In Beast Hell,
Luffy sat on the ground, lost in thought.
Not far away, Buggy and his crew peeked out, only to see bloody venom splattered on the floor, yet within three feet of the young man, it was like pure land!
"Straw Hat! ...He actually...!"
That red figure appeared in Buggy's eyes.
Luffy, Roger, and Shanks overlapped in Buggy's mind—all domineering to the extreme, natural-born kings!
"Buggy!!"
Luffy turned his head, looking at the comical red nose, and couldn't help but laugh, "Do you want to come with us?"
"Eh—!"
"Did you hear that? Straw Hat is inviting Captain Buggy!"
"Could it be that even the legendary Sea Emperors have to give face to Captain Buggy?"
"Captain Buggy is... so cool!"
The remaining prisoners looked at Buggy as if he were a god.
"Uh—ah...!" Buggy was stunned for a moment, but with his super-fast mind, he quickly seized this wave of "popularity"!
He cleared his throat twice, "Since you need this great one's help so much... then this great one will reluctantly help you all!"
Watching Buggy, who was getting too into character and a bit carried away, even Luffy almost couldn't keep a straight face!
But thankfully, someone came to the rescue!
"Luffy, we're here!"
"Shiliew, we really owe you!"
Sabo and Teach simultaneously stepped through the gates of Beast Hell, one heading up, one heading down.
"Zehahahahaha, I see quite a few familiar faces!" Teach looked wildly at the large group of people in front of him; even after being wiped out by Magellan once, he still hadn't learned his lesson.
"Teach, no, I should call you 'Blackbeard' now, shouldn't I!" Jinbe said in a deep voice.
"Blackbeard? You're the Blackbeard who captured Ace and caused him to be executed!" Sabo's eyes burned with fury, and his right hand formed a claw!
"Wait." Luffy stood up, propping himself with his hand!
"You guys go seize the battleship first; leave him to me!" When Luffy's black and red pupils focused on Teach, Teach felt his breathing become constricted... This was extreme killing intent!
"Ding, releasing choice mission: Destiny"
"1. Spare Blackbeard Teach. Reward: Haoshoku Infusion."
"2. Kill Blackbeard Teach. Reward: Life Essence x1."
"Note: Life Essence can make the old young and heal the disabled. It restores a person's life to its most glorious prime!" (Extremely precious)
...There was no other way; Jinbe quickly left with Sabo, leaving only Teach and his useless crew on the scene!
"Zehahaha, Straw Hat, you're really arrogant, aren't you! ...Just because you're praised as the so-called 'Fifth Emperor,' you think you're invincible?"
"Speaking of which, when you get to Ace's grave... you really should thank him! If he hadn't walked into the firing line... I was originally going to capture you. Zehahahaha!"
Teach laughed uproariously, raising both hands as if he were the true victor.
Van Auger: "There are no coincidences in fate, which means..."
Doc Q: "Your luck is indeed very good, isn't it?"
Lafitte: "Now that Captain has successfully become a Shichibukai and is renowned worldwide, there's no need to take your life."
Burgess: "Your big brother fought really well back then!"
"Oh? Since you say my luck is very good, then my appearance here means...!"
"Whoosh!"
Luffy's figure appeared above Teach like a ghost, his right foot, covered in Armament Haki, emitted a terrifying aura, "...is your misfortune?"
The slipper made intimate contact with Teach's face, "Bang!"
Debris flew everywhere, and Teach was fiercely stomped under Luffy's foot!
Van Auger made a snap decision, raised his gun, and pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
A Bullet cut through the air, piercing Luffy!
However, "An afterimage!" Everyone was shocked!
Luffy's figure appeared in front of Van Auger, and with Armament Haki, he delivered a slap!
"—Smack!"
Van Auger was sent flying heavily.
"Damn it!"
Behind him, a giant figure loomed over Luffy; Burgess attacked Luffy with a fist the size of a cooking pot!
"—Ding!"
It was suspended by Luffy's index finger, then he clenched his fist.
"Bang!" Burgess was also sent flying.
On the other side, Teach slowly crawled up, "Zehaha!"
"Bang!"
However, a foot landed heavily on his face, and the immense force crushed Teach, leaving him with no temper at all!
Luffy's foot was on Teach's head, and he looked around, "Anyone else want to try?"
Everyone cowered, even Shiliew didn't dare to move!
"Tsk! Zzzzt!"
Black lightning, like strands of hair, tightly coiled, instantly transforming into a lightning dragon that surged towards several people!
After the lightning passed, everyone on the floor was down! Except for... Shiliew!
Shiliew drew his [Raiu] and barely managed to block the lightning dragon, but Luffy retaliated with a punch that slammed into the sword's body!
"Clang—!"
The famous sword wailed, and the outward-flowing Armament Haki continuously tore at Shiliew's body. Just like that, Shiliew went offline (pretending).
"Only you are left!" The pupils under the straw hat stared at Teach, who was covered in blood and struggling to get up.
Teach extended his left hand, and darkness surged like a tide, forming a dark vortex that emitted a heavy gravitational pull!
Luffy's body was sucked towards it; of course, he didn't intend to stop it.
The moment Teach's hand touched Luffy, he realized that the Devil Fruit's power was suppressed!
"Zehahahaha, as long as I catch you,..."
Teach's voice abruptly stopped. His eyes widened as he saw Luffy's hand firmly gripping Teach's head.
