This sudden sound resembled a loudspeaker placed in the sixth-floor Eternal Hell, causing vibrations that made people's eardrums ache.
"Um?"
Everyone standing on the stone slab, upon hearing the voice, couldn't help but show surprise.
Without a doubt, those imprisoned in this Eternal Hell were all major pirates or exceptionally powerful beings. How could there be such a Strange and bizarre presence?
None of them had heard this man's voice before.
Moreover, considering Buggy's deliberate choice earlier, the big pirates who had been begging him had completely given up hope.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone at this point saying such unwise things.
The main reason was that the words sounded childish, perplexing everyone even more.
Almost instinctively, Buggy, Redfield, Gabban, and others utilized their Observation Haki, simultaneously sweeping across the Eternal Hell. Finally, their attention was locked onto a massive cell tucked away in the corner of the sixth floor.
This cell appeared to be at least two hundred meters tall!
However, the prisoner confined within it was a giant around the height of 14m. This person was also a bit overweight.
Wrapped in more than a dozen arm-thick seastone chains, he had a somewhat cute appearance, resembling a rice dumpling.
"Who is this guy?" Buggy turned to Gabban in confusion, who then glanced at Redfield.
Observing their puzzled expressions, Redfield furrowed his brow and spoke slowly, "From what I recall, government officials used to come here often to draw his blood. However, no one has come for the past two years. As for his name, I'm not sure either."
Upon hearing about the government frequently attending to him and the guy's aversion to injections, one might speculate that he could be a government experiment subject.
Especially considering his confinement in such an enormous cell, it's not the treatment ordinary pirates would receive at all.
With these thoughts in mind, Buggy looked in that direction and inquired, " What is your name?"
In a weak tone, the loud voice replied to Buggy's question, "My name is SanJuan wolf well, it's been a long time since I've seen my mother."
The colossal battleship!
The Paramecia in the Blackbeard crew? The ability to Deka Deka No Mi helps him to be bigger than even ordinary giants. This guy can stand in the ocean even after eating the devil's fruit.
Buggy's eyes lit up, and with a whoosh, he flew off the stone slab, heading towards the massive cage deep within the Eternal Hell.
Bang, bang, bang...
Seeing Buggy's actions, Redfield, Bullet, and Gabban hesitated briefly before following Buggy, utilizing Moonwalk to fly.
They were genuinely curious about what had happened to this individual named Sanjuan Wolf.
After all, they had witnessed the huge cell in the corner of the Eternal Hell moments ago. They hadn't noticed such an unusual cell before. If the cell was this peculiar, then the prisoner locked inside couldn't be ordinary! It's worth noting that even Giants don't have cells as large as this.
Rustle...
Subsequently, Crocodile also flew up and headed in the same direction.
Observing everyone flying away in the air, Luffy, standing on the stone slab, scratched his head and lamented, "Hey, Ivan-chan, how come they can fly using the same techniques as those guys who captured Robin? Aren't they pirates? Why can't they use the techniques of those black-suited individuals?"
Ivankov paused for a moment, then realized what Luffy was referring to and smiled, replying, "That's the Marine Six Styles. The black-suited individuals who must have captured Nico Robin should be agents of the government's CP agency. They are knowledgeable in those six styles; it's nothing out of the ordinary. These techniques are not a secret to the top powerhouses. Your grandfather, your father, can do it too."
"Hey! That's amazing!" Luffy's eyes widened, and his tongue stuck out. He scratched his head and added, "Then why didn't my grandfather teach me?"
Boom!
Unable to bear it any longer, Mr. 3 punched Luffy on the head and shouted, "Idiot! That's the Marine Six Style! You didn't join the Marines; how could your grandfather teach you?"
"Hey! Is that so?" Luffy exclaimed, once again taken aback.
"But after fighting with them, I also learned one of their moves—the ability to disappear with a whoosh and reappear," Luffy continued.
"Hey!" This time, it was Mr. 3 and Mr 2's turn to be shocked.
While they conversed, Buggy and the others arrived at the massive cell in the corner of the Eternal Hell.
One could say that there's a difference between seeing it with their own eyes and having prior knowledge.
A prison cell towering two hundred meters high!
When seen up close, it truly was astonishing.
Now that Buggy knew who was inside, he didn't hesitate. He placed his hands on the huge seastone cell, which was several tens of centimetres thick, and shouted, "Comprehensive Decomposition!"
Hum...
A massive white light, spanning tens of meters, flashed, and the enormous seastone gate shattered into countless tiny fragments, raining down on the ground.
"Ohhh, that's impressive!" exclaimed the SanJuan Wolf inside when he witnessed the scene.
He wasn't the only one; Redfield and the others following behind wore serious expressions.
Buggy's terrifying ability was unlike anything they had ever witnessed from the Chop-Chop Fruit. Could this be the power of awakening?
"From now on, I'll call you Juan. Why were you arrested?" Buggy casually initiated the conversation as he approached San Juan Wolf.
As a modern individual, he wasn't a saint, but he genuinely disliked partnering with a murderous character of that sort.
Perplexed, San Juan Wolf responded, "I don't know. One day, I was playing on the beach, and then someone told me I was sick and needed treatment. After that, I kept receiving injections. Eventually, I managed to escape. I ate a fruit that made me bigger. Then they beat me up and brought me here."
"It's been a long time, so I've forgotten most of it."
Buggy's gaze sharpened. Why did this plot feel so familiar? Weren't those bastards, Ceaser Clown and Doflamingo? Was the Giant Corps plan in motion this early?
In his recollection, Sanjuan Wolf was nearly a hundred years old!
Nevertheless, it didn't matter. Buggy nonchalantly used his shattering magic, breaking all the seastone restraints on Juan's body. He then smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. From now on, you can hang out with me, Buggy. No one will give you injections, and you'll have food and shelter."
How does that sound?
"Food and lodging? Oh, oh, board and lodging! That's awesome! Mr Buggy, you're such a nice guy!" San Juan Wolf exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and down like a child.
Whoosh!
Under the astonished gazes of Redfield and the others, he quickly expanded, growing into a 180-meter giant within a few breaths.
