Black Clover: The Son of Fire Dragon Igneel

Chapter 532: SFDI - 532

Time had returned to one day before, and Luffy had officially issued the request for rescue to Drake.

Drake had pried open Nami’s teary-eyed fingers without any mercy, snatching the box that had been filled with money, and he had then set off.

The location of Impel Down hadn’t been a secret, and Shakky had had an Eternal Pose that had been pointing there.

Drake hadn’t even brought Stella this time, and he had flown to above Impel Down directly on Bird.

Impel Down had been a tower-shaped building that had had a total of seven levels, and six of them had been below the surface of the sea, which had been the main prison areas.

And the first level above ground had been where the marines had been stationed and the various systems had been located.

Looking down from a high place, the architecture of the first level above ground had been like a fortress, and the marine warships had been docked around this fortress.

Who had built Impel Down had been an unsolved mystery, but the most likely possibility had been that it had been a legacy that had been left behind by the giant kingdom from eight hundred years ago, and the World Government had just controlled this place later on, using it as a prison.

It wasn’t that Drake had been looking down on the World Government, but they hadn’t had the technical power to build such a spectacular building at all.

It wasn’t that the World Government hadn’t had this kind of strength, but the technology that the World Government had valued had all been in terms of weapons.

Vegapunk had created so much black technology on Egghead Island, and any of it that had been taken out could have changed the level of civilization in this world. But the only things that had been taken out to be used in the end had been the Pacifistas, the Seraphim, and the Mother Flame, whose true form had been unknown.

It would have obviously been impossible for them to have built this kind of building just to lock up criminals.

But Impel Down had indeed been very suitable to be a prison, and it had locked up so many pirates who had once roamed the seas, and only Shiki, that ruthless person, had escaped in the records, and no one had ever attacked from the outside.

Drake had indeed had the confidence to attack Impel Down by force, but it would have been truly troublesome to fight all the way from the entrance on the first level above ground to the sixth level, the Infinite Hell, rescuing Ace and then fighting back up.

What had been most important had been that accidents could have happened, and who knew if there had been any mechanisms in Impel Down that hadn’t been displayed in the original plot.

So Drake would be carrying out a perfect infiltration this time! Of course, not the kind where he would kill all of the people who had seen him.

And to infiltrate, he naturally had to do it from a place that the enemies hadn’t expected.

So Drake had spread his arms on Bird’s back, jumping down with a Leap of Faith directly, diving headfirst into the seawater.

That’s right, Impel Down hadn’t only had one entrance, the main gate, and there had also been other ways to enter.

Even if they could have created a sea current that had led from Enies Lobby or the marine headquarters to Impel Down through the Gates of Justice, it had still been quite dangerous to sail in the Calm Belt before Vegapunk had invented the seastone ship.

So Impel Down’s supplies naturally couldn’t have completely relied on the outside, so Impel Down had always gone to the sea to hunt sea beasts and even sea kings to use as food.

And there had been a passageway in the sea that had been for the Jailer Beasts who had been in charge of hunting to enter and exit.

On one hand, that passageway had been strictly monitored, and only the internal mechanisms could have controlled its opening.

And on the other hand, the entrance had been in the sea, and a large number of sea kings had also been lingering nearby.

Apart from the special creatures in Impel Down that had been called Blugori, there hadn’t been anyone who could have freely entered and exited here.

Drake had put on a metal mask, and this magic tool could have filtered out the oxygen in the water like gills.

The low temperatures, high pressure, and darkness in the seawater couldn’t have affected Drake’s actions. Drake had entered the deep sea quickly like a fish.

Like a shark, Drake had captured the bloody smell that had still existed after the seawater had been filtered, so he had chased after it directly.

Ignoring a scene of a sea king preying, Drake had finally found his target.

They had been a group of creatures that had been light on top and dark on the bottom, and had been blue all over, and their lower bodies had been fluffy, but their upper bodies, including their heads, had been bald, and they had only had a skull on their faces.

