I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

"Oh dear, you've knocked out my mount. You'll have to take its place now!"

Bai Yun looked at the Sphinx and said.

"Noodle soup!!"

The Sphinx seemed to understand Bai Yun's provocation, raising its paw as if to strike Bai Yun.

Bai Yun used the same trick again, his red eyes flashing red light, and the Sphinx's body and claws paused.

Saludes' eyes widened in disbelief. Could this woman really control the Sphinx, which even their prison couldn't control?!

However, something unexpected happened to Bai Yun.

The Sphinx hesitated for a moment, then slammed its paw down.

The Sphinx is also a king, the king of these two levels, the king of the lion-man, and with a bit of human understanding and the ability to learn human speech, it is not so easy to intimidate and control.

"boom!"

With a bang, Sphinx's arm slammed down, Saldeese grinned, while Bucky and Mr. 3 covered their eyes, both thinking that Bai Yun had been smashed into a cookie.

However, Ace blocked the Sphinx's claws. Although it was Bai Yun's body, after the feedback from Lucky Roux's Armament Haki and Garp's physique, Bai Yun's physique was not bad.

"Hey, you're pretty strong."

Ace said with a smile.

"Bai Yun?"

The word "Bai Yun" was Ace asking Bai Yun if he could use his Devil Fruit ability. Since Armament Haki is applied to the physical body, Ace naturally couldn't use Bai Yun's body to unleash his own level of Armament Haki.

"Ok!"

Bai Yun felt he had lost face, but agreed to let Ace use his ability.

With permission granted, flames erupted from Ace's hand in an instant.

The Sphinx's claws were burned by the flames, causing it to cry out in pain as it raised them, giving Bai Yun and Ace the opportunity to escape.

The Sphinx continued to strike the ground, simply to extinguish the fire in its hand.

"He can even control flames?!"

"That's a Devil Fruit ability?"

"Why weren't they wearing stone handcuffs?!"

Saldeus was surprised to see Ace use fire. It was impossible for such strength to be limited to only one level, especially since he wasn't even wearing sea stone handcuffs.

Chapter 584 Lie down!

Bai Yun and the others arrived at the staircase leading from the second to the third floor.

Mr. 3 was willing to lead the way, as the stairs could take you to either the third or first floor.

Meanwhile, the prison warden Saludes received orders from Warden Magellan and had been stationed there early on. However, the sight of the blue gorillas collectively turning against him was unbelievable to him.

He simply ran to the stairs, had the jailer lower the bars to block the stairs, and let the second-floor King Sphinx deal with Bai Yun and his group.

The Sphinx lived up to its name as a king. After being intimidated by Bai Yun once, it was able to fight back and continue attacking, forcing Ace to use the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

The demonstration of the Flame-Flame Fruit's power shocked Saldes once again. The ability to control both flames and ferocious beasts was astounding. With such power, their intrusion into the prison must have some purpose, but what could that purpose be?!

........

After extinguishing the flames on its claws, Sphinx was clearly enraged by Ace's fiery claw attack, its eyes turning fierce as it let out a howling sound.

Raise both claws and slam them down.

"The board surface!!!"

Ace was itching to fight it, but Bai Yun grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back to avoid it.

"boom!"

"Bai Yun, what are you doing? Let me go up and fight it!"

Ace looked at Bai Yun and said, but saw a strange look in his eyes.

"Let me do it."

Bai Yun said, "I believe everyone has noticed that Xiao Bai's consciousness is now in control of the body."

"What a big kitten!"

Little White made a provocative remark to the Sphinx.

Sphinx stared wide-eyed, then paused, realizing that Bai Yun seemed different from before.

To use an analogy, it's like...

Marco faced Shanks, who appeared ordinary but released a small amount of Conqueror's Haki.

Just like Marco facing Shanks when he used his full Conqueror's Haki.

The Sphinx is the king of the lion-man.

And now it faces Bai Yun as if he were the king of all beasts.

"Get down."

Little White uttered two words, and Sphinx's body trembled, looking as if it was about to collapse, but it managed to resist, though it dared not retaliate.

Xiao Bai nodded. "Hmm, not bad, it can still hold up."

Immediately, Xiao Bai's eyes turned vertical, horns sprouted from his forehead, and his aura exploded, "I'll make you kneel down!"

Upon hearing this shout, the Sphinx immediately knelt down and bowed in submission.

The scene was quiet.

Bucky, Mr. 3, Saladeth's mouth was wide open.

"Horns...horns, he's grown horns on his head?!"

"Yes...yes!!"

Bucky and Mr. 3 couldn't help but wonder what White Luck was... what kind of creature it was.

Xiao Bai then disappeared back into hiding, regaining control of Bai Yun's consciousness over her body, and her horns also retracted.

The saying goes, "After accomplishing the task, one should leave without a trace, concealing one's merits and fame."

Ace's expression was solemn. Could such a powerful person really have no purpose in being inside Bai Yun's body?

........

Bai Yun regained control of his body and smiled when he saw the Sphinx lying in front of him.

"You should have just behaved before."

Bai Yun then reached out and touched the Sphinx, but his palm couldn't touch the flesh at all; instead, it was "swallowed" by the fur.

Bai Yun glanced at Saludes, who stiffened for a moment before quickly regaining his balance. He simply couldn't believe Bai Yun could break through the Seastone railing!

"What exactly is your purpose!?"

"You were captured and imprisoned on the first level, hiding your Devil Fruit abilities. You entered Impel Down with a purpose, didn't you?!"

"What are your true intentions?!"

In response to Saludes's question, Bai Yun smiled and asked.

"You want to know?"

Saldeese is so gentle, I can't figure it out.

"Um..."

Even if you want to know, I won't tell you.

"........"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"I don't know your mother. I'm not kidding her, I'm kidding you."

Saludes was absolutely furious.

"Don't get cocky!!"

The stairwell has been blocked off!

"You have nowhere else to go!!"

"Once the warden himself arrives, you won't be able to escape even if you grow wings!!"

"Yes, Bai Yun."

"The stairwell is blocked now, what should we do?"

Ace asked, "If you have any questions, ask Bai Yun. I'm used to it."

Buggy, on the other hand, was wondering if he could beat the little guy inside, since even if there were railings, he could use his Devil Fruit powers to get through them.

Mr. 3 was filled with despair, especially after hearing Saldeus mention Magellan. He thought to himself, "If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to stay in the prison."

In response to Ace's question and Saldeese's smugness, Bai Yun said, "Who said we have to take the stairs?"

"Kitten! Get up and smash it!!"

Bai Yun shouted, commanding the Sphinx.

Upon receiving the order, the Sphinx immediately stood up and began frantically pounding the ground.

Cracks gradually appeared on the ground, and fissures emerged.

Saldeis realized Bai Yun's plan, "Oh no!!!"

However, before he could utter those two words, the cracked ground beneath the Sphinx's feet, combined with its weight, collapsed.

Sphinx, along with Bai Yun and the others, and the herd of beasts, fell directly into the pit and headed to the third level.

“Oh my god!!!!”

Bucky and Mr. 3 are once again forced to go to the third level.

Even as Bai Yun fell, he didn't forget to wave goodbye to Saldeus.
