As he finally saw the figure standing at the cell door in full, an icy chill surged through Shot's heart.
A towering, powerful physique.
Scales covering the entire body.
A dragon's tail dragging across the ground.
And those fierce, domineering eyes.
It was as if Shot had been transported back to that day over a decade ago—his brief encounter with that monster on the seas of the New World.
"K-K-Kaido?!"
Shot, sitting on the ground in shock, opened his mouth wide, his eyes trembling violently.
"Interesting... Even trash like you has crossed paths with Kaido? I'm curious—how did he not kill you? Was it because..."
Rorschach's right foot, now transformed into a thick, hoofed claw, stomped down toward Shot's face.
"...you're just too worthless?"
Boom!
The air inside the cell instantly exploded, snapping Shot out of his fear-induced daze.
"N-No! You're not that monster Kaido!"
Then, humiliation twisted his bloated face with anger. Roaring, he swung his thick arms to meet Rorschach's descending hoof.
"50 Million Volts: Heavenly Thunder Spear!"
Zzzzzzt!
A surge of raging lightning burst forth from Rorschach's hoof, condensing in the air into a dazzling electric spear. As his foot came crashing down, the spear followed like the collapse of the heavens.
Shkk!
"Arghhh!"
The blinding electric spear pierced straight through Shot's incoming hand without resistance, charring his entire arm to blackened ash.
Then, Rorschach's scaled hoof descended, slamming heavily into Shot's bloated face, smashing his massive head into the cell floor.
Boom!
A powerful gust erupted within the cell, scattering years of accumulated dust.
The iron-hard ground caved in deeply under the impact.
Baskerville Shot's upper body was embedded into the floor, his bones creaking under the immense pressure.
"Arghhh! Damn Navy brat! I'll kill you!"
Humiliation burned through Shot's veins, his eyes turning bloodshot with rage.
Roaring, he pushed against the ground, attempting to rise.
At the same time, a dense layer of jet-black Armament Haki surged over his massive body, coating it entirely.
Standing at nearly six meters tall, Shot possessed formidable raw strength.
Even within the Eternal Hell, deprived of proper nourishment, surviving only on meager rations barely enough to sustain life...
A strong man remained strong.
Even in weakness, he would not tolerate humiliation from a weaker opponent.
Rorschach's hoof, pressing down on Shot, was gradually lifted as Shot pushed himself up.
With bloodshot eyes, he forced his massive upper body out of the crater, his blackened torso gleaming under the dim light.
With a deafening roar like thunder, his two-meter-long, Haki-coated fist shot toward Rorschach's abdomen.
"100 Million Volts..."
Rorschach's expression remained unchanged as a more intense, blinding surge of electricity exploded from his right foot.
Bolts of thick lightning twisted and crackled across his massive frame, raining down upon Shot like a divine judgment.
"Extreme!"
"Thunderstorm Annihilation!"
Rumble!
In an instant—
The entire Eternal Hell echoed with nothing but the earth-shattering roar of thunder.
Colossal lightning pillars, as thick as dragons, tore through Shot's Haki-covered body, sending violent tremors through his flesh and muscles, peeling skin apart.
Agonizing screams filled the cell as his body convulsed uncontrollably under the relentless electric onslaught.
Originally, the hands that were lifting Rorschach's right foot suddenly lost strength, and the entire person was once again stomped down into the pit by Luo Xia's foot.
The rampaging lightning formed a ten-meter-wide pool of electricity, filling the entire cell where Shot was imprisoned.
In his blue-scaled form, Rorschach stood with one foot pressing down on the constantly wailing Baskerville Shot, bolts of terrifying lightning continuously piercing through Shot's body back and forth.
The crackling explosions and blinding white flashes of electricity illuminated the Eternal Hell, flickering between light and darkness.
Shot's screams grew weaker and fainter.
In mere seconds, the once mighty "Great Wine Barrel" Baskerville Shot had been reduced to a smoldering, human-shaped lump of charcoal.
Zzzzt!
Silver arcs of electricity crackled along the dim walls, illuminating the shocked and ruthless faces of the surrounding prisoners.
"Whoa, whoa... is this a joke? Did the Great Wine Barrel really just die like that?"
"That navy brat... what's with that form? He looks just like that bastard Kaido!"
"There's no doubt—he's definitely a Zoan Mythical-type Devil Fruit user!"
"Could it be... that Kaido is already dead? And the Fish-Fish Fruit, Azure Dragon form, ended up in that navy brat's hands?"
Rorschach's body shrank back to normal as he bent down and walked out of Shot's cell, holding the key ring in his hand, heading towards the other cells in the corridor.
This time, far fewer prisoners dared to shout or provoke him.
Wherever Rorschach's gaze swept, many prisoners wisely avoided eye contact, shying away from his icy stare.
"Poor Shot, meow~ No more drinks for him now, meow."
"Muhuhuhu... what a ruthless navy officer. Just like that, he took down a pirate worth billions of berries."
In a slightly larger cell, two inmates—one a tall man with sea prism stone cuffs and horns on his head, and the other a long-nosed female prisoner—sat close together. They showed no fear of Shot's gruesome fate, instead watching Luo Xia with amused expressions.
Rorschach paused and immediately walked towards their cell.
The two prisoners, known as the "Corrupt King" Avalo Pizarro and the "Crescent Moon Hunter" Catarina Devon, exchanged a glance, both slightly startled.
What's going on?
Is there something wrong with this navy brat?
They hadn't said anything provocative, merely voiced their thoughts quietly.
But judging from his demeanor, did he plan to deal with them the same way he did that unfortunate Shot?
As Rorschach approached Pizarro and Devon's cell, every prisoner in Eternal Hell turned their attention back to him once again.
"What is he trying to do?"
"Does he plan to take out Pizarro and Crescent Moon Hunter too?"
"Even though they're wearing sea prism stone cuffs, there are two of them in there!"
Watching Rorschach insert the key into the lock again, both Pizarro and Devon furrowed their brows.
"Navy! What do you think you're doing?"
Pizarro's expression darkened.
"Rorschach."
Rorschach pushed the heavy iron door open with an ear-piercing creak.
"What?" Pizarro was stunned.
"My name. Rorschach."
Rorschach shook the keyring in his hand and tossed it onto the ground in front of them, just under four meters away.
Gulp.
The sound of Pizarro swallowing echoed in the cell.
His pupils shrank instantly as he cast a discreet glance toward Catarina Devon.
Having spent some time together in the same cell, the two shared a certain level of mutual understanding.
The moment Devon caught Pizarro's subtle look, she immediately understood his plan.
He wanted her to distract the navy brat so he could grab the keys and unlock his sea prism stone cuffs.
Pizarro's abilities were unique.
If he could free himself from the cuffs, they might actually have a chance to escape Impel Down together.
Thoughts raced through her mind, and in an instant, Devon made up her mind.
"Muhuhuhu... so the navy boy's name is Rorschach, huh?"
She swayed her hips seductively, her ample curves trembling as she bent forward, exposing a generous view of her chest, then suddenly leaped towards Rorschach.
Almost simultaneously, Pizarro lunged forward like a nimble cat, his large frame curling up as he reached out to grab the keys on the ground.
"Remember my name—because it will become your worst nightmare."
"Iron Fist: Meteor Shower!"
