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

At the edge of the platform, Figo, who had jumped onto the platform after the octopus, was shirtless and wiping away water stains with a towel handed to him by a prison guard. Hearing this, he gave the guards an OK sign.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, almost five years have passed.

Figo was promoted again three years ago and became the deputy warden, a position he has held ever since.

Five years hadn't left too many marks on him; his face had only matured slightly, and his physique hadn't changed much.

The biggest change is in his height!

When he first transmigrated, he was alright. At 1.8 meters tall, he was considered quite tall in modern times, but in the world of One Piece, he was a bit short.

Now, with the growth of his physical strength, Figo seems to have entered a second growth spurt during the five years from age 21 to 26, and his height has increased rapidly.

He is now 2.5 meters tall!

Figo handed the wet towel to the jailer who was looking up at him, and took a sword from the jailer's hand. He said, "Get out of the way!"

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Several streaks of silver light flashed.

The giant sea monster was brutally dismembered!

The jailers skillfully lifted up sections of the sea monster, drained their blood, and performed a simple procedure.

"Figo, you're a bit late coming back this time." A voice rang out from the side as Caesar, who had been promoted to warden, stepped onto the sea platform.

"There's nothing I can do. Sea kings of the right size are getting harder and harder to find. I swam a long way before I encountered it this time," Figo explained helplessly.

Caesar was even more helpless than him: "No matter what, the Sea Kings are also a line of defense for Impel Down. If you keep giving them extra food every day, this line of defense will completely collapse!"

For the past two years, a sea king has appeared every day.

The sea monsters that had advanced fifty miles outside the city were almost extinct, and no new ones were willing to migrate there.

This is indeed Figo's fault.

He smiled sheepishly: "Anyway, there's only one month left. After I leave, the number of sea kings in the vicinity will gradually increase."

Nishizawa: "Are you sure you want to leave?"

Figo nodded: "Yeah, it's been almost six years in Impel Down, and I want to go out and see the world."

“Sigh…” Nishizawa sighed softly, “Who hasn’t served six years? I’ve also been thinking about transferring, but I’m still a bit short of being a vice warden. I can be the deputy warden, but I’m afraid I’m not qualified to be the warden. It would be best to transfer another vice admiral from the Navy Headquarters, but the vice admirals at headquarters all have their own tasks…”

Figo said, "We just need to apply for a transfer. As for Impel Down, the Fleet Admiral and the World Government should be able to make appropriate arrangements."

“I hope so.” Caesar nodded, then added, “But we still have a month left in our term, so let’s get the last bit of work done.”

Figo: "Hmm? A new mission?"

Xize nodded: "I just received a call from the Marshal. There has been some turmoil on the high seas recently. One of the dominant pirate forces on the sea, the Giant Warrior Pirates, is showing signs of disintegration because its two leaders, Red Oni Brogy and Blue Oni Dorry, have suddenly disappeared."

Broki the red ghost? Green Ghost Tori?

The two somewhat familiar names made Figo momentarily lose his senses—weren't these the two legendary giants, the strongest giants, that Luffy encountered in Little Garden in the East Blue not long after he set sail?

Six years later, Figo finally heard something related to the anime's plot!

Those two giants fought in Little Garden for a full hundred years... In other words, it's been a full hundred years since the One Piece storyline began?

'So, I was about 126 years old when Luffy set sail? That's a long time ago...'

Caesar continued, "Because of the disappearance of the two leaders, several powerful pirates have set their sights on the Giant Warrior Pirates' territory. The Marshal intends to get involved and find a way to dismantle the Giant Warrior Pirates, or at least capture a few giants!"

Therefore, we need to organize the jailers to widen and renovate some of the passageways in Impel Down, and add a few more cells on the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels to hold giants.

"Is that so? I understand."

……

Expand access routes and reform prisons.

More than twenty days passed in a flash. The modifications made to imprison the giant were all completed. The Marine Headquarters did not let Impel Down's efforts go to waste, and a giant pirate was sent over by an escort ship.

This giant wasn't strong enough to be imprisoned on the fourth level, but Impel Down was very accommodating, with both wardens Figo and Caesar welcoming him to the ship.

