I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

He didn't say anything more, turned around, and faced away from Sieg.

"Now, it's all over."

Sig felt a sense of relief.

Impel Down is an insurmountable fortress for ordinary people, but not for him.

But at that moment, Akainu suddenly spoke up.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I don't think this is appropriate. There have been two prison breaks in Impel Down. The first was by Shiki, and the second was a group break-up orchestrated by Shiki, Whitebeard, and Sigurd."

“Sieg also has the ability to fly, so we must not let our guard down.”

"We'll need to add some safeguards if we want to keep Sig in custody."

"That's right," Kizaru chimed in at this moment.

"Although Sig is an Ability User, his resistance to Seastone seems to be stronger than that of ordinary Ability Users."

"During the Shattered Void incident ten years ago, he was handcuffed by Onigumo. Although he lost most of his power, he still had a little bit of the strength to struggle...including his final disappearance."

Akainu took a deep look at Sigurd, who was bound hand and foot, and suggested:

"Then, learning from Shiki the Golden Lion's experience, how about we bind his hands and feet firmly with Seastone shackles?"

With his hands and feet bound, he could not possibly escape by cutting off his own legs like the Golden Lion.

"Even if you could cut off both hands and feet, you would still die from excessive blood loss. Even if you survived after receiving treatment, you would be a cripple with both hands and feet severed."

After a moment's thought, Zhan Guo nodded.

"Do it this way."

The warship, which had not stayed at headquarters for long, set sail again, passed through the Gates of Justice, and delivered the wanted criminal with a bounty of five billion to Impel Down.

Chapter 1095 Garp's Face

A high-speed circular ocean current connects the three locations: Naval Headquarters, Impel Down, and Enies Lobby.

This circular ocean current is controlled by the navy, allowing for rapid movement, provided there is a Gate of Justice.

The warship set sail again, with Higuma and Akainu escorting Sig to Impel Down fortress.

Not long after setting off, they encountered a dog-headed warship heading in the opposite direction. On the deck stood a burly, short-haired old man, who was none other than Vice Admiral Iron Fist Garp.

"Did Mr. Garp go to Impel Down again?"

Akainu also arrived on the deck and nodded slightly to Garp in greeting.

“That’s right… I heard that the ship escorting Sig has arrived at headquarters, so I came back to check.”

Garp paused mid-sentence, his gaze shifting between Akainu and Higuma, before suddenly asking:

"The two of you went to Impel Down at the same time... If nothing unexpected happens, then Siegfried is in the prison on the ship, right?"

“Not bad.” Akainu nodded.

“Escorting Sig...you two are still too young, it's not safe enough. Besides, Higuma doesn't seem to have fully recovered yet, his aura isn't what it used to be.” Garp made the warship beneath him turn around, rendezvous with Akainu's warship, and headed back towards Impel Down.

“I will accompany you,” Garp said.

Akainu paused for a moment.

"Mr. Garp, are you planning to visit Fire Fist Ace again?" Akainu asked.

"What? You have a problem with that?" Garp didn't deny it at all, and even glared at Akainu.

"......No."

During Ace's imprisonment, Garp visited Ace the most, coming to Impel Down to visit him every day.

When Ace was born, Garp was busy with official duties and also wanted to avoid suspicion, so he spent very little time with Ace in Windmill Village in the East Blue.

After Ace went to prison, the grandfather and grandson spent more time together than Ace had ever spent in his life.

"Another Garp... This is troublesome." Higuma thought to himself, then opened his inventory and wrote down the matter in a note.

Inside the ship's cabin, in a prison.

At this moment, Sieg's hands and feet were firmly bound by sea stone shackles, making it difficult for him to move.

Even for someone who isn't a Devil Fruit user, Seastone is the most durable shackles, enough to cause Sigurd some trouble.

While shackled, these handcuffs cannot be directly placed into the inventory—the Dragonborn's inventory ability is derived from the game, and in Skyrim, you start as a prisoner; you can't just put the ropes binding your hands directly into the inventory. Furthermore, the explosive collars of slaves that Rayleigh could crush with his bare hands and that Sigurd could burn through were not made of Seastone. Also, Sigurd had already tested the Black Flame ability decades ago in the Holy Land's vaults, finding it inefficient at destroying such a hardened material.

"With Akainu and Garp on board... escaping won't be easy."

In prison, Sieg pondered these thoughts.

The Shadow Clone Sun Bear is essentially a reset, with its physical strength now similar to that of the original Sigurd, while its telekinetic power is about half that of the original.

A free SunGarurus, along with Higuma from Seastone Prison, working together to deal with Admiral Akainu and Garp...

