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

Cells that are close together will have similar lengths of detention.

Seven years of imprisonment did not extinguish their bloodthirstiness and ferocity. Although they usually looked sickly from hunger, they could still unleash their power when the time came!

What's more, he had just eaten a piece of meat.

"Go to hell!"

Thud! Thud! Thud! Clang!

Three fists and a drill-like arm struck Figo simultaneously, and the ferocity on the faces of the four pirates vanished instantly, replaced by horror and terror.

His entire body was covered in jet black, radiating a metallic luster and exuding a terrifying sense of power! Figo, whose entire body was covered in Armament Haki, glanced down at the drill-hand that was of some unknown Devil Fruit, smiled, and reached out his arms to the four escaped prisoners!

After a series of chilling screams and the sound of bones grinding together, silence returned to the stairwell!

All clear! All clear!

"Chief Figo took down all four prisoners in one fell swoop! No reinforcements needed!"

Before he even reached the stairwell, Kinkiri heard the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi after a dozen seconds. He slammed on the brakes, remained speechless for a moment, then shook his head and headed back towards the training area. "You seem to be kidding me."

The slight commotion in Impel Down subsided instantly. One of the guards even pointed at the surveillance Den Den Mushi and laughed, "Idiot! You've made us all panic. There are only four prisoners. Why would Warden Figo need reinforcements?!"

Behind the Den Den Mushi, the old prison guard, looking ashamed, shouted at the Den Den Mushi.

"Chief Figo is the strongest!"

“Of course!” someone replied.

"Chief Figo is the strongest!"

Soon, the shouts merged into one.

Compared to the jesters who were having a good time, the prisoners on the fifth floor, except for the nun, looked as if they had lost a family member as Figo dragged two limp prisoners back to the cell block like dead dogs.

It's better to have no hope at all than to have hope only to quickly turn to despair.

"hateful!"

"Four useless idiots!"

All they could do was curse and hurl insults at the four failed escapees. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If it were me, I might have already stormed to the gates of Impel Down.

Waste! All of them are waste!

Figo ignored them, locked up the four escaped prisoners, and felt a surge of joy as the prison files that popped into his mind resurfaced.

Prisoner: Duham

Rank: SR3

Status: Detained

Crime Index: 55

Participation rate in the arrest: 335

Gains: Observation Haki 6373539553 Level Mid-Rank Observation Haki

Character Event Rewards: Physique 63735131074 level monster

Sure enough, this works. Even if you deliberately let the prisoner escape and then recapture them, you can still get the reward for participating in the capture, and even the rewards for the characters and events can be made up!

But why is the supplement 35, instead of 50 like in Seven Giants?

To make the prisoners' escape more realistic, he even provided them with a piece of sea king meat.

What's missing?

Figo thought of Gerald, pulled him out of the sea, and gave him 35 as well.

Comparing the two to the giants, Figo gradually began to make some guesses. The giants had completely escaped from prison at that time, and if I didn't catch them, they could go wherever they wanted, so I made up for the missing half of the 50.

Although Gerald was able to commit suicide freely by jumping into the sea, he was only relatively free; he was still bound by chains and imprisoned.

The prisoners in Impel Down are the same; although they escaped by removing their chains, they are still inside Impel Down, this underwater prison.

They escaped, but not completely?

That means it can only be 35, Figo can't let them completely escape from Impel Down.

But it's okay.

If I let them escape a second time and then re-arrest them, could I make up for it the second time? If I could make up for it the second time, the participation rate would probably be around 17.5, right? And 8.75 the third time? If I keep doing this, I'll eventually be able to get everyone's capture participation rate to over 70!

Calculating the data in his mind, Figo glanced at the four severely injured people who had been locked up again, and temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​trying to release them again.

Let them go; they can't run anymore.

Then

He turned and glanced at the group of cursing prisoners, then chuckled and said, "You think you could escape if you were in my shoes? You idiots, if I gave you a key, you'd actually dare to try to break out?!"

clang!

He threw a key onto the ground in front of him!

“Keys to cells 17 through 20, come on, let’s play a game. I’ll wait for you trash to escape at the stairwell! Kill me, and you’ll be free! Dare to try!” Figo taunted.

The prisoners' commotion instantly ceased as they stared at Figo. Was this bastard serious?!

"Oh, right." Figo remembered, looked at the nun who was watching him expectantly in the distance, and praised her, "You were the only one who was sensible just now, you did a good job, here's your reward of not being allowed to eat for a week."

The nun paused, then asked, "?"

The prisoners burst into laughter in unison.

"Idiot! Do you think this devil will take care of you just because you're sensible?!"

