"Marshal Sengoku, I have no objections. Fire Fist Ace, you can take him away whenever you want! Shall we have the Momonga Vice Admiral and the Gion Vice Admiral who is waiting outside to escort Fire Fist Ace to Marineford?"
"Yes, of course! We at Impel Down will fully cooperate!"
"What about the prison riots?"
"Don't worry, Buggy the Clown. It doesn't matter, I'll handle it!"
Magellan hung up the phone with a serious expression, then turned to Hancock and suddenly made a pig-like face, saying, "My Lord Empress, have you finished your tour here?"
"Hmph! Disgusting man, stay away from this empress!" Hancock completely ignored Magellan's words. After giving a disdainful look to the shocked Ace, she flipped her waist-length hair and walked towards the entrance of the elevator.
Ace, who was sitting in his cell, was in a daze at that moment. He never expected that the Pirate Empress would travel thousands of miles just to see him.
A woman with Conqueror's Haki couldn't be involved in such a boring scheme. This kind of stupidity was more like something Luffy would do. Cold sweat formed on Ace's forehead, despite his initial determination to die. He didn't care about his own life, but if something happened to his brother...
Jinbei, who shared the same cell with Ace, also overheard what the Empress said earlier. He looked at Ace, who appeared flustered but couldn't find the right words to say.
Break into the Deep Sea Prison to rescue people? When Jinbei heard those words, his first thought was that it was all over. Ace's younger brother was also in grave danger.
Why...?
For a while, all that remained in the prison was Jinbei's sigh.
Click!
Squeak...
But in the next second, the cell door suddenly opened. Jinbei and Ace looked up in astonishment at the person who entered.
It was Magellan and the flying squirrel Vice Admiral. Magellan sneered at Ace and said, "I don't know what twisted thinking you pirates have to infiltrate the Deep Sea Prison and try to rob it."
"Yes, it's all about you, Fire Fist Ace. Your brother Straw Hat somehow managed to break into Imperton and is teaming up with Buggy the Clown and the Baroque works group to come and save you. I initially wanted to eliminate that group of people right in front of you."
"Although Marshal Sengoku wants to send you away early, I find it regrettable. But I suddenly thought, wouldn't it be amusing to see the expressions on the Straw Hat boys' faces when they come to this Eternal Hell and realize that you've already been taken away? Ha ha ha ha..."
Ace, restrained by the seastone chains, struggled violently upon hearing this, but he remained silent.
The Momonga Vice-Admiral on the side couldn't help but say, "Director Magellan, the way you're speaking sounds like a villain's speech! We are a government agency, it's not appropriate to talk like this."
"Ahahaha, is that so?" Magellan scratched his head and smiled innocently. "Maybe I got influenced by those little mice who escaped from the prison. Hehe."
While speaking, he directly released the seastone chains binding Ace's limbs, lifted him, and walked towards the exit. He looked at Ace with an evil grin and said, "Anyone who enters Impel Down will meet a gruesome end!"
Swish!
Upon hearing those words, Ace turned his head and glared at Magellan with fierce eyes. He gritted his teeth and growled, "If you dare to harm Luffy, I will kill you!"
A burst of Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted from Ace's body as he finished speaking. Although weaker than Hancock's earlier display, it still overwhelmed the Marine soldiers and jailers who had just regained consciousness, causing them to collapse to the ground with a series of "plops."
Witnessing this scene, the expressions on Magellan and the flying squirrel Vice Admiral darkened. They never expected Fire Fist Ace to possess Conqueror's Haki as well.
In the depths of Eternal Hell, someone let out a sigh. "Hey, has Conqueror's Haki become so common now? Any kid can have it?"
"It seems that even after twenty years, the outside world is still full of excitement."
"Too bad it's still too weak. I doubt he has even honed this power. Hahahaha..."
Amidst the hoarse laughter, Magellan and the flying squirrel Vice Admiral escorted Ace towards the elevator with stern faces.
Meanwhile, on the fourth floor of the Deep Sea Prison - Blazing Hell, prisoners lay scattered around the magma pool. Among them, a strong, bald man stood there in disbelief, watching the unfolding scene.
After a moment, he turned his head incredulously and looked at the man standing several meters away, wearing a black cloak and holding a cigar in his mouth. If it weren't for the familiar smile and the distinctive blue ponytail, he would have doubted whether this man was his former boss responsible for all this chaos.
No, his original boss didn't possess such strength and courage!
This was the Conqueror's Haki, a power that appeared only once in millions of people!
Yet, the clown makeup on his face made him unable to face the man with Conqueror's Haki in front of him, reminiscent of the person whose bounty was merely 15 million Berry.
But the truth was right there before his eyes!
There was only one explanation!
This man had been hiding for ten or twenty years, harbouring a powerful and terrifying ambition!
With Whitebeard preparing for war against the Marines, the New World's balance would be greatly disrupted!
Was this man aiming for the throne of the New World?
Yes!
Otherwise, why would he endure for over a decade?
And why would he possess such powerful and terrifying Conqueror's Haki?
Only those with wild ambitions and strength can possess conquerors Haki.
These thoughts raced through Mr. 1's mind, causing him to be momentarily distracted and hesitant. He mumbled subconsciously, "Buggy the Clown? No way, it can't be!"
"Mr. 1, what nonsense are you spouting? Clown Buggy is such a nice name! He is our future boss, the supreme king of the new era, the clown king, Mr Buggy!"
"That's right!" Mr.2 chimed in, circling around. "Daz-chan, our Lord Buggy saved you and granted you a second chance at life. Are you going to respond like this? With your appearance, how can you journey with us into the future new era? Or have you been worn down by Blazing Hell, Mr. 1?"
With Mr.2's words, Mr. 1's body trembled, and he let out a long breath. His gaze turned sharp as he first glanced at Luffy and finally settled his eyes on Buggy.
Boom!
In that instant, to the astonishment of those present, Mr. 1 dropped to one knee on the scorching ground. He then lowered his head slightly and spoke:
"Master Buggy, I thank you for granting me a second life! From this moment forward, I, Daz Bones, am willing to wield my blade as your vanguard, clearing all obstacles on the path to King Buggy!"
