56 Conqueror's and Visiting Day

__________ POV Narration__________

Enel and Domino travelled all the way down to the lowest level rather quickly.

Enel was already somewhat familiar with the levels thankfully. But he could only vaguely remember them at first.

However, he wanted to have some understanding of Impel Down, as he wanted to keep it as a plan B.

If he failed to befriend enough powerful pirates and the revolutionary army, then he'd just free the entirety of Impel Down and create a fleet powerful enough to stand on its own.

Of course, Enel planned to keep Blackbeard's associates alive for that plan, as they were all rather useful for that plan B.

He would make sure they were captured again and sent back to Impel Down.

Enel remembered Buggy becoming an Emperor, he couldn't quite remember the circumstances of how that had happened, but he knew that it was likely also thanks to the Impel Down Prisoners that he had scammed into believing in him.

Enel could do what Buggy did... But he'd actually have the strength to back up his words if a fight were to break out.

Enel still wasn't sure how Buggy had managed to rule his crew so efficiently, but he decided not to think about it too much... If anything, Buggy could also become a powerful ally in the future, if the stars aligned.

Domino was confident in herself as she showed the 'Unranked Admiral' all over the prison, explaining everything from the soldiers defending each level to the way they handled any possible Breakouts.

Domino seemed extremely confident in the prison's defence systems. To the point where she even seemed prideful.

Enel just whistled a bit, as he wondered how the world had aligned itself for Luffy to be able to escape with so many prisoners.

It was a wonder, but Enel decided not to think about it too much, he'd leave Luffy to it.

The last level, however, was where things got a bit more interesting. Enel could feel quite a few prisoners locked up inside it.

It was rather normal compared to all of the contrived methods of punishment that the other levels had. There was no Punishment in the last level, it was just a regular jail, made out of seastone mostly.

It was a prison that housed the most powerful pirates, unlike the last level, the Freezing Hell, which only housed pirates with bounties of over 100 million.

In truth, the Eternal Hell housed the most dangerous pirates only. The type that could endanger entire kingdoms with their presence.

Doflamingo would've ended up somewhere in there, had Enel not derailed the story the way he did.

The jail was a lot larger than Enel had thought it would be though. Which made quite a bit of sense, there were hundreds of pirates in that last level, all of which powerful and devious in their own right.

Enel could feel members of the Blackbeard pirates with his observation haki, still shackled and sitting down on the cold floor.

Although there was no physical torture in the last level of Impel Down, it was made to look extremely bland. It was created to drive the residents crazy.

In truth, it didn't do much, as the vast majority of people that reached that level were already insane.

Enel could see Hancock walking in front of him, she was being led by Hannyabal, the current Vice Warden.

Enel chuckled a bit as he noticed that she had been cuffed. He forgot just how little the Warlords were trusted. They were supposedly allies, but they were still being treated as pirates.

That treatment might've been accurate though... Enel could remember Hancock turning many marines to stone a long time before the Warlords were disbanded.

If the warlords themselves didn't see the marines or World Government as allies, then why would the other party bother?

Hancock heard Enel chuckle, she turned around and narrowed her eyes at the Rear Admiral.

She simply scoffed and turned around.

"And why exactly are you following me?" She asked in her usual haughty tone, making Domino blush a bit.

"I was just sightseeing, I wouldn't be looking at you if I had any other choice... Unfortunately, there isn't anything else down here." Enel said as he studied the young Pirate Empress with a bored gaze.

"Hmph!" She once again scoffed and turned around. It seemed that not even seastone cuffs were able to suppress her arrogance, which made Enel smile a bit in amusement.

"Hurry up and do what you have to do. We need to get to Marineford sometime this week." Enel said as he ignored whatever the prisoners around him were sputtering out.

He could hear literal howls as Hancock walked by the cells, making him feel a bit weirded out.

'Being beautiful sure is tough... Good thing I never have to worry about that.' Enel pondered to himself as he walked up near Hancock, walking slightly behind her, his cape attracting quite a few laughs from the prisoners.

"A rear admiral!?! Bwahahahaha! What's a shrimp like him doing here?!" The dogs barked pretty loudly, making Hannyabal whip the loudest one to make an example out of him.

"S-sorry about that, Rear Admiral Enel... Prisoners down here probably have no idea who you are, so things like these can happen." Hannyabal said as he bowed his head slightly.

Enel simply shook his head. "Couldn't care less."

