Luffy's side!
He unleashed over a thousand punches in just a few tens of seconds.
As early as when only a few hundred punches were thrown, Magellan's Poison Giant Soldier around his body had already disappeared.
And when the last punch was thrown.
Magellan's body was seen burning with raging flames, rocketing out like a cannonball.
Boom!
Only a loud bang was heard.
Magellan's body heavily crashed into the hard wall behind him, creating a huge crater.
Then, with a thud, he fell to the ground, lying there motionless, completely unconscious.
This sight left all the jailers dumbfounded.
They were all incredibly astonished at this moment, staring at Magellan's unconscious body lying there, motionless like puppets.
Magellan was the strongest man in this prison!
Yet he was defeated in a single blow in just a few tens of seconds!
This was simply too unbelievable for these people!
In fact, Luffy had the ability to defeat Magellan even faster.
However, there was still a fierce battle ahead, and he had to conserve his strength as much as possible.
The reason he chose Asa Kujaku was also because, besides the Haki consumed to maintain the Eight Gates state, the attacks unleashed were entirely air cannons that only consumed stamina.
He could quickly replenish stamina through food.
But Haki could not be replenished as quickly.
Fortunately, Magellan was a Paramecia user and could not elementalize himself.
Otherwise, Luffy would have had to use Haki-consuming abilities to quickly end the battle.
After Luffy defeated Magellan, the Straw Hat crew reappeared from the alternate dimension.
The remaining jailers had already lost their will to fight, but under the coercion of Chief Guard Sadi and the three Jailer Beasts, they were forced to attack the Straw Hat crew again.
And the Straw Hat crew swarmed forward, engaging in a chaotic battle with this group of people.
In the top-floor monitoring room!
When the guards saw Magellan defeated through the den den mushi monitor, everyone panicked.
Suddenly, they all became flustered, not knowing what to do.
Just then, the door to the monitoring room was suddenly pushed open.
Startled, they turned their heads sharply and saw Hannyabal struggling to walk in, clutching his stomach.
Earlier, Luffy had been in a hurry, so after merely removing Hannyabal as an obstacle, he had led his group away.
He hadn't caused him too much harm.
Now, having temporarily recovered, Hannyabal immediately came to the monitoring room to get the latest update.
"Han...Hannyabal Vice Warden!"
The guards called Hannyabal's name with panicked expressions.
"What's the situation now? Has Warden Magellan dealt with those intruders?"
As Hannyabal asked, he looked at the numerous screens.
Upon hearing this, the guards instantly became extremely flustered and exclaimed,
"It's bad, Hannyabal Vice Warden!"
"Warden Magellan was defeated by Straw Hat!"
Hannyabal exclaimed in disbelief upon hearing this.
"What?!"
As he exclaimed, he also saw Magellan lying on the ground on one of the screens.
Seeing the Straw Hat group crushing the other jailers in the prison, Hannyabal couldn't help but gasp, filled with immense fear.
"This is bad! At this rate, this prison will be breached soon!"
As Hannyabal worried, he heard several guards ask in panic,
"What should we do, Hannyabal Vice Warden?"
Hannyabal, while watching the monitor, said with an extremely grave expression,
"At this point, we must quickly report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
"Warden Magellan has been defeated; there's no one left here who can defeat these intruders."
Hearing Hannyabal's words, a guard suddenly remembered something and immediately said to Hannyabal,
"Oh, right! Hannyabal Vice Warden!"
"Just now, a Level 6 guard said that Warden Shiliew requested to be released to help."
"But because they couldn't contact Warden Magellan, they had no choice but to release him first."
"With Warden Shiliew here, he should be able to intercept the Straw Hat group, right?!"
Hannyabal was startled upon hearing this; he suddenly exclaimed,
"Who allowed them to make decisions on their own?!"
"Those idiots!"
"Shiryu of the Rain is currently a death row inmate; without Warden Magellan to suppress him, how could he willingly help us defend against the intruders?!"
As he spoke, he frantically searched the screens for the footage of Shiliew's prison on Level 6.
The other guards, upon hearing Hannyabal's words, were instantly covered in cold sweat, filled with immense terror and dread.
If, as Hannyabal said, Shiryu of the Rain didn't cooperate, he would instead become a hidden danger and trouble within the prison.
"Hannyabal Vice Warden, over here~.!"
A guard pointed to a screen and said to Hannyabal.
Everyone immediately looked over.
However, the moment he saw the screen, Hannyabal's heart turned to ashes.
