Kapitel 159: Chapter 159: The Impel Down Uprising
Impel Down—Underwater Great Prison.
After the strongest man in the prison, Magellan, was defeated by Shiro, the entire underwater prison fell into complete chaos! It was simply too shocking to comprehend!
Magellan, the former chief warden of Impel Down, was renowned as the prison's most powerful figure. Yet in front of Shiro, he was utterly defeated so easily!
Shiro, with a bounty of 5.36 billion Belly, truly lived up to his reputation as the leader of the new generation of powerhouses!
But it wasn't just Shiro.
Along with him was the world's greatest swordsman, Hawk Eyes Mihawk! These two were among the top powerhouses of the sea—terrifying individuals!
So, when Shiro and Mihawk broke into Impel Down, the entire prison was thrown into massive turmoil!
"Hey! You lot, get back to your posts, damn it! I just became the chief warden and now I have to deal with this? Damn you, Magellan!"
At this moment, the new chief warden of Impel Down, Hannyabal, was completely flustered.
Just half a day ago, Magellan had confidently told him that they would surely capture Shiro this time and imprison him, erasing the shame of the previous prison riot.
Back then, Hannyabal believed him. After all, even though Shiro's recent feats were terrifying, Magellan was still the man reputed to be the strongest in the prison. Hannyabal knew very well how powerful Magellan was!
To ensure success, he had even mobilized the prison's elite to assist Magellan!
Who would have thought? In front of Shiro, Magellan was so powerless, and now the entire Impel Down was in chaos!
Hannyabal was helpless. Though he was the current Chief Warden, Magellan still held more influence in the prison. Now that Magellan had been captured by the criminals, what could Hannyabal do?
To make matters worse, when Shiro and Mihawk appeared before him, there was no one by his side!
Besides Shiro and Mihawk, there were also Domino and Sadi-chan, two important figures of Impel Down!
Damn it! How could this happen? No wonder Magellan had previously imprisoned Domino and Sadi. They had already betrayed the prison and joined Shiro!?
And what was with Domino's gaze? Could Shiro be that captivating?
Countless thoughts raced through Hannyabal's mind. In the end, he made the same decision as before.
If Shiro and the others were allowed to wreak havoc in Impel Down, it wouldn't just be a stain on the prison's reputation—many dangerous criminals might escape!
As the Chief Warden of Impel Down, it was now Hannyabal's duty to defend his position!
"Are you going to kill him?" asked Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, always a man of few words.
Since Mihawk had chosen to side with Central Authority, the World Government was now their absolute enemy. And since Impel Down was part of the World Government's system, it was naturally their enemy as well.
"Ha? D-Don't get cocky! I'm the Chief Warden of Impel Down!" Hannyabal shouted, trembling with fear from Mihawk's words but trying to muster the courage to hold his weapon firmly.
However, he never got the chance to show any strength.
Boom—
Shiro, who had been silent up until now, glanced at Hannyabal. In an instant, his overwhelming Conqueror's Haki exploded!
In that moment, Hannyabal was immediately stunned, losing most of his consciousness.
Boom—
Following that, Shiro unleashed a Rankyaku that sent Hannyabal flying, knocking him out cold. Since Hannyabal wasn't someone who needed to be killed, Shiro spared his life.
This scene was observed by many prison guards who were secretly watching.
Without exaggeration, at this moment, the entire prison guard corps had lost the will to fight.
After all, with Magellan, the strongest man in the prison, and Chief Warden Hannyabal both defeated, most of the elite prison guards had already been taken down by Shiro and Mihawk.
There wasn't even a chance for resistance.
The remaining guards? Could they even stand against the legendary criminals and the world's greatest swordsman? Did they even dare?
While the remaining prison guards were filled with panic and fear, Domino, the former Head Jailer, stepped forward to calm the situation. Having taken over after Shiryu of the Rain left the post, Domino's position within Impel Down had always been second only to Magellan and Hannyabal.
With Shiro and Mihawk's terrifying presence, most of the guards chose to surrender peacefully, while a small handful attempted to break out or resist.
For those who resisted, Shiro showed no mercy, cutting them down without hesitation!
But Shiro's goal wasn't as simple as Hannyabal or Magellan thought.
This was an operation comparable to Central Authority's recent campaigns across the first half of the Grand Line and the East and South Blues.
Think about it: If Shiro and his forces could capture Impel Down, Enies Lobby, and the former Marine Headquarters at Marineford, all of these places, which had once been the core of justice for the World Government, would fall into the hands of Central Authority!
What a shock that would be!
The World Government's pride would surely be shattered!
Moreover, if both of these campaigns were completed, Central Authority would gain full control over the entire first half of the Grand Line. Their influence would grow to a terrifying level!
At that time, people across the seas would finally realize that Central Authority had the power to rival the World Government!
For Shiro, this had all been part of his plan from the beginning. Most of the important events happening now were already within his calculations.
As for the takeover of Impel Down, Enies Lobby, and Marineford, it seemed entirely possible!
After all, the Marine Headquarters had already moved to the New World, and Impel Down was conveniently located in the Calm Belt.
After today, Impel Down would become the newest territory of Central Authority.
From there, they could take control of the Gates of Justice that connected Enies Lobby and Marineford!
Yes, Shiro planned to seize the Gates of Justice as well!
But for now, that was just an idea. His immediate focus was on Impel Down.
After all, the greatest power in Impel Down wasn't the prison guards—it was the terrifying monsters locked up in the Eternal Hell.