Not only that, but also Kinkiri, who had finally been promoted to chief jailer, the unnamed deputy chief jailer, and even three gang leaders were present, along with about half of the jailers.

The main reason is that there were no giant marines at that time, so the giant race was quite novel to everyone.

Soon, the giants arrived, and their first impression was naturally: How huge!

Its body structure and appearance are similar to those of ordinary humans, but it is a super-enlarged version!

There are many 'alien' characters in One Piece who are three or even four meters tall, but compared to giants, they are just children! Generally speaking, the larger the giant, the stronger henchman. This henchman among the giants is over eight meters tall!

Figo, who had grown to 2.5 meters tall, felt insignificant for the first time in a long time.

You have to lift your leg high to kick a giant's knee.

However, despite its large size, it is not strong.

The minions among the giants couldn't possibly be stronger than human powerhouses like Caesar and Figo, so they were relatively easy to deal with.

Baptism is out of the question; it's not a big deal.

The prison uniforms were prepared in advance.

Rinse him with boiling water and put the suit on.

The first giant prisoner in Impel Down was relatively easily imprisoned in the fourth level of the prison.

About half a minute later, the prison file in Figo's mind also automatically unfolded again, turning to a blank page, imprinted with an image of a giant, followed by text.

[Prisoner: Peter]

[Rank: R8]

[Status: Detained]

Crime Index: 17

[Participation rate in the arrest: 3%]

[Optional Benefits: Giant's Might (Rare), Great Axe, Shipwright]

Figo thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

The fisherman has the strength of a fisherman.

Capturing a giant naturally requires the giant's power!

The power of the fishman allows him to swim freely in the sea like a fishman. What effect would the power of the giant have?

Make Figo bigger?

Increase Figo's power?

Figo chooses: The Power of the Giants!

[Benefit: Giant's Strength (Rare) +14 → 14 (Level 1 Giant Cub)]

Just like with the power of the fishmen, after selecting the power of the giants, Figo immediately felt as if something had been added to his body...

No, it should be said that something is missing?

As if some kind of constraint had been released, Figo felt his body become lighter.

With his keen control over every muscle in his body, Figo could sense that his strength had increased slightly, though it was only a barely perceptible amount compared to his current physique.

The change should not lie in this.

Where does that feeling of lightness come from?

Has it broken free from the limitations of average height?

Figo didn't really want to grow into a giant.

"Giants, giants..."

Figo pondered for a moment. Besides size, what other differences exist between giants and ordinary humans?

As he pondered, his thoughts drifted back to the Red Oni and Blue Oni, who should already be battling in the Little Garden, and then to the plot of Luffy encountering two legendary giants at sea...

Huh?

At that time, the two giants who had fought for a full hundred years seemed to be in their prime.

Figo's mind jolted!

Giants have a lifespan of 350 years!

Could it be that……

The effect of Giant's Might is... +1 second?

Chapter Nine: The Last Two Years and Departure

The speculation that the power of giants might help him extend his lifespan left Figo deeply troubled.

What if I could live to be 350 years old?

Let alone now that he's 26, even if he guards Impel Down for 100 years, until Luffy sets sail at sea at 126, Figo will still be young and strong!

Of course, it's impossible to guard Impel Down for 100 years. Even if one were immortal, there's no need to waste one's prime years in Impel Down.

But if you really can live to 350, could you consider staying in Impel Down for another two years?

Having spent the last six years of his life in Impel Down, Figo is quite comfortable and used to living there. More importantly, there should be a lot more giant pirates being sent over soon, which he can pick up for free!

No, perhaps I could also participate directly in the dismantling of the Giant Warrior Pirates after leaving Impel Down, and personally capture the giants?

Figo previously chose comfort because he was weak and afraid of death. Now, he is finding it difficult to choose between comfort and adventure.

"Hmm, that's thinking too far ahead. Whether the power of giants can extend lifespan is still uncertain."

I struggled with this decision for a long time.

Figo chose to give up using his brain.

Because the cafeteria is open for lunch.

Speaking of the world of One Piece, it's truly a paradise for foodies. All sorts of bizarre and wonderful sea kings in the sea have one thing in common: their flesh is delicious.

Having different flavors of meat to eat every day of the year, and not having to worry about gaining weight, this must be paradise!
