Chapter 352: A Hell That Doesn't Live Up to Its Name! (Two-in-One)
The prisoners who rushed out of the elevator were briefly shocked by the corpses on the ground. Everyone's eyes were focused on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's face. Looking at the young man in front of them holding a long knife, the criminals who had been imprisoned in the city for who knows how long soon became restless.
The yearning for freedom has overcome the fear in my heart.
"Don't be afraid!"
"They only have a few of us, and we have so many of us. Even if the navy is strong, they can't stop us."
“Charge!!”
Among the rioting crowd, there was a prisoner holding a knife and shouting wildly. His roar successfully inspired some simple-minded people.
The prisoners pouring out of the elevator were all held in Level 1. Level 1 criminals generally committed minor offenses. The vast majority of those here were members of smaller pirate groups, many of whom weren't even on wanted lists.
When the navy is clearing out pirates, they will also "take back" all the pirates on the ship. Those weak and unknown pirates will be imprisoned on the top floor of the Impel Down City.
Buggy, the clown and one of the future Four Emperors, was once imprisoned on the first floor of Impel Down. It's unclear whether being imprisoned on the first floor by Impel Down was considered a good or bad thing for Buggy.
The lowest level of pirates are easily instigated and bewitched.
Soon, the crowd began to stir, and some pirates waved long swords in their hands and rushed towards Jiguo Yuanyi with roars.
In the eyes of the prisoners, Tsugikuni Yoshiichiro is a better breakthrough point.
The reason? Because Ji Guoyuan is young, a young man who looks to be in his teens or twenties, isn’t it easy to solve the problem?
Among the crowd of prisoners, a thin middle-aged man showed a smile of "the plan succeeded" on his face when he saw the prisoners rushing towards Ji Guoyuan and others.
"Boss, aren't we going together?"
Behind the middle-aged man, a burly man couldn't help but ask, seeing his boss hesitate. He finally had the chance to escape from Push City, and if he stayed in such a place for even a second longer, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
"Fool!"
"These navies look difficult to deal with."
"That red-haired brat is probably the most difficult to deal with."
"Let those idiots go up and consume their energy first, we will wait and see for now."
"Don't worry, we've already come to this point, we definitely won't turn back!"
As the skinny middle-aged man spoke, the corridor suddenly became quiet. He turned his head to look in the direction of Ji Guoyuan and others. The middle-aged man was stunned, his pupils shrank, and his muscles involuntarily became stiff.
"How. How?"
In just a blink of an eye, more than a dozen prisoners' bodies fell in front of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, blood was all over the ground, and the strong smell of blood filled the slightly closed corridor.
The prisoners who were originally rushing towards Jiguo Yuanyi also stopped at this moment, and formed a semicircle in the open space in front of Jiguo Yuanyi, all looking at Jiguo Yuanyi with fear on their faces.
Behind Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, Magellan finally recovered and sat on the ground, watching Tsugakuni Yoshiichi kill more than a dozen prisoners who attacked him with his own hands. For some reason, there was a look of relief on his face.
"I don't want to waste my time on you guys though."
"But I don't want to see you all return to the sea because of me."
"Abel, I leave this place to you. Any prisoner who tries to leave will be killed on the spot."
"Everyone else, follow me."
As he spoke, Ji Guoyuan raised the long sword in his hand lightly, lowered his head and swept it towards the ground, and then blasted out several slashes at high speed. The black sword light instantly penetrated the ground, and a three-meter square stone fell off the ground and fell to the lower level.
As Jiguo Yuanyi said this, he quickly pulled out his seastone scabbard with his gloved left hand and inserted it directly into Magellan's collar.
The seastone was pressed against Magellan's back, and the strong feeling of weakness made Magellan, who had just recovered a little, feel dizzy.
"Mr. Director, please come with me."
Ji Guoyuan grabbed Magellan's shoulders one by one, and then dragged Magellan directly into the big hole in the ground.
Cyrus, Mihawk, Yixiao and others did not hesitate and quickly followed Jiguo Yuanyi into the cave. Soon, in the astonished eyes of the prisoners, the new navy group left, leaving only Abel alone.
Abel was tall and wore a black mask on his face. After Guo Yuanyi and others left, Abel slowly drew out a long knife from his waist. His powerful domineering aura suddenly burst out, and a terrifying sense of oppression was imposed on every prisoner.
Although Abel didn't say a word, the prisoners were frightened by Abel's aura and couldn't help but retreat slowly.
“Click—”
At this moment, the elevator made a slight sound, and as the gate opened, another hundred or so prisoners poured into the passage. Compared with the first group of prisoners who poured into the passage, this group of prisoners had more or less wounds and bloodstains on their bodies, as if they had experienced a battle.
