After that are the commonly seen layers one to six, as well as the additional 5.5 layers that were excavated.

The lower you go, the higher the level of the criminals are.

The problem involved therefore needs to be discussed from the perspective of "virtuality" itself.

Xu can be roughly divided into two levels: 'Xu' and 'Da Xu'.

The Great Void is divided into three levels.

The lowest level among them is the 'big hollow' named 'Kilion', which is formed by the accumulation of hundreds of hollows - but this statement is wrong.

In order to fill the lost heart and satisfy his hunger for souls, Xu devours human souls.

Occasionally, there will be such extremely strong desires of the void, and these voids will begin to devour the souls of other voids.

The Hollows that seize each other's souls will naturally gather together and devour each other. After that, the souls will merge together, losing their individual consciousness and turning into lower-level Hollows with huge spiritual power, huge bodies, and low intelligence, "Kilion".

And if, when they devour each other, one of them has abilities and self-awareness far exceeding the others, a rare species will emerge that will not lose its individual will even if it transforms into Gillian.

That rare species will devour other Killians and continue to evolve.

Finally, it will evolve into an intermediate-level Hollow - Yachukas.

If Yachukas does not continue to devour the same level of Hollows, he will have the possibility of degenerating into Killian.

And after degeneration, they will 100% lose their individual consciousness and will never be able to transform back into Achukas.

The highest level Great Hollow 'Vastold' that evolved later also needed to devour continuously in this way, but - as long as a part of its body was eaten by a Great Hollow of the same level, the Hollow would stop evolving.

Moreover, even if one continues to devour and prevents his body from being devoured by others, he may not necessarily become a Vastod.

The ability to become Vastod might have been determined long before becoming a Great Hollow, or even as soon as becoming a Hollow.

——And Golden Lion Shiki is naturally aware of this kind of thing.

Aizen Sosuke had already told him this a long time ago.

In response to this, Golden Lion also gave his own answer.

"In other words, to become a Great Hollow one needs a stronger desire than others! One needs stronger abilities and self-awareness than others, and a talent that far exceeds that of others."

"exactly."

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha——!!!” Shiki the Golden Lion laughed: “Isn’t this great! I am Shiki, the great pirate Shiki the Golden Lion! Naturally, I have stronger desires than others, and more powerful abilities and self-awareness than others!”

The Golden Lion crushed the cigar in his hand: "Very good. I didn't feel anything at first, but after listening to you, I am sure that being a virtual being is more suitable for me than being a human! I am the one who can stand at the top and become the king!"

Swallow everyone, turn everyone into nutrients for your own evolution, and then stand above all of them!

"Let me go to the sixth floor!"

"The sixth floor?" Aizen Sosuke said, "You have to know that even if I put some people with potential on other floors, the sixth floor is still the strongest and the most difficult."

"Then, naturally, the one coming out of the sixth floor is the strongest." said Shiki the Golden Lion with a grin.

".You can understand it that way."

"That's no problem, I'm the strongest!"

So, Shiki the Golden Lion went to the sixth floor——

Other people you value:

Douglas Barrett, who was known as the Devil's descendant, was sent to the fifth floor.

The fourth floor was left to Magellan, so it was not touched. Now Magellan is still in the toilet, but as long as the arrangements are made, he can become a virtual being at any time.

The third floor was reserved for Bondi Waldo, who was known as the 'World Destroyer'.

The second floor was reserved for Baroric Redfield, also known as the 'Red Lord'.

Aizen thought about it for a moment and decided who was on the third floor between Redfield and Waldo. Redfield currently did not have the ability of a devil fruit and was not a user of special abilities. He also did not necessarily have as strong desires as Bondi Waldo.

And for those who have not yet become Achukas, the strength of their power may not be as strong as their desire, so they are placed on the second level.

The last layer was reserved for a criminal captured by Aizen Sosuke - Crocodile!

Crocodile was at his peak at this time, and he had not wasted his time searching for ancient weapons - in fact, he had already made preparations in this regard.

But now there is no Seven Warlords system, so he is hiding deeper.

"Damn Aizen—" Crocodile gritted his teeth and looked at the figure in front of him.

His arrest was not even reported in the newspapers, and no one in the navy knew about it. His arrest was carried out secretly by Aizen Sosuke.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing you, and I brought you to Impel Down on purpose." Aizen Sosuke looked at Crocodile, who was pinned to the ground by other jailers with seastone handcuffs on his hands, and said with a smile: "Try to live up to my expectations."

"Who cares about your expectations, you bastard?" Crocodile said gritting his teeth, but he couldn't help feeling powerless in his heart.

He has been traveling across the sea for some time.

But this is the first time I have encountered such a feeling of powerlessness. It is too strong. Much stronger than I imagined!

"Okay, let's get started."

"Ah——!" Crocodile felt a slight pain in his neck, and saw someone next to him giving him a shot in the neck and injecting something into his body.

"Okay, enjoy it from now on." Aizen Sosuke said with a smile.

He was then thrown into an empty cell.

