Chapter 201

But he was instantly slain by Luo Xing's sword!

Luo Xing glanced calmly at Bandy Valdo's corpse, expressionless, as if he had killed nothing more than an insignificant ant.

He held Yan Mo like a demon king ruling over hell.

Luo Xing's cold voice said:

"Anyone else who refuses? Step forward."

173. The Lone Red and the Rebellious Barret, Totoro's Curiosity (Requesting Subscriptions)

In the Sixth Floor of Infinite Hell, the named strong ones include:

Red Count, Barret, Jinbei, Evil Government King, Moonlight Hunter Katrin Diemi, the massive warship San Juan Wolf, the giant barrel Basque Jote, and Bandy Valdo, whose body had been split in two.

These eight were the primary targets Luo Xing intended to subdue during his visit to Impel Down.

They were all infamous, notorious pirates whose reputations far predated Luo Xing's.

Therefore,

Luo Xing never expected these unruly villains to all submit.

Those unwilling to submit would die—Luo Xing had no patience for empty words.

Holding Yan Mo, his icy gaze swept over the remaining seven.

The profound Haoshoku pressure, combined with the royal aura radiating from within, made these utterly ruthless men tremble inwardly.

Even Red Count, who had initially dismissed Luo Xing, now finally opened his aged eyes in surprise.

Seeing Luo Xing's appearance and aura, Red Count was even more astonished.

"I misjudged him earlier—this young man is no ordinary one; he gives me the illusion of encountering Luo Jie or Bai Huzi in their prime."

Back then, Luo Jie and Bai Huzi were both young, in the zenith of their vigor.

Every gesture exuded overwhelming dominance, striking fear across the seas.

This young successor before him stirred in Red Count a faint memory of those days.

He no longer dared to underestimate Luo Xing; his expression turned solemn.

After Luo Xing spoke, no one responded.

But the expressions of Evil Government King, Moonlight Hunter, Giant Barrel, and Massive Warship clearly showed signs of willingness to submit.

Luo Xing had just slain Bandy Valdo with a single sword stroke, demonstrating superior strength.

No wonder the arrogant Rain Shiliu willingly became his subordinate.

And behind Luo Xing stood the Beasts Pirates, and their supreme being, Kaido.

From every perspective, submitting to Luo Xing brought no shame—only great benefits.

Luo Xing noticed the four men's hesitation, and felt no surprise.

After all, in the original story, these four had submitted to Blackbeard; now submitting to him, who possessed greater strength and power, was only natural.

Luo Xing's gaze passed over Jinbei—he had other plans for Jinbei.

Luo Xing turned to Red Count and Barret; both were top-tier powerhouses, each once a sovereign of the seas.

Especially Red Count—he had dared to challenge Luo Jie and Bai Huzi alone.

If possible, Luo Xing very much wanted to subdue these two, adding two elite combatants to the Beasts Pirates, giving him greater flexibility against the World Government in the future.

But figures of sovereign-sea caliber could not be subdued as easily as Evil Government King and the other four.

They were arrogant and proud; even under Luo Xing's death threat, they still sneered with defiance.

Red Count stroked his beard and said:

"Boy, you are indeed extraordinary. But to demand my submission? You are utterly ignorant of heaven's height and earth's depth. Even Luo Jie and Whitebeard had no such right!"

Red Count, the Lone Red, had never bowed to anyone in his life.

The man who dared challenge Luo Jie and Bai Huzi—how could he submit to a mere youth like Luo Xing?

Even if Luo Xing were one of the Five Emperors, or even the Pirate King himself, Red Count would remain aloof.

Barret's tone was far more vicious than Red Count's.

He slammed both hands onto the iron bars, causing the ground to tremble.

Barret stared at Luo Xing with bloodthirsty eyes and sneered:

"I believe only in my own strength!"

"Even when I was on Luo Jie's ship, I only sought to defeat him!"

"Kid, instead of some damn submission, I'd rather crush you—then crush Kaido!"

"What do I care for Five Emperors or Four Emperors? I am the strongest in this world!"

As expected, neither of the two top-tier powerhouses showed any intention to submit.

Barret, in fact, wanted to kill Luo Xing—and even Luo Xing's father-in-law, Kaido—to prove he was the strongest.

Luo Xing's dark eyes flashed with icy light.

"Then let the two of you join Bandy Valdo below!"

Barret threw back his head and laughed:

"Jie hahaha! Kid, do you think I'm that waste, Bandy?"

"In these decades in Impel Down, I've never stopped training! Now, I'm stronger than ever!"

"Besides, the fight above just shattered this prison—these walls can no longer hold me!"

Barret's laughter grew more insane, his bloodlust intensifying.

His massive, mountain-like arms swelled with muscle, and his overwhelming strength actually lifted the iron bars imprisoning him!

The chains binding him snapped effortlessly.

He had trained intensely within this prison—these chains were meaningless to him.

The main reason Barrett could not escape this place was the iron bars made of Sea-Prism Stone; as a Devil Fruit user, he could not break them.

However, just now, the Super Giant created by Luo Xing using the King of Biceps delivered a final strike that destroyed the foundation of the entire Impel Down, making the cages on the Sixth Floor unstable.

They could no longer restrain top-tier powerhouses like Barrett.

Of course, they could not restrain the Red Count either.

Besides, the Red Count has not yet eaten the Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Vampire Form, so he is not a Devil Fruit user and is not suppressed by Sea-Prism Stone.

The two top-tier powerhouses stepped out of their cages, each unleashing their Conqueror's Haki.

It clashed with Luo Xing's Conqueror's Haki, instantly forming a three-way standoff.

Buzz!!

Countless black lightning bolts flashed through the air.

The pressure, heavier than before, caused everyone present to momentarily stop breathing.

Jinbe, Akainu, and other imprisoned criminals felt their minds shaken.

A battle at a level higher than their own was about to erupt!

At the same time.

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Tsuru arrived here without stopping.

She first met her former superior, the former Fleet Admiral of the Navy, Sengoku.

Tsuru informed Sengoku that the Fifth Emperor, Luo Xing, had suddenly descended upon Impel Down through a strange door.

Sengoku, who was nearly a hundred years old, stood up in shock.

Though old, his mind was not muddled; he knew this matter was of great importance and that the entire Impel Down was at risk of being destroyed!

Without a word, Sengoku took Tsuru to the Room of Authority to meet the Five Elders.

The Five Elders immediately flew into a rage, slamming their hands on the table:

"How did that guy reach Impel Down?!"

"The Zhengyizhi Sect guards the seas, and eyes are posted in the sky; how did he manage to invade so easily?"

Tsuru said with deep concern:

"It was that strange door; it must be some kind of spatial channel that allows one to teleport directly from one place to another."

"My lords of the Five Elders, there is no time to worry about these things now; the immediate priority is to send reinforcements to Impel Down immediately, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The Five Elders were so furious their teeth nearly ground to dust.

That detestable Fifth Emperor, Luo Xing, would one day be torn to pieces!

The Five Elders suppressed their anger and said:
