chapter 147 part 3
His words seemed to have a certain calming effect. The soldiers' expressions relaxed slightly, but their gazes remained firmly locked on Impel Down.
At this time, the sea breeze still blew gently, and the warship swayed slightly on the surface of the sea. This seemingly calm yet tense confrontation continued, and no one knew what would happen next.
Just then, the main gate of Impel Down, with a "creak"...
Opened!
Seeing the figure at the gate, Vice Admiral Maynard breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you, with Magellan guarding Impel Down, even if a riot breaks out, nothing will happen!"
At this time, Magellan walked towards the warship without a word. Soon, he arrived below Maynard's vessel.
"Hey, I need to go to the World Government for a meeting to report on the situation. Which warship can take me?"
Maynard raised both hands high, "Get on mine!"
A flicker of imperceptible triumph flashed in Magellan's eyes as he leaped lightly onto the warship!
In the dark entrance of Impel Down, Ivankov and Lightning poked their heads out.
Ivankov blinked. "Something's... something's not right! That fox, is she trying to escape by herself?"
Lightning nodded, "Sir, from the looks of it, that should be the case!"
"Sentimental boy was right! This fox really can't be trusted!"
"It's alright, she's already on the warship. We just need to shout, and she'll be exposed!"
With that, the prisoners hiding at the entrance no longer concealed themselves and rushed out instantly!
"Kill!"
Seeing so many prisoners storming out, Vice Admiral Maynard on the warship was immediately dumbfounded. He quickly shouted, "Open fire! Open fire!"
For a moment, gunshots rang out incessantly!
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Facing the bullets, the Okama King Emporio Ivankov leaped out from the ranks.
"Face Afterimage!"
Ivankov's figure split into several images, making it impossible to tell which was the real one.
Having moved a bit closer, she blinked rapidly in the direction of the warship!
"HELL WINK!"
A wave of air blasted towards the warship!
With a loud boom, the warship was rocked by a violent explosion. The Marines on board were all shaken, unable to even stand steady, let alone open fire.
And Lightning wasn't idle either, using his cutting ability to carve a long staircase out of the ground, leading directly up to the warship!
"Set... set sail!" Vice Admiral Maynard hurriedly shouted at the dazed Marine crewmen. The warship was just preparing to move...
In a daze, Vice Admiral Maynard saw "Magellan" standing off to the side, watching the battle as if it had nothing to do with him. He roared angrily, "Magellan! Why are you just watching these prisoners escape?! Please do your duty!"
"Ah~ Nuruhuhuhuhuhu!"
This Magellan's tongue danced about as he let out a strange laugh.
Vice Admiral Maynard froze, sensing that something was amiss.
He leaped forward and threw a punch!
As expected, "Magellan's" figure changed abruptly, turning into a female convict with a long, thin nose and an extremely ugly, foxy face.
"Catarina Devon?!"
Catarina Devon, known as the most vicious female convict in history, was the nightmare of many Marines.
And now, this person had actually appeared on a warship?
Then... what must the situation inside Impel Down be like?
Thinking of this, Vice Admiral Maynard roared in anger, "Quick, quick, quick! Notify the other warships to get away from Impel Down! Notify Marine Headquarters, Impel Down has fallen!"
"Ah~ Nuruhuhuhuhuhu!"
Catarina Devon drew the sword she had just stolen and slashed at Vice Admiral Maynard, her tongue dancing in the air, emitting a foul stench. "Die obediently. I will return to this sea!"
"In your dreams! We will never let you pirates act so presumptuously!"
With Vice Admiral Maynard's orders, the other fifteen warships surrounding Impel Down also began to sail away.
In this windless Calm Belt, the warships, possessing windless propulsion, were the prisoners' last hope for escape.
Watching the ships pull away one by one, among the prisoners, a man with a scruffy beard and explosive hair picked his nose and shouted, "Swell!"
His voice also attracted the attention of some Marines and convicts. When they saw his face, someone exclaimed in surprise, "The Paramecia-type Swell-Swell Devil Fruit user! Sanjuan Wolf!"
Sanjuan Wolf's body gradually grew larger as he activated his ability until, in the end, his size actually surpassed that of a warship!
This! This was much larger than the world's largest giant!
Seeing the monstrous Sanjuan Wolf, the Marines all fell back in fear.
But Sanjuan Wolf stretched out his giant hands and, with a gentle pull, yanked back two warships that had already left the port!
A scene like this reignited the convicts' fighting spirit. They all stepped onto the stairs created by Lightning and leaped towards the warships!
As the convicts and Marines clashed head-on, all sorts of Devil Fruit abilities appeared on the battlefield.
There was the Guzzle-Guzzle Devil Fruit user, Vasco Shot, flying on wine bubbles and attacking the Marines with flames.
There was the Island-Island Devil Fruit user, Avalo Pizarro, who assimilated his body with the Impel Down port and also grabbed a warship with a giant hand.
The Marines had once used immense effort to capture them. Now, with their combined strength, they were far from what these Marines could easily stop.
At this moment, the Okama King Emporio Ivankov had already reached a warship. Beside him, the Revolutionary Army officer Lightning, as well as several Newkama newcomers, were also looking towards the main gate of Impel Down.
Ivankov waited for a moment, then suddenly leaped down.
Lightning shouted, but without hesitation, also jumped down.
The Okamas on the warship collectively shouted, "King! Lightning! Where... where are you two going?!"
Ivankov turned back and winked at the crowd of Okamas. "I must bring the sentimental boy out! You all go on ahead!"
"No! We will follow our king!"
The Okamas also jumped off the warship one after another.
This scene was starkly different from those great pirates who stepped on their comrades' shoulders and used fellow prisoners as shields...
Just as Ivankov ran back towards the main gate of Impel Down, a figure flashed through the dark corridor!
It was...
With feathery kagune spread wide, carrying a poisoned Red Earl, the flying—Venom Ren Arakawa!
