Impel Down Level 6: Infinite Hell
The dark and silent prison cells were devoid of sound.
Since the Marine took Ace and Luffy away, a strange silence had settled here.
"The time has come."
The Golden Lion slowly opened his eyes.
A strange look appeared in his eyes, and his smile was incredibly secretive.
"Are you finally going to make your move? I'm tired of waiting."
Red Count (Barlorick), in the cell next to the Golden Lion, also opened his eyes at the same time, speaking with anticipation but impatience.
"...Heh, when did you figure it out?"
'Golden Lion'-no, it should be the 9th Prayer, looked at the impatient Red Count, tilting his head and smiling strangely.
"From the first day you came in." Red Count said lazily.
"Shiki, that old bastard, always called me Rayder, or called me 'curly eyebrow', pretending. The first day you came in, you called me Barlorick. I realized something was wrong with you then, but then he returned to normal."
"And then, you used your Observation Haki to read what happened to me-it makes sense."
'Golden Lion' (Prayer No. 9) nodded knowingly.
Before the Golden Lion was imprisoned, Shin planted a mental seed in his head.
Without affecting his soul and will, he turned him into his Ninth Prayer.
This was an essential part of the deal.
Shin did not trust the Golden Lion.
Mainly, he didn't trust his brain.
And for the Golden Lion, it seemed he had no other choice.
Red Count's Observation Haki was special.
As a top-tier Observation Haki user, Katakuri's ability allowed him to predict the future for eight seconds, while Red Count's Observation Haki allowed him to naturally read minds and memories.
"So, you are the little guy who sent Shiki in here?" Red Count asked with interest.
"Of course, but before sending Mr. Shiki to Impel Down, we reached a win-win deal."
The Golden Lion's arm displayed the armguard of the Regression Core Light, aimed at the Seastone chain behind him.
The two emitted light blades slowly melted the chain, subsequently melting the two Seastone handcuffs and the Seastone shackles around his neck.
This went unexpectedly smoothly.
He thought he would need more methods.
The broken Seastone shackles clanged on the floor.
The Golden Lion rubbed his neck.
As soon as he was free from the restraint, he impatiently kicked Shin offline.
A menacing smile appeared on his face.
"I am resurrected!"
In front of his palms were his two beloved swords, the Ota and the Kogarashi, the beloved swords stored in Shin's hand, now back in his possession.
Using the two beloved swords as his legs again, the Golden Lion neatly cut open the cell door and laughed loudly.
"Hahahahaha, I am out again! How can this broken prison hold me?"
The entire Level 6 prison instantly boiled.
Although they didn't understand the meaning of his conversation with Red Count earlier, there was no doubt that this man had escaped from the prison again!
"Hey! Golden Lion, quickly let us out! Let's escape together!"
"Let me out, I'll be your subordinate and take revenge on the World Government together!!!"
The prisoners in the cells frantically marketed themselves to the Golden Lion who was leaving the prison, like prostitutes selling themselves.
As long as they could leave here, they were willing to pay anything!
"Quiet, idiots!!!"
"The weak ones, shut up!"
Two imposing voices swept through Level 6.
Douglas Bullet, who had stopped his training and slowly stood up, and Red Count, with a cheerful smile, suppressed all the prisoners in Level 6 with their powerful Haki.
"Don't worry, scum." The Golden Lion grinned menacingly.
"Right now, at the Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, there's a huge festival! That guy, Newgate, and the brat Shanks, are fighting the Marine!"
"If we are late, we won't have a seat. But don't rush, scum! We still have to wait for the people outside to open the door for us!"
Breaking out of Impel Down was not that simple.
It wasn't a matter of strength.
Impel Down was located deep underwater in the Calm Belt.
Outside were the surging deep sea and a large number of Sea King nests.
For the Golden Lion and his group, fighting through Impel Down's jailers was easy.
Even Magellan wouldn't last two rounds in front of them.
But fighting through and leaving were two completely different matters.
Magellan's Devil Fruit ability was disgusting.
In the prison environment, he could easily achieve mutual destruction.
Moreover, if the situation became too severe, and that guy decided to die together, he might open all the passages leading outside Impel Down, using the massive influx of seawater to kill both Impel Down and the escaping prisoners inside.
There was no Luffy and his 'protagonist aura' this time.
Who knows what irreversible situation would happen.
"But before that, we need to confirm one thing."
The Golden Lion slowly raised his palm.
The power of his Devil Fruit easily twisted the sturdy prison bars.
The twin swords under his feet moved quickly, easily cutting the Seastone handcuffs of the two most vicious prisoners in Level 6.
"Although the people imprisoned here are the most vicious criminals recognized by the World Government-we believe there is still too much trash mixed in."
The Golden Lion grinned menacingly, slowly clenching his palm.
"The rules are simple. You do it yourselves. Those who survive are qualified to leave here. Those who die will stay here forever!"
After a brief silence, Level 6 descended into chaos...
