"If possible, I would naturally like to go see the world with the captain. After all, this is a head-on battle between the Navy Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates, and the entire sea is paying attention to this war.
But you also know that my identity is not suitable for appearing on such occasions.
Maybe now I have a certain influence on the sea, and I also have some power to protect myself, but how can the people gathered there this time be just ordinary people?"
Wood now has another identity as the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and she is the "Son of the Devil" wanted by the World Government. If the Navy or the World Government asks Wood to surrender, the situation will become tense, so Robin stays behind in the underworld.
Dark Island is indeed the best choice.
As for why Ruth and the others were allowed to follow him, on the one hand it was to have a helper to take care of him, and on the other hand it was because Wood was now a big shot in the sea, and it would be too embarrassing to go out alone without even a decent thug.
.
Russ was also from the Navy, and he would betray the Navy. He was dragged aboard the pirate ship by Wood. It was perfect to go to the Navy headquarters this time.
As for Perona, she recommended herself because she heard that the Seven Warlords were summoned, and Moonlight Moria was among them, so she wanted to see her original master.
At the same time that Wood and the others set off, the Kuja Pirates on the other side of Daughter Island also set off.
The Pirate Empress Boya Hancock originally wanted to turn a deaf ear to the Navy's summons, but in the end she accepted the Shichibukai summons on the condition of visiting the large prison "Impulse City".
The plot has not changed much. The Straw Hat Pirates were still sent flying to various islands by Bartholomew Bear in the Shampoo Islands.
Among them, Luffy is still hiding on Nine Snake Island, also known as "Daughter Island".
The only difference is that this time, the Empress Hancock, who had long been in his heart, was captured by Luffy without any self-defense.
After learning that Luffy beat up the Celestial Dragon because of his friends, and helped his sister block the "Celestial Dragon's Hoof" branded on her back during the battle, she developed a good impression of Luffy.
However, good feelings are good feelings. Although Hancock defeated Luffy and could stay on Nine Snake Island to practice Haki, the friendship between them was not deep enough to allow him to risk him to go to Impel Down to save people.
Hancock was unwilling to take him to the Navy Headquarters, and Luffy didn't have a boat. After thinking about it, he found that among the people he met on the sea, the only ones who were capable of taking him to the Navy Headquarters were Shanks and the Underworld.
The great old Wood.
As one of the Four Emperors, Red-haired Shanks must be in the second half of the Grand Line. It would be so easy to find him in the vast sea.
Therefore, the only person Luffy can turn to now is the Marine traitor Wood, who has a fixed base and has the ability to go to the Marine Headquarters.
Because Hancock refused to risk taking him to the Navy Headquarters, Luffy could only plead with Hancock to take him to Dark Island.
In terms of friendship, the relationship between the Straw Hat Pirates and Wood can only be regarded as average, but no matter how you say it, it should be much better than that of the Pirate Empress.
And besides Wood, Luffy really can't think of anyone else who can help him rescue Ace.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. But when he heard that Luffy wanted him to take him to Dark Island to find Wood, Hancock's expression suddenly changed.
"Luffy, do you still know the Marine traitor Wood? You have a good relationship with him? Does he have any relationship with your Straw Hat Pirates?"
Luffy had just said Wood's name, and Hancock, who had been cold and cold before, had already asked three consecutive questions with a flushed face.
I don’t know why, but Luffy, who has always been funny, suddenly had a high IQ at this moment. When he saw Hancock’s anxious and excited look, he immediately said that the Straw Hat Pirates and Wood had a good relationship, and they had even fought together several times.
.
The three Hancock sisters were wanted for beating up the Celestial Dragon. The three Hancock sisters already had a certain fondness for Luffy. Now when they heard that he was actually Wood's good friend, Hancock naturally paid more attention to Luffy.
Ever since Hancock and his three sisters were rescued by Wood and returned to Amazon Lily Island, Hancock had thought about looking for Wood several times.
However, at the beginning, Wood had not yet become famous on the sea, and there was no fixed base like Dark Island. When they no longer had Wood's life paper, Hancock had no choice but to give up in the end.
