Chapter 23 Buggy D Clown/ Blackbeard (Patreon)

The fourth floor of the Deep Sea Prison, Blazing Hell.

"Dark Vortex!" a painful, low growl sounded as a huge cloud of black energy burst out from the mouth of an ugly man, revealing his few remaining teeth. The black energy swept across the bodies of several people lying in a purple liquid.

Chi chi chi

After the cloud of black air dissipated, the purple smoking liquid also disappeared.

Plop!

"Ha ha----" The man sprawled on the ground, gasping for breath. Grinning with his rotten teeth, he looked at the man opposite him, a warden in uniform with a long knife on his waist, and said with a smile, "Jiehahahaha, Shiryu, thanks to you this time. Otherwise, he would have really fallen for that fellow Magellan! Damn, is that guy a monster? This  venom is also very terrible!"

Shiryu took a puff of his cigar and said with a smile, "Teach, do you know who you were facing? He is the strongest warden, Magellan! The man who can suppress Eternal Hell! If you rush forward without any information, won't there be more problems?"

At this time, the people lying on the fourth floor of the deep sea prison were members of the Blackbeard group who had infiltrated the prison under the name of Shichibukai. After hearing what Shiryu said, Blackbeard didn't argue but simply grinned, "Jie ha ha ha ha, you're right. This time, I was too careless."

Glancing at the people still lying on their stomachs, Blackbeard shouted, "Hey, how long are you guys going to sleep? Get up! Get ready to implement our crazy plan!"

After Blackbeard's yell, the people on the ground slowly stood up, some reluctantly. One of them asked, "Captain, can't I sleep a little longer?"

"Uh... captain...uh, I'll stand up...uh!"

"It seems fate is still on our side today!"

"I really didn't sleep well this time. Can't you let me sleep more?"

Seeing the state of his crew members, Blackbeard grew irritated and said, "You guys are the ones causing me the most trouble! We're about to undertake something big, so cheer up, you bastards!"

Before anyone else could speak, Shiryu suddenly spoke up, "Teach, I'm afraid you won't be able to accomplish this important matter for a while. My suggestion is to take advantage of the chaos and leave Imperton."

"What!" Blackbeard looked at Shiryu in astonishment. "Shiryu, you also know the real purpose of my coming here? I haven't achieved it yet. How can I leave? You bastard!"

"Someone has reached Eternal Hell ahead of you!" Shiryu said solemnly. "Before the sixth floor, several powerful Conqueror's Haki bursts occurred, and there was even the sound of fighting! I'm close to the sixth floor, so I noticed it earlier. Even if Magellan found out a little later, he probably noticed it too. With his personality, he wouldn't stay silent. If he hasn't taken action yet, he's probably seeking help from Naval Headquarters or the government. Imperton will soon be in chaos too."

"Nani!" After hearing Shiryu's words, not only Blackbeard but also the other lazy crew members stared wide-eyed in shock. Someone had freed the prisoners from Eternal Hell? Who could be so desperate? Blackbeard felt like his luck had been stolen from him. The others were equally shocked. When Blackbeard first proposed this plan, they all thought he was crazy, but they didn't expect someone even crazier than him!

"Who is it?" Blackbeard growled in anger and shock. "Who the hell is it?"

Shiryu of the Rain slowly exhaled a puff of smoke ring, staring at the few people, and said, "Clown Buggy."

Blackbeard: "..."

Silence fell in the air for a while.

On the other side, in the lobby on the first floor of Imperton Sea, hundreds of fully armed guards stood by the gate. Nearly a hundred cannons were aimed at the exit of the elevator on the first floor. Magellan, Hannyabal, Sadi-chan, Domino, and others stood behind the cannons. Zoan ability users like Minotaurus, Mino Koala, Mino Rhinoceros, and Mino Madara Horse stood behind them, waiting.

Hannyabal, standing next to Magellan, glanced at him and whispered, "Did the director make a big mistake by letting the prisoners escape from Eternal Hell this time? Does that mean the director may be dismissed? Will I be promoted to director?"

Before Magellan could respond, Sadi-chan on the other side laughed coquettishly. "Hmm~ Deputy Director Hannyabal, your voice is too loud. I heard all your calculations, you bastard! Ha——" Angrily, Magellan raised his hand and punched Hannyabal on the head, leaving him breathless. "Ah! The director released poison gas, ah no, I'm going to die!" Hannyabal fell to the ground, covering his mouth.

Snapped! Snapped!

Magellan clapped his hands proudly. "If you want to be the director, you should be more careful!"

In pain, Hannyabal lying on the ground said, "Director, should we wait for the government to arrive first?"

Magellan stared at the exit of the elevator on the first floor with a solemn expression and said, "I want to, but it's too late. Hannyabal, don't die. Only you can take my position as director! Poison channel——" Magellan's body swelled up, covered in purple venom, and he rushed towards the elevator exit.

A few minutes earlier, on the sixth floor of Eternal Hell, everyone was taken aback by Sanjuan Wolf's ability. He expanded to a hundred eighty meters in just a few breaths! Should his ability be called the Expand expand fruit of Paramecia? Fortunately, this guy could also shrink; otherwise, Buggy wouldn't know how to control him.

This time, after making the necessary preparations, there were no accidents. Buggy used his "Decomposition Control" ability to control a huge stone slab carrying hundreds of people and flew upwards, smashing several layers of the prison floor along the way. The change in the surrounding air gave everyone standing on the slab a sense of going from hell to heaven.

"The last floor!" Ivan and Luffy shouted excitedly.

"Break it down!" With a final command from Buggy, the floor separating the first floor above the sea and the first basement of Crimson Hell shattered instantly.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, a pleasant notification sounded in Buggy's mind, accompanied by a blue light curtain popping out.

—————

Ding!

Congratulations, you have successfully altered the plot and become the first to release the prisoners from Eternal Hell in the Deep Sea Prison and lead them to escape. You will be rewarded with:

[Advanced Armament Haki - Emission.]

—————

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Buggy charged forward with the massive stone slab. At the same time, Redfield's dignified voice echoed, "Be careful!"

"Leave it to me."

After absorbing the rewards, Buggy's smile became even calmer as he stared at Magellan, who flew across the sky like a long purple dragon. "Magellan? Perfect. Let me use your blood to announce the arrival of the Clown King to the world!"

With those words, Buggy soared through the air and threw a punch at the charging Magellan.

"Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Empyrean!"

"Don't be so reckless, Buggy the Clown! I'm going to put all of you back in jail! Hydra's Embrace!!!" In the next instant, two figures, one blue and one purple, collided in mid-air.
