Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Robin, who had just walked over, immediately became extremely serious upon hearing this name.

"For pirates, that place is like hell."

Impeldown, the underwater prison, is one of the three major agencies directly under the World Government, along with Enies Robbie on Enies Lobby and Marineford.

Located deep within the Calm Belt, it imprisons countless notorious criminals and is the nightmare of all pirates.

Countless legends about the horrors of Impeldown circulate on the high seas.

"It is said that since its establishment,"

Robin's voice lowered, "The only exception was Shiki the Golden Lion back then. Apart from that, none of the prisoners who were imprisoned there ever came out alive. It is a true Jedi."

At this moment, Vivi finally recovered from her shock and continued Robin's words with concern: "Moreover, it is located in the calm zone, with no wind and no stable currents, making it impossible for ordinary sailboats to move. There are also a large number of giant sea kings living around it, making it extremely dangerous."

Several people sat around in the deck rest area, their brows furrowed, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

While the Thousand Sunny's Coke-powered propulsion system and the ship spirit Merry can mitigate the effects of the Calm Belt to some extent, the defensive strength of Impel Down itself, the ubiquitous Sea Kings, and the support speed from the nearby Marine Headquarters pose enormous challenges.

Vivi's abilities are greatly reduced in the Calm Belt.

"How to do?"

Nami looked at Robin and Vivi, then subconsciously searched for Luffy. "Should we tell Luffy about this?"

Robin shook her head slightly, her gaze deep, and said, "I think Luffy already knows."

She recalled the private conversation between Kuma and Luffy, and what happened to Luffy afterward.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, unsure of what to do.

They would attack Enies Lobby without hesitation for Robin's sake, and they would not fear Impel Down for Ace's rescue.

But this time, the opponent is clearly more terrifying than CP9, and the environment is much harsher.

"What, are you all already thinking about attacking Impel Down?"

Luffy's voice suddenly came through.

He had walked over without me noticing.

Robin looked at him and said gently but firmly, "Whatever decision you make, we will have no objection."

"Don't worry,"

Luffy paused for a moment, then his familiar smile returned, but his eyes were unusually clear: "I know what I'm doing. Directly storming Impel Down to rescue Ace now seems like a wrong and reckless decision."

He touched his nose, his tone becoming a little strange, "That guy Ace has an insanely strong sense of pride, he definitely wouldn't want his younger brother to see him looking so pathetic."

Taking your friends to attack Impel Down is a terrible idea.

A person might be a little more reckless.

Luffy trusts his crewmates, but does that mean they can defeat an Admiral?

Not at least not now.

He already had a plan in mind.

First, let's go see the man named Silvers Reilly that Big Bear mentioned.

If all else fails, how about capturing a high-ranking figure from the Navy or the World Government to exchange for hostages?

Anyway, there are still many ways.

Ace was simply captured and imprisoned in Impel Down. In accordance with Impel Down's usual practice, he was simply kept locked up and his life was not in danger.

As long as people are alive, there is hope.

"Let's go to Sabaody Archipelago," Luffy decided.

at the same time.

Inside an office in Mary Geoise.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat behind his desk, veins bulging on his forehead.

Across the desk sat Bartholomew Bear, a burly man with an expressionless face.

Beside him, the so-called naval hero Garp carelessly pulled out a bag of senbei (rice crackers) and was about to make tea.

Meanwhile, a goat was leisurely chewing on documents in a nearby wastepaper basket.

Between Garp and Kuma, Sengoku chose to attack the former first.

"What a joke, Bartholomew Bear!"

Sengoku slammed his fist on the table and roared, "With your abilities, you haven't even brought back a single person? Give me a decent excuse! I'm the one reporting to the higher-ups! This was a joint operation by two Shichibukai!"

Kuma's voice remained as calm and even as ever: "Moria did not agree to join forces. He was defeated by Straw Hat Luffy first."

He concealed the information about his conversation with the Five Elders and his deal with Luffy.

