The World’s Biggest Prison!

Impel Down!

The world's most notorious prison!

It houses dangerous criminals from all corners of the globe.

Just yesterday, a pirate known as Luffy had turned Impel Down into chaos and nearly succeeded in rescuing Ace.

Fortunately, Warden Magellan had intervened forcefully to quell the disturbance.

"Luffy in the straw hat sure has guts, infiltrating Impel Down."

"Yeah, but it's a shame that Impel Down's guardian is Warden Magellan. No matter who tries, they won't be able to free any prisoner from this place."

"These pirates are underestimating the power here."

The Marines guarding the entrance of Impel Down engaged in conversation.

When the topic shifted to the three letters - Magellan, admiration filled their faces.

The primary reason Impel Down was considered impregnable was due to the formidable defense of Warden Magellan.

With his Devil Fruit ability to control poison, he acted as an impenetrable fortress for Impel Down.

No matter who attempted to breach its defenses, they would face the impenetrable barrier that was Magellan.

....

As the guards conversed with the seamen, something unusual was happening in the sea directly in front of Impel Down.

Bubbles began to surface, and their numbers increased rapidly. The sound grew louder and louder until the water began to churn violently, as if something was about to emerge.

"What... what's happening?"

The Marine guards were alarmed, their attention shifting to the sea ahead.

Suddenly, a massive wave erupted, and from its crest, a colossal ship resembling a whale burst into the sky.

Wow~

The sky was filled with seawater droplets, falling like heavy rain.

The gigantic ship, after soaring into the sky, crashed back into the sea, causing a massive wave before coming to a steady stop.

The guard seamen were left dumbfounded.

They stared in disbelief at the colossal ship that had seemingly materialized out of nowhere.

Following the length of the immense vessel, their bodies trembled when they caught sight of a flag bearing a skull emblem with a crescent moon beard.

"This... this flag..."

A trembling seaman pointed at the massive ship with fear in his eyes. "This flag belongs to... Whitebeard!!!"

"What?!"

The other seamen on guard were equally shocked.

Upon closer inspection, they recognized the emblem from the infamous New World.

"It truly is Whitebeard's flag!"

"Is Whitebeard attacking Impel Down?"

"What is he planning? Could he be trying to rescue Ace from Impel Down?"

Panic spread among the seamen guarding the prison.

Even those who were usually fearless were now shaken to their core, collapsing to the ground and trembling uncontrollably upon seeing that flag.

The name Whitebeard held immense weight.

He was known as the strongest man in the world!

An assault on Impel Down would undoubtedly result in the prison's complete destruction.

"Quickly, inform Warden Magellan!"

A seaman finally snapped out of the shock and shouted urgently.

The surrounding Marines, their faces filled with fear, staggered toward a designated location inside the gate.

There, they found a bright red button and pressed it urgently.

....

Inside the surveillance room of Impel Down.

Clad in black attire, Magellan stood before the surveillance screens, meticulously monitoring every nook and cranny of the underground prison.

"Have the prisoners who escaped yesterday been recaptured?"

"Back to the warden, we have successfully regained custody of the escapees."

"And what about the security breach?"

"It's currently undergoing repairs and should be fully restored within approximately two days."

"Excellent."

Magellan nodded with a sense of satisfaction.

The previous day, a pirate had caused quite a disturbance by infiltrating Impel Down, but Magellan had swiftly dealt with the situation, resulting in minimal damage.

With everything seemingly in order, he contemplated taking a brief break before his next task.

However, just as he was about to leave, a piercing alarm disrupted the room's tranquility.

Magellan abruptly halted, his expression shifting as he fixated on one of the surveillance station's screens.

"We have an alarm at the prison gate!"

A staff member reported urgently.

"What's happening?"

Magellan's brow furrowed as he studied the surveillance footage of the prison gate. What he saw was a colossal ship emerging in the sea before Impel Down, resembling a massive whale. At the ship's bow towered a formidable figure.

Upon catching sight of this figure, Magellan's face drained of color, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

But soon, he snapped out of his shock, suppressing the fear that threatened to overtake him, and barked with stern authority, "Hannyabal, you must proceed immediately to the sixth floor and initiate the transfer of Fire Fist Ace to Marineford ahead of schedule!"

"Huh?"

Hannyabal, a portly man with bat wings sprouting from his back and wearing nothing but a loincloth, initially struggled to grasp the urgency of the situation.

However, as he followed Magellan's gaze to the surveillance footage, his body trembled, and sheer terror overcame him.

"Quickly!"

Magellan commanded.

"Yes!"

Hannyabal, now fully comprehending the gravity of the impending crisis, turned and sprinted towards the elevator.

He understood that if they didn't relocate Ace without delay, there might not be another chance.

"Woo~"

Magellan exhaled deeply, forcing himself to regain his composure. "Inform Saru Dess and Satie that we have an imminent threat and prepare for a full-scale confrontation!"

"At the same time... release that prisoner!"

"The warden?!"

Domino's eyes widened in disbelief.

She knew precisely which prisoner Magellan was referring to as "that individual."

"Now is not the time for indecision. If he remains incarcerated, Impel Down itself may be reduced to rubble today!"

Magellan's tone was deadly serious.

Without further words, he turned and marched out of the surveillance room.

As the warden, with an adversary approaching, he needed to set an example by facing the threat head-on.

"Yes!"

Domino took a deep breath and hurriedly left the room.

Orders were disseminated with remarkable swiftness, and Impel Down, having recently quelled one disturbance, was once again thrown into chaos.

The Marines stationed throughout the various prison levels readied themselves as if bracing for an imminent invasion by a formidable adversary.

The specter of war hung heavily over every inch of Impel Down, from the uppermost floor to the darkest depths of the sixth level.

The atmosphere within the prison became palpably tense.

Even the prisoners confined in their cells sensed the shift in the air, leaving many of them wondering what had transpired to prompt the Marines to assume such a defensive posture!
