One Blow

"No!"

"It's more accurate to say that the redhead is as famous as he is!"

Ivankov corrected.

"Famous as One Piece?"

Luffy's eyes widened, his heart racing at the gravity of those words.

"Straw Hat kid!"

Whitebeard, impatient to linger, reminded Luffy, "Ace has been taken to Marineford. If you want to save him, follow us!"

With those words, Whitebeard and his group moved on, leaving Luffy and his companions in a state of shock.

"Ace has been taken away?"

Luffy snapped back to reality.

"We seem to be a step behind. Straw Hat boy, as Whitebeard said, if we want to save Ace, we'll have to go to Marineford."

"But Marineford is Marine headquarters, and there are many Marines..."

Ivankov looked concerned.

But Luffy interrupted him determinedly, "No matter where I have to go, I'll save Ace!"

With resolve, Luffy hurried to catch up with Whitebeard's group.

Watching them leave, Ivankov couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Who would have thought that Whitebeard would come to Impel Down before going to Marineford and gather all these prisoners."

"With their power, there might be a real chance to rescue Ace, but it won't be easy!"

"Let's catch up quickly!"

Imazuna sipped a glass of red wine and urged.

"Right!"

Ivankov nodded and followed suit.

They retraced their steps through the prison layers, back to the entrance of the Marine prison.

Joz had gathered the surviving prisoners and was ready to rendezvous with Whitebeard. Seeing him, Whitebeard inquired, "Joz, is the assembly complete?"

"Yes!"

"All the surviving prisoners are here!"

Joz confirmed.

"Then let's go!"

Whitebeard wasted no time and headed straight for the exit of Impel Down. They had spent enough time gathering the prisoners, and now it was crucial to make it to Marineford without delay.

"White... Whitebeard!"

"And alongside him, there's Ryder, World, Sand Crocodile, and Jinbei!"

"Are these guys really planning to stir up trouble at Marineford?"

Buggy, who had been hiding, couldn't help but shake with anxiety. He had hoped to escape in the chaos, but it seemed that things were taking a turn for the worse. With a resigned sigh, he reluctantly followed the group.

Outside Impel Down, the battle between Bista and Magellan had escalated into a fierce confrontation. Sword light and venom clashed, with Magellan unleashing his deadly poisons and Bista wielding his crescent-shaped sword.

The two combatants were locked in a ferocious exchange, but they paused when they heard a commotion. Turning their attention away from each other, they saw Whitebeard emerging from Impel Down with a horde of prisoners.

"What?!"

Magellan's eyes constricted into narrow slits as he surveyed the scene, cold sweat trickling down from his forehead. Before him stood an assembly of formidable individuals: Jinbei, Crocodile, Ryder, World, Bullet, Dai Peng, Wicked Wolf, Basque Choate, Abarro Pi Salo, Ivankov, Imazuna, and even Luffy, the Straw Hat pirate he believed to be dead.

All of Impel Down's most dangerous prisoners were now gathered before him. To make matters worse, Shiryu, the former guard of Impel Down, was among them.

"Shiryu!" Magellan growled with fury, his face contorted with anger. "As a Marine general, you conspire with these prisoners?"

Shiryu responded with a wicked grin, his eyes filled with amusement. "Don't forget, I used to be one of these prisoners!"

Magellan realized he had made a grave error in trusting Shiryu of Rain, allowing all the prisoners in Eternal Hell to escape.

"Father!" Bista sheathed his sword and rushed toward Whitebeard. However, after scanning the area, he couldn't find Ace. "Pops, where's Ace?"

"Ace has been taken to Marineford," Whitebeard explained.

"What?!" Bista's face turned pale.

"We need to end this battle quickly and leave," Whitebeard urged.

Magellan, realizing his dire situation, refused to give up. He unleashed his ultimate technique, "Poison Giant Soldier·Hell's Judgment," causing a massive red venomous figure to appear and charge toward the group.

"Magellan, get out of the way!" Whitebeard bellowed, his eyes burning with determination.

With a powerful swing of his arms, Whitebeard released an immense burst of peak-level power. The air shattered around him, forming cracks that rapidly spread. The shockwaves reverberated through the surroundings, causing colossal waves to surge and the earth to rupture.

In this awe-inspiring display of might, everything visible quaked. The ten-thousand-foot-tall waves rose into the sky, and the earth ruptured like a colossal dragon. The overwhelming shockwave struck the venomous skeleton head-on.

Boom!

The skull of the poison giant burst like an inflated balloon, and the venom that filled the sky was forcefully repelled by the shockwave. Magellan, too, was caught in the shockwave and sent hurtling through the air, crashing into the city wall.

As the vibrations dissipated, the towering waves transformed into a torrential downpour, falling back into the sea. Magellan lay on the ground, his face smeared with blood, unconscious.

In just one strike, Whitebeard had defeated Impel Down's warden, Magellan!

The onlookers were left stunned by the incredible display of power.