The Armament Haki, emanating an abyssal aura, flowed and covered him.
Grabbing Teach's head, Luffy leaped high, and a destructive aura rose!
"No, no, don't!"
Teach instantly turned pale with fright.
Pure Armament Haki condensed into a dazzling black cross-shaped light in mid-air. Luffy began to exert force, and his small arm actually erupted with strength exceeding that of a giant!
"Bone Fist—Meteor"
"Whoosh!"
Teach was engulfed by the powerful force, transforming into a deep black light, falling from Level 2 downwards, piercing through layer after layer of flooring, triggering explosion after explosion!
At the same time,
The escape team arrived at the Impel Down entrance.
The prisoners excitedly bathed in the sunlight, but the battleships gradually fading into the distance worried them.
Of course, this was not difficult for the Fishman Jinbe!
He picked up a wooden door, jumped into the water, and took Crocodile and Sabo to seize a battleship!
Meanwhile, Magellan encountered real trouble.
In Level 6: Infinite Hell,
A powerful, burly figure with a fierce aura walked out of the dust, stepping on flesh and blood.
"What a long-awaited freedom!"
As his voice fell, a terrifying, violent aura, like a tidal wave, erupted, spreading out in all directions as a mighty shockwave.
The world seemed to lose all its colors, turning into a gray-white expanse.
"Stop right there, Bullet!"
Magellan roared, and blood-red venom tightly enveloped him, transforming into a gigantic figure.
The surroundings all turned into a domain of venom!
"Poison, huh? It's really troublesome, but,"
Bullet sneered, "I have a promise with that brat! ...I'm going to leave here and become... the strongest in the world!"
"Crackling!"
Eerie blue lightning flickered in and out of existence in the void, gradually coiling around his arm, and a destructive aura spread!
Magellan's expression was as unpleasant as if he had eaten excrement.
"Haoshoku Infusion!!"
...At the same time, in the Freezing Hell!
Teach lay covered in blood in the icy snow, his bones broken in countless places.
A figure wearing a straw hat stood calmly in the snow, his black cloak stained with white snow.
"This is as far as it goes! Destiny!"
Luffy reached out, and lightning flashed!!
...With everyone's concerted efforts, the battleship was finally captured!
"The escape was successful!"
"That's great!"
Buggy and Mr. 2 Bon Clay stood shoulder to shoulder, gesticulating wildly!
Jinbe steered the ship, and Sabo lay on the deck railing.
"Sabo, do we really not need to wait for straw hat boy?" Ivankov's large, kohl-rimmed eyes stared intently at Sabo.
"Hmm, it's fine! He'll come on his own!" Sabo held a can of cola, enjoying the sea breeze.
"By the way, how many supplies are on this battleship? I think before the war starts, we should at least replenish our stamina," Sabo said, his gaze shifting to Jinbe, and he chuckled, "Right, Jinbe!"
"Haha, it's no big deal for this old man; I've only been hungry for a few days. But Crocodile, it seems he hasn't eaten for over a month, has he!" Jinbe scratched his head, concentrating on steering.
At the same time, "Bang bang bang bang!"
Countless cannonballs were fired from the Marine ships, heading towards Sabo and his group. Even though Jinbe skillfully dodged the attacks, the massive Gates of Justice obstructed them like a falling sky!
"What do we do? What do we do?" Buggy stomped his feet anxiously. After finally escaping Impel Down, he didn't want to be captured again!
However, Jinbe remained calm, looking straight ahead!
"Fire the cannons, sink them, all you idiots!"
"The Gates of Justice can only be opened from inside Impel Down. They... are finished!"
However, when a white beam of light appeared on the face of a Marine general, everything changed!
"The Gates of Justice are open!"
"Why? Why are the Gates of Justice open?"
Even if the Marines refused to believe it, that battleship still sailed out of the Gates of Justice, heading towards the ruler of the seas—Marineford!
...At the same time, in the engine room.
"Can the gate really be opened?" A jailer nervously looked at the "Magellan" beside him.
"When have I ever given a wrong order?" "Magellan" retorted.
"No, it's not!"
"Once that battleship leaves, close the Gates of Justice, understand?"
"Alright, alright!" Although it was a bit baffling, subordinates must obey superior orders unconditionally!
Soon, the battleship left the Gates of Justice.
"Mr. 2 Bon Clay, are you in here?" Suddenly, a head wearing a straw hat peeked in.
"straw hat!"
"Magellan" pressed the closing button and kicked the machine, then lunged at Luffy.
"Zzzzt!"
A blue electric arc flashed, and the two vanished from the spot!
After a long while, everyone looked at each other.
"Are we... doomed?"
...At the same time, a somber atmosphere permeated the battleship!
"So it was Mr. 2 Bon Clay... he sacrificed himself to...!"
"Mr. 2 Bon Clay, he's truly great!"
Everyone was moved to tears of gratitude; without Mr. 2 Bon Clay's sacrifice, they would never have escaped Impel Down.
"What are you all doing!"
Just as the Gates of Justice closed, an electric arc flashed, and Luffy landed on the bow of the battleship, while Mr. 2 Bon Clay was vomiting on the deck.
"Little straw hat, I'm never letting you carry me again!"
Sabo: Me too!
"Alright!" Luffy lightly pulled down his straw hat, revealing a smile, "Let's go, head to Marineford!"
...At the same time, in the Freezing Hell!
A hand reached out from the snow.
"A man's dream... will never end!!"
