how the navy retaliated afterwards, but would only see the fact that the world's number one prison was breached.
If Borsalino is asked to take action, unless he is absolutely sure, Borsalino will only do what he should do.
That is to rebuild the defense force of Impel Down in the shortest possible time to prevent the emergence of fanatics who imitate the Revolutionary Army and cause a second attack on Impel Down.
"Okay, leave it to me."
Borsalino scratched his head. He was a little confused at this moment. That Bear guy refused to tell him where he had photographed Luffy.
At the beginning, Borsalino was worried that Hancock would be taken advantage of, but he didn't expect that Bear would actually take Luffy to Dragon's territory.
This move was truly amazing, and what Borsalino had not expected was that Dragon would actually lead Luffy to break through Impel Down!
Is this still the Dorag he knew?
"Please, return to headquarters as soon as possible after handling this. I am going to start the execution of Fire Fist Ace ahead of schedule!"
There was anger burning in Marshal Sengoku's eyes. Once the navy destroyed the Whitebeard Pirates, the next target would be the Revolutionary Army!
"Yeah, I'll get it done as soon as possible."
Borsalino stood up and prepared to board the fastest warship to Impel Down.
If we set out from Marinford now, we can arrive before dawn if we are lucky.
"Marshal Sengoku, I request to go to Impel Down with General Borsalino!"
At this moment, Gion suddenly stood up and spoke. She wanted to send as many escaped prisoners as possible back to prison before those guys ran too far.
If it had been a few more days, it would have been almost impossible to track down the escaped prisoners.
"Go ahead. After we have arranged the affairs of Impel Down, you don't have to come back for the time being. You will be in charge of leading the team and try to catch all the pirates who have escaped from prison!"
Marshal Zhan Guo thought for a moment and said with some reluctance.
We cannot waste the general-level combat power for the escaped prisoners, but the loss of Gion will not have too much impact on the subsequent war.
In this case, it would be better to let Gion play freely. With her strength, she can at least make up for some of the losses in the city.
"Yes! Mr. Sengoku! I won't let you down!"
Gion was overjoyed. Even if he could capture one more prisoner, it would be equivalent to saving hundreds of innocent civilians.
"I can borrow your ship to give me a ride."
Borsalino patted Gion's head. He quite approved of Gion's choice.
Watching Borsalino and Gion leaving, Marshal Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them together were enough to control the situation in Impel Down. The only target he had left was the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Help me dial Marijoa's Den Den Mushi. I want to talk directly to the Five Elders."
Marshal Zhan Guo pondered for a moment, and finally decided to be cautious.
The sudden backstab of the Revolutionary Army was somewhat strange, but coupled with the power of the prisoners who escaped from Impel Down, it was enough to shake the situation in Marinford.
In this situation, Marshal Zhan Guo felt it necessary to have more trump cards at his disposal. No matter how many conspiracies and calculations he had, they would all be pale in the face of absolute conspiracy and crushing power!
On the fourth underground floor of the Deep Sea Prison, a doctor wearing a gas mask and full body protective clothing would enter the director's office every once in a while to check on Director Magellan's physical condition.
At the same time, he faced the siege of the revolutionary army including Dragon, Ivankov, Belo Betty, Mori, Lindberg and Crow.
Even in Impel Down, an environment that was suitable for Magellan to perform well, Magellan, who tried his best, was ultimately outnumbered.
Fortunately, Dragon had no intention of killing him, but only severely injured Magellan and made him unable to move.
A jailer was specially arranged to look after him, which allowed Magellan to survive.
At this time, both of Magellan's wings were broken, one of his arms was twisted unnaturally, and his whole body was covered with wounds as if cut by a sharp knife. His usually serious face was covered in blood and flesh, and it was almost impossible to recognize his original appearance.
Logically speaking, with Magellan's strength...even if he was no match for Dragon, he wouldn't be defeated so quickly.
However, he was almost out of control and fought desperately with the revolutionary army, which not only caused a lot of trouble to the revolutionary army, but also led to him being almost besieged and killed.
"Is the Director all right?"
Little Sadie, whose leather jacket was tattered, stood guard outside the director's office. Most of the gas masks in the city had been taken away by the revolutionary army, which was short of supplies.
There were only a few intact gas masks left, and they had to be left for the doctors, so little Sadie could only wait at the door for news.
"Director Magellan is in very good health and is no longer in danger of death. With normal treatment, he should be able to wake up soon."
