Chapter 148: Laughter on the Sixth Floor
The Great Undersea Prison, the Advancement City, is divided into six floors.
The last of them, called "Infinite Hell".
The criminals imprisoned are all "monsters" who have been erased from history because of their overly vicious behavior.
The vast majority of them are close to legendary figures, whose existence has been deliberately concealed by the world government, and the end is either death or life imprisonment.
Unlike the misery and torture on the upper five floors, there is only a silent silence here, and a future that will never see the light of day!
The former [Golden Lion] Shiji and the future [Fire Fist] Ace were all imprisoned here.
β¦β¦
So, naturally, that man is also there.
Heβ
On an uninhabited island near Alabastan, a man who was defeated by the hands of the Devil.
One of the three major Kanban boards of the Hundred Beast Pirates, [Flame Calamity] Ash!
At this time, Ember was covered with shackles from Hailou Stone to his body, and he wore a special mask on his head, which concealed his true racial identity.
In fact, Ember shouldn't be here.
He is a remnant of the Lunalia and is very special to the World Government.
However, due to the existence of [Hundred Beasts] Kaido, the World Government was unable to properly place Ember in other places, so they simply imprisoned him in the sixth layer of Advance City for the time being, and then made plans in the future.
In this regard, the [Flame Calamity] Ember had already realized something.
He was quietly locked in his cell, waiting for the "changes" that might arise in the future.
β¦β¦
His change is yet to come.
"His" change has arrived!
β¦β¦
Click-la-la-la......
A special elevator descends slowly from the top of the sea to the sixth floor.
Many people are in it.
a senior government official, plus two bodyguards;
There is also the "director" Magellan of the city, and the "deputy director" Hannibal.
A total of five people.
Judging from the number of people alone, only five people are not qualified to come to the sixth layer at all, but at this time, there is Magellan plus two government guards in charge, fortunately, it is a special matter.
β¦β¦
"Is it really good to do special things, hey!"
Deputy Director Hannibal muttered in a shrieked voice:
"It's better for the director to resign and let me be the director...... Ah, my true thoughts exposed! β
ββ¦β¦β
Senior government officials don't care.
Advance City is an "anomalous" place where "anomalous" criminals are held.
Because of this, it is understandable that the jailers guarding the city will also become "abnormal".
What's more, the purpose of their trip is extremely tricky, and it doesn't matter if it's a trivial matter like offense.
ββ¦β¦β
"Three."
The director, Magellan, is a poisonous man who has eaten the poisonous fruit of the superhuman system, and he is also a nightmare that drives countless prisoners in the city.
He turned his burly body, and the faces of the three people from the World Government commanded:
"In addition to the goal of the handover, please do not intersect with other prisoners, and even more importantly, do not provoke them."
"Hmm."
The senior government official nodded.
On the contrary, Hannibal on the side said with a broken mouth:
"As the director, I actually let the prisoners on the sixth floor get out of prison, why don't you let me be the director...... Ah, the mind is exposed. β
Magellan: "......"
Leaned over Hannibal and hiccuped vigorously.
"Hiccup!"
A poisonous mist erupted, instantly turning Hannibal's face purple.
"Wow!"
Hannibal screamed and fell to the ground.
Magellan shook his head helplessly, and threw Hannibal an antidote, but his face looked confused and serious.
In fact, he knew very well that Hannibal was not completely ignorant of current affairs, and his current gaffe was nothing more than a cover for his inner confusion.
As the director and deputy director of the promotion city, they are doing this now, is it really right?
β¦β¦
Since the establishment of the city, it has been famous for its "entry and exit".
Any criminal who is imprisoned in it will not see the light of day again.
The navy that captured the criminals, or the victims who were mutilated by the criminals, did not need to worry about the retaliation of the criminals one day.
And those who are the most vicious criminals can only repent of their sins in a painful hell.
That's what they're all about!
The former [Golden Lion] Shiji poked out a gap in this "meaning".
And today, the dignified world government wants to pardon one of these criminals and grant him the rightful throne of the Seven Martial Seas!
This is tantamount to completely destroying the "meaning" of the existence of the Advance City, and even trampling the responsibility and pride of the jailers under their feet!
Is this really the right thing to do?
Therefore, Deputy Administrator Hannibal's confusion at this time, Magellan can understand.
"Well, the position of director is that you think too much."
"Hiccup!"
