The sixth floor of the deep-sea prison, known as Eternal Hell, was enveloped in an oppressive atmosphere.
Boom!
Crackling...
As the iron grille of the elevator door opened, Hannibal and his companions stepped out, accompanied by Boa Hancock. The sixth floor, unlike the previous five, was eerily silent, carrying a sense of impending death.
The silence shattered the moment they emerged from the elevator. The imprisoned pirates on the sixth floor erupted with lewd remarks and excited comments.
"Ohhh! What do we have here? Magellan have you finally realized it? Bringing us such a sexy and beautiful woman!"
"Hahahaha, Magellan boy, you've finally woken up! Not bad, not bad!"
"Woman, woman, woman! Magellan, send this woman to me now, or I'll kill you!"
"God, she's stunningly beautiful! Damn you, Magellan, you torture us with such wickedness? You deserve punishment!"
"I can't bear this! Is this what it feels like to see but not touch? Magellan, you're truly despicable!"
The sixth floor of the deep-sea prison was like a boiling pot at that moment. Countless notorious pirates, with bounties in the hundreds of millions, lay in front of their seastone cages, greedily gazing at Boa Hancock as she slowly walked among them.
Hancock, initially frustrated by her seastone handcuffs, grew even angrier as she heard the vulgar language from the pirate prisoners. Finally, after walking a few dozen meters, she came to a sudden stop.
Magellan and Vice Admiral Momonga, who were trailing behind on either side, looked at Hancock's profile with puzzled expressions. Before they could ask, Hancock's voice, filled with fury and authority, echoed through the sixth floor of Eternal Hell:
"You disrespectful scum, silence yourselves for me!"
Hancock's scolding reverberated through the air, temporarily silencing the rowdy pirates.
Hum!
Before the pirates could resume their obscenities, a powerful aura surged from Hancock's body, sweeping across the entire Eternal Hell in an instant.
This tremendous outburst shocked Magellan, the Vice Admiral, the Momonga, and the others in their group. Even Magellan's secretary, Domino, and a few jailers following them collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The previously noisy Eternal Hell fell into an eerie silence once again, as if the volume had been abruptly turned down.
Magellan and the Vice Admiral exchanged glances, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Conqueror's Haki!"
"This woman! She truly deserves the title of Pirate Empress! Such terrifying spirit power!"
As they whispered to each other, voices from the depths of Eternal Hell resurfaced.
"Tsk, ha ha ha! Magellan, you've brought another interesting individual! A Pirate Empress? No wonder you have such courage. Well done!"
"It's a shame, a shame that such a young woman is locked up with us old men!"
"Idiot! This woman is a Warlord of the Sea. She must have come here for a reason. How could she be imprisoned with us? But damn, she's really beautiful!"
"Two Warlords of the Sea in one day? This is getting interesting!"
As these voices gradually faded, the cells surrounding them fell silent, devoid of foul language.
Snort!
Observing the change, Hancock flicked her long hair and continued to stride forward proudly, with graceful steps.
This is the treatment befitting the strong! Even as a woman, she commands respect at this level with her Conqueror's Haki!
After all the only other woman who got Conqueror's Haki is Big Mom.
In this world, strength is revered.
Meanwhile...
Pilu pilu pilu...
A sudden ringing of a Transponder Snail in Magellan's pocket broke the silence.
Momentarily stunned, Magellan retrieved the snail and answered it, only to hear the panicked voice of a jailer on the other end.
"Ah, finally, I've connected! Director Magellan, is that you?"
"Huh?" Magellan furrowed his brow, sensing that something was amiss. "Yes, it's me."
"Director! Something terrible has happened! Clown Buggy has escaped from his cell! He freed several prisoners, all of them Devil Fruit users! And there's someone named Monkey D. Luffy, the supernova who recently knocked out the Celestial Dragons! They're following Buggy, along with Mr. 2 Bon Kurei and Mr. 3 Galdino from the Baroque Works organization, and they're wreaking havoc in the third-floor Starvation Hell! It seems they're heading deeper into the prison to rescue someone! What do we do, Director?"
Wow...
The jailer's terrified voice echoed through the silent Eternal Hell, causing an uproar.
Did someone try to escape?
Clown Buggy?
At that moment, the notorious pirates on the sixth floor of Eternal Hell burned the name into their memories.
Regardless of how strong or weak this clown Buggy was, the fact that he broke through to the third floor in such a short time and wanted to come down to rescue others was astounding.
Just this audacity was enough for the pirates present to etch his name in their minds.
"Nani!"
Upon hearing the news, Magellan's entire body was filled with venomous rage. He shouted into the Transponder Snail, "Wasn't Clown Buggy locked up on the first floor? How could he reach the third floor so quickly? Did you fools forget to release the beasts from Wild Beast hell?"
The jailer on the other end, panicked, replied in a trembling voice, "No, Director! We did release the beasts! They engaged hundreds of creatures, including the Sphinx, in a confrontation with Clown Buggy. But the confrontation lasted less than ten seconds."
"In an instant, Clown Buggy did something, and all the ferocious beasts collapsed! Director, that Clown Buggy is terrifying! And I overheard their conversation. Clown Buggy intends to bring Monkey D. Luffy and his group to the sixth floor to rescue his nephew, Fire Fist Ace! He's Buggy the Clown's eldest nephew and Straw Hat's older brother! Director, they're incredibly powerful. Chief Warden Sadi-chan and Prison Chief Hannyabal couldn't stop them; they all collapsed within moments! Clown Buggy is a true menace! We can't stop him at all, and they're approaching the fourth floor! Director, this is bad... other prisoners from different prisons have joined them. We can't contain them! Director, what do we do?!"
