Chapter 171 Magellan VS Barrett
"The captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, and a former apprentice crew member of the Roger Pirates, Shanks."
"By order of the World Government, you are to be taken to Marineford immediately. This is your final journey."
Magellan's deep, majestic voice, coupled with his legendary, demonic physique, created an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Those who know him well know that this seemingly terrifying man actually has autism.
He can only work four hours a day; the rest of the time he either sleeps and eats or stays in the toilet, where he defecates for at least ten hours.
This makes him dislike bright, open spaces and prefer to stay in dark, enclosed spaces.
……
He was still somewhat apprehensive about being ordered to personally escort Shanks to Marineford.
It's been too long since we've seen the sun... Let's set off early and try to deliver it before sunrise.
……
The Naval Headquarters, Impel Down, and Enies Lobby are located at the three apex of an underwater vortex.
A round trip by normal sea navigation would take weeks or even longer, but with the help of special ocean currents, it can be done in just a few hours one way.
The reason for choosing this location was that if one location were attacked, the troops in the other two locations could quickly provide support, achieving a "trinity".
……
……
Shanks did not answer, calmly watching the jailer unlock the intricate prison doors with trembling hands.
When all the prison doors opened, Magellan himself stepped forward to pull the chains.
Just as his hand was about to touch the chain link—
Click!
A snapping sound rang out, and shredded chains flew everywhere!
Shanks shot out, a black and red lightning bolt shooting from his fingertips, its destination unknown.
But... he came to an abrupt stop just before reaching the prison door.
Above the prison gate was a deep purple poison net, the dripping venom emitting a strong odor.
"Paramecia-type - Venom-Venom Fruit - Poison Web!"
……
Magellan turned around unhurriedly: "I've said it before, since I became warden, no one has been able to escape Impel Down."
"Red-haired Shanks..."
"You wouldn't like to die from poisoning; it's extremely painful."
……
Shanks turned around and smiled faintly, "I can't deal with your poison, but there is someone else who can."
"Barrett!!"
What!
Magellan's pupils constricted sharply upon hearing the name, and his expression changed drastically.
……
"Don't talk to your men like that, you little bastard!"
boom!!!!!
A cell next to it exploded with a roar, and a figure like a steel giant burst through the smoke and dust.
This...this is impossible!!
Did Shanks just use some method to break Barrett's Seastone chains?!
Magellan didn't have time to think and raised his hand towards Barrett.
"Poison Dragon!!"
A gigantic purple venomous dragon instantly materialized and roared as it lunged at Barrett.
……
Barrett's muscles bulged, and a wild, excited smile spread across his face.
During his years in prison, he endured the powerlessness caused by sea stone every day through intense training, unlike other prisoners who were weak and powerless.
Having just regained his Devil Fruit powers, he was certain that he was stronger than he had been back then!
Carrara —
The scattered rubble and fragments on the ground quickly adhered to Barrett, forming a thick layer of black armor.
Paramecia type - Fusion Fruit.
The ability to arrange and combine all inorganic substances to form a single entity.
As a child, Barrett used this ability on the battlefield to create an inexhaustible supply of weapons from rubble and iron blocks.
……
Peng! ! ! !
The venomous dragon crashed into the prison, the violent impact causing it to tremble violently.
Click,
A corner of the thick black armor broke off, revealing half of Barrett's face.
"Heh heh heh... Poison is ineffective against inorganic matter, Magellan..."
Magellan took a deep breath, his body churning with venom, and more venomous dragons began to coalesce.
"Barrett...none of you are leaving here today. You'll all be executed right here!"
tumultuous--
A poisonous dragon lunged at Shanks. In such a narrow space, he had nowhere to escape. With a low roar, he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki to strike the poisonous dragon.
For the time being, the poisonous dragon was kept away, but the poisonous gas in the air had already entered the nasal cavity.
"Barrett!!"
……
"Stop making so much noise... Don't call my name!"
The stone slabs in the prison corridor were lifted up, coalescing into a giant fist that shattered the poison net on the prison gate.
