Chapter's Events: 

—————————

[Hannyabal!! Can you hear me?] shouted Magellan.

"Ah! Is… Is that Warden Magellan!!? Where are you!?" exclaimed Hannyabal.

"I've just taken care of the idiots on Level 2."

Prisoners on Level 2 appeared submerged in Magellan's purple poison, groaning in agony.

[Eh!!?] Hannyabal was shocked on the other end of the Den Den Mushi line.

"I've also sealed off this floor. The others will be dealt with soon enough," he said indifferently.

"Captain Buggy!! There's a giant ball of poison in the doorway!!"

Prisoners who survived Magellan's attack were trapped inside Level 2, including Buggy and Mr. 3.

"Damn you, Magellan!!! That makeshift thing!!!" shouted Buggy.

"This is bad!!!" yelled Mr. 3.

"I have no idea why Blackbeard attacked. I don't want to do this, but… We have no other options."

Magellan appeared calm in such an unprecedented situation, after all, he was in charge of the prison.

"We can't ask for reinforcements from Marine Headquarters. We need to pull through on our own. Move to suppress the prisoners on Level 4 with all available forces!!"

"I'm on my way as well."

[Hold on until I make it there…!!!] Magellan cut off the call after saying that.

Hannyabal cried with joy and emotion after finally hearing the good news.

"Uwooohh, Warden!!!" shouted Hannyabal.

"Hey! Warden!! Warden!! Warden!!"

"Let's go, quickly!"

•———•———•———•———•———•

New Word's sea; at Oro Jackson:

The ship left the island, which was experiencing strong winds, and entered a relatively calm sea.

Members of Roger Pirates left the ship's cabin (The art store) and already emerged onto the deck where the weather was sunny.

"What's this!? I haven't rejoiced enough yet!" 

Everyone heard Buggy's frustrated voice.

"Haha! Your enjoyable journey with Mr. 3 is over. Magellan has become serious again…"

"Even Luffy couldn't do anything in front of him, let alone you…"

"Magellan seems terrifying right now… Someone might die, I think…"

"Damn you, Magellan! It seems my poor counterpart is in trouble! How will he get out of Level 2 if the exit is closed with a wall of burning poison?" 

Young Buggy shared the same sentiments with Buggy in the manga... After all, being his 'counterpart' was the only character in the manga worth being a real fan of!

No matter how weak he is...

"Hahaha! This is a wonderful end! You deserve it, you damn it!" 

Seeing the scene on Level 6 after Shiryu's release, Buggy felt happy.

After all, it's good that their ally turned into their enemy!

...

Marigoa:

"The reaction finally came…"

"I thought Magellan went to relieve himself and slept there."

"His calmness in this situation is commendable."

"Well, at least he's done with the prisoners' riot in Level 2."

"Can he salvage the situation? Do you think so?"

The five elders regained their composure at this moment after seeing what Blackbeard had done.

"Shiryu?" Saint Warcury raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Releasing him at this stage is indeed a wise choice," Saint Mars admitted.

"Yes, after all, they can't request reinforcements from Marineford in this sensitive situation," the same goes for Saint Saturn.

"Is it wise to release Shiryu from the sixth-level cell and make him stop Blackbeard Pirates?" As if feeling that something was amiss, Saint Ju Peter, the youngest member among the five elders, wondered.

"What is this madman Shiryu doing!?" 

The eyes of the samurai Gorosei, Saint Nasjuro, widened as he saw what Shiryu had done after getting his sword.

...

{Level 6, Infinite Hell}

Shiryu was released at this moment. 

"Ahh, that was getting old… Infinite boredom really makes you want to die." 

Shiryu lit a cigar and seemed pleased with himself. 

[Impel Down Head Guard Shiryu of the Rain]

"… But I hope you aren't just letting me out when it's convenient." 

"Just to put me back in a cell later. Magellan…" Shiryu said.

[You're still on death row; You just have your sentence postponed. You don't get any more chances.] 

"Yeah, that's true… I'll keep that in mind," replied Shiryu.

"Your sword, Head Guard Shiryu." 

The prison guard handed Shiryu his sword. 

[Take care of Blackbeard] Magellan ordered. 

"Got it." 

Magellan promptly ended the call once he received the confirmation.

"It's been a while… since I've held a sword." 

Shiryu unsheathed his sword, feeling nostalgic… 

The atmosphere around him changed as soon as he wielded his demonic sword. That's what the guards nearby felt. 

Before they could react, they were sliced into pieces. "Gyaaaahh…" 

"My apologies for cutting you down…"

•———•———•———•———•———•

Impel Down:

"Mad… mad… Zehahahaha! But I love it." Teach licked his lips after seeing the person released in the manga to deal with his counterpart, cutting down guards mercilessly.

"Haha! Even apologizing for cutting them down~ Zehahahaha! Entertaining! Very entertaining!"

"It seems Magellan got confused, as usual." 

Shiryu tossed Hannyabal aside, who had been slapped until his face swelled, before saying so with a mocking smile on his face.

Shiryu shook his hands before flipping the manga page to the scene where he sliced through prison guards after getting his sword.

"My counterpart was imprisoned in the eternal hell for who knows how long, and now he wants him to act normally and obey orders?" 

"Let me tell you, I know very well what my counterpart is thinking at this moment. Since the moment he was imprisoned, all ties with the prison and the government have already been severed."

"Zehahahaha~ This means you must be a potential new member of my counterpart's crew?" Teach wondered with a happy expression.

"Most likely, yes, and if not, my counterpart will cut down anyone he sees in his way until he leaves the prison and sails away…"

"Let me also tell you that my counterpart won't let a madman like yours go without inviting him to his crew, Zehahaha!"

Just as Shiryu knew his counterpart well, the same applied to Teach… after all, they represented the same individuals but in the past. 

"What happened to you, Hannyabal?" 

Magellan, who had a grim expression after seeing Shiryu's true colors in the manga, looked at Hannyabal, who was crawling with a swollen face, having been slapped dozens of times.

"W… W… Warden…! Please protect me from Teach and Shiryu… If they bully me more than this, I'll die!" Hannyabal cried tears of despair.

"I'm not the Warden anymore… Well, come here." Magellan felt sorry for Hannyabal, after all, the manga showed him that he was a trustworthy subordinate despite being a complete fool.

"T-Th-Thank you, Warden! Long live the Warden!" Hannyabal cheered happily.

"I told you I'm not the Warden anymore! So shut up and go treat your wounds." 

… 

After Hannyabal left, Magellan sank into his thoughts.

"Well, Shiryu the traitor, the whole world will know that you don't deserve to stay in Impel Down."

"The same goes for Teach…" 

At this moment, Magellan's eyes reflected the advanced scenes where Teach's arrogance was crushed in their battle at Impel Down.
