Chapter 6: Orochimaru vs Magellan

"A mere intruder, yet you dare act so brazenly before me!" Magellan's tone was grim, purple-black poison surging around him like magma churning in hell. "Who exactly are you? Why have you infiltrated Impel Down?"

Orochimaru retracted the smile on his face, golden pupils staring straight at Magellan, emanating a cold killing intent. "Who I am is not important," he said, enunciating each word, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority. "As for you, as the Warden of Impel Down, your methods of managing prisoners seem somewhat less than commendable."

Magellan watched Orochimaru coldly, slowly raising his right hand, a mass of purple-black poison gathering in his palm. "No matter who you are, trespassing into Impel Down is already a capital offense! I will personally interrogate the truth out of you!"

Orochimaru chuckled lightly, gaze calm as he looked at Magellan. "Hehe, interrogation? I'm afraid you won't have that chance." He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a trace of coldness.

Magellan flew into a rage, purple-black poison churning and roaring on his body like a living thing. "Big words! Do you think that with just you alone, you can oppose our entire Impel Down?"

"Hehe, who said I'm alone?" Orochimaru smiled mysteriously and spoke.

Just at this moment, a commotion suddenly came from the upper floors, mixed with the roars of Prison Guards and the clamor of prisoners. Immediately after, a piercing alarm resounded through the clouds, the entire prison seeming to boil.

"Bastard! What did you do!" Magellan's expression changed instantly; the prisoners confined in the Fifth Layer Prison rioting was no longer a simple matter that could be handled simply.

Orochimaru, however, appeared exceptionally calm, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly: "I merely released those poor worms you locked up. They want freedom too."

Orochimaru's words were like an iron nail, viciously driven into Magellan's heart. The latter's forehead veins bulged, his face turning iron-green.

"You deserve to die!" Magellan roared, purple-black poison converging into a thick long whip, carrying the weight of ten thousand jun as it lashed toward Orochimaru. "Even if I turn Impel Down upside down, I'll tear you, this fool who doesn't know death, into ten thousand pieces!"

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"

Watching the poison flying toward him, Orochimaru shouted low, and in an instant countless poison snakes poured down from his arms, rushing straight at Magellan's poison whip.

"Hiss!"

Snakes and poison whip collided rapidly in midair, countless White Snakes and poison splashing everywhere, and the moment the White Snakes hit the ground they turned into pools of black water.

Orochimaru retreated swiftly, pupils contracting sharply, gaze solemn as he stared at those ominous pools of black water on the ground. He realized the opponent's poison was far more terrifying than imagined.

"This guy's poison is more than ten times worse than Hanzo's! Absolutely cannot touch even a fraction of it!" Orochimaru swiftly formulated a battle plan in his heart.

"Heh, a Devil Fruit User, you think just with this you can act wildly before me?!" Magellan roared, suddenly waving his hand, several poison whips whistling past.

Facing this sudden fatal attack, Orochimaru didn't panic in the slightest. He rapidly formed Hand Seals, shouting low: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

As soon as the words fell, the ground suddenly trembled, countless mud and sand instantly gathering, condensing into a solid earth wall before Orochimaru.

"Bang!"

Magellan's poison whip heavily struck the earth wall, emitting a muffled sound, instantly poison splashing in all directions, corroding the earth wall into one large pit after another.

"This!" Magellan glared fiercely at Orochimaru, face gloomy to the extreme. "What Fruit User are you exactly, to actually be able to control the ground?"

Orochimaru didn't answer, instead rapidly forming Hand Seals with both hands, movements swift as flowing clouds and water. A trace of cold killing intent flashed in his golden eyes.

"Hundred Snakes Illusion!"

Magellan only felt his vision blur, his body instantly entangled by countless snakes, tightly binding his limbs and torso, unable to move.

"What is this?!" Magellan's pupils contracted sharply, he tried to break free but found the snakes tightening more and more, nearly crushing his bones.

