Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: A terrible misunderstanding

"The ghost did it," Lucas stated matter-of-factly.

Lucas' answer echoed faintly in the darkness of Eternal Hell.

"Ha ha ha! A ghost?!" "This guy is just hilarious, putting it all on a ghost." Hearing these words, the prisoners in Eternal Hell burst out laughing!

Jimbei couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle at the scene.

"I never expected for such a situation to happen here on the seabed of the world government's greatest and most notorious prison." Personally, this phrase is a joke. It's more like Lucas' mockery to Magellan, a ghost? This ain't a serious conversation at all, but a mockery!

But this word came out of Lucas's mouth and it has another meaning, because Lucas really is related to ghosts!

"Are you saying it was that toilet ghost girl!? " Magellan, regardless of what anyone else thought, was looking for her today and jumped in before he finished using the bathroom.

However, before Magellan could think for a second, Lucas's voice interrupted him. "No."

Lucas continued to finish peeling the orange in his hand, reached up, and tossed the pith of the orange peel into the trash can before eating the pulp. He got up to wash his hands and turned his head to look at Magellan.

"It's something else," says Lucas.

Hearing this sentence, all the surrounding voices stopped!

"OY?! What do you mean something else!" Sengoku's heart jumped. The toilet ghost girl and Sadako are already very difficult to deal with. Now another ghost appeared?

"What? Are you saying there is a new ghost?" Magellan frowned and immediately asked, "What the hell is it?"

Lucas did not raise his head when he heard the question, and as he washed his hands, he said: "I don't know, but it looks like a dancing clown."

"You don't know? If you don't know that ghost, why did the ghost not kill you…?" Hannyabal was interrupted by Magellan in the middle of speaking, not letting him continue.

"Let's leave," Magellan waved an irritated hand, turned, and left. Hearing Lucas 's words, Magellan also understood in his heart that there is no need to keep asking.

Sengoku looked deeply at Lucas, who was washing his hands, and left without saying anything anymore.

Everybody knows if Lucas didn't want to talk about this matter, they wouldn't get any results if they kept asking.

As for the interrogation room?

The corpse of the CP agents in the interrogation room is still laying there splattered in pieces!

Hannyabal lowered his head, his face full of aggrieved expressions. He really hated this feeling. He knew that the person in front of him knows something, but he couldn't keep asking.

"Hahahaha, Hannyabal, I just want to laugh when I look at your face."

"Hannyabal, what's wrong, go back and find your mother."

The prisoners around him ridiculed him mercilessly, and the laughter was so harsh that it pricked Hannyabal's ears and made him tremble with anger.

He seems unwilling.

Hannyabal couldn't help but look toward Lucas's cell.

Looking at him at a glance, Hannyabal almost exploded on the spot!

He saw that Lucas had finished washing his hands and walked behind a curtain, and then there was the sound of splashing water.

'Is he taking a bath!? Here in prison where prisoners don't even have access to toilets!?' Hannyabal felt like he was slapped so hard that even his mother never slapped him that hard!

'When would a prisoner get to live this life? People like Lucas should be locked up, punished, and tortured instead of enjoying themselves in prison!' thought Hannyabal with severe grievance.

"Warden Magellan, I found a den den mushi in the interrogation room, which may have recorded the whole incident!" At this time, an Impel Down guard rushed over, holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand, a clue to what happened!

"Quickly! We need to go somewhere safe and find out what's recorded." Magellan's eyes lit up, and he made a decisive decision!

Soon. Magellan and Sengoku, as well as Hannyabal and others, arrived in a secure room.

They all got together. Looking closely at the Den Den Mushi on the table.

*Krrrrrrrrrr…* The Den Den Mushi was turned on. Its head was sticking out of its shell; its eyes were shining, and the recorded images were being projected into the air.

At first, everything was normal. Lucas was taken to the interrogation room and sat on a chair. A CP0 devised the instrument of torture. And just at that moment when they are about to act on Lucas.

A clown with heavy makeup suddenly appeared, corrupting the image and only showing the clown's face with an eerily creepy smile! It tilted its head, an ever-smiling face, just silently smiling into the camera. At this time, there was no sound coming out of the video, even the CP0's original voice and Lucas' dialogue disappeared, leaving only the clown in front of the camera. It…. suddenly started laughing, an inexplicable horror rose from deep within everyone's hearts, unknowingly a layer of goosebumps appeared on everyone's arm.

Next moment *chichichi…* The video flickers.

The light from the Den Den Mushi's eyes grew dim, the snail retracted into its shell again, and the image disappeared.

After viewing the Den Den Mushi. Silence fell in the room. Sengoku's eyes flickered.

The previous ghost has not been solved yet, and now there is another ghost who they don't know the details of.

And the bloodthirsty level of this ghost is definitely more than that of the toilet ghost girl, which can be seen from the horror of the interrogation room!

"A Clown...a red nose...why does this guy look so familiar?"

On the other hand, Magellan fell into deep thought and suddenly mumbled such a sentence.

"Wait, Magellan, did you think of that too?" At this time Hannyabal suddenly exclaimed.

"What is it? What did you figure out?" Sengoku squinted.

"In Impel Down, there is a certain prisoner that matches the one in the video, and this prisoner looked like a clown with a big red nose." Magellan fully remembered that there was, in fact, a clown prisoner in Impel Down, and he was imprisoned on the first floor!

'Lucas didn't really lie. Isn't this ghost the clown prisoner locked away? They look so much alike!' Hannyabal hit his head, as if he suddenly had a massive realization.

'Yes, maybe it really is so. Very good. If I can successfully catch the ghost this time, I will have the highest credit. Magellan can abdicate the role of warden. And with this credit, I will surely manage to become the Warden!' Hannyabal thought to himself wryly, and when he thought of his 'witty' finding out the truth, and becoming 'naturally' the Warden, he was so excited that he was going to climax.

"The clown prisoner you speak of... what level is he on?" Sengoku suddenly asked.

He has no memory of any clown prisoner. As an Admiral, he has captured many pirates and seen many pirates. It's impossible for him to remember them all.

"First level" Hannyabal said, patting his chest.

The corners of Sengoku 's mouth twitched. 'Are you serious? Can first level prisoners kill a CP0 agent?'

Sengoku wanted to say something, but when he thought of Lucas, he'd rather keep his mouth shut. What if that prisoner….. Is another weirdo like Lucas?

"Come on, take me to see him, and I'll question him myself." Sengoku said, already getting to his feet.

'Whatever happens, it's not bad to go see for myself.'

Editor: Goddang long chapter... Lucas said clown, at this time, buggy should be in impel down….. Oooh boy what's gonna happen to poor buggy.

The friggin author made lucas peel an orange and throw the whole thing away, that is blasphemy! 

The friggin ChatGPT is glitching out on me again and ain't giving me quality, ugh!
