One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 281 Bitter Battle Against Magellan!
Xia Nuo raised her head slightly, looking at the three poisonous dragons rushing towards her, her gaze remaining calm.

"The Poison-Poison Fruit, huh..."

Instead of dodging, he took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and met the attack head-on!
boom! ! !
A terrifying shockwave erupted instantly!
The three venomous dragons crumbled the moment they came into contact with the fist's force, their purple venom scattering and corroding the surrounding ground, creating numerous pits.

Some of the water splashed onto his skin, but like raindrops hitting rocks, it left no trace.

"This level of toxin..."

Xia Nuo grinned, looked down at the purple liquid flowing on his arm, and casually flicked his hand, sending the venom flying like ordinary water droplets.

"It can't even make my skin itchy!"

If you can't break through his protective aura, you'll just be kept out.

There is absolutely no threat!

……

how come!
Magellan's pupils constricted as he stared at the scene in disbelief.

His "Poison Dragon" technique is extremely potent. Countless notorious pirates have fallen victim to this deadly poison, howling in agony, and have lived in everlasting fear of him.

But this man in front of me...

Without even trying to dodge, he was completely immune to the toxin simply by relying on Armament Haki?!

"impossible!"

Magellan roared, his muscles bulging as all the venom in his body began to boil and surge. "No one in this world should be able to do this! Poison Giant - Hell Judgment!"

puff!

Unlike the previous purple venom, a large amount of thick, scarlet venom gushed out from his body, instantly transforming into a skeletal giant tens of meters tall.

This is an ultimate killing move that is even more terrifying than the Poison Dragon.

Its toxicity is so strong that it can devour everything. Just by being summoned and before it even moves, it can corrode the air and make it hiss!

"Susanoo, huh? This is finally getting interesting."

Xia Nuo looked at the crimson poison giant that had risen from the ground before him, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

The toxicity has increased by more than one level.

As expected of the warden of Impel Down, he's got some skills.

This level of toxicity, if entangled with for too long, could indeed erode one's domineering aura and seep into their skin if one is not careful.

But it's a pity...

It's gotten bigger and stronger, but its speed has obviously slowed down!

It's still impossible for them to threaten him!
As the crimson giant soldier pounced, his figure vanished like a ghost. The giant soldier's attack crashed down, but only shattered a rock on the ground.

"Look where you are, I'm right here."

A cold voice came from behind the giant poison soldier.

Magellan turned around in horror, only to see that Shano had somehow leaped into the air, raising his right leg high. In the next instant, his whip leg, wrapped in black and red lightning, slashed down like a battle axe!
Bang! ! !
With a deafening explosion, the giant poison soldier kicked its entire head, starting from the back of its neck, until it was smashed open, and crimson venom poured down like a torrential rain.

The right leg, wreathed in black and red lightning, remained as powerful as ever, piercing through and destroying the giant soldier's body before crashing down on Magellan's head!
"not good!"

Magellan's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly raised his arms, but he was powerless to stop it. With a cracking sound of bones breaking, he was slammed into the ground several meters deep!
"The giant soldier is gone. Now, Magellan, let's see how many punches your true form can withstand... The first punch!"

Without pausing after landing, Shano's left fist, crackling with black and red lightning, slammed into Magellan's abdomen!
Magellan was seeing stars and was somewhat delirious, but he still managed to condense a large amount of venom defense in the first instant.

However, it was pierced through the moment of contact, and the armor-like venom shattered as easily as paper.

"Pfft!" Magellan spat out a mouthful of blood, his body curled up like a shrimp as he flew backward.

"The second punch!"

With a flash, Shano appeared in Magellan's path as he flew backward, and his right fist slammed into Magellan's chin from below.

Magellan's head snapped back, his cervical spine cracking, and he was launched into the air like a cannonball, slamming heavily against the ceiling.

"Third punch!"

Xia Nuo shattered the ground and strode after Magellan, clenching his fists into a hammer shape. With a sinister grin, he smashed the fists down on Magellan, who was embedded in the wall!

boom! ! !
The entire Impel Down trembled violently, and the ground within a radius of 100 meters around Magellan collapsed.

The extremely violent shockwave blew away all the prison guards who came to help. Even Hannibal, who was on the ground, was so frightened that snot and tears streamed down his face. He had to cling to a pillar to avoid being blown away.

Call ~
The smoke gradually dispersed.

