One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

Because of their duty, they were not yet aware of what had happened at Marineford.

Right now, I'm seriously slacking off.

however--

A sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from overhead!

"Um!?"

A prison guard instinctively looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting—

Several figures descended from the sky like gods, carrying a suffocating pressure, and floated lightly into the port of Impel Down!

"W-Who are you!?"

The prison guards instantly erupted in chaos, frantically raising their weapons and pointing them at the figures, their voices trembling with barely concealed excitement:

"Halt! This is Impel Down, the deep-sea prison directly under the World Government! Trespasser—"

Before he could finish speaking, V chuckled and pushed up his glasses.

His voice was calm and composed, yet carried an undeniable air of authority:

"Let's deal with the smaller fish first."

"it is good!"

The Straw Hat crew responded in unison.

The next second—

A powerful aura, strong enough to change the color of the sky and earth, suddenly rose from the Straw Hat crew, Shiki, and Moria simultaneously!

That is--

One in a million chance of having... Conqueror's Haki!

boom--!!!

Like an invisible giant hammer crashing down, the entire port ground trembled slightly under that overwhelming force!

The air seemed to solidify into a heavy block of lead, carrying a sense of oppression from the depths of the soul, sweeping outwards like a tsunami!

The prison guards' pupils contracted sharply, their hands barely having time to pull the triggers of their guns—

Their bodies were like puppets drained of all their strength; their eyes rolled back, and one after another they collapsed to the ground.

And this is just the beginning!

As the powerful aura of the crowd coalesced and spread, the entire space of the port seemed to become distorted.

The seawater surged and the waves rolled backward, as if even the ocean was trembling under that oppressive force emanating from the depths of the soul.

The domineering aura no longer lingered on the surface of the port, but rather, like an invisible torrent, it surged forward, layer by layer, along the cracks in the outer walls, ventilation ducts, and stairwells of the Impel Down prison, into the depths of this deep-sea prison!

boom--!!!

boom--!!!

boom--!!!

The iron bars of each cell hummed under the weight of that domineering force.

Before the prison guards could even react, their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed to the ground one after another like puppets whose souls had been ripped out.

The prisoners were shouting, yelling, and banging on the iron bars when suddenly their voices stopped and their bodies fell straight down as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, crashing onto the cold ground with a series of dull thuds.

The first level – the Red Lotus Hell.

All the prison guards and prisoners fell into a coma.

The second level – the Hell of Ferocious Beasts.

Those ferocious beasts that were usually extremely vicious were now limp on the ground like tamed lambs, their breathing becoming weak.

The third level – the Hell of Hunger.

The cries of agony, pleas for mercy, and curses were utterly annihilated the moment the overwhelming torrent swept through.

In an instant, all the living beings on the first three levels of Impel Down fell into a coma!

"very good."

V stood at the edge of the harbor, pushed up his glasses, and glanced at the fallen figures, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

He raised his hand to his temple and said to Ivankov again:

"The first three floors have been cleared; you can prepare to have someone take over."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Ivankov's reply and strode forward.

"Next... as long as we get rid of Magellan, the director on the fourth floor, this one of the three major agencies under the World Government will be completely at our disposal!"

V and the Straw Hat crew strolled leisurely through the gates of Impel Down, heading deeper into the prison.

As for the Conqueror's Haki that the Straw Hat crew just released!?

That wasn't a biological force field that V had created before.

It is truly the kind of Conqueror's Haki that only those with the highest caliber in the One Piece world deserve!

That's right!

With the supply of abundant resources and countless simulations and experiments, V finally succeeded in deciphering some of the mysteries of the soul.

Based on this, he developed a groundbreaking technology that could overturn the world's entire understanding of technology—

Technology that allows anyone, even living beings, to possess Conqueror's Haki.

From now on, "Conqueror's Haki" will no longer be an exclusive possession of kings, appearing only once in a million chances.

Although the strength of Haki still varies from person to person, it fluctuates depending on each person's mental strength, willpower, and combat experience, with some being stronger and others weaker.

But at least—

The rarest and most precious power in the world of One Piece has now been reduced to a dirt-cheap price in V's hands!

This technological achievement will certainly not be limited to the core members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

It will inevitably spread to every department, every fleet, and every organization under the Straw Hats' command with unstoppable force.

It won't be long—

They will bring the whole world an unprecedented and enormous surprise.

Chapter 242 Chopper VS Magellan

After passing through the deathly silence of the first three floors, the Straw Hat crew's footsteps echoed in the dimly lit corridor.

The group descended, passing through the heavy iron gate on the fourth floor—

The fourth level: the scorching hell.

When the Straw Hat crew pushed open the heavy iron door to the fourth floor, a wave of scorching heat rushed out, carrying the smell of sulfur and scorched earth, instantly dispelling the lingering chill of the first three floors.

The entire space is like a giant furnace, with crimson magma flowing slowly in the channels on both sides, making bubbling sounds. Occasionally, bubbles burst, splashing hot magma droplets that leave scorched marks on the walls.

The iron corridor glowed red from the intense heat, and the air was thick with a suffocating heat.

however--

Just as the Straw Hat crew stepped into the fourth floor, a series of hurried footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

That was the sound of leather shoes stepping on a scorching hot iron plate, rapid and heavy, carrying an uncontrollable shock and anger.

The next second—

A massive figure, as large as a mountain, suddenly burst out from around the corner.

It was none other than Magellan, the warden of Impel Down.

When he saw those familiar figures standing at the entrance to the fourth floor—

His pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly stopped, his leather shoes screeching against the scorching hot iron plate.

"The Straw Hat Pirates!?"

Magellan's voice trembled with disbelief, and his狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face was now filled with shock and astonishment:

"Why is it you guys?!"

His gaze swept over V and the others one by one.

Those scarlet eyes churned with undisguised horror.

Unlike the ordinary prison guards who had been knocked unconscious by Conqueror's Haki—

As the warden of Impel Down, Magellan watched the entire live broadcast of what had just happened in Marineford.

From the sudden appearance of the Straw Hat crew to the destruction of the Knights of God, and then to the floating island that carried them away...

Every scene was now etched into his mind like a brand.

And that is precisely why—

Only then did he realize more clearly just how terrifying the group of people standing in front of him truly were.

"Long time no see, Director Magellan."

V's voice rang out lightly, with a hint of mockery, as if he were simply greeting an old acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time.

He pushed up his glasses, his white coat swaying gently in the scorching heat, making him appear incredibly composed.

Magellan's face instantly turned ashen, his crimson eyes surging with barely suppressed rage and horror.

He gritted his teeth, the sound almost squeezed out from between them:

"Damn it! I knew you pirates were all bad!"

His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and purple venom seeped from the pores of his skin, dripping onto the scorching iron plate with a hissing, corrosive sound and emitting acrid white smoke.

Clearly, he was ready to fight the Straw Hat crew.

But V still looked completely innocent:

"Hey, what are you doing?"
