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

"Because as long as I'm in power, even if I gain something from fighting for one thing, or help one or a few people, all that perseverance is worthwhile. This is my justice. What about you, Figo?"

Figo shook his head and did not answer.

Having grown up in the world of pirates, Fleet Admiral Oku would not understand Figo's thoughts. The World Government is supreme, and the Five Elders hold the highest positions. This is something ingrained in their very bones, so Oku only dares to fight, not to rebel.

Figo, a time traveler, lacked this sense of awe. Why didn't he resist when he saw something wrong?

Having roughly discerned Figo's thoughts, the O's family felt both worried and wistful: "No wonder you could do what I could never do. You have more perseverance and courage than I imagined. I only hope that you can firmly uphold your sense of justice, and at least not use your power to do evil, Figo!"

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

"But it's not that bad." After a pause, Oga continued, "CP0 is only good at behind-enemy-lines operations and intelligence gathering. They can't do anything about the now-powerful Sapphire. Even if they eventually find out the Revolutionary Army's location, they'll need the Navy to plan their operation. I'll inform you of the specifics then, and the decision on how to proceed will be up to you!"

This should be my last stand against the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons during my tenure as Marshal, and I still need you to carry it out!

You won't let me down, you'll handle everything, right, Figo?

"Don't worry, I will." Figo paused for a moment and then smiled. "Then I'll wait for your news."

The old man from the Ao family smiled, his face crinkling with wrinkles: "Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

……

The O's family picked up Doug and Raul.

Jin Qie, puzzled as to why the chief's position had slipped away again, announced the end of the incident from the monitoring room.

The jailers cheered and celebrated for the great Warden Figo, and Impel Down gradually returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. But Figo knew this was just a halftime break!

After eating a ton of food in the canteen, he went straight down the guards' passage to the sixth level of Impel Down.

Because Raul had previously crashed into the outer wall of the sixth floor, the tremors there were the greatest. The villains on the sixth floor were unaware of what had happened and even thought someone had come to break them out of prison.

Upon seeing Figo appear, they were all extremely disappointed. Someone shouted, "Which guy came to attack Impel Down? Why isn't Gerald Laugh back? You bastard, did someone rescue Gerald?"

"No, I had a bit of a conflict with the World Government before, and I even got into a fight with a Marine Admiral, but everything's fine now," Figo said with a smile. "Thank you all for your concern."

Huh? The pirates on the sixth floor were all stunned, and soon someone burst into laughter.

"Director Figo, I've long seen that you're not one to follow the rules! How about defecting? I'm willing to follow you!"

The other villains had an idea.

"Yes, if you defect, I can follow you..."

"Me too! Me too!"

"Hahahaha, if you become the captain of the pirate crew and we all set sail with you, we will instantly become the strongest pirate crew in history! Gaston Figo!"

"Haha, that's really great!"

"Come on, Chief Figo!"

Figo held up one finger.

"I need ten people."

The thugs paused for a moment, then erupted in a clamor: "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

"I used to be a navigator!"

"I used to be a boatman!"

"I'm a sniper! Hahaha, I'm getting fired up, Captain Figo!"

"What captain?" Figo chuckled. "I mean, I didn't get enough of fighting the admiral. This time, I'm going to take on ten."

As if a mute button had been pressed, the cacophony of sounds abruptly ceased. The pirates' expressions froze, and they exchanged bewildered glances.

"Who wants to come?"

The pirates exchanged knowing glances.

'You've come?'

"Why don't you do it?"

'My injury hasn't healed yet, you should come.'

Figo chuckled softly.

Some of them, however, were still quite aggressive. Hearing the low laugh, a few of them were enraged and roared, "Don't be so arrogant! I'll handle this!"

Figo looked around: "Five short."

No one spoke up again. After seven years, even when they were asked to escape, they refused. Figo could only throw the key in front of the five-man cell that responded.

"Then it'll be the five of you this time."

The five men were dumbfounded. You...you bastards...cowards...despicable!

"Hurry up."

Figo's voice sounded like a death knell.

Anger and shock crossed the faces of the five men.

No, don't come any closer!

Chapter Forty: The Demon-Slaying Order

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

Figo had spent most of his sixteenth year in Impel Down, and life seemed to have returned to normal since that conflict.

Every day, he hunts down prisoners and captures sea monsters of different tastes, using his ever-growing physique to continue developing and perfecting his Life Return system.

The five elders, Mendes and Spencer, stopped having long phone conversations with him. Instead, Figo and Marshal O'Hara resumed their frequent contact.

Information about the Revolutionary Army's current situation and the progress of the World Government's investigation were all communicated to Figo by the Oug family. For more than half a year, the Revolutionary Army did not take any action, but Sapphire made two moves.

They attacked the slave ship again.

