The most courageous pirate hunter

Are we going to release the Monarchy members imprisoned in Impel Down?

ridiculous.

Just for this mere threat?

"We must take a strategic view. There are at least 250 power rocks on XX Fortress. Do you know what that means? All naval bases could be destroyed by the enemy. Now that things have come to this, we must minimize the losses."

"But this would leave our navy with no prestige whatsoever, being threatened by a wanted criminal with no recourse, which would be even more serious than before."

"damn it."

"It seems we truly underestimated them?"

An argument broke out in the meeting room.

We're now in a difficult situation.

"Marshal, you decide!"

Since the debate could not yield any results, the matter could only be left to the Warring States period to decide!

Zhan Guo sighed inwardly and then began to ponder. He realized that all of this was due to his poor decision-making, a stain on his career. The more he thought about it, the angrier and more helpless he became.

"Try negotiating."

Even during the Warring States period, he was undecided and planned to negotiate first before making a decision.

"Brumuru."

Having made up his mind, Sengoku took action, pulling out a Den Den Mushi and dialing.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

The Den Den Mushi was answered shortly after it rang, and a very jarring laugh immediately filled the conference room—quite distinctive.

"Jormungandr, I am Sengoku."

"Warring States, I call you an immortal! You dare to scheme against me? I'll fuck your grandma! Since I started out, when have I ever suffered such humiliation? You dare to double-cross me?"

If I don't beat the shit out of your navy, I, Jormungandr, will become a gigolo and castrate myself upside down.

Just you wait, the real show is just beginning.

Damn your mother.

"Damn it!!!"

Sengoku had only said two sentences when a string of curses erupted from the other end of the phone. Even through the Den Den Mushi, one could feel the barely suppressed anger. Sengoku wasn't given a chance to continue speaking before the call was cut off.

The entire conference room was deathly silent.

It seems the other party is really angry. They started with all sorts of insults and made it clear they wouldn't negotiate. They're determined to fight the navy to the bitter end, even going so far as to castrate themselves, and in a handstand position no less.

Their determination is extraordinary.

"Borsalino, hunt him down to the death!"

"Increase this bastard's bounty to three billion Berries."

First place.

Sengoku was so angry that his face turned red. When had he ever been insulted like this before, especially in front of so many people? This was the first time he had ever suffered such humiliation since his debut.

If he hadn't possessed a sliver of reason, he would have personally gone to hunt down and kill this arrogant fellow.

"Get out of here right now!"

A chilling murderous aura filled the air. Sengoku slammed his hand on the desk, shattering it and startling everyone. They had never seen Sengoku like this before.

very scary.

"no problem."

Borsalino broke out in a cold sweat. He felt immense pressure being stared at by Sengoku. Well, he didn't dare to say anything sarcastic and got up to leave the meeting room.

Don't be fooled by Sengoku's usual joking and gentle demeanor towards his subordinates; when he gets angry, everyone has to behave properly. Didn't you see Garp and Tsuru sitting up straight?

People like Onigumo slowed their breathing.

A certain sea area in the New World.

"You son of a bitch, you still dare to make phone calls, you're just a bastard!"

"You're forcing me to swear and curse your ancestors for eighteen generations."

Hermes spat on the ground. With his temper, even if the Warring States period or the Three Kingdoms period came, it wouldn't be of any use. Don't think that Hermes is too stupid to see that this is a peace talk.

I'll stab your kidney.

Do you think I'm made of clay?

"Damn it, I'll expose it again."

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Hermes dialed Fallaci's number and relayed the conversation, in which he had just finished cursing vehemently and felt great, so he wanted the whole world to hear it.

Anyone with eyes could see that the navy wanted to negotiate, but he deliberately refused to give them that opportunity, wanting to embarrass the navy.

I'll get you.

the next day.

The world was once again in uproar. Looking back on history, Hermes was a pioneer, the first to berate a naval admiral so severely, showing absolutely no respect.

"Holy crap, are they serious?"

"Well done!"

"The King of Hunters has quite the temper."

"I really want to see the expression on Sengoku's face right now."

"I would call the King of Hunters the most courageous man in the world. He pulls off one amazing move after another. I really look forward to the next episode."

"The Navy wants to negotiate? No way!"

Is the King of Hunters really that much of a threat?

"Hahahaha~"

"The Navy's attempt to steal a chicken has backfired. Who would have thought the King of Hunters would have such a fiery temper, not even giving them a chance to negotiate? He's really stubborn. He truly deserves to be called the most courageous man."

"If you're going to argue, argue until you drop. I like that kind of temper."

"Reckless man."

"But I'd love to see the King of Hunters become a gigolo, I just love men."

"Castration while upside down? You're more ruthless than me! You've got guts!"

"Look, the Navy has raised the bounty on the King of Hunters to 30 billion Berries!"

Also on that day.

Hermes' original bounty of 1.25 billion Berries has been increased to 3 billion Berries.

Everyone could feel the fury of the navy, or rather, the wrath of the Sengoku period.

indeed.

Now, Zhan Guo is so angry his kidneys are twitching, and he's throwing a tantrum in the office.

"asshole."

"brute."

He had seen all sorts of big scenes during the Warring States period, but this time he was so angry that he was furious. That bastard even published the recording of the call, making him lose face once again.

He had never seen such a shameless, scoundrel-like, and stubborn guy.

Chapter 151 [A Real Man Never Looks Back]

Impel the city.

The world's number one prison.

It is known as an impregnable fortress; no prisoner who enters here has ever managed to escape.

However, legends are bound to be broken eventually. There was once a remarkable man who managed to escape from here. Although his whereabouts are now unknown, he has been hailed as a legend, just like Impel Down.

He is the legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion, a man who once arrogantly wanted to subdue the Pirate King all by himself.

It was because of this person that the myth of Impel Down was broken, which led to Impel Down being even more heavily guarded now.

Even now, some people don't understand why the navy didn't execute those pirates after capturing them, but instead wasted countless manpower and resources building such a huge fortress.

In fact, Impel Down's role is unique and essential.

The first purpose is deterrence. As the name suggests, this involves capturing notorious pirates and imprisoning them indefinitely. This form of punishment is more terrifying than killing them.

Sometimes death isn't scary; what's scary is the torment, the complete lack of hope, the prospect of dying in isolation from the moment you step into this place, accompanied only by loneliness and despair. Moreover, the torment in Impel Down is unimaginable.

Even some notorious pirates are imprisoned here with no hope of survival, so it is a taboo for other pirates, a warning of what will happen if they are caught, and a testament to the authority of the World Government and the Navy!