However, when Wood began to become famous on the sea, freeing Impel City prisoners, fighting the golden lion Shiji, destroying Judiciary Island and other deeds, especially when he conquered the "Devil's Son" Nico Robin, Hancock wanted to
Went looking for Wood.
She didn't know what the so-called "Devil's Son" was, but when she learned that the other party was a young girl and had been with Wood day and night for many years, Hancock immediately felt the so-called crisis!
However, just when Hancock was about to go to sea to find Wood, the previous king of the Lily Kingdom, Grandma Ze, stopped her and used smooth words to trick her into staying.
At that time, my mother-in-law had already noticed that Hancock had great talent after eating the "sweet fruit". What was rare was that he also awakened the "overlord domineering spirit" that only one in a million people could have.
The Amazon Lily Kingdom was already in a state of decline. After she stepped down, the entire Nine Snakes Island almost found someone to support the scene, and Snake Girl Hancock, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, was undoubtedly the best candidate at the time.
Hancock had no interest at all in the so-called King of Nine Snakes Island at that time. A girl in love could hardly see anything else except the person she liked and the rival in love.
Mother-in-law Ye was obviously very smart. She successfully kept Hancock on the grounds that if she became the king of Amazon Lily, she could help Wood more, and helped her take the position of the empress of Nine Snake Island.
.
And the facts also proved that Grandma Ze's vision was not wrong. Hancock not only possesses the extremely powerful talent of three-color domineering, but also ate the rather powerful superhuman devil fruit "Sweet Fruit".
In her first trip to sea alone, she won a bounty of up to 80 million beli, and became known as the "Pirate Empress".
At that time, the World Government was implementing the policy of King Shichibukai, and Hancock, who was the king of Nine Snake Island and had super strength and talent, came into the sight of the World Government and obtained King Shichibukai.
The identity of Wu Hai, a legal pirate.
After becoming the king of the Shichibukai and Amazon Lily, Hancock realized that he had been tricked by that old guy.
She is obviously different now than before. Even though she is the king of a country and the king of the Shichibukai, no matter what she does, she cannot follow her own temperament.
On the surface, the King's Shichibukai is also a force of the World Government, but at that time, Wood destroyed the Judiciary Island, stole the fruits of other people's operations, and treated the World Government like a monkey. If at this time, as "The King's Shichibukai", it would be
What will happen when she, the Amazon Lily King, goes to look for Wood?
Once she stays with Wood for too long, the entire Amazon Lily will undoubtedly be implicated by her.
After all, it was the island where he grew up. No matter how impulsive Hancock was, he could only forcefully suppress his thoughts and thoughts in the end.
It is also for this reason that Hancock has never looked for Wood or contacted him since he was rescued.
In the past, Hancock had been unable to see Wood due to many scruples. This time, when he heard that Luffy knew Wood and that Wood might also appear in the battle on the top, Hancock naturally agreed to help without hesitation.
Luffy.
As for Hancock's trip to sea this time, her mother-in-law no longer stopped her. Not only did she not stop him, she also strongly supported Hancock's trip to the Navy Headquarters.
On the one hand, if Hancock does not accept the Navy's forced call-up order, the title of "Shichibukai" may be withdrawn.
On the other hand, it is because today is different from the past. The navy renegade Wood has now become one of the most important figures in the sea, a super boss who knows everything from black to white and gray to the sea.
Wood who has reached this level, whether it is the World Government or pirates and other forces, will all act according to his face. With the relationship between Nine Snake Island and him, not only will he no longer worry about being implicated by him, but he will also have a backer, a new one.
A powerful talisman.
Just like the original plot, Luffy easily sneaked into Impel Down using the conditions proposed by Hancock.
At this moment, in the Impel Down City, the deputy director of the prison, Hannibal, acted as a guide like a nymphomaniac, introducing Hancock to the floor layout and rules of the Impel Down City.
