"Ah~"

"Help me!"

"Anyone?!"

"Come and save me!"

...

The mournful wail continued to enter the [first floor of the sea] in the Advance City from the underground world.

The bird poked its head out of the railing and looked down at the prison below, shaking its head constantly.

The atmosphere in the city was so bad that the jailers who lived here could hear these terrible wails every day, and it was no wonder that they always felt that something was wrong with their psychology.

Little Satie, Hiryu...

The so-called hell is nothing more than this atmosphere.

Thinking of this, he withdrew his head from the railing, took a cigar from his pocket, turned his head to look at Hannibal, who was standing nearby, and spoke.

"Warden Hannibal, the soundproofing of your advance city doesn't seem to be very good.

We are now standing on the first floor of the sea, and we can even hear the movement below. ”

"Sa!"

Hannibal waved his hand at the bird and spoke.

"Recently, the occupancy rate of the city has been a bit high, and it is very close to the basement level.

The criminals who can live in the basement are all small criminals, and those who can't stand the torture are the loudest they scream. ”

With that, he gestured to the group of jailers next to him, then turned to face Asuka and spread his arms in a smug expression.

"My bosom friend, welcome to my Advance City, I will take you to the sixth basement level in a moment, and then we will go to my office together, drink a few cups of tea, and receive my warm hospitality."

"Shh

At this time, Asuka made a silent gesture to the other party, and then he pointed to the phone bug on the wall and whispered.

"Warden Hannibal, I remember that your city was full of phone bugs, right?

Is it really okay for you to be exposed like this? ”

"Ah~"

Hannibal's gaze followed his finger to the wall, and then he saw the eye of the phone bug, which happened to be shifted here as well.

Magellan, that bastard, did he come out of the toilet?

Thinking that his ambitions might be exposed to Magellan again, he immediately dragged the bird to a blind spot.

"Whew!"

Hannibal let out a long sigh of relief as he saw that no one was paying attention to him, and then he patted Asuka on the shoulder and told him some of the secrets of his advance into the city.

"There are not only all kinds of cells and torture chambers for prisoners.

There are also surveillance phone bugs scattered throughout the city, which are located in specific locations here.

Whatever the offender or jailer does, they are sent to a larger surveillance phone bug that transmits video to the monitors connected to it, allowing the guards to keep an eye on them.

】

Each smaller phone bug has an alarm buzzer wired to the enclosure.

Now Magellan's belly runner is likely to come out of the toilet and hide behind a huge surveillance phone bug to secretly watch us. ”

After listening to Hannibal's explanation, Asuka raised his head and looked around at the phone bugs, and said to himself.

"It looks like the defense is pretty tight, but there are a lot of holes in it.

Hancock's petrification, Blackbeard's darkness... Even Bucky the Clown..."

The thought of Bucky, who had escaped from prison alone, reminded Asuka of another man.

Thinking of this, he asked in a low voice, bending his palm to his mouth.

"Isn't there a phone bug on the sixth basement floor??"

"Nope!"

Hannibal shook his head and explained.

"The people detained there are all amazing people, and many of them have a domineering spirit.

The monitoring phone bug can't withstand the impact of domineering.

Usually there are stronger jailer patrols.

If they find any special circumstances, they will directly press the alarm and wait for support. ”

"Oh, no wonder the golden lion ran out of the sixth basement floor back then."

Hearing Asuka mention the golden lion, the corners of Hannibal's mouth twitched twice, and he didn't think about it and said directly.

"Twenty-two years ago, I had already come to work in Advance City, and I even witnessed how the Golden Lion escaped from the Great Undersea Prison.

His escape had nothing to do with the surveillance phone bugs, not even with the patrol officers.

It was purely the previous warden of the Advance City, and he didn't stop the other party.

After defeating the warden of Advance City, the Golden Lion Shiji kicked open the gate of Advance City and left here with a swagger.

The myth of the "iron wall" of the city was shattered. ”

Speaking of this, he thought of the current director Magellan again, and suddenly said a little angrily.

"That belly runner, he only works four hours a day, and the rest of the time is either in the toilet or on the way to the toilet, every time I encounter any emergency in the city, I am the first to arrive first.

He's so slack, my pushing..."

Seeing that Hannibal was about to reveal his ambitions again, Asuka quickly covered his mouth and looked at this guy speechlessly.

Let's be honest.

If he had a man who was thinking about his place every day, and whispering in his ear from time to time that he was going to replace his subordinates, he felt that his blood pressure was going to go up exponentially every day.

From this point of view, Magellan is not only in strength, but also in his heart.

What a big heart!

Da! Da! Da!

At this moment, the small talk between the two was interrupted by the sound of footsteps in the distance, and they turned to look at the other side of the corridor, and saw a jailer hurrying over.

When the jailer came near, he saluted Hannibal.

"Report to Deputy Warden Hannibal, the former king's Seven Martial Seas, Klok Kodar, is about to complete his baptism."

