Chapter 31 The Infinite Hell Hunting Plan! (Please read on! Please vote with monthly tickets!)

The floor between the scorching hell and the freezing hell was violently blasted apart by Storm.

Above was a blazing sea of ​​fire.

Below is a cold, icy expanse.

The enormous temperature difference created a terrifying pressure difference between the two hellish realms.

At the moment the earth shattered.

An unprecedentedly powerful storm erupted within the scorching hell.

"My scorching hell!"

Hannibal, watching from afar, covered his head with his hands, his face showing utter terror.

"My scorching hell has been breached by Storm!!"

"Magellan! What the hell have you been stopping?!"

We had clearly agreed on this before.

Magellan had the authority to end the battle at any time.

But even the scorching hell was shattered by Storm.

Magellan simply watched from the sidelines.

In fact.

Magellan was also completely shocked.

He had thought that Storm was just asking for trouble by challenging Shiliu.

The result was completely unexpected...

Storm's strength is actually this great!

Look at that towering, earth-shaking thousand-armed Buddha statue.

Magellan couldn't even imagine how many people in Impel Down could withstand Storm's attack!

but.

Hannibal's shouts brought Magellan back to his senses in time.

Braving the strong wind, he rushed to Storm's side and unleashed the power of the [Venom-Venom Fruit] in time.

Magellan's already tall and imposing body instantly transformed into a "Venom Man" covered in venom.

Two ferocious-looking venomous dragons grew out of Magellan's body.

They intersected in mid-air, forming a giant "X" symbol.

"Stop! Storm!"

Magellan shouted.

"The battle is over!"

Storm sat cross-legged atop the Buddha's head, looking down at Magellan below.

At that moment, a rather subtle feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

once Upon a time.

In Storm's eyes, the Impel Down warden was incredibly powerful.

At this moment, it looks like...

It's just a tiny "three-inch purple sweet potato cube".

Defeating Shiryu of the Rain without expending too much effort made Storm's ego swell a bit.

There are no enemies ahead of us.

From this day forward, I shall stand in the heavens!

Storm took a deep breath.

He checked the star rating of the [Demon Ring].

I also checked the star rating of the [Clay Fruit].

My inflated ego quickly subsided.

Without even nine-star strength, how can one claim to be invincible?

Strom controls the white Buddha, a clay statue that melts like a candle.

The clay fell to the earth and quickly repaired the shattered ground of the scorching hell.

Not long after.

The scorching hellish land was then restored to its original state by white clay.

The storm, which had been raging fiercely just moments before, subsided.

Storm returned to the ground and nodded to Magellan.

"Director."

Magellan didn't know what to say to this overly powerful subordinate.

In the end, he could only put on a stern face and adopt a businesslike attitude.

Are you satisfied with this result?

"Not entirely satisfied."

Storm shook his head and said seriously.

"Shiryu's strength is much weaker than I imagined."

This comment comes from the bottom of my heart.

In Storm's view, Shiliu's ability to withstand blows was indeed much weaker than he had imagined.

Shiryu the Rain, who was so legendary among the prisoners in Impel Down, never even did a single sit-up!

Bad review!

With such poor resilience, how will they survive on the high seas in the future?

To know.

The attack scale of the "Awakening Clay Fruit True Several Thousand Hands" just now seemed exaggerated.

In reality, Storm hadn't even wrapped Armament Haki around the fist of "True Thousand Hands" yet!

An ordinary clay fist was enough to take down Shiryu.

Is this what is meant by "Imperial City's Iron Wall"?

Could Magellan be the "wall" of Impel Down?

Is Shiryu of the Rain the "second wall" of Impel Down?

Magellan, of course, couldn't hear Storm's inner grumbling.

But the other party's attitude still gave Magellan a huge headache.

That troublemaker!

"Stromb, can you stop targeting Shiryu now?"

Helpless, Magellan could only steer the conversation toward work-related matters.

"Can you focus your energy on your job?"

Work?

Storm caught the keyword and his eyes lit up.

"Of course! Director! I love my job!"

Storm fully demonstrated his initiative.

"However, the management of the first five levels is not difficult for me at all."

"I hereby request passage to the sixth level, the Infinite Hell!"

"No!"

Magellan rejected Storm's job offer without hesitation.

"There's no room for discussion on this!"

After saying that, Magellan didn't even look at Storm; instead, he waved to Hannibal on the other side.

"Hannibal! Go to the fifth floor below! Bring Shiliu back!"

"Huh? Me?"

Hannibal pointed to himself.

"Another trip to the freezing cold of hell?"

Magellan and Hannibal walked away together.

