Chapter 208: Scorching Hell - Team Battle.

Ten days later:

"Tsk, fruit abilities really don't make sense."

"You..."

The battle started abruptly and ended even quicker! Looking at the dismembered The White Knight on the snowy ground, the revolutionary Inazuma was dumbfounded. —I didn't even use any strength, and you're already down?

If it weren't for Impel Down's deputy warden Domino lying nearby, proving that this pure white armor was also a 'master'. Inazuma would have thought he had been affected by some strange fruit ability...

No, seriously thinking about it, could it be that he was actually under the influence of some fruit ability now?

While Lightning was doubting his life, the The White Knight on the ground scattered into sheets of white paper and then reassembled with a rustling sound.

This is too unreasonable, his The White Knight was at least at Rear Admiral level, with all sorts of strange and unpredictable methods. But in front of Lightning, he was like real white paper, cut in half without any resistance!

Fortunately, this was an 'ally', otherwise, Roman would have had a headache.

"Ahem, back to the point, I have something important to discuss with you—"

"About your leader 'Dragon'."

---

"Special Buggy Bomb!"

A rice-sized bomb exploded with a bang, a cloud of smoke rising like a fist, showcasing the bomb's power! The white dove in front turned around to look at the red-nosed Buggy.

The pirates in this world are really versatile, even a fool like Buggy could be considered half a scientist... although only in the field of explosives.

"Mr. 3!"

Facing Luffy's shout, Mr. 3 nodded and extended his hand.

"Go, Straw Hat—Candle Lock."

A thick circle of candles wrapped around Luffy's fist, like a steel gauntlet, giving Luffy immense 'mass'.

"Rubber-Hammer Spin!"

At the same time, Bon Clay also spun and accelerated, leaping into the air, kicking down with a force that could crush everything in its path, smashing into the enemy's face in an instant.

"Memoirs of the Winter Sky!"

With three big moves landing, the tall pursuers behind them fell like mountains collapsing and pillars toppling. Luffy and his friends cheered excitedly!

"We took him down!"

"Damned prison monster, now you know the power of Lord Buggy, right?"

It was a monster standing eight meters tall, looking like a cow, holding a huge spiked club. Facing the cheering Luffy and others, The White Knight had to pour cold water on their excitement.

"Don't get too happy too soon,"

"These guys are 'awakened' Zoan-type ability users, their biggest traits are tough skin and fast regeneration!"

"If you keep delaying, he'll soon recover and get back up..."

"Ahhhh, how can there be such monsters in this world???"

Seeing the panicked group of four, The White Knight tilted his head.

You four ability users, aren't you also monsters in the eyes of ordinary people? How can you call others monsters?

"Run, start running!"

The White Knight flapped his wings and pointed towards the thick fog ahead.

"If you don't want to die, hurry up~~~"

Under The White Knight's urging, Luffy, Buggy, Mr. 3, and Bon Clay started sprinting forward, but a wave of heat hit them in the face!

"So hot, Roman—"

Luffy, with his tongue hanging out, ran like a husky.

"Meat! Water! Wine!"

"Alright, alright, you can eat whatever you want after two more levels~~"

"Oh oh oh, I have strength again!"

A trick called 'looking at meat to quench thirst' made Luffy suddenly speed up, and then:

"Huh?"

"Huh huh huh?" x3

As they ran, the four of them were simultaneously shocked! Because under their feet:

"Ahhhh, why are we in the air?!"

"Where—where's the road??"

Facing the group of four who had run out of the vent and were now hugging each other in mid-air, the leading The White Knight calmly nodded.

"No road is right, because—"

Whoosh!

Before he finished speaking, the group of four started free-falling under gravity.

"Below is the fourth level: Scorching Hell."

??

"Ahhhh, help!!" "We'll fall into the blood pool and be burned to charcoal—"

"#%%&*..."

"Hehehe, what a quick route!"

Facing the laughing Luffy, the other three were furious.

"You're still laughing at the brink of death?"

"It's all your fault, what kind of route did your crew take?!"

