Chapter 10: Chapter 10 : Senbonzakura!!
Not good! We've been spotted!
The instant the alarm blared, Buggy knew something was seriously wrong!
Right now, only two people could have triggered the alarm on the fourth basement floor!
Mr. 3, panic-stricken, exclaimed, "What should we do? If we get caught, we'll face incredibly brutal torture! I'd rather die than be captured!"
"If you're not afraid of dying, then let's fight our way out!" Buggy's eyes flashed with determination. "No need to hide—let's charge straight through!"
Buggy's eyes gleamed with resolve as he grabbed Mr. 3 by the collar and bolted forward at top speed.
Buggy had been holding back to match Mr. 3's pace, but now they needed to move faster to avoid being surrounded by the guards!
"Slow down, slow down! I'm out of breath, I can't keep up!" Mr. 3 gasped.
Buggy's incredible speed left Mr. 3 struggling to keep up, his prison collar tightening painfully around his neck!
Ignoring Mr. 3's protests, Buggy pressed on. They were now visible to the surveillance phone bugs, and a swarm of jailers was already converging on their location!
Worse still, several powerful auras were mingling among the jailers. If they didn't act fast, they'd be doomed when Magellan arrived!
After running for a short distance, Buggy felt that they had cleared a height disadvantage. He quickly leaped over the guardrail of the spiral staircase and aimed straight for the boiling blood pool at the bottom of the round tower!
"Ahhh! I'm going to die~~~~"
Mr. 3, caught off guard, screamed as the blood pool loomed ever closer. Despite the noise being almost unbearable, Buggy considered tossing Mr. 3 into the pool, but he remembered that Mr. 3 might still be useful later and decided to endure.
"Split, Cannon!"
With ten meters left to the blood pool, Buggy twisted in midair, separating his feet from his body and propelling himself towards the pool like a cannonball!
As Buggy's feet touched the ground, his descent abruptly halted, and he flew outward from the pool!
Thanks to his Devil Fruit power, Buggy could control his body within a two-hundred-meter radius centered on his feet as long as they were on the ground!
"Buggy! It's Buggy the Clown! Get him!"
Buggy's unexpected appearance, along with Mr. 3, caught the attention of both the nearby inmates and the jailers!
Some jailers immediately grabbed their phone bugs to report the incident, while others charged at Buggy armed with weapons. The surrounding prisoners scattered, creating a clear path for Buggy and his companion to escape.
Buggy looked at the dozen or so jailers rushing toward him, his expression remaining impassive as he drew his long sword with a swift, backward motion.
"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"
With a low cry, Buggy swung the long sword forward. As the blade cut through the air, it began to dissipate like wisps of smoke.
The advancing jailers were momentarily stunned, only to be greeted by a shower of 'petals' reflecting the firelight, fluttering down one after another.
"Ahhh!!"
The jailers screamed in unison as they fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
"Hiss~~"
"This guy's a bit formidable! What kind of ability is that?"
"How come I've never heard of him before?"
"Weren't those jailers just calling him Buggy the Clown? Is he a new pirate?"
The onlookers, witnessing Buggy's swift defeat of the jailers, gasped in amazement and marveled at his strange and impressive methods.
Buggy sheathed his sword, and the petals around him reassembled into the shape of the long blade.
"Time to go!"
He picked up Mr. 3, who was still lying on the ground, and, after orienting himself, prepared to make his escape.
The dozen or so jailers he had just defeated were only a small fraction of the guards on the fourth underground level. More jailers were on their way, and Buggy had to get out quickly!
The structure of this four-story underground prison was quite peculiar, a circular building centered around a massive blood pool. The stairwells were easily visible, which saved Buggy considerable effort in navigating.
But just as Buggy was about to leave, a prisoner stepped in front of him with a sinister grin. "Buggy the Clown, if you want to escape from this place, you might as well take us with you!"
"Yeah, yeah! You can't escape alone!"
"We'll be very grateful for your help!"
The other prisoners also nodded in agreement.
The prisoners at this level are mostly notorious criminals with bounties exceeding 50 million! Even a random one of them, if placed in the East Blue, would be a top-tier threat!
Thus, despite the relentless torture they endure daily and the grueling physical labor that drains their strength, these prisoners remain unbroken. They're still scheming escape plans!
"I'm not trying to break out of prison right now; I'm heading to the next level! If you want to come, follow me!"
Buggy said casually, picking up Mr. 3 and heading towards the stairwell that leads to the fifth basement level.
The prisoners were stunned into silence, watching Buggy leave. No one dared to speak!
The Level 5: Freezing Hell is no place for people to linger. Only a fool would venture there!
"All prisoners, return to your cells immediately! Anyone found outside their cell in one minute will be executed!"
The announcement blared from the radio on the fourth basement floor, repeating the order.
The prisoners, momentarily stunned, scrambled frantically back to their cells! With no hope of escape, they wanted to avoid being caught up in this mess and executed by the guards.
The entire fourth basement floor descended into chaos!
Despite the commotion, the prisoners instinctively avoided the area where Buggy was, not wanting to get entangled in trouble.
As a result, Buggy and Mr. 3 stood out conspicuously, and soon, a large number of guards surrounded them from all sides!
Realizing this, Buggy slowed his pace, dropped Mr. 3 to the ground, and drew the two long knives from his waist.
"Take care of yourself. Stay close and don't fall behind, or you'll really be in trouble!"
Buggy instructed, then continued forward, brandishing his twin knives.
"Don't worry. I've got your back!"
Mr. 3 knew it was time to act decisively and follow in Buggy's footsteps without hesitation. Buggy didn't say a word. He raised his hands and swiftly eliminated the dozen or so jailers in front of him.
"Scatter, Double Senbonzakura!"
The twin blades in Buggy's hands dissolved into the air, and fiery red petals began to swirl and rise one after another.
"Ah!!"
