Chapter 264: Slaughter at Impel Down

Two days passed in a flash, and Marine Headquarters welcomed the day of the Summit War.

Then, just as the war was about to begin, Blackbeard suddenly vanished without a trace. Marine Headquarters searched everywhere but found nothing; they only knew they had seized a warship, though no one knew where it was ultimately headed.

Sengoku already had a bad premonition in his heart, but with the arrow already on the string, nothing was more imminent than the war, so he could only suppress the restlessness in his heart and prepare to begin the battle.

Then came the news that Uchiha Feiyu had turned into a streak of blood-red light and disappeared...

Leaving aside Sengoku, who was jumping with rage there, Uchiha Feiyu had already arrived above the Impel Down prison, following the positioning of his own blood.

At this moment, the interior of Impel Down was in total chaos. Blackbeard had just entered Impel Down and immediately started causing trouble; before that, there had been a massive commotion caused by the Straw Hat boy, and subsequently, the Straw Hat boy had been taken to Newkama Land and mysteriously disappeared, turning everything into a complete mess.

Uchiha Feiyu in the sky chuckled, and his entire body instantly exploded into countless bats, swooping down toward the depths.

However, with Uchiha Feiyu's top-tier strength in the One Piece World, 200 times the effort was of no use. The One Piece World had a ceiling; Coby's ability could shorten the time to reach that ceiling, but once the ceiling was reached, it had no further effect.

The red meteor rising from Impel Down into the sky moved at a speed almost indistinguishable to the naked eye; in less than ten minutes, Uchiha Feiyu had returned to Marine Headquarters.

But Blackbeard's multi-Devil Fruit talent was a power that could break the ceiling, especially the Future Unborn Sutra that Uchiha Feiyu practiced, which could awaken and strengthen Devil Fruit powers to their limit in the shortest possible time.

Following waves of black air currents swirling back, Uchiha Feiyu finally selected his desired Devil Fruit. The energy of the Multiplier Fruit surged into his body, giving Uchiha Feiyu a strange sensation.

As a large number of blood-red bats flew in, these pitiful Pirates barely had time to react before they became sacrifices for the bats. Each bat, after piercing through a Pirate prisoner, drained all the blood from their body and simultaneously transformed into a dozen more blood-colored bats, leaving only a Dried Corpse on the ground.

Moreover, he had quite a reputation in Alabasta and the first half of the Grand Line. This faith was directed at him personally and could be distributed to the three Devil Fruits at will. Although the vast majority had already been absorbed by the Vampire Fruit, the remainder was enough to advance the development of the Multiplier Fruit to a certain degree.

Uchiha Feiyu scratched his head and said with a helpless expression:

"Sorry, Brother Sengoku, something suddenly came up that I needed to handle."

Black flames of energy spread out, and a moment later, screams rang out through Infinite Hell. Almost all the prisoners were slaughtered, and beyond that, various Devil Fruit abilities were extracted by Uchiha Feiyu and temporarily stored by him on various shells.

Stopping the use of his fruit abilities, Uchiha Feiyu then walked into the final level of Impel Down, which was Level 6, Infinite Hell.

Therefore, facing Uchiha Feiyu's Life Absorption, Magellan's Haki only offered a symbolic resistance before being completely ignored.

There was no helping it; those blood-red bats looked like ordinary bats, but in reality, they were composed of pure blood energy and possessed near-elemental properties, allowing them to ignore all physical attacks.

Anyway, once Uchiha Feiyu's Blood Scripture was perfected, he could separate and create new Blood God Children, and they could be split or merged; theoretically, he could even gather the power of all Devil Fruits, though it would just take some time.

At this moment, Uchiha Feiyu looked apologetic, and it was impossible for anyone to imagine that he had just completed a massacre in Impel Down, having even killed the Warden of Impel Down and a group of guards.

The talent belonging to Coby slowly faded away. Although the talent for accelerated training disappeared, the strength gained from the training did not, and at the same time, Uchiha Feiyu felt some strange changes occurring in his body.

In the short term, it would be difficult to develop the Multiplier Fruit to a very powerful degree, but once the news of this incident spread, he estimated that new Faith Power would arrive.

