For these pirates, death wasn't really that scary. After all, most people who embarked on the path of piracy no longer saw life and death as so important. So, the Navy used the prison to trap them, restricting their freedom. For pirates who had lost their freedom, it was sometimes more painful than death.
Another very important reason was that these pirates basically had countless riches, which even the Navy coveted. So, locking them up here was both to torture them and for their treasure. Of course, there were also many pirates in Impel Down who were greedy for life and afraid of death, using their wealth to redeem their lives. After all, in their view, it was better to live badly than to die well.
Adding up all the reasons, not to mention Hannyabal, even Magellan didn't have the right to arbitrarily execute prisoners, let alone these great pirates in Infinite Hell. So, these prisoners didn't take Hannyabal seriously at all.
Hannyabal's face turned livid with anger. He wanted to get angry, but he didn't know who to get angry at.
"Enough, all of you shut up. I have something to ask Hannyabal."
Just then, that voice from before rang out again, the tone was very indifferent. Although it didn't silence Infinite Hell, it was much better than before. But there were also a few people who snorted unhappily.
"Hmph, 'Death God' kid, what right do you have to order us? Do you think you're powerful just because your bounty is higher than ours? Don't forget, we're all the same now. You're not qualified to order me around."
"That's right, I think the one who should shut up is you."
"Hahaha, the younger generation these days really don't know how to respect their elders anymore. If I wasn't locked up here, my bounty would have been over a billion Berries long ago. Would it be your turn to be arrogant, kid?"
"..."
"Death God?"
The curses of Infinite Hell revealed the identity of the speaker. Immediately, the faces of two people in Infinite Hell changed. One was Ace, who had just been locked up, and the other was the former Shichibukai Crocodile, who had been locked up a few days earlier than Ace.
In a cell near the entrance, Crocodile suddenly stood up. His hands and feet were shackled, and he walked to the front of the cell, looking towards the depths of the prison.
"Newgate D. Akira Stone, the Whitebeard Pirates' most outstanding pirate, I didn't expect him to be locked up here."
Crocodile was very shocked in his heart. He had had two encounters with Akira, and he was deeply impressed by Akira. He just didn't expect that a figure like Akira 0.6 would also be locked up here, and it seemed that he had been locked up for a long time.
Ace was also very shocked. He thought in his heart, "'Death God', this is the man that Marco was talking about. He really is locked up here?"
"I'm not qualified? If that's what you think, then you're wrong. I'm different from you."
The faint voice rang out in Infinite Hell. When the last word was finished, the prisoners of Infinite Hell suddenly felt an astonishing aura erupt, instantly sweeping through the entire Infinite Hell. Those prisoners who had just been mocking fell down one after another, making 'bang bang bang' sounds. At the same time, the entire Infinite Hell instantly became silent, a deathly silence, so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.
"Co, Co, Conqueror's, Conqueror's Haki!"
Someone stammered in shock, and then everyone shouted in horror.
"How is that possible? How can he still use Conqueror's Haki?"
The prisoners in Infinite Hell were shocked that Akira could use such powerful Conqueror's Haki. Although Seastone handcuffs didn't suppress Haki, with both hands and feet shackled, they couldn't exert much strength at all, not to mention Akira, whose body had been pierced and all the important joints of his body had been sealed. It was already very terrifying that he could still be alive, let alone use Haki.
Haki was also a kind of power. Seastone handcuffs were extremely strong, and after being shackled, their power would be restricted. Moreover, Seastone was as hard as diamond, so it was already very difficult to break open, let alone after being shackled. Perhaps some people could use strength to split Seastone, but there weren't many people who could destroy Seastone while being shackled.
Like Akira, whose entire body's joints were shackled and whose collarbones had been pierced, he couldn't even use half of his strength. And the use of Haki required strength. If a person was weak to a certain extent, they couldn't even think about using Haki. This was also the biggest reason why Impel Down didn't give the prisoners enough to eat, because they couldn't allow the prisoners to maintain their stamina.
And Conqueror's Haki was even more difficult. It was a kind of spirit. Where did a person who was weak and had no strength get the spirit from? Not to mention Akira, who had been locked up here for ten years, even Ace, who had just been locked up, had only been weak for a few days, but if he were to use Conqueror's Haki now, he definitely couldn't use it.
