[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Impeldown, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
"Next stop will be Marineford," Luffy said with a smile as he was about to take the next step.
"You, I remember that hat very well." While people were begging Luffy to help them get free, a powerful voice sounded among them, and Luffy stopped immediately at that moment, turning his hat while the group looked confused.
"Of course, you know it, after all, it belonged to your captain," Luffy said, maintaining a smile.
"Who is it?" Yamato asked.
"..." The voice didn't speak immediately, but a moment later said, "Do you think you deserve to wear it?" It spoke angrily, silencing all the members who stopped to look at them.
"..." Luffy was silent for a while, then he opened a smile and began to laugh. "Hahahahahaha. If you think I can't wear it, come to me, Douglas Bullet, I'll be waiting for you in a year," Luffy said, keeping his smile.
"You talk as if I had already left here." He mocked while the whole place went silent with the conversation.
"You will leave soon... So I'll be waiting for you in a year..." Luffy said, as his hand went to his waist, and he began to remove Ace.
Before anyone could react, he moved his arm and launched an air slash directly at the cell, but he didn't stop with just that slash and launched a second in another direction.
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
The sound of the two explosions due to his attack echoed through the place, while everyone didn't understand their captain's actions, but stayed silent, with two cells exploding and revealing them broken with red rays from Ace.
"Why are you doing this?" A voice from the second cell that Luffy attacked spoke calmly.
"I was sure you would be out of here today, but I want to ensure it, Douglas Bullet and Patrick Redfield. I'll be waiting for you outside and come find me in the new world in a year," Luffy immediately challenged them.
"That sword!!" Douglas Bullet once again growled while still being held in his cell.
"If you think I'm not worthy, both of the hat and the sword, come after me, Bullet," Luffy responded.
"I'm too old for what you want from me, kid," the second cell spoke, and Luffy just smiled.
"You'll find the Kyu Kyu no Mi. This fruit will make you recover all your strength," Luffy said.
"Do you know who these two people are, do you know who you are really helping to free?!" A new voice emerged, and it was none other than the former director of Impel Down, Shiryu of the Rain.
"..." Luffy ignored him, knowing that arguing with this man wouldn't help, even though he was losing his composure with whom Luffy was helping to get out of prison.
Luffy just thought about having this fight with them, seeing who would be the strongest and giving them a year to get stronger for it. He wanted to feel the thrill of facing someone powerful, having doubts about his own victory, after all, that's how someone who loved fighting should feel, and Luffy got this thrill again since he came to this world and wanted to enjoy it in the best possible way, facing legends and monsters.
"You talk as if you were a seer, who are you?" Redfield asked, not believing Luffy's words much.
Luffy smiled at the place in the midst of the silence and replied, "I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will be the emperor of all seas," he responded.
"Monkey D.?" Not only the two but all the prisoners were surprised by Garp's surname.
"I am Garp's grandson," Luffy replied before anyone else asked.
"You, the emperor of the sea, think you can surpass Roger?" Douglas mocked.
"Of that, I have no doubt. Listen, everyone, and remember my words, I will dominate all the seas of this world, it won't be you, the Yonko, the Marines, or the world government that will stop me, I will destroy everyone in my way, so you'd better prepare yourselves," Luffy said, releasing his conqueror's haki throughout level 6.
"He's crazy!" Someone exclaimed.
"He has conqueror's haki... it's no surprise to his declaration," another said.
"A child thinking they can conquer the world..." a third murmured.
"Master!" Baby-5 had shining eyes for Luffy at that moment.
"..." Zoro smiled.
"Luffy being Luffy..." Nami commented with crossed arms but had a sparkle in her eyes.
"..." Jinbei stayed silent but was surprised by it.
"Mugiwara..." Crocodile frowned.
"He won't be alone in this!" Yamato exclaimed, releasing her haki.
"Luffy-Sama! I will always help you!" Shirahoshi said, releasing her conqueror's haki as well.
"I will be the greatest swordsman in the world by your side," Zoro said, releasing his energy wave.
"Tsk. I will take that title from you, Zoro, but I will help Luffy," Kuina said, releasing her haki.
"Someone needs to feed him..." Reiju commented, releasing her haki.
"..." Lami didn't say anything but also released her haki wave.
"Multiple conqueror's haki!"
"Seven? Seven users of conqueror's haki in one group?!"
"Who the hell are they, what's happening out there for us to see so many people together?"
The exclamations started to emerge from all the cells as the wave of multiple hakis not only generated a wind but suddenly the whole prison started to tremble with it.
"Hm?! What is this now!!" Magellan was frightened by it.
"An earthquake!" Ivankov shouted a little above the origin of the tremor.
Meanwhile, on the sixth floor itself, the legendary pirates like Bullet and Redfield were looking at it stunned while frowning.
A moment later, the haki finally began to calm down. "You see, I have very powerful companions, enough to bring the world to its knees..." Luffy began.
