One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

Chopper's voice carried a hint of smugness as he gently shook the antlers on his head:

"My fungus has already become one with the venom in your body."

"The more you stimulate the venom, the faster it will multiply."

"It won't be long—"

He paused, a sly smile playing on his lips:

"Your Poison Fruit will temporarily 'lose its effect'."

"Of course, this is only temporary."

"If you don't release the poison gas or venom for a long time, they will die naturally because they don't have enough nutrients."

"but--"

He wrinkled his nose, and his round eyes gleamed with confidence.

"Then you'll have no choice but to give up your Devil Fruit powers and fight me with your bare hands!"

Magellan's face darkened completely.

He looked down at the purple-green fungi swirling around him. Those tiny creatures were frantically sucking his venom with an almost greedy attitude, like a swarm of maggots clinging to his bones, impossible to shake off no matter what he did.

His bloodshot eyes churned with unprecedented anger and humiliation.

He, the warden of Impel Down, was actually forced into such a predicament by a mere mascot of the Straw Hat Pirates with a single move!?

“As expected of a bastard who could wreak havoc in Marineford!” Magellan’s voice was deep and hoarse, as if squeezed from the depths of his throat. “But do you think—this will make me surrender?”

The moment he finished speaking, Magellan clenched his fists tightly. His muscles bulged, veins popped, and an aura far more violent than before erupted from his body.

That wasn't the power of venom, but pure—dominance!

Armament Haki - Harden!

His arms and torso were covered in jet-black Armor Haki, which reflected a cold luster in the scorching air.

Magellan took a step forward, his foot pressing a deep imprint into the iron plate beneath his feet, sending rubble and lava flying to both sides.

“Just as you said—I can’t use Venom for the time being.” Magellan’s voice carried an almost maniacal resolve. “But don’t forget, I’m still the warden of Impel Down! Even without my Devil Fruit powers, with just my physical skills and Haki, I can—”

Before he could finish speaking, a white afterimage appeared before him like a ghost.

Chopper's figure traced a smooth arc in mid-air, his body displaying astonishing flexibility and explosive power in Nika form.

A calm light shone in his eyes, and a gentle smile played on his lips: "Too slow!"

The next instant—Chopper's right hoof, imbued with jet-black Armament Haki, slammed into Magellan's abdomen like a heavy hammer!

The power of the Nika Fruit is still far too overpowered!

Although Chopper is not the true chosen one, he is still not someone Magellan, who has lost his Devil Fruit powers, can stop!

Magellan's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively tried to dodge—but Chopper was too fast!

The hoofprint landed on him almost the instant he reacted.

boom--!!!

A dull, deafening roar exploded in the scorching hell.

Magellan's massive body was struck head-on by a speeding train; he was thrown backward, tumbling several times on the ground and smashing through several supporting pillars before finally coming to a stop amidst a spray of rubble and lava.

Chapter 244 Entering the Infinite

"cough--!"

Magellan struggled to lift his head, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and horror.

The power of that attack actually pierced through his Armament Haki defense and shook his internal organs!

“Impossible…this power…” His voice was hoarse and trembling.

Advanced application of Armament Haki!

This is a force that even he, the Director of Impel Down, whose official rank is equivalent to that of a Navy Admiral, has not yet fully mastered!

Chopper gently landed back on the ground, white steam swirling around him.

He tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with pride:

“I told you—you can't use Venom for the time being. And without Venom, Commissioner Magellan—”

He paused, recalling V's usual trashy quotes:

"—He's just a prison guard with decent physical skills."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chopper disappeared from the spot again.

Magellan gritted his teeth, suddenly flipped himself up, clenched his fists, and his entire body was once again covered by dark Armament Haki.

He roared and charged towards the white afterimage—

Don't underestimate people!!!

Two figures collided violently in the scorching hell!

The sound of the Armament Haki clashing echoed like thunder throughout the entire floor, making the iron railings hum and causing ripples to spread across the lava pool.

However—it only took three rounds.

Chopper's figure darted and dodged Magellan's punches like a nimble swallow.

Every dodge was perfectly timed, as if he had anticipated Magellan's attack route.

Immediately afterwards, his right hoof, once again imbued with the dark Armament Haki, struck Magellan's chin with a sharp, unexpected angle.

Click—!

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.

Magellan's jaw shattered from the blow, and his body fell backward like a puppet with its strings cut, crashing heavily to the ground.

The scorching stone slab beneath him radiated intense heat and sizzled, but his eyes had rolled back, and he had completely lost consciousness.

Chopper gently landed beside Magellan, looking down at the massive body.

He raised his right hoof, gently pushed up his hat, and a smug smile appeared on his lips:

"It's done!"

"Well done, Chopper," V's voice came from the end of the corridor, tinged with approval.

Although Chopper immediately sealed Magellan's strongest power, he was able to easily defeat Magellan through sheer physical combat alone...

This is enough to prove that Chopper has never let his guard down during this period of time.

This is what allows the powerful effects of the prosthetic body to shine.

V pushed up his glasses, his white coat swaying gently in the scorching heat. "With Magellan down, Impel Down is completely devoid of anyone who can stop us."

"Let's go."

He grinned.

"Let's get to the sixth floor quickly, I can't wait!"

The Straw Hat crew walked through the corridors of the scorching hell, heading deeper into the abyss.

Of course, V didn't forget either...

The unconscious Commissioner Magellan was taken to a quiet control room to recuperate.

The Venom-Venom Fruit, if used properly, is a Devil Fruit ability that even the Four Emperors would avoid.

Placing such talent on Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, would be a waste.

Let's ask them for help to take the power of this Devil Fruit to its highest level.

……

……

The sixth level of Impel Down—Infinite Hell.

This place is completely different from the five floors above.

There was no scorching lava, no ferocious beasts, no howls of hunger, and no corridors filled with poisonous fog.

There was only silence and darkness.

The air was thick with a musty smell, a mixture of rust, mold, and dried blood, so oppressive it was suffocating.

The iron railings on both sides of the corridor are several times thicker than those on any of the floors above, and each railing is made of highly concentrated sea stone.

It is strong enough to withstand the impact of any Devil Fruit user.

Behind the iron bars were rows of cells of varying sizes.

Each cell houses a legendary prisoner who once stirred up towering waves on the sea.

Any one of them, if placed outside, would be enough to prompt the Navy Headquarters to deploy at least three Vice Admirals.

But at this moment—their hands and feet were all bound by chains, and time was constantly draining their strength and will.

bang-

The heavy iron door leading to the sixth floor was suddenly pushed open.

The heavy clanging of metal echoed in the empty corridor, like a hammer blow to everyone's heart.

In the darkness, pairs of cold, eerie eyes suddenly opened.

Those gazes, like the pupils of a nocturnal beast, carried vigilance, scrutiny, and... a hint of madness.

"Ok?"

A hoarse voice, as if it had crawled out of a grave, rang out, carrying a hint of doubt and mockery:

"Wasn't Magellan the one who delivered the food today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, more eyes lit up in the cells on both sides of the corridor.