Waving at the jailer, Hannibal turned his head to look at the bird, a crescent-like smile on his lips.

"Let's go and see the baptismal Klockdahl."

"Hmm!"

Asuka nodded, and followed Hannibal back to the place he had been.

...

When the two of them arrived at Klockdahl, Asuka saw a group of jailers skilfully scooping him out of a cauldron filled with boiling water.

"Shhh

Looking at Klockdahl, who was constantly emitting white steam from all over his body, but without the slightest scar, Asuka directly inhaled the cold wind that was advancing into the city.

This legend propels the city into a baptism of boiling water at 100°???

How to see... It's like bathing someone.

It's like a joke.

Seeing that Klockdahl still had a disdainful expression on his face, Asuka was extremely tired of it.

He reached out and patted Hannibal on the shoulder, suggesting.

"Warden Hannibal, I have a suggestion.

It's the "baptism" of your city, can you not treat everyone equally, I feel that you can distinguish between the strong and the weak.

The strong should soak in magma...

If you can't find lava, you can borrow some from the Navy Headquarters.

I'm sure Admiral Akainu won't refuse your request to soak the criminals in "magma". ”

"Huh??"

At this time, Hannibal blinked his small eyes, glanced at the so-called "strong man" Klockdahl in some confusion, and said subconsciously.

"In the world, except for the Four Emperors Kaido, there should be no one who will not die if they soak in magma, right??"

Katsa! Katsa! Katsa!

At that moment, Asuka and Hannibal suddenly felt a flash of camera bugs flash in their eyes, and then they heard the roar of Klockdahl coming from not far away.

"What do you want to do, you bastards?"

Klockdahl looked angrily at the jailers surrounding him.

It's not what he thought.

I've heard of the baptism of the city, isn't it boiling water at 100°?

But this wash after boiling water ... Photograph...

And this link??

The jailers around looked at the somewhat angry Klockdal, and one of them explained it to him.

"Stop yelling, Klockdahl.

You used to be the Seven Martial Seas, don't you know how many criminals you sent to the Great Prison under the Sea?

Every criminal who enters the Advance City has some secrets in their hearts.

Now those people see that you, the enemy, have come in, and they see that they have no hope of going out.

You said... Can we exchange "these things" for the secrets of their hearts? ”

With that, he shook the photo in his hand at Klockdal.

"That's it!"

At this point, Hannibal stepped forward and stopped the jailers from continuing.

The city is not just a place for criminals, it also has a function.

Torture!

Torture criminals about their inner secrets.

Hannibal reached out and commanded.

"Put on his prison uniform and ask the running belly man... Yes... Wrong... Report to Warden Magellan that we are going to infinite hell. ”

As he spoke, he turned to face Asuka and said with a serious expression.

"Major Admiral Asuka, the next thing you will meet is the monsters that have been erased from history because they are too vicious.

Some of the more brutal incidents they committed were covered up by the government, even in the newspapers.

The prisoners were all near-legendary figures, and their ends were either death sentences or life imprisonment.

But..."

Hannibal changed his style and grinned.

"They are now being held in my city."

Syllable!

Asuka slapped his palm on his forehead.

If he had such a subordinate, he would have gone to the Warring States long ago.

No one nagged in the ears of the Warring States every day about his position as a marshal, and the Marshal of the Warring States was too slack.

I heard that now I'm starting to eat doughnuts compared to Karp again.

...

Crash! Crash!

There was a rattle of chains.

The group walked up the stairs towards the underground prison.

"Warden, Magellan, is now in the warden's room on the fourth basement floor, and my office is right next to him, near the passage on the fifth floor.

The criminals on the fifth and sixth basement floors want to get out of there, first of all..."

As he spoke, he waved his weapon, and said with a determined look on his face.

"They're going to step on me!"

Alas!

Hannibal couldn't help but sigh at the thought that the belly runner was now squatting in the toilet again.

As the deputy warden of Advance City, the burden on his body is actually heavier than that of the warden.

Is this reasonable?

This is very unreasonable.

Thinking of this, he put his arm around Asuka's shoulders and spoke.

"My bosom friend, I heard that you have been there in the East China Sea all these years, I don't know if you have any legendary "monsters" that you want to see...

We'll drop by later..."

As the deputy warden of Advance City, the power in his hands is all in Push City, and if he goes out of Push City, few people will listen to what he says.

It's been more than two years since he met Asuka, and as the deputy warden of Advance City, he hasn't sent anything good to the other party.

The burial place of the treasure confessed by the prisoner's mouth does not count.

It is not a "specialty" of the city.

The specialties of the Advance City, from 800 years ago to the present, are all those prisoners.

Now that he's on his own turf, it's no problem to take him to meet the "specialty".

Thinking of this, Hannibal had a smug smile on his face.

He has seen a lot of prisoners on the sixth floor of the basement, and he has long been surprised.

But his bosom friend debuted too late, and he had never seen those legendary characters.

