"Roman, help me rescue Ace!"
Luffy, who came to 'bother' The White Knight after treatment, said with a grin. Roman, who had just 'returned' from the other side, habitually rubbed his temples.
"It's not that easy,—you've seen Magellan's strength, right? Forget fighting, just encountering him is a disaster..."
"But I must rescue Ace!"
Facing Luffy's words, The White Knight nodded noncommittally.
"Alright, but with our strength..."
"I'll go with you, Straw Hat boy."
The large-headed, afro-haired Okama King walked over, "I'm a friend of your father Dragon, and I'm also a revolutionary cadre. I have a duty to help you."
The sea outside was stormy, it was time for a prison break.
"Inazuma, notify everyone—bring your weapons, get ready to move out!"
The so-called 'New Okama Paradise' was just a group of pitiful people surviving in the cracks of the prison. Who would want to live like a rat in the gutter if they could see the blue sky and white clouds? Moreover:After this prison break, if Impel Down still doesn't realize there's a 'layer' in the prison, it would be an insult to Marine's intelligence.
"In that case, let's move out too."
The White Knight put his arms around Buggy and Mr. 3's shoulders, who were ready to slip away, "Good brothers, let's fight Magellan together."
?
Don't drag us into your death wish!
No, this guy is just a fruit ability puppet, his real body is probably enjoying somewhere..."Hmm?"
Facing The White Knight's 'serious face', Buggy and Mr. 3 tearfully 'nodded happily'.
"No problem..."
Your fist is bigger, so you call the shots.
"Don't worry, we will definitely break out!"
Facing Luffy's toothy grin, Buggy and Mr. 3 seemed to see an angel!
As for the devil, it was undoubtedly The White Knight with all his schemes.
"Head to the sixth level—"
---Meanwhile, on the sixth level.
"Portgas D. Ace, it's time to go."
"The previous commotion..."
Facing Ace's words, the tall Magellan calmly replied.
"Just a few rats, they've already been poisoned—"
"Now they're hiding in some gutter, barely clinging to life. My men will find them—by their corpses!"
After speaking, Magellan directly ordered the cell to be opened.
"By the way, there's a guy named 'Straw Hat' Luffy."
"Bastard—"
Bang!
With one hand gripping Ace's head, the tall Magellan coldly interrupted Ace's questioning as if he were holding a chick.
"Don't forget your identity, pirate!"
---
"Mr. 3, the key!"
With Mr. 3 around, the infinite key opened all the locks, making Roman, who controlled The White Knight, unable to help but complain. The World Government should spend time upgrading the locks and handcuffs instead of making robots... they are practically useless.
"Full speed ahead, straight to the sixth level!"
With Luffy leading, The White Knight following, then the Okama King Ivankov and Inazuma holding a glass of wine, followed by Bon Clay, Buggy, and Mr. 3.
"Why are we also..."
"Huh?!"
"Charge, rescue Ace!" x2These two guys... The White Knight slashed a military wolf with one sword while conjuring a shield to block the prison guards' bullets. With him mainly defending and Luffy extending his attacks, they broke through to the sixth level with unstoppable momentum. Then:They were faced with scattered handcuffs and chains on the ground.
"Damn... Ace isn't here..."
Facing Luffy with the straw hat on his back and The White Knight beside him, Jinbe in the cell immediately realized.
'I have a brother...''Who has a stubborn captain...'So this is Straw Hat Luffy? Ace's brother,—the blue fat fishman in the cell looked at the white-armored puppet beside him, surprised that this Celestial Dragon actually betrayed his position for 'companions'..."You're Straw Hat Luffy, right?"
Facing Luffy's gaze, the blue fat fishman nodded.
"Ace... has already been moved by Magellan, and—"
"Haha, Mr. 0, you're locked up here!"
"Bo... boss,"
On the other side, Bon Clay and Mr. 3 looked at the adjacent cell, where someone was imprisoned:
"You two... actually managed to escape?"
Crocodile glanced at Luffy and The White Knight beside him, understanding in his heart.
"You're lucky, meeting someone else—"
"Hahaha, Croc, that's not just anyone." Bon Clay twirled around and gave a thumbs-up to Crocodile in the cell.
"It's a friend!"
..."That's it, I'm going to Marine Headquarters!"
Upon learning that Ace had been taken away, Luffy immediately made up his mind.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ivankov was anxious. Escaping was one thing, but getting involved in the battle at Marine Headquarters was another.
"Do you know what that place is? It's a world-class war, with Marine Admirals! Vice Admirals! The Seven Warlords... What are you going to use to save him?"
He then looked at the white-armored puppet beside him.
"Hey, Paper Man, you should talk some sense into your captain."
"Don't panic,"
The White Knight waved his hand.
"Panic won't help."
?!
"Luffy isn't someone who can be easily persuaded, besides—"
The Summit War, I also want to see what the top combat power in this world looks like.
"I'm going!"
Luffy turned to Ivankov and Inazuma.
"If I don't go, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
—!
For a moment, the unwavering determination in Luffy's eyes made Ivankov, who was far stronger, instinctively take a small step back. This spirit, which creates miracles even when hope is slim...He had felt it many times in 'Dragon'!
As expected of father and son...
"Kuhahaha, interesting."
Crocodile walked to the side of the cell with a wicked smile.
"If you're going to escape, then let me out!"
"I can help you deal with the guards, how about it, Straw Hat—"
?
"It's you, Crocodile! You messed up Vivi's country, I won't let you out!"
"I have no interest in that country anymore, but my strength can help you get out of here, it's a win-win..."
"Letting him out is fine, Straw Hat."
Ivankov walked over.
"I know a secret of his that will ensure he behaves. Right, Crocodile~~"
"Ivankov..."
While Luffy was 'recruiting,' Roman's attention was on the other cells.
"You're hesitating, kid."
?
It was an old prisoner with a tall, thin frame and white hair braided into two pigtails hanging over his shoulders.
"I am hesitating,"
Even though he was locked in a cell, he could still 'read' Roman's thoughts through the puppet The White Knight. Only one person's Observation Haki in this world could reach such a level.
"Patrick Redfield."
Or rather: Red Count!
Known as the 'Red the Aloof,' he stood shoulder to shoulder with Roger and Whitebeard alone. He once defeated the previous Marine Fleet Admiral 'Kong' head-on, and although he was captured by the arriving Garp, he fought two top-tier forces and lost with honor.
"Fate... If you knew your fate, what would you do?"
Facing The White Knight's question, the old man in the cell smiled freely.
"I don't care about fate, I just want to find a quiet place to bask in the sun and feel the sea breeze. —If I could have a young body, that would be even better."
No wonder Sengoku said you have the power of an entire emperor's crew, while Garp said you wouldn't leave a name in history.
—You, a top-tier fighter who just wants to be a 'lazy fish', are truly unique.
"Fate?"
In another cell, a man with an extremely burly figure, long golden hair, and wearing earmuffs, crossed his arms and stood as steady as a mountain.
"Is fate harder than my fists?"
Douglas Bullet, another top-tier fighter in the world!
"Tsk, seeing you so confident, I almost want to..."
Send you to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise on the Red Line to see what eight hundred years of invincibility looks like.
"Forget it, whether you believe in fate or not. I've just decided—"
The White Knight turned to look, and over there, Luffy and the others had already freed Crocodile and Jinbe, eagerly preparing for an armed prison break.
"This time, I won't interfere with 'fate',"
??
With the two top-tier fighters looking at him with 'what did you say' expressions, The White Knight waved his hand as he left.
Maybe you don't know, but your 'fate' is in my hands.
"I wish you all regain your freedom."
