Chapter 53 Five Elders Came To Fish For People In Person, Everyone Was Confused

"Shut up, you bunch of losers!" Akainu looked around, his eyes filled with disdain.

The noise around them not only continued but grew louder.

"Sakazuki, you're just a Marine Vice Admiral. What's your deal?"

"That's right! The only Marine I respect is Garp. As for you, you have no right to yell at me!"

"Why don't you open the cell door, and we'll settle this face-to-face?"

The prisoners in Eternal Hell, infamous for their past cruelty and defiance, showed no respect for the Marine in front of them.

But the Vice Admirals behind Akainu had heard enough.

Onigumo stepped forward, a cigar in his mouth. Amid the smoke, he spoke with contempt:

"What do you relics of the past know? Sakazuki and Kuzan are now Marine Admirals!"

Dauberman chimed in:

"That's right. This time, the Marines deployed a Buster Call. Under the command of Admirals Akainu and Aokiji, even Kaido, the Emperor of the Sea and King of the Beasts, could only surrender."

"How can such powerful men be insulted by the likes of you?"

The prisoners stared at Akainu in shock, and silence fell over them.

"A Buster Call... Marine Admirals?"

At that moment, a deep voice echoed from the darkness at the end of the corridor. The tone carried emotion, regret, and a hint of excitement.

Everyone turned toward the sound.

Their faces changed drastically as a violent surge of energy swept over them.

In the corridor, the weak candlelight was extinguished, plunging the area into darkness.

Accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, the thick, solid walls began to fracture, with countless cracks spreading everywhere.

Hannyabal and a dozen jailers rolled their eyes and collapsed without a word.

"Damn it, this feels horrible."

"Why did that bastard Bullet suddenly go crazy?"

The prisoners felt an overwhelming pressure and turned pale.

It was as if they had seen something incredibly terrifying, desperately backing away from the cell bars, hoping it would make them feel safer.

Onigumo, Doberman, and the other Vice Admirals took a big step back, their expressions serious.

"What a powerful Conqueror's Haki! Who is this guy?"

Aokiji responded gravely:

"The Demon Heir, Douglas Bullet."

"Eleven years ago, the Marines launched a Buster Call against Bullet. The leaders at that time were Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

"Bullet single-handedly slaughtered the Marine fleet. It was only after his strength was exhausted that the pirates he had previously defeated launched a surprise attack, leading to his eventual defeat and imprisonment here."

"This man is a terrifying monster, on par with Kaido."

Having been Garp's subordinate at the time, Aokiji vividly remembered the battle.

Momonga, another Vice Admiral, nodded slowly, his voice strained:

"Just the aura alone is terrifying. It's hard to imagine how intense that battle must have been..."

The other Vice Admirals were also sweating profusely, their eyes wide with shock.

Akainu snorted coldly.

"No matter how powerful you are, it won't change the fact that you're locked up here."

"Being imprisoned in this place means your life is over. You'll be consumed by despair and pain until you eventually rot and die."

Turning to Carlos, Akainu continued:

"Garros, do you see this? This is the future that awaits you..."

But in the midst of speaking, he suddenly stopped.

Despite the overwhelming pressure in the air,

Carlos didn't seem affected at all—completely unfazed.

Akainu frowned deeply.

Even he,

Felt a deep sense of unease at this moment.

Yet this young man remained completely unaffected.

How is that possible?

Recovering from his shock, Akainu quickly grabbed a set of keys from Hannyabal.

He opened the cell door and, with Aokiji's help, locked Kaido and Carlos inside.

The moment the door clicked shut, Akainu let out a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Where is this? The Marines? It seems like I've been locked up..."

Kaido's voice suddenly echoed in their ears.

Though the sound wasn't loud, it struck like thunder in everyone's hearts.

Inspired by Bullet's Conqueror's Haki,

Kaido, who had been in a coma, had woken up without anyone noticing.

He twisted his neck, scanning the surroundings.

"So, this is the legendary Impel Down."

When he saw Carlos beside him, Kaido laughed.

"Garros!"

"I don't know why you're imprisoned here, but with you as my cellmate, the rest of my prison time won't be so boring..."

Kaido then frowned, glancing deeper into the corridor.

