Chapter 73: Living in Level Six
What? Taking the blame for Domino?
Why?
Why should I?
Vivian was a bit annoyed. He wasn't the one who let the prisoners escape, so why should he take the fall?
Besides, if they just put the prisoners back now, no one would know they escaped. Why…
As he was thinking this, he turned a corner and saw a tall figure with two horns on its head.
Vivian: "…"
"Warden Magellan?" He swallowed nervously and greeted him.
Hearing his voice, Magellan turned and looked at him, then asked in a very displeased tone, "Can someone tell me what is going on? Why did the prisoners escape?"
Hearing this, Domino's expression immediately tightened, and a drop of cold sweat fell from her forehead, dripping from her nose to the ground.
What should I do?
What should I do now?
Should I tell the truth…
But what if I get fired from Impel Down because of this?
Domino, who had practically grown up in the prison, was really scared at this moment.
However, facing Magellan's question, she still mustered the courage and bit her lip, saying, "I'm sorry, it was me…"
"It was me!" Before she could finish, Vivian interrupted. "It was my carelessness that let them escape…"
Vivian said, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, lowering his head with a deeply ashamed expression. "I'm really sorry, it was my negligence during patrol that allowed the prisoners to steal my keys, leading to this mistake. I'm sorry, Warden Magellan…"
Domino: (⊙o⊙)?
"I see, it was your negligence that caused this?" Magellan stared at Vivian for a long time. Seeing Vivian's sincere remorse, he finally softened his expression a bit and sighed, "You've only been transferred here for half a month, and the prisoners here are all cunning. Making such a mistake is understandable…"
What does that mean?
Is he planning to forgive me?
Vivian, who had been prepared to be poisoned by Magellan after being punched twice by Garp, was suddenly relieved.
Looks like this task isn't always so bad.
"However…" Magellan continued, "Punishment is still necessary. Your salary will be docked for three months, and during these three months, you are not allowed to use the wish list and can only operate within Level Six."
Vivian: ???
What the heck!
Docking my salary is one thing, I have enough savings. But not being able to use the wish list for three months… that means no cigars for three months?
I was just half a month away from getting my cigars, and now you're telling me I can't use them?
And only operate within Level Six?
Are you kidding me!
Level Six is where the world's most dangerous criminals are held, and you want me, a former Navy Petty Officer and now a chief guard, to live there for three months?
No way!
Absolutely not!
Whoever goes there is a fool!
"Um, Warden Magellan." Vivian began to argue.
"Hmm?" Magellan looked down, staring directly at Vivian.
"Uh… I mean, is there a place to sleep on the sixth level besides the cells? Can Uncle Issho and the others come down to see me?"
"There is a duty room with a bed, a private bathroom, and a stove for cooking. And I'm only restricting your freedom; everyone else can still move freely within Impel Down."
"That's good, that's good…" Vivian laughed and nodded.
With that, Magellan casually picked up the collapsed prisoner with two fingers and turned to head to the fourth floor.
These guys dared to escape; it looks like I'll have to throw a couple into the boiling pot to remind the others.
…
One day later.
Sixth level, Infinite Hell.
Vivian sat in the less than fifty square meter duty room, legs crossed, scrolling through his phone.
On the stove behind him, a pot of fragrant chicken soup was simmering, attracting the attention of the prisoners in the nearby cells.
"Hey… kid, what are you cooking? Bring some over for me to taste, will you? Mmm…"
The speaker was a tall woman with a nose similar to Usopp's, heavily made up but still unable to hide her ugly appearance.
Hearing the creepy laugh, Vivian yawned and glanced at the woman.
Catarina Devon…
A notorious pirate with an unknown bounty in the billions.
After being rescued by Blackbeard, she joined his crew and became the captain of the sixth ship under Blackbeard.
Recalling this, Vivian absentmindedly searched for all the characters imprisoned on the sixth level in the original story.
"Height: 3.61 meters, age: 34, Zoan-type Mythical Beast, Dog-Dog Fruit, Nine-Tailed Fox form."
Damn, your fruit's name is so long?
It's even longer than my Thunder Breathing techniques…
"Hey, kid, didn't you hear me? I told you to bring the food over. Are you deaf?" Devon shouted again.
The next second.
Zap—!
A bolt of lightning shot out from the duty room door, directly into the cell.
Devon, who had been leaning against the cell door, was struck by the lightning and flew back, crashing into the stone wall behind her. Her braided hair turned into an afro.
"That damn brat…" Trembling all over, with her skin emitting a slight burnt smell, Devon got up from the ground in shock.
In the other cells, including Shiryu's, all the pirates who witnessed this scene showed the same surprised expression as Devon.
"It seems this new jailer is quite strong."
A hint of fear appeared in their eyes.
Meanwhile…
"Vivian, I'm here to see you!"
Wearing sunglasses and a military cap, Domino, carrying a large iron box in one hand and a fruit basket in the other, swayed her sexy figure as she happily walked down the stairs, then quickened her pace, smiling as she approached Vivian.