"Very strange." Crocodile frowned slightly. He knew a little about Impel Down, and according to common sense, he should have been thrown to the fifth floor (most people didn't know the existence of the sixth floor of Impel Down).

But now it’s just thrown to the first floor?

And all the people who have appeared so far seem to be the subordinates of Aizen Sosuke, the guards of Impel Down? Why would those guards listen to an "outsider" like Aizen?

"It seems that something happened inside the navy that I don't know about." Crocodile gritted his teeth as he looked at the handcuffs on his hands.

He didn't think for too long.

It's not that I figured out the answer, but the situation suddenly changed.

A key suddenly fell in front of my eyes!

With a 'ding-dong' sound, the key fell in front of him.

At the same time, a voice began to resound throughout the entire Impel Down City: "Prisoners, your shackles are now in front of you, so try your best to struggle."

Chapter 111: Golden Lion Transformation

Chapter 33: The Golden Lion Transforms

Crocodile was startled and tried to pick it up and use it, and sure enough, his handcuffs were opened!

"What's the matter?"

Crocodile subconsciously touched his neck, where he had just received an injection not long ago, although he didn't know what it was for.

But anyone who is not a fool knows what the conspiracy is.

The fourth floor

"What on earth happened!?" Magellan ran out of the toilet and shouted to Den Den Mushi: "Who gave the order!?"

"It's me, Director Magellan."

"Vice Admiral Aizen?" Magellan looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand and said in shock, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

Om-!

At this moment, Magellan felt a huge pressure, and along with this pressure, it seemed as if something in his body was stirring.

"Uh-huh-!"

Magellan originally thought that what he vomited out would be his lunch or something, but in the end, what he vomited out was a large piece of white unknown substance.

These unknown substances were still entangled on his body.

And—his attempts to expel this thing with poison were completely useless!

"what happened?"

Not only Magellan, but everyone in the prison, including the jailers, was injected with the 'voiding potion', but this potion required something to activate it.

This something is 'powerful spiritual pressure'.

As the injection process was completed, Aizen first gave the criminals their keys, and then after the doors were almost opened, he released his spiritual pressure and completed the "awakening" of everyone.

“Hoooooooooooooooooooo——!”

"Oh oh oh——"

Fujitora, who was standing next to Aizen, smiled and clearly heard the roars coming from each floor.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see Aizen's expression at this moment, and not just his expression. His observation Haki could see everyone's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, and he could "read minds" to a certain extent, but all of this was ineffective against Aizen.

He seemed like a careless person.

Although I don't know whether he actually has no feelings or he is hiding these feelings in some way.

Now, he understood clearly when he heard shouts from everywhere, that was the birth of countless "voids".

How many criminals are imprisoned in Impel Down?

I'm afraid it's hard to count.

And this time the production of the Hollow was not completed in one go. In fact, Aizen planned to rebuild the sixth floor of Impel Down.

Now, the strongest virtual beings are born on the sixth floor, but later, he will make the weakest virtual beings appear on the sixth floor.

And build a 'virtual cavity' there, and then send a large number of captured pirates in through the Golden Lion's 'Merveille'.

Of course these people will become virtual.

Afterwards, these voids devoured each other, with Killian heading for the fifth floor and Achukas heading for the third and fourth floors.

This makes it easier for them to devour each other.

The best among them, Aizen, would use the Hogyoku to turn them into "Arrancar".

Such a backup base is completed.

Let’s go forward a little in time and turn our attention back to the Golden Lion Shiki.

"I really miss it." Shiki the Golden Lion looked at a cell that had been occupied by other people. This was his former cell. "The legs that have been with me for decades are now here. It's a pity that they seem to have been cleaned."

“Hey, hey, hey! Who did I think this was? Isn’t this the Golden Lion——!”

"Hahahaha! Why are you back again?"

"Wait, why are you standing over there?"

"You didn't break in, did you?!"

"Golden Lion! Golden Lion! Let me out! I will be your subordinate--!"

"It's so noisy." Shiki the Golden Lion held a cigar in his mouth and glanced at the other prisoners: "The chirping is so annoying, but useless people like you can only keep on making noise like this."

"What did you say!?"

“Damn it! Let me out—!”

"I am going to kill you!"

The Golden Lion ignored these guys who would become his "food" in the future, and sat down casually in the aisle of the corridor.

Then he focused his attention on the two blades on his legs, which were his two famous swords "Ying Ju" and "Mu Ku", and slowly untied the entanglements on them.

Then he gritted his teeth and pulled out the two knives!

Tick.

Blood spurted out from the broken legs. These two knives had become his "legs" for several years, and the wounds that had long since healed were now festering again.

“Hahahahahahaha——” Golden Lion sat on the ground holding two bloody knives and tried to swing them a few times: “It turns out that I feel more comfortable using my hands!”

"crazy."

The other criminals looked on in amazement, totally unaware of what was happening.

Today, many criminals from the sixth floor were taken out, and then Golden Lion Shiki returned to the sixth floor alone, and no one stopped him or detained him.

Not only that, what he is doing now seems like suicide, it's too crazy.
