Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Impel Down is located in the Calm Belt, the first half of the Grand Line!

Because this is a prison for serious offenders and powerful terrorists, security is extremely strict. There are prison guards who are actually animals, as well as many Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices) for surveillance, which can almost suppress any prisoner who wants to escape.

In the past eight hundred years, only the Golden Lion has escaped on his own.

If he weren't a user of the Float-Float Fruit, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out.

This is because it is a calm zone, surrounded by the ocean where sea monsters are active.

Before he even arrived, Raleigh, as was customary, sent a message to the Impel Prison, requesting that they open the gates.

Having received the message, Shiliu had been waiting for a long time. He led a group of soldiers to open the gates of Impel Down prison to facilitate Raleigh's entry.

Shiliu has not yet shown the bloodthirsty side of his character, so he has not been imprisoned in the sixth level of Impel Down.

However, some well-known and powerful figures had already been imprisoned long ago.

"Impert guards, welcome Lieutenant General Raleigh."

As soon as Raleigh's warship came to a stop, Shiliu and his men shouted loudly.

Standing on the deck, Raleigh looked down at Shiliu without saying a word.

This person is unusable.

However, there's no need to take action against him right now.

"Let's take a look at the prisoner."

Raleigh waved his hand, and Enel directed several strong soldiers to carry out Redfield, whose limbs had been crippled.

Shiliu glanced at it, his brow twitching. He hadn't expected that Redfield, who looked perfectly fine in the newspaper, would end up like this in Raleigh's hands.

His breathing dropped drastically, and his limbs were mercilessly broken.

It must be said that he really liked the way Lieutenant General Raleigh, who was extremely famous.

"Lieutenant General Raleigh, would you mind coming with us to the warden's office at Impel Prison? Our warden wishes to see you."

The image of that guy who spewed poison gas with every breath came to mind. Magellan's strength shouldn't have made him the warden of Impel Down at this age.

Unfortunately, the previous warden was named King, and he went to work for Kaido, so they had no choice but to choose someone from the current Impel Down to serve as the warden.

Magellan happened to be very familiar with Impel Down, and Sora thought his abilities would be very useful in Impel Down and that he had great potential for future growth, so he promoted him to warden.

However, Raleigh was very curious about why Magellan had found him.

"Enel, you go with Deputy Warden Hiro to handle the handover. I'm going to check on their offices."

Raleigh began to speak.

Shiliu quickly dispatched several guards to lead Raleigh forward.

Coincidentally, one of the guards was someone Raleigh knew—Hannibal, the one who was blocking Luffy's path.

At this moment, Hannibal must have only recently become a guard; wearing his guard uniform, he appeared unusually young.

heart.

I don't know why, but later he became the person who was always eyeing Magellan's position as warden.

"Lord Rolorie, could you please give me your autograph?"

Walking along the roads inside Impel Down, Hannibal finally couldn't contain his inner thoughts, staring at Raleigh with eyes full of longing.

This is the most famous rising star vice admiral in the entire navy. In just a few years since he came from the four seas to the Grand Line, he has participated in several major events.

He has even fought against all the legendary great pirates.

Hannibal felt that today was truly his lucky day to be able to serve such a person.

Raleigh was quite happy too.

Who doesn't want to be praised by others?

Moreover, he's not even an old man; he has a very youthful mindset.

"Give me a pen, and I'll sign it for you."

Raleigh's attitude deeply moved Hannibal, who quickly took out a pen and a poster from his pocket.

Please sign here!

Raleigh stared at the poster, somewhat stunned.

This is his most widely circulated photo.

That is, the photo taken when he was promoted to Vice Admiral and declared war on pirates all over the world.

"How nostalgic."

Raleigh took the poster, his eyes flashing with memories.

Along the way, he encountered many enemies, but also met many like-minded comrades.

The only reason he can still stand here is thanks to the system's support.

Otherwise, relying solely on his own training, he could never surpass Borsalino.

He knew from his childhood days hanging out with Borsalino that the word "genius" had a basis in reality.

