However, he didn't care and walked past Blackbeard, sitting directly next to Doflamingo.

Upon seeing this, Doflamingo revealed a wicked smile and then said:

"It seems you're quite interested in me, actually taking the initiative to sit next to me. I never would have dared to dream of that before."

Upon hearing this, the Empress's face immediately turned cold, and she then looked at Doflamingo with a cold and aloof expression, saying:

"Don't mess with me, Heavenly Demon! I'm in a really bad mood right now!"

No sooner had the Empress finished speaking than Blackbeard caught up, baring his large black teeth and saying:

"A very good ability. If we can use it, it will definitely be a great fighting force."

"How about it, Boya Hancock? Join us and we'll conquer the world."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding marines all showed expressions of shock.

To their astonishment, Blackbeard dared to declare his intention to conquer the world right in front of them; it was utterly outrageous.

However, before they could make a move, the Empress stood up and her long, beautiful legs instantly attacked Blackbeard.

The powerful Conqueror's Haki instantly spread outwards.

The combination of Conqueror's Haki and the Love-Love Fruit petrified two-thirds of Blackbeard's entire body.

If it weren't for the speed of the Dark-Dark Fruit, the entire army might have been wiped out. Under the powerful influence of Conqueror's Haki, the entire Marine Headquarters even began to tremble.

Such powerful Conqueror's Haki shocked the surrounding marines so much that they rolled their eyes and fainted.

The lieutenant generals immediately drew their guns and pointed them at Hancock, but they were also affected by Conqueror's Haki and could not stand steadily, so they could only retreat.

Upon seeing this, Doflamingo's eyes lit up with excitement, and he then spread his arms wide, laughing loudly as he said:

"The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. Unfortunately, people always have an excessive pursuit of beautiful things. Beauty is truly an absolute weapon of destruction."

……

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Sengoku, holding the Den Den Mushi, his eyes filled with terror, gritted his teeth and said:

"What did you say? Warden Magellan was killed? How is that possible?"

Sengoku exclaimed in disbelief, and the messenger on the other side hurriedly replied:

"It's the Straw Hat Pirates! They're almost at level six! Impel Down is requesting backup!"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku dropped the Den Den Mushi from his hand, his eyes vacant and lifeless.

Meanwhile, Garp, who had been idly eating senbei, also stopped. Although he knew that Lero was strong, defeating Magellan was not something that could be done simply by being strong.

Magellan's toxicity is so potent that even Armament Haki cannot defend against it.

It seems they really have become stronger. At this moment, Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed another number.

Then, green hairs sprouted straight from the black Den Den Mushi.

Soon a lazy voice came from the other side:

"Oh, Marshal, I'm on my way to Impel Down. Is there anything else you need?"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku's eyes turned cold, and he immediately spoke:

"Don't go to Impel Down yet. Bring Fire Fist Ace out of Impel Down right now. I've decided to expedite his sentence."

Upon hearing this, even Green Bull's eyes showed a solemn expression, and he then spoke:

"This is not good. Changing the execution time time again and again, even if the World Government agrees, the people now cannot agree to it."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku slammed the Den Den Mushi onto the table.

"Stop talking nonsense, just do as I say."

With that, Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi and looked at Garp with a melancholy expression.

"Did we really do something wrong?"

……

An underwater prison, six levels underground.

Listening to the sounds coming from above, Ace's eyes showed a hint of worry; the scene he feared most had appeared.

Jinbe, who was also listening to the sounds of battle above, showed a determined look in his eyes and said to Ace:

"Don't worry. Since they were able to get to this place, it proves they have enough strength to survive. I will do my best to rescue you."

No sooner had he said that than Crocodile burst out laughing.

"These guys are pretty capable. Are they really going to repeat the fate of the Golden Lion? It's something to look forward to."

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Ace's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"It's not worth doing this for someone like me. Isn't it normal for pirates to be captured and sentenced to death?"

Upon hearing this, Crocodile's expression immediately fell silent, and he then spoke:

“In this place, life is worse than death, and being sentenced to death is the rarest thing. This is like giving you a quick death.”

At this point, Crocodile burst into laughter.

"Well, you're Whitebeard's son, so accept your fate. I want to see just how brilliant the world will be after Whitebeard."

