Magellan's feet left the ground, his body wrapped in red poison floated upwards, gradually approaching Sage. At the same time, the red poison expanded around, sealing off Sage's escape route.
The poison dripped onto the ground, emitting corrosive smoke, leaving pits on the surface.
This is just poison...
But a poison capable of corroding materials is by no means ordinary.
"No one can escape from my grasp!"
On the seas, of course, there are those who can evade his attacks.
But in the confines of Impel Down, no one can escape!
Watching the approaching red poison, Sage smiled, raising his fist, "I never intended to run away..."
This fierce poison is absolutely untouchable.
Even the ground can't be touched, not only is it corrosive, but also possesses a powerful infectious nature.
However...
Avoiding contact is the key!
Sizzling!
All of his Haki concentrated on his fist, releasing two arcs of black lightning.
"The ultimate in Haki!"
Magellan's expression turned grim as he sped up, extending one hand forward, causing the red giant to extend its poison-filled hand straight towards Sage.
Even with the ultimate in Haki, as long as you're touched, you'll still be poisoned.
Haki cannot transform the body!
Bang!!
Just as the giant poison hand pressed downward, a massive impact surged through, blowing the poison back, along with the red giant, scattering them into masses of red poison, splashing backwards.
Did that guy throw a punch?!
But Magellan quickly realized, urged the fierce poison rising from within himself, forming a giant hand, catching the scattered poison and reintegrating it.
Behind him lay his subordinate!
If they were touched by this fierce poison, they wouldn't even have the chance to use an antidote. He couldn't let the poison drop!
"You dare to be distracted while dealing with me?"
But just as he caught the poison, Sage's voice echoed in his ear.
"Hundred Times Speed·Galaxy Impact!"
Boom!!
Magellan didn't even see a trace of him, and the poison that had barely covered him, not even forming a giant, was shattered by the impact, which then viciously struck his face.
Crash!
The ground beneath his feet shattered at that moment, sending Magellan's massive body crashing into the fractured pit.
It seemed as though the ground was about to be breached.
It was then that Sage's figure appeared.
"Absolute speed is absolute strength, Magellan, you can't even touch me, haha!"
Sage's foot lightly tapped, releasing a smoky ring, bouncing into the air and laughing loudly into the abyss-like pit below.
Poison?
Avoiding it is all that's needed!
The red poison, merely in liquid form, could be knocked away. No matter how harmful to the body, it couldn't infect the will. Using the Haki-generated impact, the first punch blew away the poison giant.
And the second punch could directly attack.
His ability speed couldn't match Sage's Hundred Times Speed.
Even compared to the force brought by that speed, the current Haki strength served more as a layer of protection, preventing him from using excessive force and causing side effects.
"Poisonous Infection!"
From within the pit echoed Magellan's deep voice, and from within it surged a torrent of red poison, flooding like seawater, quickly staining half the ground crimson.
The red first covered the two entrances to the fourth layer, and from the red tide extending from within the pit, a blood-covered face appeared.
"I told you, you can't leave, Sage!!"
"Galaxy Impact!"
Boom!
A massive impact descended from Sage's near-invisible punch, slamming Magellan back down as he appeared at the pit's entrance.
"How many punches can you block from me?!"
Sage's gaze turned fierce, and within a single breath, a Haki shockwave again blasted into the pit.
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
The booming continued, and the pit widened with each punch, shaking fragments off the edges.
Yet within this bottomless abyss, a hint of red was still visible, the surrounding air gradually changing, becoming more oppressive.
Boom!!
After swinging yet another punch, Sage's expression darkened, his body emitting wisps of white smoke, with traces of red gas appearing.
The speed of his punches... slowed.
And the red within the pit remained unceasing; no matter how many attacks, the rising poison was still visible, climbing even faster than before.
Under the toxic gas emitted by this fierce poison, even Sage found himself struggling.
If this drags on, he might really get poisoned.
"Consider yourself tough!"
He spat harshly, then looked towards the two entrances already shrouded in red, his mouth curling into a smile, "You think this can trap me?"
The aura wrapped around his body once more, and Sage's foot tapped downward, creating a smoky ring, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Boom!!
The ceiling blasted open!
Chunks of the massive rock layer collapsed, and within the incredibly thick rock layer, a figure like Flowing Fire burst through the divide between the third and fourth layers, rising from this inferno-like place up to what seemed like a desert-like third layer.
Of course, there was no desert in the prison. It was the ashes of prisoners who had perished on the third layer that gathered and weathered into this desert-like landscape.
