Chapter 189: The Utterly Failed Prison Break
In the deep sea, nine coated ships floated around Impel Down.
At the bow of the Merry, the main cannon under the sheep's head extended section by section, poking through the enveloping transparent membrane, its muzzle aimed directly at the bottom wall of the prison.
"Cola-power charged! Cannon firing countdown begin!"
In the cramped control room, Franky grinned, his trembling hand hovering over a red button on the control panel.
This was the maiden voyage of his prized weapon, and he couldn't help but feel thrilled and excited!
"Three..."
"Two..."
"One... Fire!!"
Click!
With a loud shout, he slammed his palm down on the launch button!
The power system in the first-floor basement cabin rapidly operated, pushing a large amount of gas energy into the cannon!
As the violent energy gathered and accumulated, the muzzle outside seemed about to burst!
Boom!!!
A powerful impact erupted instantly! The seawater in its path was churned up, causing a fierce current, as it pierced through space and blasted a hole in the thick wall of Impel Down!
"SUUUU-PER!!"
Franky shouted excitedly, raising his two thick arms and clashing them above his head. "Although the opening is less than ten meters in diameter, as expected of Impel Down, it's still enough."
As he spoke, he operated the controls again. A gate on the side of the ship opened, and a shark-shaped submarine was pushed out through the ship's membrane.
"A submarine, huh? It feels scary."
Brook sat in the control room of the Shark Submerge, looking left and right uncomfortably.
Operating it carefully, he followed the seawater pouring into Impel Down, comforting himself:
"But to rescue everyone, I will overcome the fear in my heart. Although I am a skeleton and have no heart, yohohohoho~~."
Inside Impel Down, on the sixth underground level, Infinite Hell.
The gloomy dungeon shook violently like an earthquake. A wall was suddenly blasted open, and countless pieces of rubble shot out like cannonballs.
"What's happening?!" Hearing the commotion behind him, Garp immediately turned his head.
Before his shocked eyes, the surging seawater from outside rapidly poured in, and a dark shadow emerged from within.
Just then, the War Ogre took the opportunity to rush in front of him and kick him away, its movements not pausing for a moment as it pressed forward.
Sukuna also immediately joined the siege. Frieren and the Gun Devil frantically unleashed a large number of attacks to suppress him.
Splash!!
The shark submarine broke through the waves, rushing out of the current and crashing onto the ground. The round hatch on top opened.
Before everyone's eyes, a skeleton with an afro poked its head out!
"Yohohohoho~~, I've come to pick everyone up!!"
"Bone-ya?!"
"Is this the backup you were talking about?"
Law and Kid were still a bit bewildered.
To prevent a certain Marine mole from being a traitor, Reiner had only said there would be a backup. Only his own people knew the many details of the operation; he hadn't explained them specifically to the others.
"Brook?!"
Seeing the figure emerge from the submarine, Luffy's eyes widened in astonishment. "Were you eaten by a shark?!"
"Eaten my ass, you idiot!"
Bang!
Reiner punched him on the back of the head, yelling through gritted teeth, "Didn't I just tell you the plan this morning!!"
Ignoring Luffy, whose neck was wobbling like a spring, he quickly turned his head and shouted towards the stairwell leading to the upper level behind them:
"Sanji! Time to retreat!!"
Sanji, who was entangled with the Marines, immediately turned his head upon hearing the voice. "Got it! Nami-san, Robin-chan, let's evacuate quickly!"
"What about us, you bastard!" Usopp cursed loudly.
His hands didn't stop moving. He raised the twin guns in his hands and rapidly pulled the triggers at the ceiling.
"Behold my Sure-Kill: Star That Pierces the Ceiling!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst several violent explosions, a large amount of giant rocks, accompanied by dust and smoke, fell down, burying the entrance to the passage.
"Run! This won't hold for long!" Usopp shouted and then took off running.
The group rushed towards the submarine in a mighty procession.
"Hahaha, it seems our operation ends here," Urouge said with a laugh as he ran.
Bonney glanced at him with dissatisfaction. "You big idiot, say that after we've successfully escaped."
