Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Okay, I can't see them at all.

Hancock was thinking about Luffy and cherished his wish; she wished she could fly to Ace immediately.

After some twists and turns, they finally arrived at the 5th basement level.

Unexpectedly, Magellan received a phone call and hurriedly left with his men.

Ignoring the mockery of the other prisoners, Hancock's eyes eagerly searched the cell, quickly locking onto the tightly bound figure: Ace.

Ace sat quietly in the corner of the cell, his eyes revealing a hint of weariness and helplessness.

But a hint of surprise still flashed in his eyes when he saw Hancock.

"Luffy's brother, right? Are you alright?"

Hancock strode to the cell and asked expressionlessly.

Ace raised his head, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"I'm alright. I never expected that the legendary Empress would actually come to see me."

Hancock took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and said seriously.

"Ace, Luffy is here to save you. He's in Impel Down right now, trying his best to get here."

Upon hearing this, Ace was stunned, as if struck by lightning. His eyes widened instantly, and his face was filled with shock.

He suddenly stood up and asked loudly.

"What? Luffy's here? This is too dangerous! How could he be so impulsive!"

Hancock felt a pang of pity seeing Ace's excited expression.

"He rushed in without regard for anything because of you."

Ace was silent for a moment, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

He explained his reason with a wry smile.

"Actually, I deliberately got captured. My purpose was to lure out the traitor hidden in the Whitebeard Pirates and the conspiracy behind it."

"I didn't expect to involve Luffy; he shouldn't have taken this risk."

Hancock was slightly shocked upon hearing this; she hadn't expected Ace to have such a plan.

Just then, Magellan, who had been missing for a long time, coughed and walked over.

"It's almost time, you should go."

Hancock gave Ace a deep look.

"Take care of yourself. I hope Luffy can find you safely."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Not long after Hancock left, Fanny appeared before Ace like a gust of wind.

Ace was startled and looked at him warily, asking, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

With his arms crossed and a smug smile on his face, Fanny said, "My name is Fanny. I'm a member of Luffy's crew and a Saint. I'm here to tell you something."

Then, Fanny gave Ace a detailed introduction to the Saint Seiya and Cosmo, and also shared some of his future plans.

Ace was stunned, filled with curiosity about this mysterious person who had suddenly appeared.

"Your plan sounds crazy, but it's also very feasible."

Ace said, frowning.

Fanny raised an eyebrow and said, "So, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Ace pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

"For Luffy, and for the Whitebeard Pirates, I'm willing."

Just then, the Navy arrived, saying they wanted to interrogate Ace.

Fanny had no choice but to conceal himself and quietly slip into the cell of Jinbe, the blue fat fishman who was watching the drama unfold with a shocked expression.

……

Meanwhile, Luffy and Buggy the Clown are causing chaos on the second basement level.

They were like two tireless vandals, leaving a trail of destruction wherever they went.

Just as they were having a good time, they ran into Mr. 3.

"Hey, isn't this Candle Man? It's been a long time!"

Luffy saw Mr. 3 and shouted excitedly.

Mr.3 pushed up his glasses, a helpless expression on his face.

"You two, what kind of mess have you made of this place?"

Luffy scratched his head and chuckled.

"We're here to rescue Ace, and to cause some trouble while we're at it."

When three men get together, it's quite a lively scene.

As the saying goes, "Three cobblers with their wits combined can drive even the most brilliant minds crazy."

Three men together are bound to become a master of ideas.

Their ideas kept coming up, and they became increasingly agitated.

The prisoners in the cell were stunned by their actions, while the jailers were furious.

As the situation continued to deteriorate, Bucky the Clown and Mr. 3 realized that things couldn't continue like this.

So, the two of them put their heads together, whispered a few words, and immediately agreed.

They decided to use Luffy as bait to lure away the monster guarding the stairs, the human-faced feathered lion.

"Luffy, look, there's something delicious over there!"

Bucky pointed in the direction of the feathered lion and shouted.

Upon hearing that there was delicious food, Luffy's eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed towards that direction without hesitation.

Upon seeing Luffy, the human-faced, feathered lion immediately roared and pounced on him with its claws outstretched.

Seeing this, Luffy excitedly shouted, "Perfect timing! Drywood Fall - Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

While Luffy distracted the lion-faced lion, Buggy the Clown and Mr. 3 secretly ran towards the stairs.

Unexpectedly, their luck was terrible. They had only run a few steps when they were swept by the tail of the human-faced, feathered lion.

The two people were thrown out like two tattered sacks, falling directly to the third basement level.

When Luffy saw Buggy and Mr. 3 being thrown off, he panicked and, disregarding the man-faced, feathered lion, jumped down after them.

So, Luffy, Buggy the Clown, and Mr. 3 all fell to the third basement level.

The third basement level is a scorching, starving hell, with temperatures so high they are unbearable.

As soon as the three of them landed, they felt as if they had fallen into a giant steamer, with sweat pouring out of their mouths.

They not only got lost in the sweltering heat, but also fell into a trap set by the jailer chief, Saludes.

Just when they were feeling hopeless, the human-faced, feathered lion regained consciousness.

It wreaked havoc in the trap, making a complete mess of it.

Luffy and his crew seized the opportunity and desperately climbed out, finally escaping the trap.

Having shaken off his pursuers on the third basement level, Luffy didn't stop for a moment and continued his efforts to find the stairs leading to the fourth basement level.

Along the way, they encountered all sorts of terrifying jailer beasts, including the most dreadful Minotaur.

"Withered Tree, Withered Tree Falls - Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

Luffy shouted and launched an attack on the Minotaur.

After a fierce battle, Luffy and his crew finally defeated the Minotaur.

Unexpectedly, the floor collapsed because of their fight.

Before the three of them could react, they all fell to the fourth basement level.

"This is just too unlucky!"

"Paki complained."

After falling into the scorching hell on the fourth basement level, Luffy was dizzy from the heat and his stomach was growling with hunger.

He decided to fill his stomach first and replenish his energy.

Mr. 3, however, pulled Bucky to a higher place, fearing they would be discovered by the jailers.

After Lu Fei's whereabouts were exposed, he was pursued by numerous prison guards.

The jailers surrounded Luffy completely, but they were helpless against him.

Just then, Director Magellan was dispatched!

Magellan was a poisonous being who ate the poison-poison fruit. His body emitted a strong poisonous gas, and just touching it would cause painful death.

Luffy knew this perfectly well, but he did not back down.

To win, he unleashed his inner power, concentrating his domineering aura in his hands.

"Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

Countless fist shadows flew towards Magellan, who was forced to retreat repeatedly.

But he was strong enough to regain his footing quickly.

He opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of black poisonous gas, lunging towards Luffy.

Luffy was unable to dodge in time and inhaled a large amount of poison gas, gradually weakening his body.

Ultimately, he was defeated by Magellan's strength.

On the other hand, Bucky and Mr. 3 were subdued by Hannibal.

Just when they thought they were doomed, the real man, Bon Clay, appeared!