"No, it's not just Akainu and Garp. This place is too close to Marine Headquarters. If we get bogged down here for a while, the Marines' reinforcements will arrive."

"Besides the extremely fast Kizaru, Fujitora's Gravity Fruit can also carry the admirals with him, so the reinforcements won't be slow."

Higuma now feels relatively safe; the prison can't hold him. It's not that he's stronger than Shiki, but rather that the Navy's methods of imprisonment are wrong. They're treating him like a Devil Fruit user—Seastone has too much of a restraining effect on Devil Fruit users. Even when Shiki was on Seastone, he was powerless to resist and could only break his leg to survive.

If the prison break fails, it will mean the exposure of Higuma's identity and the crucial information that Sig is completely unaffected by Seastone.

They will definitely take corresponding measures in time, and then they won't be able to escape.

Therefore... for Sieg, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he should consider it carefully.

"Is Ace imprisoned in Level 6 Infinite Hell? Since we're already here, we might as well go into Impel Down and rescue Ace while we're at it."

"Fine, I'll give Garp face this time."

Sig abandoned his plan to escape immediately.

Now, he has another thing to prepare.

Before being imprisoned in Impel Down, prisoners had to undergo sterilization in boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius.

For lower-ranking prisoners, this is like being skinned alive; for higher-ranking prisoners, while it may not cause serious injury, it is still a tough test of their strength.

"We can try the effects of the life restoration now."

Sig closed his eyes and began to attempt life return, infusing his consciousness into his body and trying to change his physical form.

..............

The navy, taking advantage of the high-speed ocean currents, arrived at Impel Down fortress in no time.

Clang, clang...

Heavy iron chains pulled open the heavy gates, where Impel Down Warden Magellan and a group of prison guards were already waiting.

When the warship docked, the appearance of Sieg and his men before Magellan and the others made the prison guards instinctively tense up, and sweat broke out on their faces.

Admirals Akainu and Higuma walked on either side of him, both with cold expressions and imposing presence.

Lieutenant General Garp walked casually to the side, his hands in his pockets.

Behind them were thousands of naval soldiers escorting the criminals, lined up in solemn rows.

The prisoner walking between the two generals was bound tightly with sea stone chains, his limbs firmly tied.

With each step he took, the chains binding him clanged and rattled.

He didn't show any particular expression on his face; he just walked on in silence.

But to others, this demeanor, coupled with his already renowned reputation, gave him an air of nonchalance.

"This is the Mountain Bandit King..."

"The notorious criminal who orchestrated the Impel Down war ten years ago... who even destroyed half of the Holy Land and Impel Down."

"Is he Sieg? He actually needs two generals to escort him..."

"...By the way, why is Vice Admiral Garp here again?"

The jailers on both sides had beads of sweat on their foreheads and their hearts were pounding.

Impel Down is the world's largest prison, holding countless vicious criminals, including even the Pirate King Roger, Shiki the Golden Lion, and Lone Red.

Even non-powered individuals like Roger and Redfield, who stood at the top of the sea, never encountered any problems back then, thanks to the advantages of the fortified city, seastone, and the calm zone.

But as the man drew closer, even with two generals beside him, Director Magellan felt considerable pressure.

After all... this man led a war ten years ago that caused them to lose face in Impel Down.

Sig and Shiki are the two people that Impel Down officials least want to face.

After a routine body search and being changed into a black and white prison uniform, Sieg was quickly led by the guards to the sterile boiling water pool.

Chapter 1096 The Invincible Bucket Number: Prototype

Bubbles rose continuously from the surface of the scalding hot water, which evaporated and turned into steam that hit the face, making it feel very hot.

Even before they got close, the prison guards could already feel the oppressive heat.

Akainu, Garp, and the others stood at a distance, their expressions unchanged and showing no unusual behavior.

Akainu added, "Be careful not to remove the Seastone shackles."

"Even if disinfection is required, the sea stone shackles must be placed in the pool along with the shackles."

Karp and the others didn't take the boiling water as a warning. For them, entering boiling water was just uncomfortable, not serious.

As for Sieg...

He took a deep breath, and his entire skin underwent subtle changes under the control of his mental consciousness... He had already made preparations back on the warship.

Without waiting for the jailer to urge him, Sieg took a step forward and jumped into the boiling water pool.

thump.

The boiling water quickly enveloped my entire body, and the burning and stinging sensation from the boiling water rapidly spread throughout my body.

Life is returned!

Muscles tensed, consciousness flowed throughout the body, and the skin seemed to thicken, rapidly transforming into a more resilient and heat-resistant form, as if a new, heat-resistant skin had been donned.
