Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Can whitebeard defeats 3 Admirals, Sengoku and Garp?
"Sea Knight Jinbei, right? I want to ask, was Portgas·D·Ace, my eldest nephew and the son of One Piece's Roger, imprisoned here a few minutes ago?"
"Whaaaat!!!!"
After Buggy said this, Eternal Hell fell into complete chaos after a few seconds of silence!
"Damn! Did I hear that correctly? Could it be that I've been locked up for too long and now I'm hallucinating?"
"No, you heard it right! That guy named Buggy just claimed that Fire Fist Ace, the second division captain of Whitebeard, who was taken away earlier, is Roger's son?"
"Whitebeard took Roger's son as his own? Hold on—things are getting confusing, let me slow down, let me slow down!"
<I wonder how will they react that Garp adopted Ace. If Garp is Ace's Grandpa does that mean Roger and Whitebeard who are Ace's Dad are also Garp's Sons? And with the addition of Dragon and Luffy. Garp does have the most notorious family.>
"I'm sorry, but this news is incredibly shocking, isn't it? By the way, is it even okay to talk about this kind of thing?"
"Unbelievable! This guy named Buggy, isn't he the same Buggy who hangs out with Shanks as a cabin boy!?"
"What nonsense is this guy spouting?Vice Vice Captain Gabban, say something! Is Ace truly Captain Roger's son? But isn't Ace going to be executed soon? Does that mean we watched helplessly as Captian's son was sentenced to death?"
"Shut up!!! How the hell am I supposed to know if Ace is Captain Roger's son? Wait, since this guy calls himself Buggy, he's coming to get us! Humph! And you old man stop shouting shit."
Just as Gabban finished speaking, the old voice from before playfully chimed in:
"Or what, Gabban? You might not be able to defeat this old man. You've been imprisoned for over ten or twenty years. If you ever get out, your fate won't be much different from Byrnndi Worlds! Hahahaha..."
"Shut up! Redfield, you old bastard! Didn't I defeat you with an axe and break your so-called invincible Sturdy body? You've been holding a grudge all this time!" Jabba exclaimed in anger and embarrassment.
Upon hearing this, Redfield also grew annoyed:
"Enough with your jokes, Gabban! If it weren't for your shameless Roger pirates besieging me, do you think you could have laid a finger on me? A bunch of dirty pirates who know nothing about Honour tried to trick and attack an old man like me!"
Gabban: "..."
Buggy paid no attention to the renewed chaos in Eternal Hell caused by his disturbance. He simply looked up at Jinbei.
Luffy, seemingly oblivious to Buggy's earlier statement, rushed excitedly to the prison door, grabbed the Seastone bars, and peered inside.
"Ace, Ace was imprisoned here... Ah, why do I suddenly feel so weak?"
Thud...
Luffy collapsed onto the ground like a noodle.
Jinbei, locked from within the prison, was dumbfounded by this scene and spoke after a long while: "He truly is an impulsive guy, just as Ace described..."
Having said that, Jinbei turned his head to look at Buggy and asked seriously: "Is what you said true, Mr Buggy?"
Buggy, using his powers, lifted Luffy to his side and simultaneously shattered the seastone prison gate and the chains binding Jinbei. He spoke slowly, under Jinbei's shocked gaze:
"If it were false, why would I bring this brat to Eternal Hell?"
Upon hearing this, Jinbei let out a long sigh:
"I never expected Ace to be Roger, the Pirate King's, son. But Mr Buggy, is it wise to reveal such information?"
"It doesn't matter; the Marines will announce it soon enough."
Buggy narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Why do you think the Marines chose to execute Ace today?"
"Um... why?."
Jinbei scratched his head as he got up.
"Because today marks the twentieth anniversary of Captain Roger's execution."
Buggy remained composed as he spoke slowly.
Buzz buzz...
As soon as he said this, Jinbei didn't react, and three bursts of Conqueror's Haki, comparable to Buggy's earlier display, erupted from deep within the prison!
Instantly, chaos ensued throughout Eternal Hell.
Being struck by Conqueror's Haki was never a pleasant experience, especially when it came unexpectedly in a triple dose!
"This..."
Jinbei, Luffy, and Ivankov were all taken aback by this revelation.
They never expected that three individuals in Eternal Hell possessed such formidable Conqueror's Haki!
