Chapter's Events:
—————————
{Monitor Room}
"Crocodile… And Jimbei !!?"
Hannyabal felt a cold sweat upon hearing Shiryu's words.
{They're not in their cells!!}
"We tried to trap them in there… But they outwitted us!? So are the five of them on Level 5!!?"
Hannyabal felt the fear of bearing responsibility for this; he quickly turned to a guard in the monitoring room: "Do you think I'm responsible too…!!?"
"Warden Magellan is in the middle of another assignment, so you're probably completely responsible," the guard replied, fear evident in his voice.
"All right, I'll fight too!!! All forces, return to Level 4!!!" he exclaimed.
"Sadi-chan!!!"
"Saldeath!!!"
"Gather all your subordinates and hurry to Level 4!!! Make me the warden, even if it costs you your lives!!! Oh, no, wait!!!"
After realizing his mistake, Hannyabal quickly corrected himself: "Fight them, even if it costs you your lives!!!"
•———•———•———•———•———•
"This damned bastard, Hannyabal…"
After returning to his room, Magellan opened the volume once again, unable to contain his curses under his breath after seeing Hannyabal's irritating behavior in the manga.
"If this bastard is going to be my deputy in the future, then there's no harm in appointing me as a Guardian too!"
"Did you not consider that the Straw Hat and his companions would free a prisoner who has the power to open a hole in the ceiling?"
"This is Level 6 after all; Crocodile isn't the only one capable of opening a hole in the ceiling, you fool."
"Sigh~ It seems Impel Down will be filled with incompetent people in the future…" Magellan sighed regretfully for the future state of Impel Down.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Magellan felt a malicious intent approaching him.
Without hesitation, his body quickly transformed into a purple venom, and as anticipated, a sword's energy sliced through his room's door, cutting a large portion of his chest before shattering against the concrete wall behind him, leaving a scratch.
"Who is this… Shiryu? What does this mean!?" Magellan flew into a rage and burst out of the now-split door.
Outside stood Shiryu, wielding his demonic sword, Raiu, in an offensive stance after being drawn from its sheath.
Magellan's body oozed a frightening venom that caused the ground to burn. The violent expression on his face even made Teach, who was watching the show, flinch slightly.
"Magellan, oh Magellan… we have a dark future together, why don't we settle our scores now rather than wait for the future?" With a crazed smile on his face, Shiryu spoke, truly appearing like a bloodthirsty psychopath.
"Shiryu…? Have you finally lost your mind?" A poison four-headed dragon emerged from Magellan's body; at this moment, it seemed he had lost his sanity as well.
He had accumulated many shocks since the morning of this day, suppressing them all in his heart, where today's events had caused a rise and fall in his professional life, almost ending it completely.
Now, as Shiryu presented himself on a silver platter at his doorstep, he no longer desired to suppress any more grievances in his heart.
At this moment, Magellan looked like the demon depicted in the manga, although he was twenty years younger than his manga counterpart.
A serious look appeared in Shiryu's eyes as he sensed the terrifying pressure from Magellan, a pressure that indicated he was serious as well.
"Haha! Well done! Killing wouldn't mean anything if the victim doesn't resist..." The mad smile returned to Shiryu's face.
His arm tensed, veins bulging on his muscle. His demonic sword began to glow with a dark black light; Shiryu's mastery of Haki at his current age was indeed excellent.
"Go to hell, Hydra!" Four venomous dragons emerged from Magellan's body and swiftly lunged towards where Shiryu stood.
In the moment they converged, everything would end for Shiryu.
At that moment, Shiryu unleashed his sword's attack, the blade's energy extending two meters and successfully tearing off two heads from the four heads.
"Damn it!" Shiryu wanted to attack again to intercept what remained of Hydra's heads, but he was too late; as he attempted to move to avoid the burning venom, he felt a sting in his spine and froze in place.
"Hmm?" Teach noticed something wrong with Shiryu, so he quickly intervened.
A dark power appeared in his hand, sweeping away Magellan's attack before it could hit Shiryu, causing it to vanish as if it were never there.
"Zehahaha! What an entertaining show," Teach stepped forward, applauding. He was truly enjoying the battle between the two.
"But since you're official employees of the highest level under the authority of Impel Down, fighting amongst yourselves means you're endangering the prison's safety. As Prison Warden, I have the authority to intervene and stop any conflict."
"Please cease what you're doing immediately." Teach grabbed Shiryu by the arm and pulled him away to prevent the conflict from escalating further.
Magellan glanced at the departing duo with a mocking look on his face.
"Hmph…" He turned and returned to his room, if not for the orders from the World Government's highest authority to respect the new decree, he would have crushed Teach and Shiryu here and now.

{This is Level 4.}
"They're here!!!"
{The escapee from Level 6, the Shichibukai Jimbei!!}
"The Inferno Hell, huh…?" commented Jimbei.
{The intruder, Monkey D. Luffy!!}
"It's hot…" added Luffy.
{The former Shichibukai Crocodile!!}
"..."
{They're here!!! Engaging them now!!!}
"Fire!!! Use the prison bullets!!!"
Before the prison guards could react, they were overwhelmed by Crocodile, Luffy, and Jimbei.
"Uwoh!!! Wh… What was that punch!? W… We can't fight against them!!!"
"There's a 300 Million rookie and two Shichibukai!!!"
"Don't falter!! We need to hold out until reinforcements arrive!!"

Sorbet Kingdom:
"Buwahahahaha!! My good grandson did it again! God help the guards at Impel Down!" Garp held his belly, laughing heartily at this moment.
Seeing his grandson and those with him causing chaos in Impel Down as they made their way out again filled him with extreme excitement.
Excitement he only felt in scenes like what happened in Enies Lobby.
"I can already imagine the disgusted expressions on the faces of the Five Elders at this moment." Even Dragon was excited, though his face showed no expression to suggest so.
"Go, my son, you were born to be free. Not even the strongest prison in the world can keep you inside if you want out."
"Leave, head to Marineford, and show your mettle there… even if you're weak now, I'm sure in a short time you'll become the strongest."
"They won't be able to stop you even if they gather all their strength."
Dragon pointed to the boundless sky; it seemed as though Luffy's smiling face adorned the sky at that moment.
"Your freedom is as vast as this blue sky, limitless."
Hearing that, Garp and Kuma smiled silently.