"Hmph, serves you right!"

The nun really offended them.

The laughter continued until Figo disappeared from their sight, and the fifth floor fell silent again as they stared at the key on the ground.

"Hey, you four, why were you defeated by him so quickly?" one of the prisoners asked.

Mocking aside, they were all pirates of the same caliber. The fact that the four of them were defeated and sent back so quickly despite their combined efforts shows that if you still think that four people could easily take down Figo, then you don't deserve to be called a great pirate.

Duham, who was lying on the ground, opened his mouth.

At that moment, his feelings were complicated.

To be honest, there aren't many monsters in the New World who can cover their entire bodies with Armament Haki. Without weapons, no matter which four of us team up, we probably wouldn't be able to defeat Figo.

Figo guarded the only stairwell entrance, cutting off any possibility of us taking a detour, unless we went in the opposite direction and ran to the sixth-floor passage on the other side.

But without the key, you can't release the guys on the sixth floor, so what's the point of running over there?

Let the guys on the sixth floor see how badly Figo beat us! Let them laugh at us!

"We...we were just careless."

There's no way around it, I'm tired of thinking about it, let's just destroy it.

If we're going to die, we'll die together.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Making a Fuss Over Nothing

A few days later, a large ship from the World Government docked outside the Zero Platform of Impel Down.

Those who disembarked from the ship included Radu, the new deputy warden of Impel Down, and 20 new jailers who had previously served in the Red Line garrison.

Impel Down's power was enhanced, but the jailers who came to greet them were not so happy.

Previously, everyone was a member of the Navy and shared a strong sense of naval spirit. Will adding people from the World Government make things difficult? Will they cause trouble?

Among them, Jinqie, whose rank had been lowered again by one place, was the most affected. Ever since Deputy Director Radu disembarked from the ship, he had been glancing sideways at him.

With his thin frame, pale skin, and frail appearance, coupled with that fake smile, he seemed like a hypocrite.

"This must be Warden Kingcutt, right? Hello, I'm Rupp Radu. Nice to meet you, hahaha." After greeting Figo, Radu extended his hand to Kingcutt.

Kinkiri was taken aback: "...My lord?"

Radu smiled and said, "As instructed by the Five Elders, my position as deputy director is a nominal one. In Impel Down, Lord Figo will naturally be the head, and Lord Kingcutt will be the second. I will obey your orders."

Jinqie was taken aback, but his expression suddenly warmed up as he shook hands with him, saying, "Is that so? You're too kind. I'll take care of you in the future!"

This new deputy director seems nice; he has a very sincere and kind smile.

Figo witnessed Jinqie's transformation, and could only smile inwardly.

So this is the path the world government takes.

That's true. It's unlikely that the deputy director they sent would directly compete with him. In this world where strength reigns supreme, the World Government certainly has strong individuals capable of defeating Figo, but such people are definitely highly valued and wouldn't be casually sent to Impel Down. Besides, given Figo's growth momentum, how can you maintain a stable fighting force without sending an admiral?

If you can't control Figo, you can't just bully King Cutter. Figo will definitely take sides, and that will only make Impel Down a mess.

So they simply sent over a socialite.

Just as he expected, Radu's orders were to maintain good relations with everyone in Impel Down. He didn't need to seize power or fight for anything; he just needed to make sure no one in Impel Down disliked him.

He has two Den Den Mushi that can directly contact the Five Elders, Mendes and Spencer. He will give one to Figo and keep the other for himself!

The 20 jailers also received their orders.

They were in charge of 'snitching'.

All news and events in Impel Down that are worth reporting should be gathered and sent to Mendespin!

Greetings and smiles were exchanged along the way. Sure enough, everyone in Impel Down had a very good impression of Radu, and this new deputy warden smoothly integrated into the Impel Down system.

After settling into the deputy director's dormitory and changing into his uniform, he went to even more places to use his facial recognition.

The training area, the dining hall, the monitoring room...

"No, no, no need to stand up. Let me introduce myself. I'm the new deputy director, Ladu. Are you... playing cards?"

The four jailers looked at each other and replied yes.

"It's alright, it's alright, keep going, I was just looking around." Radu smiled, but secretly he made a mental note of Gaston Figo's inadequate management of the monitoring room.

However, these are all minor matters and not worth reporting to the Five Elders. As long as there is no serious incident like a prison break, then... then... then...

He glanced at the monitor screen and almost jumped up: "What's going on?!"

The old jailer turned his head and saw that the surveillance cameras on the fifth floor were capturing footage of prisoners unlocking their cells and walking out.
