Luffy shook his head, looking completely bewildered: "Do Grandpa and Ron also have this kind of... Haki?"
“Of course. Your grandfather is one of the top Haki masters on this sea. As for Ron… as far as I know, that guy learned Armament Haki when he was 11 years old.”
Rayleigh laughed.
The Straw Hat crew and Enel were unaware of the meaning behind this.
Kidd and Killer, who were not far away, broke out in a cold sweat.
"At 11 years old...he learned domineering power...terrifying...!"
"That traveler Ron is indeed a true monster!"
"Armament Haki, Observation Haki..."
Enel muttered to himself, unusually interested.
"Hmm... It's hard to explain the matter of Haki in a short time. Anyway, come with me first. Someone has already arrived, and you should be happy to see him," Rayleigh said to Luffy with a smile.
"There is someone..."
Luffy tilted his head, looking somewhat puzzled.
……
After the Straw Hat crew followed Rayleigh to Shakky's Bamboo Bar, Luffy met someone he never expected in the bar.
"Long time no see, Luffy."
A handsome young man wearing a hat and a black trench coat looked at Luffy in front of him and smiled, "You've grown up."
Luffy stared at the young man before him, hearing his familiar voice, his eyes widening in disbelief: "You are... could it be...?"
The young man reached up and took off his hat, revealing blond hair and a confident, smiling face.
"Don't you remember me, Luffy?"
…………
After Luffy saw Sabo, the two brothers were overjoyed at their long-awaited reunion.
He told Sabo about Ace.
“I already know about this, and Ron knows about it too.”
Sabo, who sat down at the counter, said something that surprised Luffy and the others: "He's the one who brought me here."
"Ron..."
Luffy was a little confused.
"What exactly is that guy planning to do?"
Zoro frowned.
"What are you doing... hahaha."
Rayleigh took a sip of his drink, grinned at the group of people who were looking at him, and said, "What he wants to do is a truly big event, the kind that will shock the whole world."
"!!"
The entire Straw Hat crew looked shocked.
"Shocking the world..."
Chopper swallowed hard.
"What exactly is he planning to do?"
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Nami's forehead.
"Could it be something even more serious than killing a Celestial Dragon...?"
Usopp shuddered, too afraid to think any further.
202, The Grim Reaper Descends into Infinite Hell
“Rayle, there’s no need to tell them these things.”
Shakky, behind the counter, exhaled a smoke ring and looked at Luffy and his crew, saying, "Anyway, Ron will handle this. You don't need to worry about it. Of course, with your current strength, there's not much you can do anyway."
"But that's Ace! How can I..."
Luffy couldn't help but say.
"Luffy."
Sabo interrupted him.
He looked at Luffy seriously and said, "Ace is your brother, but not the brother of your crew. You can't drag them into this danger as well."
“I understand your desire to save Ace, and so do I. When that day comes, I will take you to Marineford, so calm down and don’t rush.”
As Luffy looked at Sabo and listened to his words, his anxious heart gradually calmed down.
"I understand."
……
time flies.
Six days passed in the blink of an eye, and there were still 3 days until the public execution of 'Fire Fist' Ace.
The vice admirals and rear admirals of the navy boarded warships and headed to the various locations where the Seven Warlords of the Sea were located.
The current Seven Warlords of the Sea are: Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea.
Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach.
Trafalgar Law, the Surgeon of Death.
Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress.
Moonlight Moria.
The Tyrant, Bartholomew Bear.
Hawkeye, Dracule Mihawk.
Aside from Jinbe, who refused to be recruited by the Navy and taken to Impel Down, the other six Shichibukai all agreed to participate in the war and followed the warships toward Marineford.
Warships came and went around Marineford, and troops were frequently moved around. Impel Down was also under tight defense.
The oppressive feeling of impending doom grew stronger as the day of the public execution approached.
This day.
Impel Down, the underwater prison.
The sixth level of infinite hell.
Outside a prison cell, space suddenly began to distort, forming a vortex portal.
A tall, slender figure dressed in black with a blood-red knife at his waist appeared out of thin air.
He was a young man who was nearly 2.1 meters tall, with long black hair cascading down his back, and a handsome and flawless face.
His eyes gleamed with an eerie, deep blue light, and his expression remained calm and composed.
"Is this the Infinite Hell of Impel Down's sixth level...?"
The prison cell was locked with sea stone. A fierce-looking criminal grabbed the iron door in front of him and shouted at the young man, "Hey! Kid, who are you? What are you doing here?"
His shouts instantly alerted the other prisoners in this infinite hell, including Ace and Jinbe, who had just been brought there.
One by one, menacing figures opened their eyes in the darkness.
"What happened?"
This is the sixth level of Impel Down, an infinite hell. The criminals imprisoned here are either monster pirates who were so vicious as to be erased from history, or they have committed heinous crimes that have been covered up by the Navy and even deliberately concealed in the newspapers. The prisoners on this level are all near-legendary criminals, and their fate is either the death penalty or life imprisonment.
But without a doubt, those who are imprisoned here, whether good or bad, are not weak.
"Boy! Answer me!"
The criminal shouted at the young man outside the cage.
Ron glanced at him.
In an instant.
An immense and astonishing force crushed down on the criminal!
Before his horrified gaze, he was forced to the ground, pressed firmly against the steel floor.
"Ahhh!"
He could feel his bones being crushed under that pressure, his blood vessels bursting inch by inch, and blood flowing from his seven orifices. It was as if he was being crushed to death step by step, and this feeling was crystal clear.
An indescribable fear surged into the heart of this vicious criminal.
"No, no, spare me, please spare me!"
Snapped!
The criminal's body was crushed and flattened like a mosquito being crushed, under that unreasonable and terrifying gravity, his flesh and blood turned to mud.