The group moved quickly and arrived at the submarine. Bonney was stunned for a moment looking at the small submarine:
"Just this thing? Can it carry so many of us?"
"It'll be a squeeze, but it'll work! Stop dawdling and get on!"
After Reiner spoke, he shouted to Jinbe, "Jinbe! You help carry a few people! I'll cover the rear!"
The current situation was truly a race against time. With such a big disturbance here, it was impossible for Marine Headquarters not to send an Admiral to suppress it.
Although they had advanced rapidly after breaking into Impel Down, they had been delayed by Garp for too long here.
If Kizaru were to come, with his speed, he could arrive at any moment.
They couldn't fight anymore. Regardless of the outcome, they had to leave quickly, or they might all be left behind.
"I understand," Jinbe replied, unable to help but give Reiner a second look.
Although he was a Warlord, so it wasn't strange for others to know his name, this man seemed to be very familiar with him.
But there was no time to think about such miscellaneous things. He immediately ran forward and shouted, "Ability users, get in the submarine! The rest of you, hold on to me! I'll take you out of here!"
"Wait a minute! Reiner, what about you? You're an ability user too!" Nami shouted hurriedly.
"I'll jump into the sea later. Jinbe will come to pick me up."
Reiner looked at him. "In the water, you're confident you can protect me, right?"
"I can. When the time comes, just jump without worry. Even Garp can't catch up to me in the sea," Jinbe said in a low voice.
"But..."
Nami was about to speak again, but the words wouldn't come out. A resolute look appeared in her eyes instead. "I understand. You must come back safely, Reiner."
"Mm, go quickly," Reiner replied softly.
Right now, besides him staying behind, no one else could hold off Garp.
This is really a pain. How did I not calculate that this old geezer would be in Impel Down?
Jinbe took several people with him and was the first to slip out through the hole in the wall. He would have to come back to get Reiner later.
The other ability users also began to squeeze into the submarine.
"I'm staying too!"
Luffy stood beside him, his gaze resolute as he grinned. "I'm not leaving you alone."
Bang!
Suddenly, a figure stood behind him, a karate chop landing on the back of his neck.
Luffy's pupils constricted. As a rubber man, he was actually knocked out cold!
Ace caught the collapsing Luffy and threw him towards the submarine.
Several arms sprouted out of thin air and caught Luffy. Robin took a deep look at Reiner and Ace, nodded, and then jumped into the submarine with him.
"I'll stay and help. I know Jinbe's strength. There's no difference between him picking up one person or two."
Ace walked forward, a slight curve on his lips. "Thank you for taking care of Luffy. If I caused you all harm just to be saved, I might as well have died here."
"No need. Your current condition is very poor. I'm just stalling Garp, not fighting him to the death," Reiner said, refusing him.
"It's not just the old man. You haven't trained your Observation Haki yet, have you?"
Ace's gaze shifted to the rear, his expression becoming grave. "Magellan is here. It will be difficult for you to deal with both of them at the same time. Not to mention, an Admiral is probably about to arrive. Listen, Reiner—"
Ace looked at him, a gentle smile suddenly appearing on his face.
"I'm very grateful to you all. Not just for coming to save me, but I'm also very relieved that Luffy has you all by his side. When Jinbe comes later, you go. I'll cover your rear. In the future, I'm counting on you to take care of Luffy."
Magellan is awake? Reiner looked at him without speaking.
Even with all four of his undead at full power, he couldn't suppress Garp. He indeed couldn't handle both of them at the same time.
"It seems this prison break is a complete failure."
He let out a long sigh. By now, the seawater had already spread throughout the dungeon, flooding up to their ankles.
Seeing that everyone else was on the submarine, Reiner walked over, his arm veins bulging as he lifted it with one arm.
He walked to the wall and threw it forcefully towards the hole where water was constantly pouring in!
Boom!!
At the same time, a commotion came from the collapsed stairwell in the distance.
Magellan, venom continuously seeping from his body, walked out slowly with a grim face.
"Black Snake Reiner, you will absolutely not take Ace away today."
