Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

For these ordinary soldiers, death was the only option.

Hannibal absolutely did not want to see the prisoners of Impel Down escape to the outside world and continue to harm innocent people.

But the jailers and marines of Impel Down were equally innocent, and he was equally unwilling to see the blood of these innocent people.

Under the command of the warden, the ordinary soldiers, who were already terrified of King Shiki II, put down their weapons.

"I like enemies who are willing to cooperate."

King Shiki II calmly walked to Hannibal's side.

He raised his right hand and summoned another wave of seawater, enveloping the unconscious Magellan beside him, leaving only the director's head visible.

Magellan's body was largely submerged in seawater, so even if he woke up, he would have no power to resist.

King Shiki II simultaneously controlled the steel serpent and the seawater prison, taking Hannibal and Magellan with him respectively, and openly walked towards the gates of Impel Down.

"Could you answer my question for the Commissioner, Hannibal?"

Under the watchful eyes of all the Impel Down jailers, King Golden Lion II asked with composure.

"Is the Transgender King still alive?"

"I have no idea!"

Hannibal wanted to spit on the Golden Lion II, but he only thought about it for a moment and then gave up the idea.

"The King of the Transgender might already be dead!"

"died?"

King Shiki II paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.

"Forget it, let's just go check out the 5.5 floor!"

5.5 floors?

Hannibal stared blankly at the Golden Lion II.

He had worked in Impel Down for so many years and had never known that Impel Down had a "5.5-story building".

　"You...have you come to the wrong place?"

Hannibal mustered his courage and spoke to the Golden Lion II.

"My Impel Down doesn't have a 5.5-story level."

"That's just because you haven't discovered it."

"Golden Lion II said casually."

"There are countless 'secret passages' within Impel Down, all leading to one destination—the 5.5th floor."

During their conversation, King Shiki II had already taken Hannibal and Magellan to the elevator lobby on the first floor of the sea, and then took the elevator directly to the fifth floor, the extreme cold hell.

The Golden Lion II spoke with such sincerity that Hannibal couldn't immediately tell whether he was telling the truth or not.

The moment you enter the frigid hell, a wave of cold air hits you.

A sharp red light flashed in the eyes of the Golden Lion II.

Meanwhile, Magellan, who was completely submerged in seawater, awoke in the biting cold.

He opened his eyes, looked around, and instantly realized where he was.

"Extreme Cold Hell..."

Magellan was completely enveloped in seawater and seemed to lack the strength to even speak; he appeared extremely weak.

"They've actually managed to infiltrate this place..."

Hannibal looked at Magellan, who had just woken up, and was about to say something.

The Golden Lion II, who was standing nearby, also noticed the director who had woken up.

"I'm sorry, Magellan, your power is too dangerous..."

Before Magellan and Hannibal could react, King Shiki II moved the mass of seawater slightly, immersing Magellan completely in the water once again.

"GuluGulu——"

Magellan expelled puffs of bubbles.

Then he choked on the seawater again, suffocated, and lost consciousness.

In an instant, another six-star system treasure chest jumped out from the void.

[Diamond Chest: Magellan]

Hannibal looked at Magellan, who had lost consciousness again, and a feeling of shared sorrow suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Magellan, don't die now... I'm still waiting to take back Impel Down from you..."

"arrive."

The words of the Golden Lion II immediately caught Hannibal's attention.

It was only then that he suddenly realized the temperature around him seemed to have warmed up.

This is no longer an extremely cold hell.

Instead, it's a secret passage from the extreme cold hell to the new transvestite paradise on the 5.5th floor.

"You're not needed for the rest of the journey."

King Shiro II threw Hannibal into a corner of the secret passage.

Without waiting for the other person to speak.

The Golden Lion II then controlled the giant steel serpent, gagging the warden's mouth as well, silencing his ability to speak.

Immediately afterwards, the unconscious Magellan was thrown next to Hannibal.

The Golden Lion II floated gracefully towards the end of the secret passage.

Hannibal glanced at the unconscious Magellan beside him, then at the figure of the Golden Lion II disappearing into the darkness, and several big question marks appeared on his mind.

