Akira smiled slightly at Aokiji, and said, "You arrived so quickly. You've really worked hard, Aokiji."
Hearing Akira's words, Aokiji's mouth twitched. He was escorting Akira to prison. But this kid was actually thanking him.
Even though he was knowledgeable, he didn't know what Akira was thinking in his head when he faced Akira. Anyway, he was different from normal people.
Actually, Aokiji didn't know that Akira was very happy now. Although Impel Down was terrifying, it was much better than Navy Headquarters in his opinion.
If he was locked up in Navy Headquarters, then he would have no hope of escaping for the rest of his life.
However, Impel Down was different. Although it was in the deep sea, and was hailed as an impregnable fortress, the chances of escaping from here were much greater than Navy Headquarters in Akira's opinion.
Aokiji was escorting Akira. A few Navy soldiers followed behind him. They slowly walked down from the warship.
As soon as they arrived at the shore, Akira saw a large group of people standing opposite them, wearing uniforms that were somewhat different from the Navy uniforms.
There were as many as dozens of them. He knew that these people should be the Impel Down jailers.
Soon, a very tall man, who looked like Satan, walked over. He had two horns on his head, and a pair of black wings on his back. He looked ferocious and terrifying.
This person was the Warden of the deep sea prison, and also the strongest man in the prison. He had the Paramecia-type Doku Doku no Mi ability, Magellan.
Because he had received the news from Sengoku yesterday, Magellan knew that a heavyweight criminal would be escorted to the prison today, and it would be personally escorted by Navy Admiral Aokiji. Moreover, it was just escorting one person.
Magellan had been controlling Impel Down for many years. However, during these years, there were only two criminals who were able to have this kind of single escort, and it was personally escorted by a Navy Admiral.
One was the deceased Pirate King Roger, and the other was the only man who had escaped from their prison, Golden Lion Shiki.
These two were rare great pirates. With these two people in front, Magellan didn't dare to be careless this time either.
Sengoku had repeatedly instructed him on the phone, telling him to be careful of this person. This made Magellan wary, and also very curious.
Who exactly had so much energy that even Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku was afraid of him?
However, Magellan was immediately shocked when he saw Aokiji escorting a young man in his early twenties, because this man was too young. He was completely different from what he had imagined.
Was this young man the key figure that Sengoku had said could trigger a world-shaking war if something went wrong?
It was no wonder that Magellan was puzzled. After all, Akira hadn't shown his face on the great sea for a long time. There were very few people who had actually seen him.
Although the Navy had his wanted poster, that was also a photo from a few years ago.
Moreover, Magellan was in Impel Down. Naturally, it was impossible for him to pay attention to everything that was happening on the great sea. So it was normal for him to not recognize Akira.
"Admiral Kuzan."
With a curious mind, Magellan walked to Aokiji's front, and greeted him first.
However, it was just being polite. After all, his identity was the Warden of Impel Down. Even if he wasn't as good as a Navy Admiral, he wasn't much worse.
"Admiral Kuzan, is this the major criminal that Fleet Admiral Sengoku was talking about?"
Aokiji said with a solemn face as he handed him over, "I believe that Fleet Admiral Sengoku has told you everything that should be said. His name is Newgate D. Akira Stone, and he's known as the 'Shinigami'. He's a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, and is also one of the top few people in the Whitebeard Pirates."
Hearing Aokiji's introduction, Magellan's expression immediately changed. Although he hadn't recognized Akira, he immediately knew Akira's identity after Aokiji said it.
After all, Akira was a super rookie who had rarely appeared in recent years. He even knew that Akira was someone who was difficult for even a Navy Admiral to catch.
His 'Shinigami' title didn't come from the Whitebeard Pirates' fame. It came from his own strength.
"So it's him. No wonder."
In this instant, Magellan immediately understood why Sengoku had been so nervous when he had instructed him.
Not to mention that Akira was originally a big shot who was famous on the great sea, just his identity as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates was enough to attract attention.
Aokiji saying that he was one of the top few people in the Whitebeard Pirates was still conservative.
You had to know that his bounty was the highest among the Whitebeard Pirates besides Whitebeard. Now, it was even as high as 980 million Berries.
Aokiji said, "It's best that you know him. This kid is different from ordinary pirates. He definitely can't be underestimated. Moreover, his identity is special. You have to treat him carefully."
