Prison Breakers

Of course, even if he knew the future of Ember, Longinus wouldn't be stupid enough to run off and tell Jarvis that your men will defect to his future insurrection and get rid of him!

If Longinus did, he might be the first to get himself killed.

However, that doesn't mean that this information is useless.

At least, Longinus could tell that Ember had a great deal of dissatisfaction with the status quo, especially for Magellan's position as Vice Warden.

"Maybe the future Ember decided to defect because Magellan became Chief Warden, and if that's the case, his inner resentment and discontent might be able to be guided."

"So, the prison wardens are the five of you?" Longinus then asked.

"Well, there was supposed to be another one, but unfortunately, he ran into the escaped Shiki and died heroically after a fierce struggle." Magellan lamented.

Longinus nodded, but if he didn't have this stark contrast, Hannyabal wouldn't have been handcuffed at this critical juncture.

"One thing I'm confused about, even if Shiki's escape was an incentive for those prisoners, the big prison is heavily guarded, even the cells are made of Kairoseki, so escaping shouldn't be an easy task, right?" Longinus asked curiously.

"Most of the ones who escaped from prison are minor characters who are instead more likely to hide their abilities because they are not worth paying attention to," Magellan remarked, suddenly looking pale.

(PS: Like Buggy being able to break out of prison by hiding his abilities, which means that big prisons aren't supposed to be very cautious when it comes to detaining the minor characters).

"We don't particularly care about these people, with their strength, even if they cause a riot, they can quickly calm down. What we're anxious about is whether or not the fourth and fifth levels also have prisoners who have hidden their abilities, once a riot is triggered on these two levels, things will become much more difficult."

"The fourth and fifth levels are too far from the exit to make matters worse, and if they continue down and release those prisoners on the sixth level, things will become truly unmanageable."

"So, our main task is to check and find out which prisoners are hiding their abilities when they enter prison?" Longinus asked.

"The job of checking out the prisoners is naturally left to those guards, and our job is to guard against prisoners who have hidden their abilities and become desperate enough to go on a rampage."

Longinus nodded. He sort of understood why Impel Down was low on manpower.

If the guards were to take Kairoseki handcuffs and screen them carefully, they would have to open the cell door, and if they weren't there to watch over the high-ranking prisoners, they might instead give the prisoners a chance.

They said along the way and soon arrived at their destination, pushing open the door to a spacious and bright twin penthouse on the second level, which was somewhat out of place with the atmosphere of Impel Down.

"Here we are, this is the room occupied by the previous warden, and while it certainly doesn't compare to the conditions at Marine Headquarters, it's already one of the best accommodations at Impel Down." Magellan introduced.

"Vice Warden Magellan is too kind, and I am very pleased."

"That's good. I'll leave you to rest. I'll see you tomorrow."

"I'll see you tomorrow."

Longinus closed the door, sat himself down on the couch, and began to compile the information he had gained today.

"The strongest in the Impel Down is Chief Warden Jarvis, who is said to have the power of an Admiral. Next are Magellan, Shiryu, and Ember, who seem to have entered Impel Down three years ago."

"In that case, the three of them may currently be stronger than Gion plus Tokikake, but they should be limited in strength overall, and should be in the same range as me at this stage. Of course, more time is needed to test that."

"After all, if I was a headquarter Rear Admiral level a year ago, now it is almost the normal headquarter Vice Admiral level. Of course, it is well known that Vice Admiral has too much water."

"As for Hannyabal, he may not be as good as the Warden Beast. I don't know how he got into the position of Chief Guard."

"After analyzing all that, it's about thinking through what I intend to accomplish in this operation."

"First, find a way to kill more prisoners and have the Sword of the Seven Stars consume their souls, much life force can still be achieved by sucking flesh and blood of the sea-kings, but sinful souls are hardened to find a similar place. Second, try to befriend Magellan and have Jarvis recognize my abilities, both for the present and the future, it will be of great benefit. "

"To achieve both of these goals, you can achieve both through a riot."

"But with the power of Impel Down, it won't be easy to start a riot that's under control and yet leaves them with no time for me."

"If I'm blindly impulsive, it would be easy to expose my ambition instead, and that wouldn't be worth the loss."

"So, you still have to be careful about experimenting, and when you see something is wrong, you give up quickly to get out of it, there's no need to risk too much for something like that."

Having made up his mind, Longinus relaxed.

He desires this goal, but won't force it, and will learn to give up when the risks outweigh the benefits.

The night passed quickly.

Whoop, whoop, whoop.

"Is that an alarm?" Longinus, who was still in the room, frowned slightly. Was this another prison break?

"Attention, Attention. Prisoner 'Giant Baloo', who disappeared from mixed cell 5 in LEVEL 3, appeared in the aisle in front of the single-cell 23. The nearby wardens and jailers are requested to go and apprehend him as soon as possible."

"It was one or two levels before, and now even the third level has fugitives on it, is it the actions of the jailers that give them urgency, or is there some special connection?" Longinus walked out of the room casually, not thinking of chasing the fugitive, this was a deep-sea prison where countless pirates were held, and a prisoner on the third floor was trying to escape. Did he think he was Buggy?

Of course, the main reason is that he doesn't know the way ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ.

The shrill alarm from Den Den Mushi was soon dispelled. And perhaps to deter the other pirates, Den Den Mushi also broadcast a bit of battle news, "The escaped prisoner 'Giant Baloo', who met the Chief Guard of Shiryu during his escape, has been confirmed dead, and the alarm has been lifted. "

"Met Shiryu? Then he's unlucky!" Longinus lightly chuckled as he walked out of the room, remembering that yesterday Magellan had mentioned that Chief Warden Jarvis was in charge of guarding the Eternal Hell of LEVEL 6. He was in charge of keeping down the Freezing Hell of LEVEL 5, and that Head Jailer Ember was in charge of the Blazing Hell of LEVEL 4 and the last three levels of hells that were covered by Chief Guard Shiryu.

Incidentally, Shiryu has initially been only in charge of LEVEL 3's Starvation Hell. Still, when the prison captain guarding LEVEL 2 died, and Hannyabal of LEVEL 1 was too unreliable, Shiryu took the initiative to expand his hunting ground to these three levels of hell.

This "Giant Baloo" apparently happened to run into Shiryu, who was killing on the third level, and then he was tragically killed.

"Ensign Longinus, Chief Warden, has asked me to inform you to attend a meeting in the Chief's office at nine o'clock." The guards that guarding the door reported.

"Thank you very much, I understand." Longinus smiled casually.

Within a few steps, he saw the lift door in front of him open, and Shiryu, who was wiping the blood from it, stepped out.

"Ensign Longinus, did you sleep well last night, and I hope the night's wailing doesn't make it hard for you to sleep!"
