Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Luffy noticed the giant poisonous dragon that was gradually expanding in size and becoming increasingly dark in color as countless smaller poisonous dragons gathered together.

His surrounding footholds had become precarious, overrun by the flowing venom.

However, the demonic intent in his hands did not dim due to the continuous slashes; on the contrary, the domineering aura wrapped around it seemed to be tempered by each swing, becoming even more dazzling.

It was as if he had made ninety-nine cuts, all to accumulate power so that the final cut would reach its peak!

This is a unique understanding of the use of Haki, a technique that Luffy developed during his brief training on Amazon Lily, through exchanges with Hancock and by combining it with his own experience.

Magellan was unfortunate enough to become the first person to experience this power.

"A large size does not necessarily mean higher strength."

Luffy twisted his wrist, his arm muscles bulged, and a surge of Haki and power was frantically poured into the demonic energy in his hand.

As he moved, his arm holding the sword, along with the demonic black sword in his hand, began to grow at a visible speed.

"But since your moves have gotten bigger, I'll return the favor!"

You're not the only one who can grow big!

hum!

A chilling buzzing sound arose.

The terrifying sword energy and the domineering aura that had been condensed to the extreme seemed to have materialized. Black and red lightning bolts surged wildly, illuminating the entire scorching hell with flickering light!

The enormous black sword appeared.

Magellan's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and his pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

Don't try to take it head-on!

But his dignity and duty as director did not allow him to back down!

"Let me show you what the absolute bulwark of Impel Down really is!"

Magellan roared, and the giant venomous dragon, which had gathered almost all of the venom, suddenly became even darker in color. Red venom began to emerge from the very back of the dragon, gradually spreading throughout its entirety.

That was Magellan's trump card.

When the dark red venom appeared, Luffy felt a pang of fear.

"It's highly toxic; I don't want to come into contact with this stuff."

Without further hesitation, Luffy unleashed his power, which had been expanded to its limit, with a powerful swing of his sword!

"Overlord Blade, Slash!"

The enormous black blade, carrying the force to tear everything apart, slashed down fiercely!

"Overwhelming Haki?!"

Magellan's expression was solemn as he controlled the giant, dark red venomous dragon, opening its massive jaws to meet the sword's edge that was tearing through space.

boom!

The deafening explosion instantly engulfed the entire fourth floor!

At the point where the poisonous dragon collided with the black sword, an unimaginable energy shock erupted.

Purple venom and dark red, imposing lightning flew everywhere.

However, the anticipated stalemate did not occur.

The moment the venomous dragon opened its massive jaws, the sword tip pierced through the venom barrier with an almost overwhelming force!

Wherever the sword passed, the venom vanished as if it were ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

"what?!"

Magellan could hardly believe his eyes. Just how powerful and imposing was that guy's aura?!

But his fighting instincts made him react immediately, recklessly pushing his body to continuously produce venom.

The extreme forces of both sides collided violently, generating destructive power far beyond imagination.

The ground below, covered in venom, shattered like fragile glass under the impact of this force.

A huge gap appeared on the ground of the fourth floor!

Below the gap, a biting wind howled and rushed in, bringing with it a vast expanse of white ice.

That's the fifth level, the extreme cold hell!

"That's the fifth floor!"

Not far away, Bucky, who had been huddled in a corner trembling and nearly blown away by the shockwave, saw the scene below and gasped in shock.

After Luffy unleashed a slash, he retracted his arm and restored the demonic energy to its original state.

There was venom everywhere above, and nowhere to land.

Then the only option is to go down.

Luffy plunged into the fifth layer of ice.

In the remaining stairwell, Magellan staggered and steadied himself.

A long gash ran from his forehead to his chin, from which dark purple poisonous blood seeped out, making him look particularly ferocious.

But what he found even more embarrassing than the injury on his face was that, under the combined pressure of the heavy blow and his desperate efforts to maintain his strength, he felt like he was about to burst!

Magellan's face was so dark it seemed to drip venom, as he stared intently at the howling wind at the entrance to the fifth floor below.

He didn't chase after them immediately.

On the one hand, he was experiencing internal turmoil and urgently needed to resolve his personal issues; on the other hand, he had absolute confidence in the effectiveness of his poison.

He was certain that in the fierce exchange just now, Luffy could not possibly have completely avoided all the venom. Even if he only got a tiny bit on him, the poison would take effect four hours later, and the Straw Hat kid would be dead without a doubt!

"Wait, let me sort this out before I settle the score with you!"

Magellan squeezed his legs together, stood still, took deep breaths, and tried to calm the surging urge to defecate in his abdomen.

At this moment, Hannibal, Sadie Jr., and the others who were being blown by the cold wind slowly woke up.

Hannibal shook his still dizzy head and, seeing Magellan standing there, immediately ran over and slapped him on the shoulder: "Chief! Where's that straw hat kid?! Let's go after him!"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt an indescribable odor, a mixture of poisonous stench, rushing towards him with the cold wind.

Little Sadi and Domino ran over, but as soon as they got close, they suddenly covered their noses, their faces showing extremely strange expressions, and backed away repeatedly.

"Hannibal, the Deputy Commissioner."

Domino suppressed her discomfort and whispered a reminder.

Hannibal belatedly realized that he might have made a terrible mistake. Looking at Magellan's murderous gaze, he felt that his dream of becoming the warden was rapidly fading away.

"Ah, I'm dead."

Hannibal fainted first.

Either he takes the initiative, or Magellan takes the initiative for him.

He chose the former.

Chapter 343 The Battle of Marineford? No, it's the Battle of Impel Down! (A long chapter of 10,000 words)

The fifth level is the extreme cold hell.

A cold wind howled, but Luffy didn't feel any chill.

The so-called hellish cold here is not even half as powerful as the Aokiji Fruit's ability.

Luffy looked up. He hadn't held back with that last strike; he believed it was enough to give that Poisonous Chief a run for his money.

The other party shouldn't be chasing us anytime soon.

Of course, if the other party dares to chase after him again, he won't be polite.

Fighting in the relatively narrow, venom-filled environment of the fourth level would be too disadvantageous for him; this vast ice field is a better place for him to perform.

After a while, they no longer sensed any intention to pursue them.

"They're really not going to catch up?" Luffy muttered.

He stretched his limbs, preparing to find the entrance to the sixth floor, but suddenly felt a slight burning sensation on the back of his right hand.

He looked down and saw that a small drop of dark purple venom had somehow gotten on the back of his hand.

It was emitting wisps of white smoke, attempting to corrode his skin.

Is that why they didn't catch up?

"This is indeed a bit troublesome."

Luffy frowned and tried to dispel it with his Haki.

This venom is exceptionally stubborn, like a bone-deep infection, and its effects are not significant.

But at the same time, the notification sounds in his ears became clearer and more frequent:

[Toxicity Resistance +10]

[Toxicity Resistance +10]

......

It felt as if a warm current was fighting against the invading toxins inside my body. Although I could feel the toxins causing damage, my resistance seemed to be increasing even faster.

Luffy could clearly feel his body undergoing some kind of intense metabolism and adaptive transformation.

The price is that hunger comes like a tidal wave.

"It just hurts a little,"

Luffy shook his hand, ignoring the venom, and focused his attention on his surroundings.

As far as the eye can see, there is only a vast expanse of white ice and howling winds, and overhead you can see a huge skull-shaped rock structure.

In the chaos just now, Buggy disappeared somewhere, but Luffy couldn't be bothered with him. Now that he was here, he didn't need Buggy as a guide anymore.
