[Ding, trigger selection!]
[Choice 1: Agree to Fire Fist Ace's request and try to save Ace. Reward: Skill: Poison Immunity (Your life is not threatened by any poison!)]
[Choice 2: Refuse Fire Fist Ace's request and flee the scene. Reward: Skill: Fire Immunity (Life is not harmed by any flames!)]
This reward was incredible!
Victor was already somewhat moved by the brotherhood between Ace and Luffy, and now the system offered such a reward: Poison Immunity!
Poison Man Magellan, huh? Interesting.
"Don't worry, Ace, this Impel Down City can't hold Luffy and me!"
"Thanks!"
Fire Fist Ace nodded sincerely. He didn't know how strong Victor was, but the fact that he had made it here proved that this man was formidable.
"This is the most ridiculous joke I've ever heard, Victor. You and Straw Hat Luffy will never escape Impel Down, and you, Fire Fist Ace, will be executed on the rack in Marineford! That is the fate of you criminals!"
Magellan's terrifying face radiated anger. He was furious about the chaos in Impel Down. As Hannyabal's superior and the director, all this was his responsibility.
"Poisonous Dragon!"
Three massive dragons made entirely of deadly poison emerged from Magellan's body. As a user of the Poison-Poison Fruit, Magellan had absolute confidence in his own venom.
No one could resist it.
Pointing gun!
Lanjiao!
Victor launched several attacks at Magellan, but each was swallowed by the poisonous dragons.
"Victor, your path ends here. My poisonous dragons will finish you!"
Magellan's judgment was decisive. This man, who had caused chaos in Impel down, would surely be executed by poison!
Victor's "panic" was carefully feigned. What he wanted was Magellan's contempt—even for just a moment.
When the dragons covered Victor, the panic on his face vanished, replaced by a smile.
Shave!
Magellan's eyes widened. Victor had passed straight through the poisonous dragons, letting the venom splash over his skin!
Was this man not afraid of being corroded to death?
Victor grimaced in pain. Magellan's poison was deadly, and even if it wasn't fatal, it still hurt.
Damn it, when will I get a free pass?
Victor didn't pause. Using blinding speed, he flashed in front of Magellan.
Buzz!
A domineering aura erupted in front of Magellan. Even the strongest man in the prison could be momentarily distracted!
That brief distraction was all Victor needed to rush toward Fire Fist Ace.
Although the system had only asked him to try rescuing Ace, Victor would give it everything he had.
Ace had already been escorted far away, but Victor used his razor-sharp speed to catch up.
"Mr. Victor!!"
Ace shouted excitedly. Victor's strength and combat awareness astonished him. He could even move freely through Magellan's poisonous dragons!
Boom!
Just as Victor neared Ace, a burly figure suddenly blocked his path.
Shave!
Victor could only face the enemy head-on.
The man in front of him wore a Vice Admiral uniform, held a long sword, and had a cigar in his mouth. His aura was overwhelming.
"Take Fire Fist Ace away immediately!"
"Yes, Vice Admiral Ghost Spider!"
Ghost Spider appeared just in time, and Ace was quickly escorted away by the Navy.
Victor's face turned cold. The chance to rescue Ace was gone.
Ghost Spider was strong, impossible to defeat quickly—especially with Magellan in the back ready to intervene.
"Hey, Magellan, you almost made a huge mistake. If Fire Fist Ace had been rescued, neither of us would bear responsibility!"
Ghost Spider scolded Magellan, secretly nervous. One moment later, Victor might really have saved Ace.
Without the restraint of Seastone, Ace, Victor, Luffy, and the escaped criminals… the consequences could be catastrophic.
"I understand. Thank you, Vice Admiral Ghost Spider. Leave the rest to me."
Magellan's voice was low. Victor had almost forced him to shoulder a stain greater than the Impel Down riot itself.
Magellan was furious. Victor, that bastard, had nearly made him a historical sinner!
Ghost Spider left, but Magellan remained, facing Victor.
The system had not triggered any choices, so Victor didn't need to continue fighting Magellan. Even with poison immunity, it would still be painful.
The next plan: meet up with Luffy and head for Marineford.
"Victor! Are you ready to be executed?"
Magellan's poisonous dragons writhed behind him. It amazed him that Victor could move freely despite being covered in venom.
"Bah, executed? Magellan, your poison is too weak. You're trying to corrode me, but you can't kill me. Believe it or not!?"
Victor deliberately provoked the director.
"Ah! Go to hell, Victor!"
Magellan erupted in fury, releasing all three poisonous dragons at once.
But Victor, entangled and covered in venom, once again broke free and disappeared after several flashes.
Magellan's face turned black as charcoal.
This man… even with iron skin and bone, should have been corroded by the poison! How could he still be alive?!
Bru bru bru!
Bru bru bru!
Magellan's Den Den Mushi rang violently.
Then he received news that made his scalp tingle: Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, had rebelled, and the Blackbeard Pirates had broken into Impel Down!
Impel Down… what is happening?
Terrified, Magellan immediately issued several orders.
One was to release the Impel Down Warden, a man skilled in swordsmanship and imprisoned on the sixth floor… Rain Shiryu!