They don't need to spend an excessive amount of time to easily reach a level that others can't achieve even with hard work.

Just like how Sakazuki and Borsalino learned the Six Powers of the Navy the first time they saw them, while no one else could learn them no matter what.

However, one person with cheat codes is enough in the world; I don't think having another one like Raleigh would be enough.

Fortunately, the real cheat hasn't been released yet, so Raleigh has plenty of time to prepare.

That guy's growth rate is truly astonishing.

The Sun God - Joy Boy!

Although my mind was still recalling, my pen was writing things down rapidly.

Here's a saying for you: A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier.

Raleigh borrowed words from others and wrote them on this poster, finally signing it as Christine Raleigh.

Hannibal accepted the poster, flattered and surprised.

Looking at the famous quote above, Hannibal felt a shock to his soul.

He was naturally timid; if he weren't, he wouldn't have volunteered to be a guard at a place like Impel Down.

After all, those who trained together either chose to serve on the Grand Line or on the other side of the sea. Only he was afraid of fighting pirates, so he came to this place.

Raleigh's words have now planted a seed in his heart.

Raleigh probably never imagined that his appearance would prematurely change Hannibal's mind, making him develop the idea of ​​becoming a warden at an early age.

"Lord Raleigh, I have a poster here too!!!"

Lord Raleigh, please sign my clothes!!!

"Lord Raleigh—!"

Seeing that Hannibal had obtained Raleigh's autograph and a message that Raleigh had written specifically for him, the other young guards became envious.

They all asked Raleigh to sign their autographs as well, and Raleigh was happy to talk to them about it.

The first level of Impel Down prison is not very large; it's like a tarot cake. The lower you go, the bigger it gets, but the buildings at the top aren't very large.

So Raleigh and his group quickly arrived in front of the large elevator, accompanied by the clattering sound of machinery!

They went directly to the prison warden's office on the fourth basement level.

Lieutenant General Rowley, we've arrived at the warden's office.

It seemed that once they reached their boss's door, they all resumed their serious demeanor.

Only Hannibal's expression was somewhat complicated, and then he whispered:

"Lord Raleigh, Lord Magellan is a good man. Please don't blame him if you smell anything strange."

Raleigh naturally knew the reason, so he took a deep breath to indicate that he understood.

Hannibal then pushed open the door, and Raleigh walked into the spacious but somewhat dimly lit office!

Lord Raleigh, I am Magellan, the warden of Impel Down.

Magellan, who had a devilish look, stood up from his office chair, even though they were theoretically equals.

However, Magellan was promoted exceptionally, while Raleigh was about to be promoted to general, so Magellan naturally didn't have the confidence to be arrogant in front of Raleigh.

"Warden Magellan, throughout my journey here, I've observed that the prison's internal management is exceptionally standardized. You've done a remarkable job; no wonder you were promoted by the Air Marshal."

As soon as Raleigh saw Magellan, he started praising him for his good work, which made Magellan blush.

He is very happy right now.

Being praised by Lieutenant General Raleigh for doing a good job greatly satisfied his vanity.

Everyone likes to be praised, especially when the other person has a certain status; in that case, the praise carries even more weight.

"Nothing special, I was just following Marshal Kong's orders and prison regulations."

Magellan blushed as he explained. Raleigh could tell he was an honest person, and then praised him!

"Magellan, you don't need to be modest. Doing your job so well is something to be proud of. If I return to Marineford, I will definitely mention your name to the Air Marshal."

"Really?"

Magellan's eyes widened; he didn't know how to describe his current feelings.

It was like a windfall.

Lord Raleigh, please, please have a seat.

Magellan carefully placed his treasured tea leaves in front of Raleigh!

"Lord Raleigh, this is one of the few teas in my collection that hasn't been contaminated by the poison gas."

Magellan became somewhat uneasy at this point.

His Devil Fruit is powerful enough, but the side effects it brings are also quite obvious.

That means he simply couldn't control the release of the poison gas.

Even simple things like eating and drinking can cause him to constantly need to urinate because the toxic fumes he breathes in contaminate his food.

