NOVEL SIMPLE
Chapter 545: Mission Accomplished
Chopper and Nami had already discovered the situation here and hurried over, anxiously checking Zoro’s injuries.
“Give him some medicine!” Ian said to Chopper, “With a little medicine, he’ll recover faster.”
Chopper nodded and quickly took out medicine from his backpack, starting to prepare it.
Seeing Ian about to leave, Nami couldn’t help but ask, “Ian, what are you going to do?”
“Shiryu is already dead, so the remaining people must be dealt with quickly!” Ian replied.
“That’s great, this prison is really oppressive!” Nami sighed with relief, patting her chest.
Ian smiled and winked at her, “Thank you for your hard work, Nami! Oh, wait, Your Majesty!”
Nami couldn’t help but grin at his words, remembering what identity she had followed Ian in with.
Ian walked towards the fighting crowd, then unleashed a spear of lightning, piercing through a sixth-floor prisoner who was resisting. The powerful electric current instantly spread through his body, knocking him down directly. Then the prisoners from the first to the fourth floor who were fighting him immediately rushed over, mercilessly attacking with their weapons, thoroughly killing the prisoner.
Ian didn’t even glance at the bloody scene, continuing to move forward and then striking another prisoner.
Crocodile saw Ian clearing the field and immediately realized it was time to end it. His opponent, the Heavy Drinker, Vasco Shot, had caused him quite a bit of trouble, but Crocodile knew there was still a way to deal with him if he truly wanted him dead.
As Crocodile’s hand pressed against the ground, the ground beneath Shot’s feet suddenly exploded into countless sand grains!
Under Shot’s feet, Crocodile created a quicksand ring, and then Shot’s whole body sank into it. This move was extremely deadly for someone of his massive size, especially without the ability to fly; basically, once you were trapped, you couldn’t climb out!
The intoxicated expression on Shot’s face vanished, replaced by sheer panic. He desperately tried to climb out of the sandpit, but instead, he sank deeper and deeper, while the quicksand, under Crocodile’s control, slowly converged and gradually engulfed Shot.
“When we were in the prison cell, I didn’t like you!” Crocodile stood at the edge of the sandpit, chin up, addressing Shot, “Daring to mock me, thinking you can babble just because you’re drunk…!”
“I’m sorry, I was wrong!” Shot panicked, desperately climbing and pleading with Crocodile, “Please, spare me!”
However, Crocodile didn’t say a word, just looked at him until he was completely submerged.
Ian had arrived by his side by now, saying, “Easy there, Old Sandbag, this is the sea; be careful not to accidentally pierce the bottom of the prison…”
“I won’t!” Crocodile replied, “I’m careful!”
With that, they both looked towards Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea.
The Colossal Battleship, Sanjuan Wolf, was definitely an anomaly even among giants. Even Ian wasn’t sure what race he belonged to. If he had followed Teach, Blackbeard, out of Impel Down as the story originally dictated, he might have become a terrifying figure like the Demon giant Oz. He possessed unparalleled gigantic size and incomparable strength.
However, it was unfortunate that he happened to encounter Jinbe in this prison…
Jinbe was a Fish-Man, and not just any Fish-Man, but a Whale Shark Fish-Man. The strength of Fish-Men was naturally ten times that of humans, and Jinbe’s strength was even greater than that of ordinary Fish-Men.
Although they were currently on land, Jinbe could still unleash formidable combat power. His Fish-Man Karate was already at its pinnacle. Despite Sanjuan’s thick skin and bulk, in front of Jinbe, it was more like a punching bag.
And due to his much smaller size compared to Sanjuan, Jinbe appeared quite agile in facing Sanjuan’s counterattacks.
You could say that a behemoth like Sanjuan was best suited for destruction, breaking buildings, ships, even islands. In these aspects, no one could match him. But at the same time, he struggled considerably in single-combat situations.