If it was normal, Magellan would definitely feel unhappy if Aokiji said these words to him. This was his territory. Even if Aokiji was a Navy Admiral, it wasn't his turn to instruct him.
However, Magellan didn't have this kind of thought at this moment. Although he was just the Warden of Impel Down, and didn't ask about worldly affairs, he also knew that Akira's identity was special.
What kind of world situation would be created if something happened? So he naturally didn't dare to be careless.
Magellan said, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku has already instructed me. I've also arranged the 'best' cell for him. As long as I'm here, he will never have a chance to see the light of day again."
"Hehe."
Just as Magellan finished speaking, he heard a burst of light laughter. He looked angrily towards Akira, because it was Akira who was laughing at him. He shouted, "What are you laughing at?"
Akira looked at Magellan. His height was already considered high. However, in front of Magellan, he was still like an adult and a child.
He looked at Magellan, and said, "I'm not laughing at you. I just think it's a bit laughable. I remember that there was a man named Golden Lion who escaped from here back then, right?"
Magellan's face instantly became extremely ugly the moment he heard Akira mention Golden Lion. If there was one blemish after he had taken control of Impel Down, it would definitely be the Golden Lion Shiki's escape incident.
The impregnable fortress in his eyes had actually been escaped by someone else. He was still brooding over it until now. He was naturally very angry after being mentioned by Akira.
"You."
Seeing that Magellan was about to get angry, Aokiji quickly said, "Magellan, don't bother with him. This kid has a very poisonous mouth. Don't waste your time with him."
Aokiji had the longest time interacting with Akira. He naturally knew that Akira had a somewhat poisonous mouth. That was why he was advising Magellan.
Actually, he didn't know that Akira wasn't the kind of person with a poisonous mouth. He was just like this to them Navy, because he didn't have the power to resist now.
Moreover, he wasn't the kind of person who was controlled by others. So now, he could only have a war of words.
Magellan glared at Akira fiercely. Anyway, Akira would be in his prison in the future. If he wanted to deal with Akira, there were many methods. There was no need to waste time here.
Aokiji said, "My task is considered to be completed after escorting him here. I'll leave him to you next, Magellan."
Magellan nodded, and said, "Mm, don't worry. With me here watching, he won't be able to cause any trouble."
Of course, these words were all said behind Akira's back.
Aokiji said, "Then I'll return to Navy Headquarters to report back now."
Magellan said, "Alright, then, Admiral Kuzan, we'll part ways here."
After saying goodbye to Magellan, Aokiji suddenly walked to Akira's front again. Looking at Akira, he said, "Shinigami, Newgate D. Akira Stone, although we've always been enemies, to be honest, I still admire you more."
Akira hadn't expected Aokiji to actually say these words to him. He was very surprised. However, he suddenly laughed, and said, Then I'm really honored. To be honest, I actually think that you're a good person.
However, I think that the Navy really isn't suitable for you. You can't be a Navy Fleet Admiral either. I think it's better if you just come to our Whitebeard Pirates. I believe that Old Man will definitely not mistreat you.
A look of bitterness appeared on Aokiji's face when he heard this. He had already reached this point. But Akira actually still wanted to poach him.
"I'll pass on being a pirate. I still think that the Navy is more suitable for me. On the contrary, this will probably be the last time we meet. Are you just going to say these things to me?"
Akira said, "We're enemies. Do you still expect me to say some words of gratitude to you?"
Aokiji said, Then forget it. I just wanted to warn you. Once you get to Impel Down, you won't have any way out.
Don't even think about coming out of Impel Down, and don't challenge our Navy's bottom line anymore. Otherwise, you should know what the consequences will be.
Akira chuckled twice, and didn't say anything else. He knew that Aokiji was worried that he would cause trouble in Impel Down.
That was why he had warned him in advance. It seemed that he was still a big threat in Aokiji's eyes.
After warning Akira, Aokiji left this place with his men.
"Let's go, Shinigami." After Aokiji left, Magellan glanced at Akira, and said a sentence. Then, a few jailers walked over, and escorted him.
A man who looked very ugly walked over. He was wearing an Egyptian pharaoh-like headdress, and his stomach was swollen up like a demon.
He was holding an ordinary trident in his hand. He said with a smile to Akira, "Welcome to Impel Down. I'm the Warden here, Hannyabal."
"Bang."
