Faced with this man named Shano...
After the other side got serious, was he really completely defeated by only three punches and a kick?!
"No need to worry too much, he won't die."
Shano spoke, glanced at the keychain on Magellan's waist, but didn't pick it up. After looking around, he fixed his gaze on the stairs leading to the next floor:
"Now, there should be no one to stop me, right?"
The next floor is the Extreme Cold Hell, mostly imprisoning pirates with bounties around 100 million Belly. There's no reason to linger there; in the crevice below, in the so-called 5.5th floor, is where Ivankov, Inazuma, and others are.
In terms of stance, they are allies on the same front.
But as for Newkama Land, it's really off-putting, and it's truly puzzling why this band of the Revolutionary Army has been lurking in such a place for decades without venturing out.
Dragon's plan, perhaps?
No matter how you think about it, it's too strange.
In short, if Ivankov doesn't come out to see him on his own, he has no interest in going out of his way to find him at this time.
Let's head straight to the bottom floor. With this thought, Shano moved forward, heading towards the stairs.
Pa.
At this moment, a bloody hand struggled and tenaciously grabbed onto his ankle.
Hmm?
Shano looked down to find that, somehow, Hannibal had crawled to his feet, using all his strength to lift his head and rasping:
"The Chief fell, but... I'm still here, hey, pirate, I, no matter what... won't..."
Before he could finish.
Hannibal's head lolled to the side, fainting.
Previously pierced through the thigh by the Flying Finger Gun without any treatment, losing too much blood, sustaining until now was already his limit.
Clearly at this age, pulling off something like a hot-blooded youth series, making me look like some kind of ultimate villain...
Shano shook his head speechlessly, gently moved Hannibal's hand aside, and continued towards the stairs.
Along the way, the prison guards he encountered backed away in terror, trembling with fear, wanting nothing more than to merge with the walls, not daring to step forward to obstruct him.
...
Level 6, "Infinite Hell".
This is the most terrifying and mysterious place in Impel Down, imprisoning countless heinous criminals capable of shaking the world, some even legends of a bygone era.
The World Government deliberately erased their names from history, over time, many have been forgotten by the sea.
At the end of the dark tunnel.
Rumble~
As Shano, unimpeded all the way, pushed open the heavy steel door and stepped into this prison, he was hit by a mixed, foul air of blood and decay.
The torches on the walls flickered unsteadily, casting his shadow long.
In the cells on both sides near the exit, pairs of crimson eyes lit up instantly, glancing over.
"Hmm? Just this morning a blonde chick came in, and now someone else is being sent in so soon?"
"Really, people can't get any peace even to sleep… huh, wait, this kid came in alone, doesn't seem like a criminal, tsk, is he a newly recruited guard at Impel Down?"
"That would be quite bold, hehe, those who dare enter the 6th floor alone are only Magellan and Shiryu, even Hannibal nearly wets his pants after we tease him a bit."
"Newcomers are often this arrogant, hey, kid, haven't your superiors warned you that the 6th floor isn't a place for rookies like you to just waltz into!"
Shano ignored the taunts of these prisoners, his gaze calmly scanning the cells on both sides, searching for Bevony's figure.
But, just as he took a step forward—
"I'm talking to you, dare to ignore me, hey! Looking to die, kid!"
Buzz!
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the right cell, pressing fiercely towards him!
Supreme King Haki!
And this was just the beginning.
Like a domino effect, over ten prisoners followed suit, unleashing their own Supreme King Haki, intertwining and colliding in the air, surging towards Shano.
Causing the entire 6th floor's air to rumble and tremble!
"Hahaha, kid, feel the power yet?"
"Except for those two monsters, this is a domain where the other guards dare not easily tread!"
"If you can't withstand it, kneel and beg for mercy, maybe then we might spare you!"
The prisoners' wild laughter echoed in the dim dungeon.
Supreme King Haki is rarely found even among a million people, and even in a place like the New World, it's extremely rare.
But here on the 6th floor, it's nothing special!
However.
When they saw Shano's reaction under the faint light of the torch, their laughter abruptly ceased.
Shano remained standing, not a hair out of place, as if these Supreme King Haki didn't exist at all.
When he glanced up, a deep disappointment emerged in his pitch-black eyes.
"Is this all you've got?"
He spoke softly, not loudly, but every prisoner heard him clearly, "Turns out those imprisoned on the 6th floor are nothing but a bunch of losing gambles."
The next moment—
BOOM!!!!
A pressure ten times more terrifying than the combined Supreme King Haki of the prisoners exploded from within Shano!
Black-red lightning surged like an angry dragon through the entire 6th floor, the ceiling and floor began to crack, and the torches on the walls instantly extinguished!
"Wha…what?!"
