Chapter 52 S-Level Reward, Kryptonian Bloodline!

"Are you going to trample on my justice, Kuzan?"

Akainu and Aokiji were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to yield.

The scorching magma and freezing frost clashed repeatedly.

The surrounding space trembled violently, and the ground began to crack.

Carlos frowned.

If this continues, a war is inevitable.

These two Marine Admirals were terrifyingly powerful, and they were both Logia users.

With just a few gestures, they could unleash attacks like natural disasters.

In the original plot, the two fought for seven days and nights for the position of Fleet Admiral, which permanently altered the climate and landscape of Punk Hazard, turning it into an "Island of Ice and Fire."

If these two were allowed to fight here, everyone present would be affected.

The entire Wano could be destroyed!

Kozuki Hiyori, Denjiro, Shutenmaru, and the others were not only Carlos's companions but also important to him.

Countless innocent civilians lived in Wano as well.

Now that they had finally defeated the Beasts Pirates, how could they bear to see their home destroyed?

Carlos stepped forward and looked directly at Akainu.

"Don't you want to capture me? Fine, I'll go to Impel Down with you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience turned their attention to Carlos.

"Lord Garros! No!"

"I can't bear to see my benefactor taken away like this!"

"Don't worry, you're the hero who saved Wano. We won't let them succeed!"

"Is it just fighting? We have enough warriors to face him!"

For a long time, Wano had been closed off from the outside world, with simple customs and many warriors.

Carlos's heroics were deeply imprinted in their hearts.

It would be an exaggeration to say that his status was akin to that of a god.

Now someone wanted to arrest him?

How could the warriors tolerate this?

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, shouting as if they were ready to rush into battle.

Fortunately, Denjiro and the others held them back, preventing a fight from breaking out.

Aokiji and Akainu were taken aback by this reaction.

They stood frozen for a moment.

After a while,

Aokiji nodded, looking at Carlos with a hint of approval.

"If you're willing to surrender, that would be great."

"Don't worry, unlike pirates, we are not an organization that uses excessive violence."

"Under our escort, you and Kaido will be safely taken to Impel Down to await your final trial at Enies Lobby."

He glanced at Akainu and added in a deep voice:

"Sakazuki, what do you think?"

Akainu looked around, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slowly.

"Boy, I advise you not to get too hopeful."

"Impel Down is known as the pirate's grave. Once you're locked up there, you'll die slowly in pain and despair."

Faced with Akainu's threats, Carlos remained expressionless and found it somewhat amusing.

Suddenly, he felt a tight grip on his clothes from behind.

Carlos looked back.

Kozuki Hiyori was clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, worry etched on her face.

"Don't worry. They'll let me go soon enough."

Akainu, standing nearby, crossed his arms and sneered disdainfully.

Carlos ignored him and continued speaking to Hiyori:

"Hiyori, remember what I told you."

"Open up Wano and start trading with the outside world. Use the money to improve the people's lives and earn their support. At the same time, build swordsmanship schools and train more strong warriors."

"This is the way to ensure the country's peace and the people's safety, and it's also your responsibility as the ruler of Wano."

Hiyori stared blankly at Carlos's retreating figure, tears welling up in her eyes.

She recalled the night her father died in front of her and the despair she felt while fleeing.

To avoid being pursued, she and He Songdong had spent years hiding.

She remembered their first meeting, chatting under the lights.

Carlos, transforming into a warrior giant and slaying a dragon with one sword...

Countless memories flashed through her mind, and the emotions in her heart were indescribable.

She wiped her tears and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Don't worry! I-I will definitely do it!"

Under the silent gaze of the onlookers,

Carlos was shackled with sea stone and, along with Kaido, was escorted to the warship by Akainu and Aokiji and placed in a special cell.

"Ding! Host's faction (Beasts Pirates) has been completely destroyed."

"Checking..."

"Testing completed."

"Host initiated a rebellion, killed or captured all personnel, defeated the leader, and handed them over to Marine. This behavior matches that of the second and fifth generation. Final rating: S."

"Strength rating: S."

"The conditions for the reward for Er Wu Zai have been met!"

"Overall rating: S."

"Rewards are being distributed..."

