In the instant the elevator doors opened, the prison guards opened fire.
However, their bullets and shells hit a smooth white wall!
This was a wax shield created by Mr. 3ās ability, an extra-large and thick version. It was hard and soft at the same time, providing excellent cushioning. Surprisingly, the bullets and shells couldnāt penetrate the wax shield; they were all stuck inside.
Originally, Luffy wanted to use his rubber ability to block these bullets, but Ian didnāt agree. He knew that Impel Down was equipped with Seastone bullets to deal with Devil Fruit users. Although the quantity might not be large, who knew if Magellanās mobilized forces had such weapons? If they did, Luffy acting as a shield against bullets would be like delivering himself to the enemy.
Fortunately, among the people Ian brought, there was Mr. 3. The abilities of Devil Fruit users could be quite effective if used in the right place.
Due to nervousness, many guards fired several shots in succession. However, when they realized that it was all in vain, they gradually stopped.
At this moment, the wax shield at the elevator door suddenly shattered and collapsed. Then, a dark object, with a whistling sound, flew out of the elevator.
It was a heavy wolf fang club spinning and whistling as it flew directly into the formation of the guard forces. The suddenness of this wolf fang club caused many to be caught off guard, directly sending them flying.
For a while, the guards of Impel Down wailed in misery.
āHehe, sorry, my hand slipped!ā
A woman with heavy makeup, alluring and well-proportioned, walked out of the elevator. Of course, it was Alvida. Although she apologized verbally, judging by her appearance, there was no remorse in her eyes.
āWow, so beautiful!ā Many of the guards, upon seeing this woman, couldnāt help but be captivated.
Alvida seemed to enjoy such looks and couldnāt help but coquettishly flip her hair.
However, as the people came out of the elevator one after another, the guards couldnāt help but exclaim, āAn even more beautiful one has come!ā
Needless to say, what they saw was Nami. At this moment, although Nami was still wearing Boa Hancockās clothes, the wig on her head had been removed, revealing her orange hair.
Alvida was infuriated by the guardsā attitude and couldnāt help but grab a double-bladed axe from a nearby prisoner, then swung it towards the crowd.
Her Slip-Slip Fruit was known for zero friction, so even with minimal effort, she could easily throw a heavy weapon. Not to mention, she was already a powerhouse herself.
However, the axe she threw for the second time was easily slapped away by a fist!
Magellan took action. After knocking away the axe, he couldnāt help but shout at the guard forces, āFools, they are the enemy! What are you thinking?ā
āSoā¦ so tall!ā Watching Magellanās massive figure, Luffy and the others couldnāt help but look up at him.
The prisoners, especially after seeing Magellan, appeared even more intimidated. Their legs trembled, but because Ian was present, they had to grit their teeth and endure.
As for Ian, after coming out of the elevator, he had been busy taking off his clothes!
āSo hot, so hot! I canāt stand it!ā Ian took off his Marine Vice Admiral coat in three quick movements, but still felt like he was in an oven.
This Level 4 Blazing Hell was hotter than the Starvation hell of Level 3 because, in Level 3, the heat was at least only radiating upwards. However, in Level 4, they were directly above a pool of magma.
After coming out of the elevator, Ian and the others were on a broad bridge built above the magma pool. At this point, the sensation of heat was even more direct.
Although Ian is a fire user, and the heat of the Black Dragon Wave was higher than this magma, the problem was that the two were entirely different. The Black Dragon Wave was Ianās own ability, and it didnāt have much impact on him. However, this magma pool affected the entire environment.
Not only Ian was undressing, but all the others who couldnāt stand the heat were also doing the same. For example, Nami. She threw away Boa Hancockās clothes, revealing her bikini and thigh-high shorts. While undressing, Sanji and Brook immediately stared lecherously, making āOhhhā sounds. However, this behavior earned them Namiās powerful suppression, with each of them receiving a harsh punch in their heads.
