I, Sakazuki, Will Not Take a Dog Easily

"As expected...has the golden lion escaped?" Sora's tone was somewhat regretful. Now it will be even more difficult to catch this legendary pirate, and I don't know how much effort and financial resources the navy will spend. physical resources.

"You immediately form an investigation team and go to the place where the incident happened - Imperton, the deep sea prison, to find out how he escaped!"

"Decree!"

"Ah la la, received"

"Hmmm, hey"

The largest prison in the world, Impel down. This large deep-sea prison—Propulsion City, is located in the windless belt in the first half of the great route, forming a triangle with Marine Vandor, where the Navy headquarters is located, and ENIES LOBBY.

There is a huge vortex current between the three, and it depends on the opening and closing of the huge gate known as the "Gate of Justice" to allow the current to flow in to enter smoothly. As a detention center for serious criminals who endanger society, the security measures here are extremely strict.

There are more than ten warships stationed on the periphery of the prison all year round, guarding the outer wall of the fortress. There is only a large suspension bridge between the inner castle and the outer wall. Once the suspension bridge is closed and retracted, this deep-sea prison is truly a dead city. There are a large number of large sea kings swimming on the seabed outside the prison.

According to the strength of criminals and the hierarchical management of crimes. The corresponding jailers, jailor beasts and even ferocious beasts that are not known to ordinary people are installed layer by layer.

In addition to the guards of the jailers on each floor, there are also multi-directional videophone bug monitoring. Every warden and deputy director who sits in the prison has the combat power of a general.

In the eyes of the world, this giant prison is as daunting as the hell recorded in Ukiyo-e. A fleet of top warships and several light patrol and reconnaissance ships arrived at this hell on earth at this moment.

Impelton, who had already heard the news of the arrival of the fleet, arranged for the responsible personnel to stand quietly in front of the gate of the outer wall and wait.

With the laying of the sampan completed, three lieutenant generals of similar height stepped down quickly with expressionless faces.

The deputy director, Magellan, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted the three members of the serious crime team dispatched by the headquarters: "I am very sorry, this time Impelton's dereliction of duty cannot be excused. All the staff of the Deep Sea Prison will do their best to cooperate with the investigation."

As the deputy director of the prison, Magellan put his posture very low. The escape of the golden lion made the conscientious Magellan feel deeply guilty.

The leading lieutenant general of the headquarters was wearing a navy cap, and the shadow under the brim covered most of his face. Sakaski's tone was indifferent: "The cause of this incident and the accountability are all matters later, Deputy Director Magellan, please answer me now, where is your warden? In the case of such a big accident , in the face of the investigation team of the headquarters, he intends to hide like this? Doesn't he even plan to meet us?"

According to the regulations, when a major accident occurs or an important prisoner is interrogated, the person in charge of the prison must accompany him as soon as possible.

But after the Flying Pirate Golden Lion Shiji escaped from prison, Impelton's top officer actually sent only one deputy to dismiss the investigation?

It’s no wonder that Sakaski was directly held accountable for such a bad attitude, and even Kuzan and Polusalino beside him were quite upset. Because of Pelton's accident, you let the criminals that the navy worked so hard to catch escape. In this case, the highest officer still insists on his identity and avoids seeing him!! Is it true that the navy headquarters is shameless?

"You misunderstood, the warden is on the phone with the five old stars at the moment," Magellan replied in an unassuming manner, "so I can only arrange to accompany you."

"Wuluoxing?" Polusalino repeated softly. As the highest official of the world government, Wulaoxing naturally has a higher priority than them.

But this also means that the high-level attention to this incident is high, and the warden who was directly called by Wulaoxing must not hear anything good.

Sakaski took a step forward: "In this case, please ask Deputy Director Magellan to take us directly to the prison of the golden lion."

Without the cumbersome politeness of the world government bureaucrats, the other party's words embody simplicity and efficiency. Magellan doesn't take it for granted, and being able to do things in a down-to-earth way is always more pleasing than relying on a quick mouth.

"Yes, please follow me"

Level6 Infernal Hell, the criminals imprisoned are monster-level characters who are too vicious to be erased from history. The prisoners on this level are all very powerful guys, and they will be sentenced to death or life imprisonment. Cruel incidents, so this sixth floor is almost rarely known to outsiders.

A group of people passed by the dense videophone bugs along the way, and the guards were heavily guarded every five steps. Taking the direct elevator, as the number of floors slowly descended, Kuzan began to ask Magellan about the specific situation: "So, how did the Golden Lion Shiji escape, based on the surveillance and patrols I just saw Density, it's hard to believe that you couldn't detect Golden Lion Shiji's escape behavior in the first place."

"So, is there an inner ghost to assist? This is really scary!" Polusalino's tone was weird, but the guess he said was extremely cruel.

46. ​​Detective Sakarski begins to reason

Imperton Level 6—The Infernal Hell, for these special prisoners are divided into "single rooms" and "passenger rooms" according to their threat level. As one of the three legendary pirates, Shiji the Golden Lion, Impelton naturally arranged a separate cell for him "intimately".

