"So you're Magellan?" Buggy, hands in his pockets, looked up with a fierce expression at Magellan.
Having lived for over forty years, Buggy had never felt so powerful. His confidence was through the roof.
Similarly, although Magellan didn't have much of an impression of Buggy, seeing his fearless demeanor, he became extremely cautious and looked down at Buggy. "Clown Buggy? Were you a crew member on Roger's pirate ship?"
"So what if I was? The Roger Pirates are a thing of the past." Buggy crossed his arms and sneered. "The future will be the era of the Buggy Pirates!"
Remnants of the old era?
A new era without a ship to carry us?
What nonsense!
Buggy's mind was filled with the words of Uncle Rayleigh before he died in the war at the top. With a mix of three parts sadness, two parts regret, and five parts anger, Buggy shouted at Magellan.
"Such arrogant words," Magellan squinted his eyes.
Poison gas began to emanate from his body, causing everyone to instinctively step back a few steps. At that moment…
"Men, attack!"
With a shout, over a hundred scantily clad burly men rushed out from the staircase, charging towards Magellan and the guards.
"Ladies!"
"After practicing on Level 5.5 for so long, it's finally time to show our skills!"
"Newkama Style: Aesthetic Art #44 Ultimate Technique - Zero-Teasing-Sub-Blood-Hall Fist!"
Bang—!
Screams echoed as countless punches and kicks rained down on the unsuspecting guards. In just a moment, many guards were knocked to the ground, completely losing their combat ability.
"Emporio Ivankov?"
Magellan looked in surprise at the purple-haired, square-faced figure, his face showing a hint of shock.
"The king of the okama, missing for so many years, has been hiding in Impel Down all this time?"
He had thought this guy had escaped, but it turned out he had been in Impel Down all these years, developing so many okama followers…
"Magellan, since you've discovered my hideout, it's do or die!" Ivankov said, striking a fighting pose.
Hearing this, Magellan's forehead broke out in a big question mark.
Hideout?
What hideout?
He didn't understand at all.
But in that moment of confusion…
"Chief Warden Magellan, be careful! That red-nosed pirate has Conqueror's Haki!"
Vivian's voice suddenly came from the hallway.
As the words fell…
Buzz—!
An invisible ripple spread out, and except for Magellan and a few strong ones like Hannyabal and Saldeath, the rest of the guards suddenly collapsed to the ground, eyes rolling back, knocked out cold.
Hannyabal was shocked.
"He really has Conqueror's Haki?"
The prisoners, seeing this, once again showed expressions of admiration.
"Long live Boss Buggy!"
"Boss Buggy, you're so powerful!"
Buggy: (°ー°〃)
"Haha… It's just Conqueror's Haki, don't get too excited."
Although he didn't know what was going on, the situation was that everyone seemed to be intimidated by him.
Maybe… he really did have Conqueror's Haki? He just hadn't realized it in the first half of his life, and it awakened after entering Impel Down…
Meanwhile.
"Now's the time, everyone!" Ivankov shouted loudly.
"Newkama Style: Aesthetic Art #44 Secret Technique - Dream-Strike-Condemn-Reverse Fist"
A group of okama charged towards Hannyabal and the others who were unaffected.
Similarly, the overconfident Buggy was about to face Magellan, but Ivankov pushed him aside and took the lead.
"Death Wink!"
With a face almost as large as his entire upper body, Ivankov rapidly blinked, creating a storm-like blast that sent Magellan flying far away.
After spinning in the air for a moment, Magellan steadied himself, glanced at the new tear in his uniform, and suddenly opened his mouth wide. Instantly, a large amount of poison gathered and formed bubbles, which he then shot towards the okama group.
"Everyone, dodge!" Ivankov shouted.
While shouting, he released several more Death Winks, using the resulting storms to deflect the incoming poison to unoccupied areas.
The poison quickly corroded the hard floor, creating pits. The two continued to exchange fierce attacks, while the okama and guard beast units clashed, creating a chaotic scene.
"Hiss~~ exhale!"
The mastermind behind all this, Vivian, stood at the fourth level exit, smoking a cigarette. He spoke to Jinbe and Zoro, who were hiding at the stairway corner, "Take the elevator over there to the first level, then go to the control room I marked on the map and open the Gate of Justice. You two should be able to sneak out."
After speaking, Vivian flicked his cigarette ash.
Zoro looked at him in confusion and asked, "What do we do after opening the gate? Swim out?"
"That guy is a Fish-Man, he should be able to easily find some fish to carry you," Vivian replied.
"I can indeed call some fish friends," Jinbe nodded.
"Then hurry up and go," Vivian said.
"What about you?" Zoro glanced at Vivian, "Aren't you a guard at Impel Down? Won't you be punished?"
Vivian had helped them a lot since he first joined the Navy. Now, not only had he taught Zoro Haki and Wind Breathing, but he was also helping them escape.
He's so selfless…
Zoro was moved to tears.
"Are you worried about me?" Vivian smiled, "The Navy doesn't need a pirate's concern. Don't worry, I won't be punished… Anyway, if you don't leave now, you won't get another chance."
Ahead, Magellan was using his poison to fully suppress Ivankov and the okama unit. Seeing that the battle might soon be decided, Jinbe didn't hesitate any longer and, following Vivian's instructions, rushed towards the elevator entrance on the fourth level.
On the other side.
"This is bad, this is bad, this is bad…"
Watching the intense battle, Buggy wiped the sweat from his forehead. His strong survival instinct allowed him to narrowly avoid the poison attacks and quietly approach the stairway to the third level.
But just as he was about to enter the stairway.
"Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger!"
A powerful gravity force suddenly spread out, pinning Buggy and the other prisoners firmly to the ground.
Feeling the immense pressure on his body, Buggy's face turned red, and he felt like he was about to pass out.
