Chapter 147: Oscar-Worthy Duo
"What kind of power is this?"
"Oh no… I can't move at all!"
"Boss Buggy, please think of something!"
The prisoners following Buggy cried out in alarm.
Some of them were covered in venom, their bodies burning as if on fire. Others couldn't withstand the intense gravity, collapsing and spitting blood before passing out.
At the same time, Fujitora, with his eyes closed and wearing wooden sandals, descended the steps, gripping his cane sword. He asked Magellan and the others, "What's the situation now?"
He had been sleeping soundly when a few guards woke him up, saying there was a prison break on the sixth level. A prisoner named Clown Buggy had instantly defeated Vivian with a single punch.
Someone in Impel Down could one-punch Vivian? Not even Warden Magellan could do that, right? This piqued his curiosity.
"Where's Vivian? Is he okay?" Fujitora asked.
"I'm here!" Vivian raised his hands and walked leisurely through Fujitora's gravity field.
"Are you alright?" Fujitora asked upon hearing his voice.
"Uh… just a minor injury," Vivian replied, glancing at the still-fighting Magellan and the struggling Buggy on the ground. He then whispered something in Fujitora's ear.
A few seconds later, Fujitora, slightly surprised by Vivian's words, thought for a moment before lightly moving his fingers.
Suddenly, Buggy, who had been struggling under the gravity, felt a sudden relief. He stood up, bewildered, and jumped around. Seeing this, the other prisoners showed expressions of joy.
"Boss Buggy, save us!"
"Boss Buggy, take down that blind guy!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
Buggy, feeling emboldened, threw a clown knife straight at Fujitora's chest. He wasn't sure of Fujitora's strength and wanted to test him. But…
Bang!
The knife stabbed Fujitora's body and he flew like a cannonball, crashing into the wall and leaving a dent, with bricks falling to the ground.
Buggy: ???
Even Vivian couldn't help but twitch at the sight.
"Just act a little, will you? You're so dedicated!" Vivian thought. "If you don't win the next Oscar for Best Actor, I won't accept it!"
Buggy, retrieving his hands, turned to look at Vivian.
Vivian: "…"
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not stopping you. Are you crazy?"
Turning, Buggy aimed his blade at Vivian.
"Chop-Chop Clown Knife!"
"Ah!"
With a scream, Vivian flew back even faster than Fujitora, crashing into the opposite wall and leaving a deep dent.
…
"Poison Dragon!"
The poison surrounding him formed three enormous poison dragons, which instantly swept through the okama unit, corroding many of them, including Ivankov, and rendering them immobile.
Covered in poison, Ivankov lay on the ground, his eyes blurry as he looked at Magellan slowly approaching him. In a very weak voice, he said, "Damn bastard… We, the okama from Newkama Land, will never… surrender to the Navy…"
Bang!
Magellan kicked Ivankov in the stomach, sending him flying to the side. He then looked at Vivian and Fujitora, who were lying among the rubble not far away, and instinctively frowned.
Is that pirate named Buggy really that strong?
He managed to defeat Fujitora, who could hold off Blackbeard Teach…
Magellan's expression became serious. After pondering for a moment, he took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and called Navy Headquarters.
…
The scene switches back to Buggy's perspective.
After several attempts to move his prisoner followers from the ground failed, Buggy gave up and ran up the stairs.
He was about to escape from Impel Down…
As long as he could see the light again, he could freely search for treasure on the sea once more.
As for the followers he made in prison…
Their lives weren't as important as his own, right?
If he stayed on the fourth level any longer, what if he got poisoned by Magellan's toxins?
Even though he had become stronger, able to defeat the Thunder Swordsman in one strike and awakened Conqueror's Haki, that didn't mean he could withstand poison.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Buggy ran up the stairs with all his might. But after running for less than five minutes, a strong stench suddenly swept up from behind.
"What's going on?"
Instinctively turning his head, he saw a giant poison soldier, resembling a skeleton, appear within his field of vision. Everything it touched, including the walls, was corroded and melted into liquid.
Buggy was almost scared to death at the sight of it.
This was Magellan's strongest move, the Poison Giant: Judgment of Hell!
After finishing his call, Magellan, realizing how "strong" Buggy really was, decided to show him the utmost respect.
Terrified, Buggy ran with all his might.
Soon.
The main gate of Impel Down.
Chased by the poison soldier, Buggy rushed out the door and without hesitation, dove into the sea.
Even though he was a Devil Fruit user and would lose all his strength upon touching the sea, making him vulnerable, it was still better than facing the terrifying poison behind him.
Having witnessed the devastation caused by the poison in the prison, Buggy knew that if he touched it, he would likely be corroded into nothing. Naturally, he knew what choice to make.
Just as he jumped into the sea and was about to lose consciousness.
A shark suddenly emerged from the water, carrying Buggy on its back, and sped towards the half-open Gate of Justice.
