Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Ice Block - Tyrannosaurus Beak!" Upon seeing Shiki, Aokiji didn't waste any words and immediately unleashed his signature move.

A giant ice bird flew towards the golden lion, but before it could strike, the golden lion left and entered the next level.

"Keep chasing!" Aokiji stepped forward and immediately continued the pursuit.

"They're like a persistent ghost!" Golden Lion hadn't run far when he saw the Navy chasing after him again!

Fortunately, Shiki was quite fast and maintained a certain distance from the Marines, so even Aokiji couldn't catch up with him.

"General Aokiji, what should we do? If this continues, the consequences will be unimaginable once Golden Lion releases the criminals inside!" Lieutenant General Fire Mountain, who had been following behind Aokiji, frowned and said.

"Don't worry! This is Impel Down, he won't be able to rescue the prisoners so easily!" Isaac, who came down with them, added.

"Hmm?" Aokiji glanced at Isaac. He was starting to doubt Isaac. Impel Down, which was known as an impregnable fortress, had been ruined by Shiki and Reyna. If they had arrived any later, Impel Down might not even exist anymore!

“The prisoners on the sixth floor are all serious offenders. Their cells are made of sea stone, and even a golden lion wouldn’t be able to easily destroy them. As for the key to the sixth floor’s cell, only I have it, and I always carry it with me!” Isaac said, taking out a bunch of keys from his waist and speaking softly.

"Phew~ I see!" Upon hearing Isaac's words, the naval officers all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be careless. Just in case, everyone speed up!" Aokiji was also slightly relieved. If Golden Lion really managed to rescue the prisoners from here, the world would be in for a surprise!

This must never happen, otherwise they will all be sinners.

However, Isaac forgot one thing: the Golden Lion escaped from the sixth level back then, so how could he not know the situation on the sixth level?

So when Aokiji led his men to the sixth floor, his scalp began to tingle.

"How is that possible? You don't have the key, there's no way you could open the cell so quickly!" Isaac said, looking at the Golden Lion in disbelief.

"Hahahaha... Fool, do you think these guys are being held in these cells? If it weren't for these Seastone chains, do you think they could be kept in there?" the Golden Lion laughed.

The matter is not complicated. All the Golden Lion has to do is free them from their chains. As for how to get them out, they have plenty of ways.

So when Aokiji and the others arrived, Shiki had already released at least half of the prisoners.

"Guhahaha... I really didn't expect this! There's actually a time to come out, Shiki the Golden Lion... I didn't agree to your request, you're the one who wanted to release me!" A swirl of yellow sand rose up, avoiding the seawater flowing into the prison, and then the sand slowly transformed into Crocodile's appearance.

"Captain Shiki, as agreed... you'll have to take care of my drinks from now on!" A tall, dark figure emerged from the darkness, chuckling as he spoke.

“It’s Barrel Bucks Jot!” Lieutenant General Doberman said, his face grim.

"Hehehe... It's time to go out and get some new clothes. This work uniform is really... ugly!" The Moon Hunter, Katarina Depon, also emerged from the shadows with a laugh.

“These are all troublesome figures! This time… it’s really bad!” Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan said with a bitter expression.

"Hoo~ Everyone... prepare for battle, we can't let them walk out of here today!" Aokiji said with a grim face.

"Yes!" All the naval officers perked up and replied loudly.

These prisoners have just been released from prison, and their strength and stamina have not yet recovered to their peak condition. If they escape, it will be extremely difficult to catch them again.

"Golden Lion... Shiki? With your strength... you shouldn't be able to break through Impel Down, right? What exactly happened outside?" Just as the two sides were about to fight, a slightly aged voice suddenly rang out.

"Who?" The Golden Lion was in high spirits at the moment, and was naturally very unhappy to hear such remarks.

But when he saw what the other party looked like, his expression changed, and he said, "This time, I cooperated with Reiner of the Whitebeard Pirates to launch a feint attack on the Marine Headquarters and then a surprise attack on Impel Down! We didn't originally intend to come and release you, but after Sengoku challenged Reiner to a duel and was defeated, he had his subordinates take action. Naturally, that kid Reiner was unhappy, so he sent me down to release you!"

Chapter 533 Legends Gather

Through the Golden Lion's explanation, the prisoners suddenly realized that there was a reason why the Golden Lion had taken such a great risk to come and save them.

"So I said before, it's just you guys, but you have to help us leave this place. And you're doing this for yourselves too! Otherwise, even if you get out of the prison, you won't be able to escape!" Golden Lion nodded and continued, "As for after you leave, whether you want to develop on your own or join my Flying Pirates, it's up to you!"