Only Storm remained in the spot.

He watched the backs of the current and future directors and silently shook his head.

Regarding Magellan's reaction.

Storm had actually anticipated this.

The prisoners held in the Infinite Hell are all individuals that the World Government keeps under strict surveillance.

The Infinite Hell is a matter of great importance.

Even many of the prisoners held in Impel Down were unaware that there was a "sixth level" in the prison.

The jailers in Impel Down are qualified to go to the sixth level.

The problem is...

Storm's personal qualifications are far too shallow!

Magellan, as the director, did not have enough trust in Storm.

If Storm, like Hannibal, had worked diligently in Impel Down for over a decade.

Then he can freely "visit" the Infinite Hell.

But Strom is not Hannibal.

He wasn't even a "hardline government faction"—he was sent by the Navy!

of course.

If Storm is willing to work hard and gain seniority in Impel Down for several years.

Then Magellan's trust in him would definitely increase significantly.

But it still comes down to those four words—

Time waits for no one!

The storm of a new era is about to arrive; how can we stand still?

Storm exhaled a breath of stale air.

Since that's the case, let's proceed according to the original plan!

Storm summoned the Diamond Trophy he had just acquired and threw it into the Clay Fruit.

Clay-Clay Fruit: ★★★★★★☆

A Devil Fruit power with a rating of six and a half stars!

……

In the following days.

During the day, Storm maintains his daily training, continuously developing the [Clay Fruit].

With the added boost of a burst of inspiration.

Storm successfully developed a number of "awakening techniques".

Also.

Based on his previous inspiration, Storm also developed two types of "special clay" with entirely new properties—

Super light clay has a softer texture than regular clay and is also lighter in weight!

This heat-resistant clay possesses a hardness far exceeding that of ordinary clay, boasts top-notch fire resistance, and is completely ineffective against the scorching flames of hell!

Super light clay is secondary.

The key is heat-resistant clay!

Storm developed "heat-resistant clay," which was a significant boost to his own strength.

In the past, when he used the [Clay Fruit] ability...

Due to the soft nature of clay, many attacks fail to achieve the desired effect.

But heat-resistant clay is different.

This thing is hard!

Which is heavier, "one kilogram of cotton" or "one kilogram of iron"?

The answer to this question is self-evident.

But which is more effective, "throwing a person with a kilogram of cotton" or "throwing a person with a kilogram of iron"?

Of course, it's an iron block!

The "heat-resistant clay" with its extremely high hardness is like the difference between iron and cotton compared to the original clay!

Based on the heat-resistant clay, Strom has carried out further development.

He eventually developed a special clay with extremely high hardness and a smooth, lustrous surface.

It's more accurate to call it "porcelain clay" than "clay".

Or it could be "ceramics"!

Strom is like a "human processing machine," transforming the original "clay" into "ceramics" through fine processing.

Beyond exploring the property variations of the [Clay Fruit].

Storm did something else during these few days.

Every night.

Storm would use the assimilation ability of the Clay-Clay Fruit to sneak into the sixth level of Infinite Hell without anyone noticing.

The basic environment within the Infinite Hell, the prison cells where the key prisoners are located, and the location information of the Den Den Mushi being monitored...

Storm continued to gather information about the Infinite Hell.

This is scouting the location beforehand!

Storm's ever-growing strength fuels his desire for the higher-level Grand Prix Cup.

He cannot enter the Infinite Hell through normal means.

Once he chooses to venture into the Infinite Hell, it basically means that he has completely broken with his past identity as a jailer!

This requires Storm to maximize his gains in a single operation!

But the infinite hell is just too big.

The number of prisoners held in the Infinite Hell is far too many.

In Storm's eyes, there were only a handful of prisoners who were truly valuable.

First and foremost is Katarina Depon, the Crescent Moon Hunter who possesses the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit.

Secondly, there is Bondi Waldo, the world destroyer who possesses the [Momo Fruit].

Other characters include the tyrannical king Avaro Pizarro, the colossal battleship San Juan Wolf, and the giant barrel Basque Jote...

If Storm wants to successfully complete his hunting plan, he cannot blindly pursue too much.

He must deal the highest damage in the shortest amount of time and get the most kills!

That day.

Storm completed all the preparations.

The Infinite Hell Hunting Project has officially begun!

Impel Down, Level 1, Crimson Hell.

Storm quickly walked to his target.

Before the other person could react, he raised his right fist and slammed it hard into the other person's face.

boom!

Caught off guard, the deputy director was sent flying backward.

This was the first target that Storm approached.

It was none other than—

Shiryu of the Rain!
