And Akira, who was in the cell, slowly raised his head after hearing Jinbe's voice. What first came into everyone's eyes was a pair of eyes as bright as shining stars. When Luffy and the others saw these eyes, for some reason, their hearts trembled, as if they had seen a deep darkness.
"After waiting for ten years, this moment of leaving has finally arrived. Jinbe, it's been a long time."
When Jinbe saw these eyes and heard this voice, he immediately said happily, "It really is you, Akira! You're really still alive! Pops will be very happy if he knows."
Akira said, "It's me. Let's not say so much for now. After being trapped here for ten years, my bones have rusted. Hurry up and help me open them so I can properly feel the air of freedom."
Jinbe said to Luffy and the others, "Luffy, please help us."
Ivankov nodded to Lightning, and then Lightning used his ability to cut open Akira's cell, and then helped Akira cut off the chains on his body one by one. It took a full few minutes to cut off all the chains on Akira's body.
As soon as the chains were cut, Akira's body immediately fell to the ground. Fortunately, Jinbe was quick-witted and supported Akira, asking with concern, "Akira, are you alright?"
Lightning, the Revolutionary, said, "Sixty percent of the bones in his body are dislocated, and they're connected to the chains. I can't help him either, because if all the chains are removed, his bones will only be damaged. So, those chain fragments are still left in his body. Unless he has surgery, they can't be completely removed."
Speaking of this, Lightning said with a face full of emotion, "It's truly hard to imagine that he's still able to live after being injured like this."
Akira was supported by Jinbe, twisted his fingers a few times, and then a smile appeared on his lips, laughing self-deprecatingly, "After not moving for ten years, my body has indeed rusted. It's actually so difficult to control."
Crocodile said coldly, "It's already not easy for you to be alive. You still want to stand up?"
Akira laughed and said, "Crocodile, if you think that way, then you're underestimating me too much. Did you really think that I was just spending my time in despair after being locked up for ten years?"
"What do you mean?" Crocodile looked at Akira in confusion.
Akira gently pushed Jinbe away, and then actually stood there alone. They only heard his body bend slightly, and under the shocked gazes of several people, he suddenly shouted loudly.
As Akira shouted loudly, they only saw iron blocks rapidly fly out of his body. Along with the flying chains, there were also countless bloodstains. In just a few seconds, his body was already covered in blood.
Lightning shouted in disbelief, "How is that possible? He actually used his own power to shake off the iron blocks and fragments in his body! How painful must that be?"
"Puh."
A mouthful of blood was spat out from Akira's mouth, and then he knelt on the ground again. However, he said with a smile, "It's much more comfortable now. These things were really troublesome to leave in my body."
Slowly standing up, although Akira's condition wasn't very good, his eyes became brighter.
"Everyone, if it's convenient, could you find me some new clothes? I've been wearing this outfit for so many years, and I'm already sick of it. And it looks so creepy."
Akira's appearance looked very terrifying, covered in blood, and this prison uniform had already been worn for so long. He used to be a very clean person, so he had long been unable to stand this prison uniform.
Jinbe asked Akira, "Akira, you've been here the longest. What should we do next to escape?"
Akira said, "If we want to escape, there's no other way. There's only one way, and that's to fight our way up one level at a time. After all, all of our actions are being watched by others."
Jinbe said worriedly, "But your current condition..."
Akira shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Although I'm injured now, it doesn't affect my actions. We must get to Marineford as quickly as possible. The war between Pops and Navy Headquarters shouldn't take too long to start. We can't delay."
"Right, we need to hurry and save Ace," Luffy shouted.
"Crocodile, I'm counting on you," Ivankov said to Crocodile.
Crocodile glanced at Ivankov unhappily, and then used his ability. Large amounts of sand rapidly gathered towards the roof. Because of Akira, one of Crocodile's hands hadn't been destroyed, so he was a little stronger than in the original story.
Under Crocodile's control, a large hole quickly appeared in the roof. Luffy immediately shouted excitedly, and then rushed up through the hole.
After Akira rushed to Level 5.5, Newkama Land, he immediately found a clean set of clothes to change into. Then, the group of six, along with the others from Newkama Land, came to the fifth level, preparing to head towards the fourth level.
After changing clothes, Akira's mental state improved a lot. However, the injuries that had existed on his body for ten years couldn't be recovered in a short time. However, he wasn't worried. As long as he got to Navy Headquarters, he would be able to use the Death God Blade to quickly recover from his injuries.
"Now that we want to leave Impel Down and go to Navy Headquarters, there's only one choice, and that's to fight our way up one level at a time, and then seize the Navy warships outside. Only in this way can we pass through the Gates of Justice. But time is very important to us, because there are only a few hours left before Ace is executed."
Among these people, Akira was the most knowledgeable about Impel Down. In addition to his knowledge of the original plot, he immediately analyzed the current situation.
"Then what exactly should we do?" Luffy asked anxiously.
Akira said, "Although Impel Down has a lot of jailers, those people are not worth worrying about. Our real opponents are actually only two people, one is Magellan, and the other is Shiryu of the Rain."
Ivankov said, "Magellan's poison is very powerful. His combat power is not much worse than that of a Navy Admiral. Shiryu of the Rain's swordsmanship is very strange. He has killed many prisoners over the years and is also a very difficult opponent."
Akira said, "Shiryu of the Rain has a conflict with Magellan, which is very beneficial to us. So, the biggest enemy we have to face is Magellan. His poison is indeed very terrifying. I'm afraid few of us can withstand his poison, so try to avoid fighting him as much as possible. Anyway, our purpose is just to leave here, and we don't need to risk our lives."
Although he hadn't fought Magellan, he had seen Magellan suppress Infinite Hell several times over the years. Magellan's strength was very strong. Although he wasn't as good as a Navy Admiral, he was much stronger than a Navy Vice Admiral. Among these people, unless he got the Death God Blade, he could defeat Magellan. Otherwise, even Jinbe and Crocodile would definitely not be Magellan's opponents.
"However, I'm afraid we'll encounter some other more troublesome guys."
Akira's expression was somewhat solemn. He remembered that the Blackbeard Pirates in the original story had come to Impel Down to find companions. If he encountered Blackbeard, he didn't know if he could control himself from not taking action. After all, it was Blackbeard who had caused the Whitebeard Pirates' current difficult situation.
"No matter what, let's set off now."
Led by Akira and Luffy, the prisoners, along with a group of people from Newkama Land, quickly headed towards the fourth level.
When Akira and the others rushed to the fourth level, waiting for them was a large group of jailers.
Luffy shouted, "Get out of my way!"
However, how could those jailers get out of the way? Looking at Akira and the others who were rushing up the fastest, they all gripped their weapons tightly.
"If you don't get out of the way, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Luffy shouted loudly and was about to take action. However, Akira stopped him with one hand. Luffy said, "What are you doing?"
Akira said, "You guys helped me get out, so I haven't been able to move for a long time. Leave these people to me."
Saying that, Akira walked to the front of those jailers alone. There were as many as hundreds of jailers, but Akira didn't show any nervousness or fear on his face. Instead, he was calm and collected.