The doctor of Impel Down took off his gas mask. Magellan had been in Impel Down for decades. His character, style and ability were impeccable. He was almost the most prestigious director in history.
Even the doctors who had only been here for a few years admired Director Magellan very much.
"That's good, as long as the Director is okay..."
Little Sadie and the Impel Down guards who were standing at the gate all breathed a sigh of relief. If even Director Magellan had gotten into trouble, they really didn't know what to do.
"The navy is here! Admiral Kizaru is here in person, and they will reach Impel Down soon!"
At this moment, the jailers guarding the first floor excitedly reported that they had reconnected the lines that had been cut off by the transsexuals.
"That's great!"
"General Kizaru is here in person!"
"Those damned revolutionaries are so hateful. If they hadn't blocked the signal..."
……
The jailers recalled what they had experienced before and could not help but cheer and curse at the revolutionary army that had long since left.
"Let's go and welcome Admiral Kizaru!"
Domino cheered herself up and spoke. Because of her weak strength, she was unable to hold on to the end and became a prisoner of the revolutionary army.
However, precisely because of this, his injuries were not so serious and he was able to command the jailers to start rescuing people. Under the leadership of Domino, the surviving jailers hurried to the first floor to greet the arrival of the admiral.
Although Impel Down City is not strictly under the jurisdiction of the Navy, it is clear that no one will question such a boring question now.
"salute!"
Almost all the jailers were injured but they still managed to stand still, watching Borsalino and Gion walking down from the warship. "Well, relax, don't be too nervous... Who is the person in charge of Impel Down now?"
Borsalino nodded and spoke in a very relaxed tone.
"Report to the General, it's me, Deputy Chief Warden Domino!"
Domino stood up nervously, and looking at the blonde beauty in front of him, Borsalino's eyes lit up.
But before he could open his mouth, he felt a sharp gaze coming from behind.
"Well, you've worked hard. How is Director Magellan doing now?"
Borsalino coughed dryly. In order to avoid the general candidate drawing his sword and slashing at the general, he decided to restrain himself for the time being.
Otherwise, if Marshal Zhan Guo knew about this, even hair dye wouldn’t be able to cover up his gray hair caused by worry.
"Director Magellan has just escaped from life-threatening danger..."
Domino also breathed a sigh of relief. Admiral Kizaru was still concerned about Director Magellan's physical condition. It seemed that the Navy Headquarters had no intention of blaming the director.
Although he often disliked Magellan's diarrhea, fearing that he would tarnish the reputation of Impel Down, Domino still recognized the director at the critical moment.
"That's good. Let's go visit Magellan first, shall we?"
Borsalino nodded and spoke to Gion behind him.
There is no rush to chase the escaped prisoners. We have to wait until the prison has compiled a list of the escaped prisoners.
"plz follow me!"
Domino quickly took Borsalino and Vice Admiral Gion and took the elevator to the scorching hell on the fourth underground floor.
Although the jailers had roughly cleaned up the Burning Hell, it was not difficult to see how fierce the battle was from the remaining traces.
"that is……"
As soon as he walked out of the elevator, Gion saw a pile of white bones. There was still an unknown black and purple liquid remaining on the bones, which was constantly eroding the inside of the bones.
"Those are the remains of prisoners killed by Director Magellan's poison."
Domino took a glance and began to explain that being poisoned by Magellan would not only result in death, but unless one's physique was inhumanly strong, the body would continue to melt after death and eventually turn into a pile of bones.
"What a powerful poison..."
Gion couldn't help but admire her. It seemed that she had somewhat underestimated Director Magellan, who was able to develop the Poison-Poison Fruit to such an extent that even if she took action, she might not be Magellan's opponent.
"Admiral Kizaru, there is only one unused gas mask left..."
Domino had a conversation with the doctor who was looking after Magellan, and finally came over with only an unopened gas mask.
If it was colleagues in the advancement city, it would not matter, but facing the admirals and admiral candidates of the navy, Domino did not have the courage to let them use the gas masks used by others.
"Give it to Gion. I don't need it."
Borsalino waved his hand and said that he and Magellan were old acquaintances. If it was before joining the dimensional chat group, Borsalino would not dare to take such a risk.
But ever since he gained the ability to act as a stand through the dimensional chat group, his strength has continued to grow with exposure to the sun, and now even Borsalino doesn't know to what extent his physical strength has been improved.
Not to mention that Magellan was still in a coma and released the poison unconsciously, even if he was awake and releasing the poison with all his strength, Borsalino would dare to take a bath in his venom.
"Eh?! General Kizaru!"
