Chapter 180: Magellan: Your Timing is Really Unfortunate
"Enemy attack!!"
"Quick! Gear up and go provide support!!"
Figures were scattered throughout the dim corridor. A large number of guards in brown uniforms, holding muskets, frantically followed the Blue Gorillas up the stairs.
Underground Level 4. In the dim monitor room, a large number of staff members continuously adjusted the screen displays. A beautiful woman with blonde curly hair, wearing a form-fitting skirt uniform, frowned deeply.
Watching the screens go dark one by one, Chief Guard Domino's expression grew deeper. She could now only rely on communication devices to understand the situation on the front lines.
However, all she heard were screams and bad news.
"The surveillance Den Den Mushi has been shot down! Central control, lower the elevator quick... Bang! Uwaah!"
"Chief Jailer Saldeath is here to support us! Everyone, attack!"
"Boom! Boom! Uwaah!!"
The sounds of explosions and dull impacts continuously came from the communication line, accompanied by waves of mournful cries, showing just how intense the battle was.
Domino's gaze was fixed on the few remaining monitors, her expression growing more and more grave. On the screen—
Straw Hat Luffy raised a giant arm, sending a large number of soldiers flying with one punch.
With a raise of Captain Kid's hand, a large number of swords and guns floated up, then shot towards the soldiers.
Cat Burglar Nami swung out wave after wave of violent lightning that struck down mercilessly.
Besides them, many other figures, usually only seen in the newspapers, appeared one after another on the monitor screens.
Roronoa Zoro, Trafalgar Law, Magician Hawkins...
The group used their various means to tear through the defense line like breaking dry branches. A long-nosed gunman, every time he appeared, would raise his hand and shoot down a surveillance Den Den Mushi.
Urgent shouts came one after another from the communicator in her hand.
"The Blue Gorillas have been defeated! Chief Jailer Saldeath has fallen unconscious!"
"We can't stop them at all!"
"The first floor above sea level is about to fall!!"
Zzzt—Zzzt—Click!
At this point, all video and communication from the first floor above sea level were cut off. The whereabouts of Straw Hat's crew and the other Supernovas were unknown!
"These scums of the sea!!"
Bang!!
Domino stood up and slammed her hand heavily on the table. In her anger, she shouted at a staff member at the side:
"Switch all central screens to Underground Level 1! Patch through to the garrison's communications! Where is Warden Magellan? Is he still having stomach problems?!"
"Yes! Reporting, Chief Guard! The Warden has already set out and is on his way to take the elevator upstairs!"
Several staff members quickly operated the monitors to switch the feeds, while loudly responding.
"Also, the Head Jailer has already led the Jailer Beasts to Underground Level 2 and is preparing to engage the enemy!"
"...That's good."
Hearing that the Warden had set out, Domino finally sighed in relief. Her mind raced as she thought quickly, murmuring to herself:
"Little Sadi and the others probably won't be able to handle those guys, but with the Jailer Beasts, they should be able to stall until the Warden arrives to support them."
Thinking of this, Domino's gaze returned to the screen in front of her.
However, with this one look, she was instantly frozen to the spot!
One by one, the screens rapidly disappeared. The invading enemies were still advancing at an extremely fast pace. Wherever they passed, a large number of guards were sent flying and fell, which was still within her expectations.
After all, the defenses on the first floor were just the Blue Gorillas and some soldiers. They had just rushed to the floor above sea level and were quickly defeated. The current forces were even less able to stop the opponent, but!
On the wall full of screens, a pink, twin-tailed head bizarrely emerged. Several white ghosts passed through the wall one after another!
"Horohorohoro~~, I've found the control room."
Perona covered her mouth and chuckled, her small red umbrella slung over her shoulder as she floated out from the wall.
Looking down at the staff below, a corner of her mouth lifted, and she summoned several giant explosion ghosts.
A few days ago, after learning that Moria had been summoned to Marine Headquarters, she had decided to act together with the Straw Hat crew.
In this Impel Down operation, she had been assigned a very important task: to use her ability to paralyze the control room and also be responsible for scouting ahead of the main group.
Using the characteristics of her ghosts, there was nowhere in the entire prison she couldn't go!
"Quick, shoot!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They actually managed to invade here! Domino, amidst her panic, also reacted. With a command, she also drew her long whip and lashed out fiercely!
"It's useless. Although I can be seen, I'm actually a non-existent ghost. Physical means have no effect on me."
Perona dived down with both hands, letting countless bullets pass through her body. She waved her hand and sent out the surrounding ghosts!
She was a spirit body. Just as others couldn't touch her, she couldn't touch anything either. As for this control room, she just needed to blow it up directly!
"Ghost Snap: Kamikaze Rap!!"
Boom!! Boom!!
At the same time, on the first underground level of the great underwater prison, the Crimson Hell.
In one cell after another, sealed with iron bars, the imprisoned criminals watched the outside in disbelief.
A group of ferocious pirates charged through the corridor, defeating all the jailers with overwhelming strength and heading towards the depths of the prison.
"Hey! Why are they outside!"
"Nonsense! They obviously broke in from the outside."
"Hey! Let us out! Whether you're planning a prison break or something else, we can join you!"
"That's right, that's right! Let me out, and I can help you!"
Reiner's group charged forward on their own, completely ignoring the clamor from both sides of the walkway.
A bunch of trash that could be blown away with a single breath. They weren't even as good as the miscellaneous undead he had. Letting them out would only cause trouble.
After passing through a large number of cells, they soon arrived at a blood-red forest. Everyone stopped.
