Chapter 388: Defeat
As An opened his eyes, he quickly recognized the man wearing a fez as the Vice Warden of Impel Down, Hannyabal. At the moment, Hannyabal was leading hundreds of Marines in pursuit of seven or eight pirates.
Seeing the scene, An’s lips curled into a smile: “It seems Bon y and Mr. 3 have already seeded in freeing those guys.” Those pirates who were being chased by Hannyabal were naturally prisoners who were previously imprisoned on the fourth level.
However, An did not see Bon y and Mr. 3. That is to say, they were still in another hallway on the fourth level. “I will go find them.”
Just as An was about to leave, a prompt suddenly popped up:
[ Ding! Make a Choice.]
[1. Defeat the Vice Warden of Impel Down, Hannyabal. Reward: Armament Haki.]
[2. Ignore Hannyabal and leave directly. Reward: One Mysterious Chest.]
An, who had originally nned to go straight to find Bon y and Mr.3, decisively chose the first option from the prompt, as the reward was still worth his effort.
At this moment, Hannyabal also noticed An not far away from him. However, he was currently capturing those seven or eight pirates, so he did not have the time to pay attention to An.Those seven or eight pirates were not weak, but because they had been imprisoned for a long time, they were physically weak and were no match for Hannyabal.
Hannyabal effortlessly sent his opponents flying with a disy of formidable strength. Meanwhile, An drew his de.
An, armed with his sword, Golden Wolf, hacked down. The golden sh wave shot forth like a golden arrow, barreling straight toward Hannyabal with lightning speed. Recognizing the threat, Hannyabal dared not underestimate it, immediately swinging his double-ded naginata in defense with both hands. The powerful sh wave pushed Hannyabal back several meters, and the unleashed power also overwhelmed the Marines behind him.
Thanks to An’s swift action, the pirates who had been beaten by Hannyabal were luckily not captured. After expressing his gratitude, An let the pirates leave, choosing to stay behind and face Hannyabal himself. It was not because An wanted to help the pirates, but simply because he wanted to im the reward. To defeat Hannyabal, he naturally had to defeat the Marines who had apanied him as well.
At the moment, Hannyabal had no leisure to chase after the escaping pirates. He gazed intently at An.
“Who are you?” Hannyabal asked.
“I am An,” he replied.
“So it is you, the mysterious person. It was because of you that the pirates caused amotion,” Hannyabal said.
“I simply want to leave this ce, and take a few people with me,” An said coldly.
“Foolish thinking. I will capture you,” Hannyabal dered.
Upon hearing the challenge, An sneered, “You? No way. You don’t have what it takes.”
This dismissive attitude from An incensed Hannyabal, who gritted his teeth and snarled, “How dare you underestimate me! You’re going to know the true terror of Hannyabal.”
An had intentionally provoked Hannyabal with his words, and it was clear that he had seeded.
Enraged, Hannyabal brandished his double-ded naginata and charged toward An with ferocity, like a demon.
An chuckled coldly and drew his sword, the Golden Wolf, ready to face the challenge.
As the deputy warden of Impel Down, Hannyabal was indeed a formidable opponent. During the fight, An discovered that Hannyabal was not only skilled in hand-to-handbat, but also mastered the art of the weapon-based Haki and the observation-based Haki, forcing him to re-evaluate Hannyabal’s strength.
However, after a grueling and intense battle thatsted for several rounds, Hannyabal made a mistake. An’s Golden Wolf struck his naginata, causing it to fly out of his hands.
“Crap!”
Hannyabal’s expression changed slightly and his aura seemed to copse without his weapon. In just a few moves, An shed and wounded him, even though he had used his Armament Haki to protect himself.
Seizing the opportunity, An jumped and kicked Hannyabal, sending him flying.
“Dammit, that guy is really powerful.”
Hannyabal, nursing his wound and holding his side, mbered to his feet and red at An from a distance.
“What are you all waiting for? Grab him!”
Hannyabal took a step back, wincing in pain. He was well aware that he was no match for An at the moment, and it would be foolish to engage in a fight with him.
As a Vice Warden, he ordered the marines to attack An, hoping to wear him down so that he could make a run for it and seek reinforcements. The reinforcements he had in mind were none other than the Warden of Impel Down, Magen. He believed that only Magen had what it took to defeat Allen.
However, just as he was about to make a break for it, he was shocked to see that the marines were no match for An and were easily defeated by his powerful wave-cutting sh. Hannyabal was stunned by An’s immense strength. It was clear that no matter how many marines he sent, it would be in vain.
In an instant, An appeared before Hannyabal, his shadow casting over the Vice Warden. “Think you can run away?” An taunted.
“Dammit!” Hannyabal roared, throwing a punch and activating his Armament Haki.
However, that punch was lightly deflected by An.
“Hmph, I told you, you’re not good enough yet.” The next moment, An raised his knife and fell, directly cutting off Hannyabal’s left arm with one stroke.
“Ah!”
Hannyabal let out a pained cry and instantly lost the ability to continue fighting. At the same time, a voice echoed in An’s mind: “You have defeated Hannyabal and obtained Armament Haki Mastery.”
Immediately, knowledge and experience regarding Armament Haki filled An’s mind. With An’s talent, he quickly became able to use Armament Haki proficiently.
“Dammit, how dare you cut off my hand…” Hannyabal stared at An with a furious face, having lost one hand greatly reduced hisbat power.
An coldlyughed and said, “I didn’t kill you, that’s already enough kindness.”
With that, An no longer paid attention to Hannyabal and walked toward the front.