Before Domino could stop him, Borsalino opened the office door and walked in.
The condition of Magellan lying on the hospital bed was so terrible that even Borsalino, who was mentally prepared, could not help but be shocked when he saw it.
"That guy Dorag was too ruthless..."
Borsalino checked Magellan's body, frowned and cursed in a low voice.
"Director Magellan is seriously injured!"
Gion walked in wearing a gas mask. She didn't want to wear it at first, but after Domino's repeated requests, she accepted the other party's kindness.
"Well, this guy is a bargain. These are the last of my stock..."
Borsalino took out a small cloth bag from his trouser pocket, opened it and sprinkled the tiny white flowers inside on Magellan.
A magical scene appeared. These small flowers fell on Magellan's wound and merged into it directly. Then the wound that was bleeding profusely began to heal rapidly.
However, in the blink of an eye, Magellan, who was still seriously injured, was almost healed, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Uh... am I dead?"
Magellan's eyes were a little dazed, and for a moment he seemed to have not come back to his senses.
"It's still some distance from death, but not too far..."
Borsalino patted Magellan on the chest. Magellan subconsciously wanted to cry out in pain, but found that he was fine.
"Huh? My injuries are all healed? Borsalino! General Kizaru!"
Magellan finally came to his senses and jumped off the bed, looking at his hands and chest in disbelief.
It was obvious that his hands were torn into pieces by Dragon's wind blade, and his chest was blown into a bloody mess by Lindbergh's bomb.
But now the holes in the clothes are still there, but the wounds inside have completely disappeared.
At this time, Magellan finally reacted and quickly saluted Borsalino.
"Don't be so polite. Didn't we drink together before?"
Borsalino patted Magellan's shoulder. It was a bit difficult for him, who was only three meters tall, to pat the shoulder of Magellan, who was nearly five meters tall.
Fortunately, Magellan didn't stand up straight, otherwise it would have been a bit embarrassing not to be able to take many photos.
"That was many years ago. Why are you here in Push City?"
Magellan showed a nostalgic expression. Ever since he graduated from the Naval Academy, he had been assigned to Impel Down because of the ability of the Poison-Poison Fruit.
He has been here for nearly thirty years. It was Borsalino who sent him here. Unexpectedly, he has gotten into such a big trouble now. It was still Senior Borsalino who came to clean up the mess for him.
"It's just as you guessed. Don't worry too much. Marshal Sengoku isn't particularly angry. In the final analysis, it's because the Revolutionary Army is too bad. Especially Dragon is the 'most vicious criminal in the world'. It's not your fault if you can't beat him."
Borsalino tried to comfort Magellan with kind words, and Gion, who was standing behind him, twitched his lips.
Of course, the truth was not as easy as Borsalino said. Marshal Sengoku was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. However, there was no other choice except Magellan who was capable and qualified to defend Impel Down.
Gion and Kake were capable of replacing Magellan, but as candidates for admiral they had more important responsibilities and it was impossible for them to stay in Impel Down for nearly thirty years like Magellan.
It's easy to kick Magellan out, but where can we find a director for Impel Down who is strong enough and willing to work hard all year round?
"Even so, I am still to blame... Admiral Kizaru, I want to resign from the position of director, and Hannibal will replace me as director!"
Recalling his own helplessness when facing Dragon holding hostages, and Hannibal's determination to take action regardless of his own safety even though he was taken hostage, Magellan spoke very seriously.
As for himself, although Admiral Kizaru said that Marshal Sengoku was not too angry, someone still needed to be held responsible for the fall of Impel Down. Magellan had already prepared himself to commit suicide to apologize, but he just wanted to arrange a successor for Impel Down before committing suicide.
"Huh? You're the director, so just be happy. But have you ever thought that Hannibal might not be able to handle the job of director, especially with the precedent of the revolutionary army. There might be lunatics who want to imitate them in the future. What will you let Hannibal do then?"
Borsalino realized that Magellan was getting too obsessed with his own business. This guy had such a strong sense of responsibility that he was willing to risk his own life to undo his mistakes. If he didn't try to persuade him well, he might soon hear news that Magellan had committed suicide to apologize.
By that time, Marshal Zhan Guo was so angry that his blood vessels would burst. After Magellan's death, where could the navy find such a diligent and hardworking old ox?
"Eh? This..."
Magellan was also a little overwhelmed. He just wanted to take responsibility with his life, but if what Borsalino said was true, what would happen to Impel Down if he died?
Hannibal certainly has the courage and conviction to become the director, but he lacks the most important strength for the position!
