----------
The day before the execution, an unnoticed prison break quietly began and gradually grew in the undersea great prison.
"Help me, ahhhhhhh!!!" Buggy was chased by the guard, desperately fleeing. He couldn't even defeat one of these powerful creatures. Unbeknownst to him, he escaped to the center of the first prison, Crimson Lotus Forest. Both trees and weeds were as sharp as blades. Prisoners were banished here for punishment, cut to the point of wishing for death. But as a Split-Split Fruit user, he wasn't afraid of being cut.
"Gahahaha, stupid guard, this is my escape route!" Buggy jumped into the Crimson Lotus Forest, turned to look at the guard that had stopped chasing him, and couldn't help but laugh proudly with his hands on his hips. But the problem wasn't solved. Impel Down only had one exit; to escape, he had to go through the front gate.
Once the other guards of the great prison caught up, he would still have nowhere to run. Unbeknownst to him, Buggy arrived at the center of the forest, where a huge pit led directly to the second level, Beast Hell. Looking at the pit, Buggy fell into deep thought.
Level 5.5, Newkama Land
"Whitebeard Pirates VS Marineford!" Ivankov, holding a newspaper stolen from a guard, quickly made up his mind and excitedly hip-hopped. "Prepare our gear, the time for us to leave here has come!"
"Eh? So sudden!" The Newkamas were a bit bewildered.
"Opportunities are always sudden, hip-hop!" Ivankov excitedly raised his arms. Although he was in prison, he was well aware of the outside situation. Now that Whitebeard was at war with Marineford, the Warden Shiryu had also been imprisoned in the sixth level.
It could be said that this was the great prison's weakest defensive point!
Additionally, due to the rampant expansion of the Beast Pirates, the world's situation was undergoing drastic changes, even affecting the Revolutionary Army, with all North Blue frontlines falling. The Revolutionary Army needed their strength! This was the perfect time for a prison break!
Subordinates responsible for surveillance ran over: "Ivankov, a disturbance has occurred on the first level; it seems a pirate is attempting a prison break!"
"Prison break?!" Ivankov's eyes lit up. For a prisoner to break out at such a crucial moment, it seemed even heaven was on their side!
"Find a way to help him!"
"Yes!" Secretly helping the escapees and causing as much commotion as possible would draw fire away from their own escape operation.
On the other side, Marineford
A Marine ship silently left Marineford without permission, sailing towards Impel Down, and the Marines only learned of it several hours later. There was also bad news. The Warlord "Blackbeard" had disappeared!
Time passed, and soon it was the next day. Only five hours remained until the execution. The fleet escorting "Fire Fist" Ace successfully arrived at Marineford, but the news from the undersea great prison shook Marineford.
"Prisoner riot!" Besides the main culprit, Buggy the Clown, a special individual played a crucial role. All cells and chains were useless before him, making an outstanding contribution to the escape operation! Former member of Baroque Works, Mr. 3, Galdino!
"Bang!" Table HP -1. Sengoku held his forehead, his face ashen. "At a time like this!"
Although Magellan sent word that he could suppress the riot, assuring Marineford there was no need to worry, anything happening at this moment could potentially lead to the situation spiraling out of control. Coupled with Blackbeard's disappearance and the suddenly departing Marine ship, an ominous feeling arose in Sengoku's heart. However, he currently had no mind to care about other matters, nor did the Marines have excess troops to support Impel Down. The war was about to begin!
Sabaody Archipelago, broadcast screen
"Look, the Marine Admiral is making an appearance!"
"And numerous Vice Admirals!"
"All are renowned officers!"
On the screen, the Marines had already set up their formation in the Marineford plaza. A full 100,000 elite officers! Even through the large screen, a chilling aura swept over them. Numerous reporters and residents crowded in front of the large screen, trembling with tension. This war would influence the world's direction.
Port, many ships set sail! Besides the fleet led by Daichi, the Supernovas who had not yet left also rushed to Marineford. Even knowing the extreme danger, the Supernovas didn't hesitate; if they missed this unprecedented war, they would surely regret it.
Hoenn Government Fleet
The Beast Pirates' flag was lowered, and all ships raised the Hoenn Government flag, along with the Groudon Company's insignia.
Flagship, Groudon! Daichi stood at the bow, gazing towards Marineford.
"Kaido and Red-Hair Shanks are fighting?"
