Impel Down Impel Down's Fifth Level, the Freezing Hell:
This is an extremely cold hell, where scientific technology is used to lower the temperature of this level, turning the entire fifth-level prison into a hell covered in ice and snow, keeping the prisoners perpetually in freezing conditions.
"Damn you, Shiryu of the Rain, how dare you kill us prisoners without authorization!"
"Stop talking nonsense, run quickly! This guy clearly wants to kill us!"
"If we had known, we wouldn't have run out. Otherwise, under the den den mushi's surveillance, he definitely wouldn't dare to kill us!"
"Run separately, otherwise we'll all die. If we split up, at least there's a chance to survive!"
"..."
On this icy, snowy, and white landscape, five or six prisoners in inmate uniforms were running frantically.
Behind them, someone was chasing them. He held the famous sword "Thunderstorm", which had a crimson hilt, a golden guard, and a square blade. It was the new warden of Impel Down Great Prison, Shiryu of the Rain.
"Trash, do you really think you can escape?"
Shiryu of the Rain held "Thunderstorm" and sneered. He immediately sped up, and just as the five prisoners were about to split up and run, Shiryu's figure instantly vanished from the spot.
"How is this possible..."
The next second, the five prisoners' escape speed suddenly slowed down. They desperately clutched their necks with both hands, but this couldn't stop their blood from gushing out. However, the blood was quickly frozen by the cold temperature.
"What a thrill!"
"It's a pity that guy Magellan is so insensible, daring to stop me from killing that trash!"
Shiryu of the Rain gently stroked the blade of his "Thunderstorm" and sighed.
He hadn't wanted to take office here initially, but he couldn't defy the orders from above.
After arriving here, he originally thought that since the prisoners here were all death row inmates anyway, he could kill them as he pleased.
But he was stopped by Magellan. The crucial point was that he couldn't beat Magellan, so he could only secretly kill some insignificant prisoners, which made him extremely disappointed.
After all, his Sword Intent was a killing Sword Intent. Coupled with the influence of his own personality, his famous sword, and his Sword Intent, he was becoming more and more bloodthirsty, and only through continuous slaughter could he become stronger.
It could be said that this great prison was a prison for the inmates, but also a prison for him!
Sixth Level, the Infinite Hell:
Every prisoner held here was without exception an incredibly wicked and powerful Great Pirate.
In the Infinite Hell, there were many prisoners, but those who were truly extremely dangerous were held in solitary confinement.
For example, in the prisoner cage that Shiryu of the Rain had now arrived at, he was tied up and restrained with numerous Sea Stone restraints such as Sea Stone handcuffs, leg irons, and nails. This level of restraint was definitely unique in the entire prison.
This was none other than the Great Pirate John, who many years ago, due to his greed for treasure, went alone from the New World's Calm Belt to the Four Seas to plunder, and was then ambushed and captured by Sengoku and Garp!
"Yohohohoho, Shiryu kid, you're craving it again, aren't you!"
After John saw Shiryu of the Rain, as an old Pirate, he could tell Shiryu of the Rain's current state at a glance.
"You guy, your eyes are as sharp as ever!"
Shiryu of the Rain said, exhaling a puff of white smoke from his cigarette.
"Yohohohoho, Shiryu, you should know your current situation. This isn't just my prison, it's also your prison!"
"If you want to become stronger, you can only do so by getting out of this prison. And hasn't your application to be transferred out of here not been approved for several years now?"
"Those guys clearly don't want you to leave this prison. They are implicitly treating you as a prisoner and still making you help them manage this prison!"
"So, letting me out and cooperating with me to break out is your best choice, because you can't beat Magellan, and you can't escape this prison alone."
John said, trying to persuade him patiently.
Long ago, John accidentally discovered Shiryu of the Rain's condition, but he didn't tell Magellan. Instead, he secretly wanted to change Shiryu of the Rain's mind, as this was currently the only method he had found for escaping.
"After Magellan discovered me killing someone last time, he has become very wary of me. It's impossible for me to get the keys from him. You should stop thinking about it."
Shiryu of the Rain said with an ugly expression.
"Yohohohoho, a familiar aura, what a nostalgic aura!!"
Just as John was about to continue persuading Shiryu, he suddenly looked up and burst into frantic laughter.
The power of his Haoshoku Haki surged out frantically. Both Shiryu of the Rain and the other prisoners in the Infinite Hell were intimidated by John.
"Hahaha, old man, what are you going crazy for? Don't think you're the only one with Haoshoku Haki, I have it too!"
"You guys, disturbing my sleep, believe it or not, I'll knock you out!"
"This is bad! The Great Pirate inside the Infinite Hell is going crazy and unleashing Haoshoku Haki again!"
"Damn Pirates, they've knocked out all our den den mushi again."
"...."
As soon as John's Haoshoku Haki erupted, all the prisoners in the entire Infinite Hell instantly went wild.
The jailers merely reported the situation and didn't say much else, as they had seen this situation countless times before.
"What are you going crazy for!"
Shiryu was startled by this sudden Haoshoku Haki. Even though John's Haoshoku Haki couldn't intimidate him, it was still like being suddenly threatened, making his heart tighten instantly.
"Yohohohoho, Shiryu kid, later, I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise you might not even know how you died!"
John's eyes were flashing with incredibly bright light at this moment. He had been here for so many years, and finally, the opportunity to get out had arrived!
"What the hell are you old man talking about? Explain yourself!"
Shiryu of the Rain was furious at John's inexplicable words. What did he mean he wouldn't even know how he died? He was Shiryu of the Rain, how could he become like an ant that could be easily crushed in the mouth of this old man?
"Buzz!!!!"
However, just as Shiryu of the Rain wanted to press further, a sudden, incredibly strong impact of Haoshoku Haki abruptly swept over.
That violent power, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, instantly rushed into his mind. He was like a insignificant ship in a tsunami of torrential rain, potentially destroyed at any moment by that overwhelming force.
The terrifying power instantly swept through the entire Infinite Hell. Even those who possessed Haoshoku Haki and unleashed their combined Haoshoku Haki were instantly overwhelmed.
Even many prisoners in the Infinite Hell were knocked unconscious by this incredibly overbearing Haoshoku Haki.
Even Shiryu of the Rain gritted his teeth tightly, his body constantly being pressed down, his knees slowly bending.
"How is this possible, I will absolutely not kneel!"
Shiryu of the Rain drew his sword and used it to support his body with both hands on the ground, preventing himself from kneeling.
Not long after, that incredibly powerful Haoshoku Haki disappeared. Fewer than five individuals in the entire Infinite Hell were still conscious.
"Whew, whose Haoshoku Haki is this powerful!"
Shiryu of the Rain breathed heavily, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at John and questioning him.
"Yohohohoho, Shiryu kid, didn't you ask me back then how big the gap was between your sword and that guy's sword?"
"At that time, I said your sword was like an ant on the ground in front of him, but you didn't believe me."
"Now, you haven't even seen his face, yet you almost knelt under his Haoshoku Haki."
"Now, do you believe me?"
John looked at Shiryu with interest and said.
"What? He came? He actually came to Impel Down!"
Hearing John's words, Shiryu of the Rain was instantly shocked.
This is the Impel Down. If that guy came here, he definitely wasn't captured and brought here.
Then the only possibility is that that guy is here to break out prisoners!
The person in the prison who has a connection with that guy right now is John, right before him!
