Chapter 166 Shiryu of the Rain
"You want to do that kind of thing again... Shiryu!"
Magellan looked grim, not only because of Shiryu's actions, but also because he was having diarrhea when he received a message from the navy.
The Marine Headquarters and Impel Down are not in a superior-subordinate relationship. Including Enies Lobby, the three are on the same level in terms of authority and are all directly commanded by the World Government.
Theoretically speaking, Magellan's status was equivalent to that of Marshal Sengoku, so he did not need to personally receive naval personnel.
But this time, it was a high-ranking official from the World Government who ordered him to cooperate fully with that person's actions. The wording was very official; in layman's terms, it meant…
Just do whatever that guy says, as long as he doesn't demolish Impel Down.
……
Magellan had heard of Allen, who was able to defeat Shanks and his crew and end the Beehive Island pirate paradise; his strength was undeniable.
But is it really worth the higher-ups treating us like this? It's not like we killed the Pirate Emperor.
What he didn't know was...
Since making that decision, Allen has been different in the eyes of the Five Elders.
This is a future colleague who will inevitably be brought under Im's command to control the Navy. In order to increase his dependence on and identification with the World Government, some privileges can be given in advance.
……
The Five Elders' plot to control Allen wasn't because they disliked him; rather, it was because they admired him so much and considered him so important that they wanted to possess him completely.
……
-
However, upon seeing Allen carrying two swords, Magellan misunderstood the reason why the higher-ups would act this way.
Golden Lion inflicted great damage on the Navy, and it also caused considerable damage to Impel Down!
The first Impel Down escapee in history...
What a humiliating thing this is!
When he brought Shanks here, he was criticized for this, which shows how many people have used this as a basis to attack Impel Down over the years.
……
Magellan secretly resolved to find an opportunity to properly thank Allen later, to thank him for washing away the shame of Impel Down.
Just as I was thinking this, I led my men to the cell where Hancock was being held, and this happened!
……
Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Magellan with a forced smile: "Warden Magellan, I remember one of the original intentions of building Impel Down was to prevent Devil Fruits from falling into the hands of even more uncontrollable people after killing Devil Fruit users, right?"
"It seems this isn't the first time something like this has happened..."
"Are you treating the criminals our navy is risking our lives to capture like toys for you to kill?"
……
Compared to Vice Admiral Tsuru, who still had the mood to criticize Magellan, Shakky, who had come along, rushed in and hugged the pale-faced Hancock.
"Hancock, are you alright?!"
"Shaki... what happened to you... and Grandma New, Sanda..."
Hancock looked around and could only think of one possibility.
Despair welled up in her beautiful eyes.
"You guys...were you also dragged in by that guy?!"
……
"No... Anyway, we've come to rescue you, we can go now!"
Shakky gently stroked Hancock's face, her heart aching with tenderness.
In her eyes, Hancock was almost no different from her own daughter, looking at that noticeably thinner face...
Give me the key!
Suppressing her anger, Xia Qi turned her head and spoke in a deep voice.
……
"What... what's going on?"
Sensing that the killing intent that had locked onto him had faded, Shiryu turned to Magellan and asked.
Magellan's face darkened. "I'll settle the score with you later. Give her the key!"
……
Shiryu hesitated for a moment, then said with a sinister smile, "Inspector Magellan, before you release such a notorious criminal, at least show me the documents above."
"Impatiens isn't your personal fiefdom; you can't just release people whenever you want!"
……
brush--
The chilling blade grazed Shiryu's face, severing a corner of his hat brim.
bang-
The special seastone chains binding Hancock were shattered in one strike!
……
Shiryu's pupils contracted sharply, and a bead of cold sweat rolled down his cheek.
How is that possible... Even I can't break a chain made of that purity of sea stone!!
……
"Warden Magellan, what are your plans for dealing with this guy?"
Allen put down his sword and asked calmly.
Magellan took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "I will imprison Shiryu and give the Navy an explanation!"
"What did you say?!"
Shiryu suddenly sprang to his feet, roaring, "What a joke! Magellan, who do you think you are?!"
