Chapter 85: Wait until I get out and kill you all!
After putting on the Sea Stone Handcuffs again, Ren Arakawa, who had received a poison injection, was pushed into a prison cell.
"Rot in here for the rest of your life!"
As the cell door was closed, Ren Arakawa was once again sentenced to life imprisonment.
The people in the prison cell seemed to have no curiosity whatsoever about the new inmate, all huddled silently in the corners.
In the corner, the figures of two prisoners huddled together. Their appearances had almost exceeded the boundaries of human form; starvation had tormented them beyond recognition.
One prisoner's skin was stretched taut over his skeleton, as if a thin layer of paper covered his protruding bones. Every rib was clearly visible, as if it could pierce through that fragile skin at any moment.
His cheeks were sunken, his eye sockets deep as black holes. The luster of life had long vanished from his eyes, leaving only two empty abysses.
His arms were as thin as dry branches, veins bulging. His fingers had become elongated due to starvation, and his fingernails were brittle and cracked.
The entire person looked like a walking skeleton, with only a faint breath left to prove he was still alive.
The condition of the other prisoner was even more terrifying. His skin had turned grayish-white due to extreme starvation, emitting an unhealthy luster, as if his vitality was slowly draining from his body.
His lips were so dry and cracked they couldn't close, revealing his incomplete teeth within. His gums had receded due to lack of nutrition, making his teeth appear exceptionally prominent.
His clothes were torn and tattered, hanging on his body as if on a skeleton, unable to cover his almost vanished muscles and withered skin.
Seeing the state of the two inmates, Ren Arakawa felt as if he was looking at his own future. He tried to forcefully tug at the Sea Stone chains, only to find that their sturdiness far exceeded his imagination.
"Hmph!"
The "skeleton" inmate on the left, who was relatively less starved, let out a sneer when he saw Ren Arakawa actually trying to tug at the Sea Stone Handcuffs.
Ren Arakawa glanced at the other man, remaining silent, and continued to tug at the Sea Stone Handcuffs.
After much effort, the handcuffs remained the same. Pirate Ren Arakawa was already sweating profusely, his gaze growing hazy.
"Stop struggling. Once you're locked in here, you can't get out."
The skeleton paused, an abnormal smile appearing on his face, "No, there is a way to get out. Become a corpse and be thrown into the incinerator! Hahahaha!"
Compared to the prisoners struggling for survival in Crimson Hell on the first underground floor and Fierce Beast Hell on the second underground floor, the prisoners in Starvation Prison had already lost all will.
Those who were still alive were all mentally unstable psychopaths.
Those who were sane had already been unable to bear the torture and ended their own lives.
As it happened, Pirate Ren Arakawa was also not a mentally normal person. He used all his strength to smash the Sea Stone chains against the cell door, which was also made of Sea Stone.
"Clang, clang!" The collision echoed in the small cell, the sharp, piercing sound making the already uneasy two inmates even more irritable.
Especially the "skeleton" who had been silent all along.
The "skeleton's" voice was hoarse and low, carrying a threatening tone: "Boy, do you want to die?"
Ren Arakawa had smashed for a long time, his strength exhausted, yet he couldn't even leave a mark on the cell door. He was naturally burning with rage.
He turned his head, his eyes flashing with an unyielding gleam, and questioned the prisoner who spoke: "You're already in this state; can you even kill me?"
Before his words fell, the seemingly frail prisoner suddenly moved.
His movement was surprisingly swift. As he raised his leg, a visible white light shot out from it, aimed directly at Ren Arakawa!
The light was extremely fast, reaching Ren Arakawa's front in an instant!
Ren Arakawa's eyes narrowed. Under the effect of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he almost instinctively dodged sideways, barely avoiding this fatal blow!
The white light shot through the cell door, hitting the wall behind Ren Arakawa and emitting a muffled sound. It left a deep mark on the wall, with stone chips splattering everywhere!
