It had been a while since Chiyu used his Shadow Clone Jutsu—but when he did, it was all or nothing.
In an instant, one man turned into an entire army.
Normally, Chiyu avoided using ninja techniques in this world—not because he couldn't, but because when he arrived here, he told himself he'd rely on new power systems, not the ones from his past.
But this wasn't a normal situation.
If it were just him, it wouldn't matter how many enemies there were—he'd tear through them all.
But Smoker was behind him, cuffed with seastone and completely helpless.
Chiyu could rampage all he wanted, but someone needed to protect Smoker.
So screw it—he went all out.
Hundreds of shadow clones burst onto the battlefield at once.
Yes, it split his chakra, technically weakening his main body… but that didn't really matter.
His real power now came from Haki, Devil Fruit abilities, and the fighting styles of the One Piece world.
In short, the nerf barely registered.
The battlefield flipped immediately.
Those overwhelming numbers the guards once had? Gone in seconds.
Clones poured in, cutting down jailers, monsters, and security beasts left and right. Screams and blood followed.
Before long, the battle was completely one-sided.
Zephyr, Shuzo, Blade, Baby 5, and the others finally caught their breath and went full throttle, pushing back every guard in Impel Down.
Magellan looked shaken.
Where the hell is Admiral Akainu?!
Why hasn't he shown up yet?!
If this kept up, not only would Smoker escape—the entire prison could fall apart.
Did he really have to use that backup plan?
He hesitated.
But deep in Level 6, a low, creepy voice echoed from the darkness.
"Magellan…"
"You know what you need to do."
"You need my power."
Every jailer nearby froze. Their faces went pale.
"Wait… that voice… no way…"
Magellan sighed. "Will you help me?"
"Wrong question," the voice said. "Can you trust me?"
Magellan paused.
"…I'll temporarily release you. Help me end this mess and I'll consider reducing your sentence. But in return—stop this chaos. No exceptions."
"Fine."
With no other option, Magellan gave the order.
"Open his cell!"
"Yes, Warden!"
The door creaked open—and a tall, cold-blooded figure stepped out, oozing killing intent.
Shiryu of the Rain.
Chiyu immediately recognized him.
The former Chief Warden of Impel Down—a monster second only to Magellan.
Brutal. Bloodthirsty. Completely unhinged.
He didn't just kill prisoners for fun—he murdered fellow guards without blinking.
Magellan had once fought and defeated him, locking him in Level 6 with a death sentence… delayed only out of respect for past service.
But now?
With Akainu still missing and no one else strong enough to fight Chiyu and Zephyr together, Magellan had no choice.
A guard handed Shiryu his blade.
"Raiu… Heh. Good to see you again."
Zephyr scowled.
"That lunatic…"
"Shiryu the Butcher. As much as I hate the guy, he's dangerous.
Chiyu, I've got him. You deal with Magellan."
"If Akainu shows up… the three of them together…"
Chiyu replied coolly:
"He won't."
"How do you know that?"
"I planned for this. You focus on your fight."
Zephyr grinned.
"Heh. I underestimated you, Chiyu."
"Alright then—let's tear this place apart!"
Zephyr charged forward, Haki blazing, smashing through the air with his giant mechanical arm.
Shiryu responded in kind, his blood-red sword gleaming as he swung down.
Chiyu turned his attention to Magellan.
"What the hell did you do?!" Magellan shouted.
"Why hasn't Sakazuki arrived?!"
Chiyu smirked. "Why would I tell you anything?"
"Then I'll just kill you myself! Poison Cloud!"
Toxic mist exploded from Magellan's body, spreading fast in every direction.
Anyone who touched it would instantly lose control of their body—even their senses. Total system shutdown.
Even his own guards ran for their lives.
The prisoners weren't so lucky.
Screams echoed. Bodies dropped. Foam frothed from their mouths.
But Chiyu?
He didn't even blink.
"That move just backfires on you."
He transformed into lightning and blasted upward, dodging every bit of the toxic gas.
Then—BOOM!—a bolt of lightning struck down toward Magellan.
The warden dodged at the last second and summoned a massive Poison Channel, sliding up through it and launching into the air.
"Poison Corridor!"
Using it as a springboard, he shot to the ceiling and hurled down Poison Gas Bullets—massive bubbles filled with tear gas that exploded all around Chiyu.
Chiyu rolled his eyes.
One flick of his arm and lightning dragons tore through every bubble.
The gas didn't even graze him.
Magellan frowned.
"Yeah… poison doesn't work on lightning."
"Took you long enough," Chiyu replied.
But Magellan wasn't done.
"You think I wasn't ready for you?!"
From all sides, guards appeared, carrying custom-made weapons.
Smoker's eyes widened.
"Watch out, Chiyu! Those are seastone bullets—and seastone nets!"
A volley of bullets rained down.
Even a Logia user like Chiyu could be seriously hurt by those.
And then—WHAM!—a giant seastone net dropped from the ceiling.
It was a trap. Carefully planned. No matter where he dodged, he'd be caught.
"Wow. You really went all-in trying to catch me…"
But Chiyu wasn't fazed.
He turned into lightning and shot downward, frying the gunners below.
The net? Missed entirely.
Then—CRACK!—he blasted into the prison cells, smashing the bars and vanishing inside.
"He went inside the cells?!"
Magellan followed.
Outside, the seastone net took down several Devil Fruit users.
Even Zoan-empowered guards slumped, powerless.
But fighters like Zephyr, Shiryu, Shuzo, and the others who didn't rely on powers broke free and kept fighting.
Inside, Magellan smirked.
"You're stuck in here with me now. This space is tight—perfect for my poison. That's why the Navy put me in charge of this place."
But Chiyu stared him down.
"You think I was forced in here? Nah. I wanted you in here."
"What?"
"Out there, I'd have to protect my allies from your poison. In here? No distractions. I can go all out."
Magellan narrowed his eyes.
"So what's your plan, then? How do you avoid my Poison Dragon?"
Suddenly—BOOM—three monstrous purple serpents burst from his body and lunged at Chiyu.
Touching them even once would mean certain death.
But Chiyu simply raised his hand.
Three lightning dragons exploded out, collided head-on with the poison serpents, and—KRA-KOOM!
The cellblock exploded in thunder and venom.
All the criminals nearby? Instantly vaporized.
"You don't care if you kill them?!"
"That's the point. I came here to execute them."
Magellan shivered.
This wasn't just some rogue ninja—this was the Executioner the legends spoke of. The killer of killers.
"Then take this! Let's end it right here!"
"Poisonous Giant Soldier: Hell's Judgment!"
A giant crimson skeleton erupted from Magellan's body—twisted, horrifying, and dripping with lethal poison. It looked like a demon straight out of hell.
Chiyu just grinned.
"Wanna see real hell?"
"Raijin Descent!"
A massive lightning god erupted from the wreckage, standing tall to face the Poisonous Giant Soldier.
Everyone who saw them was stunned.
Two monsters. Two gods. Poison and thunder.
