**Chapter 179: Impel Down Warden Aises**
Inside the Warden's Office on Impel Down Level 4, a strong Elder suddenly raised his head, stood up from his seat, and frowned!
"Trouble is here."
His face was extremely grim.
He felt one terrifying aura after another, one Strongman after another with terrifying strength.
Although he didn't know who the enemies were, they had already invaded Impel Down.
Even facing so many Strongmen, he didn't show any panic.
He had absolute confidence in his own strength.
In this Impel Down, he was invincible, no matter how many enemies he faced.
This was the current Impel Down Warden, Aises.
Everyone in the entire Impel Down was connected by his ability.
He could sense anything that happened.
Now, several connection lines had broken and disappeared, and Aises knew exactly what that meant.
It meant the Jailers connected to his ability had sacrificed themselves.
As for the location, it was on Level 1.
He picked up a Den Den Mushi, intending to open it, but the Den Den Mushi didn't react at all.
It had completely fainted from the mental shock of Conqueror's Haki and couldn't be woken up even if called.
"Damn it! Who is it?!" Aises gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly, making a "grinding" sound.
Those who knew Aises understood that this Elder, who had guarded Impel Down for nearly half a century, was angry.
Impel Down was undoubtedly his face.
As the Impel Down Warden, he bore inescapable responsibility for any problems or upheavals that occurred in Impel Down.
He had diligently guarded Impel Down for over forty years, and he was nearly seventy years old, not far from retirement.
He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen during his tenure.
He would capture the invading enemies at all costs and would absolutely not spare them.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a loud bang, the entire Prison seemed to tremble.
"Not good!" Aises's face changed.
He quickly rushed out of the Office.
Now the target of those Invaders was Infinite Hell!
Coming outside, there was no sound.
Jailers lay fallen on the ground one by one.
However, some were still standing, not having fallen.
"Warden." Facing the sudden Haki attack, they seemed not to have fully recovered.
Some clutched their heads, others used their weapons to support themselves on the ground, or leaned against the wall.
Seeing Aises come out, their eyes couldn't help but show joy.
Aises was their backbone!
His prestige in Impel Down was unmatched.
Although they didn't know who the enemies were, they all knew clearly that a major upheaval had occurred in Impel Down.
The first time could be called an accident, but the second time was already a fact.
"There are Invaders on Aboveground Level 1. The Den Den Mushi are unresponsive. The entire Impel Down has lost contact. You all go to each level and gather the Jailers who can still fight, and block the Invaders at Underground Level 2."
Aises said in a deep voice, "At the same time, have Black seal off all Passages in Impel Down."
With the command given, Aises rushed towards the Underground Level 4 Elevator, preparing to go directly to Beast Hell on Underground Level 2.
The remaining Jailers exchanged glances, reacted, and quickly began to act according to Aises's orders.
Their execution was strong.
Some followed Aises towards Beast Hell, while others went to other levels.
Soon, the alarm was activated, and the Red Alert echoed throughout the entire Impel Down, warning the Jailers on each level.
On Aboveground Level 1, a tall man wearing a black Jailer uniform looked at the figures before him, his eyes showing fear.
"Ro... Rocks!"
"How could this be?"
Impel Down Vice-Warden Black looked at the figures before him.
He simply couldn't believe that the enemies before him were Rocks D.
Xebec.
And Shiki "The Golden Lion," and Titan "Glutton."
A full three terrifying Monsters renowned throughout the World.
Although Impel Down was self-contained, this didn't mean Impel Down didn't know what was happening on The Great Sea.
They were well aware of the Marines' plight and the World Government's defeat and losses.
During the war, the World Government even considered mobilizing Impel Down's defensive forces, which were them, to participate in the war against the Rocks Pirates, but this proposal was later abolished and did not pass.
Compared to the war, Impel Down's duty was equally important.
Thinking of the Rocks Pirates invading Impel Down, Black's body began to break out in a cold sweat.
Moreover, there weren't just three Top Tier Combatants invading.
On Level 1, not far from them, the steel-hard ground was blasted into a Giant Pit by overbearing power.
Someone had already taken an unconventional route, going directly to the next level.
However, this had nothing to do with him.
His gaze was entirely fixed on the three figures of Rocks.
With a "whoosh," Shiki moved, his figure swiftly cutting through the air, killing towards the powerful Jailer blocking their path.
No matter what, just kill them, as long as they dared to stand in their way.
Black felt terrifying pressure.
Any one of the three Monsters before him was not someone he could easily handle.
A fatal sharpness.
He flashed to avoid it.
Shiki's slash missed, and in an instant, it was followed by a frantic and all-encompassing attack.
His twin blades, transformed into "Black Blades," were coated with sword intent that could cut through everything.
Facing Shiki, who was already skilled in speed, Black could only confront him head-on, finding it difficult to evade.
Just one Shiki made it so difficult for him, requiring him to respond with full strength and invest a lot of energy.
And he seemed to have forgotten that Shiki was not the only enemy present.
Black raised his arms, coated with Haki, to block Shiki's two slashes.
His feet sank into the ground under Shiki's powerful strength.
Suddenly, a shadow enveloped his body.
By the time he reacted, it was too late.
"Heavens Capital!"
Haki burning like fire flowed on the hammer.
With overbearing power, a terrifying hammer blow directly smashed onto Black's brain.
Under Shiki's suppression, he couldn't evade at all, let alone make effective defensive movements.
This fatal hammer blow nearly caused Black to faint instantly.
His body suffered heavy damage, especially his brain, which directly faced the blow.
Even the Haki protecting his body couldn't be maintained for an instant.
The key point of this action was speed.
As Pirates, they wouldn't play fair one-on-one combat.
Seizing the opportunity, Shiki immediately followed up with a slash.
Without Haki defense, Black, this Strongman comparable to a Top Tier Combatant, was merely a fragile target, easily pierced through the heart.
Vice-Warden Black, one of Impel Down's pillars, died just like that.
It wasn't that his strength was weak, but that the enemies were simply too strong and didn't fight fairly.
One must know that Rocks had not even made a move yet.
From the moment he encountered Rocks and the others, his Destiny was already sealed.
