"Ah!!!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
After Gnar's exclamation of luck rang out, all kinds of crazy laughter erupted in the huge cage where he was.
"I really didn't expect that..."
"This is the first time I've heard someone locked up here say they're lucky..."
"Are you already crazy just after arriving?"
"Hahaha, you're such a thin-skinned brat. Come here and let me get a good look at you..."
Gnar paid no attention to the crazy laughter and was lost in thought.
"I finally made it in!"
Throughout the entire process, Gnar had been prepared to adapt to various situations and even planned to escape immediately if something went wrong. However, he did not expect to infiltrate Impel Down so easily.
The reason for this risky action was simple: he had no choice.
From the moment he entered the Grand Line—or more precisely, after meeting Robin and setting his first goal in life—Gnar understood that it was impossible for him to remain idle in this world. Even if he did not actively pursue a goal, this chaotic era would force him into the world's most powerful organizations: the antithesis of the World Government.
He wasn't a protagonist like Luffy.
From birth to growing up and setting out to sea, Luffy had noble figures supporting him every step of the way.
The son of the Revolutionary Dragon, the grandson of Marine hero Garp, the heir to the red-haired will, the user of the Nika fruit, the younger brother of Roger's son, and the younger brother of the Chief Staff Officer of the Revolutionary Army...
The list goes on.
Such a background is legendary!
Even if Luffy didn't have these noble figures, he could always find extremely reliable partners with equally brilliant backgrounds.
Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Franky—all of them don't have huge backgrounds behind them. Even Nami, who seemed to be an ordinary person, had one of the best navigator talents.
What does Gnar have?
He has nothing; all he can rely on is himself.
It's not like he hasn't considered finding some reliable partners.
But unfortunately, the luck of golden players like Luffy is an exception. Most of the silver players in this sea are lucky to find one or two reliable partners.
Just like the supernovas of the same generation as Luffy!
Even for Law and Kid, who already have significant roles, only one or two of their partners are well-known.
And, to be honest, Gnar wasn't interested either.
Perhaps because he is a time traveler influenced by some ideas from his previous life, he only believes in himself. In the world of One Piece, betrayal by partners is common.
For Gnar, instead of wasting time searching for so-called partners, it is better to focus on improving his strength.
Later, with the development of his fruit power and the ability to control others with blood and create clones, Gnar completely gave up on seeking partners.
However, being alone also has its disadvantages.
When facing real dangers, Gnar cannot always rely on the help of various noble figures like the protagonist Luffy.
Therefore, he needs to master world-shaking power in the shortest possible time to handle such dangers.
This is extremely important to him.
Fortunately, Gnar's fruit ability provided the means to obtain such power.
Based on his ability to control blood, the Zoan-type Eidolon Species, Bat Fruit, and Vampire form give him four incredible abilities:
Obtain vitality by sucking blood.
Create various clones through blood.
Control people using abilities similar to those of a vampire.
Acquire the Devil Fruit abilities of others by absorbing their blood.
Unfortunately, Gnar has understood since he arrived in this world that he is not part of the D family, nor does he have any special bloodline or race. He is just an ordinary human in this world.
The physical strength that allows him to compete with Marine Admiral Black Arm Zephyr relies entirely on the first ability of his fruit. For this, he spent a full five years absorbing the blood of countless Sea Kings and various life forms to achieve his current physique.
Does he have another five years?!
Gnar didn't know, but one thing he knew was that from the moment he entered the Grand Line, the sea would not give him time to develop slowly. The fact that Marine Admiral Black Arm Zephyr personally came out to capture him was proof enough.
Moreover, even if he had five more years, would he really be able to withstand the true monsters of this world?
Not to mention the Shichibukai, Three Admirals, Four Emperors, or the Celestial Dragons, Five Elders, and Imu who appeared later—he did not have any confidence.
In the absence of time, to obtain more powerful abilities, he had to take shortcuts.
That is to rely on his fourth ability: acquiring the Devil Fruit abilities of others by absorbing their blood.
He had never revealed this ability to outsiders. Even Robin, who had been with him for a year, did not know about it because he understood that if the World Government knew, he wouldn't have survived this long.
Even during his battle with Zephyr, he showed no signs of this ability.
In the battle at Alabasta, he also channeled this ability into his own power to create clones through misdirection.
He understood that he could only reveal this ability when he had gained enough power to protect himself.
Now, the opportunity had arrived...
In the world of One Piece, where Devil Fruit powers exist, many abilities can shake the entire sea.
If he could form an army of powerful Devil Fruit clones, like Kaido, even if the Marine and World Government could form their own Devil Fruit army, Gnar would no longer be afraid.
However, hunting for those ability users at sea is unreliable. It is inefficient and risky. But in Impel Down, it's different.
After all, which place in the sea has the most Devil Fruit users?
Aside from the Marines, World Government, and various pirate groups, Impel Down is known to imprison countless vicious criminals who once terrorized the sea.
Although the Golden Lion escaped from prison seven years ago, the Devil Fruits left behind in Impel Down still make Gnar greedy. For example, one of his main goals this time: the Momo Fruit of the World Destroyer Byrnndi Waldo.
In addition to those bosses, the Devil Fruits owned by members of the Blackbeard Pirates also make him very covetous.
For example, at this moment, the giants imprisoned in this prison with him, as huge as mountains: San Juan Wolf, the user of the Paramecia-type Expansion Fruit, were all staring at him with mouths full of blood and saliva.
Gnar grinned and said with a childlike innocence,
"Well, I'm so hungry, can I eat you?"
Gnar grinned.
"Ah, of course!!!"