Shanks seized the opportunity and broke out of the cell.
"Don't even think about escaping!!"
The poisonous dragon roared as it charged toward Shanks.
Barrett appeared instantly, standing between the two.
Without dodging or avoiding the oncoming poisonous dragon, he unleashed a powerful punch, his gauntlets, covered in Armament Haki and composed of shattered stones!
Boom! ...
The venom splattered, and the shockwave cracked the solid stone floor.
……
Thanks.
Before Shanks could finish speaking, his figure blurred into a blur and sped away.
Barrett stood in the middle of the passage, laughing maniacally at Magellan, whose face was ashen: "Hahahaha!!!! Warden, warm up with me for a bit, I've been locked up for so long, my bones are practically rusting!!"
……
"If it's rusty... let it melt."
Unlike the purple venom from before, bright red, blood-like venom gushed from Magellan's body, forming a skeletal giant.
"The Poisonous Giant - Judgment of Hell!"
A few drops of bright red venom flowed into the cell, immediately eliciting a bloodcurdling scream, heart-wrenching and agonizing.
Soon, in about two seconds, the screams stopped.
It's not that it doesn't hurt, it's that it's dead.
……
Those imprisoned here are all vicious and ruthless pirates, yet they died so quickly...
Barrett raised his head and grinned: "Awakening, huh... This is the first time I've seen you use this. As the first opponent to emerge, you've passed the test, Magellan."
"I don't have time to argue with you..."
Magellan waved his hand, and the crimson skeletal giant behind him simultaneously raised his hand, unleashing a torrent of venom.
Carrara —
More and more rubble and iron blocks converged on Barrett, piling up layer upon layer of armor.
A devastating battle between two monsters has begun.
-
-
Even from a great distance, Shanks could sense the roar and massive energy fluctuations coming from behind him.
I hope Barrett is alright...
Shanks was running towards the exit of the sixth floor when suddenly the wall next to him twisted and two figures crashed out of it.
Thump—thump—
"Couldn't you pick a better spot? You always end up hitting the ground!!"
A cool, clear female voice rang out.
"Haha, the sweetheart who built this park didn't leave a map, please be understanding, Beckman~"
Beckman!?
……
Shanks didn't want to cause trouble, but upon hearing this name, he stopped and looked back.
They met the gazes of the two who had just gotten up.
One of them is the Transvestite King from the Revolutionary Army, Shanks has seen the wanted poster, the other...
He had long, slicked-back silver-gray hair, a cross-shaped scar on his forehead, and wheat-colored skin.
She is a tall, slender, and stunningly beautiful woman.
……
"Beckman...?"
Shanks met those familiar eyes and quickly recognized the essence of the soul, but...
Beckman, a woman?!
……
"Shanks!!"
Beckman (gender-swapped) exclaimed in surprise, "You escaped on your own!?"
Then what about the sacrifices I made, old lady?!
……
"Run and shout, 'Let's go save the others!'"
Ivankov led the two of them between the sixth and fifth floors.
A hundred years ago, a giant was imprisoned here and used the power of the Push-Push Fruit to create a prisoner's paradise that resembled an ant nest between the two levels.
Ivankov has now transformed it into a "new human paradise," recruiting prisoners willing to join the revolutionary army.
……
"Really..."
After learning what had happened, Shanks didn't know what to say, so he forced a smile and nodded to Ivankov: "Anyway... thank you, Lord Ivankov."
Ivankov blinked. "Shanks, would you like to try it? You'll love it!"
"No no no no!!" Shanks twirled his hand with one hand.
……
"I found this, but Yasopp and the others aren't in Impel Down." Beckman threw a knife over.
Although the gender has changed, there is no obvious change in personality; the person remains calm and wise.
Snapped--
Shanks caught his beloved knife, Griffin, and listened as Beckman continued.
Beckman, a cigarette dangling from his lips, said grimly, "Everyone else except us is being held at Marine Headquarters. They're to be executed today!"
Shanks' pupils contracted, but he smiled again in just a second.
"Is that so... It seems I still have to go to Marineford."