Even Sengoku didn't know that Kuma could contact the Five Elders alone, and as for the deal with Luffy, even the Five Elders didn't know about it.

He himself was a member of the revolutionary army.

Xiong's current identity is indeed complicated, and it involves several forces and important figures.

Upon hearing this, Garp, instead of being worried, burst into laughter, slapping his thigh forcefully: "Pfft, hahaha! As expected of my grandson, well done!"

"Shut up, Garp!"

Sengoku glared angrily at his old friend, feeling his blood pressure soaring.

He gritted his teeth and said to Kuma, "The order from above was to wipe out the entire Straw Hat crew! You didn't even bring back a single head, you've disgraced the Seven Warlords and the Navy!"

Chapter 280 Robin: Did I come at the wrong time?

Even during the Warring States period, people knew that scolding a bear was useless.

But this anger always needs to be vented.

What can we do? Criticize Garp?

Look at him!

Garp picked his nose and waved his hand as if he knew everything: "Don't worry, Sengoku. Luffy isn't the kind of shallow guy who goes around bragging just because he defeated a Shichibukai."

He knew what the Warring States period was worried about.

They're just worried that news of Moria's defeat will get out.

He's just a mere Shichibukai.

snort!

Zhan Guo snorted heavily, cursing inwardly:

It's all because he's your precious grandson!

He turned his gaze back to the bear and questioned, "Even if that idiot Moria threw his life away, with your strength, taking down the other Straw Hat crew members while he was fighting the Straw Hat Pirates should have been a piece of cake, right? Is there some hidden expert on their ship?"

With two Shichibukai, one of you can hold off Straw Hat Luffy while the other deals with his crew. Even a pig could bring back a few heads if it went.

And you're telling me you got nothing?

The bear was silent for a moment, then replied:

"Even while fighting Moria, Straw Hat Luffy's Observation Haki was still able to clearly pinpoint my location and movements. He has the capacity to protect his crew even while engaged in fierce battle."

simply put.

He is very strong.

I can not do it.

Sengoku's face visibly darkened, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the table.

Has Straw Hat Boy become this strong?

Did Aokiji not release water?

It can't be that he broke through again less than a month after fighting Aokiji.

He scoffed and said, "Even now, we won't drop the warrant for the Straw Hat crew's arrest, especially since they're actively moving closer to Marine Headquarters' sphere of influence. If they dare cause any trouble in the Sabaody Archipelago..."

Before Sengoku could finish speaking, Garp interrupted him with a tea bag in his hand, looking innocent: "Don't worry about such things. By the way, Sengoku, I brought some new tea. Hurry up and take out the senbei you've been hiding to share!"

This extremely inappropriate action completely ignited Sengoku's anger. He abruptly stood up, pointed at Garp's nose, and began to hurl insults:

"Shut up, Garp! You bastard! Is this the time for tea and senbei?!"

Sengoku suspected that he would die one day not in the fight to uphold the Navy's justice, but because he was driven to death by Garp.

......

The night was deep and the sea was calm.

The Thousand Sunny and the Going Merry are connected by a passageway.

A figure silently floated from the dock onto the deck of the Merry.

Her long, flowing black hair, reaching her waist, shimmered like satin in the moonlight. She wore a simple white dress and was barefoot, hovering a few centimeters above the deck, like a siren ghost under the moon.

That face, however, was exquisitely beautiful and aloof, with skin so fair it was almost translucent.

It was Merry who used the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Glass Form.

Maintaining this posture under the moon is extra easy.

However, maintaining this form seems to have had some impact on her temperament, making her less innocent and carefree and more aloof.

"Merry, what are you doing out so late?" Luffy's voice came from above. He was sitting on the edge of the deck, developing his Devil Fruit ability.

Hearing the noise, I turned around and was startled by the way Merry floated over.

I almost thought I had seen a female ghost.

If Luffy were to actually encounter a female ghost, his first reaction would be excitement.
