Chapter 353: Monsters Escape! (Two-in-One)
Ji Guoyuan held Magellan in his hands, stood on the sand, and looked around.
The environment of the Hunger Hell is no different from the desert. The hot air hits your face. Although there is no scorching sun in this space, the sand under your feet is extremely hot.
The prisoners surrounding Tsugikuni Yoriichi had sweat oozing out of their faces. The sweat beads slid down their cheeks, gathered into sweat drops at the tip of their chins, and fell on the sand.
“Zizi——”
There were soft sounds coming from the sand.
This is the hunger hell on the third floor underground in Impel Down City, a Jedi where ordinary people simply cannot survive normally.
If the prisoners in the first two floors of the city could live a relatively stable prison life as long as they behaved themselves, then starting from the third underground floor, what the prisoners would face was a real hell.
"call"
He took a deep breath, and the hot air rushed into Tsugikuni Yuichi's nostrils.
Yuichiro Tsuchikoku, who had always had no expression on his face, actually revealed an intoxicated expression at this moment. Ordinary people would feel uncomfortable breathing in this hot air, but Yuichiro Tsuchikoku felt an inexplicable sense of comfort from the bottom of his heart.
Tsugumi Yoshiichi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was enjoying the scorching air in this hungry hell.
Even Tsugumi Yoshiichi himself didn't notice the expression on his face.
He just felt that the environment on this floor made him feel comfortable.
The prisoners looked at the silent Tsugakuni Yoriichi and could not help but look at each other. They all noticed that the word "justice" on the cloak Tsugakuni Yoriichi was too conspicuous.
Moreover, some prisoners recognized Magellan, who was covered in blood and was being held by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.
The prisoners exchanged glances and made a quick decision.
"bass!!"
A sudden, soft sound echoed from behind Tsugikoku Yoriichi's blind spot. A burly man in prison garb leaped from the ground and punched him from behind.
The sturdy man found a very good angle of attack, which was an area that Ji Guoyuan could not reach with his sight.
"Hey! Behind!"
Magellan sensed the prisoner's attack and quickly warned him. His back was pressed against Tsugikuni Yoriichi's seastone scabbard, and the intense weakness in his body prevented him from making any unnecessary movements.
Although in Magellan's eyes, Tsugakuni Yoriichi was also a criminal who broke into Impel Down, but under the current situation, Magellan did not want Tsugakuni Yoriichi to be killed.
If Tsugakuni Yoshiichi died, he would definitely have no way to survive as he was restrained by the seastone. Magellan knew these prisoners in Impel Down very well and knew exactly what kind of people they were.
Magellan's reminder seemed to have no effect. Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who had entered the hunger hell, was a little dazed and seemed to have not noticed the attack at all.
"Bang!"
"ah!!"
The strong man's fist hit Tsugaru Yoshiichi's back directly, but at the moment it hit Tsugaru Yoshiichi's body, severe pain came from the fist. The man screamed in pain, quickly retracted his fist, and jumped back to create a distance of several meters between him and Tsugaru Yoshiichi.
"Um?!"
It was not until this time that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi let out a soft murmur and looked at the prisoner who attacked him with some belated realization.
"Let's go together and get rid of this guy!"
"Magellan seems to be seriously injured. Let's take care of them both!"
At this moment, one of the prisoners shouted loudly. As soon as the words fell, the figures of dozens of prisoners turned into a shadow and rushed towards Jiguo Yuanyi from all directions.
One of them even jumped into the sand and disappeared from Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's sight.
If Yoriichi Tsugakuni was not mistaken, the prisoner who burrowed into the sand must be a person with special abilities.
"Be careful down there! That's Olmedo, the user of the Yu-Yu Fruit and the 53 million bounty on his head!"
Magellan exclaimed hurriedly, but just as he spoke, his body suddenly began to fly into the air.
Magellan's massive body was unexpectedly flung into the air by Ji Guoyuanyi. The second after Magellan left the ground, a sharp long knife suddenly shot out from the sand, striking the ground where Magellan had just been standing.
The next moment after the attack from Olmedo in the "Bloody Land" came, the prisoners also came to the side of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni one after another, and sharp weapons chopped down at Yoshikazu Tsugakuni.
Just as Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was about to be hacked to pieces by the prisoners, a flash of dark knife light suddenly filled everyone's vision.
“Buzz!!!”
On the sand, a ring of pitch-black slashes, centered on Yoriichi Tsugakuni, quickly spread out in all directions, like a drop of water falling on a calm lake, creating ripples.
The prisoners who were attacking Tsugakuni Yoriichi were suddenly stopped in mid-air with a slashing blow. With a buzzing sound, blood immediately fell from the air. The bodies that were cut in half flew backwards in an instant, like flowers scattered by fairies, and landed on the sand around Tsugakuni Yoriichi.