Hancock was rather satisfied to hear that Enel was being ridiculed though, at least Enel could tell that much from her melodic laughter.

'Damn... What a bitch...' Enel thought to himself, as he released a wave of Conquerer's haki, sweeping over all of the cells nearby and knocking out everyone that had been mocking him.

A deadly silence descended upon the prison, as the stronger pirates weren't the types to badmouth someone with conqueror's haki...

Hancock also turned around again when the wave of haki washed over her.

It startled her slightly, as Enel didn't even seem remotely serious, yet he was able to knock out people on the 6th level of Impel Down.

Such a feat would've been difficult for most, but Enel seemed completely fine...

Enel raised an eyebrow though... For some reason, he felt a bit drained from using his Conquerer's haki.

This was something he had also experienced during his training, but he assumed it was just due to the fact that he was overusing it...

In truth, after testing it a few times. The more Enel used Conquerer's Haki, the less he could use it.

He thought it was going to be alright after resting a bit after his month-long training, he had been using it quite a bit when training. But it seemed that the resting time had changed nothing at all...

The Willpower itself was getting stronger the more he used it, but it was as if Enel's reserves were limited, and either replenishing really slowly or not at all.

Enel simply clenched his fist and continued to walk forward, deciding to not use Conquerer's anymore until he looked further into the issue.

Enel knew that it was time for Hancock to speak to Ace, so he beckoned Hannyabal to whip a random prisoner, while Domino stayed there to cheer on him (those were the actual instructions Enel gave her).

Hancock went ahead and spoke with Ace, Enel didn't greet Ace during that time, but Ace's cellmate managed to catch his attention.

"Hmm? A Rear Admiral that possesses the will of a conqueror... Something isn't right here." The Fishman looked up at Enel with narrowed eyes.

Enel simply tilted his head, his earlobes swaying a bit as he looked at the imprisoned warlord.

"Same could be said about someone of your strength letting themselves get captured... I get not agreeing to orders, but actually being imprisoned?" Enel said as he also narrowed his eyes.

A Fishman pirate like Jimbei would always be difficult to catch. In water, he was simply impossible to catch.

He'd be able to escape even if an admiral showed up as long as he dived deep enough underwater, and the marines wouldn't be able to do anything...

Jimbei and Enel stared at one another for a bit, at least until they both heard steps going in another direction.

Hancock had finished telling Ace that Luffy was coming to save him, which gained its own set of concerned hushed whispers from Ace.

The Pirate Empress then left the prison, the Vice Warden following after her like a little dog.

"Welp... See you at the war folks!" Enel told both Jimbei, who raised an eyebrow, and Ace, who didn't pay attention, and was still thinking about his brother putting himself in danger to rescue him.

"Domino! Please make sure that Hancock waits for me at the docks. I will be out soon." Enel said as he turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the exit.

Domino had wanted to protest and follow Enel further in but was dissuaded by his cold gaze, so she turned around and ran after Hannyabal.

Enel sighed as he was finally left alone.

He walked all the way over to Shiryu, who had been the Head Jailor until recently. He was imprisoned for repeatedly slaughtering prisoners, and he didn't seem to care too much.

The man was simply smoking his cigar, sitting down cross-legged as he didn't even bother wearing prisoner garb, still wearing his Jailor uniform.

"To what do I owe the honour... 'Unranked Admiral'?" Shiryu asked, his eyes hidden by his cap as Enel stared at him with cold eyes.

"Hoh? Didn't think my reputation made it down here... I guess Magellan keeps you posted on those things..." Enel said as he shook his head a bit.

"I'm not here for that though... You will soon be presented with a choice, Shiryu. I want you to know, that if you accept it, you are the only one I won't spare." Enel didn't bother to elaborate, only turning around and leaving behind a confused Shiryu.

'What the hell was that about...?' The former Head Jailor asked himself as he wiped some sweat from his brow.

And with that, Enel's business at Impel Down had concluded.

Hope you liked the chapter!

The Conquerer's Haki situation might sound like a nerf, but it's not really.

The MC can still use it, and this happened just because I realized that not having a soul would certainly affect your Haki( which is basically spiritual power) :))

This won't get in the way too much, since Enel's main power is still his devil fruit.

This whole thing will be eventually explained in the future, so I won't give any spoilers.

Don't forget to check out the new fanfic called Naruto: The Blind Swordsman(still can't link it)

I will likely stream soon, somewhere around 17:00 EST.