"So, take good care of your wounds... Oh, no, your wounds have healed, so just live well! Don't waste my healing dandelions, they are my last stock!"
Borsalino hit Magellan on the chest, leaving the gloomy-faced Magellan alone in the office thinking about countermeasures.
"General Kizaru! The criminals on the sixth underground floor have escaped... Director Magellan?!"
At this moment, Domino, wearing a gas mask, suddenly rushed into the office and spoke in panic.
But before he could finish his words, he saw Director Magellan, who should have been seriously injured and dying, standing there as if nothing had happened. His tall figure, as always, brought others an unparalleled sense of security.
"Those damn bastards!"
Magellan was so angry that his three corpse gods jumped up and down. He had just experienced the pain of prisoners escaping from prison, which resulted in the death and injury of a large number of his subordinates. And those damn prisoners actually wanted to do it a second time!
"Your injury has just healed. Let me take care of those guys. This way, Marshal Zhan Guo won't ask about it and think I didn't do anything..."
Borsalino pressed Magellan's chest, and with just a slight force, he was unable to move forward even half a step.
At this time, on the sixth underground floor, Xilu, wearing the uniform of the chief guard, was smoking a cigar and watching expressionlessly as the prisoners took the keys to release more prisoners.
At his feet lay a jailer who had stopped breathing. It was this guy who released him under Xiliu's instigation. However, the jailer never expected that the first thing Xiliu would do after he was released was to kill his former subordinates.
One after another, tall and ferocious criminals walked out from the depths of the infinite hell, and the air seemed to begin to solidify under the pressure of these monsters.
Crescent Hunter, Katrin Diemeyer, bounty of 360 million berries!
Big Barrel, Basque Chote, bounty of 250 million berries!
The King of Evil Government, Avalo Pizarro, has a bounty of 430 million berries!
World destroyer, Bondi Waldo, bounty of 500 million berries!
The Red Earl, Barrorick Redfield, bounty of 2.635 billion berries!
Devil's Descendant, Douglas Barrett...
……
Even though the bounties on these criminals are mostly not very high.
But if you consider that they were all influential figures more than a decade or even decades ago, you can understand how terrifying these guys are.
Even the Revolutionary Army led by Dorag cannot guarantee that they can control them. It is not difficult to imagine the true strength of these guys.
In particular, there were several monsters that even Xiluo didn't dare to provoke. If it wasn't for the purpose of ensuring escape from the Impel Down City, Xiluo wouldn't even dare to let them out.
"I never thought that the famous Red Earl would be imprisoned in Impel Down..."
The evil king Avalo Pizarro narrowed his eyes and spoke with some ill intention.
There are always some guys in this sea who like to harm others without benefiting themselves, and the evil ruler Pizarro is one of the best.
Just a few words made many people look at the lonely figure not far away, either with curiosity or malicious intent.
"Put aside your stupid thoughts. Such a cheap scheme will only make me laugh."
Redfield spoke contemptuously, not even bothering to look at Pizarro.
The Red Earl was born with a powerful Observation Haki, which became stronger as he grew older and he could easily see through other people's thoughts.
However, because of this, he became accustomed to the ugly inner world of people around him, developed a great aversion to people, and developed an aloof and arrogant personality.
It is for this reason that he always travels alone on the sea and is called "Lone Red" and "Lone Ryder".
However, relying on his powerful strength, he once stood on par with Whitebeard and Roger, and was one of the strongest pirates on the sea at that time.
"You are the Lone Red, the man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Roger... If I kill you, it will be considered a step forward on the road to surpassing Roger!"
At this time, an incredibly strong figure walked out from the darkness. Many serious criminals who were originally laughing at the joke changed color when they saw this guy.
Devil's Descendant! Douglas Barrett!
This monster came out of Roger's pirate group. If you want to know how strong this guy is, you just need to know that he once resisted the Demon Slayer Order, and Sengoku and Garp did not hesitate to go out personally.
In the end, it was the pirates who had been defeated by Barrett who took advantage of Barrett's exhaustion to launch a surprise attack and finally defeated this horrible monster.
If these two monsters were to fight here, I'm afraid few of the serious criminals present would survive.
Realizing this, the prisoners subconsciously moved their feet, trying to avoid the two monsters as much as possible.
"Stop making so much noise! If you keep making so much noise, I'll blow you all up into the sky!"
However, what no one expected was that when the two monsters were confronting each other, another figure walked out of the darkness.
(End of this chapter)