The tense atmosphere in the prison cell instantly escalated, and Ren Arakawa was also startled.
He hadn't expected this seemingly frail prisoner to actually hide such a killing move.
Ren Arakawa's eyes became even more vigilant, his body tensing, preparing to respond to the next possible attack.
However, that "skeleton" stopped his intention to attack further, and asked strangely, "Observation Haki?"
The other prisoner, skinny as a rail, retorted, "No, it's not the feeling of Observation Haki."
"That's strange, how did he dodge it?"
"No matter how he dodged it, let's eat first!"
The two loudly conspired in front of Ren Arakawa, which even made Ren Arakawa chuckle.
He punched towards the inmate closest to him.
However, when Ren Arakawa's fist landed on the seemingly frail inmate, he felt as if he had hit a hard iron plate.
A powerful rebound force transmitted from his fist, making his arm go numb!
"Iron Block!"
These two prisoners could actually use Rokushiki techniques!
No wonder Starvation Prison, for which the bounties of all its inmates exceeded 50 million Berry, contained prisoners who were all at the level of minor bosses.
In the tense atmosphere where battle could erupt at any moment, the three people in the prison cell prepared themselves for battle.
However, just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the corridor. The sound was heavy and powerful, as if every step was treading on people's hearts!
As the footsteps approached, an extremely strong oppressive feeling swept over the entire prison cell, as if even the air had become dense.
The two skeleton inmates, upon feeling this aura, immediately shrank back into the corners of the prison cell like frightened animals. Their movements revealed obvious fear and submission.
Although Ren Arakawa felt puzzled, his intuition told him that the person who was about to appear was no ordinary individual.
Soon, a face appeared at the cell door. It was a cold and ruthless face, with killing intent that could almost condense into a physical form burning in his eyes.
The one who arrived was Shiryu of the Rain!
Shiryu of the Rain said nothing; he merely stood there quietly, but his aura was already enough to plummet the temperature in the prison cell.
He slowly raised his hand. The knife in his hand gleamed with a cold light, clearly ready to slash towards Ren Arakawa in the cell!
"Shiryu!"
As the knife light slashed down, a ball of purple liquid shot at the spot where Shiryu of the Rain had just stood!
Shiryu of the Rain dodged swiftly, let out a cold snort at Ren Arakawa, and left Ren Arakawa's sight.
Looking at the steaming Sea Stone door, Ren Arakawa narrowed his eyes.
The hardness of Sea Stone was such that even the Poison Man Magellan's venom couldn't corrode it.
Before Ren Arakawa could think much longer, a person with a similarly strong oppressive feeling walked to the cell door.
The jailer next to Magellan held a piece of paper and recited to Ren Arakawa: "The judgment is as follows: Harming jailers, killing jailer beasts, attempted prison break..."
"Now, transferred from Crimson Hell to Starvation Prison, Room I-31-5."
After reciting, the jailer bowed to Magellan and held up the judgment letter, saying: "The judgment has been issued! Please, Deputy Warden, pronounce the judgment!"
Magellan took the judgment letter and asked Ren Arakawa in the cell, "Do you obey the judgment?"
"I do not accept."
"Do not accept?" Magellan doubted his ears, "What do you not accept?"
Ren Arakawa's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly. Facing the nearly 5-meter-tall Poison Man Magellan, he roared in anger: "I didn't commit any crime; on what grounds did you arrest me and bring me here?!"
Magellan was somewhat perplexed. He looked at Ren Arakawa's information on the judgment letter. "Seven years ago, you were imprisoned in Crimson Hell for participating in human trafficking and stealing Celestial Dragon valuables. Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing the reason for his imprisonment, Ren Arakawa laughed wildly, "Ha! Seven years ago, I was only seven years old, participating in human trafficking..."
Magellan snorted coldly, "An innately evil seed."
"Hahaha!" Ren Arakawa looked into Magellan's eyes, slowly speaking word by word.
"Wait until I get out, and I'll kill you all!"
