Chapter 374: Wax-wax Fruit User


    Upon hearing that An intended to rescue Mr. 1 and Crocodile, Mr. 3 was puzzled. “Excuse me, why do you want to save them?”


    In Mr. 3’s opinion, both Mr. 1 and Crocodile were notorious pirates, especially Crocodile, a former member of the Seven Warlords. Despite being dismissed by the Marine headquarters, he was dangerous and should not be underestimated.


    Now, An was proposing to rescue such a dangerous person, which was difficult for Mr. 3 to understand.


    “We’re saving them to increase ourbat power during the escape,” An exined. “The more people we have on our side, the better our chances. After all, this is the so-called impregnable city.”


    Mr. 3 nodded in understanding. “That’s true. Mr. 1 and Crocodile are both strong. With their help, our chances increase. Plus, there are many powerhouses imprisoned on the fifth and sixth floors, like Mr. 2. They’re all former colleagues of mine from Baroque Works. If we rescue them together, we might actually be able to leave the Impel Down.”


    At this point, the other pirates in the cell asked An to help them open their handcuffs. Mr. 3 offered to use his ability as a “wax-wax fruit” user to make keys and unlock their restraints.


    “Oh, I see. I will leave it to you then,” An said.


    As a user of the Wax-Wax Fruit, Mr. 3 had the ability to melt his body like wax and change its shape at will, creating various tools and weapons. This ability would be particrly useful in their escape, especially when facing lock-based obstacles.


    “Wow, I thought we’d be stuck in here forever,” one pirate eximed in relief.


    “Thanks to our boss, An, we’ve managed to escape from that cell. But don’t get too excited just yet. There’s still a long way to go before we fully escape Impel Down. Those guards will be here soon.”


    An turned to the group of pirates and said, “Quiet down, you guys.”


    The pirates immediately fell silent and stood still, like soldiers following orders.


    An then asked Mr. 3: “While we have a moment before the guards arrive, can you use your ability to create more keys to open the doors of the other cells?”


    “Of course,” Mr. 3 replied. He quickly made arge number of keys.


    An handed these keys to a dozen or so pirates and said, “Use these keys to open the doors of the other cells and release as many prisoners as possible. Not just on the second floor, but also on the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors. Every door must be opened. We need to cause a big disturbance.”


    Turning to Mr. 3, An added, “Mr. 3, follow me and help me deal with those guards. Block them as much as possible while the others release the prisoners.”


    “Understood, boss,” Mr. 3 replied, earning apliment from An.


    Just then, a group of guards noticed the escape and charged toward An and Mr. 3.


    Bang bang bang


    The jail guards pulled their triggers, unleashing a hail of bullets at the two men.


    An was preparing to fight when Mr. 3 stepped forward and shouted, “Wax Wall!”


    In an instant, a white wall of wax appeared in front of An and Mr. 3, blocking all of the bullets fired by the guards.


    As the user of the Wax-Wax Fruit, Mr. 3 could not only melt his own body but also create extremely hard wax for use in attack or defense.


    “Come on, let’s go,” An shouted, leading Mr. 3 and the others toward the guards.


    “Your abilities are truly impressive,” An chuckled. “I knew I made the right choice in picking you.”


    “This isn’t good, It’s a Devil Fruit user.”


    The guards were stunned as they saw their bullets being blocked by a wall of candle wax.


    Bang bang bang


    The guards fired again, unleashing a hail of bullets.


    But the candle wax wall was too sturdy, and the bullets couldn’t make it through.


    M, who was hiding behind the wax candle wall, asked An, “Boss, should we go save Mr. Crocodile and Mr. 1?”


    “Of course,” An answered.


    “Then let’s go to the third floor before their backup arrives,” Mr. 3 suggested.


    “Alright,” An agreed. “But before we leave, we have to deal with these pesky guys.”


    “My ability is better suited for creation and defense, not offense,” Mr. 3 said worriedly.


    An nodded and said, “That’s fine. You can assist me while I handle the enemy. Can you make me a weapon?”


    “What kind of weapon does the boss want?” Mr. 3 asked.


    “A sword,” An replied.


    “Wax Wax Sculpture: Sword,” Mr. 3 said as he quickly used his ability to create a wax sword.


    “Although it’s made of wax, its hardness can beparable to steel and should be enough for the boss to use,” Mr. 3 exined.


    An took the wax sword and tested it out, nodding in satisfaction.


    “It looks good.”


    Just then, the group of jail guards were shooting and closing in on them.


    An sneered, “Very well, let’s see how effective this wax sword is on you guys.”


    He walked out from behind the wax wall and swung his sword. In a sh, a white energy sh shot straight at the jail guards, hitting them all and sending them flying.


    An was not one to kill without reason, so he used the slicing wave to severely injure the jail guards rather than kill them.


    “That’s a powerful sh. I didn’t expect the BOSS to be a sword master,” Mr. 3 eximed in amazement.


    “Here theye again,” An said as he saw arge group of jail guards approaching