After a new batch of prisoners arrived at the top floor via the elevator, they saw Abel blocking the middle of the corridor. Without saying a word, they rushed directly towards Abel. With someone taking the lead, the crowd immediately began to surge.
Some clever prisoners followed the crowd and had no intention of attacking Abel. Instead, they stuck to the wall and tried to escape from the city by directly passing Abel.
"Prison breakers, die!"
Abel exerted force on the long sword in his hand, and suddenly a pair of black wings grew out of his back. At the same time, a ball of flame burned on Abel's back.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The moment the words fell, Abel's figure flashed, and a series of loud noises rang out in the corridor. Thick smoke and dust quickly submerged the crowd.
The underground level is called the Red Lotus Hell.
When Jiguo Yuanyi smashed the ground, he restrained his strength, and the slash only penetrated the ground above the sea, and the ground of the Red Lotus Hell was not penetrated.
Yoichi Tsugikuni, who fell from the sky, happened to be right above the "Sword Forest".
The Sword Tree is a red plant with a texture like steel and leaves like sharp swords. The Sword Forest is full of these trees. Disobedient prisoners are thrown into the Sword Forest by the jailers as punishment.
The sharp leaves would cut the prisoners' skin, and their blood would in turn water the red sword tree.
This is how the name Red Lotus Hell came about.
The Red Lotus Hell, which should have been filled with begging and wailing, was eerily quiet at this moment.
Ji Guoyuan picked up Magellan's huge body in his hands and fell from the air. The armed color domineering gathered at the soles of his feet. The moment he landed, he directly crushed the sword leaves under his feet.
Lowering his head slightly, Jiguoyuan locked onto Scarlett and Rebecca with his Observation Haki, then raised his sword and was about to strike when he heard Magellan's urgent cry:
"etc!"
"Don't cut the ground, there's an entrance to the next level here!"
"Right in the middle of the Sword Forest."
Magellan knew that he couldn't stop Ji Guoyuan from looking for people, and he also didn't want to push the city to be further damaged, so he shouted hurriedly.
Above, Yixiao and others were falling down. Sensing the danger on the ground, Yixiao drew out his long sword and directly bombarded the ground beneath his feet with his power. A piece of sword tree leaf suddenly turned into powder under Yixiao's power and turned into an open space.
"The entrance?"
"Which direction?"
Magellan pointed his finger at him, and without hesitation, Tsugakuin Yoriichi grabbed Magellan and quickly soared into the sky. Yixiao, noticing Tsugakuin Yoriichi's movements, also used his ability to quickly clear a piece of land, carrying Cyrus, Xiong, and the others to quickly catch up with Tsugakuin Yoriichi.
"This is the Crimson Hell in the underground level of Impel Down City."
"This is just one floor. Where were Scarlett and Rebecca taken?"
Cyrus stood on the rapidly moving stone, lowered his head and looked at the scene below, muttering to himself.
As soon as Cyrus smelled the bloody smell in the Red Lotus Hell, his heart ached, his fists clenched, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
He had no way of imagining what kind of torture his wife and daughter would suffer.
At this moment, Yixiao and the others had already caught up with Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. Magellan also heard what Cyrus said and couldn't help but explain:
"If the people you're looking for are the mother and daughter brought by CP0."
"Then there's no need to worry."
"They were sent here temporarily by CP0 and locked up in a room next to my office."
"Those two criminals are important to the World Government."
"If you die, you will be of no value to the World Government."
"So they were treated differently from other criminals when they entered Impel Down."
Magellan's words didn't make Cyrus feel any better. He glared at Magellan indignantly, then gritted his teeth and said coldly, "World Government."
"The people who took Scarlett and Rebecca away from Dressrosa were from the World Government!"
Ji Guoyuan glanced at Magellan and suddenly asked:
"Which underground floor is your office located on?"
Hearing Jiguo Yuanyi's question, Magellan replied, "The fourth floor."
"The elevator actually goes directly to my office."
Hearing this, Jiguo Yuanyi, who had been flying with Magellan for a while, frowned slightly.
"The fourth floor?"
"Who is the person who escorted Scarlett and her daughter here?"
"CP9 directly under the World Government?"
As Ji Guoyuan spoke, he estimated the current location of Scarlett and Rebecca, and then frowned slightly.
In his perception, Scarlett and Rebecca, mother and daughter, were indeed on the fourth underground floor. However, while sensing the mother and daughter, Tsugumi Yoshiichi also sensed other auras.
There are a lot of people, and more importantly, the owners of those auras are very powerful.
"That kind of aura strength is not something that an ordinary CP can possess!"
"CP9 won't work, and I'm afraid CP0 won't work either."
