"Gahahahaha!"
"Earth Release Technique!"
Bon Clay, who was following alongside Meiser, laughed heartily and said, "That guy Magellan must be absolutely furious by now!"
As long as they kept moving underground, that guy couldn't do anything to them!
"Whether he's furious enough to die, I don't know, but he definitely wants to kill us."
Meiser still vividly remembered Magellan's enraged expression.
Just thinking about that face made him want to laugh.
"Alright, we're here."
Arriving near the main gate, Meiser emerged from underground with Bon Clay, returning to the surface.
Immediately, the two noticed the figures standing at the entrance.
"Are these... the guards and the Jailer Beasts?" Bon Clay said in surprise. "What are they doing here?"
Little Straw Hat and the others should have left this place long ago. What are these guys still hanging around for?
"Who knows," Meiser chuckled. "Maybe they're waiting for a naval ship?"
They couldn't intervene in his fight with Magellan, and without a ship, they couldn't chase after Luffy and the others, so all they could do was wait here.
"Gahahaha, then they're wasting their time!"
"It's them!"
Hearing the laughter from the side, the guards turned and immediately spotted the figure they least wanted to see.
The Blood-Eyed Ninja!!
"Dammit, why is he here?!" one guard exclaimed in terror. "Where's Warden Magellan?"
Wasn't this man fighting Warden Magellan earlier? How did he end up here?
Could it be... that their warden had been defeated?
At this thought, the fear in the guards' eyes intensified.
"Gahahaha, maybe your warden is busy with diarrhea right now," Bon Clay laughed mockingly.
The guards:
Although this idea was absurd, they actually found it somewhat plausible.
Bon Clay: ???
He was just taunting them—why did they look like they believed it?
"Let's not bring that up," Meiser said with a disgusted expression. "I don't want to remember what happened before."
Bon Clay glanced at Meiser, puzzled. What happened before?
After he and Meiser had separated, had something occurred?
Just then, one guard declared, "No way! The warden must be on his way here!"
"That's right!"
"The warden ate normal food today—how could he have diarrhea?"
"Hold them off! Buy time for the warden!"
"Right!"
"Roar!!"
Hearing the shouts, the Jailer Beasts roared and charged at Meiser and Bon Clay with their weapons.
"Gahahaha, bring it on, you lot!" Bon Clay laughed boldly.
He then leaped into the air, delivering a powerful kick to the face of the Zebra Warden Beast, sending it flying backward.
"Whoosh~"
"Clatter~"
After landing on the ground, Bon Clay said softly, "My dance steps are still so graceful~"
"Gahahaha!"
After laughing heartily, Bon Clay turned to look at the other enemies and widened his eyes in shock.
"Huh?!!"
"You've already taken care of all of them?"
Seeing the guards lying on the ground and the two Jailer Beasts with their heads buried in the earth, Bon Clay's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Yeah, it's over."
Meiser calmly dispersed the Susanoo around his body and said, "Dealing with them didn't take much time. After all, these Jailer Beasts are just a bit more durable—their actual combat strength is pretty weak."
"Ah~"
"As expected of Xiao Meiser!" Bon Clay exclaimed with admiration.
Just then, Meiser raised his hand and pointed at the Zebra Warden Beast charging back from a distance. "It's coming again."
Hearing this, Bon Clay glanced behind him and said, "Damn it, I refuse to believe I can't take this thing down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man leaped into the air, intending to give the Jailer Beast another beating.
But the moment he jumped, he was caught by Meiser's Susanoo.
"Let me handle it."
Meiser placed Bon Clay inside the Susanoo and said, "We'll finish this quickly."
Bon Clay looked somewhat resigned but didn't say anything more—after all, he truly couldn't match Meiser's level of power.
He then fixed his gaze on the Zebra Warden Beast, curious to see how Meiser would defeat it.
At that moment, the Zebra Warden Beast arrived in front of them, raising its weapon and slamming it down with great force.
"Clang!!"
Zebra Warden Beast: ???