The fence made of high-quality steel and fine iron seemed to be torn from the inside to the outside by some beast, revealing a big hideous hole. The steel on the outside was bent into an arc, and the iron bars near the entrance of the cave were broken one after another, twisting and crisscrossing towards the elevator.

Sakaski and the others walked out of the elevator. As far as they could see, the big hole in stark contrast to the surrounding prison cells was like a giant beast showing its fangs to everyone, demonstrating silently. In the empty cell, only a large pool of half-frozen blood and a pair of stumped legs were left below the knees.

"Wan... I'm so sorry, Deputy Director! I couldn't stop Skee." The voice came from a guard with a distinctive appearance. He wore a headdress in the style of an Egyptian pharaoh and his stomach swelled like a ghost.

"Who is this?" Polusalino pointed at the weird figure in the caretaker's attire.

Sakaski recognized this man who looked like a ghost at a glance—Hannibal. Facing the escape group composed of Supernova and the original Shichibukai, he knew that he was invincible but still firmly guarded the upper channel node.

Magellan put his palms together, pointed to Hannibal and introduced to the three lieutenant generals: "He is Hannibal, the current warden of Imperton Prison, and he is also the first to witness the escape process of the golden lion Shiki. .”

"Oh?"

"Did you see how he escaped?"

Deputy Director Magellan's explanation made the three lieutenant generals all turn their eyes to this side.

"...No...I didn't see what happened at the beginning." Hannibal waved his hands in a panic.

Sakalski walked to the outside of the broken prison and carefully looked at the curved iron bars. He didn't look back: "From how you found out that Skee escaped from prison, Hannibal, I want you to recall carefully, what happened at that time everything!"

Hannibal lightly touched the devil-like horns on his forehead: "Today is the feeding day stipulated in the prison. According to the usual practice, I will come down to check the cold food records for prisoners on the sixth floor."

Kuzan turned his head to look at Magellan, who nodded slightly to show that Hannibal was not lying.

"But when the elevator just reached the sixth floor, I heard a loud noise inside, accompanied by the harsh noise of steel breaking."

"That is to say, the Golden Lion Shiji had already broken free from the shackles of the Hailou stone and destroyed the cell?" Sakaski turned his attention to the stump in the pool of blood.

Hannibal nodded constantly: "Yes, I immediately rushed into the hell to find out what happened? Then I found that the cell where the golden lion Shiji was held had a big hole from the inside to the outside! And Shiji was nowhere to be found. . .”

"Wait~ Magellan said that you were the first to witness the escape of the golden lion." Polusalino keenly grasped the loopholes in the other party's words. If Skeep hadn't been discovered, how could Magellan claim that Hannibal saw it with his own eyes? In the process of the Golden Lion's jailbreak?

"And then... I saw him..."

"?"

"Where?"

Hannibal tilted his head back, pointing at a high beam with trembling fingers, "In that place, Shiki sat there with blood dripping from his legs, hahaha laughed and asked me about his famous sword [Sakura Ten ] and [Deadwood] where..."

Before Hannibal could finish his sentence, the person with the ability to win the fruit had already appeared on the beam he was pointing at.

"Oh~ it's true! Sakalski, I saw some drops of blood on the beam." Polusalino squatted on the beam, confirming to Sakalsky who entered the prison of Golden Lion Shiki information.

A pair of broken legs still wearing shackles lay there quietly. The legs were broken from the knees. The wound was not as smooth as a mirror, but was full of fine knife marks as if it had been cut by a knife countless times.

Shiji is a person with abilities, which is well known. Hailou Stone is a natural restraint for people with abilities, and it is harder than diamonds. This makes it an excellent material for shackles, and no one with any ability can still perform vigorous and vigorous exercises under the suppression of Hailoushi. Therefore, after putting Shi Ji on the shackles made of sea stones in the submarine prison, he was put here with great confidence. Sakaski couldn't figure it out, how could he exert force and cut off his own feet under the influence of Hailoushi?

Kuzan also slowly walked into the scene of the crime. He squatted down and picked up a Hailou stone on a broken foot. He felt weak all over, and even the simple movement of raising his hand became difficult. He looked at Sakaski and said in a deep voice: "The Hailou stone shackles have not been replaced, that is to say, under the influence of multiple negative conditions such as being weak all over the body and completely unable to lift his spirits, Shiji amputated his legs with unknown methods. Escape from Imperton?"

"It's not an unknown technique, Kuzan, Polusalino, Magellan, look." Sakalski seemed to have discovered something, he inserted his finger into the bloody wound of a broken leg, groped carefully, and then took out one thing.

47. Iron-blooded man is a real man

"This is... bone fragments?" Kuzan narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the object that Sakarski held between his fingers.

"I don't think this is a part of Shi Ke's body, right?" Magellan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and he gestured with his thick fingers for the shape of the fragment.
