Chapter 148

Lin Yu watched the struggling and hesitating Straw Hat Luffy and smiled.

His purpose for coming this time was actually not much different from Blackbeard's; Blackbeard wanted the prisoners on the sixth level.

And he wanted the prisoners who possessed Devil Fruit abilities, so he had no intention of fighting Straw Hat Luffy right now.

Of course, the main reason was that with Jinbe, Crocodile, and the Okama King Ivankov present, he couldn't take down Straw Hat Luffy in seconds, and getting entangled in a fight with them would only lead to them all being wiped out by Magellan.

Inside Impel Down, Magellan possessed absolute, overwhelming strength!

Furthermore, only by letting the Straw Hat group hold off Magellan could he hunt those prisoners with Devil Fruit abilities in peace.

"Are you going to fight or not!"

Seeing the hesitating Straw Hat Luffy in the distance, the irritable Ulti spoke loudly.

Smoothie also chuckled, gripped her sword with both hands, and prepared to strike at any moment.

Suddenly, a series of screams came from the passageway behind Straw Hat Luffy and the others.

"Ah!!!"

"Magellan is chasing us, hurry up and go."

Hearing this news, Straw Hat Luffy gritted his teeth, "Let's go!"

After saying this, Straw Hat Luffy led Jinbe and the others and ran in the direction Hawkins had just pointed.

Lin Yu also opened an air door, took Smoothie and Ulti into the different dimension, and prepared to head directly to the sixth level from within the different dimension.

He hadn't chosen this method earlier, naturally, because he wanted Nami and the others to see with their own eyes what Straw Hat Luffy was doing in Impel Down.

Not long after Straw Hat Luffy left, Magellan, covered in toxic mucus, chased up from the passageway and pursued in the direction of the Straw Hat group.

Seeing Magellan leave, Domino, who was in the different dimension, opened her mouth, but in the end, she could only sigh.

She and Sadi were now already Lin Yu's.

"Let's go."

Seeing the tearful expressions of Nami, Vivi, and Makino, Lin Yu knew his goal had been achieved. He said a word and took the lead in walking toward the fifth level.

Arriving at the fifth level, the Freezing Hell, Lin Yu once again appeared in the real world with Reiju, Ulti, Smoothie, and Domino.

"Domino, among the prisoners on this level, who possesses Devil Fruit abilities?"

"Preferably those with rare Devil Fruit abilities."

Seeing the icy, snowy scene before him, Lin Yu asked Domino beside him.

The prisoners locked in the fifth level, the Freezing Hell, were all pirates with bounties over 100 million, and there was no shortage of Devil Fruit users among them.

And Domino, as the Vice Warden of Impel Down, certainly knew everything about these prisoners. With her guidance, Lin Yu's speed in harvesting Devil Fruit abilities would be faster.

Lin Yu's purpose for coming to Impel Down this time was for Devil Fruits, so naturally, he had no reason to let go of these Devil Fruit users in the fifth level, the Freezing Hell.

Moreover, at this time, Magellan had been lured away by Straw Hat Luffy, and the Blackbeard Pirates must have already arrived at the sixth level, starting his "insect-rearing" game.

With the handcuffs of those vicious great pirates on the sixth level basically already removed, it wouldn't be easy for Lin Yu to hunt them.

Therefore, he prepared to hunt these easier ones first.

After all, these prisoners on the fifth level were all shackled with Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs, making them very simple to hunt.

For Lin Yu, it was just like picking fruit.

Hearing Lin Yu ask which prisoners possessed Devil Fruit abilities, Domino pursed her lips.

She had previously guessed Lin Yu's purpose for coming to Impel Down, and she had also guessed that the other party likely possessed the ability to steal others' Devil Fruits.

Now, Domino was almost 100% certain that Lin Yu definitely possessed some kind of ability to steal others' Devil Fruits, and his purpose for coming to Impel Down this time was naturally those prisoners who possessed Devil Fruit abilities.

"It seems you really can acquire others' Devil Fruits."

Domino sighed faintly.

"You really are smart!" Reiju said with a chuckle, complimenting Domino.

To be able to deduce Lin Yu's ability from just a little bit of information, Domino was truly worthy of being the Vice Warden of Impel Down.

Subsequently, Domino looked at Lin Yu and said very seriously:

"I will take you to find those prisoners who possess Devil Fruit abilities."

"But I hope you won't target my colleagues."

Domino also knew that it was impossible for her to stop Lin Yu now, so she could only hope that Lin Yu would spare her colleagues for the sake of her cooperation.

"It's a deal!"

Lin Yu smiled and nodded, agreeing to Domino's request.

Although Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit was powerful, the side effect of diarrhea was also great, and he had no interest in it.

"It's a deal!"

Seeing Lin Yu agree, Domino squatted on the snow with her legs together and began to draw a simple map of the fifth level, the Freezing Hell, on the snow with her finger.

While drawing the map, Domino spoke:

"In the Freezing Hell, there are over a dozen people with Devil Fruit abilities, but Lin Yu, you don't care for those ordinary Zoan abilities."

"So, our targets are those users with Paramecia Devil Fruit abilities."

"Among them..."

Soon, Domino told Lin Yu and the others the locations and information of all those prisoners who possessed rare Devil Fruit abilities.

Afterward, Reiju, Ulti, and Smoothie also quickly headed to their destinations to hunt based on Domino's map and instructions.

[Ding! Killed pirate Shion...]

[Ding! Paramecia... please pay...]

[Ding! Killed pirate Binz...]

[Ding! Zoan Ancient Species... please pay...]

[Ding! Killed pirate...]

[Ding! Paramecia...]

Impel Down, Level 6.

While Lin Yu was hunting those Devil Fruit users on the fifth level.

The prisoners on the sixth level had already begun killing each other under Blackbeard's orders.

"Zehahahaha, if you want to follow me, you must show your strength. Only those who stand until the end are qualified to be my partners!"

"Zehahahaha..."

Seeing the prisoners killing each other before him, Blackbeard laughed maniacally.

As long as he selected enough powerful partners and then obtained Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit during the Summit War, his ambition as one of the Four Emperors would soon be realized!

Laffitte glanced at Blackbeard, spun his cane in his hand a few times, and said:

"Captain, what about Magellan later? The antidote I obtained from the prison guards has just run out."

The reason Blackbeard and the others could appear on the sixth level unscathed after being defeated by Magellan.

Was entirely because Laffitte, who had stayed on the first three levels to create chaos, had obtained several doses of the potent antidote from hypnotized prison guards.
