Chapter 142

In the deep sea near Impel Down, the Great Underwater Prison.

Lin Yu lay on the bow of the coated Shennu, enjoying the wonderful scenery of the deep sea with Reiju, Nami, Robin, and the others.

For Lin Yu, who knew the plot, the Summit War was a good hunting ground, but Impel Down was no worse.

Although he didn't know if Luffy would come to cause trouble this time, Blackbeard, who was looking for crew members, would definitely appear.

This gave him an opportunity.

Moreover, Impel Down had two beauties from the plot who hadn't eaten Devil Fruits, Domino and Sadi, so he couldn't possibly miss this opportunity to further strengthen himself.

Therefore, on the night before the Summit War began, he took advantage of the darkness and took the Ark Maxim to the sea near Impel Down.

Afterward, he used the successfully coated Shennu to sneak into the sea near Impel Down, preparing to act when the opportunity arose.

However, because Impel Down was located in the Calm Belt, surrounded by countless giant Sea Kings, a coated ship hiding there would be subjected to endless attacks from them.

So Lin Yu was currently at a short distance from Impel Down.

Not long after, the ringing of a Den Den Mushi sounded.

Brrr-brrr~ Brrr-brrr~

Click!

Hina’s voice came from the Den Den Mushi:

"Lin Yu, the Marine fleet transferring Ace to Marine Headquarters has arrived at Impel Down."

Hina was currently in the Shennu’s communication room, using a wiretapping Den Den Mushi to eavesdrop on the Marines’ internal communications, helping Lin Yu keep track of the war’s developments at all times.

Hearing this, the corners of Lin Yu’s mouth curled up.

The good show, it begins!

Lin Yu took a cold drink from Anna behind him and took a sip.

Afterward, he asked the Den Den Mushi:

"Don't worry about it, we just need to wait for the Blackbeard Pirates to appear."

Only when Blackbeard and Magellan both suffered would he, Lin Yu, be able to reap the greatest benefits.

And as a God-Slayer, if he went to Impel Down now, he might be targeted by Magellan, causing Blackbeard to reap the benefits like in the original story.

"Hina understands." Hina hung up the Den Den Mushi and continued to listen.

At the gate of Impel Down.

Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, was escorted by several elite Marine Vice Admirals onto the warship heading to Marine Headquarters.

Watching the Marine fleet leave, Magellan turned and walked into Impel Down.

"Goo~~~"

Just as he returned to the Warden’s office, Magellan’s stomach let out a roar.

"Hannyabal, keep an eye on the situation, I’m going to the bathroom."

With that, Magellan took big strides toward the bathroom; if he didn't hurry, something would come shooting out from behind him.

"Warden, why don't you just stay in there?"

Vice Warden Hannyabal looked at Magellan with disdain, then put his hands behind his back and, under the gaze of the jailers and guards, sat in the Warden’s seat with his head held high.

In Hannyabal’s view, the position of Warden would be his sooner or later.

Vice Chief Guard Domino looked at the triumphant Hannyabal and said coldly:

"Vice Warden, your seat is here."

With that, Domino pointed to a small chair next to the Warden’s seat.

Hannyabal said angrily: "Bastard, I want to sit here!"

This Domino is really something, can’t a man have a daydream!

Domino pushed up her sunglasses and said faintly: "Alright then, actually I wanted to say that when the Warden was drinking water today, he accidentally spilled some on the chair."

Magellan was a Poison Human who had eaten the Paramecia-type Venom-Venom Fruit; the gas he exhaled was highly toxic, so the water he touched was naturally no exception. Even if others just touched it with their skin, they would be contaminated by the deadly poison.

Hearing Domino’s words, Hannyabal felt his butt start to burn.

"Quick, quick, give me the antidote!"

On the other side.

Not long after the Marine fleet responsible for escorting Ace left.

The Blackbeard Pirates’ ship arrived directly at Impel Down and used their status as Seven Warlords of the Sea to enter.

After entering Impel Down, Blackbeard Teach took care of the guards at the gate and laughed:

"Ze-hahahaha, everything is going according to plan. Now let me pick a few powerful partners and head to Marineford together."

Hearing his captain’s words, Laffitte, who was wearing a black top hat and holding a cane, spoke up:

"Captain, the Warden of Impel Down, Magellan, is powerful, and there are many guards and jailers. Breaking in by force might not be worth the effort. Why don't we create some chaos before heading to the sixth level?"

Blackbeard Teach nodded in agreement.

His purpose in coming to Impel Down this time was to recruit powerful partners, not to fight Magellan.

If he got entangled with Magellan for too long and missed the war between the Marines and Whitebeard, causing him to miss the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, it would be a huge loss.

Afterward, Blackbeard looked at Laffitte and said:

"In that case, Laffitte, you go and hypnotize the guards in the control room now, have them release all the prisoners in the prison to create chaos, while the rest of us take the opportunity to enter the sixth level."

"Understood, Captain."

Laffitte agreed and rushed toward the guard room on the first level of Impel Down.

Not long after, the prisoners on the first, second, and third levels were released from their cells one after another, creating huge chaos and successfully attracting the attention of Hannyabal and the others.

Blackbeard and the others took advantage of the chaos created by Laffitte to quickly head to the sixth level.

However, because Magellan had gone to the bathroom, by the time he received the news and came out, he happened to block Blackbeard and the others on the fourth level...

And not long after Blackbeard and the others entered Impel Down.

Several giant birds appeared in the clouds in the sky far from Impel Down, and on the head of the giant bird stood a figure wearing a straw hat.

It was Monkey D. Luffy, who had rushed over after learning that Ace was about to be executed.

Because his crew had been swatted away by Bartholomew Kuma, Luffy had come alone this time.

"Uncle Bird-Keeper, thank you."

Arriving at the gate of Impel Down, Luffy jumped off the giant bird and thanked the bird-keeper who had brought him.

Then he rushed straight toward the gate of Impel Down, which had been opened by the Blackbeard Pirates.

Because of outdated information, Luffy still thought Ace was in Impel Down.

"Luffy-san, I hope you can rescue your brother."

The bird-keeper on the back of the giant bird looked at Luffy, who had run into Impel Down, and gave a heartfelt blessing.

Luffy had appeared in his hometown a few days ago and successfully saved his life.

In return, he told Luffy the news that Ace was being held in Impel Down and agreed to Luffy’s request to be taken to Impel Down.
