179. Luffy Breaks Into Impel Down

Leo was training in his backyard like usual. Zoro wrapped up in bandages was watching him and trying to figure out something.

Having an audience didn't really matter to Leo, anyway Zoro had already understood sword intent, it's only a matter of time before he forms a domain. Him observing Leo would speed things up.

Spreading out his hands Leo punched the air slowly, his fist was very slow but the air seems to be moving with it. When his hands were stretched out he opened his palms and pulled them back.

His movements were slow, steady and had no interruptions. It was very smooth and Zoro sensed tremendous power behind them.

How does he do that?

Zoro is someone who's aspiring to become the strongest swordsman, it would be insulting if he couldn't even sense what was happening.

After an hour of practice Leo was done.

Pereperepere.

Just then his den-den mushi rang. Raising an eyebrow he picked it up.

"The captain of strawhats broke into Impel Down and has caused a rebellion. You are closer to Impel Down, so get there, immediately."

Kachak.

Sengoku's instructed from the other end and hung up.

This kid, why can't he stay still.

Leo shook his head. He looked at Zoro who was immersed in his own thoughts.

...

Impel Down.

"You aren't going anywhere, Strawhat!"

A giant man wearing a prison uniform yelled at Luffy. Sludge slipped off of his body and fell on the floor.

Sizzzzle...

The ground was corroded by the sludge and gave off toxic fumes.

"Don't touch his body, he is highly toxic!"

A man with a big head with curly eyelashes and wearing a leotard shouted at Luffy.

"Dammit!"

Luffy cursed and jumped back.

Megallan raised his fist and punched out. His arms turned into poison jelly and shot at Luffy and the big headed man.

"Ivanko, we need to get out, fast!"

Luffy said to the big headed man.

Ivanko racked his brains to try and come up with a solution.

"You are not going anywhere!"

Megallan shot forward and attacked. His body turned into poison jelly and blocked every exit.

Ivanko looked around and found a small crack on the wall. He counted the prisoners with him, there were too many.

We still have a chance!

Throwing caution to the wind Ivanko jumped up and winked at Megallan.

Hell Wink!

He blinked once. Megallan who was about to attack was struck by something and thrown back.

Sizzzzle...

Poison fell off of his body as he flew back and charred the ground.

"Let's go!"

Ivanko grabbed Luffy and rushed towards the exit.

The other prisoners followed. They have been squatting down in Impel Down for many years, their thirst for fresh air was unbearable.

"Scums, where do you think you are going!?"

Megallan bounced back up like nothing had happened and rushed in the direction of Ivanko and Luffy.

However Ivanko was fast. He reached the exit before Megallan caught up.

Death Wink!

Ivanko turned back and winked at the exit. A formless power struck and destroyed it. Some of the prisoners managed to make it out while the others were trapped outside.

Megallan fumed when he saw Ivanko and Luffy escape. He took out his anger on the remaining prisoners. By the time he was done only a few remained breathing, the rest ended up dead.

"Check the surveillance snails, find Strawhat Luffy and Ivanko!"

Megallan took out a den-den mushi and ordered.

As the warden of Impel Down it is his duty to guard this ground.

Ivanko swiped the sweat from his forehead and put down Luffy.

"We need to join the others. Since they know we are headed down to level 6 they will definitely be there."

Luffy clenched his fist. Ace, just hold on, I am coming.

As Luffy and Ivanko were making their way down a riot broke loose inside Impel Down.

Megallan grounded his teeth when he checked the surveillance snails. Every level from 1 to 4 was a mess.

The guards were killed and their keys were robbed. He had no idea how many prisoners were lose.

Damn!

He slammed his fist on the table.

Suddenly a message came through the den-den mushi placed on his table.

"Warden, headquarters send back up!"

Megallan's eyes lit up, "Who is it?"

"It's me Megallan."

A familiar voice came through the den-denen mushi. Megallan broke out into a smile, it looked ferocious.

After a while Leo walked in through the doors.

"It's good that you are here."

Leo nodded, he asked, "I thought there were two wardens, what happened to the other one?"

Megallan had a annoyed expression on his face, "Shiliew is locked up for torturing and killing prisoners."

Leo raised an eyebrow, "Well... he is twisted. The last time I was here, he was locked away as well?"

Megallan nodded, "That guy is unpredictable, and too cocky. He isn't suited in a joint battle."

Leo didn't ask further and looked through the surveillance footage. His face hardened when he saw what was happening.

A cold light flashed through his eyes as he said, "I will take care of the lower levels."

Megallan nodded. He was well aware of Leo's strength, it wasn't a problem for him to take care of these guys.

...

The freed prisoners were wrecking havoc through the lower levels.

"This guy is dead."

A pudgy guy kicked a guard who was bloodied all over and walked away.

"Ptui! Ain't so arrogant now."

Another guy who was thin but very tall spat at the guard's dead body and stepped over him. Several more prisoners who were standing at a respectable distance quickly followed these two.

As they were moving towards the path leading to the upper levels a silhouette walked towards them.

The pudgy man and the thin tall guy narrowed their eyes. Soon they saw who it was and grinned.

"Look, a pretty boy."

The prisoners laughed heartily.

"Hey, nice clothes you have there. Wanna trade?"

The pudgy guy grinned and walked towards Leo. However he only took three steps before his head slid down his body. His body didn't react and continued to move forward.

It took two more seconds for his body lose it's strength and fall down. Blood spilled out like a spring and dyed the ground red.
