Eternal Hell
GPT-4
After hearing Blackbeard's instructions, Blueno immediately agreed, taking a step forward and pressing his hands on the void in front of him.
"Open the door!"
Following Blueno's low shout, a seven-meter-tall air gate suddenly appeared in the space in front of him.
Inside the gate is a green space and a black road leading forward.
Seeing this, Blueno grinned and said:
"Captain, the door to Eternal Hell, the sixth floor of the deep-sea prison, has been opened, and we can move out."
"Well done!"
Blackbeard nodded with satisfaction, then raised his hand and waved:
"Children, let's go and take you to see the most vicious criminals imprisoned in the world!"
Oh, oh, oh!
Everyone in the Blackbeard pirate group was suddenly excited.
As Blackbeard stepped into the door first, the cadre of the black group immediately followed.
The three-hundred-meter road soon came to an end.
Blueno, who was standing next to Blackbeard, pointed to a huge dark space in front of him and said:
"Captain, we are now at a wall of the Eternal Hell at the bottom of the deep-sea prison.
I haven't opened the door yet.
Standing here, we can take a look at the situation outside for now."
"This is a good idea and very sound."
Blackbeard expressed satisfaction.
Then he began to observe the situation in Eternal Hell through the space in front.
The door space they are in is like a piece of light green glass separated from the Eternal Hell outside. You can think of it like the kind of window glass in an urban suite.
They could clearly see the situation outside.
But they could only see what was within their view.
Blackbeard had already thought about this and said to Blueno on the side:
"You first open a hole the size of your fist, and I will use Observation Haki to explore the situation in this Eternal Hell, so we can choose our target!"
"Good!"
Blueno immediately understood Blackbeard's thoughts.
He, the Gate Fruit user, could only use his eyes to see the outside situation, but Observation Haki could not penetrate it. After all, they were not in the same space.
By opening a small door or crack, Observation Haki could penetrate through, allowing them to explore the situation in Eternal Hell more safely.
After all, the World Government had imprisoned countless of the world's most vicious criminals. Only the pirate admiral - Golden Lion, a ruthless man, had successfully escaped in the past few centuries.
Of course, there was another known escapee, the commander of the Western Army of the Revolutionary Army, Mori of the Giant Clan!
Notably, he used his ability to manipulate fruits to dig a hole underground for his escape from the deep-sea prison. He also created a 5.5-story secret space for the Shemale King-Ivankov and others to live in.
Considering this, there were likely various groups of people imprisoned in the deep-sea prison.
That was the true goal of Blackbeard's journey!
This was where the new member of the black group, Gekko Moria, would come into play.
On this expedition, Blackbeard's primary objectives were to find reliable partners, cause disturbance, and naturally, hunt for Devil Fruit powers!
What better targets were there to hunt than a group of these vicious, defenseless pirates restrained by seastone cuffs?
Even though the Celestial Dragons were despicable, the Marines were no saints either.
Among those imprisoned in the deep-sea prison Eternal Hell, none would be innocent if Blackbeard selected ten to eliminate!
Therefore, Blackbeard felt confident in his ability to hunt down their fruits effectively!
However, he had no intention of actually entering Eternal Hell to kill all those people.
With his ability to hunt Devil Fruits, Moria targets shadows!
The remaining major pirates and vicious criminals were meticulously selected by Leah to have their shadows extracted and placed into zombies.
When Moria gains full control of the shadow army taken from the deep-sea prison, the Blackbeard Pirates' power will surge to a formidable level.
Even Kaido, possessing the mightiest military strength at the time, would have reason for concern!
With these thoughts in mind, Blackbeard swiftly pinpointed several targets he had identified in his previous life's experiences.
The first focused on acquiring powerful Devil Fruit abilities.
The initial target was the ability intended for Fan Oka. The subject of the hunt was - [World Destroyer·Byrnndi World] - possessing the Momo Fruit.
The second target was the ability designated for Kalifa. The prey was - [Katerina Diemei] - holding the Devil Fruit power Zoan - Dog Fruit·Phantom Beast Species - Nine Tails Fox-shaped.
These two entities were undoubtedly among the elite in the world of Devil Fruits!
In doing so, the prowess of Hanka and Kalifa would see significant enhancement instantaneously.
Other targets included individuals crucial for Blackbeard to assemble for this venture.
One such figure was the gargantuan San Juan Wolf, who consumed the Expansion Fruit and could grow to a size of 1,780 meters.
Another was his predecessor Shichibukai-Kai Xia Jinbei, who was detained due to his refusal to fight alongside Ace against an ominous presage.
As for the remaining few individuals, their involvement was left to fate.
It was necessary to venture out and ascertain their dispositions beforehand.