As seen on the screen.
Shiliew had already been released.
A jailer brought him a sword and was handing it to him.
"Warden Shiliew, this is your sword!"
Shiliew, a cigar in his mouth, unhurriedly took the sword.
At this moment, another jailer said from the side,
"Warden Shiliew! We originally intended to ask Warden Magellan for permission."
"But we couldn't reach him!"
"Could you please explain to Warden Magellan later that we were forced to release you against regulations?"
Shiliew's lips curled up upon hearing this; he drew his sword, as if admiring it, and murmured,
"It's been a long time since I used it!"
After a sigh, he suddenly looked at the jailers, then smiled and said,
"Don't worry! I won't let you have trouble with Magellan!"
The faces of these jailers immediately broke into smiles, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in the next second, their pupils collectively widened, and they let out screams and wails.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
Blood spurted from all the jailers, and they fell down in terror and confusion.
Shiliew, meanwhile, slowly sheathed his sword, a faint cold smile on his face.
"This way, you won't have to worry about explaining to Magellan, right!"
After a cold laugh, Shiliew showed a pleased expression again and sighed,
"Killing without sin..."
"Indeed, this feeling still brings me joy and peace of mind!"
When they saw Shiliew mercilessly cut down the jailers who had released him, Hannyabal and the guards panicked.
"This is terrible!"
"This Deep Sea Great Prison will face its greatest crisis ever!"
Hannyabal quickly picked up the nearby den den mushi and immediately dialed a number.
...
Marineford!
In a conference room!
Sengoku stood uneasily in front of his desk, waiting for something.
Just then, there was a sudden rush of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Soon, a Marine rushed in anxiously.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Seeing the person, Sengoku immediately asked anxiously,
"How is it?"
The Marine panted heavily and reported,
"Whew... He's gone, as expected!"
Sengoku's expression stiffened upon hearing this; he felt a sense of unease, and anger flared in his eyes.
The Marine continued to report,
"Now, with Fire Fist Ace's execution imminent, we've entered the most dangerous period where Whitebeard could appear at any moment!"
"But nowhere on the island..."
"Can the whereabouts of the Shichibukai Blackbeard be found!"
Sengoku was about to get angry, but then he heard the Marine continue to report,
"Also, there's another matter!"
"A warship that didn't get permission to sail..."
"Just left Marineford on the exclusive sea current."
"Now that Enies Lobby has disappeared, the exclusive sea current only connects here and Impel Down."
"In other words, that warship is headed for Impel Down!"
"Although I shouldn't suspect them at a time like this!"
"But..."
The Marine stopped speaking there.
His meaning was already self-evident.
But while he dared not say more.
Bang!
Sengoku suddenly slammed the table, startling all the Marines in the conference room.
Then, they saw Sengoku's eyes filled with rage, and he roared through gritted teeth,
"That bastard!"
"To defect at such a critical moment and even run off to a place like Impel Down!"
"What exactly does he want to do?"
After roaring, Sengoku fell into thought.
His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he grew even more uneasy.
"Although that guy's bounty was zero before joining the Shichibukai."
"But he always gives me a very dangerous feeling."
"At a time like this, we cannot afford to be complacent."
"You quickly contact Impel Down."
"Tell Magellan to organize his forces in advance and be ready for battle at any time."
The Marine immediately responded,
"Yes!"
Just as he was about to leave to carry out Sengoku's order, another hurried and panicked figure rushed in.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, urgent report!"
Upon hearing this, Sengoku immediately became tense and exclaimed,
"Has Whitebeard appeared?"
"Quickly organize everyone to meet the enemy!"
No sooner had Sengoku's voice fallen than the Marine said,
"It's not Whitebeard!"
"It's Impel Down!"
Sengoku was stunned upon hearing this, his face full of confusion.
"Impel Down?!"
The Marine nodded and reported quickly.
"Impel Down just sent an urgent message, saying they have something important to report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku personally."
Upon hearing the words "urgent message" and "personally report," Sengoku's heart couldn't help but pound.
Whenever he heard such terms, it never boded well.
But even so, he said very quickly,
"Connect the den den mushi!"
The Marine immediately replied,
"It's already arranged!"
Sengoku picked up a den den mushi beside him and connected it.
"I am Sengoku!"
As soon as Sengoku announced his name, a hurried and flustered voice came from the other side.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! I am Hannyabal, the Vice Warden of Impel Down!"
"I have something important to report to you!"
Hearing that the person reporting was not Magellan, Sengoku frowned immediately, feeling uneasy.
