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

It's been delayed until today.

CP0 has discovered the approximate location of the Revolutionary Army from the Hell Pirates. Of course, 'inevitably,' this will also let The Black Bruce know some of the movements of the World Government and the Navy, and given The Black Bruce's personality, he will definitely take action!

Send the marines to their deaths?

No, it's not.

Mendesbin Saint had long guessed and knew about the connections between the Au family and Figo. Figo would definitely appear in the army that was fighting against the Revolutionary Army... whether he agreed or not!

With the Buster Call lineup, they are not without a fighting chance against the Hell Pirates, although both sides would suffer heavy casualties.

A war that eliminated some pirates and killed a group of disobedient marines would have been even more perfect if the disobedient Figo had been defeated by the man of hell, The Blues.

It's not just about maintaining one's own authority.

Over the past six months, the more Mendes-Binstein learned, the more serious the situation seemed.

Figo alone is nothing; no matter how strong an individual is, he cannot truly affect the World Government's rule. But if Doug, who is influenced by Figo, is added to the mix, it will create some big trouble.

Doug's position in the Navy is too special.

He was the mentor of countless people who pioneered and organized the Six Styles of Naval Warfare, and his inspiring achievements have also encouraged many young marines who were feeling lost.

If such a team were to have a leader like Figo who could raise his arm and make a move, it would pose a huge threat to the World Government's control over the Navy!

Therefore, it's best if a group of them die in battle.

Thinking about all this, the Den Den Mushi he had put down started ringing again.

"Lord Five Elders! Lord Five Elders! Something terrible has happened! Figo, Figo has disappeared!" A panicked and anxious voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

As expected. Mendespen gave a soft hum and said to the Den Den Mushi, "The last time I saw him was yesterday morning, right?"

"Huh? You...you know?"

"Yes, I already know. You just found out?" Mendespin's eyes narrowed.

Ladu's in trouble again!

……

On the other side, the revolutionary army's large ship had been forced back to shore by ten warships, and one by one, the revolutionary army members were chained and escorted onto the warships.

"Holy Maiden! Why is this happening?!"

"Did you betray the Revolutionary Army?!"

There was resistance, but those who resisted were easily defeated by Figo. The only thing the Revolutionary Army could use to withstand Figo was actually helping him subdue those who resisted.

Betrayal? That's an interesting question.

Figo couldn't help but laugh. Gradually, all that remained in front of him was a group of children and the four Revolutionary Army members chosen by Sapphire, whose expressions were complicated.

The prison files yielded a bumper harvest, with over a hundred blank pages turned. The participation rate in arrests was mostly between 60% and 80%. There were four people with a crime index below 3, about twenty with an index between 4 and 10, and all the others were above 10.

The highest score was as high as 80 points; I wonder what their previous status was.

However, since four people were released, and there were still four innocent people in the Revolutionary Army, Figo believed that it was not a problem to release the four people chosen by the Sapphire.

He gestured for Sapphire to give some final instructions to the four men and the children, but Sapphire suddenly asked him with a surprised expression, "Besides you, did the Marine Headquarters also send an admiral... and a ship full of elite troops?"

"Huh?" Figo was taken aback, then quickly realized what was happening and looked out towards the horizon.

A massive, jet-black ship, even larger than a giant warship, slowly rose from the horizon. A dog-faced skull hung high atop its mast! A pirate ship!

"That is……"

"Could it be?!"

More naval officers spotted the pirate ship and were shocked. The next moment, they all shouted, "All personnel, prepare for battle!"

"That's... the symbol of one of the two poles of the New World, the Hell Pirates!"

"How did they get here?!"

The Hell Pirates? Doug clenched his fists tightly. Suddenly, his Den Den Mushi rang, and the voice of Fleet Admiral Oku came through the connection: "Doug, be careful..."

"I've seen him!" With a low growl, Lieutenant General Doug hung up on the Den Den Mushi!

On a distant pirate ship, a figure over six meters tall and extremely muscular appeared at the very front of the deck. His loud laughter echoed across the sea, bringing an oppressive aura. He unleashed his Conqueror's Haki without restraint!

"What a grand display, Marines! We were delayed by some minor troubles. Has the Blind Witch been captured? Hahaha, how about exchanging hostages? I really like the Blind Witch's personality. Join my pirate crew!"

Exchanging hostages? Figo's expression turned solemn.

"That's... Lieutenant General Mia?!"

Chapter 44 Figo's Conqueror's Haki

As the Hell Pirates' ship drew closer, more and more people could see that not far behind The Black Bruce, Mia, bound by Seastone chains, was lying unconscious on the ship's roof.

Besides her, several other naval officers and lieutenants were in the same situation.

Most likely, it was an unfortunate encounter during the voyage. Even though Mia was a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters, she didn't have much room to resist the Hell Pirates. She couldn't even escape...

Including Doug, the five lieutenant generals and Figo all boarded the bow of a warship. As they watched this scene from afar, Doug clenched his fists even tighter, and his body trembled slightly.

"Xiaoya, you wretched girl..."

Having activated the Doug character event, Figo knew about the hatred between Doug and the Hell Pirates. He remained calm and observed the situation on the opposite ship.

"It's not just that guy The Bruce."

The other four vice admirals also revealed the intelligence they had observed: "Almost all the officers of the Hell Pirates are on the ship!"

"Both first mates, Aaron Jackson, the Hellspear with a bounty of 780 million, and Tony Toa, the Hellshield with a bounty of 735 million, are on board!"

"The Four Beasts of the Underworld are also here, all of them are notorious pirates with bounties exceeding four hundred million..."