Magellan burped Hannibal again.
Hannibal: "......"
Poof!
β¦β¦
Hannibal was poisoned and fell into a coma and was left in the elevator.
Led by Director Magellan himself, with three visitors from the World Government, he stepped on the sixth floor of the city and went straight to the man's cell.
In a short time, the crowd arrived.
Along the way, the three government officials fully realized what a real "infinite hell" is!
Along the way, there was a lot of scolding.
"Hey, hey, hey, who's coming?"
"It's been a long time since it's been this lively!"
"Woohoo! New faces, people from the World Government? β
"Come, come to Lao Tzu, there is candy to eat!"
"Hahaha......"
ββ¦β¦β
It's a very different atmosphere from the first five floors.
If the first five layers are hell where the prisoners fall into fear, then this sixth layer is a real hell full of "monsters"!
One of the prisoners in this is counted as one, all of them are existences that can easily face the torture of the first five layers, and they are vicious prisoners who cannot be disciplined at all!
Among them, there are also a very small number of well-informed people who vaguely get information.
One sneered:
"Yo, isn't this the famous Director Magellan, is he here to execute the prisoner?"
"Hahahaha, I said, do you know what they're here for?"
"Magellan, you're still a world government dog!"
ββ¦β¦β
Magellan's face grew more and more gloomy, but he was still suppressing his anger.
On the other side, the senior government official nodded, and Magellan handed the man's key to the guard.
The guards stepped forward and opened the cages and shackles.
At the same time, the senior government official said slowly: "The conditions have been negotiated, and the next step will be handed over to you, and we will be responsible for giving you a ride." β
ββ¦β¦β
The man didn't speak, just walked out of the cage with heavy steps.
He was dressed in crimson skin, his muscles bulging, and his blond hair was scattered in a shawl.
It's him.
His gaze looked around, and finally fell on his "cellmate", [Flame Calamity] Ember.
"It seems that Lao Tzu is going to go out for some fresh air first......
Ember glanced at the man lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Are you going to deal with the [Demon]?" β
The man twisted his neck, "Ah, it seems to be, anyway, it's a guy I don't know." β
"Hehehe......"
Ember chuckled under his breath and shook his head, "Well, good luck." β
"Oh?"
The man raised an eyebrow, sensing the anomaly in Ember's words.
He had followed Roger for many years, and had heard rumors of the Lunarians, but he did not expect their remnants to be like this...... Do you care about that demon?
"Haha, that's really exciting!"
"So-"
The man suddenly lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly to everyone on the entire sixth floor:
"The weaklings of the sixth layer, Lao Tzu is going out to be a Seven Martial Sea!"
"To be honest, Lao Tzu is not interested in any bullshit Qiwu Sea, but what do the people of the world government actually say......"
"There is a strong man who can match Lao Tzu?"
"Ha, it's a rare opportunity, you can pray silently on the sixth floor......"
The man grinned and said in a deep voice:
"Pray that the war that Lao Tzu set off on the sea will not affect you garbage!"
ββ¦β¦β
With that, the man turned around and left, followed by the three members of the World Government.
For a while, the invective came overwhelmingly, but the four of them ignored it completely.
As for the director, Magellan, stayed last, watching the four of them get on the elevator, but he didn't move.
His eyes widened suddenly, and the poisonous gas around his body surged, and the momentum he emitted shocked everyone, and the sixth layer instantly fell silent.
At this time, Magellan was extremely angry, but he did not know where to vent his anger.
He only knows one thing now:
The prisoner who once committed a lot of crimes, the guy who used to be a crew member of [One Piece] Roger, the guy who ran unscrupulously on the sea-
Douglas Barrett, out of prison!
β¦β¦
It didn't take long.
Obviously, Magellan hadn't left yet, but in the space on the sixth floor, there was a faint low laugh.
The laughter gradually expanded, and eventually most of the criminals began to laugh!
They are laughing.
Laughing at the advancing city, the so-called "in but without leaving" is just empty talk;
ridiculed the world government, and in order to deal with the [Demon], he released the [Devil's Heir];
Laughing at Magellan, who clearly disagreed with this decision, but in the end could only obey the "dictates of power".
They laughed.
Laugh and laugh!
The laughter drowned out, making Magellan's face more and more gloomy, but helpless.
Why?
Because what the prisoners laughed at was the truth.
