Chapter 6: So I'm This Strong!
Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle, Moon Chamber.
Imu leaned back on the comfortable sofa, seriously watching the High-Definition Image projected by the Telephone Bug. It was a scene of Sengoku, garp, and Shiki fiercely battling outside Marineford.
The ubiquitous Air Wave clashes, the continuous Water Spout splashes, the constantly exploding Ice Block and the wreckage of Warship, coupled with the unbelievably fast speed and agility of the three, accompanied by bursts of dazzling Golden Light, gave one the feeling of watching a top-tier blockbuster.
If it were before transmigration, he wouldn't have been able to see the movements of these people at all. But now it's different. Having fully adapted to his own Strength, his dynamic eyesight could very easily capture the details of the battle.
Imu picked up the Wine Glass on the Coffee Table, swirling the Crimson Wine Liquid inside, and chuckled.
"In this way, Marineford can avoid being mostly destroyed, but it's just hard on that kid Kuzan."
The fact that 'Golden Lion' Shiki would attack Marine Headquarters was naturally something he had revealed to the Five Elders in advance, and then the latter conveyed it to Fleet Admiral Kong. As for the idea of letting Kuzan create a large Ice Field outside the port, it was said to have been thought up by Sengoku.
The current Kuzan, although stronger than a typical Vice Admiral, has not yet reached the Admiral level, and cannot freeze the Sea Area with a single Ice Age.
So from noon to evening, he had been busy. After all, it was a battlefield prepared for three big shots, so the thickness and area of the ice had to be substantial.
For Imu, watching the fierce battle of three Top Tier Power in the World helped him to understand more deeply how big the gap was between these people and himself.
Memory is just memory. After all, he is a Transmigrator, and some things are better seen with one's own eyes.
It must be said that the battle of these three made his sense of security rise every minute and every second. In addition, with that National Treasure in hand, he had only one thought in his mind.
So I'm This Strong!
"Looking at it this way, I have quite a few Trump Card and Resource on my side. Next, it depends on how to operate them." Imu took a sip of Red Wine, enjoying the sweet and smooth taste on his Taste Bud, his Eyesight thoughtful.
"There are still twenty-four years before the final battle of the original work, but now that I'm here, many things cannot remain the same. In that case, after Roger's execution, let's start from next year."
It is now the end of December 1497. Next year, 1498, a new session of the World Conference will be convened!
Three days later, the World Economic News published an extra edition, and its content once again shocked the entire World.
The Front-Page Headline title was bold and enlarged, writing "Shocking! Golden Lion Shiki Arrested and Imprisoned!"
This time, the content above detailed that Shiki, because of Roger's arrest, attempted to attack Marine Headquarters single-handedly, but was jointly defeated by the prepared Navy Admiral Sengoku and Navy Hero garp. At this time, he himself had been imprisoned in the World's Greatest Prison, Impel Down Prison.
In addition, there were extremely clear photos printed on it, which were exactly the scene of Shiki lying wounded all over in front of Sengoku and garp, which can be regarded as recording the Navy's glorious moment.
A few days ago, Pirate King Roger was just captured, and he is about to be publicly executed soon. Now, even the admiral of the Golden Lion Pirates Fleet, who has dominated the New World for more than ten years, has been dealt with by the Navy.
Kingdoms and forces from all sides were heavily deterred by the powerful Strength shown by the Navy. At the same time, the World Government's authority further penetrated people's hearts, and the Pirates causing trouble in the Four Seas subconsciously restrained themselves.
Impel Down Prison, in the Infinite Hell of the Lower Levels, Magellan, who was nearly five meters tall, stood in the dim corridor, sizing up the new inmate in the iron cell. Around him stood several Warden who had come specially, all for the person inside.
"This is 'Golden Lion' Shiki? Apart from having more hair, he doesn't look like much. He even specifically asked us to put an extra pair of Handcuffs on him." Shiryu, with a Cigar in his mouth, had a wicked smile on his face, but in his heart he was thinking, find a chance to stab him and see. The feel of these big shots must be more interesting.
As Deputy Warden, Magellan looked at Shiki in the cell, whose Hands and feet were restrained, lying flat on the cold floor, and spoke.
"The Warden said that the people above did this to prevent him from cutting off his own feet and then using the Ability of the Float-Float Fruit to break out. From now on, Ability User prisoners on this Lower Levels must wear Handcuffs."
"What, cut off his own feet?!"
The Warden, including Shiryu, were all stunned for a moment, and then immediately thought that if this kind of thing really happened, could they stop the man inside?
According to the information, this Shiki, in addition to being an Awakened Ability User of the Float-Float Fruit, is also a Great Swordsman-level dual-sword swordsman, plus top-level Haki. Thinking of this, several people felt chills.
"Alright, let's disperse after watching." Magellan ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Okay."
The Warden quickly responded and returned to their respective floors. Among them, Shiryu took a deep look at Magellan's back and left together, while Magellan himself still stood in place. After about twenty minutes, the Warden personally led a few people over.
"Magellan, open the Cell Door. These few are personnel sent by the World Government. They need to contact Shiki."
Magellan glanced at them. There were five people in total. Among them, three were wearing standard black Suit and boots, all exuding a capable Aura, while the other two were carrying small white Boxes, seemingly not combat personnel.
"Okay."
The Warden gave the Order, and of course he had to listen. The Cell Key to 'Infinite Hell' was on him.
Of course, the Warden also had one, but could this kind of thing let the boss do it himself?
Soon, Magellan opened the Cell Door. The two people carrying Boxes and one black Suit walked in. The remaining two black Suit personnel guarded the door, in a posture that did not allow anyone to enter.
"This is?" Magellan looked at the Warden in confusion, but the latter shook his head.
"Don't ask too much. It has nothing to do with us. I heard they will come often in the future. You just need to be responsible for bringing them here, and then opening and locking the door."
Magellan nodded silently.
The people inside moved quickly, and came out in less than five minutes. Then, without saying a word, they followed the Warden and quickly left.
Magellan glanced at them, then walked closer to the Cell Door and looked inside, and found that Shiki, who was still unconscious inside, had not changed at all.
Moon Chamber, Imu received a Telephone Bug call from the Five Elders.
"Lord Imu, Shiki's Blood has successfully arrived at Punk Hazard."
"Hmm, let Dr. Vegapunk try to replicate the Float-Float Fruit. This Ability is of great use to our World Government, and its priority is higher than the Research on Kaido's Gene and Ability. Also, keep an eye on Shiki, don't let him die, and don't cripple him. He is still useful!"
"Your will be done!"
Putting the Microphone in his hand back on top of the Telephone Bug's head, Imu gazed at the Lunar Surface Environment and the scattered Milky Way outside the window.
He was thinking about this person, Dr. Vegapunk.
According to the content in the original work, he clearly perfectly replicated Kaido's Azure Dragon Fruit, but claimed to the World Government that it was a Failed Product. Was it that the latter really thought it was a Failed Product, or did they know it was successful but lied?
"It seems this Dr. Vegapunk is not an honest person either..."
And 'Golden Lion' Shiki, he originally wanted to send Vice Admiral Tsuru over to cleanse his heart, and then have someone brainwash him to become a loyal Lackey of the World Government, but then he thought of a better idea and suppressed it.
It's just that his idea still needs to wait a few years. There is a Key Item that needs to be found first.
No rush, take it slowly.
Imu's Gaze gazed faintly at the Bright Moon in the sky.