But Akira had been locked up for ten years, and at this moment he used Conqueror's Haki, instantly knocking out the people who had just been cursing. How could it not shock everyone? They really couldn't imagine where Akira got the strength to do this.
Having been locked up for ten years and unable to do any physical exercise, Akira had put all his energy into mental training. Therefore, he had now reached a superb level in the use of Conqueror's Haki. He was confident that even the most domineering man on the sea, Red Hair Shanks, his Conqueror's Haki would definitely not be inferior in front of him.
After using Haki to shock everyone, Akira then spoke to Hannyabal, "Hannyabal, come here."
Hannyabal had a fear of Akira to begin with, because he had been present when Akira caused the Infinite Hell riot back then. Because he couldn't kill Akira, the chaos lasted for a long time. This long period of time had long caused him to have a fear of Akira. In addition, Akira had now used Conqueror's Haki, so he didn't dare to refuse even more.
Hannyabal took steps and quickly walked to the front of Akira's cell. Because Akira's cell was at the very back, the cell was pitch black. Hannyabal leaned in close, but he could only barely see Akira's figure. However, he could see those eyes very clearly.
They were dark and bright, as if they were going to absorb people's souls. Hannyabal only glanced at them and didn't dare to stare at Akira's eyes anymore. He asked nervously, "Hey, Death God, what do you want?"
Akira asked, "Who did you just bring in?"
Because he was locked in the cell and couldn't move, he only knew that Hannyabal had brought someone in, but he couldn't see who it was. However, Crocodile had only been locked up not long ago, so he thought that the person who was locked up this time was very likely to be Ace.
Hannyabal replied, "It's 'Fire Fist' Ace. He's also a pirate from your Whitebeard Pirates."
"'Fire Fist' Ace, so it was you. Have you finally come?"
Hearing that the person who was locked up was Ace, Akira immediately became excited. He had been locked up here for ten years, and it was because of the plot of the original story that he had never given up hope. He had waited for ten years, and finally waited for this moment. He knew that the time for him to get out was not far away.
"Alright, that's none of your business. You can leave." Akira said to Hannyabal.
Hannyabal immediately felt relieved. Akira's power was too strong. He didn't want to face him for even a second. He immediately quickened his pace and quickly left with the other jailers.
After Hannyabal left, Akira suddenly shouted, "'Fire Fist' Ace!"
Ace, who was in his cell, was stunned when he heard someone call his name. However, he quickly recognized who this voice belonged to, so he asked with some excitement, "Death God?"
Akira was also very excited in his heart, and he asked with a nervous tone, "I know you joined our Whitebeard Pirates. Tell me, is Pops doing well lately?"
As soon as he heard Akira ask about Whitebeard, Ace was even more certain of Akira's identity. He quickly replied, "Pops' body has some old injuries that have relapsed, but his spirit is still very good. Death God, I know you. Marco and the others often mention you. Although Pops has never talked about you, everyone knows that he misses you the most."
Hearing these words, Akira's heart was very sad. If there was anyone in this world that he was most sorry to, then it would definitely be Whitebeard. Whitebeard treated him like his own son, but he had never been filial to Whitebeard, and instead had Whitebeard constantly worry about him.
"That's good, that's good. I'm sorry to Pops. I haven't been filial to him for more than ten years. If it weren't for this damned Navy, how could I have ended up like this?"
As he said this, Akira roared angrily. As he roared, an astonishing aura erupted from his body, and many of the weak prisoners around him were trembling under Akira's Haki.
Akira's heart was indeed full of hatred for the Navy. Ten years, he had been locked up here for ten years. How many decades did a person have in their life, and it was still the most important decade of his life? Ten years had been wasted in this dark Infinite Hell. Although he hypnotized himself every day, the hatred in his heart was growing stronger and stronger. He had been waiting for a chance to erupt, and now that chance was finally coming.
"Ace."
Akira said to Ace, "How did you get captured?" Although he knew that Ace was captured by Blackbeard in the original story, who knew if things would change, so he asked this question.