Raleigh was aware of Magellan's problem, but he didn't have a better solution.

As far as I remember, even after his Devil Fruit awakened, he still couldn't control the poison gas effectively. Magellan, why didn't you open the window?

Raleigh looked at the window, which was tightly surrounded by a black curtain, and asked.

Magellan said with a hint of unease,

I had thought about opening the windows to release the toxic gas before, but the guards in the prison were too weak. Even small amounts of toxic gas would be too much for them to handle over a long period of time, so I have kept the windows closed ever since.

Raleigh smacked his lips but didn't say anything.

Lord Roroly, how about I take you on a tour of the prison? It would be good to give you some guidance on your work.

Magellan was clearly unaware of certain unspoken rules, namely that no one would voluntarily invite another person to prison.

However, given his personality, he might really just want to invite Raleigh to give him some guidance on his work.

Raleigh was also feeling a bit bored in the office, so he figured he might as well take a walk around.

Anyway, he didn't have a strong impression of Impel Down prison, so he could treat it as a novel experience.

This level is a scorching hell, with extremely high temperatures.

All prisoners sent to Impel Down are concentrated on this floor for so-called "scalding disinfection," and then assigned to different prisons based on their sentences and level of danger.

Magellan didn't linger on this level; he quickly led Raleigh to the next level, the Frozen Hell.

As soon as he entered the extreme cold hell, Raleigh saw various ice sculptures.

This amazed him.

This is the complete opposite of the scorching hell; as soon as you enter, you will feel a bone-chilling cold, as if you were in an icebox at minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius.

The forest here is inhabited by many powerful war wolves, who serve as the guardians of this level.

Furthermore, because the temperature is too low for Den Den Mushi to survive, there are no Den Den Mushi to monitor this floor.

Magellan finally felt more comfortable on this level.

"Lord Raleigh, the prisoners here are all hardened criminals who can't possibly be released. They're only imprisoned here because they lack the strength, but each of them committed heinous crimes."

Raleigh activated his Observation Haki and quickly sensed several pirates struggling in the icy wilderness.

However, he didn't take it seriously; he had killed countless pirates like this before.

"Warden Magellan has done an excellent job; these prisoners deserve this kind of suffering as atonement."

Magellan was thrilled to receive another compliment from Raleigh.

With the key in hand, one can open the door to the sixth floor.

"Wait a minute, Magellan, is this in accordance with the rules?"

Magellan turned back and smiled at Rory;

"Don't worry, Lord Raleigh, I'm the warden, and I'm in charge here."

However, Magellan's enthusiasm ultimately opened the gates of the sixth level of hell.

It is rumored that the sixth level holds countless great pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions, and even some who have been erased from history and can only be found in fragments of written records.

All of these people are locked up on this floor.

In the pitch-black environment, most of the prisoners were fast asleep, as sleeping could reduce the strain on their bodies.

The sixth level will only provide very little food, as it will consume their energy.

As the door opened, most of the prisoners awoke from their sleep.

"Hey, is it lunchtime again?"

Damn it, I remember the last time they served meals was two months ago.

"You're still half asleep. Was that three months ago?"

"Hey, give me an extra meal and I'll tell you the location of a treasure. How about 100 million Berries for a meal?"

Most of these prisoners were arrogant and rude before they came in.

Furthermore, after being locked up on the sixth floor, with virtually no chance of being released, they became even more irritable.

However, none of them knew Raleigh.

Because the prisoners inside were all people who had been imprisoned several years ago, and in the past few years, all the world-famous people had been killed by Raleigh. Only Redfield, who was sent here today, was the sole survivor.

So when they saw Raleigh's young face, they spoke even louder.

"Hey you pretty boy over there, get over here and let me out right now."

"Isn't that Magellan? You dare to come down here?"

Magellan's face darkened as a stream of venom flew from his hand into the bodies of the prisoners in the cell.

"Aaaaaah, Magellan, if you've got the guts, kill me!"

"This isn't enough! This isn't enough! Haven't you eaten yet?!"

The prisoners in the jail continued to shout.
