A new world, on an unnamed island.
The Red-Haired Pirates, the most mysterious Yonko pirate crew in the One Piece world, are taking another break.
"Redhead, the brothers are all ready."
"We're just one step away from running into Kaido!"
"According to sources, he should be passing through here soon!"
First mate Ben Li Ji Xiang?
"understood."
The redhead replied, his head bowed.
This redhead is none other than Shanks, one of the Four Emperors!
Their purpose was to intercept Kaido, who was preparing to attack the Whitebeard Pirates who were heading to Marine Headquarters to rescue Ace.
"Shanks, something terrible seems to have happened at the park!"
Lachiouju?oujuman?
"You saw it too? Hahaha!"
"Yes, Lin Feng? What a group of remarkable youngsters!"
"I never expected that terrifying guy like Barrett would also be on his ship!"
"He must have found the feeling of the captain back then in Lin Feng! I wonder how strong Barrett is now?"
Shanks, also holding a newspaper, said with a smile.
"Red-Haired Shanks, this pirate crew is quite strong, far exceeding the standards of Paradise. Why are they still lingering there? Do they have some kind of plan?"

"Who knows? As long as we don't interfere with Whitebeard's decisive battle with the Navy, it'll be fine!"
"Let's take care of what's in front of us first, then go to the Navy Headquarters to mediate the fight!"
"That guy is here!"
Shanks put down the newspaper, gripped the Griffin, and gazed at the horizon.
Dark clouds spread across the horizon, accompanied by thunder.
A dragon-like body appeared and disappeared amidst the thunderclouds...
Chapter 49 A Return to Familiar Grounds! Impel Down, a Hub of Powerful Forces!
On the eve of Ace's public execution by the Navy Headquarters.
People all over the world were looking forward to it, because the Warring States period claimed that on the day of the execution, a shocking announcement would be made.
They were all speculating what the news might be.
Is it the marshal resigning?
What is the origin of the Lin Feng Pirate Crew that suddenly appeared recently?
No one knows!
No one guessed that Ace's identity had been revealed!
Because their focus was almost entirely off on this, and they wouldn't even have guessed that Whitebeard would launch a large-scale attack on Marine Headquarters to rescue Ace.
And before that, almost every day saw major news breaking that shook the world—
Three days before the start of the battle, Lin Feng's pirate crew annihilated the pirate guerrilla force, and former Marine Admiral Zephyr was killed in action!
The day before the war began, the Navy held a solemn and grand funeral. At the same time, the Red-Haired Pirates went to war with Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, in the New World!
With the execution date fast approaching, many forces are stirring up trouble!
Impel Down, the world's number one prison!
"The prison houses serious criminals and is extremely dark and terrifying. It is monitored by various monster guards and video Den Den Mushi. Outside the prison, there are a large number of large sea kings in the sea, which is why Impel Down is known as an impregnable fortress."
"Only three pirates have escaped from here so far!"
"One of them was someone who had previously worked with Gol Dalmatian."
"The other two are Barrett and Captain Lin Feng, who are standing right in front of you!"
Above Impel Down, Shiryu pointed to the fortress below and chatted animatedly with Enel, Robin, Tesoro, and the others.
"What? The captain actually came from Impel Down?"
"Why haven't I heard him mention it?"
"Which floor was it? Why were you arrested?"
As one of the two most well-informed among the four, Tesoro asked curiously.
Robin, standing to the side, also looked on with curiosity.
Only Whitebeard Jr. and Enel were uninterested.
The former seemed unaware of the significance of Impel Down; the latter had never even heard of it before.
"Of course, it's the sixth floor!"
"As for why, I don't know either."
"I've only heard Hannibal mention that when I arrived at Impel Down, the captain was already imprisoned on Level 6."
"Back then, the captain was still a minor!"
Shiliu said with admiration.
Just thinking about it filled him with admiration for Lin Feng's mystique.
at this time.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Several strange noises came from Impel Down beneath the Ark!
Immediately afterwards, thick smoke billowed out of the ventilation vents!
Not far from Impel Down, a large wooden raft slowly sailed towards Impel Down.
A huge black sail, bearing a three-headed skull symbol, stands atop the mast in the center of the raft.
They are none other than the Seven Warlords of the Sea – the Blackbeard Pirates.
Lin Feng knew that their purpose in coming here was to recruit powerful crew members in the sixth level of Impel Down!
Seeing this, Lin Feng said softly:
"Stop chatting. The show's about to begin."
"Shiliu, Barrett, come down with me."
"The rest of you, stay and watch the ship!"
"Enel, bring the ship to shore!"
At a command, Ark Proverb slowly descended, heading towards the port at the city gate.
Hua Hua——
The surging tide, pulled by some force, continuously pounded against the ship and the dock, stirring up layers of pale white waves.
"This place is Impel Down!"
"No unauthorized personnel allowed!"
"Who goes there?!"
The soldiers guarding the gate immediately alerted the authorities when they saw the raft approaching the shore.
"Hahaha!!"
"One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! The Blackbeard Pirates, Marshall Kamen Rider..."
"Seven Warlords of the Sea should have the right to enter Impel Down, right?"
A middle-aged man with a rough, unkempt appearance and a burly build walked off the raft, laughing loudly.
He was missing a few teeth, which made him look rather comical!
"You're here to quell the internal riots?"
"Hurry up!!"
Blackbeard arrived at just the right time, leading the naval soldiers to mistakenly believe they were reinforcements sent from headquarters.
Who knows?
Not!
"A riot?! Heaven is on my side!"
"Hahaha!"
"That's right, that's exactly why we came!"
Da da da--
Blackbeard strode into the gates of Impel Down, then stopped, his right hand pointing to the ground.
"However, we must first eliminate some unnecessary entities!"
"Dark acupoint!"
Blackbeard unleashed the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit with his dark palm, releasing a vast expanse of darkness.
This darkness is like a black hole!
Where darkness covers, it is as if pulled by gravity, sucked in and sinking!
