One Piece: Ascending the Divine Path

This is the first time I've ever fought against a true master.

Moreover, it was a master like Magellan.

Although there are still seven years before the story begins, Magellan is probably nearing his peak at this point, as he is almost forty years old.

In fact, because of the confined environment, the power he can unleash is even more exaggerated.

To put it bluntly, if I didn't intervene, this man could have killed all the prisoners.

But that's precisely why I feel excited.

Let's test my abilities.

Knight, who was always lazy, suddenly became fired up!

Even more inspiring than him were the prisoners who took the lead.

Each of them had a crazed expression, like a wild beast ready to devour its prey.

"Utterly foolish."

A purple venomous dragon crashed down, instantly swallowing the hot-blooded prisoners whole.

By the time the poisonous dragon crashed into the bridge and exploded, the prisoners could only lie on the ground convulsing.

Upon seeing this, the prisoners, who had been somewhat hot-blooded, instantly cleared their eyes.

Even Anthony couldn't help but swallow hard.

This guy is way too monstrous.

His poison is so potent that just touching it is fatal!

Magellan raised his right hand, and the two remaining poisonous dragons behind him began to dance.

The prisoners behind Knight had already unconsciously started to back away.

"Go to hell and repent, you sinners, you poisonous dragon!"

Two enormous venomous dragons opened their mouths wide and lunged forward to tear at the prey.

"Wow!"

Someone has already screamed.

Amid screams, the venomous dragons that were tearing at the bridge suddenly exploded, as if something invisible had shredded them to pieces. Even the splattered venom was thrown directly into the blood pools on both sides of the bridge.

"What?"

  Remember us, 101kanshu.com

Magellan's brow furrowed.

Although he couldn't see it with his eyes, he sensed it with his Observation Haki. Just now, two transparent things that looked like long snakes appeared out of thin air, shredded his poison dragon, and then flicked away the venom.

What kind of ability is this?

He knew all about these guys; they shouldn't have this type of ability.

Bagingom was also taken aback.

Invisible physical attack?

It looks somewhat familiar.

"No one can judge me, and I will not repent."

Knight stepped forward. "Magellan, you can't stop me."

"Bandi Waldo—"

Magellan's words came to an abrupt halt, and his pupils instantly contracted.

Invisible matter condensed directly in front of him, transforming into an invisible blade that slashed at him at almost zero distance.

He almost instinctively stepped back to avoid it.

However, the attack was too fast and the distance was too close, so they could only avoid the fatal neck area.

boom!

As if struck head-on by a giant sword, the air behind Magellan was cleaved apart with a sharp, piercing sound, and the ground was torn apart by the aftershocks, leaving a deep trail.

Magellan's face was contorted, and a deep wound was cleaved from his right shoulder to his chest, splattering blood everywhere.

Then he shot through the air and flew backward, passing directly across the entire bridge and crashing hard into the opposite wall.

The walls in the distance were visibly collapsing, and rings of smoke exploded outwards.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at Knight.

Knight nodded in satisfaction.

Although it cannot project real matter, since the projected matter has a physical form, it can possess the basic properties of matter, such as hardness, toughness, and weight.

By expending more physical energy, the projected material can be made harder, heavier, and more resilient.

In addition, its transparency makes it perfectly usable as telekinesis. As long as it's within the projection range, even if it's not a zero-frame attack, it's still a close-range, high-powered attack!

This is Knight's strongest fighting method at present.

"That's amazing, sir!"

Anthony immediately yelled in a shrill voice, "Even a monster like Magellan is nothing but a chicken and a dog in front of you!"

"I'd go through fire and water for you, my lord!"

Salt nodded repeatedly, "I will follow you my whole life!"

Bagingom's eye twitched.

It looks even more familiar now.

Knight completely ignored these guys and simply said, "Let's go."

"yes!!"

All the prisoners were excited.

This person is so powerful, then this time we really will be able to leave this hellish place!

The group quickly rushed onto the bridge and sprinted towards the other side.

That is, at this moment, on the other side.

"Ugh—"

Magellan shook his head and raised his hand to touch the deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest.

It had been so long since I'd had a proper fight that I almost didn't react in time. Luckily, I used Armament Haki in time to defend myself, otherwise, the injuries wouldn't have been this bad.

But what exactly happened?

That must have been an attack launched by Bandi Waldo, right?

Isn't he a Paramecia-type Momo-Momo Fruit user?

