Chapter 21 - Chapter 23

Magellan arrived in front of Ginrei in a few seconds and put all his power into a punch, which he aimed at Ginrei's head. He had the strength of a Vice-admiral and on top of that he had his devil fruit. It made for a truly deadly combo.

"You need to increase your speed my boy." Ginrei said and punched the incoming fist that covered his entire view. The punch was too much for Magellan to handle and he was thrown back towards the ocean.

"Oops, can't have you dying on me yet." Ginrei appeared where Magellan was flying and held out his hand and the venom man came to an immediate stop and Ginrei dropped him down on the bridge again and quickly kicked him so he flew and crashed through the doors of the prison.

This exchange happened in about 2 seconds so Bastille couldn't truly follow Ginrei as he played around with Magellan.

"Disappointing." Ginrei said and appeared behind Bastille and and grabbed him by the throat. He lifted him up in the air and watched him struggle.

"hm, i will let you live. I see no reason to kill you." Ginrei chocked him out so he lost consciousness. He dropped Bastille down on the ground and moved into the prison.

Inside the prison just past the doors, Magellan was laying on the ground and groaning in pain after receiving two punches from an emperor level haki user. To say that it hurt was an understatement.

"Just stay there and i won't have to hurt you more." Ginrei walked past him with his hand behind his back.

An hour later and some major damage to the prison walls and floors, Ginrei finally arrived at the level he was looking for. Level 6.

'Now let's see here. Where is that man.' Ginrei walked past a lot of cells until he heard a male voice beside him.

"What is an emperor doing visiting my prison?" Ginrei stopped and looked at the cell he had just walked past. It was incredibly dark inside the cells so it was hard to make up the facial features of the prisoners, but he knew he had found the man he was looking for.

"I am looking for you." Ginrei said and walked up to the cell and looked inside.

"So what do you want?" The man inside asked him.

"I want to extend an invitation for you to join the Gotei 13. I assume you heard about us before you got locked in here?"

"Why would i join you?" The man covered by shadows said while looking into Ginrei's eyes.

"First of all. I know you want to. Secondly, who wants to spend their life in a cage? ha, ha,?" Ginrei could basically read the guys mind. This man was not a complicated person to understand.

"ha, ha, ha, what can you promise if i do decide to join your little band of pirates?" He asked as he voice became serious.

"You will be my right hand man. You can also fight me for the position of captain if you want." Ginrei made his voice spread out throughout this prison level. He wanted every prisoner here to hear him and this man talk.

"ha, ha, ha, fine I'll join your crew. I would die in seconds of the battle beginning so you can keep your position, captain." He laughed while accepting Ginrei's offer.

"Wonderful. Let's leave now." As soon as he said that, the prison bars on this cell was completely cut apart.

"Hey, free me and I'll join your crew as well."

"Ye, ye, like he said. Free me and I'll become your left hand man."

"Forget them, I'm all you need. They're nothing compared to me." Tons of these offers were yelled out by the people on this level. This was exactly the reason he spread his voice. He wanted the Zero division of the Gotei 13 to be filled with the strongest he could find.

He originally was gonna be the 1st division captain, but he changed things when he sent Bradely to the marines. He would summon another person to be the commander of the 1st division and he would lead the strongest, Zero division himself.

"You can all come along. Follow me!" Ginrei started walking and like magic, all the bars on the cells were cut apart. The man walking behind Ginrei watched this swordplay with round eyes.

'I just saw glimpses of him drawing the sword. His overall speed in absolutely inhuman. I have never witnessed anything close to this.' He thought as he walked behind Ginrei.

With an army behind him, he started making his way back up to the surface. A smile appeared on Ginrei's face as he suddenly felt the arrival of the marine hero. He had appeared in front of the prison and he was standing outside waiting for them to walk out of Impel down.

After a while, Ginrei and his army appeared on the first floor of the prison and they all saw the exit gate. Tears of happiness appeared in the eyes of these pirates as they saw the sunlight shine through the broken-down door. A voice rang from outside the door and startled everyone except the two men at the front.

"Shiryu, you were supposed to stay in your cage for a few more years. What are you doing on the outside?" The voice belonged to someone Shiryu remembered vividly.

"I got a ones in a lifetime offer that i just couldn't refuse. You understand, don't you, Garp!" Shiryu said while smoking a cigar that Ginrei had so kindly offered him when they left level 6.

"I do. But I'm afraid i can't let you leave this place. You understand, don't you, Shiryu." Garp said while smiling with an ear to ear smile. Of course, his eyes were was not smiling at all. He watched the both of them with his guard fully up. Ginrei was not someone to take lightly.

"Gentlemen. This has been fun. But i am afraid that we have to leave. I don't have all the time in the world to spend here talking to you. Even though it is very good to finally meet you, Garp." Ginrei said.

"It would do you good to stay inside that prison," Garp said while watching Ginrei very closely.

"Unfortunately, i am in no mood to stay here any longer. This place is pretty depressing." Ginrei disappeared in a speed so fast that Garp didn't register that he had moved until he got punched in the head and sent flying miles into the ocean.

"Gentlemen, it's time to go." 'Ginrei waved his hand and everyone he brought with him out started floating up and they all quickly disappeared above the clouds.

A few seconds later, Garp appeared outside the prison again with a big bruise on the right side of his face. He looked around and noticed everyone was gone.

"Now where the hell did they go?" Garp looked around all confused, and he looked at the marines that was hiding on the warship that Bastille arrived in.

"S-Sir, they all went flying upwards." A marine said in fright. He and the rest had just seen the marine hero get sent flying for miles with one punch, so it was no wonder that they were afraid for their lived right now.

'Flying, huh. So is that why we can't find them? Sengoku will love this little revelation.' Garp laughed out loud and boarded the marine ship with Bastille over his shoulder.

"Set course for headquarters." Nothing seemed to be able to bring this mans mood down. He looked up at the sky in wonder.

'Is he a devil fruit user like Shiki?' Garp started theorizing while the ship started moving.
