"Are you going to trample on my justice? Kuzan!"
Akainu and Aokiji competed against each other without giving in.
The scorching magma and the freezing frost constantly collided.
The surrounding space trembled violently, and the ground began to crack.
Carlos frowned. If this continued, a war was inevitable. These two Marine Admirals were terrifyingly powerful, and they were both Logia Devil Fruit users. With just a few movements of his hand, they could launch an attack like a natural disaster.
In the original plot, the two men fought for seven days and seven nights to compete for the position of Admiral. It permanently changed the climate and landscape of Punk Hazard, turning it into an "Island of Ice and Fire".
If these two were allowed to fight here, everyone present would be affected. He feared the whole Wano Country would be destroyed!
Kozuki Hiyori, Denjiro, Shutenmaru, and others were not only his companions who fought alongside him, but countless innocent civilians also lived in Wano Country. Now that they had finally brought down the Beasts Pirates, how could they bear to see their home destroyed?
Carlos stepped forward and looked directly at Akainu. "Don't you want to catch me? Fine, I'll go to Impel Down with you."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the whole audience focused instantly.
"Lord Carlos! No!" "Watching my benefactor being taken away... I will never accept this!" "Don't worry, you are the hero who saved Wano Country. We won't let them succeed!" "Isn't it just a fight? Are so many of us afraid of him?"
For a long time, Wano Country had been closed to the outside world, with simple folk customs and many warriors. Carlos slaying the dragon and tearing the sky apart was deeply imprinted in their hearts. Naturally, he had become the object of their pursuit and worship.
It would be an exaggeration to say that his status in their minds was comparable to that of gods. Now someone wanted to arrest him? How could the warriors endure this? For a moment, the crowd was excited and shouting, as if they were about to rush over to fight at any moment.
Fortunately, Denjiro and others stopped them, so no fight broke out.
Aokiji and Akainu didn't expect to receive such an answer. They froze in place for a moment.
After a while, Aokiji nodded, looking appreciatively at Carlos. "If you are willing to surrender, that would be great. Don't worry, unlike pirates, we are not an organization that abuses violence and lynches. Under our escort, you and Kaido will be safely sent to Impel Down to await the final trial in Enies Lobby."
As he spoke, he glanced at Akainu and said in a deep voice, "Sakazuki, what do you say?"
Akainu looked around, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slowly. "Boy, I advise you not to be happy too early. Impel Down is known as the pirate's grave. Once locked up there, you can only die slowly in pain and despair."
Faced with Akainu's threats, Carlos remained expressionless and even felt a little amused. There was a sudden tightness behind him. Carlos looked back.
Kozuki Hiyori stretched out her hand and held the corner of his clothes tightly, revealing unspeakable worry in her eyes. "Don't worry, they will let me go before long."
Akainu on the side crossed his arms and sneered disdainfully. Carlos ignored him and continued to talk to the girl. "Hiyori, remember what I said. Open up Wano Country and start trade with the outside world. Use the money to improve people's lives and gain their support. At the same time, build swordsmanship dojos and cultivate more strong men. Only in this way can the country be peaceful, the people be safe, and resist the invasion of foreign enemies. This is also the responsibility you shoulder as the Wano Country monarch."
The girl stared blankly at Carlos's leaving figure, tears welling up in her eyes unknowingly. The night when her father died in front of her and she ran for her life in despair. In order to avoid pursuit, she and Kawamatsu spent those miserable years hiding in various places.
The two met for the first time and chatted under the lights. Transforming into a warrior giant who stands tall and slays the dragon with one sword... Countless pictures flashed endlessly in her mind, and the throbbing deep in her heart was beyond words. She wiped the tears from her face and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Don't worry! I, I will definitely do it!"
Under the silent gaze of everyone in the audience, Carlos put on seastone shackles and, together with Kaido, was escorted to the warship by Akainu and Aokiji and put into a special cell.
"Ding! Host's faction (Beasts Pirates) has been completely destroyed." "Checking..." "Testing completed." "Host launched a rebellion, killed/captured all personnel, defeated the leader of the force, and handed them over to Marine, which is consistent with the behavior of the second and fifth generations. Final rating: S." "Strength rating: S." "The conditions for the reward for Er Wu Zai have been met!" "Overall rating: S." "Rewards are being distributed..." "Congratulations to Host for acquiring Kryptonian blood!" "Do you want to receive it?"