However, now is not the time to think about these things.

Magellan straightened up; Knight and his group had already arrived at this side of the bridge.

"Kill him! Then we'll be free!"

Anthony rallied the team again, "Let's go! He's just one man after all!"

The voice just fell.

"Chief, we're here to provide backup—wait, if the chief gets taken down, I can become the chief—"

An exaggerated and bizarre voice came from behind Magellan.

Magellan didn't turn his head, but coldly said, "Hannibal, too slow."

A group of people were pouring out of the stairwell not far away and quickly approaching this side.

Anthony was speechless.

No, is it really that much of a coincidence? It just happened like that?

Among the rapidly approaching group, the leader was a man dressed like an Egyptian pharaoh, carrying a double-edged sword; he was Deputy Commissioner Hannibal.

Behind him, besides the jailers, were monsters, beasts from the second level of the Beast Hell, including a few jailer beasts that had failed to awaken.

Beside Hannibal were several other high-ranking officers of Impel Down: the chief jailer, the warden, and a man wearing a military cap and smoking a cigar.

Shiryu of the Rain, the warden of Impel Down and practically the second-in-command, stopped and looked with interest at Magellan, whose chest was covered in blood. "To think he's been beaten so badly... did we come at the wrong time?"

"No, it's just in time."

Magellan took a deep breath. "Bandi Waldo is acting strangely. He's in my hands. Shiliu, you take the others and deal with the remaining prisoners."

"You're the director, so you make the decisions."

Shiliu shrugged.

"Everyone,"

Magellan raised his voice, "Put on your gas masks and prepare the antidote!"

"Huh! Does it have to go this far?"

Deputy Commissioner Hannibal paused for a moment, then frantically pulled out a gas mask. "Is it that powerful? Commissioner, you won't get killed, will you? Ah—if that happens, I can get promoted!"

No one paid any attention to the clowning deputy warden, and without any hesitation, the prison guards began to pull out their gas masks.

Then, Magellan exhaled, "Poison cloud!"

Purple mist suddenly spewed from his mouth, instantly transforming into a thick fog that enveloped the prisoners.

The prisoners' expressions changed instantly.

There's nowhere to escape!

Even a seasoned veteran like Bagingom was sweating profusely at this point.

Knight simply said calmly, "Didn't you hear? They have gas masks and antidotes over there."

The prisoners were stunned.

Knight raised his hand, and invisible matter condensed out of thin air. The spreading poisonous fog encountered an invisible barrier and was forced to part to both sides, leaving a clear passage.

"Charge!!"

Solt didn't hesitate at all.

The road has been cleared; now we can only move forward!

His figure vanished instantly.

The next instant, a path was forcibly cleared between the guards who were lined up in formation, and guards covered in blood flew everywhere.

Meanwhile, Salt had already snatched a gas mask from a prison guard and put it on his face.

Shiryu of the Rain turned her head in surprise.

How could it be so fast? He didn't even have time to stop it!

However, it's too late to catch up with him now, because even more people have already rushed over.

"Go to hell, you all!!"

The enormous bear, like a heavy tank, charged straight at the prison guards.

Behind him, the prisoners charged forward desperately.

"Let's start with you."

Shiryu looked at the large bear, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.

But in that very instant, one of the foolish sons suddenly slammed his right fist down, shouting, "Watch me crush you all!!"

The invisible ripples transformed into waves, blowing away all the jailers along the way. Even the largest beasts could only howl and spit blood as they flew away, forcibly clearing a wide path through the jailers' ranks.

"This guy!"

Shiryu's gaze immediately fell on Weevil.

"Shiliu! Stop him!"

Magellan gritted his teeth slightly. "I almost forgot, this guy is someone even Mr. Zephyr found troublesome!"

"Understood!"

Shiryu launched himself directly at Weevil, a fanatical smile spreading across the man's face. "Looks like I'll be able to have some fun today!"

"Go to hell!!"

Weevil roared, his right fist covered in dark domineering energy, an invisible shockwave surged, and he unleashed a powerful punch.

The next instant, fist collided with blade, the air exploded into rings of air waves, and Bakingom, who was following behind his son, was almost blown away. The ground also exploded, and the floor tiles were blown up, shattering and flying everywhere.

"Weebull!"

Barkingom was extremely anxious.

This guy with the sword looks really skilled!

But by then, no one cared about her anymore.

Anthony the Bear had charged into the ranks of the jailers, and with a single charge, he cleared out another group of them.

