"I'm telling you! Let the three of us out! We'll go to Marineford with you!" Crocodile repeated his words, his face full of resentment, gritting his teeth.
Luffy was still bewildered, blinking his eyes, and scratched his head, "Why should I take you guys..."
Crocodile was practically going insane with anger, cursing in his heart that these brothers were absolutely crazy! Crazy!
"Your younger brother Orochimaru demanded it, alright! Mr.3! Open the door!"
As soon as Luffy heard that, his cheeks puffed up with anger, and he crossed his arms. "It's Orochimaru again! Why should I listen to him! I'm the older brother! Mr.3! Why are you opening the door for him!"
Mr.3 scratched his head awkwardly. "My apologies, he was my former boss, it's a habit. Anyway, the door's already open, let's all go together."
Lightning cut Jinbe's handcuffs, and Jinbe looked at Luffy with a face full of shame.
"I'm sorry, Straw Hat. I know this might be a bit shameless, but I also want to save Ace.
I was locked up here because I opposed this war, but the cruel thing is, I've been unable to help. Not only did I not help Ace, but I became a burden, and I'm troubling you all to rescue me."
Over by Bullet, Buggy whispered something in his ear, and Bullet's usually calm eyes suddenly gleamed with ferocity. "Buggy... is what you said true?"
Buggy sighed, his eyes full of nostalgia. "I'm not sure... but what if... there's nothing to lose by going."
Lightning looked at the three of them, hands on his hips. "There are two Shichibukai here, including a former one, and a legendary Pirate."
Luffy turned to look at Lightning, his face blank. "Two? Who's the other one?"
"Thank you all very much, perhaps this way I can also do my part for that person." Jinbe thanked everyone with a solemn expression.
Crocodile reluctantly came closer, then looked at Ivankov, thinking of how these people were threatening him one by one, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Hmph, even if you go to stop Whitebeard Marine's war, it will only be a waste of effort. You might as well think about how to prevent their younger brother from causing trouble."
Ivankov blinked. He had been busy observing this very strange Level 6 prison and hadn't paid attention to Luffy's conversation. "Who?"
Jinbe's expression also became a bit grim. Although it was his first time meeting Orochimaru, the impression that guy left on him was truly terrible.
Luffy was still sulking. "Crocodile is talking about my younger brother, Orochimaru."
"What????" Ivankov was so shocked that he flew backward.
"Orochimaru??? Isn't he Sabo's younger brother??"
Luffy looked at Ivankov, feeling a bit happy.
"Yeah... Sabo is also my older brother. You know Sabo... Speaking of which, Orochimaru also mentioned that Sabo is with my dad, and he's also a Revolutionary Army member."
Ivankov was now filled with resentment. That guy Dragon actually had so many sons behind his back! And he didn't tell him! That's too much!
Wait... he remembered Sabo was adopted, and Orochimaru was a bonus.
Ivankov stated that if there were questions, they should be asked.
"Are they also Dragon's sons? If so, Dragon should also go to Marineford, right?"
Luffy tilted his head, looking at Ivankov.
"Huh? No... We don't have the same father.
My father is Dragon,
Sabo's father is an unknown noble,
Ace's father is the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger,
Orochimaru... *cough*
Ah... right... this needs to be kept a secret..."
Ivankov was speechless =_=. If it's a secret, don't say it so easily. You remember that *cough* very clearly, don't you?
"Forget it, forget it, it's not important. Now is not the time to talk about these things. I need to leave here quickly, and we need some troops to cause a disturbance."
After the group reached a consensus, Crocodile led them to find the key and freed Mr.1 and a host of other Pirates from their cells.
In an instant, the prison was like a heavy bomb had been dropped, and chaos quickly spread.
At the same time, the Blackbeard Pirates forcibly broke through the front, and Magellan had no choice but to go and resist, plunging the entire prison into extreme chaos.
On the first level of Impel Down, Vice Warden Hannyabal was already covered in wounds, yet he still stood firm at the entrance like a towering mountain.
Opposite him was a similarly panting Luffy. Luffy watched Hannyabal, dispelling the steam that enveloped him, and said firmly, "I'm going to save Ace!"
Hannyabal tightly gripped his double-edged long sword named "Blood Sucker" with one hand, struggling to stagger up from the ground, blood continuously dripping from his wounds, splashing into dazzling blood flowers on the floor.
His eyes like torches, he stared at Luffy and said, "Don't talk about saving your big brother. You scum of society shouldn't be spouting pretty words here.
You are nothing but infamous Pirates, guys who conspire to rebel. As long as you wander the seas, ordinary people will lie awake all night, fearing the loss of their loved ones!
Therefore, to allow those weak people to live in peace, I will lock all you vicious criminals in prison.
This is a hellish fortress. If it is destroyed, people will fall into endless panic! I will absolutely not let you pass here, not even one step!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burning with fury, staring directly at Hannyabal, and shouted loudly:
"For me, Ace's life is the most important! So, I'll say it again, move aside!"
Hannyabal and Luffy were at daggers drawn when a puff of black smoke drifted by, and the surrounding prison guards were all swallowed up.
Blackbeard revealed himself, stepping on Hannyabal's face, directly taking him out.
"Don't talk about justice or evil. Even if you search the whole world, there's no answer, is there? Utterly boring."
Luffy frowned deeply, quickly searching his mind... Who was this guy again?
Jinbe, however, glared at Blackbeard with a face full of anger, roaring, "Teach!!! Why are you here! No, should I call you Blackbeard now?"
Luffy heard the name, his pupils suddenly constricted, his eyes filled with shock. He stared at Blackbeard Teach in astonishment, his teeth grinding. "You are Blackbeard!"
Blackbeard first showed a hint of confusion, then burst into good at laughter. He spread his hands arrogantly.
"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet. Long time no see, Straw Hat. I was also quite surprised, I didn't expect you to be Ace's younger brother. You shouldn't be here.
It's about to begin, you know~ Your brother's public execution." Blackbeard Teach continued, maliciously trying to provoke Luffy with his words.
"Originally, I was going to claim the Shichibukai position, and my first target was you after dealing with Crocodile. But Ace appeared, saying things like you were his younger brother.
Fate is protecting you. From the moment that guy appeared before us, he had no retreat. Understand?
If we are let go, it won't just be a simple matter of tarnishing Whitebeard's reputation; your younger brother will also be killed.
When you get to Ace's grave, you'd better thank him properly. If he hadn't appeared, you would have been the one to die, Straw Hat."
As Luffy listened to these words, the anger in his heart burned brighter and brighter.
He crouched down, gathering strength, one fist slammed hard onto the ground, activating Second Gear.
In an instant, steam swirled around him, and then he appeared before Blackbeard like a flash of lightning, unleashing a full-force punch at Blackbeard.
"Second Gear, Gum-Gum Jet Pistol!" The unprepared Blackbeard instantly flew out like a cannonball.