Receive!
The next moment, a majestic and vast power quietly burst out deep in the body, nourishing the limbs and bones. After the battle with Kaido, his tired and empty body immediately felt refreshed. Carlos couldn't help but sigh comfortably, silently feeling the changes in his body.
But in just a short moment, strength, speed, physical strength, recovery... every aspect of the body underwent earth-shaking changes.
I didn't expect that the system actually rewarded this: Kryptonian blood!
It's worthy of the effort he put in, it's so worth it! The Kryptonian also has another name: Superman. This classic superhero image is famous, and Carlos is no exception.
"Open the panel," Carlos thought silently in his mind.
[Ability]: Armament Haki (Excellent Level), Observation Haki (Excellent Level), Conqueror's Haki (Grandmaster Level), Swordsmanship (Master Level), Marine Six Styles (Control Level), Life Return (Proficient Level), Kryptonian Bloodline (Entry Level) [Skills]: Deep behind enemy lines, Shark Bullet Technique, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (Amaterasu, Susanoo), Noh Absorption [Identity]: World Government (CPO)
Although the Kryptonian bloodline is still in its infancy, it has given him a skill—energy absorption. His body can spontaneously absorb and store the light and radiation emitted by stars to strengthen itself and gradually unlock a series of Kryptonian abilities such as heat vision, super intelligence, super strength, and super vision. In other words, he can continue to become stronger without exercising or basking in the sun.
Although from the current point of view, it is not as good as the A+ level Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, it has unlimited potential!
"When the development of my bloodline increases, if I can grow to the level of a Silver Age Superman..."
Silver Age Superman, with just one breath, can create hurricanes, change the weather, and even blow out stars. The super sneeze is so powerful that it can destroy the entire solar system. Powerful enough to move multiple planets, it can even pull at least a dozen planets away from a black hole by relying on the power of the physical body. The speed is so fast that it exceeds the speed of light and can break the time barrier and travel to the past. If it can really reach that level in the future, it can be said to be completely out of the category of biology! You can totally call him God!
Thinking of this, Carlos couldn't help but feel fascinated. After the joy, Carlos couldn't help but smile bitterly. Beside him was Kaido, who was still in a coma. This guy truly deserved to be called the strongest creature. Not only did he not die after suffering such serious injuries, but the wounds on his body recovered quickly. At this rate, it probably wouldn't take a few days for him to wake up.
The Marines obviously attached great importance to this emperor of the sea. Kaido's neck, limbs, torso, and whole body were wrapped with countless seastone chains. Akainu also seemed to know a series of Carlos' previous deeds, so he treated them equally. He was wearing huge seastone shackles on his hands and feet, and several arm-thick chains tied him to the entire cell.
Carlos tried it silently. Although he has only an elementary superhuman bloodline, his strength is not what it used to be and has greatly improved. If coupled with Armament Haki's "internal destruction" skills, it is not difficult to break free. But this will inevitably cause a huge noise. It would be troublesome if Marine was attracted. Facing two Admirals, Akainu and Aokiji, and five Vice-Admirals at the same time was really not a wise choice. We could only wait for the World Government to receive the news and send people to Impel Down to rescue him.
It's useless to think too much. It's better to just wait and be content with what's coming. Carlos sighed, closed his eyes, and began to sleep. After two days of sailing, the warship passed through the Gate of Justice and was about to arrive at the Impel Down port.
The port of Impel Down was filled with jailers who came to greet him. Marine Admiral Akainu, Aokiji, and others arrived. Everyone present was in high spirits and provided the highest standard of reception.
Under the gaze of countless nervous eyes, the warship slowly docked and anchored. Akainu tossed his cloak and strode down the ladder on the side of the ship. Behind him were Aokiji, Ghost Spider, Dalmatian, and others.
A man wearing a pharaoh's headdress, looking like an evil ghost, with a big belly and a trident in his hand quickly walked forward. He bowed respectfully and said, "You must be Akainu, Admiral?"
"I am the Director of Impel Down, Hannyabal! I am here specifically to take charge of the handover."
Akainu frowned slightly when he heard this. "If I remember correctly, isn't the highest officer of Impel Down Magellan? Where are the others?"
