BOOM...
As the elevator suddenly stopped, surrounded by a group of jailers, the figure of Impel Down Director Magellan, with blue venom flowing all over his body, appeared in front of everyone.
This shocked all the escaped prisoners.
To all the prisoners in Impel Down, Magellan was a demon-like figure from hell. On the other hand, the guards roared with relief as if they had seen a savior.
"Very good!"
"The Director is finally here!"
"We're saved!"
However, only Shiryu noticed that Magellan did not seem as relaxed as he had imagined.
Shiryu understood.
After all, those two figures standing on the shoulders of San Juan Wolf were so formidable that even Marine hero Garp might not guarantee their capture.
Moreover, Shiryu also noticed the anger and gloominess hidden in Magellan's eyes at that moment.
"Did something happen to Level 6?"
The answer seemed obvious!
Magellan had come up from Level 6.
Was it because of this pirate?
Shiryu, who initially had no recollection, remembered what had happened three months ago after Magellan's reminder.
He never expected that this seemingly insignificant pirate, who had no reputation at sea, would become the central figure in the entire Impel Down riot.
"Interesting!!!"
Magellan was indeed very angry. The horrific scene he had just witnessed in Level 6 made him, who was known as a demon, feel a chill. But he knew he couldn't show any emotions at this time.
The mere presence of the two men standing on San Juan Wolf's shoulders was enough to overwhelm him. He had no confidence at all. All he could do now was buy time.
With anger and indifference in his eyes, he looked at the pirate being held in San Juan Wolf's palm, the one who orchestrated all of this, and spoke with heavy steps.
"I really didn't expect this. No wonder Admiral Zephyr personally escorted you here. It was my carelessness that allowed you to escape, leading to this chaos... But it doesn't matter. You will be caught eventually. The first time or the second time..."
Naturally, Gnar knew that villains often talk too much, but he still chose to engage Magellan in conversation.
He had no other reason but one: he needed immense fame.
As he stayed in Impel Down longer and gained more power, his ambition grew.
He was no longer satisfied with merely gaining great power; he wanted more.
This is why Gnar chose to release all the Impel Down prisoners during this prison break. Rather than cheapening himself like the later-stage clown Buggy, he preferred to turn these prisoners into his own strength.
As for the purpose...
"Jiejiejie..."
If he wanted to make good use of these prisoners and have them work for him voluntarily, fame was crucial. The fastest way to gain fame was to be praised by those who had already achieved great renown.
Just like now, as Magellan finished speaking, whispers began to spread among the prisoners in Level 4.
"I see, Vampire Gnar is this guy's name?!"
"He was actually captured by Marine Admiral Zephyr himself."
"Unbelievable. Even in this hell, he managed to escape. Even the former Golden Lion couldn't do that."
"How ridiculous! Even Baloric Redfield, Douglas Bullet, and San Juan Wolf are willing to follow this guy..."
"This is the benefactor who saved us from this hell..."
Listening to the whispers, Gnar added fuel to the fire and continued to flatter himself with a mischievous grin.
"No, no, no... Director Magellan, you've got it wrong..."
Magellan looked stunned and said with a cold expression.
"What?"
Gnar smiled even more arrogantly.
"Do you really think that being more serious will stop me from escaping?"
Before Magellan could calm his anger, he heard Gnar continue.
"Besides, who told you that I was actually arrested?!"
"!!!"
Magellan was shocked.
The surrounding prisoners, including Athos, Redfield, and Bullet, all looked at Gnar with curiosity. This was also what they were wondering, given Gnar's actions and his familiarity with Impel Down, which suggested things were not as simple as they seemed.
Magellan also reacted, his expression deepening.
"Vampire Gnar, are you trying to tell me that you wanted to be locked up here?"
Gnar's response was direct and almost villainous. He spread his arms as if announcing a grand event.
"Why not!? Although everything currently exceeds my original plan, everything happening in this prison is still going according to my expectations."
These words shocked everyone present.
They were in the world's largest prison, Impel Down, with its iron walls. Yet, Gnar spoke of it as if it were a toy in his hands.
The jailers found it hard to believe, but given the current situation, it seemed like Gnar was in control of Impel Down. On the contrary, the prisoners became excited. Gnar's calmness and confidence gave them hope of escaping this hell.
"Plan? What is that?"
Magellan asked anxiously, eager to uncover Gnar's true purpose.
But at this moment, how could Gnar reveal his plans? He just smiled quietly.
"Do you think I'll tell you? Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough, and by then, my name will resound throughout the seas!"
Seeing Gnar's unwillingness to speak, Magellan realized the conversation was over.
Blue venom swirled around Magellan's body, forming three massive poisonous dragons. He said with a grim expression.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Whether your words are true or false, as long as you stay here, all your plans will come to nothing."
"Try to leave if you can."
With those words, Gnar issued a command like a leader.
"The rest continue forward. Leave Magellan to me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Magellan immediately sprang into action.
"Don't let him escape!"
"Poison Dragon!"
In an instant, the poisonous dragons made a terrifying corrosive sound and attacked the advancing prisoners.
Seeing this, Gnar became intrigued.
"Interesting... Blood Dragon!"
Like a cat mimicking a tiger, three huge blood dragons emerged from Gnar and collided with the three poisonous dragons.
"BOOM..."
Red blood and blue venom splattered everywhere.
The red blood dragons blocked the blue poison dragons for the prisoners.
At the same time, a voice rang out slowly.
"Hey, why are you still dazed? Don't let freedom wait for you too long!!!"
Instantly, inspired by Gnar's words, the prisoners were filled with determination. In such a desperate hell, Gnar had appeared like a beacon of hope and saved them. They roared in unison.
"Leave it to us, Lord Gnar!"
"Charge!!!"
At this moment, Gnar finally achieved what he had set out to do...