Lawās subordinate, Bepo, couldnāt help but glance as well. When Nami noticed him, she pointed at him and said, āEven a bear dares to peek at me!?ā
Bepo was immediately struck down, lowering his head and saying, āS-Sorryā¦ā
Seeing this, Ian quickly turned his head away, pretending as if nothing happened, and took out a bear ear hat from his pocket, putting it on.
Returning to his familiar attire, Ian felt a bit more comfortable. Although it was still hot, he had no choice. He had to wear the bear ear hat.
āYou are really the Black Dragon Shichibukai, Ian?ā Magellan looked down at Ian and recognized the hat.
āMagellan, the Prison Warden, Iāve heard a lot about you!ā Ian lifted his head while holding the hilt of his sword. āBut youāve blocked my path by bringing people here!ā
āRidiculous! This is my territory!ā Magellan pointed at the ground. A drop of deep purple liquid fell to the ground from his finger, making a sizzling sound. āI donāt care if youāre a Shichibukai or not. Dare to cause trouble here, donāt blame me for being impolite!ā
Ian looked at the corrosive venom that fell on the ground, emitting smoke, and then glanced at the liquid film that had appeared on Magellanās body.
This was a sign that Magellan was about to take action. Not only Ianās group but also the guard forces realized it.
The next moment, the guards present suddenly panicked. Magellanās potent poison even instilled fear in his subordinates. Seeing he was about to engage in combat, they were worried about being affected and immediately scattered, with some guards running away while shouting, āWarden! Waitā¦ wait a moment before starting!ā
However, Magellan paid no heed. He suddenly took a deep breath, and his entire abdomen swelled up.
āSpread out!ā Ian immediately shouted. Luffy, Zoro, Law, and the others, all quickly realized the situation and swiftly moved away from Ian.
āPoison Blowfish!ā
As everyone scattered, Magellan suddenly aimed at Ianās position and spat out several deep purple venomous bubbles in quick succession!
The number of these venomous bubbles was quite large, about seven or eight, almost simultaneously attacking Ian, faintly enclosing him.
Ian unsheathed the Senbonzakura, and black flames immediately surged up the entire blade. Then, Ian leaped into the air, and the Senbonzakura traced a circle of black arcing flames in front of him.
ā100 Shiki Oniyaki!ā
Ian used the Black demonic flame of Hieiās card to unleash the ultimate move of Ioriās card. This was, of course, a new attempt. However, after advancing to the Grandmaster-level Nen practitioner, such attempts came easily to Ian.
Almost at the same time, all the venomous bubbles were flicked by the flames on Ianās blade. They couldnāt even come close to his body.
However, the next moment, Ian realized he had made a mistake. Although his flames indeed had a miraculous effect on the venomous bubbles, what he didnāt expect was that these bubbles were not incinerated by his flames. Instead, they vaporized instantly upon contact due to the high temperature!
As a result, the venomous bubbles immediately transformed into poisonous gas, spreading around Ian.
āOh no!ā Ian felt dizzy as he inhaled a breath of poisonous gas. Quickly, he activated the Double Heaven Return Shield of Orihimeās card, enveloping himself in a protective shield.
The rejecting force of the shield instantly cleared the dizziness caused by the inhaled poison for Ian. However, the shield could only cover Ian alone. Seeing the purple mist spreading in all directions, Ian immediately warned everyone, āBe careful! Go get gas masks!ā
Hearing Ianās instructions, everyone panicked and hurriedly followed Ianās orders, attempting to run past Magellan on both sides. Luckily, the opposite side was the guardroom, where gas masks would surely be available.
Trafalgar Law was also among them, running forward while covering his nose. Although he could heal from such poisoning given some time, as a doctor, he lacked the skill in his Devil Fruit ability to directly eliminate toxins, so he needed a gas mask.
Chopper was in the same boat. Although his backpack contained many medicines, as soon as he smelled the gas, he immediately discerned the complexity of the neurotoxin. It was a sophisticated poison, and he also needed time to prepare the antidote.
So, the group of people tried to bypass Magellan on both sides to rush past himā¦
