"Hannibal, you must stop Victor and Straw Hat Luffy's crew! Wait for me to get there and execute all these criminals!"
The angry voice of Impel Down City Director Magellan came through the Den Den Mushi.
"I don't know if I can take the position of Director. Ah! Sorry, I said the wrong thing. My ambition has been exposed again. Don't worry, Director Magellan, I will definitely do my best!"
Hannibal, in charge on the spot, hung up the Den Den Mushi, gripped his large knife, and his eyes gradually hardened, losing their previous frivolous glint.
Is the enemy scary?
Horrible!
Is he afraid?
Fear!
Hannibal had wanted to escape and blame Director Magellan if things went wrong.
But if he did that, how much harm would these vicious criminals cause the weak and innocent if they escaped?
Besides, Director Magellan was fighting for the reputation of Impel Down. As the deputy director and someone who had been taken care of by Magellan for years, Hannibal could no longer retreat.
"Victor, Straw Hat Luffy, and all you criminals! I, Hannibal, Deputy Director of Impel Down, will stop you from escaping! Be prepared!"
Hannibal shouted to give himself courage, then ordered his men to stop Victor and the others with all their strength.
"Sand Explosion!"
A sandstorm blew back the prison guards, but Crocodile's brows were tightly furrowed.
As soon as a gap opened, countless guards rushed in.
"Tsk! Why is Hannibal suddenly so serious?!"
Crocodile, cigar in mouth, complained, but then joined the battle again.
He had the same determination as Hannibal, but his goal was to escape this hated prison!
"Gum-Gum Machine Gun! Hehe, everyone, charge! To Marineford!"
Luffy knocked down a team of guards and let out his signature hearty laugh. His inspiring shout gave many fugitives confidence!
After all, the one leading them was the Supernova with a 300 million bounty—Straw Hat Luffy, who had shocked the world!
Former Seven Warlords of the Sea included:
Crocodile, the King of the Desert
Jinbe, the Sea Knight
And the Shemale King, Ivankov.
As for Victor, most people barely noticed him.
Apart from a few like Luffy, Jinbe, Buggy, and Crocodile who recognized Victor's power, most considered him just another unknown man with average strength.
Even when Hannibal threatened them, he listed Victor's name first, which stirred dissatisfaction among some vicious criminals.
Why? You're just a nobody compared to the big names. Why rank ahead of pirates like Straw Hat Luffy?
Especially since Victor was respected by Luffy and the others, these criminals were jealous to the point of madness.
They had never heard of the military exploits of Victor.
Victor noticed their jealous gazes with Observation Haki but didn't care. With his current strength, he could kill a bunch of them with a single slap.
"Ah! Victor, I'm going to torture you and enjoy every scream!"
An angry, charming female voice rang out. Three jailer beasts descended on the battlefield, threatening the jailbreak group.
The deputy warden of the city, Little Sadie, broke free from her bonds and joined the fight.
"Oh, you came down so quickly! I thought you liked being tied up in that position!"
Victor noticed Little Sadie's figure and subconsciously glanced at her.
Tsk tsk… it's almost like his wife, Hancock!
"Ah~ Victor, I'll make your screams echo throughout Impel Down prison!"
Sadie twisted her body. The shyness from being tied up surged within her, making her furious.
"Koala Attack!"
At her command, the three jailer beasts attacked the escapees fiercely.
As animal-type Devil Fruit users with immense strength and strong regeneration, the jailer beasts overpowered ordinary fugitives. Many pirates were soon knocked down.
Among them, some were unhappy with Victor.
"It's all because of that guy, Victor, who lured Sadie here. Our chances of escaping are smaller!"
Voices like these echoed among the fugitives.
"Hehe! Victor Boy, you did a great job!"
Curious Ivankov learned from Victor why Sadie was so angry.
It was… bondage. Ivankov said, "Great!"
"Gear 3, Gum Giant Pistol!!"
"Fishman Karate: Five Thousand Tiles Punch!!"
"Sandstorm!!"
Because the jailer beasts were unstoppable, Luffy, Jinbe, and Crocodile attacked at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three led by Luffy defeated the three jailer beasts in one round.
The crowd cheered loudly!
Victor was truly impressive.
People's jealousy is dangerous. Some fugitives didn't dare feel envy toward Luffy or other famous pirates, but Victor, who was valued by Hannibal, triggered their jealousy.
They had never seen his strength and thought this man, praised by many bigwigs, was insignificant.
If not for escaping from prison, these pirates might have challenged Victor directly.
"Ambrio Female Hormone!"
"Ah! Although the demon king's screams should be beautiful, now I just want to hear Victor scream!"
Sadie brandished a long whip against Ivankov but kept talking about Victor.
"Hee ha! I'll also tie you up like Victor Boy does. So fun, hee ha!"
Ivankov, stronger than Sadie, had the upper hand from the start.
The two fought to a deserted area, where Little Sadie was finally subdued by Ivankov.
She was tied up again, in the same position…
"Ah! Victor, I hate you so much!"
Sadie blamed Victor. In her opinion, he must have instructed Ivankov to tie her in such an embarrassing way.
With Sadie defeated, remaining guards could no longer stop the escapees.
Hannibal had to take the field himself.
"Scorching Hell Car!"
"Gear 2, Gum-Gum Jet Machine Gun!"
Bang!
Hannibal was knocked down by Luffy in a single move. Although deputy director of Impel Down, his combat skills weren't strong.
He once believed having Magellan and Shiryu in Impel Down was sufficient.
But now, he was indispensable.
Even relying on willpower, he could lose his life!
Hannibal could not fall.
Wounded but determined, Deputy Director Hannibal stood up.
