chapter 134 part 1
In the monitoring room, Ren Arakawa's running footage was being broadcast on screens of all sizes.
The 6th floor wasn't as harsh an environment as Extreme Cold Hell; it was filled with surveillance Den Den Mushi. Along the way, wherever Ren Arakawa went, "Buruburuburuburu" surveillance Den Den Mushi clicked above his head. Time was truly urgent, so he could only casually use nails he'd swiped from the prison tools as shuriken to shoot down these gadgets.
But it was also unavoidable that some surveillance Den Den Mushi, positioned at tricky angles, spotted him. Soon, an action squad rushed towards Infinite Hell.
Among them were Magellan, Hannyabal, and Shiryu of the Rain.
Magellan wanted to stop Ren Arakawa from escaping.
Hannyabal wanted a promotion.
Shiryu of the Rain wanted to kill Ren Arakawa before Magellan arrived.
As for Ren Arakawa, he only wanted to get the antidote to save Lightning.
The four factions were all striving for their respective goals, pushing forward.
Ren Arakawa ran to a fork in the road, silently recalling what the Red-Haired Lord had said.
Soon.
He was about to see the supply room!
Ren Arakawa, anxious and burning with impatience, wildly ran towards his goal. Because he was running too fast, just as he was about to round a corner, his foot suddenly slipped, and his body instantly lost balance.
However, fueled by a stubborn surge of momentum, he didn't fall to the ground. Instead, like an out-of-control race car, he flew out from around the corner in a near-perfect "drift."
At this moment, three Jailer Beasts stood on the opposite side, weapons in hand, guarding ferociously. Their massive, muscular bodies originally made them believe they held an absolute advantage, capable of easily intercepting any intruder!
These three Jailer Beasts were Minotaurus (the Spiked Club Cow Mother), the Dual-Wielding Spiked Club Mino-Chihuahua, and the Knuckle Duster-equipped Mino-Koala.
But when Ren Arakawa suddenly appeared before them in such an unexpected manner, they were completely intimidated by the unstoppable aura radiating from his body!
Especially Ren Arakawa's gaze.
No matter how they looked at it, the three Jailer Beasts felt he was staring at them with the eyes of someone looking at food.
Jailer Beasts are, in fact, awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruit users. Pirate Ren Arakawa, who possessed a devouring physique, still felt a certain reluctance in his heart when eating people.
But when humans eat animals, they only assess if it tastes good.
And Jailer Beasts perfectly filled the gap between humans and animals.
This was a suppression from the food chain!
The three Jailer Beasts, who daily 'repaired' prisoners, were somewhat flustered at this moment!
That guy's blood-red eyes and uncontrollable drool didn't make him look like a good person at all.
In that instant, Pirate Ren Arakawa quickly performed Hand Seals, and as his hands danced, Chakra rapidly circulated within his body. His gaze was focused, completely ignoring the three Jailer Beasts' gazes, which were filled with doubt and wariness.
Minotaurus saw Ren Arakawa standing still. Though a little uneasy, it still mustered its courage, gripped its spiked club tightly with both hands, and approached Ren Arakawa step by step. Its footsteps were heavy; with every step, the ground seemed to tremble slightly. It also let out a deep roar, attempting to intimidate Ren Arakawa.
Just as Minotaurus was about to approach Ren Arakawa, having raised its spiked club high, ready to swing it down, suddenly, the ground behind Ren Arakawa began to tremble violently.
Immediately after, a massive water dragon roared out from the ground!
The water dragon bared its fangs and claws; its crystal-clear body shone with an eerie light in the dim corridor!
The Dual-Wielding Spiked Club Mino-Chihuahua and the Knuckle Duster-equipped Mino-Koala saw this sudden water dragon, and instantly their eyes widened, their faces showing expressions of terror. They subconsciously retreated a few steps, but it was already too late to dodge.
The water dragon rushed towards them at an extremely high speed, and the massive water current instantly submerged the three Jailer Beasts! Because they were all Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, upon encountering such a massive amount of Water Release attacks, their bodies instantly became powerless, and their Devil Fruit abilities could not be used.
