The group who were approaching them were Ivankov and his underlings, when they reached level 4 and saw the littered bodies they were shocked. Ivankov then went towards seth's group "So boy were you the one who did this?" seth just nodded.
Ivankov asked again "If I were you, you should escape immediately while magellan is still not here" when seth's crew heard Ivankov they laugh, Ivan was mad hearing them laugh at his friendly advice "What are you laughing at?! you think you can win against magellan?! even I would have a hard time facing that guy." Then bentham said to Ivan "Emporio chan~ look at there" he pointed at the headless magellan.
When Ivan followed Bentham's figure he didn't understand what he was pointing at so he walked closer to see what it is, when he saw magellan's headless body he was stupefied he didn't react for a couple of minutes then looked at seth with a trembling voice he ask "Did you do this?" Seth smiled hearing Ivan's voice.
"If it's not me then who do you think can kill that guy?" Ivan hearing seth's confirmation plopped down he was murmuring "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" Seth was amused seeing Ivan' reaction.
He then asked "Why did you leave your base Ivan?" Ivan then returned back to his senses and shouted at seth "It was your fault! if you didn't barged into our base we wouldn't even leave! but now our base was exposed so we have no choice but to leave!"
Seth apologized hearing that it was his mistake "I'm sorry Ivan but I think you should really leave because there's a war coming" Ivan nodded "I know! Ace will be executed and a war between whitebeard pirates and the marines will begin in a couple of days" Seth then asked "You're a part of the Revolution Army right?" Ivan nodded curious as to why seth asked.
He then continued "Okay let me tell you this, Dragon has a son his name his Monkey D. Luffy-" Seth was about to continue but Ivan interrupted him "What?! how did you know that dragon has a son? even I don't know that! Stop lying brat!" Seth sighed "It's up to you if you don't believe but let me continue, Monkey D. Luffy dragon's son has a brother and that brother is Ace."
Ivan was shocked hearing this "Whaaaaaat?! so are you saying that dragon's son is about to be executed by the marines that is if you're telling the truth" Ivan was now looking at seth intently trying to find out if he is lying or not. seth just smiled at Ivan's behavior he then said "Like I said It's up to you if you believe me or not. but let me ask you why would the marines publicize ace's execution?"
Ivan then said "To start a war with Whitebeard and try to kill him." seth nodded hearing this "That is what the marines want's you to think! well I already told you everything I wanted! Ciao! Hope you don't regret not listening to me" Seth and his crew then proceeded walking at the stairs leading to level 3.
When Ivan saw seth leaving he shouted "Wait! If what you said is true then this really is a big war, then are you going to the war after here?" seth nodded "Mokey D. Luffy is currently at my ship waiting for me, I'll bring him to Marineford so he could save his brother, but let me tell you this, I won't help him even if he die's! so if I were you, you should follow me so you could baby sit Dragon's son he is weak and would die easily without proper protection."
He then looked at Ivan "So wh at's your decision? You still don't want to believe me?" Ivan gritted his teeth then said "Okay! I will follow you and baby sit Dragon's son, Even if I'm not sure, it's better to be sure than to regret it later!" Ivan then looked at his underlings who wore weird clothes saying "Those who want's to join me in the war follow me! and those who doesn't follow Morley and go to kamabakka Kingdom!"
Seth smiled seeing Ivan took the bait (Hahahaha he really thinks ace is Dragon's son, I'm doing this for you fcking love cook! So if you ever wanted to challenge me next time be sure to be strong enough) seth then looked at his crew then at Ivan "Let's go, We can steal a warship. and tell your underlings who won't follow us to the war to open the gate for us." Ivan nodded then gave his orders to his followers.
When they were about to ascend they heard laughter's coming from the stairs that was descending towards them "Zehahahaha Why are there no prison guards blocking us?" then another voice spoke "I don't know captain maybe they are scared weehahaha"
Seth's group stopped then waited for the newcomers to come down, after waiting for a couple of minutes they can see 5 people approaching them. when the newcomers saw them they were surprised then asked "Are you the prison guards here? zehahaha"
Seth smiled seeing the guy in front of him "Well well well, If it isn't blackbeard so you coming here to get some helpers?" Blackbeard looked at seth curiously "Who are you?! Wait!" He then thought for a moment then laughed "Zehahahah you're "Blood Scythe Seth" well aren't I'm lucky, time to take that devil fruit of yours!"
When Seth's group heard Blackbeard they immediately prepared to attack then seth waved his hands at them "So Blackbeard I heard you got the darkness darkness fruit, We'll see whose devil fruit would be taken after this battle so be ready!" he then said to his crew "Go kill those 4 idiots behind him" They nodded hearing their captain's order then surrounded blackbeard's crew.
Ivan and his follower's where watching at the side and Ivan asked Seth "need any help?" Seth shook his head saying "Just stay put and watch the show"
