Chapter 2: Dangerous Situation!

After becoming familiar with the system, Adrian stood up again to inspect the surroundings.

He found himself locked inside a cell with three iron walls and one side fenced with iron bars.

Even in the highest level of Crimson Lotus Hell, the scent of blood was always thick in the air.

Adrian had already learned from his memories in this world that he would soon face a life-and-death battle.

This was because, after Roger's execution, pirates worldwide went crazy due to his final words before his departure.

As a result, more and more pirates poured into the sea!

This led to an increase in the number of inmates in Impel Down Prison.

Due to its unique geographical location, there was only one Impel Down in the world, and it couldn't be expanded. Therefore, the cells inside were overcrowded for a time.

While the high-ranking officials of Impel Down were troubled by this, Sadi, the chief jailer of Impel Down who enjoyed listening to others' groans and took pleasure in it, proposed a plan to let the prisoners kill each other.

In her plan, the inmates on each floor would periodically engage in life-and-death battles. Everyone's name was replaced by a number, and every day, two numbers would be drawn from each floor for a life-and-death battle.

In this battle, only killing the opponent would lead to victory.

But it didn't end there. If you wanted to survive here, you had to engage in endless battles.

In other words, after killing your opponent, the jailers would select two people from the inmates on the same floor for the next day's battle, and you might be selected again.

In theory, this practice aimed to significantly reduce the population of the prison. So, after a high-level meeting, Magellan agreed to Sadi's proposal.

After all, most of the prisoners locked up here were notorious criminals, so he didn't really pity their lives.

However, he insisted that the inmates in the sixth-level prison must never be called out for life-and-death battles!

Obviously, even Magellan was quite wary of those guys locked up in the sixth level.

The entire Impel Down itself had six levels of prison.

The sixth-level prison was the most terrifying, known as the Infinite Hell.

The inmates here were either sentenced to death or life imprisonment because of their heinous crimes.

The criminals detained here were too wicked to be recorded in history, either sentenced to death or life imprisonment. Due to their extremely cruel actions, some incidents beyond brutality were covered up by the government and deliberately concealed in newspapers.

The infamous "Golden Lion" Shiki once successfully escaped from this sixth-level prison.

And in the later storyline of the anime, the crew members of the Blackbeard Pirates, those existence-defying sailors, are also imprisoned here!

In addition, former Impel Down chief jailer Magellan's aide, Shiryu of the Rain, was also locked up in the sixth-level cell.

So, Magellan naturally dared not easily release these wicked pirates and let them fight!

And after Magellan nodded in agreement, Sadi and other officials of Impel Down immediately began to organize the so-called life-and-death battle tournament.

Today, as the number 55, Adrian was unfortunately selected by the jailers.

At the same time, in order to make each battle more entertaining, the jailers would feast the two inmates who were about to fight before the battle, so that they could perform better in the upcoming fight!

Looking at the "decapitation meal" placed on the ground, Adrian sneered, "Even if I starve, I will never eat this junk food!"

About ten minutes later, the jailer who had just been there walked up to Adrian's cell again.

"Hey, have you finished eating? You still have half an hour. Move faster!"

"Almost done!" Adrian replied immediately after swallowing a piece of meat.

...

Half an hour passed in a flash, and Adrian finally finished his meal.

After all, how could he go out to fight without eating!

When the time was up, two jailers came over, and then they opened Adrian's door and dragged him out with handcuffs and ankle chains.

As Adrian walked on the narrow and icy stone floor, the chains rubbed against the ground, making crisp sounds.

This sound was extremely chilling if listened to carefully.

At this time, countless cells were distributed on both sides of this road, and the inmates in these cells were gathered at the iron railing, gloating at today's "lucky one."

"Hey, buddy, you're done for this time. Your opponent has already set a record of killing five people in a row, number 38!"

At this moment, a head suddenly popped out from a nearby cell and said excitedly.

"Shut up! If you keep blabbering, I'll make you fight in his place!" The jailer immediately scolded the talkative prisoner fiercely upon hearing this.

After being warned, the prisoner indeed became much more obedient, but the look in his eyes when looking at Adrian seemed like he was staring at a corpse.

Obviously, in everyone's eyes, Adrian was doomed.

After a moment, Adrian was finally taken to a temporary circular arena in the center of the first floor of the prison.

At this time, many jailers had already stood around the arena, becoming the audience for this life-and-death battle.

And on the platform above the arena, there were several special figures.

A man with a trident, a short stature with two heads, and a hat with two horns was standing there, staring at Adrian.

Adrian recognized him at a glance as Saldeath, the chief warden of Impel Down Prison.

At the same time, he was also the commander of the Impel Down prison wardens, "Blue Gorilla" Bruglory.

Bruglory was the guard of Impel Down, responsible for guarding the first level of Crimson Lotus Hell.

In addition, there was already a figure standing on the arena.

Although this person was wearing a prisoner's uniform, from the appearance, it could be seen that the opponent was quite burly, and the deep scar on his face looked even more terrifying!

The moment he saw Adrian, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes!

"No wonder he could kill five people in a row. The killing aura on this guy is indeed heavy!" Adrian muttered to himself.

"Hurry up!" At this time, the jailer behind him pushed Adrian forward.