"And you lot! I know you, I'm going to report this to the World Government! Who gave you permission to release criminals without authorization?!"
"Once they're in Impel Down, they're part of Impel Down!"
"I'm the warden!!"
……
"What's the use of reasoning? I just want to try my hand at swordsmanship."
Allen drew another sword and said calmly, "Come on, you look like you're not going to back down."
……
No… I’m giving Magellan that look, why are you getting involved…
The murderous intent just now was too terrifying; Shiryu hesitated, his hand gripping the knife.
Seeing his hesitation, Allen smiled.
"How about this... you win, and I'll guarantee you won't be imprisoned, okay?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shiryu moved.
Without any warning, the stone bricks beneath his feet shattered, and his figure vanished into a blur.
The famous sword "Thunderstorm" tore through the air, piercing straight for Allen's throat with a shrill, ghostly cry.
A precise, ruthless strike, brimming with murderous intent!
Just as the blade was about to touch the skin—
Ding--
Sakura's ten swords precisely blocked the incoming blade tip.
Shiryu held the knife with both hands, but the force he exerted was no match for the strength of a single hand.
This person's strength surpasses mine!
Shiryu immediately realized the difference in strength, and with a flick of his wrist, changed his thrust into a slash.
The longsword drew a gruesome semicircle, slashing towards Allen's abdomen.
At the same time, he caught a glimpse of Lieutenant General Tsuru and the others retreating expressionlessly out of the corner of his eye.
……
What does that mean...?
Are you sure I'm going to lose?!
Stop looking down on me!
Fueled by rage, Shiryu's power increased even further.
Ding--
Almost exactly the same as before.
The other sword, with its withered blade, lay directly across the path of the longsword's strike.
It was as if Allen had placed the sword there first, and then Shiryu had struck it.
……
The difference in swordsmanship is too great...
Even Magellan, who was not skilled in swordsmanship, could see the huge skill gap between the two.
After all, he's the man who got those two swords... Shiryu, haven't you recognized him yet?
……
Not only in strength... but also in swordsmanship...
Realizing this, Shiryu was enraged even more.
Especially when looking at Allen's indifferent eyes.
With a low growl, jet-black Armament Haki swirled around the thunder and rain, and the long sword emitted a deep hum.
"Don't underestimate me... you bastard!!"
-
swish swish swish swish swish —
The thunderstorm transformed into a bloody, icy curtain of blades, descending upon the land.
His attacks were like a torrential downpour, impossible to dodge—that's the origin of Shiryu's title, "Rainy Day"!
……
Faced with this raging barrage of blades, Allen launched his attack.
Instead of engaging in a passionate sword fight, Allen ducked low and thrust his twin swords into the impenetrable curtain of blades at an incredible angle.
The approaching blade was like a venomous snake baring its fangs, posing a deadly danger.
Shiliu continued to swing his sword as he retreated until he reached the prison wall, where he had nowhere left to go.
His innate ferocity erupted, and he swung his knife to meet the twin swords head-on.
"Go to hell!!!"
Even if it meant being pierced by the twin swords, he was determined to cut off Allen's head!
In terms of physique, I'm superior to you!
I can withstand this kind of damage!
-
-
Clang——
The crisp sound was gone; instead, a dull thud of a broken blade echoed in the confined space.
Shiryu remained frozen in his downward slashing stance, his furious expression frozen.
Half of the blade fell to the ground, and the dull, unadorned tip of Sakura Ten's sword steadily and gently touched the skin between his eyebrows.
The chill, even colder than Impel Down's extreme cold, stimulated my nerves.
Strength, swordsmanship, and even weapons.
The gap is bigger than I imagined.
We lost...
It wasn't a narrow defeat after a hard-fought battle; it was a complete, crushing, and almost humiliating defeat!
A crimson glint flashed in the dark prison, and Shiryu once again felt that extreme, insane killing intent.
"We happen to need someone to drive the boat, so you can come with me from now on."
It was not a question, but a command.
