I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Figo pulled out a Den Den Mushi twice...

Figo pushed him into the deck...

[Character Event (Activated): Peslow, furious at having his missions repeatedly thwarted, vows to take revenge on Figo.]

Event requirement: Have Peslow, or help Peslow, sue Figo in front of the Five Elders.

"...Damn it, I didn't hit you hard enough."

Chapter Fifteen: Enhancing Participation

Meanwhile, the two CP9 members, unaware of what was happening on the warship, were leading seven Titans in a grand escape, and could already see the coastline and the warship in the distance.

The giants were tall enough to see much farther, and suddenly one of them stopped, panting, and shouted, "What is that!"

The other six giants then noticed a small black dot rapidly approaching them from a great distance.

"people?"

The two CP9 members looked at each other, and the man with slicked-back hair said, "Our comrades must have already seized a warship and are coming to pick us up."

"No, it's not..."

"That is?!"

Without the giants needing to say anything, the two CP9 members also saw the rapidly approaching figure.

Or, to put it another way, a walking chain.

The figure was covered by a dozen or so thick chains, obscuring its face and making it difficult for them to see clearly at first.

But those chains were clearly designed for giants. Peslow wasn't that tall either; the person who came could only be… Figo!

How could he be here? Both CP9 members were startled and extremely puzzled.

"Captain Figo, the Warden of Impel Down!" The giants recognized Figo even before they did. One of the giants' expressions changed, and he said with difficulty, "Gentlemen, it seems we won't be able to escape today. We don't know why you saved us, but the giant race will forever remember your kindness! You run! The seven of us will hold him off here!"

The giants' attitude surprised the two of them.

Don't you even have the courage to fight to the death?

However, they wouldn't run away. The giants didn't know what was going on, but didn't they? So they didn't respond for a moment.

Upon seeing this, another giant quickly exclaimed, "That's Figo, the warden of Impel Down! The guy who's guarded Impel Down for years without a single incident!"

"It is said that he jumps into the sea every day to fight and kill sea kings, and can eat a whole sea king in one meal!"

"He was still a capricious tyrant. Every now and then, he would inexplicably order the jailers to starve a prisoner for several days, enjoying the thrill of letting the prisoner starve to death! Or he would randomly select a powerful pirate to torture and humiliate him to the extreme!"

"The great pirates on the fifth and sixth floors tried all sorts of methods to kill him, but none of them succeeded!"

"Although we didn't see him fight, in our current weakened state, there's absolutely no way we can defeat him. I'm sorry, your companion is probably doomed. You'd better run!"

The giants took turns speaking.

The two CP9 members felt a little strange.

This...are you talking about Figo? The guy who spent all day sunbathing on the boat the other day, agreeing to everything we said, and never complaining?

Their reputation has been damaged. I attacked them because of their high crime rate, and also to complete my assigned task. Making a pirate starve for days for no reason must mean the scenes in his character's storyline made me extremely uncomfortable… From afar, Figo also heard the giants' shouts and threw the iron chains hanging from his body to the ground.

With a loud crash, the sound of hundreds of pounds of iron chains crashing down made the earth tremble slightly and interrupted the giants' words: "Since you understand, come over and put the chains on yourselves. Don't waste your time!"

"And you too!" Figo said to the two CP9 members, "How dare you disrupt a Navy execution? Your comrade has already been captured, so you'd better surrender now!"

Huh?

Upon hearing this warning, the two CP9 members felt reassured. Others might not know, but Figo knew their identities.

Arrest Brother Peslow? No way! We're from the World Government, how dare he?

Moreover, he didn't reveal our identities, which clearly indicates that he had communicated with Brother Peslow, or even... reached an agreement to some extent?

Should we add a scene where we fight the giants together to make this escape seem more realistic?

Yes, that's most likely the case!

The two CP9 members exchanged glances in the air and made a 'reasonable deduction'.

Then... "Kill him!"

With a loud shout, two CP9s charged towards Figo. The seven giants were startled, some shouting "No!" and others hurriedly followed, not wanting their two benefactors to face Figo alone.

At this moment, CP9, the male with slicked-back hair who was leading the charge, was already very close to Figo.

