"If there's no Water, there's always urine, right? Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror?" Rosen pointed at Kuzan and cursed, "Someone like you isn't even half… No, not even a tenth as handsome as the Old Man."
Kuzan squatted in a corner, drawing circles, completely depressed, enveloped by a low-pressure aura.
"Hey, before you get depressed, can you at least arrest me first?"
Kuzan perked up again, looking at Rosen's outstretched hands.
"I didn't bring Sea Stone Shackles."
Kuzan himself was a Devil Fruit user, so carrying Sea Stone with him would only cause trouble.
For him, his own strength was fundamental, so there was no need to carry Sea Stone.
Although Rosen repeatedly expressed his willingness to surrender.
Kuzan still refused to believe Rosen.
Kuzan raised his arms, Ice Block: Partisan!
Kuzan's arms transformed into two ice spears covered in intersecting barbs, piercing into Rosen's chest.
Rosen looked down at Kuzan, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"I told you, I want to surrender. Don't you know this hurts a lot?"
Kuzan looked at Rosen, who still hadn't made a move, and a doubt arose in his heart.
Kuzan retracted the ice spears, watching Rosen warily.
"Are you really not going to fight back?"
"You are an Admiral, one of the Marine's strongest forces. The outcome is the same whether I fight or not. Besides, I'm already this old, so I won't bother. Going to Impel Down is perfect for retirement."
Kuzan pointed at Rosen's chest, Ice Time.
Kuzan sealed the wound on Rosen's chest.
Among the three Admirals, Kuzan was still relatively gentle.
Subsequently, Kuzan froze hundreds of kilometers of the sea, allowing the refugees on those islands to cross the sea and leave.
This was the true value of the three Admirals, Kuzan's Devil Fruit Awakening.
"This sea area will remain frozen for a week. If you head in this direction, you'll see the next island. Remember to keep warm and don't catch a cold," Kuzan instructed the refugees from the shore.
After seeing off the refugees, Kuzan turned back to Rosen.
"Those people are gone. Do you want to fight now?" Kuzan confirmed again.
He thought Rosen might have been worried about accidentally harming the refugees, which was why he hadn't made a move.
So, after seeing the refugees off, Kuzan asked again.
"No need. Just take me to Impel Down."
Kuzan pushed over a bicycle: "Then get on."
Kuzan traversed the sea on his bicycle, and the seawater beneath the wheels would freeze, making him the only Marine who could leisurely wander around like this.
Rosen sat on the back seat, and Kuzan rode the bicycle away from the small island.
"What a pity. I thought the first passenger on the back seat of my bicycle would definitely be a beautiful lady. I never expected it to be a smelly Old Man."
"You should be content. Being able to carry me is a blessing you've cultivated for eight lifetimes."
Finally, after a day and a night of cycling on the sea, Kuzan finally delivered Rosen to Impel Down.
Most of Impel Down's architectural structure is underwater, with the sixth and seventh levels being deep beneath the sea floor.
This means that if a pirate were to damage Impel Down, seawater would flood the prison.
Greeting Kuzan was Hannyabal, the Vice Warden of Impel Down. Hannyabal wore a Pharaoh's headdress, had a lewd expression, was shirtless, held a trident, and had a pair of small Devil wings on his back.
"My Lord Kuzan, why have you come in person? Have you come to inspect Impel Down? I'll tell you secretly, our Warden is very incompetent, slacking off every day…"
Kuzan glanced indifferently at Hannyabal, then at Rosen behind him.
"I brought him," Kuzan said, pointing at Rosen behind him. "He's a wanted criminal with a 300 million Berries bounty. Lock him up."
"I see. Which level would be suitable to detain him?"
Kuzan thought for a moment, then turned to Rosen and asked, "Which level do you think is suitable?"
"Send me to the sixth level," Rosen said.
"Are you very familiar with Impel Down?"
"Not very. But since I'm here, I naturally want to see the most worthwhile place."
"Then send him to the sixth level."
Normally, a 300 million Berries bounty would not qualify for imprisonment in Infinite Hells.
However, since Kuzan had spoken, Hannyabal naturally followed his orders.
"Yes, I will definitely fulfill My Lord Kuzan's entrustment." Hannyabal saluted.
"First, put Sea Stone Shackles on him."
Hannyabal immediately complied. Before Rosen was shackled, Kuzan remained wary of Rosen suddenly erupting.
However, Rosen remained unresponsive, allowing the Sea Stone Shackles to be placed on him.
"Well then, goodbye, you old stinker." Kuzan waved his hand.
"Goodbye, I think we'll have a chance to meet again."
"That's only if you can escape Impel Down."
Rosen was led by Hannyabal into the eerie sixth level of Impel Down, Infinite Hells.
Impel Down's above-water structures were the administrative and living areas, where jailers resided and high-ranking officials worked.