On another occasion, he seized an opportunity to sink a large ship carrying Celestial Dragons and kill a Celestial Dragon father and daughter! Unlike Figo's midnight attack, which was known to few, Sapphire acted during the day, with eyewitnesses, causing the entire pirate world to be in uproar and shocked!

The enraged World Government dispatched additional personnel in a frantic search for her, and Figo knew she was close to being found. Sure enough, not long after, Figo heard this news through a Den Den Mushi.

"The Revolutionary Army headquarters was located a few days ago. The Five Elders bypassed me and ordered the Navy Headquarters to launch the Buster Order. The fleet has already set sail."

"Figo, if you still decide to go, there's a warship waiting for you fifty miles southwest of Impel Down. We'll keep in touch on the way!"

"Okay, I'm coming right now!" Figo hung up the Den Den Mushi and took off his chief's cloak.

He went to the training area and found King Cutter, saying, "Old King, I'm going out for a bit. Keep an eye on Impel Down."

"Going to catch sea kings again?"

“Let’s just say it’s to delay Radu’s discovery that I haven’t returned,” Figo said.

"Oh... huh?"

Watching Figo's departing figure, Jinqie blankly threw away the stone block, almost hitting his foot in the process.

'Am I going to be the director?'

……

Swimming fifty miles was a piece of cake for Figo. He left Impel Down with ease and within minutes saw the warship that Marshal Auer had mentioned was waiting for him.

He was familiar with the warship; he had boarded it before.

"Sister Mia, it's been a long time." Figo greeted the still dashing female lieutenant general as he ascended the mountain again using the Moonwalk technique.

"They came so quickly." Mia handed a handkerchief to Figo and shouted, "Set sail!"

The warships started moving and sailed into the distance. After Figo wiped the water off his face, Mia said, "The Revolutionary Army headquarters is located on a nameless island in the New World that was originally uninhabited. The World Government named it Witch Island. The ten warships of the Buster Call are all the best giant warships of the Marine Headquarters. They are very fast and set off before us. We need to travel at full speed from now on."

The Buster Call is one of the most powerful military operations by the Navy Headquarters, possessing the offensive capability to wipe an island off the map!

The Buster Call will deploy ten of the finest giant warships, accompanied by five vice admirals, dozens of rear admirals, and thousands of elite marines. They will use the overwhelming firepower of the warships to indiscriminately and devastate the target location, and then use their superior numbers to slaughter the survivors!

To exterminate the target!

Only the Fleet Admiral and the three Admirals can launch a Buster Call. Of course, the Five Elders, who hold even higher authority, can also do so.

Figo wasn't too surprised by the call to arms against the Revolutionary Army, but he was surprised by another piece of news he heard from Mia.

"Is Mr. Doug leading the team?"

Mia shook her head: "General Raul was originally supposed to lead the team, but the teacher who knew the news went to the marshal and took over the command."

Given that the Sapphire can fly, it would be more reasonable to send Raul over there, and the World Government shouldn't have agreed to let Doug lead the team.

Figo considered it for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

"What is this stubborn old man trying to do?"

Mia smiled slightly at his tone, but quickly suppressed her laughter and handed Figo a Den Den Mushi.

"For more information, contact Marshal Figo. Compared to your teacher, are you sure you won't face any problems by openly disobeying the Five Elders' orders this time? What do you plan to do afterward?"

Figo said, "Then we can only hope that the Five Elders will give me face this time, otherwise, Sister Mia, the next thing you'll see is my wanted poster. Don't arrest me, hahaha."

Mia paused for a moment, then said, "If we hadn't run into each other that day, if I hadn't asked you to go to the teacher's house with me, if I hadn't told you about that..."

“Same here. At most, I’ll hear the stories of emeralds and amethysts later. It’s just that I like to meddle in other people’s business,” Figo laughed.

Mia paused for a moment, then smiled: "You really are completely different from when you were in the elite class. You actually look quite handsome like this."

……

On the other side, ten giant warships were sailing along a calm sea route. The steel behemoths were lined up side by side with a long distance between them, and their heavy gun barrels extended from the sides of the ships, creating an oppressive aura.

On one of the warships in the middle, 79-year-old Lieutenant General Doug stood at the bow with his arms crossed, gazing at the distant horizon, his posture upright.

Although he managed to secure the leadership of this Buster Call, the golden Den Den Mushi that officially initiated the Buster Call was not in his possession.

He glanced sideways at the silver-haired youth on the adjacent ship who was holding a golden Den Den Mushi, a member of C0.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) started broadcasting its announcement.

"Attention all warships, we are about to leave the Calm Belt and enter the New World. We may encounter pirate crews from the New World at any time."

To prevent the Revolutionary Army and the witch from getting wind of our plans and relocating prematurely, once we encounter the pirate crew and are within a suitable distance, the warships can open fire on their own, leaving no survivors! I repeat, there's no need for boarding action; just unleash a barrage of artillery fire!

Doug withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the distant sea, his expression becoming slightly more somber.