"Heh... The Navy... still prefers to use such methods!" The aged voice rang out again, and he slowly walked out.

"The great pirate... Barrorick Redfield!" Upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, Admiral Aokiji, who was standing at the front, changed his expression and said in a deep voice.

Although Barolorick Redfield looked like a gaunt old man at this time, Aokiji still dared not underestimate him.

"Oh? Someone actually remembers my name? Little guy... who are you?" Barrorick Redfield looked at Aokiji and asked with a smile, "Sengoku was defeated by Reina up there? Where's Garp? Where's Sora? Where are they?"

"I am Admiral Aokiji Kuzan of the Marine Headquarters!" Even Aokiji dared not be careless in the face of the legendary great pirate.

In order to capture the other party, Marshal Kong personally took action. The two fought for ten days and ten nights. In the end, Kong was defeated, but the other party was also exhausted and was successfully captured by Vice Admiral Garp who went with him.

During this period, Garp would not have known anything if Aokiji hadn't been by his side the whole time.

Because the incident was not honorable, the Navy did not publicize it extensively, and the then Fleet Admiral Kong Kong chose to retire not long afterward because of it.

"Admirals? Who retired? Sengoku? Zephyr? Or Garp? Right, they must be getting on in years!" Barrorick Redfield frowned and asked.

"No matter what, today... I will absolutely not let you leave here!" Aokiji took a deep breath and said.

There's no way around it; these people are too famous. If they all ran away, the world would really be in chaos.

"Hahaha...Stop me? You think you can stop me?" Barrorick Redfield laughed loudly, then reached out and grabbed an elite naval soldier next to him, biting the man's neck.

"Who...who exactly are you?" Fire Mountain General asked with a chill down his spine as he watched the other party sucking the blood of his subordinates.

"Who am I? Hahaha... You'll find out soon enough!" After drinking his fill of blood, Barolok Redfield's appearance began to change, transforming from a gaunt old man into a very young man.

"This is really... a huge problem!" Although Aokiji didn't understand why the other party had become younger, it was clear that the other party had recovered to their peak fighting strength.

Even in a one-on-one fight, Aokiji couldn't guarantee he could defeat his opponent, let alone with so many other pirates eyeing him.

"Hahahaha... What did I just hear? Whitebeard? Reina? Golden Lion? Lone Red? This is so interesting. I thought the world would be a bit boring after the captain left, but I didn't expect you old guys to still be here! In that case... I'll go out and have some fun too!" At this moment, a tall, dark figure slowly emerged from the prison.

"Who is it this time? I'm getting numb to it all!" Lieutenant General Doberman said with a wry smile.

"It's you? You're still alive? Didn't I hear you got ganged up on by the Navy last time? How come you're still alive?" Shiki was stunned for a moment when he saw the person, then laughed loudly.

"Hmph, even if you die, I won't die! In this world... I am the strongest being!" The dark figure slowly walked out and said softly.

"How arrogant!" Crocodile, who was standing there, said somewhat displeased before the Navy could even speak.

"What are you? State your name! I never kill nameless nobodies!" the burly, dark figure said with disdain.

“Shakuro Crocodile!” Crocodile said in a deep voice, “And who are you?”

"I am Barrett! Douglas Barrett!" The burly man stepped out of the shadows, exuding an air of absolute authority, and said in a deep voice.

"It's him? Douglas Barrett! The guy who was once a crew member of the Pirate King Roger, the one known as the Devil's Heir?" Doberman had already prepared himself mentally, but when he actually heard the other person's name, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

One legendary figure after another appeared, shocking everyone. Even the instigator, Golden Lion, felt somewhat out of control.

"Everyone... now is not the time for infighting. Let's go out first, and once we're out, we can fight however we want! How about that?" Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Golden Lion quickly spoke up.

"Hmph, I'm not on your side!" Crocodile sneered.

His hatred for the Whitebeard Pirates and his resentment towards Reiner were considerable, which is why he was unwilling to help Reiner.

"I said... none of you can leave!" Seeing Crocodile turn into a cloud of yellow sand and prepare to leave, Aokiji stomped his foot, and a blast of ice chased after him.

Seeing this, the other naval commanders also took action.

"Interesting! Golden Lion, see you up there!" Upon seeing this, Douglas Barrett laughed loudly and charged towards the next level like a cannonball, knocking aside the naval officers in his path.

"Hahaha... Looks like I'll be seeing a lot of old friends today!" Barolok Redfield transformed into countless bats and flew up to the upper level.

"Captain Golden Lion, what do we do?" The tyrannical king Abaro Pizarro licked his lips, and together with Barrel Bucks Jot and Crescent Moon Hunter Katrina Devon, they looked at Shiki and asked.