Xia Nuo casually brushed the dust off his clothes, straightened up, and spoke calmly:
"You've got reason to be proud that you could take so many of my punches before you fell."

Behind him, Magellan lay in the center of the giant pit, his eyes rolled back, covered in blood. After twitching twice, he lay still, completely unconscious.

"The Commissioner...the Commissioner?!"

Hannibal screamed in terror, knelt beside Magellan, and stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

How could this be?
How could this be!

Hannibal has been in this prison for seventeen years! He's ambitious, power-hungry, and wants to take Magellan's place more than anyone else.

But in the end, Magellan's image in his mind was unattainable, and could even be described as a synonym for power, reliability, and near invincibility!
But... but facing this man named Xia Nuo...

After the opponent got serious, he was completely defeated after only taking three punches and one kick?!
"There's no need to worry too much, he won't die."

Xia Nuo spoke, glancing at the keychain on Magellan's waist but not picking it up. After looking around, she turned her gaze directly to the stairs leading to the next floor:

"Now, no one should be stopping me, right?"

The next level is the extreme cold hell, which mostly imprisons pirates with bounties of around 100 million Berries. There's not much to do there. In the crevice below that, level 5.5, are Ivankov, Lightning, and the others.

From a standpoint of perspective, they are allies on the same side.

But the new ladyboy amusement park is really disgusting, and I really can't understand why these revolutionary soldiers have been hiding in such a place for more than ten years without leaving.

What is Dragon's plan?

It's just too strange no matter how you look at it.

In short, if Ivankov doesn't take the initiative to come and see him, he has no interest in making a special trip to see him at this time.

"Let's go straight down to the bottom floor," Xia Nuo thought to herself, and started walking towards the stairwell.

Snapped.

Just then, a bloody hand struggled to grab his ankle.

Ok?
Xia Nuo looked down and saw that Hannibal had somehow crawled to his feet. He mustered all his strength to lift his head and said hoarsely:
"The director has fallen, but... I'm still here, hey, pirate, I... I will never..."

The words are not finished yet.

Hannibal's head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

However, since his thigh was pierced by the flying finger gun, he had not received any treatment and had lost too much blood. The fact that he had been able to hold on until now was already his limit.

They're all so old, why are they putting on this hot-blooded shonen anime? It makes me feel like some kind of ultimate villain...

Xia Nuo shook his head speechlessly, gently moved Hannibal's hand away, and continued walking towards the stairwell.

Along the way, the prison guards they encountered all retreated in terror, trembling and shaking, wishing they could merge with the walls; they dared not approach to stop them any further.

Lv6, "Infinite Hell".

This is the most terrifying and mysterious place in Impel Down, where countless heinous criminals capable of shaking the world are imprisoned, including some who can be called legends of the old era.

The world government deliberately erased their names from history, and as time has passed, many of them have been forgotten by this ocean.

At the end of the dimly lit passageway.

Rumble~
As Xia Nuo walked unimpeded through the heavy steel gates and stepped into the prison, he was greeted by a murky air filled with the stench of blood and decay.

The torches on the wall flickered, casting his long shadow.

In the cells near the exits on both sides, pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up and glanced over.

"Huh? A blonde bombshell just came in this morning, and another one's already been brought in?"

"It's so hard to even sleep peacefully... Wait, that's not right, this kid came in by himself, doesn't seem to be a criminal, tsk, is he one of Impel Down's new guards?"

"That's really daring, hehe. The only ones who dare to enter the sixth floor alone are Magellan and Shiryu. Even Hannibal was so scared that he almost wet his pants after we teased him a little."

"Newcomers are often so arrogant. Hey kid, didn't your superiors warn you that the sixth level isn't a place for a newbie like you to just come here?"

Xia Nuo ignored the prisoners' provocations, calmly scanning the cells on both sides, searching for Beverly's figure.

But, just as he took a step forward—

"I'm talking to you, how dare you ignore me! Hey! Are you looking for death, brat!"

hum!
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the cell on the right and pressed down on us!

Overlord color and domineering!
And this is just the beginning.

Like a domino effect, more than a dozen prisoners followed suit, unleashing their Conqueror's Haki, which intertwined and collided in the air as they surged toward Shano.

This caused the air on the entire sixth floor to begin to rumble and tremble!
"Hahaha, kid, now you know how powerful I am!"

"Apart from those two monsters, this is an area that the other prison guards dare not easily set foot in!"

