Using Nami's special space, Ryuen and the other two had already left Impel Down.
"Ryuen, shouldn't we help them out a little?" Nami asked softly after stepping out of the space, standing at the highest point of Impel Down.
"They don't need our help. Their target is Ace, and now that Ace has been moved out of Impel Down, this place isn't dangerous for them anymore," Ryuen said casually.
"Why not?" Sugar was confused.
Ryuen rolled his eyes at her and told Nami, "You explain it to her."
Sugar immediately pouted.
Did that make her sound dumb?
"I get it now. Since Ace isn't here anymore, the Marines' attention will shift. Their priority now is making sure the public execution goes as planned.
So even if something happens at Impel Down, the Marines won't send reinforcements right away.
And among Luffy's group, there are two Warlords of the Sea, three Revolutionary Army commanders, and even Dark King Rayleigh. Magellan alone won't be able to stop them," Nami explained to Sugar, her eyes lighting up.
"Ohhh, so that's how it is..." Sugar finally understood.
"Alright, it's time for us to head to Marineford and enjoy the show," Ryuen said, then immediately transformed into his full beast form.
Nami and Daisy jumped onto Ryuen's back, and he shot up into the sky, flying toward Marineford at full speed.
~~~~~~
"Chief Warden!"
"Bad news! We've identified them—one of them is Ivankov, the King of the Okama, and the other is Dark King Rayleigh!" A guard hurried over to report to Magellan.
"That means we must stop them at all costs..."
"Chief, we can't stop them! They've already boarded a ship, and they took a huge number of prisoners with them!" the guard reported anxiously.
"What?!"
"How did they move so fast?" Magellan gasped in shock. He had only just reached Level 2!
"Because Rayleigh is with them! We couldn't stop them at all. And they also took some prisoners from Levels 1 to 3!" The guard looked discouraged.
"Argh!"
"This is a disaster!" Magellan was furious.
"Chief, the Deputy Chief, Vice Warden, and Head Jailer are all still unconscious. What do we do now?" The guard was completely at a loss.
"What about the other side? What's the situation there?" Magellan forced himself to calm down.
"Chief Jailer Shiryuu... he… he's already gone to your office and taken the fake antidotes..." The guard reported nervously.
"So he really predicted it... Fine! We're heading to Level 4 to deal with Shiryuu and the Blackbeard Pirates first!" Magellan made his decision immediately.
Now that the Straw Hats had boarded their ship, his Devil Fruit powers were no longer an advantage.
Not to mention, with Rayleigh involved, he had no chance of winning outside the prison. If it were inside, he might have had a small shot—but now, there was nothing he could do.
"Yes!"
"Director!" The guard responded seriously.
The two continued running towards LEVEL 4, where Magellan was planning to settle things with Shiryuu and the Blackbeard Pirates.
~~~~~~
LEVEL 4.
Shiryuu had originally planned to take this opportunity to escape, but he ran into the Blackbeard Pirates, who had been poisoned by Magellan, at the passage from LEVEL 4 to LEVEL 3.
He felt... it should be the Blackbeard Pirates.
After all, he could still recognize Van Augur and Lafitte.
But...
Who were those three ugly women?
Wanting to clear his doubts, Shiryuu gave the antidote to the five of them.
Before long, the five of them woke up.
"V hahahaha..."
"Hey..."
"Hey??????"
"Captain, why have you turned into a woman?" Burgess stared in horror at Blackbeard (now a woman), not even realizing that he had turned into a woman as well.
"How... how did this happen..." Lafitte couldn't believe it.
Van Augur was also stunned.
Doc Q looked like he was questioning his life.
Blackbeard was silent.
"Are you... really the Blackbeard Pirates?" Shiryuu had confirmed it, but he still found it hard to believe.
Three men, turned into women?
But Shiryuu's question went unanswered by the Blackbeard Pirates. One reason was that they hadn't snapped out of it yet, and the other was that this situation was simply too embarrassing!
Seeing that these people seemed to be useless, Shiryuu didn't ask any more questions. It was more important to escape before Magellan noticed.
"Shiryuu, I didn't expect you to really betray the World Government!" As Shiryuu raised his foot to step forward, Magellan's voice echoed, and he had already gotten into an attacking stance.
Six poison dragons were ready to strike at any moment!
"Hey!"
"Magellan, you bastard, what did you do to us?" Blackbeard roared.
He now felt completely weak.
How could they fight now?
"The fact that you turned into women has nothing to do with me, but it doesn't matter anymore, because you'll never leave this prison!" Magellan's tone was very firm.
Suddenly, a loud, sharp sound of metal scraping against metal echoed.
It was Shiryuu, who had drawn his sword.
Magellan's attention shifted back to Shiryuu. He had still held out some hope for Shiryuu, but that hope was now shattered.
"Since you've chosen to fight, Shiryuu, then you and them will stay in this prison for the rest of your lives!" Magellan said in a deep voice.
"Hehehe~~~"
"Magellan, it's still too early to say that. Who wins and who loses is not decided yet..." Shiryuu gripped his sword tightly, raising his fighting spirit to its peak.
He had to be in the best possible condition to face this.
The five members of the Blackbeard Pirates also glared at Magellan, ready to make their move.
"Wh... what's going on?"
"My stomach... it hurts so much..."
"Is it a side effect?"
"Magellan, what have you done to us!"
The members of the Blackbeard Pirates clutched their stomachs, sweat pouring down their faces, glaring angrily at Magellan.
Even Shiryuu was surprised.
"Because the medicine Shiryuu gave you was a special laxative I prepared, and it's the strongest one!" Magellan said calmly.
As soon as Magellan finished speaking, Shiryuu's stomach began to hurt as well.
"What!!"
"Bastard!"
"Poof... poof... poof..."
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
"It exploded!"
"Magellan! You have no martial virtue! You won through unfair means!"
"This is the most terrifying prison in the world, and I, Magellan, am the warden here. You want to talk to me about martial virtue?"
The guard who came with Magellan had already moved far away from the group.
He thought, the warden is amazing!
He can stay so calm in the face of this, truly impressive!
Magellan: Nothing special, just familiarity!
