All eyes turned to Luo Yu.
They didn't really understand what "clocking out" meant.
But everyone imprisoned on Level 6 was a prideful and brutal figure.
And being called "trash"? That was something they couldn't tolerate.
"Barrett! Hurry up and teach that arrogant blond brat a lesson! Show him what true kingly presence looks like—don't let us relics of the old era be mocked!"
Catarina Devon was the first to shout in fury.
Nearby, San Juan Wolf, Vasco Shot, and Avalo Pizarro all turned toward the far end of the corridor—toward Barrett's cell.
After so long in confinement, their powers had been sealed. The only entertainment left was watching Barrett unleash his Conqueror's Haki to rattle the guards.
Now, faced with this cocky newcomer, their only hope for payback was Barrett.
"You ignorant fools, shut up! This new Admiral isn't someone you can judge by normal standards!"
Crocodile, who had planned to stay quiet, suddenly growled.
He remembered every moment of Luo Yu's escort mission.
This was someone who had dared to blast away a Celestial Dragon.
Crocodile knew—rules didn't apply to this young man.
"Hmph. Stinking crocodile. We fought once, remember? I thought you'd grown stronger over the years. Didn't expect you'd be scared of some blond brat."
Barrett sneered, dragging his massive seastone chains as he strode to the front of his cell. He laughed disdainfully.
"Kid, let me see where your arrogance comes from. You dare call us trash in Level 6? Let me show you what true kingly might looks like!"
BOOM!
A violent surge of Conqueror's Haki exploded from his cell like a tidal wave.
It felt like a category 12 hurricane had just swept through.
The once-spacious Level 6 of Impel Down trembled under the pressure.
The reinforced cells creaked ominously.
Even the floor beneath them cracked.
Barrett's Haki might not rival Shanks', but among the many Conqueror's Haki users across the seas, he was undoubtedly top-tier.
As the terrifying pressure and spiritual force surged, Catarina and the others eagerly turned to see Luo Yu's reaction.
They were dying to see the new Admiral—and his little entourage—panic or falter.
But what they saw stunned them.
"Back up. You don't want to get caught in the crossfire," Garp said, stepping away first.
Magellan and the others were confused, but quickly followed.
They had barely retreated ten meters when an indescribable pressure erupted like a volcanic blast.
All of Level 6 felt like it was being crushed under an invisible mountain. The thick stone floor shattered.
BOOM!
Two immense waves of Conqueror's Haki collided.
The thunderous impact echoed through the prison.
Barrett's Haki was indeed stronger than Doflamingo's.
But against Luo Yu's tangible, overwhelming Haki, it was like being steamrolled.
The corridor floor cracked and crumbled.
The prisoners who had been watching gleefully—Catarina and the others—were caught completely off guard.
The shockwave slammed into them like a cannonball, sending them flying into the walls.
They were embedded into the stone, coughing blood, faces twisted in terror.
This… this wasn't the Conqueror's Haki they knew.
Even Barrett, in his cell at the end of the corridor, felt the same.
If he were at full strength, unshackled by seastone, he might've withstood it.
But now, all he could do was watch helplessly as the overwhelming force crushed everything.
"Kid… your Haki is impressive. Comparable to that so-called Pirate King. But Level 6 isn't a place for you to run wild. I don't like you—but this once, I'll lend you a hand."
An aged voice echoed from the cell beside Barrett's.
A frail figure stepped forward.
BOOM!
An even stronger wave of Conqueror's Haki erupted.
Two massive forces surged together like twin serpents, crashing into Luo Yu's Haki.
The unstoppable tide finally met some resistance.
Catarina and the others, still embedded in the walls, lit up with joy.
The pirates of Level 6 were indeed monsters—but even among them, there were levels.
If Barrett was the ceiling, then the Crimson Earl—Feld—was the one who shattered it.
With the two of them joining forces, they believed they could finally regain some dignity.
"That's the Lone Earl, Feld. I didn't think he'd get involved. He's rumored to be strong enough to rival a Yonko on his own," Magellan said, his face darkening.
Garp, tearing open a bag of senbei, looked at the old figure in the cell and laughed:
"Feld! Didn't think you were still alive."
"Honestly, you should've kept playing dead. Now you're just going to embarrass yourself."
Feld blinked, confused.
No—
Everyone in Level 6, even Magellan, was stunned.
Only a few understood what Garp meant—including Crocodile, hiding in the corner.
They knew…
The real horror was just beginning.
"Sigh… so much trouble. I've got thirty seconds left before clock-out," Luo Yu muttered.
"I was saving this move for another occasion…"
"But since I'm in a rush, I guess I'll use my new trump card now."
"System, activate the fusion card."
Ding! Please wait, host…
Ding! Congratulations, fusion card activated successfully!