The first underwater level was Crimson Hell, the prison for pirates with minor offenses.
The second underwater level was Beast Hell, the third was Starvation Hell, the fourth was Blazing Hell, the fifth was Freezing Hell, and the sixth was Infinite Hells.
And those who could be imprisoned in Infinite Hells were all legendary monsters.
Upon arriving at the sixth level, Infinite Hells, Rosen could see the terrifying killing intent emanating from every prisoner in the eerie cells.
Someone opened their eyes from the darkness.
"Another newcomer?"
"Heh heh heh… Looks like a scrawny Old Man."
Almost every prisoner in every cell was radiating malice towards Rosen and the jailers.
Hannyabal's hair stood on end. He just wanted to quickly put Rosen into a cell, and then he would immediately leave Infinite Hells.
Rosen was put into a cage, and Hannyabal and the jailers then left quickly.
In this cage, Rosen was not the only occupant.
In the darkness, a huge Shadow loomed over, and as this tall Shadow moved, it made muffled sounds of shackles clanking.
"Old Man, what did you do?"
Rosen clearly saw his cellmate: a burly man wearing a black-and-white striped prisoner's uniform, eight meters tall. One of this man's arms might even be larger than Rosen.
Half of his body had large areas of burns, his golden hair reached his waist, and a wild smile was on his face.
Both his hands and feet were bound by heavy shackles.
"It's not important," Rosen said with a smile.
Bang—
Rosen pulled with both hands, and the Sea Stone Shackles were directly torn apart.
The tall, strong man looked surprised: "You're not a Devil Fruit user?"
"Heh heh… You guess."
"Destroy my shackles, and I'll take you out," the man said excitedly.
"I worked so hard to get in, why would I want to leave?"
"You came in on purpose?"
"That's right."
Rosen looked at the tall, strong man: "You're Douglas Bullet?"
"You know me?"
"The Pirate King's crewmate, how could I not know?" Rosen said, "Don't bother me recently. If I'm in a good mood, I'll let you out, but if you make me unhappy, then I can hardly guarantee I won't include you as part of my plan."
"What are you going to do?"
"First, shut up." Rosen made a zipping motion over his mouth.
In the darkness, Rosen began to create the fifth Shadow Demon.
First, he separated a portion of his Soul, and then Rosen began to merge into his own Shadow.
Rosen's magic talent had always been rather ordinary, taking decades to reach the level of creating the fifth Shadow Demon.
His primary combat power had always been provided by the Chakra system.
It took a day for the fifth Shadow Demon to finally be completed.
Lazy Shadow Demon! This was a slacker who seemed to have no bones from birth, lazily lurking in Rosen's Shadow.
Rosen equipped the Lazy Shadow Demon with a pair of Sharingan.
One-Tomoe, Two-Tomoe, Three-Tomoe… Mangekyo… Eternal Mangekyo, Rinnegan.
For Rosen, evolving to Rinnegan was that easy, without any difficulty.
But the Lazy Shadow Demon remained silent, not uttering a sound.
Bullet, meanwhile, had been secretly observing Rosen.
He looked like a Shadow-Shadow Fruit user.
But why was he unaffected by Sea Stone?
Bullet couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
"Increasing my strength," Rosen replied.
"Then what's your plan?"
Rosen ignored Bullet's question and looked at the opposite cell.
"Who is imprisoned in that cell opposite?"
The cells in Infinite Hells varied in shape; some were very large, others very small.
The cell opposite was a very large cage, with bars wide enough for a horse to run through.
So, the prisoner confined within was definitely a very large criminal.
"San Juan Wolf, a Giant Race."
"So it's him." Rosen pulled open the bars of his cell and walked towards the cell opposite.
Boom—
A loud sound came from the opposite side.
In the Shadow, a colossal Giant appeared before Rosen.
This Giant's body reached 180 meters, and he was known as the most vicious pirate.
The crimes he committed even had to be concealed; once made public, they would cause panic.
His Devil Fruit was the Huge-Huge Fruit, which was why he was so much taller than ordinary Giants.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
"I need your Devil Fruit. I don't think you're willing to give it to me, so I'm convincing you to give it to me," Rosen said.
…
Buru Buru—
Kuzan was cycling leisurely on the sea when his Transponder Snail rang.
"Kuzan, where did you run off to?"
It was Borsalino calling.
"Just went to Impel Down to drop off a wanted criminal."
"Is that so? To be personally escorted to Impel Down by you, he must be a very dangerous wanted criminal, right?"
"Not dangerous at all. He barely resisted," Kuzan replied. "I could feel he was very dangerous, but he didn't resist at all."
"Is that so? Perhaps it's because you are an Admiral, so he gave up resisting."
"Perhaps."
"By the way, what's his name? I'll cancel his wanted poster."
"White-Haired Ghost, 300 million Berries."
