Impel Down is located on the sixth basement floor, and the atmosphere is eerie. The air is thick with the stench of blood, making it unbearable.
Those held here are all pirates and criminals with bounties exceeding 100 million. Some of them have been erased from history by the World Government due to their heinous crimes.
"Hey, the noise above is a bit loud. Did someone escape from prison?"
A muffled voice echoed from a nearby cell.
"Impossible! The prisoners above are all a bunch of trash. How could they possibly escape from here?"
There is a hierarchy in Impel Down, and the pirates imprisoned on the sixth floor look down on those in the five floors above.
"Could someone have breached Impel Down?"
"It would be interesting if that's the case!"
A pirate said with a grin.
"What? You want to get out?"
"Nonsense! You don't want to get out?"
"If the intruder can let me out, I'll gladly accept him as my subordinate."
"Hahahaha! You're so kind! If it were me, I'd kill him directly!"
"It would be an honor for him to die by my hands!"
"Hahaha!"
A group of pirates laughed arrogantly, their vile nature fully on display.
The prisoners here are all villains and scum who commit all kinds of crimes, and betrayal is commonplace for them.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted the pirates' clamor, and the entrance gate to the sixth underground floor was shattered.
Ten footsteps echoed through the smoke and dust. Although the sound was faint, it thundered in the ears of all the pirates.
"There are really intruders!"
"This is my chance!"
The eyes of many pirates gleamed, and they immediately shouted towards the intruder.
"Hey, no matter who you are, let me out! As long as you set me free, I'll give you a lot of money."
"And me! Let me out, and I'll make you my subordinate. I'm a great pirate with a bounty of 490 million!"
"Let me out quickly! I'll get back to the sea, and I'll make sure to pay back those damn Marines who dared to humiliate me!"
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Countless pirates beat on the bars of their cells, roaring loudly.
"Shut up, you bastards!"
Lucifer shouted angrily, and a terrifying murderous aura immediately filled the entire sixth underground floor.
The temperature of the air dropped rapidly, and countless pirates felt a chill spread through their bodies, as though their blood had frozen.
Lucifer's murderous aura was no joke—it was so overwhelming that it could kill at a glance.
Even without Conqueror's Haki, just the sheer presence of his murderous intent was enough to send people into a state of terror.
The pirates on the sixth floor finally saw Lucifer's face clearly, their eyes widening in disbelief.
They hadn't expected the intruder to be a handsome young man. Shouldn't such a pretty boy be pampered by wealthy women? How could he exude such a terrifying aura?
With a blank expression, Lucifer passed by the cells, heading toward the door of a particular cell.
A few cold flashes lit up, and the fence of the cell was sliced into pieces.
"Hey, are you still alive?"
"Fortunately, Captain Lucifer came to my rescue. This is shameful..."
Katakuri staggered out of the cell, dragging his severely injured body.
"Okay, I'm not just here to save you."
"This is the largest hunting ground in the world. I've wanted to come here for a long time!"
Lucifer glanced at the cages surrounding him, the countless prisoners, and his eyes glinted coldly, his murderous intent rising sharply.
To Lucifer, these were just living targets.
If he killed all the people here, the harvest would be immensely rich.
"Let's start with him."
"Flying Sword!"
With a flick of his finger, Lucifer's flying sword pierced through the air, instantly striking through the heart of the man behind Katakuri.
It was the unconscious Klocke Dahl.
Poor Logia user, who was ruthlessly killed by Lucifer while in a coma.
"Ding, Host killed Pirate Klocke Dahl and gained 30,000 killing points."
30,000? That was far too cheap.
Lucifer frowned in disapproval.
Killing so many Shichibukai, but Klocke Dahl's life was valued the lowest.
Clearly, Dahl's life had deteriorated too much, which led to his weakness.
This only proves that otaku don't end well.
"Rebirth."
Lucifer successfully obtained the Sand-Sand Fruit.