Staring at the motionless, pale golden half-body Giant, a question mark appeared above the Zebra Warden Beast's head.
Why... was its attack ineffective?
Seeing the confused expression on the Zebra Warden Beast's face, Meiser grinned and said, "You can't shake the Susanoo."
With those words, Meiser manipulated the Susanoo to grab the Zebra Warden Beast's body, lifting it into the air.
As if sensing Meiser's intent, the Zebra Warden Beast struggled violently, but unfortunately, it couldn't break free from the Susanoo's grip.
The next moment...
"Boom!!"
Meiser slammed the Zebra Warden Beast hard into the ground, planting it headfirst into the floor like an upside-down scallion.
Immediately afterward, the massive Zebra Warden Beast went limp and lost consciousness.
"So strong!" Bon Clay exclaimed.
So that's how Xiao Meiser defeated the other two Jailer Beasts—so clean and efficient!
"Alright, let's go," Meiser said, clapping his hands. "Magellan is probably on his way."
No sooner had he spoken than hurried footsteps echoed from the distance.
The two of them turned to look and immediately spotted Magellan rushing toward them.
Magellan, too, noticed the two damned individuals who had defeated the guards and Jailer Beasts.
"Damn it!" Magellan roared, his eyes turning red with fury. "You're dead!"
Seeing Magellan's enraged state, Meiser smiled faintly and said, "Looks like you're too late, Magellan~"
"Bastards, I won't let you get away with this!"
As he spoke, several Poison Dragons emerged from Magellan's body, swiftly lunging toward Meiser and Bon Clay.
However, it was a pity that this time Meiser didn't choose to directly block his attack, but instead rushed out of the main gate with Bon Clay in tow.
Seeing this, Magellan immediately halted his Poison Dragon to avoid killing all his subordinates.
He then rushed to the main entrance at top speed and looked at the two standing on the long bridge.
"Blood-Eyed Ninja, you—"
"Magellan," Meiser interrupted him. "I've already reached the open sea, and you still dare to chase me?"
"Have you... forgotten who I am?"
Upon hearing this, Magellan's expression instantly changed.
Yes, his opponent was a ninja!
Not giving Magellan any chance to act, Meiser clapped his hands together and shouted, "Experience the power of nature, Magellan!"
"Water Release: Water Surge!"
As Meiser's words fell, the seawater on both sides suddenly trembled, as if some terrifying beast was stirring beneath the surface.
The next moment, two enormous pillars of water rose from the sea, merging into a massive torrent.
This torrent then mercilessly surged toward Magellan and the guards at the main entrance!
"Boom!!"
"Damn Blood-Eyed Ninja!!"
"I will never let you get away!" Magellan roared.
No sooner had Magellan spoken than the terrifying torrent crashed into him, ruthlessly sweeping him back into the area behind.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."
Deprived of his strength by the seawater, Magellan began swallowing water uncontrollably.
Not only that, but the venom coating his arms was also washed away by the seawater, revealing the horrifying wounds beneath.
'Damn Blood-Eyed Ninja... I refuse to accept this!!'
If given the chance, he would definitely kill this wretched man!
Ah!!!
"Boom!!"
"Gulp."
Hearing the roaring sound of seawater rushing into Impel Down, Bon Clay instinctively swallowed.
"Xiao Meiser is truly as strong as a monster."
With so much seawater flooding into Impel Down, could Magellan even survive?
"Hmm, that should be enough."
Feeling it was about right, Meiser ended his ninjutsu and said, "Alright, let's go."
As his words faded, the torrents on both sides seemed to lose their power, crashing back down into the sea and merging with the ocean once more.
Bon Clay, withdrawing his gaze, glanced at Meiser and asked, "What kind of Water Release Technique are you planning to use to chase the warship?"
"Don't worry, I won't make you suffer in the seawater," Meiser replied.
The next moment, a massive Water Dragon emerged on the surface, roaring toward the distance.
"You plan to—"
Meiser didn't give Bon Clay a chance to finish, grabbing his arm and saying, "Let's go!"
