Chapter 534: SFDI - 534
Drake had been feeling somewhat of a headache, and in his memories, Ace had always been locked up in Impel Down, only having been transferred to the marine headquarters on the morning of the execution date.
Drake had come to Impel Down so many days in advance, so why wasn’t Ace here anymore?!! Just as Drake had been troubled, a deep and thick voice had rung out.
"This young man, I heard you say that you’ve come to find Ace. Are you his friend?"
Drake had looked over, and the one who had been speaking had been a fish-man who had been locked in the prison cell next door.
He had been a whale shark fish-man, and he had had a pair of quite distinctive curled eyebrows and sideburns, and he had had a thick black short beard on his chin, and there had been a lightning-shaped scar on the corner of his left eye.
He had been wearing a bathrobe on his fat body, and the front of his clothes had been open, revealing the sun pattern on his chest.
It was just that he had been locked to the walls of the prison cell with both of his hands right now, and he had looked truly somewhat disheveled.
This had been a big shot, the current captain of the Sun Pirates, and he had also been one of the Shichibukai like Crocodile.
Drake had looked at him, saying, "Sea Knight Jinbe! Can I trouble you to tell me where Ace has gone? I’ve come specifically to save him after accepting his brother’s request."
Jinbe had sighed, saying, "You’ve come late, and Ace was transferred to another place a long time ago. I heard that it was because Vegapunk needed a Logia ability user, so Ace was sent to his research base secretly."
Drake had reached out his hand, rubbing his temples, and it had been truly hard to not have a headache after running into this kind of accident. But what Drake hadn’t known had been that there had also been his own reasons within this.
The influence of Kuma having broken free of the World Government’s control had been greater than Drake had imagined.
Although the PX series of the Pacifista project had been completed, what had been most important had actually been the Seraphim project that had been next.
And the most important part of the experiment to complete the Seraphim had been recorded on Kuma’s body. To complete the research, Vegapunk had needed even more samples.
Apart from Kizaru, the marine admiral who had always been cooperating with Vegapunk’s experiments, the other two of the marine’s three admirals, who had also been Logia ability users, had also had their blood drawn.
And out of the idea of making the best use of everything, the World Government had sent Ace to Vegapunk’s hands directly, having him research him.
No matter how you looked at it, this matter hadn’t conformed to common sense very much. You had to know that Vegapunk’s research base, Egghead Island, had been in the depths of the New World, and sending Ace there would have obviously increased quite a bit of risk.
It had been just like how the Marineford War had been destined to erupt, making Drake have run to Impel Down for nothing.
The location of Egghead Island had also been a secret within the World Government, and it had been completely impossible to save Ace before the Marineford War had broken out.
"As expected, things won’t be that simple, huh!"
Drake had sighed from the bottom of his heart, and his trip to Impel Down this time had been smooth to the extreme, and he had arrived at the Infinite Hell without alarming anyone.
But an unexpected situation had appeared at the most crucial link, and fate had indeed not been that easy to break.
But this had made Drake’s fighting spirit even stronger, and the more it had been like this, the more Drake had had to do it, because he had been working hard until now to overcome his destined fate.
After having strengthened his belief, Drake had looked at Jinbe, saying, "It looks like the war is unavoidable now. You should have been locked up in Impel Down to prevent the war, so are you going to continue staying here?"
Jinbe had opened his mouth, saying, "The Whitebeard Old Man’s kindness to Fish-Man Island wouldn’t be too much to repay even if I used my life. If possible, please be sure to take me out of here with you."
Drake had nodded, saying, "I understand, then let’s go together!"
While saying this, Drake had reached out his hand, latching onto the prison cell’s lock, and the location where his five fingers had contacted had faintly turned red, and the prison door had then been opened with a snap.
The locks of the pirate world had been strange, and because there had been the special material of seastone, which had been both sturdy and had restrained ability users, the quality of the shackles had been quite good.
But because of the difficulty of processing this material of seastone, even the craftsmen of Wano Country, who had been the best at this, hadn’t been able to create parts that had been too delicate.
So the inside of the locks had all been quite fragile, and this had also been the principle behind Rayleigh and Luffy having displayed taking off the shackles with their bare hands.
And this naturally hadn’t been anything difficult for Drake, and he had only needed to control the flames of destruction to paralyze the door lock.