Just in the moment Magellan was stunned, Orochimaru had already rapidly formed Hand Seals, movements swift as flowing clouds and water.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!" With Orochimaru's low shout, a stream of muddy water suddenly gushed from beneath Magellan's feet, converging like a mountain flood into a turbulent mudflow, sweeping straight toward Magellan.

Magellan's feet sank, the muddy water submerging his calves, trapping him firmly in place, the muddy water continuously rising, binding his body layer by layer.

"Bastard!" Just at this moment, Magellan fiercely gritted his teeth and then shouted loudly, violently opening his eyes and breaking the illusion. Orochimaru's brows slightly furrowed, he hadn't expected Magellan's Spiritual Power to be so strong, able to break free from the illusion in an instant purely by will.

But he didn't panic, instead immediately forming the next seal.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!" His fingers interlocked, he shouted loudly.

Rumble! The earth violently trembled, a massive dragon head bursting from the ground, opening its bloody mouth, roaring at Magellan.

Immediately after, countless huge mud and stone blocks whistled out from the dragon's mouth, dense as rain, striking toward all parts of Magellan's body.

Magellan's pupils tightened, watching the stone bullets whistling toward him, Magellan gritted his teeth, laboriously raising his arm in the mud's restraint, trying to block the imminent stone bullets.

Bang bang bang! Stone bullets fell like raindrops on Magellan, enveloping his whole person in smoke and dust. He let out a muffled groan, but it was quickly drowned out by more impact sounds.

The surrounding prisoners stared dumbfounded at this scene, shocked speechless. They never dreamed that the Magellan who struck terror in them would be in such a sorry state at this moment.

"Hahaha! Magellan's done for! We're getting out!" A prisoner with a maniacal face laughed wildly, eyes flashing with manic light.

The entire Cell instantly boiled, prisoners all howling like they'd gone mad.

"Kill Magellan! Kill him!"

"Let us out! Let us out!"

Manic roars rose and fell, echoing in every corner of the prison.

And at this moment Orochimaru didn't relax in the slightest, he stared tightly at the smoke and dust, expression stern. He knew well that relying on these attacks to completely defeat Magellan was impossible. That terrifying strength of the opponent's was by no means something ordinary Ninjutsu could shake.

Just at this moment, a squad of Prison Guards was attracted by the commotion. They held weapons, striding toward the Battlefield, attempting to aid Magellan.

Orochimaru caught sight of the Prison Guards approaching, a trace of fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Summoning Ninjutsu: Ten Thousand Snakes Net Formation!"

As soon as the words fell, an invisible tether linked from the Main God Space, forming a summoning passage between the two worlds.

Orochimaru suddenly lay prone on the ground, countless poison snakes gushing from his mouth, instantly turning into a waterfall composed of poison snakes.

The snake swarm frantically pounced on the Prison Guards, instantly engulfing them. Miserable screams rose and fell, mixed with the hissing breath of snake tongues, the sound of flesh being torn, composing a horrifying death symphony.

And among them one giant snake, headed straight for Magellan's direction. Its body was huge, entirely emerald green, eyes flashing with evil red light.

And just as it was about to rush into the smoke and dust, a figure actually protruded half its body from the snake's mouth.

It was precisely Orochimaru! He fiercely opened his mouth, actually spitting out a long sword from his throat.

"Shhla—" The blade broke through the air, sharp edge fully revealed, emitting a terrifying cold light.

This sword was precisely the legendary divine weapon of the Ninja World: Kusanagi Sword: Blade of the Sky!

"Go die!" Orochimaru screamed, voice hoarse and manic. Veins bulged on his face, all his body's power converged onto this one sword.

Only to see the blade actually extend in an instant, like a bolt of silver lightning, heading straight for Magellan's direction in the smoke.

However, just at the instant the blade was about to pierce Magellan.

"What?!"

Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply, feeling the blade in his hand actually stuck fast as if mired in a swamp, unable to advance an inch, clearly not having pierced any entity! (Chapter End)
