Chapter 178: Impel Down
"That settles it, but how exactly should we proceed?"
Rocks immediately made the decision.
Hades' idea was very appealing to him.
"Let's raid it.
"
Hades didn't need to think about this.
Impel Down is not far from Marine Headquarters, and reinforcements can arrive at any time, so the faster, the better.
"Go directly to Impel Down and attack.
As long as the force sent is powerful enough, Kosa can be rescued in the shortest time possible.
"
"As long as the Marines and the World Government don't receive news, and one person is sent to block the Gates of Justice between Marine Headquarters and Impel Down, the operation cannot fail.
"
To be honest, Impel Down's guarding force is at most one Top Tier Combatant; there couldn't be more.
How could it resist in front of the Rocks Pirate Crew?
"Don't we need to send someone near the Red Line to attract the attention of the World Government and the Marines?"
"No need.
"
"Actually, we can act now.
"
"Who?"
"Me, Titan, the Captain, plus Shiki and Byrnndi World should come too.
"
Byrnndi World joined the Rocks Pirate Crew later and hasn't participated in major operations yet.
His destructive power will also play a significant role in this operation.
Five Top Tier Combatant, nearly half of the Rocks Pirate Crew's Top Tier Combatant.
For Impel Down, this force is completely excessive.
The most important point for them is speed and time.
Naturally, the stronger the force, the better.
Five Top Tier Combatant are completely sufficient.
Since they decided to act, it must succeed.
There is no room for even a hint of failure.
"Then it's decided.
" Rocks was a man of action.
It was time to give the World Government a shock from the sky.
Impel Down, also known as "Impel Down", the world's number one prison, is located in the Calm Belt in the First Half of the Grand Line, with extremely strict security.
Its overall structure is a tower submerged in the sea, with its base below the Sea Surface.
Because this prison was built in the Calm Belt, located in a Sea King nest, surrounded by Sea Kings, it is guarded by a fleet.
Within the dark Area of the prison, there are various Prison Cell and torture rooms for prisoners.
These Prison Cell are mixed with Seastone to prevent Ability User from escaping.
Surveillance Den Den Mushi are placed at specific locations throughout Impel Down.
Whatever they see is transmitted to a larger Surveillance Den Den Mushi, which sends video to monitors connected to it, allowing Guard to monitor.
Each smaller Den Den Mushi has an alarm buzzer connected to its shell.
Coupled with the powerful Guard inside Impel Down, this gives Impel Down the title of "Impenetrable Fortress".
It is said that no Pirate or Criminal has ever escaped since its establishment.
But who knows?
Today, this largest prison welcomed some unwelcome guests.
On Titan's back, Hades looked down at the giant fortress below.
"The security is really tight.
"
This is Impel Down.
Except for the layer on the Sea Surface, most of it is covered by seawater.
Impel Down has only one entrance and one exit, which is that steel gate.
Warships Guard in front of Impel Down.
If they want to attack Impel Down, this fleet will be the first obstacle they face.
Although there are no Marine Vice Admiral, those capable of being stationed at Impel Down are not weak.
Perhaps they already possess the combatant strength of a Marine Vice Admiral, just staying here for a couple of years to gain experience and merit.
"Tight? Aren't we going in now?" Shiki joked.
In his eyes, Impel Down's so-called strong defense was simply not worth mentioning.
While they chatted, in the Infinite Hell on Impel Down's Underground Level 6, in a Prison Cell at the very deepest part.
In the dark, damp Prison Cell, a middle-aged man leaned against the wall.
His hands and feet were wrapped in Seastone handcuffs, and his wrists and ankles were nailed with Seastone nails.
As if sensing something, the man's body couldn't help but move slightly, and the Seastone chains made a crisp sound.
It echoed in the silent Infinite Hell.
Pairs of tightly closed eyes opened.
To reduce the consumption of energy and the loss of stamina, these people moved as little as possible.
Looking towards the Prison Cell that made the sound, a look of fear flashed in their eyes.
"That Monster actually moved, is something going to happen?"
"Could it be that he wants to escape?"
Those sent to Infinite Hell are all extraordinary individuals, either death row inmates or those serving life imprisonment.
The Criminal imprisoned are Monster Pirate too vicious to be erased from history.
The prisoners on this level are near-legendary level figures, whose fate is either the death penalty or life imprisonment.
Because the prisoners on this level committed numerous heinous acts, some incidents exceeding the bounds of cruelty were covered up by the government, even deliberately hidden from newspapers.
Their intuition was very sharp, seemingly sensing something.
That Person in the deepest Prison Cell moved, which was unusual.
Their somewhat restless hearts stirred.
Although there were no other movements, this did not prevent them from speculating.
In terms of seniority, no one in the entire Impel Down could compare to That Person.
Mainly, it was just too boring.
If they didn't talk for a long time, they would go crazy.
In another adjacent Prison Cell in the depths, a tall, strong figure sat on a steel bench.
His tightly closed eyes opened, then closed again.
It didn't attract too much attention from others.
Compared to That Person in the depths who was half-dead, he was Impel Down's key surveillance target.
Surveillance Den Den Mushi monitored him from all angles without blind spots.
Under the dark shadow, unnoticed, a smile appeared on his lips.
He felt a familiar aura.
"Begin the plan.
"
They had already planned the time.
The unknown Impel Down Warden and Impel Down's other Combatant were left for Rocks, Shiki, and Titan to handle.
Byrnndi World and Hades would go together to rescue the person first.
"Boom!"
The tightly closed steel gate was directly smashed by a fist coated with Conqueror's Haki.
The huge sound shook the entire prison.
Whether it was the Impel Down Jailer or the Pirate Criminal locked in Prison Cell, their brains instantly cleared up.
In their memory, Impel Down had never experienced such a commotion.
What did this mean? It meant there was an upheaval in Impel Down.
A glimmer of hope rose in their calm hearts, and their brains quickly became active.
Compared to some Jailer and Pirate who didn't know what was happening, the vicious Pirate in Infinite Hell were the first to react.
One by one, they stood up, their bodies moving close to the edge of their Prison Cell, their gaze fixed on the entrance connecting the fifth and sixth levels, seemingly filled with some expectation.
The Impel Down Jailer, especially those on the first level, reacted first, grabbing their weapons and charging towards the gate.
However, golden slash after golden slash completely engulfed them, utterly unable to hinder Hades and their actions.
Terrifying aura burst forth simultaneously, shocking countless Pirate and Jailer caught in the crossfire.
The Den Den Mushi were stunned instantly, and monitoring was cut off.
At the same time, invisible fluctuations shielded all signals throughout the entire Impel Down, cutting off any channel for communication with the outside World.
