Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 23 A True Man Lives Between Heaven and Earth! (Please Read On! Please Vote!)

The moment Edward Teach finished speaking.

A whirlwind seemed to have appeared out of nowhere at the new ladyboy amusement park.

Faint, dark red arcs of electricity crisscrossed the void, an invisible force of intimidation enveloping the entire area.

Even the few transvestites standing at the very edge of the crowd felt an inexplicable sense of oppression at that moment.

"Conqueror's Haki!?"

Ivankov, who was closest to the site, was the first to feel the presence of this deterrent force.

Even the transvestite king, who had weathered many storms, couldn't help but break out in a few beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Such awe-inspiring spirit! Such a grand dream!"

Ivankov was speechless, staring at Edward Teach with a look of surprise and shock.

"I'm afraid only the white-bearded man's son could possess it!"

From this moment on...

Ivankov no longer had any doubts about Edward Teach's identity.

He is definitely "Whitebeard III"!

On an emotional level, Ivankov greatly admired the plan that Edward Teach had just proposed.

"Select the most powerful subordinates from the most terrifying infinite hell!"

Teach just openly proposed a plan that most people wouldn't even dare to think about!

However, rationally speaking, Ivankov was not optimistic about Edward Teach's future.

Infinite Hell, what kind of place is that?

The criminals imprisoned there were almost all monsters who had been deliberately erased from history by the World Government because they were too vicious.

Every prisoner in the Infinite Hell could be considered a legendary figure outside!

Can Edward Teach really recruit subordinates from the Infinite Hell?

Ivankov had no idea the answer to this question.

At this moment, however, he did not express any negative opinion about Teach's words, but calmly pressed for an answer.

"Teach, what exactly do you need me to do?"

If Edward Teach wanted Ivankov to help build up this "infinite hell recruitment plan".

For example, being responsible for the cleanup operation, helping Edward Teach and his potential future subordinates to secretly escape Impel Down...

So Ivankov could grit his teeth and agree.

Trivia.

The new transvestite park connects to all the secret passages, large and small, within Impel Down.

From the first level of the Crimson Lotus Hell to the fifth level of the Extreme Cold Hell.

The first five levels of Impel Down each have a secret passage leading to the new Ladyboy Paradise.

Even the jailers of Impel Down were unaware of the existence of these mysterious secret passages.

Ivankov was fully capable of helping a group move freely within the first five levels of Impel Down without anyone noticing.

Edward Teach seemed a little distracted.

But after hearing what the transvestite king said, he quickly focused his attention again.

Didn't I just say that?

"My goal is endless hell!"

"Ivankov, come with me to the infinite hell!"

Edward Teach once again extended a "friend's hand" to the Queen of the Transagi Family.

"We're friends!"

"What kind of friends are we if we can't go through thick and thin together?"

"King of the Transgender, you'll go to hell with me, won't you?"

Ivankov himself did not know whether he would go to hell after his death.

But it was Edward Teach who extended the invitation at this time.

To Ivankov, it was nothing short of a call from hell!

In an instant.

Ivankov was drenched in sweat.

He originally intended to repay Edward Teach for saving Lightning's life.

But how did this situation develop into...?

He's going to give his life to Edward Teach?!

"Me, you, friend, um... hahaha."

Ivankov wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, chuckled, and asked vaguely.

"Teach, if you really enter the Infinite Hell, how will you recruit those vicious criminals?"

"What would I do? Gurarara..."

Edward Teach burst into laughter, his loud laughter echoing throughout the cave.

"I will unlock the shackles of all the prisoners in the infinite hell!"

"I will unleash an unprecedented beast-fighting battle within the Infinite Hell!"

"Only those who survive endless battles are worthy to become my subordinates!"

The future on the normal timeline.

There was indeed a "Teach" who did just that.

But that man's name was "Blackbeard Teach".

And then came the words spoken by "Whitebeard Teach".

Selecting subordinates through a process akin to raising poisonous insects in an endless hell.

It's a complete lie!

Edward Teach—or more accurately, Storm.

Everything that Storm had said to Ivankov was true.

He wants to enter the infinite hell!

He wants to create the most terrifying pirate crew in history!

He wants to defeat Whitebeard, defeat all competitors, and become the world's strongest pirate!

He also wanted to select the most elite and powerful subordinates from among the world's most evil and terrifying criminals!

but.

Who says the world's most evil and powerful criminals only exist in the infinite hell?

Look at this "Edward Teach," isn't he also lawless and arrogant?