Jiguo Yuanyi thought to himself that he had killed many CP0s, and some of the stronger ones, with the help of devil fruits, could be comparable to ordinary navy vice admirals, and some were even stronger than ordinary navy vice admirals.
However, the vast majority of CP0s are only slightly more capable than ordinary rear admirals.
To use the most popular words nowadays, that means he is below the emperor and vice-chairman, and above the sixth son.
But at this time, Jiguo Yuanyi roughly sensed the auras of those with Scarlett and her daughter, and they were basically above Abel.
There are even a few auras whose owners can be compared to Mihawk.
"It's a CP0 named Stussy."
Magellan hadn't hidden it from Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and the others; at that moment, he had no feelings towards Stussy. Although Magellan's Observation Haki wasn't strong, he had noticed something unusual about Impel Down.
After flying such a long distance in the Red Lotus Hell, the feeling he felt was indescribably weird.
It’s quiet, it’s too quiet here.
Magellan guessed that the cause of the riot in Impel Down was related to CP0.
His desk had been opened, and although he didn't know what Stussy had done, Magellan had already identified the "murderer".
"Stussy? CP0..."
As Xi Jiguo Yuanyi murmured, a huge pit appeared in front of him.
"It's right here."
Magellan stretched out his hand and pointed, and Jigoku Yoshiichi also increased his speed and flew into the pit.
The pit in the Red Lotus Hell is connected to the Beast Hell on the second underground level.
The situation was somewhat different from the first floor. When Tsugikuni Yoshiichirō arrived at this floor, he immediately smelled a strong smell of blood.
He was in an aisle filled with the corpses of jailers and some "cute" animal corpses.
The sight of corpses all over the ground was shocking. When Magellan, who was held by Jiguo Yuanyi, saw this scene, his chest heaved violently and he gasped for breath. The wound on his chest that had stopped bleeding was affected and blood flowed out.
“Who did this!!”
“Who did this?!”
Magellan let out a low growl, his eyes bloodshot.
The light in the distance attracted the attention of Yuichiro Tsugikuni. He walked to the exit and saw a large town built up by prisons.
The prisons in the town were all empty. The prisoners who were supposed to be locked in cages had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Were all the garrisons killed?"
Ji Guoyuan turned around and glanced at the aisle behind him and said in a deep voice.
"What on earth is this?" Yixiao, Cyrus and others appeared at the exit of the corridor. Looking at the town below, Cyrus opened his mouth with a puzzled look on his face.
From the moment they entered the city of Impel Down, Cyrus felt something was wrong along the way.
After Tsugaku Kuniyoshi defeated Magellan, the prison director, Cyrus thought that they would have to face a steady stream of jailers and the support of the headquarters navy.
But unexpectedly, countless prisoners poured out of the elevator.
When they arrived at the Red Lotus Hell and the Beast Hell one after another, Cyrus thought they would encounter many jailers and witness the inhumane "hell" scenes.
But what he didn't expect was that the Red Lotus Hell on the underground floor and the Beast Hell in front of him were both empty.
And judging from the scene in the corridor just now, someone had already been here before they came to this floor, and even killed the jailer and jailer beast on this floor.
Even if criminals in prison riot, there shouldn't be such a one-sided scene.
At the very least, there should be bodies of prisoners killed by the jailers.
The corpses in the corridor looked more like jailers and jailer beasts who were attracted to a place by someone and then killed by overwhelming strength. Otherwise, such a scene would not appear.
"Let's go to the next floor."
This time, Jiguo Yuanyi did not ask Magellan to show him the way. He threw Magellan aside and directly drew his sword and slashed at the ground on the street.
The terrifying slash quickly sank into the ground of the Beast Hell, and then, in front of everyone's eyes, a big hole collapsed on the ground, and hot air poured into this level of the Beast Hell through the hole in the ground.
Ji Guoyuan grabbed Magellan one by one and quickly flew towards the pit.
The third underground level is the hunger hell.
The heat from the fourth underground level of the Burning Hell affected this level, making it unbearably hot. Furthermore, the Impel Down City had covered this level with heat-conducting yellow sand and deprived the prisoners of water and food, leaving the prisoners on the third underground level in a state of near-death.
Those imprisoned in the Hunger Hell are vicious criminals with a bounty of more than 50 million.
This place should have been a desolate desert scene, but around Ji Guoyuan, who brought Magellan into the sand city, there were criminals in prison uniforms standing all around him.
These criminals surrounded Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and looked at Tsugakuni Yoshiichi with surprise as he suddenly entered this floor. The open space behind them was filled with food and drinks that they didn't know where they came from.
Further away, there were some bodies of jailers lying there quietly, slowly being buried by the wind and sand.
“Who are you?!”