What entered their eyes was a forest of crystal-red trees. Countless criminals covered in blood were fleeing through it, wailing.
Robin spoke in a low voice, "This is the reason the first level of prison is called the Crimson Hell."
The entire forest was composed of 'blade trees' with leaves as sharp as swords. The red, pointed things covering the ground were the extremely sharp 'needle-needle grass'.
The prisoners were chased by poisonous spiders in the forest, their bodies being cut by the sword-like leaves and grass, their bleeding bodies dyeing the place crimson!
Looking at the ground densely covered with sharp needles ahead, Kid's expression was displeased. "Tch, how troublesome. We can only walk through slowly."
"There's no time to dawdle!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several massive figures landed from thin air. It was Reiner, waving his hand to summon several beasts.
There was a giant dark red octopus, a six-legged, two-tailed, blue-striped saber-toothed tiger, a long-armed giant bear with black and white stripes, a silverback gorilla with muscles like forged steel, and a woolly mammoth...
All were ferocious beasts collected from Golden Lion's island!
"Get on!"
Reiner shouted, gesturing to the others, and was the first to leap onto the mammoth.
Luffy grinned cheekily and shouted, "Reiner! Dinosaur! I want a dinosaur!"
"I know~~"
Reiner helplessly summoned the T-Rex he had collected in Little Garden.
This was Luffy's favorite mount. He had even given it a special nickname.
"Charge, Big Mouth!!"
Luffy sat on the dinosaur's head, raised his hands, clenched his fists, and shouted excitedly, then took the lead and charged out!
The others, who didn't know about Reiner's ability, were shocked by the sudden appearance of the giant beasts.
"What the hell is this?!"
"Your ability?!"
"Never mind that! Listen to Black Snake-ya and get on!"
"With these things, it'll be much more convenient!"
Soon, the members each jumped onto a fierce beast.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then, several behemoths began to charge recklessly through this Crimson Hell.
The towering blade trees were directly knocked down, and the needle grass on the ground was directly crushed. A large number of hard, sharp red fragments flew out. The so-called Crimson Hell was completely disregarded by the undead giant beasts.
The tormented prisoners, seeing this scene, immediately rushed towards them frantically, trying to grasp this unexpected lifeline.
"Hey! Get me down!"
"Save me! I'm begging you!"
"Uwaah!"
"No!"
However, what they were met with was only the ruthless trampling and collision of these fierce beasts.
A corner of Kid's mouth lifted playfully. "You're really heartless."
"People who have killed civilians are barking at me about this?" Reiner glanced at him with disdain.
Advancing as if through an unguarded territory, they soon arrived at the entrance to the second underground level.
It was a round hole as dark and boundless as an abyss. Prisoners who could no longer endure the torment of the Crimson Hell would sometimes choose to jump down from here.
Those who didn't fall to their death could choose to suffer a different kind of torment: becoming food for the beasts.
The beasts carrying Reiner and the others stood at the edge of the hole. He waved his hand to recall the undead and leaped down. "Let's go! To the next level, the Wild Beast Hell!"
With their mounts suddenly disappearing, the group, whose feet were now on empty air, was instantly startled, tumbling down into the dark abyss!
"Ahhhh!!!"
"Couldn't you have given us a heads-up, you bastard!!"
"I'll definitely cut you down first later!!"
"We're going to fall to our deaths!!"
Endless screams echoed through the sky.
And at this time, the elevator of the great underwater prison had reached the partition between the second and first floors.
Bang! Bang!
With a violent jolt, the elevator suddenly stopped.
A tall man with a rectangular build, wearing a black and purple long leather uniform and with two horns on his head, reached out to steady himself against the wall.
Magellan's expression was solemn as he spoke in a low voice, "What's the situation? Contact the power room."
As he spoke, a puff of purple smoke drifted out.
"Yes, sir!"
Beside him, a subordinate wearing a gas mask shouted in acknowledgment and immediately dialed the central control room's communication number. However, after a long wait, there was no response.
Buru-buru-buru~~
Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi in Magellan's pocket rang. After he took it out and answered, the Den Den Mushi immediately mimicked the person on the other end and shouted:
"Moshi moshi! This is the Warden—no, I mean, Vice-Warden Hannyabal! My ambition slipped out again..."
Magellan ignored the other's self-directed drama. He was in an extremely bad mood right now; Impel Down had actually been invaded.
And for this to happen on the very day that that person came to visit a prisoner... If he didn't teach those intruders a harsh lesson, he would lose all face with the Marines!
Before long, the other person on the Den Den Mushi finally stopped his self-entertainment, his expression turning panicked as he shouted urgently:
"This is bad, Warden! The central control room has been invaded! All the equipment has been destroyed! We've currently lost all surveillance capabilities!"
"I'm stuck between the first and second floors. Little Sadi is on the second floor. You go and provide support first. I'll go down from the first floor later and we'll pincer them."
Magellan thought for a moment and then added, "If you can't defeat them, you can retreat. With that person down there, those rats won't be able to cause much of a stir."
"Understood! I'm counting on you, the Warden who is about to be replaced by me!"
Click!
As soon as the other finished speaking, Magellan hung up the Den Den Mushi with a grim face and slightly raised his head.
Bang!!
The top of the elevator was violently smashed open by a massive fist. A ferocious purple dragon flew out from it, traveling up the elevator shaft.
"Poison Passageway!"
Magellan's tall body shot straight up along the poison dragon. "To invade Impel Down on this particular day... your timing is really unfortunate."