Walking into the prison cell, Drake had used the same method to destroy the handcuffs that had been locking Jinbe, allowing him to regain his freedom.
Just as the two had been walking out of the prison cell, the other prisoners hadn’t been able to sit still anymore.
"Hey! Brat, let me out too! I’ve heard that you’re going to start a war with the marines, and I happen to have a score to settle with them too!"
"Me too! I have treasure hidden outside, and I’ll send the treasure to you as long as you let me out!"
Drake had furrowed his brow, looking at this group of guys coldly.
Although what the marines had done hadn’t been human things, there had been one thing that they definitely hadn’t done wrong, and that had been locking these guys up in Impel Down.
Among the guys in Impel Down, there had been very few people like Ivankov who had been wronged, and most of the prisoners here had been trash who should have rotted in Impel Down forever.
So Drake hadn’t had any thought of releasing these guys at all.
Perhaps they had noticed Drake’s thoughts, and those prisoners had begun to shout right away.
But this time, they had been shouting for the guards of Impel Down instead, and it had been obvious that they hadn’t been planning to let Drake leave easily if Drake hadn’t released them.
The depths of the Infinite Hell had been quiet all along, and the real big shots, who hadn’t been as classy as these small fries outside, had been locked there.
"So noisy!"
Drake’s eyes had widened slightly, and a circle of air currents had spread to the entire Infinite Hell.
The prisoners, who had been shouting at the top of their lungs just now, had quieted down right away, and there had been a few gazes that had lit up in the darkness.
"Interesting, this shouldn’t be Conqueror’s Haki!"
"It looks like the sea has become interesting while I’ve been locked up!"
Drake had looked deeply at the darkness where beasts had been lurking, and he had then turned around, leaving.
What had been in there had all been monsters among monsters, and even if Drake hadn’t released them, they might have been able to escape on their own.
But whether they could have obtained freedom hadn’t been Drake’s business, and it had already been merciful of Drake to not have killed off these obstructive guys directly.
The shouting of these people just now had alarmed the guards of Impel Down in the end, and it wouldn’t have been possible to leave calmly next.
Drake and Jinbe had acted quickly, charging into the passageway before it had been closed. And the various traps in the passageway had been flattened by Drake directly, and they had arrived at the fifth level directly.
Ivankov and his subordinates had been waiting here long ago, and after seeing Drake and the two of them appear, he had said right away, "The guards of Impel Down have already been alarmed, so what do we do now? It’ll probably be very hard to fight our way out directly!"
Drake had given a thumbs up, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ve already planned it out long ago. Now please lead the way, and we’ll go to the location of the elevator!"
Although Ivankov hadn’t understood Drake’s intention, he hadn’t said anything else after having decided to entrust the hope of freedom to Drake, leading the way towards the location of the elevator on the fourth level directly.
The group had seen the entrance to the elevator soon, and Drake had summoned Takeshi, blasting the fences around the elevator to pieces directly.
Drake had then jumped into the elevator shaft directly, flying up with his flame wings spread.
Drake had seen the giant elevator that had been stopped above soon, and he had then come to above the elevator from the gaps, cutting the thick chains that had been pulling the elevator with one slash.
At the same time that the elevator had been falling, Drake had summoned Bird, and Bird had grabbed the top of the elevator directly with its claws, and it had then been slowly falling down.
Drake had waved at everyone outside of the elevator, saying, "Everyone come up quickly, and I’ll take everyone to charge out together."
Everyone had revealed surprised expressions, and no one had thought that Drake would have come up with such a method.
After everyone had rushed into the elevator, Bird had let out a cry, and he had then flapped his wings with all his might, taking the elevator to fly upwards directly.
Drake had been standing on Bird’s back, getting into a horse stance, blasting his fist towards the ceiling that had been getting closer and closer above him.
"Fire Dragon King’s Crushing Fist!"
The guards on the outside had opened their mouths wide, watching in shock as a giant pillar of fire had broken through a large patch of the architecture, flying into the sky, and a giant bird had then grabbed the elevator, flying up.
Dodging some of the cannonballs that had been shooting over chaotically, the giant bird had flown into the sky directly, completely losing its traces.
On Bird’s back, Drake hadn’t been happy about leaving Impel Down at all, and he had taken out a Den Den Mushi, dialing Luffy’s Den Den Mushi’s number.