Those had been the Jailer Beasts that had been unique to Impel Down, who had been called the Sea Fighting Experts, the Blugori.

These creatures, who had looked somewhat derpy, had been carrying giant battle axes in their hands, slaughtering the surrounding sea beasts fiercely.

Even though their figures had only been similar to ordinary brown bears, these Jailer Beasts of Impel Down could have slain sea beasts that had been tens of meters or even hundreds of meters in length.

After a battle, they had taken away their spoils. They had even left behind a portion of minced meat to lure new sea beasts to use as prey for the next time. It had looked like these guys hadn’t been irrational beasts.

Drake had been extra careful, quietly following these Blugori. Drake had had an idea after seeing a sea beast corpse that a Blugori had been carrying, and he had gotten closer deliberately, sticking to the gaps in the layers of shells.

That Blugori hadn’t noticed the extra weight in its hands at all, and it had passed through the underwater entrance of Impel Down with Drake just like this.

Everything had been progressing smoothly, and after having moved for a period of time after escaping the seawater, Drake had sensed that there had only been three auras from the outside.

A cook who had been in charge of dismembering had only felt a blur before his eyes, but there hadn’t been anything when he had looked carefully. Drake had already left this place while he had been thinking that he had seen things.

The first stage of this perfect infiltration had been completed successfully just like this.

After leaving the kitchen, he had walked into a corridor, and Drake had seen special creatures that had been perched on the ceiling before he had even walked out very far.

Those had been special Den Den Mushi, which could have transmitted the images within their field of vision to other places, so they had been used as imaging devices on the sea.

Surveillance equipment had naturally been necessary as a prison. A large number of surveillance Den Den Mushi had been installed inside of Impel Down, ensuring that they wouldn’t have missed any disturbance.

That surveillance Den Den Mushi had seemed to have discovered Drake, and it had been about to turn its gaze over.

"Mana Zone: Dragon’s Nest!"

The majesty of a dragon had all landed on the Den Den Mushi, only conveying one meaning, and that had been to not be ungrateful!

Compared to machines, the surveillance Den Den Mushi, as a living thing, had had its own consciousness, and even if its intelligence hadn’t been high, it had still had the most basic survival instinct.

So it had turned its head to look in another direction with understanding, leaving Drake a quite obvious blind spot in its surveillance.

Drake had nodded with satisfaction, and he had then passed through this corridor unhurriedly, arriving at the central area.

Drake had sensed the high temperatures here after entering Impel Down, and the lava and blood pools before him had only confirmed his guess.

As expected, this had been the Underground Level 4: Blazing Hell of Impel Down, which was to say that Drake had already been very close to his target.

This had also been where Warden Magellan’s office had been located, but he should have been battling diarrhea in the restroom right now, so he didn’t have to care about him for the time being.

There had been two passageways from the Blazing Hell to the next level, the Freezing Hell, and one had been an elevator for the employees, which could have led directly to the sixth level, the Infinite Hell.

But thinking about it, no one in Impel Down would have been willing to let Drake hitch a ride, so he could only take that passageway that hadn’t been guarded by anyone.

It had been good that the terrain of Impel Down hadn’t been complex, and Drake had found the passageway quickly. With the "cooperation" of the surveillance Den Den Mushi, Drake had arrived at the fifth level, the Freezing Hell.

As the name had shown, this had been a cold ice field, and the temperatures had been so low that even Den Den Mushi couldn’t have survived here. But this had also been why this had been an area that hadn’t been monitored.

Drake could have even seen that a lot of the prison cells that had been built around had only had frozen stiff corpses, and it had indeed been worthy of the title of hell here.

Before he had found the entrance to the sixth level, Drake had first discovered a group of people who had been wearing strange clothes battling the beastly army wolves that had been unique to this place.

Even though they had been a group of men, they had been wearing women’s vests and tights, and some people had even been wearing skirts and fishnet stockings. If Drake hadn’t guessed wrong, those people should have been the subordinates of the queen of the okamas, Ivankov.
