Chapter 264: Sent to Impel Down

After hanging up, Karl couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

What was meant to come had come; Blackbeard was too efficient.

However, this matter couldn't be told to Garp yet, otherwise who knew what kind of reckless thing he would do. Everything would wait until Karl escorted Ace to Impel Down.

After entrusting the collection of the delicious sea salt to a shop owner, Karl set off immediately. In any case, Water 7 wasn't that far from Banaro Island.

Half an hour later.

Banaro Island.

"Captain, there seems to be a bird in the sky, it's huge. Should we shoot it down?" Van Augur, who had the sharpest eyes, had already spotted the Raven, but since he didn't see Karl, he asked the question.

Teach's face changed, and he quickly said: "Don't! That's a Marine, and it's very likely that Marine Hero, Vice Admiral White Raven. That's not someone we can afford to provoke at our current stage."

That guy is a ruthless man!

"Caw!"

With a loud cry, the Raven slowly descended into the center of Banaro Island.

This place had basically become ruins; it looked Move Move Like Teach and Ace had had quite a lively fight.

Karl jumped off the Raven's back and looked calmly at the panting Blackbeard.

"Marshall D. Teach, is it?"

"Ze-hahaha, I didn't expect the Marine Hero to know my name. I am truly honored!"

Karl didn't respond to Blackbeard's nonsense and looked directly at Ace, who was tied up and whose life or death was unknown.

"You want to use Ace to exchange for a position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"That's right, Ace's head should be enough, right? This guy is the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, a great pirate with a bounty of over 500 million Berries!"

Karl nodded: "Whether it's enough isn't for me to decide, but it shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, there's a vacancy for the Seven Warlords of the Sea right now; it doesn't matter who takes it."

Blackbeard grinned, revealing his uneven teeth: "Ze-hahaha, that's great. To show my sincerity, you can take Ace away at any time."

"Here, this is the contact number for the World Government side. Call this number, and someone will talk to you. I'll take Ace away."

Teach struggled to sit up from the ground, dusted off his pants, picked up Ace, and handed him to Karl: "Please, go ahead."

"Raven!"

"Caw!"

The Raven extended a claw to grab Ace and hovered in the air, gently flapping its wings. After Karl jumped onto the Raven's back, it flew away.

After confirming Karl had left, Burgess complained: "That guy is too arrogant! He didn't put the Captain in his eyes at all!"

Laffitte said calmly: "Don't forget, he is the Marine Hero. Enel, with a bounty of nearly 5 billion Berries, fell into his hands. Why shouldn't he be arrogant? You know, Roger's bounty was only a little over 5 billion."

"You!"

Teach waved his hand: "Alright, enough of that. It seems our first step is almost complete. Now, let's wait quietly for good news from the World Government!"

Impel Down.

When Karl arrived, Magellan was already waiting at the entrance. It seemed he had received the news from Sengoku long ago.

"Vice Admiral Karl, long time no see. You really haven't changed at all!"

Karl smiled and infused Holy Light into Magellan's body. Magellan immediately showed a relaxed expression. He finally didn't have to hold in his diarrhea; in one word, refreshing!

Consequently, his gaze toward Karl became a bit more enthusiastic.

"This must be the famous Fire Fist Ace, right!"

Karl nodded: "That's right. Do you have Seastone handcuffs? Put them on him."

"Of course. Domino, take good care of this Fire Fist Ace."

Domino took out the Seastone handcuffs and gave Karl a sweet smile. It was so good to see Vice Admiral Karl again.

The prison was full of weirdos; looking at them was disgusting. It was much more pleasing to the eye to look at Vice Admiral Karl!

"Vice Admiral Karl, are you busy? If not, would you Move Move Like to visit Level 6, the Eternal Hell?"

He remembered that a few years ago, when Karl and Smoker came over, they gave him some small suggestions, and he had followed them earnestly.

"Sure!"

Level 6, Eternal Hell.

"Whoa, there are really a lot fewer people here!"

Magellan said with a chuckle: "Last time, Vice Admiral Karl said it would be better to execute those death-row prisoners without abilities. I went back and thought about it, and you were right. So, one after another, I executed the prisoners in Level 5 and Level 6 who didn't have abilities."

"Everyone who can still stay in the cells now is a Devil Fruit user."

"Hahaha, you really are good at taking advice!"

Magellan waved his hand: "Not at all, it was mainly because your suggestion was very pertinent."

After the two walked to a dark cell, Magellan turned to the jailer behind him: "This is it. Lock Fire Fist Ace in here!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Ace, who was in a coma, was sent into the cell, covered in Seastone chains.

*Bang~*

As the cell closed, Ace's fate began to change.

"Since the prisoner Ace has been delivered, I have to go back and report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku. By the way, Warden Magellan, this is a little token of my appreciation. Please, you must accept it."

Karl took a few Holy Healing Shells from his system space and handed them to Magellan.

"Hiss~ Is this the legendary Holy Healing Shell? The one worth tens of millions of Berries?"

Karl nodded: "That's right. But it's not worth much to me; after all, these are products of my ability. Please, Warden Magellan, you must accept them."

"This, this is too precious, Vice Admiral Karl. I can't take it!"

Karl insisted and shoved the Holy Healing Shells into Magellan's hands: "I'm not short on this money. With the Holy Healing Shells, Warden Magellan, you can have some peace of mind when I'm not around. Use them sparingly!"

"Ah! This..." Magellan hesitated immediately. After all, who wants to have a stomachache every day?

"Hahaha, I'm off! Warden Magellan!"

"Caw!"

The Raven flapped its wings, left Impel Down, and flew toward Water 7 to get the delicious sea salt first.

Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's office.

"Karl, you're just in time. That guy Garp is still in Water 7, right?"

Karl nodded: "I think so. He said he was determined to capture the Straw Hat crew."

Sengoku sneered: "It would be a miracle if he could capture them. Forget it, let's not talk about him. There are more pressing matters now."

"Fire Fist Ace has been safely delivered to Impel Down, right?"

Karl nodded: "That's right. I personally escorted him to Level 6. There are absolutely no problems."

"That's good. In that case, our plan can begin!" Sengoku stood up from his seat, showing an excited expression.

Although Karl knew what the plan was, he still had to play along.

"What plan?"

"The Whitebeard Termination Plan!"
