Third Person POV
Impeldown, First Half of Grandline.
…
…
The door from the fifth to the fourth level was filled with prison soldiers, who kept pointing their weapons at the frozen area after Luffy destroyed the door with his punch, while Magellan waited along with his men and all the prison officers.
In the middle of the snow, a shadow emerged with more appearing from all sides of the first shadow, revealing Luffy and the crowd that accompanied him at that moment.
“Prepare for battle!” Magellan said, while everyone nodded tensely with their weapons pointed and trembling at the enemies coming from the fifth level.
“It seems that Magellan is back in battle,” Luffy commented, seeing the director with medical bandages around his injured body.
“Sorry about this, but we’re breaking out of prison!” Lucy shouted next to Luffy.
Suddenly, a pink leap stepped in front of the prison guards, and Sadi appeared, jumping high before anyone could react. She prepared her whip. “Finally, I’ll punish you!!” She immediately launched the attack on Luffy.
“This woman again, she’s persistent!” Nami complained, and before Sadi could complete the attack, Garuda’s claw grabbed her again, and everyone saw the woman fly back to the fourth level.
“Miss Sadi!” All the soldiers exclaimed, and a wave hit them, causing them to fall to the ground, leaving only Magellan standing.
“You should know that crowds don’t work against me…” Luffy said while Magellan frowned, not noticing a fist coming towards his already broken face. Luffy hit him with great force again, sending him flying backward before falling unconscious shortly after.
“Luffy! I hope you didn’t kill him!” Lucy exclaimed, immediately entering the fifth level.
The explosion of Magellan’s body colliding with a wall several dozen meters away before he fell unconscious again.
“Damn, my hand is poisoned again…” Luffy commented with the venomous slime staining his fist as he returned to his crew, “Reiju, help me here,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ivankov and Jimbei were watching this with wide eyes and open mouths, with Crocodile frowning.
“He defeated the director with just one punch?” Ivankov’s companions couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
“He was already injured from our last battle and hadn’t fully recovered, so it was easy to do this,” Luffy replied calmly to their shock.
The crew continued walking past the lake of fire while various prisoners watched them and shouted for help.
“Lami, can you get to that point and open the cells?” Luffy asked Lami to go to the control room on the floor.
“Yes.” She nodded and created her room before disappearing. Moments later, all the cell doors were opened.
“We’re free!”
“Haha. Freedom!”
“I’ll get revenge on the guards!”
“Thank you, guys!”
The prisoners started shouting immediately, but Luffy silenced them the next moment by releasing his haki throughout the floor. “Listen, I don’t care if you escape from here, but if anyone kills any guard knocked out by me, I’ll feel responsible and turn you into ashes. Understand?” Luffy spoke calmly through his haki, making everyone feel the threat. He wouldn’t allow anyone to die at someone else’s hands while knocked out by his haki.
This made the prisoners abandon the idea of going to the entrance of the fifth floor and start running to the third floor.
“Let’s go!” Luffy said and began heading to the next floor with Lami reappearing.
Teach was entering the fourth floor when he saw a crowd of prisoners running towards the door from where he descended.
“What’s going on here, Ziahahahaha!” He laughed.
The prisoners didn’t care about him as they continued running to the third floor. Teach didn’t mind either as he continued walking towards the sixth level, but soon among all the prisoners, a group appeared, being Luffy, a man he knew very well after Jaya when he was threatened.
Teach stopped in front of Luffy, while Luffy’s group stood in front of Teach, staring at each other.
“Lord Crocodile!” Crocodile looked to the side when a man he knew well and was imprisoned on this floor approached him, being Mr. 1.
“You finally came, Mr. 1,” Crocodile said.
“Crocodile-Boy… who is this?” Ivankov approached Crocodile, making him frown with this question. Since they met on level 5.5, Ivankov had been a stone in his past, and it wasn’t just him; the Straw Hat himself knew about his past.
“What’s the plan?” Mr. 1 asked.
“We’ll follow them to Marineford, then we’ll take our own path.” That was what Crocodile hoped.
Returning to Luffy, he looked at Teach and his group with interest, finding them in the same place as the original Luffy.
“Who is this?” Lucy asked curiously.
“This is the man who captured Ace,” Luffy said.
“What?!” Lucy was shocked and started to get angry.
“Ziahahahaha, Straw Hat!” Teach said, despite having a dark frown and not wanting to provoke Luffy, after all, he was much stronger than his current self. “I see you went to the sixth floor! But you only took a few people…” He said as he noticed only a few people from that level in the group.
“If your plan is to recruit some people from that floor, you can still do that, but I’ve already taken the liberty of facilitating Bullet and Redfield’s escape. So you better be careful who you provoke there,” Luffy commented with a smile.
“Bu-Bullet!?” Teach didn’t seem to know Redfield, but Bullet was someone he knew very well from his journey at sea.
“Yes, now I have to go…” Luffy said, but the next moment, his gaze returned to Teach with a new gleam. Teach saw this and prepared to fight, with his group doing the same.
“You know… I said I wouldn’t harm you in Jaya as long as you didn’t permanently harm my brother, but you still captured him. I may not want to kill you now, but I can’t let that slide, can I?” Luffy said with an amused tone.
“What are you…” Teach was already prepared to fight when he saw purple flames flying towards him.
Teach quickly put his hand in front, causing the dark mist to start emerging from it and suck the flames as they got close, into the darkness like a black hole.
“Ziahahahaha!” Teach laughed seeing the flame being consumed by his powers. “You should know that doesn’t work against my darkness logia!” He said, imagining that Luffy had a very good understanding of his powers since Luffy approached him in Jaya to put a devil fruit in Ace’s sword.
But as soon as the flames were completely engulfed in front of Teach, he saw in front of him where the group was, but realizing that Luffy was no longer among them.
Before he could question it, he felt a presence behind him. “Very useful ability, Teach,” Luffy said behind him, his body engulfed in flames and much larger than usual, as he was in his phase 2 at that moment. “But you know that’s not enough,” he continued, and before Teach could react, Luffy punched him, sending the Shichibukai flying away as the ground exploded with his body.
Luffy also disappeared from the spot as bullets began to be fired at him by Van Augur. Luffy dodged immediately, jumping in the air, seeing someone appear right beside him—it was Burgess, advancing wanting to punch Luffy. But before Burgess could react, Hugo appeared, leaning in and launching a punch against Burgess’s fist, while his own fist was wrapped in rocks.
The punches clashed immediately with an explosion. Burgess was surprised but didn’t stop the challenge, opening a smile and advancing excitedly as they clashed their fists. Hugo’s rock fist cracked, but the Straw Hat member still gained an advantage against Burgess, who retreated in surprise and was sent flying backward.
Van Augur aimed again at Luffy, who was still in the air, while staring at the spot where Teach had fallen. However, just as he was about to shoot, a laser beam advanced towards him, forcing Van Augur to dodge or shoot the laser, which generated an explosion when his bullet and the energy clashed. He looked at who shot, which was Usopp from the crowd, keeping a serious look while aiming his pistols at the target.
“You want to fight…?” Usopp spoke with a dangerous tone, in contrast to his usual personality.
Laffitte was watching from a distance alongside Doc Q, ready to attack and help his captain, but suddenly a blue space appeared and they simply disappeared from the spot, reappearing over the lava lake while they fell in surprise, with Lami just clicking her tongue after sending them to their deaths.
“AI AI AI AI AI AI!” Teach appeared screaming while feeling intense pain due to the weakness of his Devil Fruit. He finally got up at this moment and gritted his teeth, looking at Luffy still in the air. With a quick movement, Teach created a vacuum with his hands, pointing at Luffy while using his darkness absorption.
Everything seemed to be sucked towards Teach’s hand, or rather, almost everything. “Hm?!” Teach looked surprised that Luffy didn’t move an inch with that.
“What is happening? How is he still standing?!” Teach murmured a bit scared, seeing that his fruit wasn’t having any effect, but he didn’t realize that Luffy was still being sucked in, but moving so slowly that no one noticed.
‘His ability is really strong…’ Luffy smiled with this internal comment. ‘However, I slowed my speed to 0.001,’ he thought calmly. Luffy was only thinking since he couldn’t even move his mouth because he was slowed down multiple times, so he didn’t even bother trying.
“Damn… how did you do that?!” Teach didn’t understand until he finally gave up, seeing that Luffy wasn’t moving. However, as soon as he stopped sucking Luffy, he disappeared and reappeared beside him.
“You think I don’t know how to fight against you, idiot?” said Luffy, punching him even harder without Teach being able to do anything. Teach went flying to the other side of the prison, causing another explosion when his body collided with the wall.
Luffy just looked into the distance while Laffitte and Doc Q, riding his horse, appeared beside him as he flew. Lami was about to react with haki, but Luffy raised his hand to her.
“Leave them, we don’t have time for this,” Luffy requested. After all, he didn’t want to fight Teach now. It wasn’t a real fight, just a few punches were enough.
A fierce battle between shooters was happening with Usopp versus Van Augur at this moment while Usopp activated his wings and flew, shooting at his enemy trying to avoid the explosions that Usopp could create.
Usopp had the advantage of having a Devil Fruit like Bahamut. Meanwhile, the man dodged attacks that sometimes were so large that they threw him far away.
Usopp stopped attacking after seeing him fly away with one of his attacks. Van Augur didn’t return to attack but ran to where his captain had flown.
Meanwhile, Burgess broke a pillar while flying away with Hugo landing after another clash of punches.
“It looks like you’re just big…” Hugo mocked, seeing the man flying while breaking another part of the wall. He didn’t advance, seeing that Luffy didn’t want to fight anymore.
“Let’s stop, leave them,” Luffy requested, opening a smile. “After all, we have some new company.” He landed on the ground next and looked at the two vice-admirals who had arrived on the floor, while Lucy frowned. After all, she was a member of the Marines.