As Blackbeard's Wisdom Color influence radiated across the area, a robust Wisdom Color suddenly swept through the same region where his aura had spread.
This development caught Blackbeard off guard. Despite anticipating such a scenario, he had not foreseen being detected so promptly.
Nevertheless, Blackbeard remained unperturbed. Even if his presence was uncovered, what could it truly avail? Hadn't he consistently outwitted incompetence and fury?
Indeed, shortly after their exposure was acknowledged, a burst of incredulous laughter reverberated throughout Eternal Hell.
"Hahahaha, intriguing indeed! I never imagined someone would dare venture to this abode! The variety of peculiar abilities in this world is truly astonishing!"
Following this unrestrained laughter, as if a switch had been triggered within Eternal Hell, all the imprisoned felons erupted into maniacal laughter.
"Hey, hey, why is our Red Earl in such high spirits?"
"Is the old man planning to gamble his precious coins?"
"Show some respect, you scoundrel!"
"Quit jesting, you were still in diapers when I roamed the high seas, Bullet!"
"Hahaha, another lively day in Eternal Hell!"
"Have all the ancient relics emerged for a chat? I thought you all succumbed to old age! Hahaha!"
In that moment, the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki on the sixth level of the deep-sea prison surged vigorously, interweaving red, black, blue, and purple lightning in the sky above Eternal Hell, akin to a radiant power grid.
Incredibly spectacular yet dreadfully daunting!
Even via a fist-sized aperture, all members of the black group situated within the door space felt an intense and menacing air of oppression instantaneously.
Particularly the less resilient Sky Island priests found themselves rendered unconscious by the clash of over a dozen Conqueror's Haki.
Observing this, Blackbeard furrowed his brow and sighed:
"Blueno, close the door for now."
"Yes!"
With a click, Blueno hastened to shut the door, then wiped perspiration from his brow, remarking:
"Is this the frightful Eternal Hell situated on the sixth floor of the Deep Sea Prison? It's exceedingly intimidating. I fear my resolve may falter soon."
The other members of the black group wore somber expressions.
They now comprehended the sheer dreadfulness of this abode!
Who were the detainees incarcerated within these walls?
The abundance of formidable Conqueror's Haki disturbed them!
"Do not be overly anxious. It is natural to find this daunting at this stage."
Blackbeard reassured them with a smile.
"You cannot expect to match those who have honed their skills diligently for decades after just a year and a half of practice, can you?
Let us allow the situation to settle down before proceeding further."
Finding a spot to train diligently and enhance your strength further.
By then, you will also become world-class experts!"
Regarding Wang Luffy, he accrued strength by being thrust into the deep mountains and forests by Garp to contend with wild beasts from childhood.
This method allowed Luffy to accumulate a wealth of experience.
Whether it was Luffy, Sanji, or Zoro, it appeared they swiftly ascended to top-tier and first-rate strength within merely a thousand years. However, this was the fruit of their rigorous training over the past decade.
The members of the Black Group became exhilarated once more upon hearing Blackbeard's words.
Observing their reaction, Blackbeard smiled.
Then, after a brief pause, he indicated the two cells adjacent to Byrnndi World and Catalina and instructed:
"Blueno, let us depart from the space between these two cells and first target the icy Byrnndi World's fruit."
After conveying his decision, Blackbeard turned to Vivi and Mr. 3 beside him and continued:
"Despite the eruption of numerous Conqueror's Haki instances in Eternal Hell earlier, which subjected you to considerable strain, there are advantages to be gleaned.
Namely, following the clashing Conqueror's Haki at that intensity, any surveillance bugs monitoring Eternal Hell would undoubtedly have been rendered unconscious.
Consequently, now is the opportune moment for us to act.
In due course, Vivi, together with Mr. 3, utilize your respective fruit powers to block all elevator and stair passages leading to Eternal Hell, endeavoring to secure us as much time as possible."
"Understood!"
Upon receipt of Blackbeard's directives, Vivi beamed with sudden joy.
She felt gratified to finally assist this man. It seemed her choice to accompany him on this journey was indeed a wise one!
"Open the door!"
As Blackbeard declared, ten colossal seven-meter-tall space doors on the corner wall between the two cells slowly creaked open.
Subsequently, Blackbeard and his retinue emerged.
Moments after their exit, Blackbeard and Enel exchanged nods and promptly commenced scanning the surrounding surveillance situation using their acumen.
Within a short span, they identified the surveillance phone bugs lying unconscious, exactly as Blackbeard had anticipated.
Taking note of this development, Blackbeard nodded approvingly and proceeded directly to the cell housing Byrnndi World.
Squelch!
Click!