Hannyabal laughed loudly and put his hands on his hips with a proud look on his face. "Director Magellan is unwell and cannot come to receive you for the time being. So it is up to me, Hannyabal, to perform the duties of director. Don't worry, everyone! I'm much more reliable than him. I can easily arrest these pirates!"
Akainu pointed to the warship. "Then do you know who they are? Kaido and Carlos."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into silence. The jailers all widened their eyes and looked in the direction of the warship in disbelief.
"Don't worry, we will accompany them this time until they are imprisoned in the cell," Hannyabal came to his senses and coughed twice.
"Well, before we go down, let's do some preparations."
"Arrange it as soon as possible."
The jailers took Kaido and Carlos for registration and baptism. The so-called baptism usually involves putting the prisoner into boiling water. At first, it was just to eliminate the bacteria and viruses that prisoners might carry. Later, it gradually evolved into a cruel punishment method. It is to give these unruly and evil-doing prisoners a deterrent. Of course, this is nothing to Kaido and Carlos. Instead of feeling any discomfort when the boiling water is poured on their bodies, it feels like taking a hot bath.
After completing a series of preparatory work, Hannyabal led everyone through the elevator directly to the fourth floor. As they walked, he introduced it proudly.
Impel Down, the world's first prison, is built in the deep sea of the Calm Belt and is surrounded by countless Sea Kings. Also known as the Pirate's Tomb. Powerful troops were deployed on each floor, and surveillance snails were placed in every corner. Plus, arm-thick seastone fences eliminate any hope of escape. Not to mention there is Magellan guarding this place. Once imprisoned here, it basically means the end of life.
The fourth floor has a ring-shaped structure in the middle, and there are cells distributed outside the corridor. In the middle is a boiling pool of blood and a sea of fire. The bubbles constantly exuded intense heat. In this harsh environment, the prisoners had completely lost their vitality. There was no reaction at all to the arrival of everyone. As if they were dead, their eyes were full of numbness and despair. They lay quietly on the ground, waiting for death.
Although this was not the first time I have come here, Akainu still looked at the miserable condition of the prisoners with interest. "Carlos, do you see that? This is what happens when you become a pirate."
Carlos paid no attention, as if he hadn't heard. Not seeing the expected reaction of the other party crying and begging for mercy, Akainu felt inexplicably unhappy.
"Humph, let's see how long you can keep pretending."
Everyone went down to the fifth floor of Freezing Hell. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped to dozens of degrees below zero. The weak candlelight that kept shaking reflected the numb faces.
"Help me!" "Please, let me out!" "I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again..."
There were waves of weak but shrill shouts from the prisoners.
Hannyabal turned around and introduced to everyone with a proud look on his face. "The prisoners on this floor are all pirates with bounties of over 100 million berries. No matter how powerful these guys are, no matter how tenacious and stubborn these guys are, in this Freezing Hell, which is colder than a large icehouse, it won't take long for them to freeze to death in despair!
"The criminals imprisoned on the sixth floor are even more terrifying. They are all legendary figures, and their fate is even more miserable!"
Akainu nodded slightly, acknowledging what the other party said. Then suddenly he said, "In this case, these two guys must be locked up on the sixth floor, right?" Although it was just a question, there was an unquestionable meaning in his tone.
Hannyabal said seriously, "Of course, one has a bounty of more than 4 billion berries, and the other has a bounty of 1.5 billion berries. They are very few on the sixth floor. To be honest, if it weren't for your company, I wouldn't have dared to escort these two guys..."
Everyone came to the sixth floor, Eternal Hell.
Crunch--
The sudden noise seemed to alarm the prisoners. In the darkness where you can't even see your hands, countless evil and cruel eyes were projected towards this side.
"Hannyabal, it's so rare that you actually have the courage to come here? Where is Magellan? Shitting again? Hahaha!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, so many Marine escorts here. Akainu, Aokiji, and so many familiar faces, these two newcomers look like they have a lot of background!"
Under the dim light, the prisoners kept looking at everyone.
"This guy being carried seems to be Kaido?" "Did this guy get arrested too? Marines, you did a good job!" "Who is the other guy? He looks a bit unfamiliar." "He looks quite handsome. Hey! Lock him up with me!"
The arrival of everyone made the sixth floor boil instantly. The prisoners' arrogant shouts and excited howls came from all directions. Perhaps only in this way could they bring a little bit of fun to this desperate life of darkness day after day.
