The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

The whale shark man first expressed his amazement in a deep voice, and then returned to the main topic.

"Ahem, Garp from the Navy said..."

The whale shark man coughed twice. "Luffy, I absolutely believe that after you learn about Ace, you will break into this great prison!!"

"When you hear these words, it means you have indeed successfully reached the sixth level. Hmm, truly worthy of being my grandson, hahahaha!"

The whale shark man, mimicking Garp's tone, quickly finished speaking, followed by two perfectly imitated laughs, and then continued:

"At the same time, I absolutely believe that with the help of your [Tool Master] first mate, if we let you all run wild, it's very possible that you could escape this place with Ace using those strange and wonderful tools!!"

"Therefore, I will not give you any chance. After discussing with the Navy, I have taken Ace away ahead of schedule!!"

"This is not child's play, nor is it something that you, a willful person, can control!"

The whale shark man's voice turned low again: "The moment you chose to set sail, you decided on the fate that might await you!"

"Ace's current situation is entirely his own fault!!"

"And if you also trespass into the sixth level of Impel Down and do such lawless things, then when we meet again, don't blame me for using my iron fists of love!!"

"Let's leave it at that, Luffy!!!"

These are all the words Garp left behind.

And in his last words, everyone could hear the slight despondency and heartache in Garp's voice.

Therefore, after the whale shark man finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.

Even Link had a slight realization.

No wonder Magellan wasn't worried or anxious at all after hearing that the surveillance cameras on the sixth floor had malfunctioned.

This place is where a key prisoner who will soon be at war with Whitebeard is being held. He should be checking for any unexpected situations immediately, but why is he so indifferent?!

Link had been a little confused at first, but now he understood everything.

The real Ace had already been transferred away by Garp and CP0 agents, and Magellan's mission of guarding him was complete.

There's absolutely no need for him to care!

"Was it because the previous items left a deep impression on Garp and the Navy that they had him transfer Ace away ahead of schedule...?"

Link hadn't expected that Garp and his team would pull such a drastic move, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As expected, man proposes, God disposes; the Monkey family's way of doing things always manages to be so unpredictable!

"That's it..."

After listening attentively to what the whale shark man had said without saying a word, Luffy suddenly clenched his fist.

"Stop joking!!"

He suddenly roared, "That old bastard!! How can things just end like this!?"

"Ace is going to be executed!!!"

"I absolutely must rescue Ace!!!"

He shouted again, his excitement demonstrating his unwavering determination!

"that……"

After Luffy's performance, the whale shark suddenly spoke again:

"Navy's Garp said that if you continue to show your determination to rescue them..."

He paused, then said, "Then go find somewhere cool to stay!"

"That's a war that someone of your size can't get involved in right now!!"

"If you blindly try to get involved in this incident to rescue Ace, the final result will likely be the same as Ace's."

"If I ever see you on the battlefield, I'll smash your head in with my iron fist of love!!"

"Finally... please tell your first mate that I've cultivated some very good pastries!!"

After saying that last sentence, the whale shark suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He looked up and met Luffy's angry, eye-rolling expression.

"What?! What's that arrogant old man thinking?!"

Luffy rolled up his sleeves and roared, "Why won't you let me go save Ace? Do you look down on me that much? Get your ass!"

[Bonus chapter delivered!!]

327 Shiryu of the Rain! You're a swordsman too? That young man is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user!!

"I'm different now than before. If I meet that old geezer again, it's hard to say who will win or lose!!"

"Is he trying to hit me on the head? Come on! I've gotten a lot stronger too!!"

He was still there, venting his anger and dissatisfaction.

I actually got tricked by that stinky old man!

"In other words, Ace has already been taken away ahead of schedule and should be at Marine Headquarters now."

Zoro, standing to the side, stroked his chin and said, "We missed them."

"If we really want to rescue Ace, we still have to go to the Marine Headquarters!"

Sanji also lit a cigarette for himself.

It wouldn't have been a problem if he hadn't lit a cigarette, but then the smell of smoke started wafting through the air...

Immediately, the pirates on the sixth underground level, who had been quietly observing and listening to the conversation, became restless once again.

"That's a cigarette, right? Give me one!!"

"I haven't tasted this flavor in so long!!"

"Give it to me, hurry up and let me try it!!!"

In an instant, as if hungry ghosts had been released from prison, these pirates, who had been suffocating, let out howls like wolves.

Its eyes were fixed on Sanji with a bright green gleam, making him quite uncomfortable.

"These guys..."

Sanji looked around with a somewhat unpleasant expression. "They're definitely different from the pirates on the two floors upstairs."

Both his speaking style and his personal conduct seem rather eccentric and mad.

Do you have any cigars?!

Amidst all these wailing and howling sounds...

A relatively normal, low voice slowly rang out from the cell next to it.

"Um?!"

Amidst so many abnormalities, it is a rare and precious thing to have a normal voice.

Sanji couldn't help but look over there.

What I saw was a single cell, in which a tall man wearing an airplane helmet was imprisoned.

What's strange is that the man wasn't wearing the standard black and white prison uniform.

instead……

"Is that the uniform of one of the 750 Impel Down jailers?!"

Sanji looked him up and down.

"To be precise, this is the uniform for the position of Warden of Impel Down."

Link glanced at the man and said.

"The warden of Impel Down?!"

Sanji took a drag on his cigarette. "Was he dressed like this on purpose?!"

"Do not……"

Link gazed at the tall, well-proportioned man with a typically broad chin, dressed in the standard black Impel Down uniform, with a white overcoat draped over his back, and said softly:

"He is actually the warden of Impel Down."

Sanji and the others: "???"

Under the astonished gazes of everyone~

Link smiled and said, "He is Shiryu of the Rain, who is as famous as Magellan and is one of the two wardens of Impel Down, the 'Iron Wall'."

This man is none other than Shiryu of the Rain, the warden of Impel Down!

"It really is the warden..."

The group looked at the man with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

"How did he end up locked up on this sixth floor?! And how was he imprisoned in the first place?!"

"It was Magellan who sent him in."

Link casually took out a cigar, flicked it into the cage, and explained:

"The reason is that he killed a large number of criminals."

"Kill criminals? Execute criminals?!"

Luo, who was standing nearby, also chimed in, "I remember that the officers in Impel Down should all have the power to execute prisoners, right?!"

"Hehehe, you're right~"

Shiliu chuckled softly there.

He took the cigar, but instead of lighting it immediately, he brought it to his nose and took a deep drag.

I closed my eyes and felt a little intoxicated by the experience.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes:

"All I did was execute a few more prisoners, and that bastard Magellan imprisoned me here!!"

His tone lowered slightly whenever Magellan was mentioned.

"Multiple executions? A few..."

Zoro, however, was scrutinizing him intently.

The murderous aura emanating from him was not something that could be formed simply by killing a few criminals!

And~

The moment he saw this man named Shiryu of the Rain, he felt a stirring within him.

Zoro found a sense of excitement in this man.

The blood in my whole body almost felt like it was about to boil.

"You, are you also a swordsman?!"

He suddenly spoke up and asked Shiryu.

"Ah, that's right."

Shiryu lit a cigar and put it in his mouth, looking at Zoro who had asked the question.

"A nice knife..."

His gaze first fell on the three swords at Zoro's waist.

His gaze swept lightly over Qiushui and Wado Ichimonji, and he nodded.

Then~

Shiryu glanced at Zoro, raised an eyebrow, and straightened up slightly, taking a few more looks at Zoro.

"They're a good match."

He chuckled softly and slowly withdrew his gaze.

However, a rather interested smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