With a swift sword stroke, Blackbeard sliced through the seastone and iron lock on the door, swung the door open, and entered.
Blackbeard's actions alerted other formidable inmates within Eternal Hell.
Although these individuals were once prominent pirates and malicious criminals, they were nonetheless taken aback by the sudden appearance of Blackbeard's group.
"Eh, what's happening? Where did these individuals come from all of a sudden?"
"A group materialized out of thin air. Could this be some specialized Devil Fruit ability?"
"Perhaps they too have made a jailbreak?"
"Irrespective of their numbers, inquiries should be made first!"
"Hey! Swiftly liberate me. I can navigate you out of the deep-sea prison!"
"Yes, all you need do is unshackle the seastone bindings. We will assuredly assist in your escape!"
"Please, liberate me from this infernal place! I cannot endure it any longer!"
Upon the possibility of escaping from captivity, the detained ruthless individuals in Eternal Hell commenced fervently beseeching for mercy.
Despite the pleas, Blackbeard opted to disregard them temporarily. He marched straight to Byrnndi World's cell, beckoned to Oka, and stated:
"Oka, step forward."
Given Blackbeard's prior advisement, Van Oka comprehended it was now his moment to advance.
Blackbeard then presented him with the illustrated description of the Momo Fruit.
Undoubtedly, it was an immensely potent Devil Fruit!
Particularly for a sharpshooter like him, it was undeniably one of the top fruits.
No wonder his captain had not arranged any fruit for him; it appeared to have been placed in this precise location.
At that juncture, Oka better understood his captain's foresight.
Splatter!
As the Seven-Star Sword impaled Byrnndi World's heart together with the ice cube, the entire cell was blanketed in black snow.
Externally, observers merely caught a glimpse of a violet flare before Oka emerged from the scene, excitement etched on his face.
Blackbeard wasted no time and proceeded directly to Catalina's neighboring cell.
Upon seeing Blackbeard and his companions at her cell's threshold, Catalina believed their presence was in response to her supplication for mercy, assuming they had come to release her.
"Damsel in distress—Sir, should you free me, Katarina Diemeng, I pledge my loyalty to you henceforth!"
Catalina Diemei asserted with pride:
"Pay me no heed, my lord. I possess the Zoan - Phantom Beast Species - Nine Tails Demon Fox transformation. I can undoubtedly be of service to you!"
"Nine Tails in demon fox form, is it? Impressive, excellent indeed! Hahaha"
Blackbeard grinned, then cleaved through the seastone bindings and chains with his sword, unlocked the cell door, and entered.
Catalina, earlier brimming with excitement, watched Blackbeard step forth with sword in hand. Abruptly, her smile faded, a perplexed expression replacing it as she gazed at Blackbeard and inquired:
"Hey, what's your intention? I—"
Splat!
Without hesitation, Blackbeard promptly decapitated Catalina with a swift stroke!
Catalina failed to grasp the rationale behind her untimely demise.
Observing this, Kalifa promptly entered the cell.
One minute later, Kalifa emerged from the cell's murky mist, her countenance flush with elation.
At that moment, within the cell, Katarina Diemei, who once served as a pivotal cadre of the black group, had met her demise!
"Hey! What is your aim? Why resort to murder here!?"
"Another Shiryu? This insolent fellow!"
"No, these individuals evidently entered well-prepared. Do you not possess the courage to disclose your identities openly?"
"We also noted a Sand-Sand Fruit user here, seemingly accompanied by this individual. They have obstructed the elevator entry and stairway leading to Eternal Hell!"
"Fascinating! Let's see what these acquaintance wish to accomplish!"
Having secured their objectives here, Blackbeard exhaled a sigh of relief.
Initial objectives attained.
Following the voices emanating from diverse prisons, Blackbeard raised an eyebrow.
At present, he paid no heed to the hubbub caused by these vociferous inmates.
Primarily, the focus revolved around recruiting their targets initially.
Promptly, Blackbeard led his cadre towards another cell.
Presently, Blackbeard and his retinue departed without concealment. Clad in black attire, they sauntered confidently along the primary thoroughfare of Eternal Hell.
Although each member of the black group observed with curiosity, none engaged in casual banter.
Before arriving, they had been informed by their captain that an individual proficient in a unique Observation Haki might be present in this location.
Merely conversing with this individual could lead to the revelation of one's memories and thoughts!
This ability was even more exceptional than that wielded by Devil Fruit users!
Consequently, although inquisitive, the members of the black group exercised utmost caution.
Ultimately reaching a significant cell, Moria glanced at the corpulent blue figure confined by iron chains within and jested:
"Hehehehehe
Isn't this our former Shichibukai- son of the sea Jinbei?
How did you end up imprisoned here?"