No, this golden lion isn't going to kill me, is it?

Eh?

Hannibal suddenly paused, taken aback.

Why did he say "again"?

The Golden Lion II continued flying forward and arrived at the New Ladyboy Paradise without any problems.

His Observation Haki had already been activated when he entered the Extreme Cold Hell.

At that time, he sensed the presence of the Demon King.

This guy isn't "dead" as Hannibal said; he's alive and well!

It seems the Queen of the Transgender has pretty good survival skills...

New ladyboy paradise.

Emporio Ivankov, the King of the Transvestites, received a report from his subordinates that a mysterious powerful figure had broken into Impel Down from the outside, and the monitoring room had taken notice of his movements.

"He defeated Magellan so easily... What a terrifying man!"

As he looked at the still-warm, freshly printed photograph in his hand, Ivankov, the Queen of the Transgender World, gazed at the entrance to the new transgender amusement park.

"This man looks like the Golden Lion... and also like the person at the gate..."

"At the door!?"

Ivankov, the transvestite king, was startled and looked up again, staring incredulously at the Golden Lion II.

Without any warning or worry.

This guy just suddenly appeared at the new ladyboy amusement park!?

Why do you look like a ghost?!

Ivankov's mouth gaped open, his tongue stuck out, and his eyes bulged out.

"Golden Lion!!!"

"Ivankov, the transvestite king?"

The Golden Lion II looked at the shocked Okama King, chuckled inwardly, and greeted him with a serious expression.

“I’m Teach’s friend, I’m here to pick you up.”

"T-Teach?"

Ivankov stammered, showing none of the demeanor of a king.

"Which Teach are you talking about? Is it Edward Teach the Whitebeard II?"

The only "Teach" Ivankov knew was "Whitebeard Teach," whom he had briefly met a few days ago at the New Cabaret Park.

When that bastard Ian caused a ruckus in Impel Down, Ivankov didn't see Edward Teach and thought something had happened to him.

Just in the last two days, Ivankov received an old newspaper with a bounty poster for "Edward Teach".

When they first met, the other person was just an unknown nobody.

The second time they saw each other, the other person had become a super pirate with a bounty of nearly 20 billion Berries...

The only thing that puzzled Ivankov was that the newspapers referred to Edward Teach as "Whitebeard II" instead of "Whitebeard III" as he had previously known.

However, this minor issue was quickly dismissed by Ivankov due to the 20 billion Berry bounty.

Who cares which "generation" it is in the 300s, it's all the same anyway, it's all white beard!!!

But Ivankov never expected this.

He had only seen the news about Teach a few days earlier when one of Teach's friends arrived in Impel Down...

And Edward Teach's friend looks just like a young Shiki the Golden Lion...

"Yes, Edward Teach."

"Golden Lion II introduced himself."

“I am Ryan.”

“Teach’s abilities aren’t suited to taking you out, so I’m here.”

Ivankov didn't know much about the Golden Lion II's abilities, but based on the information just relayed back by the other transvestites...

This younger version of "Golden Lion" seems to have mastered the [Float-Float Fruit] ability that only the real Golden Lion possesses...

This ability is indeed quite suitable for escaping from prison...

Weird!

"Why did you come to Impel Down? Was it Teach's idea?"

Ivankov scratched his large face in frustration, his sharp nails leaving bloody scratches on his skin.

"I just can't figure it out! My brain and face are practically scratched up from all the scratching—yeah right!"

Ivankov grabbed his tattered face, pulled it off, and the man returned to his original appearance.

The Golden Lion II watched Ivankov's acrobatic performance without any reaction, and even felt a little amused.

"No, I just heard from Teach that you helped him a little once."

King Shiki II gave a simple explanation.

"I'm coming to Impel Down to find some prisoners, so I might as well take you with me!"

So familiar...

Ivankov blinked.

Didn't Teach previously say he wanted to "find a few prisoners" from Impel Down?

But was that "searching" for criminals?

The entire Infinite Hell has almost been wiped out by that completely insane jailer, Ian!

Now that Ian is gone, Teach is gone, and Ryan has arrived?

"Your goal is also the sixth level?"