"Yes, just yesterday." Speed replied angrily. Just yesterday, the Beast Pirates' fleet led by Kaido was intercepted by Red-Hair Shanks, and a great battle erupted between them, which hadn't stopped yet.
"I see." Daichi nodded slightly. If the Beasts were to fully participate in the war, the World Government would also have to step in; otherwise, Marineford itself would sink into the sea, and few beyond the top powerhouses would survive.
The Beasts would also suffer a devastating blow. Just as the World Government couldn't conquer Wano Country, this was Marineford, right under the Holy Land's nose. The difficulty of offense and defense was completely different.
Moreover, whether in terms of troop strength or top-tier combatants, the Beasts had no advantage. The best outcome would be mutual destruction. Even if Red-Hair Shanks didn't stop him, he would have to stop Kaido from going berserk. Kaido was good in other aspects, but he just loved war too much.
"The war is about to begin. Are you all ready?"
"Please rest assured, Chairman!"
At this moment, Impel Down
Level One! Buggy took the lead, followed by an countless army of prisoners, along with powerhouses like Ivankov, Crocodile, and Jinbe.
"Gyahahaha, my little ones, charge out with me!"
"Ohhh, Captain Buggy!!!" The prison gate was pushed open by the prisoners! Buggy spread his arms, and the light of freedom illuminated his body! This scene, in the eyes of the prisoners, was like a deity.
"Captain Buggy!"
"My eyes! My eyes!"
"Ohhh, it's too dazzling!"
The prisoners were in tears, incredibly devout. Captain Buggy was their savior!
"Gyahahaha~~~" Buggy laughed wildly internally. Although he didn't know why, the prison break process, which started a bit bumpy, became smoother and smoother towards the end. He fought his way from the first level to the sixth, and then back from the sixth.
During this time, the escape team grew larger and larger, and the prisoners even regarded him as their savior. Mid-escape, they also encountered the most troublesome enemy, Magellan, but thanks to Mr. 3's excellent performance, they escaped without much danger. Later, Magellan disappeared somewhere. In short, Captain Buggy's great escape adventure was a success!
"Eh? No ship!" Buggy opened his eyes. Outside the prison, there wasn't a single Marine ship. In the distant fog, the faint outline of Marine ships could be seen. Buggy was dumbfounded. What to do now!
At the critical moment, Jinbe stepped forward. "Leave this to me!"
Soon, with the combined efforts of Buggy, Jinbe, and Crocodile, the operation to seize a Marine ship was successful. The escaped army successfully left Impel Down!
Not long after, a call came from Marineford. Some fool answered the phone.
"Prisoners, we are aware of your escape from Impel Down. There are two main culprits in this escape incident! Pirate Buggy the Clown and Mr. 3!"
"What?!" The prisoners were greatly surprised. Captain Buggy and Mr. 3's prestige had actually surpassed that of the two former Warlords!
Buggy and Mr. 3 exchanged glances. As the Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix of this escape incident, they could both see the shock in each other's eyes.
"Buggy the Clown, we originally thought you were just an unknown pirate... When titles like Pirate King's crewmate and Shanks' sworn brother appeared, Buggy's status in the prisoners' hearts soared infinitely.
"And Mr. 3."
"We already know that you defeated the two leaders of the former Giant Warrior Pirates, Dorry the Blue Ogre and Brogy the Red Ogre, and that you deliberately infiltrated the great prison!"
"This escape incident is a long-planned scheme by you and Buggy; the specific purpose is currently unknown!"
"But no matter what your conspiracy is, you have nowhere to escape; the Gates of Justice will never open for you!"
"Click!" The Den Den Mushi hung up.
The Pirates stared at Buggy and Mr. 3, swallowing hard.
"The Pirate King's crewmate!"
"Red-Hair Shanks' sworn brother!"
"Defeated the Blue Ogre and Red Ogre, who had bounties of 1.8 billion!"
The two giant leaders reappeared, their bounties were reset, both having the same bounty of 1.8 billion Berries! No wonder they could easily block Magellan!
The prisoners excitedly raised their weapons!
"Buggy! Buggy! Buggy!"
"Brother 3! Brother 3! Brother 3!"
Their shouts echoed through the sky. The prisoners' eyes were fanatical. To escape with such important figures, they felt it was worth dying for!
"Gyahahaha! My little ones!" After some intense thought, Buggy smiled wickedly and hooked his arm around Mr. 3's shoulder! "As men, let's pursue our dreams together! Today, we will take Whitebeard's head and seize the entire world!"
"Waoooooooh!!!"