After all, it was a Logia Devil Fruit, which held great value.
Upon system appraisal, the Sand-Sand Fruit was worth 90,000 killing points—three times the value of Klocke Dahl.
People aren't valuable, but Dahl's miserable state made him too cheap.
"Hey, hey, this kid isn't kind."
"That's right, Klocke Dahl said he'd kill him!"
"What's the background of this guy?"
Lucifer's reputation had spread recently, but these pirates in the sixth underground floor had no contact with the outside world and didn't know him.
But they knew Klocke Dahl.
Lucifer killed Dahl without a second thought, and the terrifying murderous aura made the pirates realize that Lucifer was not someone to be trifled with.
Although he looked like a young boy, he was, in reality, a monster.
"Alright, time to get down to business."
Lucifer put the Sand-Sand Fruit away and walked toward the inner cages lining both sides of the corridor.
"Hey, trash, want to get out?"
Lucifer's voice echoed throughout the sixth basement.
"If only…"
"Think about it. I want to get out! Let me out now!"
"And me! Let us out!"
Before Lucifer could finish speaking, several pirates interrupted him.
A group of pirates hammered on the fences of their cells, roaring loudly.
Lucifer's face darkened, and he growled lowly, "Blade Storm!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as the words left his mouth, space itself seemed to tear open, and countless flying swords shot out, instantly turning several pirates into porcupines.
The sixth underground floor fell into deadly silence, with many pirates staring at Lucifer in terror, trembling in fear.
Lucifer was too cruel, too moody. He killed without hesitation, never giving anyone a chance!
"I don't like being interrupted when I'm speaking!"
"If anyone else wants to court death, they can try it!"
Lucifer's face remained cold, and his brutal methods shocked all the pirates.
For a while, none of the pirates dared to speak.
"Ding, Host killed Pirate Rossdar and gained 13,500 killing points."
"Ding, Host killed Pirate Mord Guysa and gained 10,500 killing points."
"Ding, Host killed Pirate Kazkerna and gained 11,000 killing points."
The system's beeps echoed, but Lucifer ignored them.
His gaze remained fixed on the countless pirates around him.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lucifer, captain of the Ghost Pirates."
"Impel Down has been breached by me. Currently, Marine Admiral Aokiji and Magellan are guarding outside."
"At the same time, Marine reinforcements are on their way. Marine and Admirals will all come!"
"Is there anyone here who wants to join me?"
"If so, raise my flag, and freedom is yours immediately!"
After Lucifer finished speaking, a roar echoed throughout the sixth floor.
This time, they were allowed to respond.
"Marine Admiral? How interesting!"
"Let me out! I'm willing to join you!"
"And me! As long as you free me, I'll do anything!"
"I still have buried treasure outside! Just let me out, and all my treasure will belong to you!"
Freedom was within their reach, and no pirate was willing to let it slip away.
"It's good to agree, but I don't need so many men."
"A weakling is not qualified to be my subordinate!"
As soon as his words fell, Lucifer unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.
The overwhelming Conqueror's field enveloped the entire sixth underground floor in an instant.
The blood-red aura of his Conqueror's Haki condensed into a physical form, turning into countless weapons that struck with deadly force.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
In a matter of seconds, countless pirates lost consciousness and collapsed, their bodies crushed into pieces, leaving no bones behind.
A few managed to resist the pressure of Lucifer's Conqueror's Haki, but they were gravely injured, vomiting blood profusely.
Only a handful of pirates remained intact.
"What!!!"
"What is this?"
"It's Conqueror's Haki! How can it be so powerful?"
"Can Conqueror's Haki really auto-attack?"
Many pirates on the sixth floor possessed Conqueror's Haki, but none had ever seen it used like this.
When they unleashed their own Conqueror's Haki, it was easily overwhelmed by Lucifer's.
Lucifer's Conqueror's Haki was in an entirely different league, one that the pirates simply couldn't fathom.