...

Half an hour later.

The passage to the fifth floor of the Great Undersea Prison is here.

"Alas!"

Asuka sighed and turned to look behind her.

He had wanted to meet the man Magellan.

Outcome... Before Magellan could come out, the bird heard a soft "poof".

It's not like it's a fart.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no strange expressions on the faces of the people around him, he really thought that Magellan had pulled it into his pants.

"Hah!"

Thinking of this, Asuka spat out a white mist into the air, looked at the snowy fifth layer in front of him and shook his head.

There's nothing to see here, and there's a lady on the 5.5th floor.

Well...

He wasn't interested in the lady at all.

"Warden Hannibal, I heard that you often have missing prisoners here?

Yin Wankov, who was arrested back then, disappeared mysteriously, have you ever determined the life and death of the other party? ”

"Sa~"

Hannibal waved his hand at the bird and said casually.

"There are too many people living here, let's just say that those jailer beasts of Satie, no one knows if they are eating people today, and it is normal for one or two prisoners to disappear occasionally."

As he spoke, he remembered the man who had been imprisoned by Magellan on the sixth basement floor, and spoke again.

"We had a warden here.

He is stationed here on the fifth and sixth floors all year round.

This time to escort Klockdahl, he should actually come over as well.

But some time ago, because of his indiscriminate killing of prisoners, the prison director Magellan was dissatisfied, and he was stabbed by the prison director to a military court and sentenced to a suspended death sentence.

Before he was sentenced, he loved to kill people, who knows if Yin Wankov and those people were killed by him. ”

Thinking of that guy [Hiryu], Hannibal couldn't help but have a complicated look on his face.

Although Hiryu was imprisoned, there were far fewer obstacles on his way to becoming a warden.

But correspondingly, the powerful combat power of the advancing city is one less.

A burden on my own body... It's so heavy...

Really...

Magellan's place should be sat by himself.

Thinking of this, he leaned over to the bird and lowered his voice.

"Major General Asuka, do you have any optimistic candidates for the future prison director of Advance City?

Or, who do you think should sit in the position of the next warden of Advance City? ”

"You!"

At this time, I saw Asuka put his hands on Hannibal's shoulders and said with a serious face.

"You're going to be the Warden of Advance City."

"Why?"

"Because, you are the man I fancie!

I always believe in you, and the next warden of Advance City will be you. ”

Of course, Asuka couldn't tell him that Magellan's guy almost committed suicide because of the chaos in the city, and although he was finally dissuaded by someone, he also resigned from the post of prison director and handed over the position to the man in front of him.

Moreover, this guy does have some reliability.

Although the strength is a little lower.

Bang!

At this time, I saw that the weapon in Hannibal's hand fell to the ground for some reason, shaking the scattered snowflakes on the ground to the side.

Asuka glanced down at the weapon that had fallen to the ground, then looked up at Hannibal in some surprise, and was about to say something when he saw the other party say excitedly.

"I didn't expect my close friend to believe so much in my heart, this can... This can... It's a shame.

But... I believe it in my heart.

Your close friend will definitely become a naval marshal in the future. ”

"Future Marshal!"

Hearing the other party call himself the future marshal, Asuka blinked and subconsciously picked up the conversation.

"The future Warden of the Advancing City!"

"Future Marshal!"

"The future Warden of the Advancing City!"

“......”

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

The jailer who followed the two of them slapped his big hand on his forehead, his eyes full of helplessness.

Less than an hour's work.

The address between the two became like this.

These two really don't know what to say.

...

After Hannibal and Asuka put Klockdahl in his cell, he took Asuka straight to the depths of the sixth level of the prison.

On the way there, he learns that Asuka wants to see the "legendary big men" of the same era as Roger.

Hannibal did not refuse this small request.

There are indeed a lot of old guys from Roger's generation who are imprisoned here.

After walking for a while, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the cell not far away, which was constantly bubbling cold, and said in a low voice.

He was known as the "World Saboteur", the man who had made the world government and navy feared along with Roger, Whitebeard, and others.

He is now 78 years old, but he looks like he was 45 years old because he has been frozen for 30 years. ”

At this point, Hannibal's face also showed a solemn look, and after he swallowed his saliva, he continued.

"He is the one who has the power to multiply the fruits and has great ambitions to subvert the world government.

At that time, in order to prevent him from dying in prison, so that the fruit of trouble would not be reborn on the sea, the world government made a very decisive decision to freeze him. ”

This is the "big man" who makes the world government feel tricky too.

World Breaker, Bundy Wald. ”

Following Hannibal's finger, the bird saw a huge ice sculpture in the cell not far away.

And inside the ice wither, a tall man is sealed.

The man in the ice cube and the image in the bird's memory merge and eventually merge into one.

"Momo fruit!"

...

The chapter was not saved... Inexplicably lost 3000 words.

Good night, sir, readers, and we'll see you tomorrow.
