"Come on, let's drink first, Ibaraki, let me test your drinking capacity."
The red-haired man was very enthusiastic, throwing a bottle of sake over with a flick of his hand.
Vladimir clicked his tongue, opening the bottle cap with a bang.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
A group of pirates raised their glasses and drank heartily, as if holding a banquet.
...
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Vladimir put on a cloak and followed the Red Hair Pirates as they left for the docking point.
Along the way, everyone who saw them fearfully hid far away, especially the pirates, who didn't dare to approach within a hundred meters.
The name of a Yonko was enough to shake the world!
Even Akainu seemed not to see them, allowing Red Hair to leave as he pleased.
Watching the group board the ship from afar, Akainu listened to his subordinate's report, his face ashen.
A Marine admiral, yet unable to do anything, was truly frustrating.
A middle-aged man with the rank of Rear Admiral whispered: "Admiral Akainu, there's nothing we can do. In this era, the villains are powerful. Any one of the Yonko pirate crews has the power to confront our Marine Headquarters head-on. Without complete preparation, it's not appropriate to clash with them..."
"Hmph!"
Akainu snorted coldly, narrowing his eyes as he watched the Red Hair Pirates' ship sail away. "We are justice! Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!"
Pirates, all of them deserve to die!
Akainu didn't say this last sentence aloud. This incident had made him realize his own lack of strength.
"Go! Continue the search!".
...
Akainu continued to linger on the Sabaody Archipelago, attempting to capture Vladimir Gate, who had injured him.
However, Vladimir Gate had already boarded Red Hair's ship, heading for Fish-Man Island, destined to make the Marines' efforts a futile endeavor.
Fish-Man Island is located directly below the Holy Land Mariejois, 10,000 meters deep in the ocean.
Standing on the deck of the ship, Vladimir watched the Sabaody Archipelago gradually shrink in size, feeling like he had forgotten something.
"What's wrong, Ibaraki?" At this time, Red Hair walked over, smiling. "Worried about safety? Don't worry, although the accident rate for sailing in the deep sea is as high as 70%, that's for ships heading to Fish-Man Island for the first time. We're all veterans, nothing will happen."
"No... I remember now," Vladimir he touched his chin, finally recalling. "I have a subordinate who was captured by the Marines."
"Hmm?"
Vladimir said helplessly: "Six days ago, because of a certain incident, I was found by Akainu of the Marines and had a fight with him. Although I ran away afterward, a subordinate who was with me was captured."
"Oh?" Red Hair raised an eyebrow. "That's not good. It's been six days. That person should have already been locked up in the Great Underwater Prison."
The Great Underwater Prison, known as the world's strongest prison that no one can break, is one of the Navy's three major institutions.
These three institutions are the Marine Headquarters "Marineford", the Great Underwater Prison "Impel Down", and the Judicial Island "Enies Lobby".
"It's not like I can't save him." Vladimir elusive, wondering if it was necessary.
The bald captain of the War Axe Pirates, as a subordinate, was just so-so, his level was too weak, but after all, he was captured because of him. It didn't seem right to leave him alone.
"I'll go check out the situation sometime. My Forced Transformation period has a few hours left. Once noon passes, I can cancel it."
The Shadow Fiend can instantly travel through, no matter where the bald man is, Vladimir can find him, so whether to save him or not really depended on his whim.
Vladimir decided to take a quick look later.
Thinking of this, Vladimir chuckled: "Red Hair, tell me, what's the situation like in the New World now?"
Hearing this, Red Hair patted him on the shoulder, laughing heartily: "Instead of that, let me introduce you to the crew first."
Next, a group of pirates started a banquet on the deck again.
Vladimir got to know Red Hair's group of executives. As executives under the Yonko Pirates, each of their strengths was very powerful and not to be underestimated.
However, Red Hair was young after all. Even as a Yonko, he was currently ranked last, so he seemed slightly inferior compared to the legendary Whitebeard Pirates.
After eating and drinking his fill, Vladimir returned to his room.
With a thought, the transformation of the great demon Ibaraki-dōji was cancelled. In the next moment, he transformed into the Shadow Fiend, and endless black smoke emanated from his body.
He didn't dare to mess around too much, after all, he was on Red Hair's ship. He didn't want to reveal that Ibaraki and the Shadow Fiend were actually the same person.
"Time is limited, go check out the situation."
Saying softly, Vladimir slowly closed his eyes. After a slight feeling of dizziness, he had already appeared in a prison.
The air quality in the prison was very poor, filled with a decaying smell.
Vladimir surveyed the situation inside the cell.
There was only one person in the cell. The bald man was shackled and sitting cross-legged.
He looked very dejected, and between the opening and closing of his mouth, he was feebly muttering something to himself.
"Is he dead?"
Suddenly, a ghostly voice rang out. In the next moment, a wisp of black smoke passed by, and the figure of the Shadow Fiend appeared.
"Ah!" The bald man was startled, then widened his eyes, saying in disbelief: "Lord Shadow, you, you were also captured!? It's over, it's over. I was still hoping that you could save me."
His face was full of sorrow.
Vladimir kicked him unceremoniously, "Even if your dad was captured, I couldn't be captured. The Navy wants to capture me..."
Vladimir wasn't exaggerating.