“Snap! Snap!”
The corpse hit the sand with a series of light sounds. At the same time, Magellan's body also fell quickly from the air. Ji Guoyuan flipped the knife with his right hand and threw it directly towards the sand not far away. The blade of the long knife sank into the sand, and the gravel on the ground was immediately dyed crimson.
"Bang~"
Magellan fell from the sky and landed on the soft sand. After a while, Magellan "pulled" his head out of the sand, looked around blankly, the look of astonishment on his face disappeared in an instant, and then he turned his head to look at Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
“In an instant.”
The battle had just ended when Yixiao, Mihawk, and the others leaped down from the gap in the mountain. The battle between Tsugikoku Yoriichi and the prisoners of the Hungry Hell ended just as quickly as it had begun.
After landing, Mihawk also noticed the bodies of prisoners around him. Without saying much, he just cast his gaze towards Magellan who was sitting on the ground and asked:
"How do I get to the next floor?"
"If the road is really long, we can just take a shortcut."
When Mihawk asked Magellan this, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had already walked to the side, bent down and pulled his sword out of the ground. The blade left the sand and a stream of blood spurted out from the ground.
Ji Guoyuan swung the long sword in his hand lightly to wipe off the blood, then gently leaned it on his shoulder and walked towards Magellan.
"Not far, right there."
Magellan pointed towards the sand city not far away and answered.
In the center of this sand city, there is a towering cylindrical building. There are no entrances around the building for people to pass through. There are only many "air windows" as big as city gates on the outer wall of the building.
Looking up, the space around the air vent showed a "space distortion" phenomenon due to the high temperature when it fell into the sight of Yuan Yi and others.
That's the vent leading to the fourth level of scorching hell beneath the city.
The reason why the Hungry Hell has such a hot environment is also due to the influence of the Burning Hell.
Directly below the vent is the boiling "sea of blood".
Under Magellan's guidance, Ji Guoyuan and others quickly entered the sand city and flew onto the stone platform of the vent of the scorching hell.
As soon as Cyrus's military boots touched the ground, a burnt smell rushed into everyone's nostrils.
“.”
"Scarlett and Rebecca were imprisoned in a place like this?!"
Cyrus raised his military boots and protected his boots with the fifth-level domineering aura, then took two steps forward and looked at the sea of blood below.
What meets the eye is a boiling and tumbling red lake.
Directly above the sea of blood, there are many buildings and bridges.
Cyrus was just standing at the outlet of the hunger hell, and the rolling heat waves coming from the sea of blood made him sweat profusely. He had no way of imagining what kind of torture the prisoners would suffer if they were locked up in the prison above the sea of blood.
When Cyrus thought about his wife and daughter being held in such a place, he was filled with rage. He rushed to Magellan, grabbed Magellan's clothes, and said angrily:
“Where are the people?”
"Where are they being held?"
"If anything happens to them..."
"I will absolutely, absolutely not let you go!!"
Cyrus roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Facing the furious Cyrus, Magellan glanced at him indifferently and said, "I've said before that the mother and daughter did not suffer the punishment of Impel Down."
"They were kept in a room next to my office."
"Scorching Hell, not all places will be affected by such high temperatures."
“The offices of the prison staff are all insulated.”
"Ordinary people wouldn't be able to stay in a place like this for more than a few hours before being completely 'steamed'. My subordinates also need to wear heat-insulating suits when they are on duty in the scorching hell."
"Those delicate women and children would never be locked up on this floor."
"In Impel Down, even if they're on death row, as long as they behave themselves, we won't let them die before their official execution."
As Magellan spoke, he turned his head and looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuin, as if explaining something to Yoriichi Tsugakuin.
"snort!"
Hearing this, Cyrus finally calmed down a little, snorted lightly, and let go of Magellan's clothes.
At this point, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had no intention of continuing to control Magellan, but Magellan was also very sensible and did not think of moving the seastone scabbard that was close to his back.
"That place is where my office is."
Magellan stretched out his hand and pointed at the buildings at the edge of the blood sea. There, there was a semicircular stone platform and a giant arch on the rock wall. It seemed that there was a passage to leave the blood pool.
Seeing Magellan's direction, Cyrus moved his body and was about to jump towards the prison town above the blood pool, but Ji Guoyuan was quick to grab Cyrus's shoulder and said:
"Cyrus, you stay here and watch over Director Magellan."
"We can just go over there."
"We'll come find you after we pick up Scarlett and Rebecca."
"He is a user with special abilities, and there is seastone on his back. With your abilities, you can easily subdue him."