"Alright, Mr Jinbei, now is not the time to be astonished by this."
Buggy looked at Jinbei with indifference, unaffected by the three bursts of Conqueror's Haki.
"The reason I rescued you is because I want you to join my crew."
"Impossible! Mr Buggy, although I'm grateful, I'm a member of Papa Whitebeard's crew!" Jinbei immediately shook his head.
"What if Whitebeard dies?" Buggy asked nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Jinbei's reaction became intense:
"What? Mr. Buggy, my father is incredibly strong, it's impossible..."
"Jinbei! Do you think that Whitebeard, in his seventies and covered in injuries, can take on the full might of the Marine Headquarters?"
Buggy interrupted Jinbei abruptly, his gaze unwavering:
"Garp, Sengoku, let's not mention them. He might be able to face off against one of the three Admirals on his own. But if he were to fight all of them, do you believe he could handle two against one? Or even one against three? If it were Whitebeard at the height of his power, I would have no doubts."
"But given the current circumstances, you don't seriously believe he is still the strongest in the world, do you? Once Whitebeard is stopped, without my support, Ace won't be saved, and the Whitebeard Pirates will be wiped out! Don't be so naive, Jinbei! Do you want Mermaid Island to be buried along with the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Buggy's words pierced Jinbei's heart like daggers, one after another.
With each sentence, Jinbei's face grew paler.
Until the final sentence became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Thud!
Jinbei took a few steps back, his face contorted with anguish, before eventually sitting on the ground, utterly defeated.
"You have some time to think it over before I find other crewmates," Buggy glanced at Jinbei, whose eyes seemed vacant, then turned and walked in another direction.
In that direction, Buggy sensed an aura inherited from his memories—a beastly aura in human form that had once terrified the former Buggy!

Chapter 19: Chapter 19
Everyone in Eternal Hell overheard Buggy's conversation with Jinbei, which led them to fall into deep contemplation. It became apparent that this man had come to the sixth floor to gather Crewmates and proceed to Naval Headquarters to rescue Roger's son.
Upon understanding Buggy's purpose, many individuals in Eternal Hell's minds suddenly came alive. Despite lacking any personal attachment to Roger, and some even harbouring intentions to harm him, they recognized the importance of obedience in their quest to escape Impel Down.
After all, once they break free, they would have the final say in everything. Perhaps, given enough time, they could even plan a betrayal. After all, isn't it common for pirates to backstab their own comrades?
However, for the time being, they were not in a hurry. They were curious to see who Buggy was seeking. When they witnessed Buggy confidently walking towards the cell that instilled fear in them, many of them began to revel in schadenfreude.
They were aware that the individual locked in that cell had reached the peak of his strength. This man had dedicated years to honing his Haki and physical abilities. Even under the suppressive effect of seastone, he constantly emanated a formidable Haki, resembling a terrifying beast that sent shivers down their spines.
At that moment, Buggy, who had approached the man's cell, chuckled and nonchalantly shattered the seastone door with a casual swing of his hand. He greeted the person inside, saying, "Yo, isn't this Bullet? It's been over twenty years. What are you doing chained here?"
The reaction of everyone in Eternal Hell: ...
"Wow! You really dare, kid!"
Boom!
Following Buggy's words, a powerful aura erupted from deep within the prison gate, accompanied by blue-black lightning, sweeping towards Buggy and the others. There was no doubt that it was Bullet's Conqueror's Haki.
However, even Mr. 1 and Luffy, who had previously experienced Buggy's Conqueror's Haki multiple times and survived encounters with Conqueror's Haki users, were now resistant to its effect. They could only marvel at the immense power it possessed.
"Uncle, what a strong person!" Luffy exclaimed, his expression serious as he focused on Bullet in the prison ahead.
"It's not just strong; it's a monster!" Ivankov widened his eyes in shock. Then, seemingly realizing something, he opened his mouth and looked at Buggy.
"BuggyBoy, don't tell me..." Ivankov began.
"Yeah, I want to take Bullet with me," Buggy interrupted with a shrug and a laugh. "After all, we were once comrades on the same ship, don't you think so, Bullet?"
Hum...
While speaking, Buggy unleashed his powerful Conqueror's Haki, pushing back Bullet's Haki without showing any signs of weakness.
Zizizi...