He even considered just destroying Impel Down altogether because even if the prison was destroyed, he could still rise from the seabed. But Jinbe wouldn’t allow him to do so. Every time he showed such destructive intentions, Jinbe ruthlessly suppressed them.
Jinbe focused his attacks on Sanjuan’s lower body. People generally needed support from their legs to exert their maximum strength, and Sanjuan was no exception. So Jinbe had no intention of allowing him to stand on his feet.
By the time Ian and Crocodile looked over, Jinbe had already shattered Sanjuan’s knees with several consecutive roundhouse kicks…
Sanjuan’s enormous coconut-like head couldn’t support itself and toppled towards the ground. At that moment, Jinbe raised a single palm in front of him, with his right fist at his waist, then suddenly thrust his palm towards the falling Sanjuan’s head.
“Fish-Man Karate Secret Technique – Buraikan! Reliant Piercing!”
At the moment when Jinbe’s palm struck Sanjuan’s chin, a strong shockwave reverberated through the air. Ian saw a powerful aura passing through Sanjuan’s head…
Blood uncontrollably flowed from Sanjuan’s nostrils, and his entire body suddenly became limp. Jinbe was holding up his enormous head with just one palm.
“Is he dead?” Crocodile couldn’t help but ask.
“No!” Jinbe replied, “I didn’t kill him, but I believe he’ll remain in a state of dementia for a long time…”
“Ian, my friend!” Jinbe looked at Ian after speaking, “Although I don’t know why you wanted to kill these sixth-floor prisoners, I assume it’s just to prevent them from disrupting your plans. I think I’ve done enough by now, haven’t I?”
Ian nodded; indeed, it was enough.
Crocodile was somewhat surprised. In his impression, Fish-Men were cruel and bloodthirsty, with a fierce temper. But Jinbe, in front of him, seemed unwilling to kill, which was quite strange.
Jinbe also ended the battle. It seemed like a signal, as one after another, the others also stopped fighting.
Urouge and Law, who were fighting against Catarina, finally exposed a flaw in her defenses under Urouge’s successive attacks with his Devil Fruit ability. Seizing the opportunity, Law pierced Katarina from behind with this long sword, stabbing her heart out of her chest! The heart, enveloped in an unknown substance and shaped like a cube, was still beating after leaving Catarina’s body. Because of this, Katarina hesitated for a moment, missing the chance to reclaim her heart.
Bepo, a member of the Red-Haired Pirates and the slave saved by Law on Sabaody Archipelago, leaped forward, caught the heart, and then pulled out a small knife, stabbing it.
Katarina let out a scream, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and collapsed with a crash…
Also, Pizarro, the Corrupt King who was besieged by Luffy and Buggy, was now lying defeated on the ground. He was struck down by a special Buggy Ball that Buggy shot from under his feet, exploding in his mouth. After falling, he couldn’t get up again. Mr. 3 used his wax to completely stick him to the ground, while Alvida and Cabaji beat him severely with their clubs, leaving him barely breathing.
Finally, Ian walked over and ended him with a single slash from his Demonic Inferno Sword.
With this, none of the prisoners detained in the Infinite Hell of the sixth level were alive anymore. Among the super-criminals who would have become companions of Blackbeard Teach according to the original story, only Sanjuan was left, and he had been rendered mentally incapacitated by Jinbe’s palm strike, posing no further threat…
At this moment, Ian’s two objectives for coming to Impel Down had been completely achieved. All that remained was to leave this place…
However, at that moment, a series of buzzing sounds came, which were the prisoners snatching Den Den Mushi for communication from the guards.
The prisoner responsible for safeguarding the Den Den Mushi hurried over, holding it out to Ian with both hands. “Boss, it should be our brothers from the upper levels!” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Ian picked it up, and indeed, there was a panicked voice on the other end. “Boss Ian… Captain… It’s bad! Our defenders have been driven down, and the Navy’s reinforcement troops have arrived. They’ve already taken control of the fourth level of the prison. It seems they want to ambush us there…”