"Both you from Roger or even from Rocks, we are a crew that will surpass all, so I hope to see you as opponents the moment we meet, I'll be waiting for you in the new world, don't forget that," Luffy said with a smile and began to walk again, while everyone stayed silent in their cells, thinking exactly about his words.
"Hey, Luffy, who were they?" Zoro asked, not remembering hearing about them.
"One of them is called Douglas Bullet, he was known as the monster, a member of Gol D. Roger's crew, perhaps the most powerful of them. I can't say for sure," Luffy said. He didn't know him well enough to confirm anything, after all, he hadn't paid attention to that in the original work.
"The strongest of Roger's crew, from the Pirate King's crew?!" Usopp shouted while almost everyone looked shocked at this situation.
"What's so special about this guy...?" Enel mocked.
"Tsk. You don't seem to understand, of all the people we've faced, none compare to the strength of this man if he is as the captain says," Hugo commented.
"And the other one..." Nojiko commented.
"He is Redfield... He is from the same era, even emerged before Whitebeard created his crew, when he served under Rocks' flag. He was a man so powerful that he never needed a crew, preferring to sail alone on the sea and that ended up being his downfall when the marines ambushed him with three admirals and ten vice-admirals at the same time..." Luffy commented.
"Nee... All that for just one man?!" Hachi exclaimed while Jinbei stayed silent but equally surprised by this man he had never heard of either.
"Yes... that's why he is a legendary pirate." Luffy smiled, looking forward to facing these forces in the future.
"Wait! Do you really want to face them, will you be okay?!" Vivi exclaimed, worried.
"It's alright, trust your captain," Luffy said again.
"I don't quite understand... But Luffy, you can't release prisoners from prison!" Lucy exclaimed.
"..." Everyone looked at her as if she were an idiot at that moment.
"But Lucy-Sama... weren't you a prisoner too?" Shirahoshi asked innocently, while Lucy finally realized it.
"That's true!" She scratched her head, surprised. "But we have to save Ace, let's go, Luffy!" She exclaimed, wanting to run.
"Wait," Luffy said, walking calmly until they returned to the place they came from, with an elevator on one side and the emergency entrance to the fifth level on the other.
"Are we going to use the elevator?" Nami asked.
Luffy didn't respond immediately; he simply clenched his fists and launched a storm of flames at the transportation equipment, which exploded the next moment. "No," he replied to his woman.
"You could have at least warned us!" Nami complained with a frown.
"Hahaha. Let's go, we'll see a few more acquaintances and return to the surface!" Luffy exclaimed with his new group, satisfied with what he did on this floor.
"Ziahahahaha! Let's go! Straight to the sixth floor!" Teach exclaimed as his ship finally docked in the port while countless marines looked at him with hope.
"Look, the Marines sent a Shichibukai!" they exclaimed but soon noticed something strange.
"But this is strange, where are the HQ Marines? Why are we only seeing the group of a newly appointed Shichibukai?" the Marines exclaimed. It was already dawn, and it wouldn't take long for the sun to start rising in the east.
"Hm? Captain, the place is all destroyed... who could have done this?!" Burgess asked.
"Strange... someone really attacked the prison before us..." Van Augur said calmly while trying to identify the height.
"It's true, let's ask the Marines then," Teach said and jumped off the ship while the people were a bit cautious about this unexpected visit.
"Hey, what happened here?" Teach asked, while a Marine, despite his caution, spoke, finding it even stranger that even Teach didn't know, which meant that HQ didn't send them.
"It was the Straw Hats, they launched an attack on the prison! They destroyed the first floor and started passing through all the levels, we don't know where they are with the communication cut off," the Marines exclaimed.
"What?!" Teach was extremely surprised by that. "He thought of attacking the prison and is going down...? What is he planning? I hope he doesn't ruin my plan!" Teach exclaimed, a little worried about Luffy's presence here.
"Plan...?" the Marine asked when he heard.
"My plan to invade Impel Down and recruit new members for my crew!" Teach exclaimed while the Marines and prison soldiers were surprised by this declaration, and before they could react, Teach released the power of his Akuma no Mi and the entire ground began to turn dark.
"What is this?!" they exclaimed, surprised, seeing that they couldn't even move.
"Ziahahahaha! Let's start and catch up with Mugiwara before he ruins my plans!" Teach said and began to suck in all the people in front of him.
"Hey, what's happening!?"
The people started to get scared as they were sucked into the darkness, unable to do anything, they began to enter that dark mass and disappear while emitting frightened screams.
The screams finally stopped when everyone was swallowed by the black hole. "Ziahahahahaha!" Teach laughed and began to release the darkness above him, with hundreds of Marines and guards falling, all injured and unconscious in a heap in front of him.
"Let's go! We've taken care of these, now the way is clear, Ziahahahaha!" Teach exclaimed and began to walk, stepping over the scattered bodies, while some Marines and soldiers, horrified by this scene, began to hide, and the Blackbeard Pirates ignored them, heading for the stairs with the elevator not working.