However, although this Devil Fruit could increase speed, volume, or energy, it did not increase the user's physique, strength, or Haki; otherwise, it wouldn't be called the Multiplier Fruit, but rather the Invincible Fruit.

And as long as these bats came into contact with someone's body, they could directly merge into it to manipulate the blood, instantly killing the opponent. Basically, without Armament Haki or some special Devil Fruit, encountering them meant certain death.

"What a pity, there was no Faith condensed on this Devil Fruit at all. Otherwise, I would really like to see how terrifying the ability would be if this Devil Fruit were developed to the Awakening level."

Uchiha Feiyu had no intention of saying anything more to him. The Sandai Kitetsu in his hand instantly slashed out a dozen chaotic blade beams, and with a scream, the pitiful Magellan was directly sliced into several pieces.

It could be said that, except for the group of prisoners hiding in the Level 5.5 Newkama Land, as well as Luffy and Buggy who were also hiding in Newkama Land, there was not a single living person left in Impel Down at this moment. If this matter were leaked, Uchiha Feiyu would have a bounty of at least over a billion on his head, and Sengoku and the Marines would likely move to take him down immediately.

Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit was powerful, but its side effects were also extreme; the toxins carried in his breath were enough to keep Magellan in a state of mild poisoning even while eating.

Subsequently, the tall Magellan quickly hunched over, his whole body seemingly shrinking; his originally strong flesh became wrinkled, and his full head of black hair turned into white strands.

However, a group of high-ranking Marines had all noticed that red light. As Uchiha Feiyu's figure was revealed, Sengoku immediately roared angrily:

This toxicity wouldn't kill him, but it kept Magellan in the bathroom suffering from diarrhea for the vast majority of the day. Subtracting the time for eating and sleeping, it could be said that this Venom-Venom Fruit user had no time at all to train his physique and Haki.

"I remember there should be a Multiplier Fruit on the sixth level of Impel Down. To be precise, it should be called the Multiplier Fruit; it can easily increase the size of objects or increase one's own speed..."

With Magellan dead, the remaining Impel Down guards went without saying; after a few moves, everyone became a blood bag for Uchiha Feiyu.

In addition, there was an unexpected surprise: Blackbeard and his party had already been directly taken down by Magellan's potent poison and were now rolling on the ground without any power to resist.

As the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit was absorbed by Uchiha Feiyu, the faith stored on this fruit was also completely integrated into the fruit by Uchiha Feiyu using the Future Unborn Sutra.

Now these people were all locked up in the prison, and as Devil Fruit users, they were also treated specially with Sea Prism Stone, which to Uchiha Feiyu meant they were fish on the chopping block; he didn't even need to spend any effort.

Darkness came from humanity's oldest fear. Although the Dark-Dark Fruit and darkness could not be completely equated, even just the similarity was enough to have a significant amount of human faith in darkness stored on this fruit.

A large amount of venom sprayed out, and the blood-colored bats simply melted upon contact. Even if they wanted to bypass it, facing the venom spraying like a tidal wave, the bats had nowhere to hide. Soon, those bats gave up attacking and instead condensed together, turning into a blood-colored storm.

Looking at Blackbeard, who was groaning on the ground, a smile appeared on the corner of Uchiha Feiyu's mouth. Under the condensation of massive blood energy, the Dharma Power in his body briefly transformed into Blood Scripture Dharma Power, and finally, he grabbed Blackbeard's head.

"Uchiha Feiyu, what the hell are you doing? Why aren't you at Marine Headquarters following orders!"

It couldn't compare to a Devil Fruit like the Vampire Fruit, which had a clear direction and a wide range of influence, but it was enough to push this Devil Fruit to the Awakening level.

So, pursuing the Multiplier Fruit for the time being wasn't a bad thing; it was just a matter of time sequencing.

Compared to the previous levels, the sixth level could be called completely empty. While the size and area remained unchanged, there were only about a hundred Pirates imprisoned in the entire Infinite Hell.

"Damn it... what is this ability..." Magellan said with great effort. The Vampire's Life Absorption did not affect his Venom-Venom Fruit ability, but the significant drop in physical strength naturally caused a decrease in the toxins he produced.