"If you can't hold on, kneel down and beg for mercy. Maybe then we'll spare your life!"

The prisoners' wild laughter echoed in the dimly lit dungeon.

Conqueror's Haki is extremely rare, even among a million people, and it is extremely uncommon in places like the New World.

But on this sixth floor, it's nothing unusual at all!

however.

When they could see Xia Nuo's reaction by the dim light of the torches, their laughter abruptly stopped.

Xia Nuo remained standing in the same spot, not even a strand of hair fluttering, as if the Conqueror's Haki didn't exist at all.

When he looked up, a deep disappointment appeared in his dark eyes.

"That's it?"

He spoke softly, his voice not loud, but all the prisoners could hear him clearly, "It seems that those imprisoned on the sixth floor are ultimately just a bunch of small fry."

next moment--

boom! ! ! !

A pressure ten times more terrifying than the Conqueror's Haki released by the prisoners together erupted from Xia Nuo's body!

Black and red lightning, like an angry dragon, swept across the entire sixth floor. The ceiling and floor began to crack and pop, and the torches on the walls were extinguished instantly!
"Wha...what?!"

"What terrifying Conqueror's Haki..."

"Impossible! Even Roger... no! Even if Rocks were reborn, he wouldn't be any better!"

The prisoners were terrified, and more than ten of them who were closest to the prisoners foamed at the mouth and fainted.

Many old things that usually disdain to make a sound, those real monsters, opened their eyes at this moment, looking at the figure walking through the darkness with surprise and uncertainty.

This guy……

Who is he? !
Just now.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

A chilling laugh suddenly came from the depths of the passageway, accompanied by the crisp sound of military boots striding in.

"That was truly wonderful, everyone."

A tall, muscular figure, draped in a white cloak, slowly emerged from the darkness.

With a snap, he casually lit a cigar, the light illuminating the sinister face of the middle-aged man and the crimson-gold sword at his waist.

"The warden, Shiryu of the Rain!"

"Why is that weirdo here too?!"

The prisoners let out terrified gasps, and several even instinctively shrank deeper into their cells, clearly traumatized by Shiryu.

Da da.

Shiryu of the Rain, a cigar dangling from his lips, walked slowly to a cell and suddenly drew his sword without warning.

Swish!
Blood splattered on the wall. The prisoner who had first shouted and provoked Xia Nuo stared wide-eyed in shock, clutching his throat as he slowly collapsed.

"A bunch of ignorant and arrogant good-for-nothings."

Shiryu flicked the blood off his knife and glanced contemptuously at the cells on either side:

"Your eyes are just for show, and with your pathetic Conqueror's Haki, you dare to be so insolent before a true king?"

He turned around, and when he faced Xia Nuo, he grinned, his violent expression vanishing. He bowed slightly and gave a respectful salute.
"I have been waiting here for a long time, sir. These idiotic pirates are so stupid that they don't even realize it. They have disturbed your enjoyment. I am truly sorry to have made you laugh."

Ok?
Xia Nuo raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, and was about to say something.

From the depths of the passageway, the clanging sound of swaying chains suddenly came, followed by a hoarse, aged voice:
"Judging from your expression, this guy doesn't seem to be one of your Impel Down crew. Hey, Shiryu, have you become a traitor...? Since when have you started bowing and scraping to pirates outside?"

Shiryu, cigar in mouth, slowly turned to face the direction from which the sound came, a cold smile playing on his lips:
"Kowtowing and scraping? Ha..."

He casually exhaled a smoke ring, placed the knife against his shoulder, and the crimson gleam of the blade flickered in the darkness, sending a chill down the spines of many prisoners.
"It's ridiculous. You old codgers locked in cages have been abandoned by the times for too long. Of course you wouldn't understand what kind of person the man standing in front of you is."

Shiryu took a deep breath, suddenly raised his voice, and shouted sternly:
"Open your dog eyes and look carefully! This is the current Emperor of the Sea, who personally killed one of the Four Emperors! He slaughtered the Celestial Dragons! His bounty exceeds five billion Berries—"

"Lord Xia Nuo!"

The entire sixth floor instantly fell into a deathly silence.

A full few seconds later.

Deep within the prison cells, gasps of astonishment could be heard rising and falling.

Hey, is this for real?!

Just kidding!

That Shiryu, are you kidding me?!
What...what did they hear?!
