Chapter 164 Ivankov: Beckman, as long as…
Gion and Kake quickly realized this.
On a battlefield unknown to others...
An absolute legend of a bygone era has died!
……
"My Den Den Mushi is starving, let me call Sengoku."
Allen opened the watch case, and the miniature Den Den Mushi inside was barely alive. He quickly asked for some food to feed it.
He had no idea how long he had been wandering around the frozen continent; he almost starved to death on the Den Den Mushi.
"Have someone look for the Floating Fruit; it's mine."
……
……
The two were stunned for a long time before they realized what Allen was talking about.
"Really...you really killed Golden Lion?!"
"That's a golden lion!!!!"
It can't be emphasized enough; as a legend on par with Roger and Whitebeard, the life and death of such a person have a tremendous impact!
……
A strange look flashed in Allen's eyes, and he shook his head with a slight smile.
"It's a pity that the legendary Golden Lion is long gone."
"What's dying now is just an old lion in its twilight years; it has nothing to be proud of."
……
……
"Such words..."
Jiaji swallowed hard, unsure what expression to make: "Not being proud of this... that's the greatest arrogance!"

"I see……"
Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.
Upon receiving the call, Sengoku fell into a long silence.
Outside the window, warships sailed into Marineford harbor, and a large number of naval elites from all over the world gathered to participate in this grand event he was hosting.
He closed his eyes, and the image of that wildly dancing blond figure emerged from the depths of his memory.
……
"I am the man destined to rule the world! Warring States Period!!"
During the era of the three legendary pirate crews, the Flying Pirates were the Navy's number one enemy.
Shiki is an ambitious, cunning, and terrifyingly powerful madman.
Compared to Roger and Whitebeard, he was the man who best fit the definition of a "pirate," gathering countless pirates with similar ambitions, and his power rivaled that of the former Rocks.
……
His Float-Float Fruit powers allowed him to look down upon all living beings like a god, and his ambition once kept the World Government's top brass up at night.
Even after being captured in Marineford, he was still able to laugh wildly.
"You can't hold me back! This era needs madmen like me!! Hehehehehe!!!"
……
So arrogant, so brutal, so obsessive, so...real.
As a naval admiral, Sengoku harbored intense hatred and loathing for Shiki.
But as a warrior, he harbored a deep-seated admiration for the pure, savage, and unrestrained spirit of the strong, even to himself.
……
That guy Shiki... he probably died laughing in the end, that's just the kind of person he is.
Being swallowed up by the tide of the new era is, in any case, much better than dying in some unknown corner.
If you remove one stroke from an enemy, you get an old friend.
The familiar old guys are all dead...
Zhan Guo took a deep breath and looked back at the documents on the table. There were still countless decisions to be made, and he had no time for sentimentality.
……

There are two days left until the execution of the entire Red-Haired Pirates.
Level 5 of Impel Down, the Frozen Hell.
slam-la-
The sound of chains rattling.
"Hehehe... Don't struggle in vain, you can't break free from these specially made chains."
"Even if you break free, it's useless. It's colder than an icehouse outside, and there are special military wolves. If you go out, you'll either freeze to death or be bitten to death."
With a toad-like mouth, arrow-shaped face, and huge, bright eyes, his head is bigger than his body. He's a bizarre character who makes you feel both psychologically and physically uncomfortable at first glance, and you'll never forget him.
Emprio Ivankov, one of the founders of the Revolutionary Army, commander of the Grand Line Army, and known as the Okama King.
Trapped face-to-face with him was none other than Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates.
……
Beckman stopped shaking the chains and looked at Ivankov.
"None of these are problems... Lord Ivankov, you disappeared several nights while I was asleep... You know the exit to the fifth floor, don't you!"
Beckman's statement was not a question, but a definitive one.
Ivankov narrowed his huge eyes, a dangerous glint in them: "If you don't sleep well at night, you'll be listless, Beckman, dear~"
……
"Enough with the small talk. Help me find Shanks and the rest of my crew, and I'll grant you any request."
"otherwise……"
Beckman leaned in and said, "I imagine the warden of this prison must be quite interested in your whereabouts."
……
……
"Hehehe, are you threatening me? Threatening the great King of the New Humans?!"
Beckman shook his head: "This is a partnership. As long as you help me gather my partners, I'm sure I can find a way to escape this underwater prison!"
To Beckman's astonishment, Ivankov's massive body shrunk to the size of a normal woman, easily breaking free of her chains.
He…she…anyway, Ivankov stood with his hands on his hips in front of Beckman, head held high, and said, “You think I can’t escape? I’m waiting for that man, the greatest revolutionary, the dragon’s command!”
"I'm lurking here to find more like-minded partners!"
"unless……"
Ivankov brought his face closer to Beckman's, grinning, "I really like you, if only you'd agree..."
"I'm willing to help you!!"
……
Upon hearing Ivankov's whisper, Beckman's expression changed drastically, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Even when faced with a dead end, he had never lost his composure like this!
……
……
long time.
Beckman gritted his teeth and said, "Okay... I promise you!!"
"Three years at most! If you don't recover by then, I'll kill you first and then myself!!"
"Hehehe... Don't be so resistant, you'll definitely like that feeling, Beckman, dear~~"

Impel Down Level 4 - The Scorching Hell.
Warden Magellan's office was on this floor, along with a kitchen and a granary.
The temperature on the entire floor was extremely high, like a giant iron pot filled with boiling pools of blood and seas of fire.
……
"The Pirate Empress? Heh heh, I wonder if she'll be any different from ordinary criminals when I chop her up..."
A burly man over three meters tall opened the cell door and looked inside at Hancock, who was bound by seastone chains.
Shiryu of the Rain, the warden of Impel Down, who, along with Magellan, is known as one of the "Twin Pillars of the Great Prison".
He had a wide chin and always had a wicked grin on his face when he smoked a cigar.
His favorite pastime was killing criminals for fun. Magellan had warned him many times, but he showed no remorse.
……
Even with chains around her, Hancock showed no sign of submission.
He gave a cold laugh.
"This disgusting hell is perfect for a rat like you from the gutter."
……
Shiryu took a deep drag on his cigarette, neither angry at the words nor captivated by Hancock's stunning beauty.
"As expected of the Pirate Empress, she remains so arrogant even in this state..."
"Then... let's cut off one of your hands first!"
"Will this face show a look of fear and pain?!"
Clang——
Shiryu approached step by step, his eyes filled with bloodlust.
……
He had just raised the knife.
A cold voice sounded from behind.
"Your head will fall off before I cut it off."
Shiryu's body suddenly stiffened.
It wasn't because of the verbal threats, but rather...
This killing intent, far surpassing his own, had frozen his body and soul!
