(Vol 2) CHAPTER - 6 { The Devil is Back! }

Year- 1501

Impel Down___

Sirens could be heard inside the building. It was not the first time a prisoner managed to come out of their cell.

Multiple warships were docked at Impel Down, one of which was an Admiral's.

"Golden Lion Shiki has escaped!".

"What happened to his sea stone shackles? Did they came loose?, " Asked the Admiral as he looked at the Magellan.

Magellan is a large man, about three times the height of a normal human.

He has a face that resembles a mandrill, with very sharp teeth and a thick beard. His fingers closely resemble those of the Blue Gorillas.

He wears bat wings and horn-like ornaments on his head, the latter of which he can pull out and use as weapons.

Underneath those horns, he has short black twintail-styled hair. Overall, Magellan resembles a devil.

Magellan wears a black-colored suit with a red shirt underneath. His suit features more buttons than those of his subordinates.

Draped over his right shoulder is a piece of rope. He wears what appears to be the standard cap of Impel Down workers.

"No, they are still locked!, " Informed Magellan, he stood straight while giving a salute to the Admiral.

"He severed off his own legs!, " Magellan was already sweating heavily while saying.

* * *

"We cannot let someone like him escape!, " Said a high ranking officer from the Navy.

Multiple soldiers ran inside Impel Down to search for Shiki but none could find him.

*Drip*

A pool of blood was formed on the floor next to Hannyabal who was scared stiff.

"Jiha ha ha ha haha, " A laughter was heard from above, sitting on a wooden board tied by chains was Shiki.

"You don't know of my two swords?, " Asked Shiki as he stared at the frightened Hannyabal.

"They are both named blades: Outou and Kogarashi, " Said Shiki as he looked around the floor to check on the soldiers.

"I-I want a promotion!, " Replied Hannyabal mustering his courage to Shiki.

"It's too bad for you, but I am leaving now, " Said Shiki as he rested his cheek on his palm.

Some white smoke was coming as Shiki smoked his cigar comfortably.

"I don't need my legs. You can keep 'em, " Said Shiki as he grinned at Hannyabal.

"Assistant Warden Magellan! I found Shiki! Please help me!, " Shouted Hannyabal as he looked left and right for some support.

But Hannyabal was attacked by Shiki and left unconscious on the ground.

* * *

"So this is it?, " Muttered Shiki as he saw a secret door hidden at the end of Level-6 floor.

"This leads to the Level-7 floor where the greatest weapon that could be compared to the three Ancient weapons is kept!, " Said Shiki as he pulled the door open with pure strength.

Taking a fire stick from the wall, Shiki entered.

The passageway was dark, floating down the stairs Shiki used his Observation Haki beforehand.

'There's no one, ' Thought Shiki as he continued on his way only to find a very big cell.

"Where's the weapon?, " Said Shiki as he was angry but then saw something which made him a little surprised.

Inside the cell, a man with long black hair and long beard sat with his legs crossed.

Tied to him were sea stone chains in hundreds, each connected to the walls from all sides.

'Who could it be?, ' Thought Shiki, as he came forward and looked inside more carefully.

Shiki inspected the cell bars to find out that they were made of sea stones too.

"What was he?, " Said Shiki, but then he was disappointed to find that the man was not breathing.

He came here because he heard from the other prisoners that a secret weapon was kept here.

But all he saw was a dead man and nothing.

"Damn it! I wasted some precious time, " Cursed Shiki, just as he was about to go back.

*Srink*

The sound of chains was heard from behind him. Shiki didn't waste a second to understand what's going on.

Danger!

Turning, Shiki wanted to dodge but failed and got caught by a large palm.

"Y-You are alive!, " Said Shiki as he stared at the man with his eyes wide open.

*Crush*

With all his strength, Akuma crushed Shiki and killed him on the spot.

One of the greatest pirates with Gol D. Roger and Edward Newgate.

Was killed…

"Fuu, " Releasing some breath, Akuma brought Shiki near his mouth and chewed him down.

Due to hunger, Akuma had to eat something before going out of this cell.

"It's time, " Said Akuma, his body turned to white gas and started going out through the stairs.

* * *

When he reached the end of the passageway, Akuma returned back to his human form.

"This way, " Going near the wall, Akum touched it and his fingers sank in it.

With his paramecia devil fruit, his body turned to a spirit form that could pass through any surface.

Maybe because he forgot, or because of his old age. Akuma didn't know that he went directly into the sea.

Even though he was not affected by sea or sea stones. He had to breathe to stay alive.

Holding his breath, Akuma looked around to see only water.

Slowly, his body returned back to its normal body and started expanding in size.

His hands and legs merged in the body and his head turned to dragon-like with wide gills.

Dark green scales, black eyes with no pupils and sharp teeth.

'Food!, ' That was the only thought Akuma had in his mind because of being imprisoned for 100 years.

Only he knew how he survived, his body went in a complete change.

He became it, a human had to turn into an animal to survive at the face of death.

He went through a process of slowing his metabolism in first few years in the cell.

His muscles had to be sacrificed for his life, half his blood is gone because the more blood cells, the more energy required.

He is alive after all of this!

The Devil is Back!

Every living being in his path was eaten, be it a small fish or even the biggest sea king.

Not one was spared by Akuma.