They struggled desperately in the water, but they could not resist the water dragon's power. They could only let the water dragon sweep them away, rushing them towards a drainage ditch on one side. The roars and cries for help of the three Jailer Beasts were drowned out by the sound of the water. Their figures quickly disappeared into the drainage ditch, leaving behind only a chaotic scene and the gradually calming water flow.
This was the power of Water Release!
Ren Arakawa, located in the underwater Impel Down, could freely summon seawater. These Devil Fruit users were utterly powerless against seawater.
This was also the main source of his confidence for escaping!
After clearing away the last three Jailer Beasts, Ren Arakawa ran into the supply room. Because about half of Impel Down's security measures relied on the poison man Magellan, and Magellan often farted and burped, poisoning the Jailers. Furthermore, many prisoners were poisoned by venom and on the verge of death. But the World Government didn't want Devil Fruits to be reborn elsewhere in the world after these Devil Fruit-wielding criminals died.
So inside the supply room, there were many antidotes meant for Magellan. Ren Arakawa casually used a cow-patterned cloth that looked like Minotaurus's shorts to package all the antidotes and tie them to his body.
Just as he was about to walk out, he suddenly squatted down!
Looking up, he saw a giant saber. Ren Arakawa gritted his teeth, and with a side roll, he narrowly avoided the saber's continuous slashes!
"Hehehe!" Hannyabal waved his great saber, "Capturing an escaped prisoner! I'm getting a promotion!"
"Screw your promotion!" Ren Arakawa suddenly leaped towards the window, preparing to leave the small room through it.
Hannyabal, relentless in his advantage, immediately followed with another horizontal slash. Ren Arakawa pushed off the ground with both feet, flying backward, while rapidly performing Hand Seals!
"Water Release: Water Wall!" A water wall rapidly rose before him. Hannyabal's great saber struck the water wall, splashing up large amounts of water, but the water wall was not easily broken.
Hannyabal, seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he showed a cold smirk. He ignited flames on his saber!
He yelled loudly, "Hannyabal Carnival Scorching Hell Cart!"
Hannyabal's flaming saber rapidly spun like a windmill, rushing towards Ren Arakawa. For a moment, steam filled the air as flames and water currents clashed, emitting "sizzling" sounds.
Seeing Hannyabal was not affected by Water Release, Ren Arakawa couldn't help but retort, "In the Pirate World, anyone who doesn't eat a Devil Fruit is guilty!"
Hannyabal didn't know what that meant. Waving his great saber, he declared, "If I catch you, I'll get a promotion!"
Facing the saber, Ren Arakawa rapidly twisted his body!
With a "clang!", Hannyabal's great saber was clamped tightly between Ren Arakawa's two tails!
"What... what is this thing? Are you human?"
Looking at the two flexible yet hard tails, one long and one short, protruding from what looked like a human's backside, even Hannyabal, who had worked in Impel Down for many years, was a little dumbfounded.
"You yourself look like a ghost! You're asking me?!" Pirate Ren Arakawa was so angry his teeth itched. Using his two tails to tightly jam the great saber, he performed Hand Seals!
Hannyabal felt something was wrong, but he didn't know exactly what. Suddenly, he recalled the situation when he first saw Ren Arakawa.
Was it that ability to turn into wood?
However, Hannyabal underestimated Ren Arakawa's resolve. The blue Wind Release Mask at his shoulder emerged from his flesh, taking deep breaths of air. At the same time, Ren Arakawa also opened his mouth, and his navel swelled!
Realizing the situation was getting bad, Hannyabal wanted to break free and run. But his great saber was jammed, and without a weapon, he was as good as a useless 'big-headed ghost.'
Just at that moment of hesitation, Ren Arakawa unleashed a technique!
"Combined Ninja Art: Flame Wind Chaos Technique!"
This attack was also to avenge being forced into Crimson Hell and Fierce Beast Hell by Hannyabal!
