chapter 146 part 2
Seeing this, Ren Arakawa wanted to continue his attack.
A fierce glint flashed in Magellan's eyes. He furiously slammed both hands onto the ground and roared, "Poison Sea!"
In an instant, the terrifying red venom emanating from his body surged outward like a rushing tide, rapidly spreading in all directions. Wherever it reached, the floor was instantly corroded, turning into a fiery red, highly poisonous zone. The pungent smell and scorching heat intertwined, as if it were a purgatory from hell, making the surrounding air distorted and dangerous!
Seeing this, Ren Arakawa's heart sank. The ground beneath his feet was already completely covered by the venom; there was no place for him to stand. Helplessly, he could only rely on his speed advantage to rapidly retreat, watching Magellan from a distance with a solemn expression.
However, Magellan gave Ren Arakawa no chance to breathe. He took a deep breath, his throat bulging for a moment, and then a large mass of poison gas sprayed out from his mouth. Like a black cloud, it rapidly drifted toward Ren Arakawa.
Wherever the poison gas passed, the air itself seemed to be corroded away, emitting a "sizzling" sound.
At the same time, Magellan quickly flicked his wrist, sending poison balls flying toward Ren Arakawa like meteors, trailing long red tails behind them. If he was hit, he would waste a precious antidote.
Ren Arakawa continuously dodged while secretly planning his next move.
At this moment, Magellan was like a mobile poison cannon, continuously bombarding Ren Arakawa with his potent attacks and shrinking his room for survival.
He couldn't stand on the ground, and it was hard to dodge while flying.
If the battle dragged on, he would also run out of antidotes due to the large amount of poisonous gas.
"Too troublesome."
But no matter what, being able to force an Admiral-level opponent like Magellan to this extent, even if he couldn't be defeated, was still an astonishing feat.
Thinking of this, Pirate Ren Arakawa no longer hesitated. He conserved his stamina and flew toward the entrance to the lower level.
"Where do you think you're going?! Stay here!"
Magellan waved his wrist, throwing several poison balls.
However, Ren Arakawa's reaction was too fast. Those poison balls merely served as a farewell gesture before Ren Arakawa flew out of Magellan's sight.
"Damn it... Fine. First, I'll resolve the chaos in Infinite Hell, then I'll capture this fellow and bring him to justice!"
At this moment, at the corner between Level 6, Infinite Hell, and Level 5, Extreme Cold Hell, two forces were in a standoff.
Pirates are not only enemies with the Marines; they are also rivals among themselves and have had many conflicts on the sea.
Coupled with years of incarceration making their minds less agile, old enemies seeing each other instantly became enraged. Forgetting about the prison break, many directly clashed.
"It was because of you, you bastard, that I was captured and brought to Impel Down! I'll take your life!"
"How dare you say that! You were chased by the Marines because you stole my treasure map! I only attacked the Marines to get my treasure map back, which is why I was caught and brought to Impel Down! It's all your fault!"
The crowd was in a constant uproar. Lightning and Ivankov looked at this unruly mob, having no good solution.
Although these fellows were physically weak due to long-term malnutrition and the effects of the poison.
But in the end, they were pirates with bounties over a hundred million, not so easy to deal with.
Just as the two sides were about to erupt into conflict, a figure flashed into the space between them.
The Red Earl held his famed sword, Raiu, and slashed, imbuing it with swirling red Armament Haki. A huge crack appeared in the floor.
Seeing this, the pirates who had just been arguing instantly shut their mouths.
"I will say this only once: The primary task right now is to leave Impel Down! If anyone causes trouble, I will consider it a declaration of war against me!"
Catarina Devon, hands on her hips, let out a strange laugh. "Ahahahaha~ As expected of Red the Aloof."
The commotion finally ended, and the elevator to the Blazing Hell, which they had been waiting for a long time, was finally about to arrive.
At this time, a person confined in a nearby cell suddenly laughed.
"Heh heh heh heh."
The prisoners turned their heads and saw a figure wrapped in a military coat.
"Shiryu of the Rain?! How did that guy get locked up?"
"Oh, him? I heard he was imprisoned by that Poison Human for massacring his comrades. Serves him right!"
"Heh heh heh heh." Shiryu of the Rain continued to laugh, his laughter very eerie, making people shiver.
"Do you think taking my sword means you can defeat that Magellan guy?" Shiryu looked at the Red Earl. "Your weather-beaten old head will only rot away under the effects of the poison."
"Release me! Only I can deal with Magellan!"
Such highly deceptive words swayed several prisoners.
"That's right! Shiryu of the Rain and Magellan are known as the 'Twin Walls' of Impel Down. If we let him deal with Magellan, wouldn't we be able to escape?"
"Exactly, exactly! Why don't we release this guy?"
However, Lightning didn't hesitate in the slightest. He shouted loudly, "Shiryu is not to be trusted! If you release him, he will kill us first! That's his nature! Why don't you ask the jailers who died by his hand?!"
There were many deviants like Shiryu of the Rain imprisoned in Infinite Hell.
Some were savages who, once released, would start attacking the prisoners around them.
And Shiryu was just one of them.
Another person who suffered the same fate, handpicked by Ren Arakawa, was the movie-exclusive boss who was determined to kill all the Four Emperors, Admirals, and powerful figures—Douglas Bullet.
"Heh heh heh."
Shiryu lit a cigar. "That's all Magellan's nonsense. I was wrongly imprisoned and just want revenge on him. Hey, with so many of you, you can't be afraid of me turning on you, are you?"
"Enough."
The Red Earl interrupted Shiryu. As he possessed the ability to read minds, the corners of his mouth lifted. "Your little tricks can only deceive them. Goodbye, Shiryu of the Rain."
As soon as his voice fell, the elevator "dinged" as it arrived at Infinite Hell. The prisoners all squeezed inside, fearing they would be left behind.
However, this elevator was made very large to accommodate giant prisoners, so everyone who wanted to get on did. The remaining prisoners were mostly those with relatively weaker strength, but they were also waiting for the next elevator.
Seeing this unruly mob preparing to flee, Shiryu exhaled a smoke ring.
"I'd like to see how you deal with that guy."
And at this moment, another rarely used emergency elevator nearby began to shake violently.
Seeing this elevator in operation, Shiryu of the Rain, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up.
A bloodthirsty gleam flashed in his eyes, but it quickly receded!
After a while, the elevator reached the floor, and the remaining prisoners quickly ran over.
However, just as the elevator doors opened, their smiles froze on their faces.
The person standing inside was Impel Down's "Iron Wall"!
The Poison Human! Magellan!