"This presence... Is this how you greet each other? Interesting."

In the next moment, Kaido's pupils contracted.

A massive surge of Conqueror's Haki burst forth from him!

Boom!

The two Haki clashed violently in the air,

Countless black and red bolts of lightning crackling wildly.

The prisoners clutched their heads, shouting uncontrollably.

"Damn it, these two maniacs!"

"Even locked up here, they still won't calm down?"

"This is unbearable. I feel like I'm going to die..."

To those watching, each second felt like an eternity.

Gradually... the clash of Conqueror's Haki reached a fever pitch.

Even the infamous pirates with bounties in the hundreds of millions couldn't withstand it and fainted.

The five Marine Vice Admirals also showed signs of extreme discomfort, struggling to stay conscious and looking on the verge of collapse.

Cracks formed and spread across the walls and floor.

The entire Eternal Hell shook violently.

The tremors were even felt above ground.

Impel Down's countless prisoners from LV1 to LV5 began to whisper among themselves.

"With such a huge commotion, has someone escaped?"

"Who would dare? This is Impel Down!"

"Is it an earthquake?"

"Damn it! This is an underwater prison! If it collapses, we'll all drown!"

First Floor of the Sea, Office

Chief Warden Sadi-chan looked panicked.

"What's happening?"

"Ma'am, the source of the vibration is the sixth floor!"

"Damn it, there are monsters imprisoned down there. Could it be...?"

"Hurry! Set up the monitoring system immediately!"

"Quick! Inform Lord Magellan at once!"

"But ma'am, he's still... on the toilet!"

Suddenly, a jailer shouted:

"Ma'am, a warship has arrived at the Gate of Justice and is requesting permission to dock!"

Sadi-chan waved her hand impatiently.

"There's a situation in Impel Down right now, and you want to let outsiders in to witness it?"

"Make them wait! Right now, organize manpower to contain the riot—"

Before she could finish, another subordinate interrupted.

"No! The Gate of Justice... it's opening!"

Everyone was shocked and stared in disbelief.

"How is that possible?! How could the Gate of Justice open without our consent?"

The subordinate stared at the monitor and reported:

"The other party has the highest clearance. The access name is... Five Elders, Lord Jaygolusia Satan!"

Impel Down, Sixth Floor, Eternal Hell

After a fierce clash, Kaido and Bullet found themselves evenly matched, neither able to overpower the other. Kaido retracted his Conqueror's Haki first and laughed.

"Bullet, I've heard of your name before. Seeing you in person, your reputation is well-deserved."

"So, how about it? Once we get out of here, do you want to join me as my subordinate?"

From deep in the corridor, Bullet's voice responded with disdain.

"Join you? No, I don't need any companions."

Douglas Bullet, the Devil's Heir.

He joined the army at 8, became the strongest soldier in the kingdom by 13, and dominated the battlefield.

At 14, he was hailed as a national hero.

At 15, he challenged Gol D. Roger and lost.

At 18, he fought "Dark King" Rayleigh, Roger's first mate, to a draw.

His only goal is to become the strongest in the world.

After Roger's death, Bullet was so distraught that he recklessly challenged a Buster Call to test his limits.

After being defeated by Garp, Sengoku, and others, he was imprisoned here.

Despite that, he continued to train relentlessly for decades, all to become the world's strongest.

"Kaido, with that courage, you're different from the trash in here. I recognize you!"

"In this world, only Roger was worthy of being my captain. You... you're not even close."

"Fight me when we get out of here!"

The two spoke as if no one else was around, completely ignoring everyone present.

Akainu frowned deeply, his voice dripping with mockery.

"Get out? Are you joking?"

"Just stay here!"

To his knowledge, only the legendary pirate Golden Lion had ever escaped from Impel Down—and he paid a steep price by losing his legs.

"Alright, now that we're done here, it's time to leave."

"Garros, enjoy yourself. I hope you and Kaido get along."

Akainu glanced at the cell and said calmly.

Though his tone was composed, the pride in his heart was undeniable. It thrilled him to have these two locked up together.

Aokiji looked down at the cracked ground, then at the unconscious jailers, and sighed softly.

"Alala, these two really don't know how to behave. Let's notify Magellan to clean up."

