One Piece: Get Stronger by Watching Battles

The temperature inside the elevator gradually rose, and Zhou Ze knew they should be almost there.

Sure enough, Domino said, "Because there is a huge boiling blood pool on the fourth floor, it will be a bit stuffy and hot. Don't worry, we'll be there soon."

Zhou Ze smiled and waved his hand, "It's alright, it's nothing!"

He possesses divine protection, and with his internal energy circulating, temperature changes are never a problem for him.

"bang"

The elevator made a muffled thud and finally came to a stop.

The gates reopened, and the three stepped out of the elevator. The guards outside immediately saluted.

"Is Warden Magellan inside?" Domino asked.

"Yes, the warden has been waiting for a long time!" the guard replied respectfully.

Once the three entered the warden's office, Zhou Ze quickly scanned the room. Apart from a few prison guards, there was no one else in the spacious office.

The large warden's desk was also empty. Hannibal walked straight over and sat in the warden's seat, resting his chin on his right hand, and lazily asked:

"Where is that guy, ah, I mean Warden Magellan?"

"That's the warden's seat. Please come down, Deputy Warden Hannibal!"

The guard saluted Hannibal and said expressionlessly.

Just then, a splashing sound came from the nearby restroom.

Zhou Ze: "..."

Instantly, the whole room felt filled with a certain smell!

Chapter 71 The Strongest in Impel Down! Magellan!

“Warlord Magellan suffers from diarrhea for 10 hours a day and spends time in the toilet. Excluding 8 hours of sleep, as well as meal and rest time, his daily working hours are about 4 hours.”

Domino, used to this, remained expressionless and explained to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze actually knew all this, so he wasn't surprised.

After a series of flushing sounds, the sound of footsteps echoed as the ordinary guards inside the room pulled out their gas masks.

Domino further explained, "Warden Magellan is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, meaning he has the Venom-Venom Fruit, so Major General Zhou Ze, please be extremely careful."

Zhou Ze smiled casually, "I know all that, it's okay."

"Thank you for your hard work, Warden!" the guard standing watch at the bathroom door shouted.

Then a tall figure emerged from the shadows.

It is enormous, and its appearance resembles a demon from a previous Western legend, with two horns on its head and wings on its back.

It was Magellan, the warden of Impel Down!

“Another fierce battle has taken place!” Magellan stroked his belly and slowly walked outside, then looked at Zhou Ze. “You must be Zhou Ze? I am Warden Magellan.”

Just as Zhou Ze was about to speak, Magellan suddenly raised his hand to shield his eyes. "Ah, it's so dazzling! How can this room be so bright? I want to be locked in an even darker room. If I could, I would also like to close my heart off."

Zhou Ze was speechless. Did this guy say this every time he met a new customer?

"Warden Magellan, this is Zhou Ze. I've been ordered to inspect Impel Down!"

Zhou Ze saluted. He had been watching Magellan ever since he appeared. This warden with the domineering Devil Fruit ability was comparable to an admiral in strength, except for his long working hours and some autistic symptoms.

Magellan looked down at Zhou Ze and suddenly sighed.

"I didn't expect the special envoy to be so young, unlike some of my subordinates who haven't made much progress in 20 years."

[Neurotoxin detected nearby, should we dispel it?]

The system's sudden notification startled Zhou Ze.

When I ask them questions, they don't respond at all. Is this a case of playing dead unless something happens?

"disperse"

As he silently recited the mantra, a fluctuation of internal energy emanated from Zhou Ze's body.

Soon, the pale purple poison gas exhaled by Magellan dimmed further, and a pure stream of air surrounded Zhou Ze, isolating him from the toxin.

"Magellan, you're talking about me, aren't you? You're definitely talking about me, when I become the warden... oh, I misspoke..."

Hannibal, sitting in the warden's seat, started making a ruckus again.

Zhou Ze ignored Hannibal, stared at Magellan, and smiled calmly.

"Warden Magellan, is this how you treat me on our first meeting? Are you trying to intimidate me?"

Magellan also ignored Hannibal; he exhaled that poisonous gas, indeed to test Zhou Ze's abilities.

Although he had been in Impel Down, Magellan knew that a supernova named Zhou Ze had emerged in the Navy, and he had heard all sorts of rumors about Zhou Ze.

Seeing that Zhou Ze had resisted his poison gas with ease, Magellan's expression became more serious. "Hannibal, Domino, you two go out first!"

Domino and the guards quickly left, but Hannibal lingered in the warden's seat for a long time before reluctantly leaving under Magellan's threatening gaze.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to Impel Down?"

Only after Zhou Ze and Magellan were left in the director's office did he look at Zhou Ze again and ask in a deep voice.

