Chapter 66 Impel Down Jailbreak Incident (8)
"Hey everyone, I apologize for the lack of new chapters over the past few days. Unfortunately, heavy rain, power outages, and no internet made it difficult to upload."

45 minutes after the Impel Down jailbreak
From Impel Down LV4 to LV1, corpses of guards and prisoners littered the ground. Aside from this, there was no movement—only a deathly silence, akin to a true hell.
On the sea level, the bloody fighting continued, but the outcome had been decided...
Hannyabal, the deputy warden, lay on the ground covered in blood, his eyes rolled back. The only thing standing between the prisoners and freedom was the entrance door.
"Come on, brothers!"
"There won't be any Marines waiting for us outside..."
"Stop jinxing it! Let's rush out first and talk later..."
"Even if the Marines are out there, I'll beat them and head back to the sea..."
"Crunch..."
The huge prison door was pushed open by everyone's combined efforts, revealing a light the prisoners had longed to see for an unknown period.
Then came the blue sky and white clouds, only seen in dreams, and the liberating sea air surrounding them.
The smell of the ocean made all the prisoners kneel and cry with joy.
"Woooooo, I can finally see the sun outside..."
"We escaped...escaped..."
"Hey...wait...why are there no warships..."
"Idiot, isn't it good that there are no Marines?"
"But how do we leave Impel Down without a warship..."
This sudden realization stunned the pirates who had been crying with joy, leaving them bewildered as they stared at the empty sea.
Yes, this was the Calm Belt. How could they escape without Marine warships?
This was the lair of the Sea Kings.
"Ah..."
"What's going on? We finally escaped. Are we going back to that hell?"
"No way! If this continues, we'll be captured again when the Marines arrive..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The original hope of freedom was crushed by despair, and some pirates began to cry.
At that moment, a pirate shouted.
"Don't panic, everyone. Since Lord Gnar released us, he will definitely find a way."
"Lord Gnar? Who is that?"
Many prisoners had just been released from LV3, LV2, and LV1 and didn't even know about Gnar's existence.
The prisoners from LV4 and LV5 quickly explained.
Impel Down's jailbreak mastermind. The benefactor who saved them from hell. Capable of commanding terrifying beings like Baloric Redfield, Douglas Bullet, and the San Juan Wolf. He personally stopped the Magellan monster to give them a chance.
Hearing this, the prisoners' despair turned back into hope.
At that moment, a golden light appeared in the sky. The prisoner at the front raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight and looked into the distance.
"Hey, what is that?"
The prisoners looked in the direction pointed out and saw a ray of golden light on the distant sea growing brighter.
"Wrong..."
Before the prisoners could react, the golden light hit the bridge corridor at the entrance of Impel Down. More than ten prisoners were blown away and fell into the bottomless sea below.
The prisoners behind them subconsciously stepped back.
"What...what's going on?"
"What is this?"
As the prisoners tried to understand what was happening, footsteps echoed from the explosion's smoke, followed by an out-of-tune voice.
"Moshi Moshi, please report to Marshal Sengoku that I have arrived at Impel Down. It seems I made it just in time."
As the words fell, a tall man in a Marine Admiral uniform, looking somewhat disheveled, walked out of the smoke with a phone in his hand.
Most of the prisoners didn't recognize the man, but his rank was clear. Fear spread across their faces, and they began to retreat slowly.
"Big... Admiral!"
"It's the Marines!!!"
The mere presence of a Marine Admiral made the prisoners tremble with fear.
The phone bug continued to speak.
"I understand. What's the situation at Impel Down?"
"It doesn't look good. It seems to have been overrun by prisoners!"
"...I see. Kizaru, as Marshal Sengoku, I give you the authority to suppress the Impel Down riot by any means necessary. Aokiji and Garp are also en route."
"As you command, Marshal Sengoku!"
As he hung up the phone and put it away, Kizaru's slightly old face turned serious. He looked at the group of prisoners and spoke lightly.
"This is quite scary. There are so many of you. Well, could you all please return to your cells?"
Of course, this was impossible.
"Are you kidding...it took so much effort to escape..."
"So what if you're a Marine Admiral?"
"You're just one person, and there are so many of us..."
"Come on, everyone, let's kill this Marine Admiral..."
Gunshots rang out. In response, Kizaru raised his fingers, and a golden light flashed at his fingertips...
Impel Down, a confidential archive room on the sea level
This was where all prisoner information and secret files were stored.
Bullet and Redfield, who had followed Gnar here, looked around curiously.
Bullet, clearly impatient, asked as he watched Gnar rummage through cabinet after cabinet.
"Kid, what are you doing here?"
Redfield, meanwhile, grew interested in some documents scattered on the ground.
"Justice, of course!"
"Justice!"
Bullet chuckled. Just as he was about to say something contemptuous, Gnar suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Found it!"
"What?"
Both of them came over to take a look and found a list of Impel Down prisoner transfers.
They couldn't see anything strange about it.
However, Redfield knew Gnar wouldn't do anything useless.
Bullet asked directly.
"What's the use?"
Gnar smiled and said something that surprised both of them.
"The Marines and World Government have always wanted to develop secret weapons to control the seas, including artificial Devil Fruits, human enlargement, creation of life, Devil Fruit awakening, and more.
So, they've built many secret research bases across the sea.
These biological weapon research bases aren't recorded by the Log Pose, and the only way to find them is through these secret files. Since experiments need subjects, there's no better pool than the prisoners in Impel Down."
Hearing this, even Bullet and Redfield frowned.
"That's really disgusting!"
"Hahaha, aren't they always this disgusting? In the name of justice, they commit acts more evil than pirates."
Gnar didn't care. After storing the documents, he noticed the screams outside and spoke.
"It's time for us to show up, or all my dear subordinates will be killed, and that would be a headache..."