Akainu, his expression stern, replied coldly:

"As the warden of Impel Down, Magellan's absence during such a critical situation is a serious dereliction of duty!"

At that moment,

The door at the entrance suddenly swung open.

A large group of people entered.

When they saw who led them, Akainu, Aokiji, and the five Vice Admirals were stunned, standing frozen in place, unable to believe their eyes.

He wore a black suit, had white curly hair, a fluffy white beard, a flat hat, and a scar on the left side of his face.

The man was none other than the Five Elder, Saint Satan.

Kizaru and Warden Magellan stood on either side of him.

Four CP0s in white uniforms and masks followed closely behind.

Behind them were nearly a hundred fully armed guards and Impel Down jailers.

Onigumo swallowed hard and murmured:

"Three Marine Admirals gathered here, and it's alerted the Five Elders. What in the world is going on...?"

Momonga, Doberman, and the others beside him looked as if they'd seen a ghost.

The Five Elders are the top leaders of the World Government.

A single word from them can determine the fate of countless lives.

Now, one of them had come here personally, undeterred by the danger!

Even Akainu and Aokiji were speechless, their hearts filled with confusion and shock.

The vast difference in status left them hesitant to act, so they stood respectfully.

Saint Satan glanced around, his brow slightly furrowed.

"What happened?"

Beside him, Warden Magellan, who resembled a demon, nodded repeatedly, looking respectful.

"Don't worry, sir, my men will immediately reinforce the security of Impel Down."

Saint Satan nodded and approached a particular cell, surrounded by everyone.

He spoke calmly, in a tone that brooked no argument:

"Open it."

Everyone's expressions changed, and though they wanted to say something, they dared not.

Akainu stepped forward, frowning:

"Lord Saint Satan, these two are extremely dangerous pirates, their threat immeasurable..."

Saint Satan looked at him coldly.

"Are you talking about Kaido?"

"Three Marine Admirals, five Headquarters Vice Admirals, plus Magellan and the CP0s. If that's not enough to subdue him, then I have nothing more to say."

"Open the door."

Their faces stiffened, but they had no choice. They stepped forward nervously.

The cell door opened.

Saint Satan gave another order:

"Remove his shackles."

At this, everyone's faces turned pale.

Akainu spoke in a deep voice:

"My lord, though this man isn't as dangerous as Kaido, his experience is still extraordinary."

With such close proximity, if he tried anything, they'd struggle to stop him!

"Oh? Are my words meaningless?"

Magellan grimaced as he unlocked the seastone shackles on Carlos, under the anxious watch of Akainu, Aokiji, and the others.

Carlos rubbed his wrists, smiling.

"Where's my sword?"

"I'll have Magellan bring it to you later. I need to speak with you first. Come with me."

Carlos turned to Kaido, grinning.

"Kaido, it seems I'll be disappointing you. I won't be your cellmate after all."

Kaido snorted in displeasure, looking away.

Carlos shook his head and walked out of the cell.

As he passed Akainu, he gave him a meaningful look.

The playful smile on his face made Akainu clench his fists, a surge of anger rising in his chest, though he held it back.

The prisoners were stunned, not knowing what to say, and watched in silence as the group left Eternal Hell.

After a brief pause, the entire sixth floor erupted into chaos.

"Kaido, do you know the guy who was with you?"

"Who is he? Why did the Five Elders personally come to get him?"

The prisoners couldn't contain their curiosity and began bombarding Kaido with questions.

"He was originally my subordinate."

In the cell,

Facing their shocked and curious expressions, Kaido slowly began to recount Carlos's deeds.

"An undercover agent?"

"What? A powerful guy like you was defeated by that kid?"

"That guy doesn't look older than his twenties. This... this can't be real, right?"

"Charlotte Linlin? I know her. Like you, she was a crew member on Rocks' ship."

"What? He dared to provoke both of you at the same time?"

"He plotted against two Emperors of the Sea and destroyed the Beasts Pirates? That's... unbelievable."

"No wonder the Five Elders value him so much."

The prisoners' expressions grew increasingly complex, their mouths full of sighs.

Though they found it hard to believe such an outrageous tale,

The events they had just witnessed were still fresh in their minds, forcing them to accept the truth.

"The world outside is changing so fast..."