"Straw Hat, we don't ask to be born on the same day, but—"

Facing the tearful Buggy, Bon Clay, and Mr. 3, Luffy just confidently smiled and looked at The White Knight beside him.

"Roman will figure something out."

"Hmph,"

The White Knight tilted his head to the side, too lazy to bother with these clowns. However:

Just as Luffy said, he didn't lead them this way to become hotpot ingredients, but to catch the enemy off guard:

Rustle~~

As the group of four fell, the sound of flapping wings came from below! A group of white doves broke through the smoke and flew under them, then:

Click click click,

They combined and transformed—

"Oh oh oh, that's great."

"What a convenient ability..."

"I feel relieved~~"

"Hehehe, Roman is very reliable!"

The white doves quickly formed a paper airplane, carrying the four and turning their fall into a glide. Under Roman's control, they swiftly moved away.

**Floor Passage.**

*Sniff sniff*

"Roman, I smell food!!"

An excited Luffy exclaimed, but the white dove next to the paper airplane carrying the four of them remained unmoved.

"This is the enemy's headquarters, and you still want to eat and drink?"

Moreover, the entire prison's higher-ups' combat power: Warden: Magellan, three awakened Zoan types, Vice Warden: Hannyabal, Chief Jailer: Sadi... There should have been another Deputy Warden, Domino, but she's currently down on the fifth level.

All these people are gathered at the stairway from the third to the fourth level, and not far from there is the stairway to the fifth level. —Roman had no intention of 'bumping into' these people, especially with Magellan present.

Without a doubt, being able to suppress so many experts on the sixth level and single-handedly imprison Shiryuu, Magellan is definitely one of the top combat forces in this world. Fruit awakening, Haki mastery, if there's any flaw, it's probably diarrhea and slow movement speed.

In the narrow environment of Impel Down, the flaw of slow movement is not so obvious. —However, if it weren't for the many expert prisoners in the prison, each with their Observation Haki interfering with each other, Roman wouldn't have the chance to play this 'hide and seek' game here.

"Roman, where are we going now?"

Facing Luffy's question, the white dove next to the paper airplane answered.

"We're going to the Warden's office."

?!

"Are you crazy!"

"Isn't going there walking right into a trap?"

"Calm down," facing the panicked Buggy and Mr. 3, the white dove continued to explain, "Right now, Magellan... no, the entire Impel Down's forces are at the stairway from the fourth to the third level, and the stairway to the fifth level. Going there would be walking right into a trap."

"Then... is there a secret passage in the Warden's office?"

Looking at Ivankov, who immediately thought of something, the white dove nodded. As expected of an escape expert, quick thinking.

"The Warden's office has an 'employee-only elevator', we can use that—"

Boom boom boom!!

"Don't even think about it!"

At this moment, a purple poison dragon, like a mad python turning over, or a flood dragon emerging from the sea, came killing towards the people on the paper airplane from a distance!

Silently, wherever the purple dragon passed, steel and giant stones turned into molten iron and lava under the poison, then melted and flowed like mud, as if a Sea King was breaking through the sea surface! The momentum was huge and unstoppable.

The poison dragon came crashing towards Luffy and the others! And in this poison, a tall figure glided closer as if in liquid.

"Poison Passage!"

"Trouble, reacting so quickly..."

The white dove glanced at the Warden's office still some distance away and had to press the airplane down, throwing everyone to the ground. —If it were before, Roman would have thrown Buggy and the others as bait without a second thought. But now:

Rustle~~

"Ivankov, find the passage!"

Sheets of white paper wrapped around Luffy, and at the same time, the white dove looked at Mr. 3 next to him.

"Mr. 3, add wax armor."

"Buggy... do whatever you want..."

???

"Are you looking down on me!?"

The white dove ignored the jumping Buggy and quickly formed a gas mask on Luffy's face.

"Luffy, it's time to go."

"Oh!!"

Covered in a layer of paper and armored with candles, Luffy, looking like a small giant, responded! He immediately swung his fist towards the just-landed Magellan.

"Straw Hat Luffy—"

The opponent was not to be outdone, and a massive fist covered in rolling poison came crashing down.

Boom!!
