Chapter 299: Releasing All the Great Pirates
After thinking it over, he ultimately dismissed the idea.
He wanted the seas to grow even more chaotic and buy himself a bit more preparation time.
Right now, there weren't many truly powerful pirates left on the seas—aside from Whitebeard and the others.
"Alright."
Jiang Qize nodded with a smile.
Then he walked toward the cell of the Lonely Red.
Clang!
The Seastone lock was crushed.
He stepped inside.
Now he truly examined this man who once stood shoulder to shoulder with Gol D. Roger.
The Lonely Red was also studying him, a trace of surprise in his eyes—surprised at Jiang Qize's age. He knew the other party was very young.
To possess such strength at such a young age—that was what truly shocked him.
Jiang Qize smiled and suddenly reached out, grabbing toward his neck.
The Lonely Red's pupils contracted, but he did not dodge.
Clang!
The Seastone around his neck shattered.
Clang! Clang!
The Seastone shackles on his hands and feet broke apart as well.
The Marines were extremely wary of his strength, so they had added extra restraints.
The Lonely Red narrowed his eyes.
"Thank you," he said in a deep voice.
"You owe me one."
Jiang Qize smiled at him and walked out.
"Mm."
Redfield nodded. Though arrogant, he was still a man of his word.
"Kid, I'll also agree to do one thing for you."
Another voice rang out.
Jiang Qize looked over.
"He's a member of the Roger Pirates—Douglas Bullet. His strength isn't bad," the Lonely Red said.
"Oh? So it's him."
A glint flashed in Jiang Qize's eyes.
Of course he knew this man—the user of the Clank-Clank Fruit. In the movie from his previous life, he had been a super final boss, nearly crushing Luffy and the others. His Armament Haki and Devil Fruit abilities were both top-tier.
Jiang Qize smiled.
He walked over and unlocked Bullet's restraints.
"Finally got this damned thing off!"
Bullet's crimson eyes lit up. He twisted his neck, producing cracking sounds, then slowly stood.
His towering body radiated a terrifying aura, like a demon descending upon the world.
"Thanks, kid."
He stared at Jiang Qize with those scarlet eyes and spoke hoarsely.
"Just remember what you promised."
Jiang Qize smiled.
He wasn't worried about them going back on their word.
"One thing."
Bullet nodded.
"I can also agree to do one thing for you."
"Same here."
Two more voices sounded.
"These two are also famous pirates of the seas. One is Sanjuan Wolf, the user of the Huge-Huge Fruit. Originally a giant himself, once he uses his ability, he can grow even larger than an island—hence the name 'Colossal Battleship.'"
"The other is Byrnndi World, the user of the More-More Fruit. He can amplify his own speed—or even the size and speed of objects he touches—by 1 to 100 times."
Bullet explained.
Jiang Qize nodded. All were renowned great pirates, each slightly stronger than Marco as he was now.
Of course… none could compare to Whitebeard.
Still, their Devil Fruits were quite impressive.
Since he had already released all the pirates in Impel Down, releasing these two more made little difference.
One by one, the infamous great pirates were freed by his hand.
Meanwhile, on Crocodile's side, he had already drained the pirate who had provoked him dry with sand—reduced to skin and bones, not a drop of moisture left.
"Let's go. Time to have some fun with the Marines."
Jiang Qize walked to his side and smiled.
"Mm."
Crocodile somehow produced a cigar from nowhere and lit it, his demeanor perfectly composed.