After leaping onto the Water Dragon, Meiser immediately controlled it to move, swiftly charging into the distance!
Just then, a Sea King emerged from beneath the water, staring intently at the two on the Water Dragon.
It then opened its enormous maw and charged at them.
"Ah!!" Bon Clay screamed. "A Sea King!"
"Trying to eat us?" Meiser sneered. "You're not worthy!"
As he spoke, a pale golden Susanoo materialized around Meiser, then drew a pale golden spear,
He hurled it straight at the Sea King.
"Whoosh—"
"Boom!!"
The terrifying force blasted a hole right through the Sea King's body!!
"Boom!!"
The Sea King, now pierced through, let out a miserable roar and thrashed violently in the ocean.
But before it could struggle for long, several other Sea Kings surged up from below and sank their teeth into its body!
"Boom!!"
"Is this... predation?" Bon Clay exclaimed in shock.
"Bleeding in a place like this is basically a death sentence," Meiser said without turning his head. "Alright, that should keep the Sea Kings from bothering us now."
"Let's go!"
"Boom!!"
And so, Meiser and Bon Clay rode away on the massive Water Dragon, leaving behind the churning Sea Kings in their wake.
"We've already come this far, so why haven't Meiser and the others arrived yet?" Inazuma said with a worried look toward the rear. "Could something have happened?"
"Judging by the situation at the Gates of Justice, there does seem to be some trouble over there," Jimbei said, frowning.
Earlier, the Gates of Justice had opened briefly before starting to close again, only to be forced back open before they could shut completely.
From the looks of it, Meiser must be fighting Magellan for control of the Gates in the control room.
But based on the current situation, it seems Meiser has the upper hand, Jimbei thought to himself.
Now, it all depends on whether Meiser can break through and reunite with them before the Gates close again.
At that thought, Jimbei cast a worried glance into the distance.
"Meiser will definitely make it!" Luffy declared firmly, sitting cross-legged on the deck with his arms folded. "I believe in him!"
He was certain Meiser would keep his promise and catch up to them alive, together with Mr. 2 Bon Clay.
Seeing Luffy's unwavering confidence, Jimbei fell silent for a moment before saying, "Let's hope so."
If possible, he too hoped Meiser would break through in time.
Just then, the Marine ships pursuing them launched another round of cannon fire.
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
"They just don't give up, do they?" Crocodile remarked from the stern.
He then launched his own attack, intercepting all the incoming cannonballs in mid-air.
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
Once he'd dealt with the threat, Crocodile calmly retracted his hand and noticed something unusual in the distance.
"Hm?"
"A Water Dragon?"
Crocodile frowned as he watched the massive Water Dragon approaching from afar. "That's... that ninja brat's Ninjutsu!"
He never expected the kid to travel in such a manner.
Several other pirates nearby noticed it too and immediately cheered.
"Look, it's the ninja big bro!!"
"It's really him—he's here!"
"What?!"
Hearing their shouts, everyone rushed to the stern to look into the distance and spotted the man standing atop the Water Dragon.
"Meiser!!"
"Ninja big bro!"
"You finally made it, you bastard!"
Meiser's eyes lit up with a faint smile as he scanned the figures on the distant Marine ships. "Everyone's in high spirits, I see."
Then, he glanced at the warships blocking his path and said, "As for you... just stay put obediently!"
As his words fell, Meiser activated the Water Release Technique.
"Water Style: Multiple Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
One enormous water dragon after another emerged from the sea, crashing directly onto the decks of the warships!
"Ah!!"
"It hurts so much!"
"Damn it, it's just water—why is the impact so powerful?!"
Screams rose one after another, and the warships suffered varying degrees of damage. Most importantly... all the gunpowder was completely soaked!!
After accomplishing this, Meiser left without looking back, leaving behind nothing but the wailing navy.
Watching Meiser's gradually receding figure, the navy roared, "Damn Blood-Eyed Ninja!!"
"This isn't over!!!"