"besides……"

"Has everyone been mobilized?"

No one who can reach the rank of vice admiral is stupid. Just by looking at this formation, they can tell that the news of the Buster Call was leaked at the very beginning, otherwise the Hell Pirates would not have come out in full force!

As for who leaked it, they didn't want to think about it too deeply; they would have to go back and investigate further.

Exchanging prisoners, without fighting?

Those who believe pirate stories don't live long!

The Hell Pirates have mobilized their entire force and made a full-scale appearance. Will they only save one blind witch and then leave?

It is obvious that this is a war!

On one side is a Buster Call-level elite naval force, and on the other side is the Hell Pirates, one of the two strongest pirate crews in the New World!

The four vice admirals looked at Figo. The ordinary marine officers and sergeants did not recognize Figo, but as vice admirals, they naturally knew him and knew that Figo had defeated Admiral Raul.

Whether this war can be fought, and how it should be fought, depends on whether Figo has the power to fight against Hellman The Bruce!

“Professor Doug, calm down,” Figo said. “Let’s try exchanging prisoners first.”

Doug took a deep breath: "I'm entrusting Xiaoya's safety to you, Figo."

Figo nodded and shouted, "Hell Pirates, we agree! Prisoner exchange!"

On the other ship, Jerbrus tilted his head slightly and asked his oddly-looking subordinates behind him, "Who is that guy?"

As the pinnacle of the pirate world, he knew and had even met all the admirals, the three admirals, and the 16 vice admirals in the Navy who could be considered his rivals, but Figo was a completely unfamiliar face.

His subordinates looked at each other, none of them recognizing Figo. Some speculated, "Are those two old guys among the admirals also retiring? Are they admiral candidates, the ones about to be promoted?"

"Who cares who they are? Our boss is leading the whole crew. Without the three admirals all here, it's useless no matter who they are!" A pirate chuckled.

"Boss, are we really going to exchange prisoners?"

Rebrus gently hooked his oddly shaped gray nose with his finger, grinned, and said, "Jackson, go and bring the Blind Witch back with this female admiral. Don't hurt her; she'll become our third first mate."

Behind him, a gray-haired man with a chiseled face replied in a deep voice, "Yes, boss!"

The pirates understood and chuckled: "First mate, this vice admiral is quite pretty. Be gentle, okay? Hahahaha..."

Jackson did not respond.

Soon, a small boat was lowered from the Hell Pirates' large ship. Several captured marines, including Mia, were all placed on the small boat. Jackson, with only two apprentice crew members from the pirate crew, rowed forward.

In contrast, Figo also boarded a small lifeboat, took Sapphire with him, and personally rowed to meet them... The moment the Hell Pirates appeared and proposed exchanging prisoners, Figo quickly put Sapphire in seastone handcuffs.

The two small boats separated from each other and gradually drew closer. Countless eyes followed them from both boats. Although Mia, the beauty of the navy, was 37 years old, her appearance had not changed much, and she had many admirers. Countless marines were angry and nervous because of her.

All members of the revolutionary army, whether captured or not, were kept under close surveillance to prevent any unforeseen events.

The cannons of ten warships, capable of annihilating an island, were already aimed at the pirate ship opposite. As soon as there was any unusual movement, the cannons capable of destroying an island would be fired simultaneously!

Jerbrus stood with his arms crossed at the bow, ignoring the cannons and keeping his eyes fixed on Figo. Suddenly, he said, "That guy doesn't feel right to me, Tony, get ready."

"No way, boss, the first mate can't possibly be his match?"

"Could he really be the next general?"

"Where did this guy I've never seen before come from? Is he an ability user?"

"He looks like a swordsman..."

The second mate, Tony Toya, was a large, fat man whose length and width were almost equal. Hearing this, he said, "I also think something's not right, boss. Look at the blind witch, she shouldn't be an easy opponent, but I can't see any injuries on her body, so how did she get captured?"

The Blues shifted his gaze, and with a slight flick of his fingers, a faint flame appeared at his fingertips. Tony Toya immediately understood and took a step closer to him, while the other pirates fell silent.

In the middle of the sea, the distance between the two small boats was less than a hundred meters. Figo slowed down his rowing pace slightly as he calculated the time and speed in his mind.

Suddenly, Jackson, the vice-captain of the Hell Pirates, said, "Hey, you've never seen this before, who are you? And the Blind Witch, we're here to rescue you, why haven't you said a word yet?"

Figo did not answer.

Sapphire weakly replied, "He is Gaston Figo, the warden of Impel Down. I don't need your help. I will not become a pirate."

“Tch.” Jackson scoffed. “You, the guy who got arrested, actually think your bounty of over $12 billion, which exceeds the boss’s, is real? Impel Down Warden, Gaston Figg…”

He thought for two seconds and said, "I've heard of you. Wasn't it you who captured that Worrying Demon Gerdchak a few years ago? Although that guy wasn't very strong, his abilities were quite troublesome and hard to guard against. It's not bad that you were able to capture him."

He glanced at the knife at Figo's waist, a look of eager anticipation on his face, and said, "Are you a swordsman? What a coincidence, me too. I love sparring with swordsmen, shall we have a match?"

As they spoke, the two small boats were within fifty meters of each other. Figo glanced at him and asked, "Really? Where's your sword?"

As he finished speaking, the muscles in his legs, which were sitting cross-legged, tensed slightly, ready to strike. But Jackson suddenly grinned maliciously, grabbed Mia by the neck, and hurled her at Figo!

Mia was thrown through the air like a cannonball, and a look of pain flashed across her face beneath her disheveled hair.