To be fair...

Storm isn't Blackbeard.

He had absolutely no interest in recruiting the trash of the infinite hell.

He is not the sun god Nika.

Driven by personal greed, he facilitated the escape of a large number of villains from Impel Down.

Storm's goal has always been singular—

The Grand Prize Cup for those legendary powerhouses in the Infinite Hell!

Storm volunteered to come to Impel Down.

They came here for the grand prize trophy held by the countless prisoners imprisoned here!

He didn't come to Impel Down as a jailer just to work for the World Government for the rest of his life!

Now, thanks to the continuous addition of points in the Grand Prix Cup.

Storm's overall strength has reached five stars!

His Clay Fruit has even reached the Awakening level!

Even the four-star [Golden Trophy].

It has lost its appeal for Storm now.

In other words.

Impel Down is no longer a "leveling paradise"!

under these circumstances.

Storm, of course, had to start thinking about his plans to leave Impel Down.

Enter the city, the seven levels of hell.

Storm fought his way from the first level of Crimson Hell to the fifth level of the New Transvestite Paradise.

In the end, only the prisoners in the infinite hell remained untouched by him.

Storm had long planned to make a big splash in Infinite Hell and finally reap the rewards of the Grand Prize.

Then they left Impel Down and headed for the freer sea.

A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long!

Today's unexpected encounter with lightning led to the discovery of Ivankov behind him, as well as the "hidden map" of the new ladyboy amusement park.

Storm naturally conceived the idea of ​​using this group of powerful transvestites to aid his plans.

Now we'll see how Ivankov responds!

Even though the Queen of the Transagi Family had long been aware of Edward Teach's extraordinary nature.

But after hearing the other party's plan, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Let all the prisoners in the infinite hell kill each other, and choose the ultimate criminal who will survive!"

You can tell from the sound of it that it was Teach who did this!

however……

"Teach, Infinite Hell is not Extreme Cold Hell."

Ivankov earnestly advised him.

"The guards of the Infinite Hell are very powerful, and there are surveillance Den Den Mushi everywhere there."

"Without orders from Warden Magellan, even the jailers cannot freely enter or leave the Infinite Hell."

"And if there is the slightest disturbance within the Infinite Hell, the monitoring room will immediately receive the message."

"At that time, the entire Impel Down force will be mobilized quickly!"

"You will face real, terrifying forces from hell!"

"Especially Magellan, the warden of Impel Down!"

Ivankov was not an inexperienced newcomer to the sea.

As the commander of the Great Air Route Army of the Revolutionary Army.

Ivankov knew very well just how terrifying monsters the powerful figures standing at the top of the pyramid of power in the sea truly were!

White beard, red hair, beasts, Big Mom...

These names, even just spoken, are enough to send chills down the spines of ordinary people.

Not many people know about Magellan on the high seas.

However, Ivankov, who had lived in Impel Down for some time, knew very well just how powerful that "poison man" really was!

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Inside Impel Down, Magellan's strength was comparable to that of the World Government's top combat force!

Ivankov didn't want to face such a terrible enemy.

"Gurala la la..."

Edward Teach smiled, then suddenly stood up and walked toward the exit of the new ladyboy amusement park.

"Wait a moment, please allow me to introduce you to a new friend."

No transvestite dared to obstruct Whitebeard III's actions.

Even Ivankov did not take any action.

He simply sat quietly in his chair, watching Edward Teach turn and leave.

In no time at all.

Edward Teach returns to the new Ladyboy Wonderland.

Beside his tall and imposing figure, a slender figure appeared.

"Vongola Storm!?"

Ivankov was instantly horrified.

He jumped off the chair and instinctively assumed a defensive stance.

"What are you doing here!?"

The new transvestite park has always been outside of Impel Down's surveillance system.

No prison staff knew of the existence of "5.5 Floor".

At that moment, Ivankov suddenly saw Vongola Storm.

This terrifying prison warden, who had only been in prison for a short time, was able to brutally beat Shiryu.

How could the King of Transvestites not be utterly horrified?!

"Teach? What are you doing standing there watching!"

"Calm down, Ivankov."

Edward Teach said in a muffled voice.

"Storm is my partner."

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Ivankov sensed that Tich before him seemed less sharp and unruly than before…

But he still heard Teach clearly.

"Vongola Storm, you're Teach's partner?"

"No! You're wrong, Okama King."

Storm's smile was wild and unrestrained.

"I am not a partner of Whitebeard III!"

"I am Captain Whitebeard III!"
