"You want to compete with Shiryu?" Magellan frowned. "I'm sorry, Mr. Ikki, Shiryu is currently on death row. He can't just come out. And this sword was used by him before, but it no longer belongs to him. Even if you take it away, he can't say anything."
Hearing this, Ikki shook his head.
"Director Magellan, of course I know his situation. But I have rules. If a sword has its original owner, I hope to get it from him as much as possible. This is my pride as a swordsman. After all, if I didn't get the famous sword from the swordsman, I wouldn't be considered a famous sword hunter."
Ikki raised the corner of his mouth and specifically emphasized the word "hunter."
Just kidding – if he just took away the famous sword 'Raiu,' he wouldn't have the authority to properly claim it. To get the sword directly, he also needed to let someone on the ship who didn't have a partner's seal hold the famous sword first, and after a period of time, he could challenge them to gain the permission to claim it.
However, now everyone on the ship had a partner seal. It was still a little troublesome for Ikki to achieve the system's rules. It was far less convenient than challenging Shiryu to take away the famous sword.
Of course, Shiryu hadn't held the famous sword Raiu for too long, which might cause the system to not recognize the battle between him and Shiryu, making it impossible to properly claim Raiu.
But even so, Ikki felt he could still get some benefits. Shiryu was a great swordsman. Among other things, Ikki felt he could at least help obtain the challenge permission of Shiryu, a Mountain-Cutting Realm swordsman.
At that time, the partners on the ship would have another chance to master their abilities.
"Director Magellan, before we came, Fleet Admiral Sengoku should have said he could appropriately meet our conditions," Ikki continued with a laugh.
"Although Shiryu is strong, I don't think he can defeat me. In the short time since I came here, you should also know that I fought with Silvers Rayleigh and escaped unharmed. Besides, with you here, I don't think you have to worry about Shiryu running away while he's fighting me."
Magellan frowned. At this time, he also thought of the order from Sengoku. After thinking for a while, he nodded.
"Okay, I'll take Mr. Ikki to see Shiryu. But I can't guarantee whether he's willing to come out and fight you. In addition, there are many secrets inside the prison Impel Down. If you want to enter, you need to enter blindfolded and undergo a detailed physical examination. The same goes for your partners trying to get in."
"Thank you, Director Magellan. I think since Shiryu is a great swordsman, he won't refuse the challenge of another swordsman," Ikki said with a smile and nod. "As for physical examinations and other things, don't worry – I understand the rules."
At the same time, Ikki couldn't help but shake his head. Just using a blindfold to cover his vision had no effect at all on him, who controlled Observation Haki. But since Magellan said so, he wouldn't argue.
Seeing Ikki being so determined, Magellan sighed and looked at Domino beside him. Domino nodded knowingly, took three blindfolds from the guards behind her, and came to stand in front of Ikki, Nami, and Nojiko.
After saying sorry, she put on the masks for the three of them.
"Um, Ikki, can I come with you too?" At this time, Tashigi's weak voice sounded next to him.
"I don't have a problem, as long as Director Magellan agrees," Ikki shrugged nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Tashigi looked at Magellan expectantly.
"Director Magellan, please let me go with you. I also want to see a battle between powerful swordsmen."
"You... I remember you're a Marine. Although you're a Marine, since you're following Ikki now, you should also wear a blindfold," Magellan said, waving his hand.
After everything was ready, Magellan and others led Ikki and the group into the prison gate of Impel Down.
"That Ikki is really troublesome," Smoker muttered, scratching the back of his head and looking at Vivi, who stayed on the Explorer to watch the ship. "By the way, you really don't need me to take you back to the Sabaody Archipelago? If not, I'll leave by myself."
Vivi smiled and said, "If you have something to do, you can go and do it first. Also, please ask Impel Down's engineers to help us coat the Explorer. As you said before, there are engineers here who can coat."
Smoker nodded slightly, turned and walked toward a guard who was obviously an Impel Down officer.
After several rounds of communication, several engineers immediately came to the Explorer with coating tools and got busy.
More than ten minutes later
Impel Down, Level 6 prison
"Hey, Magellan, what kind of wind brought you here today?" came voices from the cells. "Haha, are there any new prisoners? Hey, you guy, how much is the bounty?"
"Stupid, those people aren't wearing chains – they shouldn't be criminals with bounties on their heads."
"What? They're not bounty prisoners? They're definitely not people who came here to apply for Impel Down jobs, right?"
"Speaking of which, the three women behind that man look pretty good. They're all my type. Hey, girls, how about you come and keep us company?"
"Yes, yes, and Sadi-chan, Domino, how about you join us too?"
Walking in the corridor of the Level 6 prison, many pirates began to jeer. Disgusting words continued to come out of their mouths.
At this moment, both Nami and the others, as well as Ikki, frowned.
"Shut your mouths, scum, if you don't want to suffer from poison," Magellan said, glancing at Ikki and others who seemed a little unhappy, and looking at the imprisoned pirates with a serious expression.
Having said that, because of Sadi-chan and the others standing next to him, he wasn't able to freely use his Poison-Poison Fruit ability. After all, once it was used, the poison evaporated into the air would also cause harm to Sadi-chan and the others.
"Um, Director Magellan, do you mind if I ask them to be quiet for a while?" Ikki took a step forward and looked at Magellan with a smile on his face.
