Impel Down – Level 4, Blazing Hell
"Y-you bastards…"
Chief Warden Magellan lay collapsed on the ground, his body heavily wounded.
Venom still covered him, but he could no longer stand.
The one who had defeated him—
was none other than the Supreme Commander of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon.
—
"S-so strong… Luffy's dad…"
From behind, Usopp trembled as he watched the battle, then suddenly shouted in admiration:
"This is amazing! With someone this strong, we'll definitely make it out!"
—
"Idiot, we still have to go to Marine Headquarters to save Luffy's brother."
Nami snapped.
—
At those words, Usopp's legs instantly went weak again.
Marine Headquarters!?
A place where Whitebeard, Admirals, and Warlords would all gather!?
Tears welled up immediately.
No! Mom, I want to go home!
—
Of course—
he only dared think that.
Stopping Luffy?
Impossible.
—
"Hmph. Anyone daring to oppose the World Government should be this strong."
Kid sneered.
—
Compared to the original timeline, this prison break lineup was absurdly luxurious.
Aside from Dragon himself—
there was Sabo, Morley, and other Revolutionary Army commanders.
—
The Supernovas captured at Sabaody—
Kid, Killer, Apoo, Hawkins—
had also been freed.
They temporarily allied with Luffy for the breakout.
—
With such a lineup—
how could Magellan possibly hold them back?
—
"Move."
After defeating Magellan, Dragon spoke a single word.
—
"This bastard made me suffer plenty back in Level 6!"
Kid scoffed, raising his massive metal arm, formed from countless weapons, preparing to finish Magellan off.
—
But just as he moved—
a water pipe shot out from the side, smashing his arm away effortlessly.
—
"Huh?!"
Kid staggered back, glaring toward the attacker.
—
It was Sabo.
—
"What's your problem?!"
Kid barked.
—
"You can't kill him."
Sabo's tone was calm, but his eyes were firm.
"This prison will still need someone like him to restore order afterward."
—
Kid scoffed.
"You've already turned this place upside down and you're still thinking that far ahead? Is that how you revolutionaries are?"
—
"Want to fight first?"
Sabo's gaze sharpened.
—
"Kid! Don't be stupid!"
Killer grabbed his shoulder.
—
"Tch!"
Having witnessed Dragon's strength, even someone as reckless as Kid knew better than to push it.
He backed down and led his crew onward toward Level 3.
—
Just as the breakout group prepared to move up—
a violent wave of black energy surged toward them like a tide.
—
"What the hell is that?!"
Apoo shouted.
—
Dragon raised his hand.
A violent gale erupted, blocking the black wave.
—
"Zehahaha! To think someone besides Magellan could block my darkness…"
A large figure with a round belly walked down the stairs.
—
Blackbeard Pirates.
—
"You!!"
The moment Luffy saw him, rage exploded.
—
"Zehahaha! Long time no see, Straw Hat!"
Teach laughed loudly.
"I originally planned to capture you and trade you to the Government for a Warlord title—but Ace got in the way."
"Even I have to admit… you're ridiculously lucky."
—
Luffy froze in shock.
He hadn't known—
Ace had taken his place.
—
Teach glanced at Dragon, a hint of caution in his eyes.
"I didn't expect the Revolutionary Army's leader himself to show up."
—
"In a place like this, fighting benefits neither of us."
He spread his hands.
"How about it? We each go our own way—no fighting."
—
Even Blackbeard had to be wary of the Revolutionary Army.
Especially now—
when his power wasn't fully established.
—
Dragon remained expressionless.
"We're leaving."
—
"Luffy, come on!"
Sabo grabbed his arm.
"Saving Ace is what matters now—not fighting him!"
—
As they passed by Blackbeard—
Teach grinned, unable to hide his excitement.
"Sky Island exists, right?"
"We'll meet again soon."
—
Five hours remained until Ace's execution.
Above Sabaody – The Floating Flower Capital
"Has the Revolutionary Army gone mad? What are they trying to do?"
Elder Nyon gasped after reading the latest report.
Instead of overthrowing kingdoms—
they attacked Impel Down?
Didn't they realize this would unleash countless criminals into the world?
—
Under Hancock's slightly jealous gaze,
Komurasaki finished adjusting Xia Te's clothes.
—
"Quite the fatherly love…"
Xia Te chuckled softly as he read the report.
—
After all—
what else would drive Dragon—
to personally storm Impel Down—
if not for his son?