"Congratulations to Host for acquiring Kryptonian blood!"

"Do you want to receive it?"

Receive!

In the next moment, a majestic and immense power surged within his body, nourishing his limbs and bones.

After the battle with Kaido, his exhausted body immediately felt revitalized.

Carlos couldn't help but sigh in comfort, silently feeling the changes within him.

In just a short time, his strength, speed, endurance, and recovery...

Every aspect of his body underwent dramatic changes.

He hadn't expected the system would reward him with Kryptonian blood!

The effort he put in was truly worth it!

The Kryptonian, also known as Superman, was a classic superhero with a widely known image, and Carlos was no exception.

"Open the panel."

Carlos thought silently.

[Host]: Carlos

[Age]: 27

[Abilities]: Armament Haki (Excellent Level), Observation Haki (Excellent Level), Conqueror's Haki (Grandmaster Level), Swordsmanship (Penultimate Level), Marine Six Styles (Control Level), Life Return (Proficient Level), Kryptonian Bloodline (Entry Level)

[Skills]: Deep Behind Enemy Lines, Shark Bullet Technique, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (Inferno Style·Flame Control, Susanoo), Noh Absorption

[Identity]: World Government (CP0)

Although the Kryptonian bloodline was still in its infancy, it granted him a new skill—energy absorption.

His body could spontaneously absorb and store light and radiation emitted by stars to strengthen itself.

And it would gradually unlock a series of Kryptonian abilities such as heat vision, super intelligence, super strength, super vision, and more.

In other words, he could continue to grow stronger without exercising or sunbathing.

Although currently not as powerful as the A+ level Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan,

It had unlimited potential!

"When the development of my bloodline progresses, if I can reach the level of Silver Age Superman..."

Silver Age Superman.

With just a breath, he could create hurricanes, change the weather, and even extinguish stars.

A super sneeze could destroy the entire solar system.

So powerful that he could move multiple planets,

And pull at least a dozen planets from a black hole using sheer physical strength.

His speed could exceed the speed of light, breaking the time barrier and traveling to the past...

If he could truly reach that level in the future, he would be beyond the realm of biology!

He could be considered a god!

Thinking of this, Carlos couldn't help but be fascinated.

After the joy, Carlos couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Beside him is Kaido, who remains in a coma.

This guy truly deserves the title of the strongest creature.

Not only did he survive such severe injuries, but his wounds are also healing quickly.

At this rate, he'll probably wake up within a few days.

The Marines clearly regard this Sea Emperor with high importance.

Kaido's neck, limbs, torso, and entire body are wrapped in countless sea stone chains.

Akainu also seems to be aware of Carlos's previous actions, treating him with the same level of caution.

He is wearing enormous sea stone shackles on his hands and feet, with several arm-thick chains tying him to the entire cell.

Carlos tested the restraints silently.

Though he has only an entry-level superhuman bloodline, his strength has significantly increased.

With the addition of Armament Haki's "internal destruction" skills, breaking free wouldn't be difficult.

But doing so would create a tremendous noise.

It would be troublesome if the Marines were alerted.

Facing two Admirals, Akainu and Aokiji, along with five Vice Admirals at the same time, is certainly not a wise choice.

Carlos can only wait for the World Government to receive the news and send people to Impel Down for his rescue.

There's no use in overthinking it. It's better to wait and accept what comes.

Carlos sighed, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Two days later.

The warship passed through the Gate of Justice and approached the Impel Down port.

The port was bustling with jailers waiting to greet them.

Marine Admiral Akainu and his entourage were met with the highest standard of reception.

Under the nervous gazes of countless onlookers,

The warship slowly docked and anchored.

Akainu tossed his cloak and strode down the ship's ladder.

Behind him were Aokiji, Ghost Spider, Daibutsu, and others.

A man wearing a pharaoh's headdress, looking like a ghastly apparition, with a big belly and a trident in hand, quickly walked forward.

He bowed respectfully and said:

"You must be Admiral Akainu?"

"I am Hannyabal, the Director of Impel Down! I'm here to handle the transfer."

Akainu frowned slightly.

"If I remember correctly, isn't the highest officer of Impel Down Magellan?"

"Where are the others?"

