Chapter 289 - Luffy's Journey in Impel Down Part 12

Luffy dashed forward. His speed reached over the speed of sound as he appeared next to Magellan and swept his leg to the left.

Magellan tried to punch him with his left hand. The poison on the tip of the glove was still fresh.

Suddenly, Luffy moved his leg downward, stepping on the glove and smashing it against the ground.

As Magellan fell forward, Luffy extended his other leg, spun it around, and kicked Magellan on the head.

Bang!

Magellan was struck so hard that he felt his head buzzing. He didn't even see that attack coming.

Luffy saw a far better future than his and capitalized on that to launch a counterattack.

But Luffy didn't stop. His body was already beginning to slow down.

More importantly, in this situation, the more he used Gear Second, the harder it would become to survive.

So, he had no choice but to finish this battle quickly.

He used Soru and appeared in front of the fallen Magellan.

He enlarged his arm. He didn't even need to blow air into his arm to do so.

While Luffy was growing weaker every second, his ability to adapt to the power of his Devil Fruit and Haki was growing stronger.

His control was beginning to show effect.

[Gomu Gomu No- Elephant Gun]

Magellan suddenly enlarged his body and coated it with Armament Haki and poison.

Because of the poison, Luffy had no choice but to rely on his Armament Haki.

But his body suddenly went weak.

This sudden weakness forced him to give up his Armament Haki. It almost stripped him of his Gear Third.

But he preserved and continued charging toward.

Bang!

Just like he expected, the attack didn't do much damage to Magellan. His ability to tank this attack was strong enough.

But this did give Magellan a chance to counter. He released several of the poison balls out of his mouth.

These liquid poison balls took the shape of Hydra and tried to devour Luffy whole. In an instant, Luffy used Soru to dodge the Hydra, but his speed was still slow.

There were three heads, and each head was capable of moving faster than most people.

It instantly caught up to Luffy, and before he could use Soru again, he was drenched in poison.

Thud!

Luffy fell to the ground while doing his best to get up.

At this moment, Magellan slowly walked towards him.

"You are strong. If my poison hadn't been working to slow your bodily functions, I might not have won this match despite my strength."

"But you invaded my place. This prison has never been invaded, but you broke that myth. With those poisons, you won't die, but it will be enough to slow you down until I capture you."

He said as he went forward to pick up Luffy.

But out of nowhere, he was punched in the face.

This wasn't an ordinary punch. It was an armament-coated punch, throwing him completely off and landing a decisive blow to his face.

Luffy slowly got up. His body was beyond tired. His face was panting. His breathing was unstable. He was drenched in poison.

But he couldn't stop here.

He still had to protect his friends. He still had to defeat this guy and find his way to save Ace.

"Ahem!"

Magellan felt a strong concussion but held his feet on the ground.

He coughed out some poison and straightened his back. He conjured a large amount of poison on his hand, and the poison started forming a large spear.

The spear started spinning like a drill as he dashed forward.

[Piercing Poison]

He knew that last move was Luffy's counterattack, but he didn't believe his poison didn't do anything to Luffy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to act so weak.

His belief supported him as he pierced his drill towards Luffy.

But Luffy was prepared to face this attack. He continued to resist the poison as he clenched his fist.

Channeling air into his fist, expanding it several times, he punched forward.

[Gomu Gomu No- Elephant Thor Gun]

Several bolts of lightning appeared around os his punch as Luffy's fist collided against the Magellan drill.

'First fire, now thunder? What kind of fruit did he eat?'

Magellan was stunned when he saw the lightning bolts appear around Luffy's fist. It was so confusing that he didn't know what to say.

He just focused all of his power into the drill and tried to pierce through his fist.

Unfortunately, Luffy had coated his fist with Armament Haki as he continued blocking the impact with all of his strength.

Bang!

Until the poison managed to affect his body and restrain his power. The Armament Haki slipped away, and Magellan pierced through his massive fist.

Although the drill itself couldn't pierce his skin, the poison covered his entire arm.

More importantly, underneath that arm, it was Magellan's fist coated with Armament Haki.

After breaking his giant fist, Magellan punched him on the chest and sent him flying across the fourth floor.

"Argh!"

Luffy screamed as he felt the burning sensation on his arm. Not only his arm, but this time he was feeling this pain throughout his body.

More importantly, that punch was heavy. It was so heavy that it almost broke his chest.

When he collided against the wall and fell to the ground, he coughed out some blood.

His entire body was now covered with poison, and he didn't have any more resistance against it.

But he didn't lose consciousness.

He couldn't lose consciousness. This wasn't just for him. It was to save Ace. If he lost here, he wouldn't be able to save Ace.

He must save Ace.

"You lost, Straw Hat. Even you won't be able to recover from this much poison. Since you can't recover, it is better to leave you dead."

"But for the next few days, you will feel pain for invading Impel Down. This is your punishment."

At this moment, a voice came from the side.

"Warden Magellan, I found two of the Straw Hats' accomplices."

When Magellan turned around, he saw Hannyabal running towards him while holding two people beaten beyond recognition.

"Sure enough! As you suspected, they planned to distract you here and sneak into the Sixth Floor to rescue Ace. Unfortunately, we only found two of them."

"One is still missing. But I brought the key to the fifth floor with me. So, you don't have to worry."

Hannyabal said while taking out a key from his pocket and throwing Buggy and Galdino to the ground.

At this moment, Hannyabal saw something that widened his eyes.

"Warden, Straw Hat!"

He shouted in such a shock that even Magellan, who was feeling a bit suspicious, had no choice but to look behind.

Of course, he didn't see anything.

This instantly proved his suspicion, but before he could prepare himself, he was bombarded with three attacks.

[Winter Wonderland Jete]

Hannyabal turned into Bon Clay and delivered a powerful kick to his face.

[Special Muggy Ball]

Buggy stood up from the ground and released a small cannonball from his pocket.

[Champion Strike]

Galdino made a massive armor of wax and smashed Magellan on the face.

Bang! Boom! Bang!

Three attacks caused a lot of damage and an explosion, but when the dust was removed, Magellan was standing with only a few scratches on his body.

"Did you really think that kind of attack would work against me?"

Magellan snarled as he conjured venom on his fist.

"Now, face your punishment!"

"It's not them. It's you!"

Suddenly, a chilling voice came from behind. This put Magellan's vigilance to the maximum as he coated his body with poison and Armament Haki.

But what came towards him was far beyond what his body could bear.

A gigantic fist coated with Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki.

[Gomu Gomu No]

The moment Magellan turned around, he saw a giant fist in front of him. More importantly, he saw red and black lightning surrounding this fist.

It wasn't the same as before because this fist truly terrified him.

[Roc Gun]

Luffy punched so hard that it broke several bones in Magellan's body. His Armament Haki cracked like glass, and his poison splattered everywhere.

Magellan didn't fly far away.

He fell.

He lost consciousness on the spot and fell scumming to the power of what only Emperors could wield.

'Advanced Conqueror?'

That was the last thing he could think of before falling to the ground.

It wasn't his fault. He was completely unprepared for an attack like that.

More importantly, he believed that Luffy wouldn't be able to stand up after facing his previous attack.

Unfortunately, he faced an attack that could even trouble someone like Admiral.

If he were as strong as an Admiral, or if the Warden of Impel Down could be as strong as an Admiral, Golden Lion Shiki wouldn't be able to leave Impel Down.

Especially with his weakened body and two missing legs.

But he wasn't the only one collapsing.

Luffy collapsed as well, but not before saying.

"Thank you, Bon Chan!"

At this moment, Bon Clay gave him a thumbs up and said.

"No problem, friend!"