The two powerful Conqueror's Haki clashed in the air. After a few seconds, Bullet's purple-black lightning-infused Conqueror's Haki was directly suppressed by Buggy's own purple-black Conqueror's Haki, forced to retreat and eventually collapse with a resounding bang.
"What!"
Bullet's shocked voice echoed from the dark cell. "Are you really Buggy? Your Conqueror's Haki can overpower me? Are you kidding?"
Hum!
Refusing to admit defeat, Bullet burst forth with another surge of powerful blue-black Conqueror's Haki, sweeping and oppressing Buggy.
Witnessing the clash between these two formidable Conqueror's Haki users, the other prisoners in Eternal Hell looked on in shock. It was difficult for them to fathom that Bullet had been initially suppressed.
Buggy, aware that he needed to assert his dominance over Bullet, didn't waste any time. He raised his hand and patted the astonished Luffy on the head, smiling.
"Nephew Luffy, study hard and comprehend well. There's Haki within you as well. Today, I'll let you experience it in advance!"
After speaking, Buggy locked his gaze on Bullet, his eyes wide open, and shouted, "Bullet, have you been imprisoned for too long? Have you been abandoned for too long? The world is changing, and aren't you chasing after the title of the strongest in the world? Don't you admire Captain Roger the most? Now that his son is scheduled for execution on the day of his captain's death, can you sit idly by? You nearly..."
Boom!
In the next moment, a purple-black Conqueror's Haki, even more, terrifying than Bullet's, seemed to ignite a storm of purple lightning in Eternal Hell.
Whoooo!
In just a breath, Bullet's Conqueror's Haki was suppressed, defeated, and enveloped within the confines of his prison.
Initially confident, Bullet was instantly bent down by the overwhelming pressure. His eyes widened, and he growled in disbelief, "What! How is this possible? Buggy, you bastard!"
"Bullet, you've been imprisoned for too long!" Buggy proclaimed, laughing. The white light in his palm flickered, and he aimed it at the seastone gate of Bullet's prison, unleashing a beam of light.
"Are you going to rot away completely or join me in witnessing the clash between Marine's top fighters and Whitebeard's crew? It's the greatest battlefield in the world today. As the 'Former World's Worst Criminal,' aren't you excited? Hahaha..."
"Buggy..." Bullet gritted his teeth, growling softly before bursting into laughter. "Kahahaahaha... Since that's the case, I'll accompany you for a walk! Even though Captain Roger's decision to turn himself in was foolish, he's the man who ushered the world into a new era! As his former crew member, I can't allow his son to be executed by the Marines. Set me free, Buggy."
Hearing Bullet's response, the corners of Buggy's mouth curled into a slight smile. Beside him, Ivankov was shocked, whispering, "Hey, BuggyBoy, this guy is a monster. Are you sure you want to set him free?"
Buggy chuckled, patting Ivankov on the shoulder. "Who isn't a monster? Don't underestimate yourself, Ivan-chan."
With that said, he ignored the astonished Ivankov and confidently walked into the prison. This time, Buggy didn't release the chains as casually as before. Instead, he approached Bullet and pressed his hand against the dozen seastone chains restraining him.
Kacha Kacha Kacha...
One by one, the seastone chains shattered.
Bullet, who had been observing the unfolding events with concern, saw Buggy approaching him and greeted him with a grin. "Brother Douglas, welcome to Jailbreak crew."
Upon hearing Buggy's words, Bullet froze for a moment, memories of their time together on Roger's ship flooding his mind. The corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, and then he snorted coldly. "Hmph! I'm doing this for Captain Roger's sake."
Snapped!
Having said that, Bullet took Buggy's hand and stood up. At that moment, another voice emerged from the depths of the prison.
< In OG manga Buggy equated his strength at the time with Silvers Rayleigh's, and speculated that Bullet had surpassed Rayleigh due to continuous training while Roger's first mate retired. Bullet's threat became so significant that a Buster Call was once ordered solely to take him out, commanded by legendary Marines Sengoku and Monkey D. Garp, and they even allowed other pirates who had been ruined by Bullet to join them on the attack. Though Bullet was finally subdued, he put on an intense fight until the end of the battle. What a pity he was non-cannon!>
"I never expected you to truly be Buggy! It seems you're seeking assistance now. In that case, let this old man lend a hand for Captain Roger's sake. Duringo and Sunbell are here too."