"We can't use the Six Powers of the Navy. But since it's a performance, we need to be realistic, at least on the surface, we need to use our full strength. The giants' descriptions are definitely exaggerated. We've been on the ship together for several days. Captain Figo does have a big appetite, but do we really think he can eat a whole Sea King in one meal?"

But no matter what, this warden shouldn't be someone I can easily injure...' He thought to himself, his body beginning to change rapidly.

The black hair turned into light yellow fur, and a 'king' character mark appeared on the bare forehead. Yellow-brown fur grew on the arms and legs, gradually transforming into limbs for running, and eventually into a huge tiger!

Zoan-type Devil Fruit: Tiger-Tiger Fruit!

"Roar~!"

With a powerful roar, the huge tiger suddenly increased its speed and leaped at the right distance to pounce on Figo!

Zoan-type Devil Fruits generally enhance strength and speed, but when he transformed into a tiger, he received an all-around boost!

The attack was swift and powerful, but as it approached Figo, it suddenly lost track of him. Then he felt a sharp pain on his cheek, and the world spun around him. The huge tiger was thrown high into the air, crashing to the ground like a rag doll, finally letting out a painful groan.

What... what happened?

I didn't see it clearly.

He shook his head repeatedly, trying to clear his vision, and found that a huge shadow was looming over him, and his expression gradually became blank.

Is it a monster?!

How can he be so strong?

And why isn't he releasing water?!

Boom! The 12-meter giant, whose wrist was grabbed by Figo and who had been swung around, crashed down, causing the bewildered CP9 to completely lose consciousness!

……

A few minutes later, Figo carried an unconscious CP9 on his shoulder and escorted the giants, who were covered in dust and had been chained up again, back to the warship.

The giants are incredibly depressed.

Life is truly full of ups and downs...

Thinking he could escape, he ended up sending himself back, and also implicated two of his benefactors.

No, my three benefactors.

I told them I couldn't beat them, but my benefactors wouldn't listen!

The sailors on the ship had already heard the commotion and felt that one wave after another was rising. Someone really dared to break into the execution ground and succeeded.

Is Lieutenant Colonel Xiao alright?

Of course it's fine. If CP9 really dared to kill Marines, their crime rate would skyrocket, wouldn't it? Figo wasn't worried at all; in fact, he was quite happy.

This voyage was a complete success.

Originally, they could only have gained one nun.

Now three CP9s have been added.

Even if there are no criminals, we'll create them and arrest them!

Ignoring Peslow's dark expression, Figo threw his two CP9 companions into the same cell, then led the giants back into the cell one by one, waiting for the prison files to pop up.

Just as the first giant was locked up, the prison file arrived as scheduled, so fast that Figo was a little disappointed. After all, the faster the prison file was recorded, the weaker the prisoner was.

Are these two CP9s really only R-rated?

Figo glanced up and was taken aback.

This time, the prison records did not have blank pages.

Instead, it opened the page corresponding to the giant who had just been sent to the prison!

Moreover, the information has changed!

[Prisoner: Peter]

[Rank: R8]

[Status: Detained]

Crime Index: 17

[Participation rate in the arrest: 3% + 50%]

[Benefits: Giant's Strength +14 + 267 → 405 (Level 2 Giant Child)]

A feeling of lightness washed over me.

My strength has also increased slightly!

The participation rate in the arrest was 3%+50%?

Earnings +14 and +267?!

Compared to before, the giants who were recaptured and imprisoned actually gave him a 50% bonus to his capture participation, and 267 points of Giant Power!

He sensed a message: capturing prisoners who were 'on the run' and bringing them back to their cells would replenish his capture participation points! And this replenished participation points were half of what would be gained from a normal capture!

The highest it can get is 50%.

A thousand surprises and a myriad of thoughts surged forth.

Figo looked at the other six giants as if he had discovered a treasure trove. A thought flickered in his mind: "When I was in Impel Down, my perspective... seemed to have become too narrow!"

Chapter Sixteen: The Dead Marines

[Benefit: Giant's Might (Rare) +54 +540 → 945 (Level 2 Giant Child)]

[Benefits: Giant's Might (Rare) +70 +700 → 1645 (Level 3 Giant Boy)]

[Benefits: Hegemony +17 +170 → 187 (Level 2 Giant Warrior)]

……

On the warship, Figo gradually received the supplementary benefits that the other six giants had gained.
