Chapter 541: 542: Momousagi''s Advance
The world is vast, and all sorts of wonders exist. Devil Fruits, in particr, seem to have a counter for every ability, no matter how powerful it may seem.
Enel was captured, falling into Momousagi’s hands.
This was a ssic case of suffering from not understanding the opponent’s ability. However, it must be said that since arriving in the Blue Sea, Enel had been hit by one setback after another. His initial arrogance had gradually subsided.
“That warship, it must be waiting for reinforcements, right?” Momousagi looked at the warship Enel had been on before, waving her hand. “Sink it!”
Once again, the cannons roared. The ship, which was originallymanded by the Vice Admiral, was thoroughly destroyed this time, sinking into the sea amidst mes and smoke.
Watching the ship sink, Vice Admiral Momousagi pondered for a moment and then spoke, “Our ship shouldn’t get any closer. Stay here and leave some personnel to guard the ship. If necessary, sail the warship away from Impel Down. We can’t let them seize the ship!”
Hermand was naturally understood by the Navy soldiers. They weren’t leaving any escape routes for those pirates trying to escape.
So, following this, aside from a portion of the Navy soldiers staying behind on the warship, the rest followed Vice Admiral Momousagi, piloting small boats to arrive at Impel Down.
The guards of the prison lined up to wee Vice Admiral Momousagi’s arrival, and she, apanied by her men, went straight into the visiting room.“Wee, Vice Admiral Momousagi!” A woman wearing sunsses, her right eye covered by her bangs, raised her hand in salute. “I am the Deputy Warden of the prison, Domino!”
Beside her, another figure, short and resembling a little demon, also saluted. “I’m Commander Blue Gori, Saldeath!”
“I’m Chief Guard Sadi!” spoke a simrly voluptuous woman.
Momousagi nodded to them and inquired, “What’s the situation now?”
Domino replied, “It’s been confirmed that the prison raiders are the Seven Warlords, ck Dragon Ian, along with the Supernovas Trafalgar Law, Urouge, and the Straw Hat Luffy, as well as the Pirate Hunter Zoro, these four rookies with bounties exceeding a hundred million. Additionally, due to the riot they incited, almost all inmates from Impel Down levels one to four have been freed… That’s manageable, but now they’ve reached the sixth level of the prison. If the inmates of the sixth level are also released by them, it will be troublesome…”
“Where’s your warden, Magen?” Momousagi asked with a furrowed brow. The situation seemed even more serious than she had imagined. From the time they received the invasion report until now, not much time had passed, yet the prison raiders had already attacked to the sixth level. Did Magen not intervene to stop them?
“Well…” Domino said nervously, sweating. “Warden Magen is on the fourth level of the prison, but… but he has been defeated by ck Dragon Ian, and his condition is unknown…”
“What?” Momousagi was startled. “Magen’s condition is unknown? You can’t confirm?”
“Yes…” interjected Saldeath. “All my Blue Gori jailers have been killed. Now, the fourth level of the prison is upied by some remaining rioting inmates. They’ve secured the entrance to the elevator, and our guard forces can’t break through… So we can’t confirm the condition of Warden Magen. We can only see through the surveince that Magen is lying motionless on the ground…”
Momousagi realized this was bad. When fleet Admiral Sengoku dispatched her, he had urged her to cooperate with Magen, the prison warden, hoping she could team up with him to stop Ian. But Momousagi never expected Magen to be defeated so quickly by Ian. If Magen was killed, it meant she would lose her ally…
“By the way, where is your Head Jailer, Shiryu?” Momousagi suddenly remembered, realizing there was also this formidable presence in Impel Down.
“Jailer Shiryu…” Sadi swallowed hard, struggling to speak. “No, Shiryu. He’s confirmed to have rebelled. He killed Vice Warden Hannyabal by an ambush from behind, and severely injuring Warden Magen… Now he’s entered the sixth level of the prison with the Seven Warlords ck Dragon Ian…”
Momousagi’s heart sank instantly. Upon arriving here, she realized the situation was much worse than she had imagined.
With Magen’s fate unknown, Shiryu rebelling, and the breach of the sixth level of the prison, the entire prison guard force was helpless. This tangled mess now seemed to be her responsibility!?
“Do we have surveince footage of the sixth level?” Momousagi wasted no time and headed towards the control room. “Bring up the situation on the sixth level!”
However, when they reached the control room, the guards responsible for monitoring looked uneasy and informed Momousagi that due to the previous closure of the sixth level and the release of sleeping gas, the surveince Den Den Mushi on the sixth level had also been affected. Now, almost all of them were in sleep mode. In other words, the surveince footage of the sixth level was almost all cked out. Even if there were any, it was limited to a few isted corners. They couldn’t see what was happening on the sixth level at all.
This situation frustrated Momousagi. They had no idea what was happening on the sixth level.
But time was of the essence. They had to act quickly. So Momousagi immediately began to organize. “All Marines and prison guards, follow me. We must retake the fourth level and rescue Warden Magen! Then, starting from the fourth level, we establish defensive positions!”
With Momousagi’s orders issued, all Marines and prison guards sprang into action. Just before they set off, Vice Admiral Momousagi nced at Enel, who was shackled by Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs. “Your captain isn’t wise. The supporting ships have already been sunk. He won’t be able to escape. So soon, you’ll meet him, perhaps even be locked up together!”
“Is that so? Then I’ll wait and see!” Enel smiled nonchntly, staring straight at Momousagi. “You’re not bad, woman. If possible, when we leave, maybe we’ll take you along!”
Momousagi seethed inwardly, giving a cold snort, but she brushed off Enel’s words as stubbornness and didn’t bother arguing with him. She instructed the Marines to keep an eye on him and then led the team to set off.
The prison cells on the first and second levels were nearly empty now, with most prisoners following Ian down below. It wasn’t until they reached the third level that they encountered some scattered prisoners, mostly those who had been bullied by the prison guards and had stayed behind seeking revenge on the injured guards.
Momousagi showed no mercy to these individuals and ordered them to be killed on sight.
Under Momousagi’s lead, the troops continued their advance towards the fourth level of the prison. At the entrance to the elevator, there were many prisoners on guard. Momousagi took the lead, charging into the crowd of prisoners like a juggernaut. With her strength, the prisoners couldn’t stop her, and they quickly regained control of the fourth level.
Later, on the bridge, Momousagi saw the massive figure of Magen lying on the ground.
Sighing, Momousagi walked towards Magen, intending to check on him as hey motionless.
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, saying, “Don’t bother checking, he’s not dead yet! But it might take some time for him to wake up…”
Momousagi turned to see a closed cell, surrounded by open ones. Inside sat a bald, stern-looking man with his head bowed.
“Who are you?” Momousagi paused for a moment, then asked, “Why didn’t you escape? Did you witness what happened to Magen?”
“Hmph! I was just waiting for someone!” The bald man raised his head, nced at Momousagi, and said, “Although Magen was defeated by the Seven Warlords’ Ian, he saved his life. Otherwise, the wound on his abdomen alone could have caused fatal bleeding for Magen!”
Momousagi gently lifted Magen’s body and inspected the wound on his abdomen, confirming what the man said. There was still a faint glow around the wound, but it had already healed considerably.
Was this wound left by Shiryu’s ambush?
“Well done!” Momousagi praised the bald man. “You didn’t escape with the other prisoners. Perhaps, once this is all over, I can apply for a reduction in your sentence!”
However, Momousagi’s words were met with a burst ofughter from the bald man. “You should worry about yourselves. If my bosses back with Ian, then you’ll have to face more than just one Warlord…”