One became ten, ten became a hundred, a hundred became a thousand, a thousand became ten thousand... In just a few minutes, the entire first level of Impel Down was covered by overwhelming bats. With the ebb and flow of power, so many bats soon slaughtered every single prisoner and those messy jailers on the first level of Impel Down.

Besides that, many of Impel Down's guards had gathered here, preparing to block the Pirates from the sixth level, Infinite Hell. Ordinary guards had no power to resist against the bats, but Impel Down's ultimate weapon, the Warden and Venom-Venom Fruit user Magellan, was the most adept at dealing with such group attacks.

Afterward, a large number of bats rushed into the second level and began a new slaughter... the third level, the fourth level, and it wasn't until the fifth level that they truly encountered resistance.

"The power of the Multiplier Fruit... I've found it!"

"Multiplier Fruit—Hundredfold Speed!"

No matter how hard one tried, Coby's upper limit was just that of a Marine Admiral; having the strength of Zephyr or Garp was already the limit. Beyond this scope, it was no longer something that could be achieved through effort.

"Can I eat two more Devil Fruits? Hmm... let's start with this Dark-Dark Fruit!"

Stretching out his hand, endless darkness swept away, and the corpses on the ground all instantly turned into Dried Corpse bones.

The Dark-Dark Fruit and the Vampire Fruit clearly exerted an effect where 1+1 was greater than two. At this moment, with Uchiha Feiyu going all out, he was like a black hole; whether it was lifespan, Qi and Blood, or fruit abilities, as long as they were close to him, they would be continuously drained away.

On the first four levels of Impel Down, prisoners who understood Haki or possessed powerful Devil Fruit abilities were few and far between. It was basically a clean sweep until he entered the fifth level, where he finally began to encounter some Pirates with the power to resist.

A moment later, all the prisoners in Infinite Hell were slaughtered clean, and Uchiha Feiyu turned into a streak of blood-red light, disappearing without a trace almost instantly.

At this moment at Marine Headquarters, the Whitebeard Pirates' ship had just emerged from underwater. A red light descended from the sky and landed on the plaza. The Marines were full of vigilance, thinking this was some kind of super weapon created by the Whitebeard Pirates.

The storm slowly dissipated, revealing Uchiha Feiyu's figure. With the Summit War about to happen and every second counting, he had no heart for idle chatter. He directly covered his body with Haki, blood flames burned, and then he threw out a Vampire's Life Absorption move.

"But haven't I rushed here now? Since that's the case, let me take the lead in dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Just think about a physical arts monster like Garp; with his physique, strength, and Haki increased a hundredfold, he would simply be a human-shaped Ancient Weapon! Kaido, Roger, Charlotte Linlin—he could punch their heads off with a single blow!

Even if it could only increase speed and mass, the ability of this Devil Fruit was already quite perverted; Uchiha Feiyu pondered for a moment and decided to set his target on this Devil Fruit first.

In the Impel Down great prison, starting from the first level, the deeper one goes, the stronger the prisoners are, while those on the first level are basically just a bunch of small-time Pirates with mediocre strength and bounties of around 10 million Belly.

However, Uchiha Feiyu struck hard and fast, killing everyone in the entire Impel Down, not even leaving a single Den Den Mushi behind, so he did not worry about the matter being exposed in the short term.

The Yin Corpse Painted Skin Scripture was also activated at the same time; Coby's 200-fold effort talent had indeed allowed Uchiha Feiyu's strength to progress extremely quickly during this period, and he was able to unleash the potential within his altered physique so rapidly entirely thanks to this.

However, the Pirates who could be locked up in Infinite Hell had to have a bounty of at least several hundred million Belly; it could be said that even the weakest among them were at the level of main officers in a Four Emperors crew, so although the quantity was smaller, the quality was actually much higher.

As for the end of the Summit War... there was no need to wait for this war to end; Uchiha Feiyu would take action directly against the Marine halfway through the fight, and briefly keeping Sengoku in the dark would be enough.

At the end of the day, Uchiha Feiyu wanted to wipe out both sides, but he did not want to face the combined siege of the Whitebeard Pirates and Marine Headquarters directly, so he was still in the Marine camp for now.