In fact, this is not to blame for Hannibal's piggy look, but more than ten years have passed since Hancock escaped from the Holy Land Mariejoia, plus the addition of sweet fruits, Hancock
She has firmly established herself as the "most beautiful woman in the world".
Hancock's beauty lies not only in her appearance, but also in the special temperament of "sweet fruit", which makes everyone who sees her, whether they are men, women, old or young, involuntarily fall into a state of infatuation with her.
When walking from the first floor to the fifth floor, even Hancock had to sigh. The rumored big prison was indeed not a lie. There were not a few surveillance phone bugs and security forces along the way.
Even Hancock couldn't help but mentally compare Impel Down with her, the holy land where she was imprisoned before. Then she was surprised to find that if the security of the former Mary Joa was as tight as Impel Down, even if it was
Wood couldn't help them leave at the time.
"Ever since the fifth floor, the Ai family has been feeling a nasty aura. Is this power the sea tower stone..."
Upon hearing Hancock's inquiry, Hannibal immediately stepped forward with a dogged expression and replied: "That's right, starting from the fifth floor, the prisoners here will be put on sea-tower stone chains, whether they are hands or feet.
As for the sixth floor, even the cells where prisoners are held are made of sea tower stone."
Only the ability users themselves know how much influence Sea Tower Stone has on them. This special metal that can emit the same power as sea water is not only very hard, but can also cause ability users to lose their abilities.
No! It's not quite accurate to say that it's a loss of ability. It should be said that the Sea Tower Stone can make people with abilities weaker than ordinary people.
This is because ability users are all landlubbers. When encountering sea water, let alone combat power, if their original combat power can be reduced to 50%, they are considered truly strong.
For most Devil Fruit users, as soon as they touch the Sea Tower Stone, their bodies have already turned into soft mud, and they have no fighting ability at all.
"With Hailoushi's chains and prisoners, aren't you pushing the city too rich?
The Ai family has heard that Magellan, the prison director of your Push City, is the strongest prison director in history. The prisoners in Push City have already suffered terribly under his suppression, do they still need to be so cautious?"
The last thing a man can tolerate is a beautiful woman praising other men in front of him, especially when the object of Hancock's praise is Magellan, whom he always wanted to usurp the throne.
“The director is very strong, but he spends at least half of the day having diarrhea.
Compared to a guy like him who is not doing his job properly, I am indeed wise and powerful, Lord Hannibal is more suitable for the position of director of Impel Down City..."
"Hannibal, I will do the rest of the guiding work, and you can complete your mission."
Hannibal was still complaining about his boss, but he didn't know that a huge figure behind him had already enveloped him, and the opponent was Magellan, the current director of Impel Down City and a superhuman "Poison Fruit" user.
Magellan was wearing a black suit, had an unusually large body, and had devil horns on his head similar to those of Satie and the others. He was known as the strongest man in Impel Down.
The Devil Fruit "Poison Fruit" that Magellan ate, let alone whether it is the strongest "Superman type", is definitely among the best among all the known Superman type fruits.
It is obviously the fruit of the "superhuman type", but it has a power similar to that of a natural type, and his whole body is poisonous, making him the nemesis of almost all martial arts masters.
As long as you have physical contact with the other person, you will be poisoned regardless of whether you are stronger than the other person.
Moreover, except for a few people in the entire sea, there is no cure for Magellan's poison.
Probably because the power of the fruit is too powerful, those with abilities who eat the "Poison Fruit" will suffer a side effect, which is endless diarrhea all day long.
Because he is a "poisonous person", he often suffers from bad gastrointestinal problems. What Hannibal just said is not an exaggeration at all, but their director really spends more than half of the day having diarrhea...
Under normal circumstances, it is very easy to find Magellan. If the other person is not handling official business in the office, then he must be squatting on the toilet in the toilet.
Of course, although there are some flaws in his abilities, this does not hinder the fact that Magellan is a strong man.
In terms of combat power, judging from the fact that he can chase Luffy and his gang away by himself, Magellan's serious strength is, if not as good as that of a navy admiral, at least as strong as a reserve admiral.