"You villain! Don't be so presumptuous!"

Deputy Commissioner Hannibal leaped up, his double-edged sword spinning like a moon as he slashed at Anthony.

"Get out of here!"

The enormous bear paw was pitch black, and like a fly swatting at a fly, it sent Hannibal flying with a single slap.

The poor deputy director was slammed against the wall not far away, like a painting, and couldn't get down.

Anthony had no idea who he had knocked away. He opened his mouth wide and bit down hard on a jailer beast. This poor guy was a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user who had failed to awaken and was devoured by his beastly nature. Although he had super strong recovery ability, he was screaming in pain at this moment.

A figure leaped into the air, followed by a rain of arrows.

A figure carrying a huge shield charged wildly through the crowd.

A figure brandished a battle axe stolen from a jailer, hacking and slashing wildly.

The battle was completely one-sided; gas masks were stolen one by one, and antidotes fell into the hands of pirates.

……

Magellan's face turned ashen.

Not good!

The prisoners who escaped from the sixth level were far too powerful!

In the midst of the chaos, he found it difficult to use his wide-range poison attacks!

"Poisonous pufferfish!"

Magellan spat out spheres of purple venom, which flew directly toward the group of prisoners.

Let's launch a precise attack!

However, these poisonous orbs had barely flown out when they collided with an invisible object and exploded.

"Where are you looking?"

Knight raised his hand.

Magellan's pupils contracted, and he threw a punch imbued with domineering power toward his side.

With a deafening roar, the invisible slash was shattered, the ground cracked, and the air vibrated.

It wasn't over yet. Magellan suddenly took a step back, dodging the slash coming from the other side, and then slammed his left fist, shattering the transparent blade coming from the front.

Magellan didn't just defend; one after another, poisonous dragons bared their fangs and claws as they pounced on Knight.

However, these poisonous dragons were blasted apart in mid-air in the next instant, unable to get close to Knight at all. There was nothing they could do; after all, it was just venom, and although the venom was potent, it lacked sufficient impact and strength.

What exactly happened?

What is this ability?

It's one thing to be blind, but the real problem is that it appears out of nowhere without any warning. Even with Observation Haki, the time available to react is pitifully short.

At this rate, there's no way we can get close to Bandi Waldo!

Magellan took a deep breath.

"Poison Giant Soldier!"

An unprecedented red venom flowed from Magellan's body, completely enveloping him.

The red venom coalesced into a giant, skeletal monster. Just by standing there, it corroded the ground at a visible speed, creating a huge crater.

"Oh?"

Knight raised an eyebrow.

Did they pilot a Gundam?

Knight tentatively projected an invisible giant sword and slashed it at the poison giant soldier.

Just before it struck, a dark, domineering aura enveloped the area where the giant poison soldier was about to be hit, and then the invisible giant sword slammed down fiercely.

The invisible giant sword pierced into the body of the poison giant soldier, but not by much; the domineering aura greatly reduced the damage of the giant sword.

Then, the greatsword was corroded and could no longer reach Magellan.

Instead, the giant skeleton punched down, directly corroding and shattering the transparent barrier Knight had created, forcing him to jump backward to dodge.

Red Skull's fist slammed into the ground. The hard ground was now like tofu, allowing the poison giant's fist to penetrate easily. Then the earth began to shake and shatter, the sky and the earth shook, and rocks flew everywhere.

Tsk, the red toxin is indeed much more potent than the purple venom.

"In that case—"

Knight slowly exhaled.

Since the physical body is absent, the projection power that can be exerted solely by consciousness is limited to this extent, and it cannot shake Magellan in this form.

If my original body is still here, I should be able to give it a try—hmm, if I think about it that way, I should have the strength of a Shichibukai, right?

not bad.

Since that's the case, then let me show you, Magellan, my fist, which is full of sincerity.

Hidden inside the giant poison soldier, Magellan, who had piloted a Gundam, was slightly taken aback when he saw Bandi Waldo take to the air.

An unseen behemoth appeared beneath his feet.

However, Magellan soon saw it.

Because Knight infused his domineering aura into the object beneath his feet.

The invisible behemoth was tinged with a faint black.

"That is?"

Magellan doubted that he had seen correctly.

Because it is a Buddha statue, a Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue!

Knight crouched down and placed his hand on the top of the semi-transparent behemoth at his feet.

"One Hundred Forms of Guanyin".

Momo Fruit, activate!