Crocodile then burst into laughter again.

Amidst Crocodile's demonic laughter, Ace gradually lowered his head and wept bitterly.

However, at that moment, several vines suddenly emerged from under Ace.

The vines wrapped directly around Ace, and some smaller vines even burrowed into the keyhole of the sea stone.

He directly unlocked the seastone chains, and the next second, Ace was pulled underground by the vines and disappeared from the spot.

Upon seeing this, Jinbe's eyes showed a hint of terror, and he struggled to look in Ace's direction, shouting loudly:

"Green Bull, I know it's you. There are still two days until the execution. What do you plan to do to Mr. Ace?"

However, Jinbe's only response was the echo in the air; Ace simply vanished from everyone's sight.

……

The underwater prison, five levels underground.

Seeing the horde of prison guards surging towards him, Lei Luo paid them no heed and wiped them all out with a single burst of Conqueror's Haki.

However, at this moment, a Vajra fully clad in armor threw a punch straight at Lei Luo.

However, Lei Luo easily knocked him to the ground.

Seeing Lei Luo battling various wild beasts ahead, the Straw Hat crew couldn't help but show surprise.

Is this guy in front of me really that ridiculously strong?

Soon, Lei Luo had dealt with all the guardian beasts and saw a square gate.

Lei Luo pushed the gate forcefully, and a switch opened, revealing the elevator shaft on the sixth basement level directly in front of them.

With a wave of his hand, Lei Luo and the entire Straw Hat crew jumped in and quickly slid down to the sixth basement level.

Upon arriving at the sixth underground level, the group of epic-level pirates around them all looked at these figures with wary eyes and excited expressions.

"Hey, let us out! We've heard about your exploits, and we want to follow you to overthrow the World Government and kill Whitebeard!"

Hearing this, Lei Luo ignored it and walked straight ahead. However, at this moment, a man wearing an officer's hat caught Lei Luo's attention.

Rello stopped in his tracks, and at that moment, Shiryu of the Rain also looked at Rello.

"A bunch of rabble, making a lot of noise, but no one pays any attention to you. The strong don't talk much."

However, no sooner had Shiryu of the Rain finished speaking than Rairou drew his Zanpakuto, and flames shot into the sky around him.

In an instant, it slashed towards Shiryu of the Rain.

Sensing this powerful aura, Shiryu of the Rain instinctively reached for his sword, only to find that it had already been confiscated.

But even with a knife in his hand, he couldn't possibly withstand that attack.

As Lei Luo unleashed his Soul-Slaying Blade, the surrounding fences were cleaved open, and the entire prison vanished.

Shiryu of the Rain was so shocked by the powerful sword intent that he immediately knelt on the ground.

The cigar in his mouth fell to the ground. After a long pause, he finally spoke:

"That's quite a show of force. Now, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Luo glanced directly at the other criminals.

"Release them. Those who are willing to follow, keep them by your side; those who are unwilling to follow, execute them on the spot."

With that, Lei Luo immediately took off his famous sword, Shusui, and tossed it to Shiryu of the Rain.

Shiryu of the Rain took the Shusui and looked at it, his eyes showing shock. This was the most famous sword in the world, the legendary sword of the dragon-slaying warrior Ryuma.

Upon seeing this, Shiryu of the Rain drew his sword and instantly unleashed a flurry of attacks in all directions.

The icy aura within the blade instantly seemed to come alive, cleaving through all the cages.

The freed criminals all raised their arms and shouted, but Lei Luo did not explain the details to them.

They then walked forward, but when the Straw Hat crew arrived at the sixth underground level, the place where Ace was imprisoned, they were dumbfounded.

Because apart from some epic-level pirates like Crocodile and Jinbe, there's no sign of Portgas D. Ace.

Rairou and Jinbe locked eyes. Jinbe clenched his fists and then spoke:

"Take me with you."

With just one sentence, Lei Luo understood that they were too late again.

Sengoku, that guy, somehow managed to move Ace out of the area.

Moreover, the execution would most likely begin earlier than planned. Without hesitation, Lei Luo cut the shackles with a single stroke.

He then used Ryuo Haki to open Jinbe's chains from a distance. Jinbe felt a sudden release and his eyes showed a look of horror.