Hannyabal laughed heartily, placing his hands on his hips with a proud expression.

"Director Magellan is unwell and cannot receive you at this time."

"So, it falls to me, Hannyabal, to fulfill the role of director."

"Don't worry, everyone! I'm much more reliable than he is. I can handle these pirates with ease!"

Akainu pointed to the warship.

"Then do you know who they are?"

"Kaido and Garros."

As soon as these names were spoken, the entire area fell silent.

The jailers widened their eyes, staring in disbelief at the warship.

"Don't worry, we will accompany them until they are safely imprisoned."

Hannyabal cleared his throat and said,

"Well, before we proceed, let's make some preparations."

"Arrange everything quickly."

The jailers began the process of registering and processing Kaido and Carlos.

The so-called "baptism" usually involves submerging the prisoner in boiling water.

Initially, it was meant to eliminate bacteria and viruses carried by prisoners.

Over time, it evolved into a cruel method of punishment to deter unruly and evil-doing prisoners.

Of course, this was nothing to Kaido and Carlos.

Instead of discomfort, it felt like a hot bath to them.

After completing the preparatory work,

Hannyabal led everyone through the elevator directly to the fourth floor.

As they walked, he proudly introduced the area.

Impel Down, the world's premier prison.

It is located deep in the Calm Belt and surrounded by countless Sea Kings.

It is also known as the Pirate's Tomb.

Powerful troops are stationed on each floor, and surveillance bugs are placed in every corner.

With sea stone fences as thick as an arm, escape is virtually impossible.

Not to mention, Magellan guards this place.

Once imprisoned here, it essentially means the end of one's life.

The fourth floor is a ring-shaped structure, with cells lining the outer corridor.

In the center is a boiling pool of blood and a sea of fire.

Bubbles gurgled, emitting intense heat.

In this harsh environment, the prisoners lost all vitality.

They showed no reaction to the arrival of everyone.

Their eyes were full of numbness and despair.

They lay quietly on the ground, waiting for death.

Although it was not his first time here,

Akainu still looked at the miserable state of the prisoners with interest.

"Garros, do you see that? This is what happens to pirates."

Carlos paid no attention, as if he hadn't heard.

He didn't show the expected reaction of begging or pleading.

Akainu felt inexplicably irritated.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can keep up this pretense."

They continued down to the fifth floor, Freezing Hell.

The temperature suddenly dropped to dozens of degrees below zero.

The weak, flickering candlelight revealed the prisoners' numbed faces.

"Help me!"

"Please, let me out!"

"I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again..."

Weak but desperate cries came from the prisoners.

Hannyabal turned around, his face beaming with pride.

"The prisoners on this floor are all pirates with bounties over 100 million."

"No matter how powerful or tenacious they are, in this Freezing Hell, colder than any icehouse, they'll freeze to death soon enough!"

"The criminals on the sixth floor are even more fearsome. They're legendary figures, and their fate is even worse!"

Akainu nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Then he suddenly asked:

"In that case, these two should be locked up on the sixth floor, right?"

Though it was a question, his tone was unmistakable.

Hannyabal responded seriously:

"Of course. One has a bounty of over 4 billion beli, and the other 1.5 billion beli. They're certainly destined for the sixth floor."

"To be honest, if it weren't for your presence, I wouldn't have dared escort these two..."

They arrived at the sixth floor, Eternal Hell.

Crunch—

The sudden noise seemed to alert the prisoners.

In the darkness, where nothing could be seen,

Countless evil and cruel eyes turned towards them.

"Hannyabal, it's rare to see you here! Where is Magellan? Is he slacking off again? Hahaha!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, so many Marine escorts. Akainu, Aokiji, and all these familiar faces. These two newcomers must be significant!"

Under the dim light, the prisoners kept their eyes fixed on everyone.

"This guy being carried seems to be Kaido?"

"Did he get captured too? Marine, you did well!"

"Who is the other guy? He looks a bit unfamiliar."

"He looks quite handsome. Hey! Lock him up with me!"

The arrival of the group instantly stirred the sixth floor.

The prisoners' arrogant shouts and excited howls echoed in all directions.

Perhaps this was the only way to add a bit of excitement to their dark, desperate lives day after day.