"If Director Magellan makes any unusual move, he will be killed on the spot."
When Cyrus heard Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's order, his face tightened. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he saw Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's serious expression.
He rarely saw such an expression on Tsugikuni Yoriichi's face. Although he was very worried about the safety of Scarlett and Rebecca, at this moment, reason finally overwhelmed the anxiety and impulse in his heart.
"yes!"
Cyrus nodded and responded in a muffled voice.
For Cyrus, no one in this world is more reliable than Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
"Scarlett and Rebecca, I'm at your service."
Cyrus bent his knees and knelt down directly in front of Jiguo Yuanyi, his forehead pressed tightly to the ground. The scorching ground burned Cyrus' skin, but Cyrus seemed unaware and bent down deeply.
For some reason, when Tsugakuni Yoriichi noticed that Cyrus was about to kneel down, he did not stop him. It was not until Cyrus fell to the ground that Tsugakuni Yoriichi suddenly realized something and stretched out his hand to support Cyrus.
However, at this moment, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's hand stopped in the air, and then he gently patted Cyrus's shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry."
As he spoke, Ji Guoyuan leaped forward and continued to fly towards the edge of the sea of blood below.
Mihawk glanced at Cyrus who had raised his head, then turned his head and looked deeply at the direction where Ji Guoyuan had passed by, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Mihawk didn't think much of it, and quickly rushed towards the blood sea. Yixiao and Xiong followed closely behind. Under the watchful eyes of Cyrus and Magellan, the group soon arrived at the stone platform at the edge of the blood sea.
“Roar~~~~”
Standing on the stone platform, Mihawk was about to chop open the door.
A strange cry was heard from inside the door.
"boom!!!!"
The next second, two wooden arches as big as city gates suddenly shattered, and an extremely huge fist suddenly smashed the door connecting to the corridor of the warden's office, and attacked directly towards Ji Guoyuan and others.
Wood chips flew everywhere, and the huge wooden door lifted by the fist flew directly towards Ji Guoyuan and others.
Mihawk was the first to be hit. He had no time to dodge. He could only hold the sword in front of him with both hands and actively meet the impact. Half of the wooden door hit him and directly blasted Mihawk out. Mihawk flew a long distance and crashed through several walls before stopping.
The bear moved very quickly and disappeared from the stone platform in an instant. Then its figure appeared on the side of the stone platform, on a connecting bridge above the sea of blood.
Yixiao was knocked away by half of the huge wooden door in the first moment. After flipping over in the air, the half wooden door floated up and quickly came to his feet, allowing Yixiao to stand steadily on the floating wooden door.
Only Ji Guoyuan was left on the stone platform.
Facing the huge fist that was coming at him quickly, Ji Guoyuan's expression turned fierce. He did not dodge or evade. Instead, he swung his sword with his backhand and slashed directly at the fist that was "covering the sky and the sun" in front of him.
"laugh--"
The blade light instantly penetrated into the fist, and the fist that was hitting Tsugikuni Yoshiichi suddenly stopped, and blood gushed out directly from the huge fist like a rushing river.
"ah--"
“It hurts so much!!!”
A sharp wail suddenly emanated from the door, echoing over the sea of blood. The massive fist instantly retracted from the doorway, disappearing from the sight of Ji Guoyuan and the others.
“It hurts—”
There were still wailing sounds coming from inside the door, and Ji Guoyuan and others all looked towards the dim portal.
“That. That is.”
At the "air vent" above the sea of blood, Magellan and Cyrus also witnessed the sudden change. Although the giant fist was fleeting, Magellan saw it clearly.
In Magellan's memory, there was only one person in the entire Impel Downs who could swing such a fist.
"It's the giants imprisoned in the sixth level of Infinite Hell!"
"The user of the Expansion Fruit, San Juan Wolf, known as the 'Giant Battleship'!"
Magellan growled, his pupils trembled suddenly, and a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.
“Hehehe~”
“That’s amazing!”
"As expected of the world's number one criminal."
A crisp voice was heard in the dim corridor.
"Da! Da!"
Stussy's high heels stepped on the blood-stained ground as she slowly walked out of the corridor and appeared in the sight of Ji Guoyuan and others.
By her side, she was holding a disheveled pink-haired woman, and in the woman's arms, she was holding a little girl whose face was flushed and who had fainted from the heat.
It was Scarlett and Rebecca, mother and daughter.
Behind Stussy and the others, there were a dozen criminals in prison uniforms. After they walked out of the corridor, pairs of eyes fell on Yuichiro Tsugikoshi who was holding a long knife on the stone platform, some with contempt, some with scrutiny.
But what is the same is that the criminals behind Stussy all looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi with murderous intent.
