Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Aerated Elephant

Lucas emerged from the interrogation room, calmly walking through a pool of blood that sent shockwaves through the observing prisoners.

As he stepped out, he raised his bound hands, the chains clinking ominously, and tidied up his prison uniform. His eyes shifted to the lifeless, dismembered CP0 team leader.

"Acting all menacing in front of me, and it ended like this," Lucas muttered as he assessed the CP0 leader's remains. He displayed no remorse, only a cold indifference.

Lucas turned, retraced his steps, and headed back into his cell, walking to the door as if he had returned home.

Ace, who had been observing the events, couldn't help but ask, "Did you kill them all?"

Lucas turned to face Ace and replied, "I didn't do anything. They all died at the hands of a clown."

He entered his cell, closed the cell door, and seating himself on the sofa, he picked up a cup of hot tea and took a casual sip, he carried on as if it were a casual afternoon tea break.

'...clown?' This bewildering response left Ace puzzled, and all the other prisoners who had been silently watching Lucas were equally stunned. '... what happened inside?'

The mysterious series of events that had unfolded in the interrogation room had left them all in shock. The sound of Lucas's footsteps as he returned to his cell and his nonchalant demeanor seemed surreal in the context of what they had witnessed.

Meanwhile, on the Fourth Level of Impel Down, near Magellan's office, the chief jailer found himself in a perplexing predicament. Magellan was sitting on the toilet with his stomach rumbling like a mega quake.

He had been experiencing an unusual restlessness lately, particularly during his bathroom visits. He often heard strange noises outside the bathroom door, including the sound of a bouncing ball, a little girl's laughter, classroom chatter, and various other inexplicable sounds.

This time was no different; as Magellan was in the restroom, he heard laughter, but this time, it was different, like an eerie ethereal voice.

"*Plup*..HAHAHAHA.."

The girl's laughter resonated through the bathroom, sending shivers down Magellan's spine. He couldn't shake the feeling that she might suddenly appear right before his eyes.

Frustration welled up within him, and he decided that he had had enough.

"I've had enough!" Magellan clenched his buttocks tightly, pinching the hanging doo doo off, and, without pulling up his pants, abruptly stood up and rushed out of the restroom. He was determined to confront this elusive apparition head-on.

However, his haste led to an embarrassing confrontation when he emerged from the bathroom. Sengoku was standing outside, seemingly waiting for Magellan, and he witnessed the chief jailer's frantic exit.

The two imposing figures locked eyes, and an uncomfortable silence hung in the air.

"What made you dash out so suddenly?" Sengoku was the first to break the tension. As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Magellan's awkwardly aerating lower half.

Magellan, his face flushed with embarrassment, quickly pulled up his pants, forcing a casual facade to hide his mortification. He claimed to have heard a ghost while inside.

'Did something happen inside?' Sengoku, however, had not noticed anything unusual during his patrol and was about to inquire further when a new development unfolded.

From the corner, Chief Guard Saldeath, the commander of the blue gorilla, rushed out, appearing anxious and eager to report something important.

"Warden Magellan, Admiral Sengoku, you—" Saldeath began but stopped abruptly, his eyes widening at the scene he had inadvertently walked into.

Magellan and Sengoku were left perplexed, trying to fathom what could have caught Saldeath's attention in such a peculiar manner.

'What did he see?' Magellan and Sengoku, two men just outside the bathroom door, and Magellan still has his pants down?!