But he didn't rush to question, instead he said,
"What is it?"
Hannyabal quickly recited the statement he had already prepared.
"Impel Down has been invaded!"
As soon as he heard the first sentence of the report, Sengoku's pupils visibly widened.
The Deep Sea Great Prison being invaded was an unprecedented event.
Who had such audacity?
For some reason, as Sengoku was thinking this, an incredibly troublesome figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.
And at this moment, Hannyabal continued to report,
"The main culprit is the Straw Hat…"
When he heard this term, Sengoku suddenly clutched his forehead, feeling a splitting headache.
He gnashed his teeth hatefully, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
This was precisely the figure that had appeared in his mind.
However, before he could get angry, he then heard an incredibly shocking and unexpected piece of news.
"~ In addition to the Straw Hat, the former Shichibukai, 'Tyrant' Bartholomew Kuma, and 'Pirate Empress' Boa Hancock, also participated in this invasion!"
At this moment, Sengoku finally couldn't hold back, a mix of shock and anger.
"What did you say?!"
"Why are Kuma and Empress with the Straw Hat?"
Hannyabal was startled by the roar but still replied,
"We don't know the reason either!"
"But it seems they are a group now!"
Hearing this, Sengoku suddenly felt as if struck by lightning.
The Straw Hat was already difficult enough to deal with, and now with two Shichibukai...
Sengoku just felt that being Fleet Admiral was becoming increasingly unbearable.
And Hannyabal's report continued.
"We don't know what their purpose is for invading the prison."
"But they have already breached the fourth level and are heading to the fifth level!"
Upon hearing this, Sengoku had already guessed something.
"They must be going to save Ace."
"But they don't know that we have already transferred Ace."
Sengoku was aware of the relationship between Luffy and Ace, so when he learned that Luffy had broken into Impel Down, he had already roughly guessed the reason.
But what made him uneasy was that the combat power of the Straw Hat plus two Shichibukai would be too difficult for Magellan to handle alone.
At this moment, he had vaguely guessed why it wasn't Magellan reporting to him.
"Magellan... was he defeated?"
Hannyabal was stunned. He felt that Sengoku's tone had suddenly become calm, even overly calm.
But he still answered truthfully,
"Yes!"
"Warden Magellan has been defeated by Straw Hat!"
"And now there's another troublesome point..."
"Shiliew took advantage of the chaos to incite a few guards, telling them he would help stop the Straw Hat, and they released him."
"As a result, as soon as he was released, he immediately killed those guards."
"After that, he destroyed the surveillance den den mushi and has been missing since!"
After reporting everything, Hannyabal nervously waited for Sengoku's response.
Even he, at this point, didn't know how to handle it.
Sengoku, after a brief silence, suddenly said to Hannyabal,
"Tell Straw Hat that I want to talk to him!"
Hannyabal was stunned.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku?!"
"Those people are heinous criminals, I'm afraid they won't..."
Hannyabal was halfway through his sentence when Sengoku suddenly roared in fury,
"Less nonsense!"
"Do as I say, quickly!"
Hannyabal and several guards were startled and immediately agreed repeatedly.
"Yes! Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
"Please wait, I will contact Straw Hat for you now!"
With that, Hannyabal immediately found the Straw Hat's figures on the surveillance.
They had just broken through the guards on the fourth level and arrived at the fifth level!
...
Level 5!
As soon as Luffy and the others arrived at the fifth level, Kuma spoke.
"From here on, the prisoners held are criminals with bounties over 100 million berries!"
"The friend I'm looking for is very likely on this level."
Luffy nodded. He was about to tell everyone to split up and search according to the characteristics Kuma described, but then he heard a voice nearby.
"Straw Hat!"
Hearing this voice, Luffy and the others were all stunned.
They all looked in the direction of the sound and saw a broadcast den den mushi on a wall, speaking through its loudspeaker.
Next to it, a surveillance den den mushi was staring directly at them.
Luffy looked at the two den den mushi in confusion. He knew without thinking that it was the prison guards speaking.
But he didn't know why these people were looking for him.
Hannyabal's voice rang out again.
"There's a communication den den mushi at the corner of the staircase passage."
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku has something to say to you!"
Hearing Sengoku's name, everyone's bodies stiffened.
Luffy also felt very confused.
None of them could figure out why Sengoku would want to talk to Luffy at this moment.
But after a brief thought, Luffy still walked to the spot Hannyabal mentioned and found the den den mushi.