"Warden Magellan, don't be so serious. I'm here on orders to inspect the situation!"

Zhou Ze smiled and responded softly.

"Imperial City is not Marine Headquarters, Zhou Ze. Here, I'm in charge of everything. If you're still going to try to fob me off with these kinds of words, I think you can leave."

Magellan didn't believe Zhou Ze's nonsense at all. He walked to the desk, picked up a piece of paper, and asked, "Do you think this thing is useful here?"

As he spoke, to Zhou Ze's astonishment, he crumpled the order signed by Lieutenant General Zhang He into a ball, and venom seeped from his palm, instantly dissolving it.

"I have the authority to execute anyone in Impel Down, let alone a piece of paper!"

When Magellan uttered these words, his aura surged, and he exuded unparalleled dominance.

Zhou Ze's surprised gaze gradually subsided, and after a long while, he nodded solemnly, "I want to see someone."

"Ace?" Magellan murmured softly, then shook his head firmly and said seriously:

"No, Ace is a key figure right now. No one can see him without Fleet Admiral Sengoku's personal order!"

Zhou Ze knew this would be the outcome.

As a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Empress was only allowed to meet Ace after accepting the Navy Headquarters' summons. Now, with Vice Admiral Tsuru's order destroyed, Zhou Ze has lost all his support.

“No, I don’t want to see Ace.” Zhou Ze thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, “I want to see Crocodile.”

Magellan was taken aback, not expecting that Zhou Ze wanted to see this person.

Zhou Ze's idea was also very simple: directly asking to see Ace was almost impossible. After all, Crocodile was the only old acquaintance on the sixth floor.

Moreover, I remember that Crocodile and Ace were neighbors living across the street in prison, so seeing Crocodile was essentially the same as seeing Ace.

After a brief moment of surprise, Magellan asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to see him for?"

"In Alabasta, Crocodile attacked me several times without provocation. Now he is a prisoner and has been stripped of his title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, while I have been promoted to Rear Admiral. How can I not go and catch up with him?"

No sooner had Zhou Ze finished speaking than Magellan shouted.

"Zhou Ze, what do you think this place is?"

"I've said it before, in Impel Down, it's my right to execute criminals!"

Zhou Ze waved his hand, looking at the furious Magellan, "Don't get agitated. When I said 'reminiscing,' I meant exactly what I said. I didn't mean to start a fight!"

Even with Zhou Ze's explanation, Magellan still disagreed, saying, "The sixth level isn't something you can just go to whenever you want. I can't accept that reason."

Zhou Ze sighed. "Then tell me, what do you want in return for my request?"

Magellan stared at Zhou Ze for a long while, recalling the various rumors surrounding Zhou Ze, and what he had just witnessed—Zhou Ze's nonchalant response to his poison gas—before speaking in a deep voice:

"Let's have a contest. If you beat me, I'll make an exception for you."

Zhou Ze was stunned. Such a simple request! Why didn't you say so earlier? Damn it! Then he looked at Magellan with suspicion.

"that's it?"

"that's all!"

"Right here?"

"Right here!"

"Really nothing else...?"

"Are you going to fight or not?" Magellan slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"beat!"

Chapter 72 Zhou Ze VS Magellan (Third Update, Seeking Silver Tickets)

With the system by his side, Zhou Ze could dispel toxins, so he naturally had no fear of Magellan.

Magellan, as Impel Down's top fighter, shoulders the mission of suppressing countless evil forces, and is certainly confident enough to defeat Zhou Ze.

After a brief standoff, Magellan suddenly opened his mouth wide, spewing out purplish-black poison gas that quickly filled the entire room.

[Toxin detected approaching, should we disperse it?]

Zhou Ze naturally chose to dispel it. His internal energy surged wildly, and the approaching poison gas was immediately separated by his internal energy. The remaining toxins turned into venom and fell to the ground, making a hissing corrosive sound.

After this fight, your office will be ruined too, bro!

The continuous surge of internal energy eventually formed a vortex around Zhou Ze, repelling the approaching poison gas and protecting an area of ​​about one meter around him.

However, the pervasive poisonous gas also obstructed Zhou Ze's vision, preventing him from seeing Magellan's location.

Fortunately, Zhou Ze's internal energy was still automatically circulating his Observation Haki, so he could confirm that there was nothing unusual within a 5-meter radius around him.

Magellan was completely unaffected by the poisonous cloud. He could clearly see Zhou Ze's movements, and of course, he could also see the vortex that appeared next to Zhou Ze dispelling the poisonous cloud.

Magellan's gaze faltered slightly, his expression becoming much more serious, and he thought to himself:

"This young man named Zhou Ze is indeed extraordinary. The results of our previous probing were no coincidence."
