Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

"I'm so sorry~"

Ian looked at Kizaru with a grin.

"Then I'll trouble Admiral Kizaru to stay here and keep watch. I'm going to rest now!"

Then, without waiting for Kizaru's response.

Ian walked confidently toward the Impel Down gates at the back.

Isn't it just a deep-sea prison?

This place feels like Ian's home; he knows it like the back of his hand.

Kizaru stood alone on the ground atop the sea, feeling a little uneasy.

"I am the great general... right?"

the other side.

Ian walked openly into Impel Down.

He encountered many prison guards and marines working along the way.

Unlike prison high-ranking officials like Magellan and Hannibal.

These ordinary jailers and marines were still somewhat afraid of Ian's arrival.

Although everyone knows that Ian was once the chief jailer of Impel Down and is relatively mild-mannered.

But no matter what, the other party almost wiped out the entire Infinite Hell, and is still the infamous Shichibukai.

"Big shots" like Magellan, Hannibal, and Sadie Jr. don't need to care about Ian's past.

These ordinary jailers and marines couldn't help but care about Ian's past and identity.

not to mention.

This "Shichibukai" just knocked out Vice-Commissioner Shiryu of the Rain with a single punch!

The jailers and marines did not treat Ian warmly; the phrase "keep their distance" would be the most apt description.

In comparison.

The group of blue gorillas who lined up and immediately lay down and stuck out their butts the moment they saw Ian were even more "enthusiastic" than the jailers.

However, Ian didn't pay much attention to the opinions of these ordinary prison guards.

He calmly walked past a large group of blue gorillas with their butts sticking out, strode towards the elevator lobby on the first floor above the sea, and then took the elevator directly to the director's office in the fourth floor of the scorching hell.

Ian accepted Sengoku's invitation to come to Impel Down to fight against the invasion of "Whitebeard Jr."

It was because the Warring States period agreed to one of his conditions!

It's now impossible for Whitebeard Jr. to continue invading Impel Down...

But Ian's "reward" must not be shortchanged by a single word!

"Magellan! I'm here—cough!"

As soon as Ian pushed open the door to the chief's office, he saw plumes of purple poisonous smoke floating in the air.

He subconsciously took a few steps back, while simultaneously activating his Observation Haki.

"Magellan! What are you doing? Are you planning to create a 'biohazard' in this scorching hell?"

A tall, imposing figure stepped out of the purple poisonous smoke and appeared in front of Ian.

It was Magellan.

"Ugh……"

As soon as Magellan saw Ian, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and another cloud of purple poison gas floated out of his mouth.

"I've truly failed in my duty as the warden of Impel Down..."

"Completely unable to protect Impel Down, and yet we still need your lawless and insane subordinate to come and provide support..."

"Ugh……"

In the end, Magellan couldn't help but sigh again.

obviously.

It was Magellan's constant sighing that caused the entire director's office to be filled with smoke.

“To correct you, I am no longer your ‘subordinate’, Warden of Impel Down.”

Ian held up his right hand and waved it in front of his nose to keep Magellan's poison gas away.

"Furthermore, since you feel so guilty, why don't you take some other remedial measures?"

"Staying in your office all the time and sighing, do you think you can protect Impel Down just by sighing?"

In Ian's opinion, Magellan still possesses considerable strength.

In the unique environment of Impel Down, Magellan can pose a threat that is no less than that of a Navy Admiral.

However, Magellan's "weakness" was far too fatal.

Because of the side effects of the [Poison-Poison Fruit], he has to spend a lot of time "detoxifying" every day.

This meant that Magellan could not unleash his full potential around the clock.

In the middle of a fight, I suddenly had a stomachache and felt like I needed to poop...

How is this played?

Are we supposed to become "Splatooners," spraying venom while we fight?

In Ian's view, the reason Magellan had this fatal flaw ultimately boils down to only one reason—

Magellan's understanding and mastery of the Venom-Venom Fruit is insufficient!

however.

What Ian thought of was completely different from what Magellan thought of.

"Ian, you've become quite sharp-tongued since I last saw you..."

Magellan removed one of the demonic horns from his head and held it in his hand as if it were a dagger.

"But you're right, I do need to make amends for the serious mistakes I've made..."

“I have already applied to the government and I will take full responsibility for this incident.”

"I will commit seppuku to atone for my sins once everything has settled down!"

Seppuku as an atonement?

Ian's lips twitched.

"Don't be ridiculous, Magellan. If you want to commit seppuku to atone for your sins, you might as well take poison and kill yourself!"

“Ian Adrian! You are absolutely wicked!”

Magellan sighed again and put the devil horns back on his head.

"Even Hannibal never intended to poison me!"

"...I came to Impel Down, not to play these office games with you, Magellan!"

Ian skipped the boring topics of "seppuku" and "poisoning" and went straight to the point.

"Marshal Sengoku must have told you, right? The 'conditions' for me coming to Impel Down to help!"

"As long as I am in Impel Down, I have the right to execute prisoners!"

That's right!

Execution of prisoners!

These are the "conditions" that Ian proposed to Sengoku!

The reason he came to Impel Down was simply because there were enough prisoners there, and they were strong enough.

Through these powerful prisoners, Ian can also hunt down enough high-level system chests!

"Don't exaggerate, Ian."

Magellan's smile faded, and he calmly looked at Ian.

"Your conditions have already been told to me by Marshal Zhan Guo: you do not have the right to arbitrarily execute criminals!"

"If you guard Impel Down for one day, Impel Down will allow you to execute one prisoner."

"What a petty and narrow-minded man!"

Ian pursed his lips, emphasizing it deliberately.

"They are prisoners of the infinite hell!"

"You're also very petty and calculating."

Magellan said in a deep voice.

"You want to go to Infinite Hell right now?"

"of course."

Ian answered crisply.

"Now that Admiral Kizaru is guarding the first level at sea, I have plenty of free time."

Upon hearing this, Magellan's expression became somewhat strange.

You left the admiral up there on guard duty while you came down to play?

Ah this...

"Let's go, I'll go to Infinite Hell with you."

Magellan led the way to the elevator shaft of the scorching hell.

"Your every move in Infinite Hell must be under the supervision of me or Admiral Kizaru!"

Not long ago, Sengoku relayed Ian's "conditions" to Magellan.

After some deliberation, Magellan finally agreed.

Not to mention that Ian had almost wiped out the entire Infinite Hell before.

The prisoners in the infinite hell, when locked up they waste air, and when dead they occupy land.

Magellan himself did not like the prisoners in the Infinite Hell.

However, this is due to the rules and regulations of the World Government.

As warden, Magellan could not easily take action against prisoners—even though he had the power to execute them!

Now the Admiral of the Navy has made a request.

Magellan readily agreed.

not to mention.

The threat posed by Whitebeard Jr. was plain and simple.

To exchange the lives of some insignificant prisoners for the safety of Impel Down...

This deal was worth it!

Magellan and Ian rode together in the elevator and arrived at Infinite Hell.

This was the first time Ian had arrived in Infinite Hell through "official channels".

It feels somewhat novel.

The sixth floor.

Magellan stood in the somewhat empty, infinite hell.

After being repeatedly tortured by Ian and the Golden Lion II, the prisoners imprisoned in the Infinite Hell were reduced to less than one hundred.

The remaining criminals in the Infinite Hell were completely unfamiliar with the novel duo of Magellan and Ian Adrian.

They knew the former, the warden of Impel Down.

They also knew the latter; he was the former warden who had almost overturned the entire Infinite Hell.