"Hehehehe... What should we do? How can such a grand occasion be complete without me, Golden Lion? Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Golden Lion summoned a large rock that floated over. The group stood on the rock and roared, and Golden Lion then manipulated the rock to ascend rapidly into the air.

On the other side, Reina, who was entangled with Kizaru and the others, was getting more and more injured. If Kizaru hadn't been afraid that Reina would fight to the death, he would have already taken him down.

"Don't struggle anymore! You can't escape today no matter what!" Kizaru said softly, looking at Reina who still refused to give up.

“Hey…you want to catch me? You can’t do it without paying a price,” Reina chuckled and replied.

At this point, he had already canceled Hyōrinmaru's Bankai mode, and his weapon had been changed to Senbonzakura. He wanted to save his last bit of strength to escape after Bankai. He didn't want to hide in the Tower of Trials unless absolutely necessary.

But at that moment, an explosion suddenly rang out, and Reina sensed a powerful life force rapidly advancing from the bottom of Impel Down toward them.

"Hahaha... Yellow-skinned monkey! Looks like I won my bet!" Reina was overjoyed, knowing that the prisoners from Impel Down had been released; otherwise, ordinary people would never have such strong vitality.

"Is that so? But that has nothing to do with you! Yasakani no Magatama!" In the end, Kizaru couldn't help but attack Reina. Even if it cost him something, he absolutely couldn't let Reina escape.

"Use your ultimate move? I've been waiting for you! Time stop!" Reina yelled, his right Sharingan emitting a red light. Then, Reina took the opportunity to leap out of Kizaru's attack range.

He didn't use time stop during the battle, in order to protect himself.

Even if he had the opportunity to use it, he didn't!

He knew that even if he managed to injure Kizaru by stopping time, it wouldn't be of much use; it would only provoke Kizaru's killing intent and bring no benefit whatsoever.

The other lieutenant generals would not let him go either; unless they could kill him with a single blow, he would not easily use this move.

Sure enough, when Kizaru came to his senses, he found that Reina had suddenly appeared outside the range of his attack. He tried to adjust the range of his technique, but found that Reina was running in the opposite direction.

"Trying to leave?" Lieutenant General Dalmesia stepped in front of Reina, blocking his escape.

"Damn spotted dog! Next time I see you, I'll beat you into a mangy dog!" After the exertion just now, Reina's physical strength and energy were even more depleted, so even though he tried to dodge, he was still kicked by Lieutenant General Dalmesia.

"It's over!" While still in the air, Reina noticed that Kizaru had already come up behind him, his gleaming right foot ready to kick him.

"Hahaha... Isn't this Reina? Seeing you in such a disheveled state is truly delightful!" Just as Reina was about to enter the Tower of Trials to hide, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Oh!"

Immediately afterward, a burly black figure stepped between him and Kizaru, directly blocking Kizaru's attack for him.

"Cough cough cough... Barrett? It's you... Why are you here? I thought you had already gone to see Roger!" Reina, who was lying on the ground, naturally recognized the person who came. After coughing a few times, he asked weakly.

He naturally recognized the other party. The Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates had clashed many times in the past, and as an important member of the Roger Pirates, Reina was naturally familiar with him.

"Hmph! I haven't surpassed Roger yet, how could I possibly go see him? It's not too late to go after I've truly surpassed him!" Douglas Barrett said with a hint of displeasure.

"Oh my god~ This time, a really formidable guy has appeared!" Seeing that his light-speed kick had been blocked by someone who seemed completely unfazed, Kizaru immediately put on a headache-inducing expression and said.

"Hmph! Kizaru, you're still the same annoying person! Even more annoying than that kid Reina!" Barrett glanced at Kizaru and said disdainfully.

"You want to surpass Roger? Then take him down first! How can you surpass Roger if you don't take him down?" Reina egged on from the side.

“Do you think I’m an idiot? When did Roger ever kill a Marine Admiral? Even though he became the Pirate King, he didn’t defeat all the heroes on the sea! So if I defeat you all, then I will be the strongest pirate! That will prove that I am stronger than him! I think, the first one… should start with you!” Barrett stared at Reina and said seriously.

"Damn it! Who are these people? Why did Brother Shiki release you? To wipe out the pirates?" Reina looked bitter. He knew Barrett wasn't joking. The guy was strong, but he had some issues with his head. If he said that, that's definitely what he was thinking!

Chapter 534 The Great Battle Resumes

Looking at Barrett, who could attack him at any moment, Reina felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

Kizaru and the others on the other side looked very serious. Since Barrett had appeared, it could only mean that Aokiji's side had failed.

If all the prisoners in the city were to escape, the consequences would be too severe for any of them to bear.
