Chapter 247: Flooded Impel Down

As everyone knows, Impel Down, the world's number one prison, is also known as the Impel Down Undersea Great Prison.

The prison as a whole is a tower-shaped underwater structure.

If one wishes to escape from Level Six, besides the normal route of going all the way up to the exit, one can also break through the prison structure to escape from the sea.

Hearing Saint Saint Saiwen's good idea, the Red Count inexplicably felt his old face was somewhat hard to bear.

"Compared to the escape of the Golden Lion back then, our escape this time is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory."

The Golden Lion fought his way out, while they had only just reached Level Five when the Five Elders descended via the teleportation array.

Saint Saint Saiwen explained with a smile.

"Precisely because Senior Shi Ji succeeded in escaping, Impel Down's defenses have become stricter than before, and the World Government is determined to get you."

"Otherwise, the Five Elders would not have mobilized."

"Let's go." Saint Saint Saiwen called out: "We first find the boundary of Level Five."

How do people quickly draw closer to one another?

A faster way than going to school together, fighting together, or prostituting together is none other than: escaping prison together.

Just like Saint Saint Saiwen and the Red Count at this very moment, in a sense, they barely count as friends.

While the two were searching for the boundary of Impel Down's Level Five, the Five Elders had already descended to Impel Down via the teleportation array.

"What is the situation inside right now?"

"The two suspects should be nearing Level Four."

Saint Saturn waved his hand, taking over control: "Surround all the sea areas near Impel Down, and order all the guards of the lower levels to assemble."

"Yes, my lord Five Elders."

While the Five Elders gathered at the entrance of Impel Down, standing ready, Saint Saint Saiwen and the Red Count finally arrived at the boundary of Level Five's Frozen Hell.

The Red Count suddenly realized something.

"If we smash through the prison's outer wall from here, the entire Impel Down will be flooded."

Because Impel Down is located below sea level, seawater will pour in through the gap on Level Five, even directly destroying the entire Impel Down.

This guy is truly a madman.

It's just an escape; is it necessary to be this crazy?

Saint Saint Saiwen, as if by magic, casually took out an oxygen tank and a respirator and handed them to the Red Count.

"A man like you would still care about these things? Don't forget, prisoners who can be locked up in Impel Down can't be counted as good people either."

Destroying Impel Down... Saint Saint Saiwen actually felt somewhat reluctant.

According to the plan, when the World Government is overthrown in the future, Impel Down will belong to assets under his name.

Destroying it is truly a waste.

However, Saint Saint Saiwen needs to stir up trouble to attract the World Government's attention and share the pressure for Elbaf.

If Impel Down is destroyed, so be it.

Given the World Government's nature, if Saint Saint Saiwen destroys Impel Down today, the World Government will absolutely build a new Impel Down within a few years.

Only by disrupting the World Government's layout can Saint Saint Saiwen and the Morning Star Group find stability in the chaos.

After the Red Count put on the oxygen tank and respirator, Saint Saint Saiwen raised his iron fist covered in dual-colored Haki and smashed the outer wall of Impel Down, punch after punch.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

The dull sound vibrated through the seawater, and the shockwaves rippled across the sea surface through the seawater.

At this moment, at the entrance of Impel Down.

After discovering the anomaly on the sea surface, the Five Elders' faces instantly turned incredibly pale; they had already realized how the two prisoners were preparing to escape.

This is because Impel Down is located in the Calm Belt, where there is usually almost no wind or waves.

"Are they going to destroy Impel Down?!"

"Madmen, these are two madmen."

Just escape, just go through the motions; why bother smashing the outer wall of Impel Down?

Once Impel Down is destroyed after Marineford... of the World Government's three major law enforcement agencies, only Justice Island will remain!

"Quick... quickly find a way to contact the prisoners."

Saint Saturn was very anxious, extremely anxious.

And he was already prepared to compromise with the prisoners and let them leave, only begging them to show mercy and not continue causing trouble.

This farce... must end.

At the same time, Saint Saturn also confirmed one thing: the mysterious person with the Red Count was not Saint Saint Saint Saiwen.

Saint Saint Saint Saiwen is a Devil Fruit user, unable to move in seawater, and at the very least would not adopt such an extreme method of escape.

If it were Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, he would definitely Extort the World Government first at this hour.

"Have you contacted them?"

"My lord Five Elders... not yet."

Cold sweat poured uncontrollably from Saint Saturn's forehead: It's over, it's all over.

The Navy had just found a new headquarters to move to, and now Impel Down is about to be destroyed; if Lord Imu finds out, the five of them will absolutely have no good outcome.

Originally a situation looking very bright, how did it inexplicably become a headwind?

As time passed, the ripples on the sea surface grew larger and larger, finally gathering into countless waves.

Seeing this, Saint Wapol quickly made arrangements.

"Notify Level Four and Level Six to close the gates, ensure the impact is minimized, and order Kuzan to arrive as quickly as possible."

"All submarines dive... to pursue the prisoners."

If it were not in the deep sea, the Five Elders would definitely skin and tendon these two heinous criminals.

But precisely because seawater affects Devil Fruit users, the Five Elders, despite their full strength, could not enter the seawater to intercept.

They could only settle for the next best thing,

strategically abandoning the fifth level and waiting for Admiral Aokiji of the Marines to arrive and freeze the seawater flooding into the fifth level.

If the fifth level is destroyed, so be it; as long as the first four levels remain, they can barely make do.

Saint Voly suddenly had a thought: If Impel Down had Fish-Man soldiers, that would be good.

Seawater would not only fail to restrict Fish-Man soldiers but would instead become an asset to the Fish-Men.

If Impel Down had a few hundred Fish-Man soldiers, even if the Emperor of the Sea came in person, they would not be a match for the Fish-Men in the deep sea.

After this incident,

I must demand from Neptune one thousand... ten thousand Fish-Man soldiers to be incorporated into the Marines, Impel Down, and Justice Island under the World Government.

Even within the CP agent teams, Fish-Man soldiers must be standard equipment!

Finally, accompanied by a tremendous Boom—

the Five Elders' bodies swayed a few times; the ground was trembling, and a vortex first appeared on the sea surface, then grew larger and larger.

Such an anomaly indicated that seawater was flooding in...

Saint Saturn suddenly sighed with relief; facing the result directly was better than the torment of waiting.

Actually, calculating it accurately,

the World Government's loss was not great; it was merely the loss of the fifth and sixth levels, because the vast majority of prisoners on the sixth level had already been taken to Vegapunk's laboratory.

And the one who made this decision earlier was none other than he, Saint Saturn.

Thinking of this, Saint Saturn lifted his proud chin, his gaze sweeping one by one over the other four of the Five Elders: You four must all kowtow to me.

"Quick, quick, blockade the nearby sea area!"

In fact, the Five Elders all understood: the blockade was destined to be a futile formality.

But this formality had to be gone through.

Whether there was a result was Not Heavy at All; what mattered was that the Five Elders were truly doing their best to handle the aftermath.

Prisoners leaving from the deep sea...

There was truly no way around it.

Even if my lord Imu came in person, there would be no good method for the deep-sea area.

After a long time, the support teams sent by the Marines and Justice Island finally arrived late.
