Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

This shows just how terrifying Shanks is; he was able to wipe out an entire fleet of naval soldiers all by himself.

If such a person truly holds a grudge against you, you'll probably never be able to sleep peacefully again.

But some soldiers would use their violence to mask their fear of Shanks.

A soldier struck Shanks twice on the back with his long stick and shouted:

"Stop spouting nonsense. Think about whether you can even get out of Impel Down before you try to threaten us!"

The naval soldier spoke with great confidence, but it was all because of his fear of Shanks, and he was using his words to mask his unease.

But the more he did that, the more he was deceiving himself. In fact, the naval soldier knew this too, even though he spoke so fiercely.

0. Requesting flowers.......

But if Shanks really escapes Impel Down, he will surely be restless and unable to eat or sleep.

Shanks, being quite sensible, didn't continue speaking; he knew that some things weren't effective simply by being said.

Once Captain Shiraishi arrives at Impel Down, these soldiers will realize that what he said wasn't just empty talk.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so naval soldiers had brought Shanks into Impel Down.

Meanwhile, Shiraishi Xiu was rushing to the Sabaody Archipelago. He was satisfied with his speed and not much time had passed before the Sabaody Archipelago came into view.

Because they had forgotten one of their destinations, Shiraishi Osamu took another step and increased the ship's speed.

The small boat was beginning to break down due to the excessive speed.

Fortunately, Osamu Shiraishi managed to reach the Sabaody Archipelago without any major incidents.

When he moored the ship and entered the harbor, a young girl was already waiting there.

But Shiraishi Osamu was unaware of this and dutifully planned to leave the port. All he could think about now was to get out of Shanks' port as soon as possible.

Chapter 0532: Before Arrest

"Captain Shiraishi!"

Shiraishi Xiu heard someone calling him from behind, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He was certain he had never heard the voice before, so he didn't know who it was.

For this reason, he continued walking quickly forward, seemingly searching for the way to Impel Down, but at that moment the voice behind him rang out once more:

"Captain Shiraishi, wait a moment, I'm waiting for you here!" "973"

Finally, Shiraishi Osamu turned around and looked at the woman.

The newcomer was a young woman with short black hair, wearing a top with a spider pattern, and was currently smoking a cigarette.

Senior Brother Bai sized up the young woman who kept changing her name and asked:

"Who are you? What do you want? You'd better have something to say, or I won't let you leave so easily!"

Shiraishi Osamu's tone was full of threat, something he never usually did, but he was just too worried about Shanks right now.

Moreover, this woman recognized him, so there's a chance she was also from the World Government, and there's a high possibility she had other purposes for being here.

But it was clear that Shiraishi Xiu was overthinking things. The young woman threw away her cigarette and slowly walked towards Shiraishi Xiu, saying softly at the same time:

“My name is Shakky. I run a bar in the Sabaody Archipelago. I know that Shanks has been captured, and I’m sure you’ll come to rescue her. I’m staying here to wait for you!”

After hearing the woman's answer, Shiraishi Osamu was also very puzzled. The news of Shanks' capture should not have been leaked to the Marine Headquarters yet, so how did he know?

Beckman learned all this from Shanks himself before his arrest. If what the woman said is true, then his information network is truly amazing.

"How can I believe you're telling the truth, instead of those damned bastards at Marine Headquarters pretending to be here waiting for me?!"

"After all, the Navy has done quite a few things like this!"

After hearing what Shiraishi Xiu said, Shaki shook his head helplessly and continued:

“Rayle is a regular at the bar I run, now you can believe me?”

Shiraishi Xiu stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes darting around as if he were lost in thought.

He might be wondering about the woman's identity, or he might be wondering if what he said was true.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Shiraishi Xiu decided to listen to what the woman said this time.

If what he said is true, I can save a lot of time.

Although Shiraishi Osamu also knew about Impel Down, the prison used by the Marine Headquarters to imprison those heavyweight pirates.

However, there is a route from the Sabaody Archipelago that he does not know, and if Shaki leads the way, he can save a lot of time.

"Well, since you know Rayleigh, and he sent you, then you'd better lead the way. I need to rescue Shanks before he's imprisoned in Impel Down."

"Also, how did you know that Shanks was captured by the Navy in Chapter 3.9?"

Even now, Shiraishi Xiu is still worried that these guys might have deliberately set a trap for him.

But Xia Qi was clearly displeased. He looked at Bai Shixiu without saying a word, and his expression instantly fell.

Shiraishi Xiu knew that even if this guy was deceiving him, he had no choice but to go with him now.

Chapter 0533: Impel Down

"Captain Shiraishi, you should believe me that I am absolutely not with those marines!"

"The bar I run on Sabaody Archipelago is frequented by all sorts of pirates, so I know more about the Grand Line than your Marines do!"

Shaki refers to Shiraishi Osamu as a Marine here because Shiraishi Osamu is a Marine Admiral.

"Regardless of whether you're a Marine or not, if you really are and are staying here to lure me into your remaining traps, then I advise you not to bother."

"As you yourself said, since you are so well-informed, you should also know who I am!"

"You, a mere bar owner, can't possibly cause any trouble in front of me. You should be very clear about that!"

The shocking change in Shiraishi Osamu's demeanor and every word he uttered was filled with threat.

Xia Qi was very dissatisfied with what he heard and stared coldly at Bai Shixiu.

"Captain Shiraishi, if you want to rescue Shanks, you must prepare a fast enough ship in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Because Impel Down is located in the Calm Belt, all ships there would lose a lot of power! Most importantly, many Sea Kings live around there!" With Shaki's explanation, Shiraishi finally calmed down, recalling Impel Down's architectural structure to find the safest way to rescue Shanks. Shiraishi, having been a Marine Admiral, was very familiar with what Shaki was saying; he knew Impel Down's security facilities better than anyone.

Impel Down is a massive, tower-like structure submerged in the sea, with its foundation on the seabed.

That's why it's known as an underwater prison.

Because Impel Down is built in the Calm Belt, the entire Impel Down is surrounded by giant sea kings, and the prison is only protected by a single naval warship.

In the dark areas of the prison, there are various cells and torture chambers for prisoners.

These cells were made of seastone to prevent prisoners with Devil Fruit abilities from escaping.

Surveillance Den Den Mushi were deployed at specific locations throughout Impel Down.

Whatever they see is transmitted to a larger surveillance Den Den Mushi, which then sends the video to the monitors connected to it.

This facilitates surveillance by guards. Each smaller Den Den Mushi has an alarm buzzer connected to the guard post.

Impel Down also has a medical laboratory, located somewhere in the Great Impel Down, equipped with doctors and various medical devices, capable of immediately treating anyone in the prison, including prisoners and staff.

How can Shanks be rescued most safely when advancing so tightly and without any gaps?

After thinking for a long time without coming up with any better solution, 977 Shiraishi Osamu decided to force his way into Impel Down.

Although Impel Down's security is very tight, with his strength, escaping from it shouldn't be too difficult.

As for the sea monsters around them, they were even less of a problem.

What Shiraishi Osamu feared most was that reinforcements from other naval forces would arrive quickly.

By then, he will be fighting alone and will also need to take care of the dozen or so wounded brothers, so he may not be able to spare any time for others.

"Shark, if I rescue Shanks and want to leave Impel Down safely, is there any way to do so? Like, is there a shortcut?"

Chapter 0534: Someone Came to Pick Us Up

"There's no shortcut. There's only one road to Impel Down, but I have a way. Captain Shiraishi, just follow me!"

Shaki thought for a moment, not expecting that Shiraishi Xiu had mentioned a shortcut to Impel Down.

However, Shiraishi Osamu was also curious about her method. What kind of method could allow her to enter the impregnable Impel Down?

After all, Shiraishi Osamu was well aware of just how terrifying this prison, which held countless prisoners and pirates, was.

As a former admiral, he had dealt with many of these criminals.

He knew there was no shortcut to Impel Down, but Shiraishi held onto a sliver of hope that the humans living around Impel Down would somehow find a way.

Even Shiraishi Osamu knew that it would be almost impossible to sneak into Impel Down undetected.

Once you step into that prison, it's very difficult to leave. The surrounding area is windless, and ordinary ships simply cannot sail on it.

Moreover, because it is located in a windless area, it has many sea monsters.

The bottom of the naval headquarters ship has an object that makes sea kings feel at ease.

Only in this way can they avoid attacks from those sea monsters.

Otherwise, if an ordinary ship were to casually enter the vicinity of Impel Down...

Before the Impel Down defenders could even notice them, they had already been torn to pieces by those sea monsters.

"Then tell me quickly, how are we supposed to sneak into Impel Down II!"

Shiraishi didn't want to alarm the Impel Down garrison too much. If Shanks and his other brothers could be safely rescued under Shaki's leadership, he might as well use the method Shaki suggested.

However, if Shiraishi Xiu discovers that Xia Qi is deceiving him, he will not let him off just because Xia Qi is a girl.

After hearing Bai Shixiu's words, Xia Qi didn't rush to reveal his solution. Instead, he turned to Bai Shixiu and said:

"Captain Shiraishi, don't rush me to leave!"

"Ok!"

Shiraishi remained silent while playing chess. He didn't reveal his method, nor did he draw any further conclusions. Instead, he followed behind Shaki.

After walking for more than 10 minutes on a road, Shaki signaled to Shiraishi Xiu to quietly hide behind a corner.

This place turned out to be a sea route that was the only way to get to Impel Down. At this time, the gates around Impel Down had not yet been opened, so they had no way to enter.

After both of them had concealed themselves, Xia Qi finally spoke:

"Captain Shiraishi, please wait here for a moment. We'll be going in shortly!"
