[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV
Marinefort, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
While chaos ensued in Impel Down without the world truly knowing what was happening in one of the most fortified places in the world, hours began to pass since the first attack, and they started to realize something was wrong.
"Our prisoner is being kept in a special cell until the execution tomorrow..." An officer reported Ace's situation.
"I understand..." Sengoku spoke calmly, ready to document all reports before the war. "You may go..." He requested as the man left the room.
But just as the door was about to close, it was opened again with other officers running into the room. "What is it now?" Sengoku asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Fleet Admiral, we searched for the Shichibukai Marshal D. Teach as you requested, but we couldn't find him anywhere!" He spoke quickly with urgency.
"He's not at Marineford?" Sengoku asked, frowning.
"Fleet Admiral... there's a warship missing from our ports!" The man reported.
"What?! Are you saying that Shichibukai fled with one of our ships?!" Sengoku, already furious, now shattered the table beneath him.
"Yes! We don't know how they did it, but it's very likely that the ship we can't locate is in the Shichibukai's possession!" The officer stated.
"What is he doing, deserting hours before the war?" Sengoku couldn't understand the logic behind this on the eve of battle.
"I'll check this with the monitoring room..." Sengoku said, picking up the Den Den Mushi, turning it back on after having it off during the last meeting he had with the admirals and vice-admirals before completing the report with the officers who had just appeared.
He saw there were many missed calls at that moment, and as soon as he turned on the Den Den Mushi, it didn't take long for it to ring.
"Hello..." Sengoku answered.
"Fleet Vice-Admiral! We lost contact with Impel Down!" The urgency in the voice on the other side of the Den Den Mushi was evident.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
"What do you mean lost contact, when did this happen?!" Sengoku asked, not liking the situation at all.
"We contacted them half an hour ago to discuss some prisoners we were transferring before the war, but communication seems to be cut off, there's no call at all!" The Den Den Mushi relayed while everyone near Sengoku, listening, frowned.
"What is this... When was the last time you contacted Impel Down?" Sengoku inquired.
"The last time was when the admirals took Ace out of prison..." Reported the sailor.
"At least 6 hours ago... This is bad, I can't pull forces from here with Ace, what's causing this... Could it be Whitebeard attacking the prison..." Sengoku didn't know what to say, but he knew the situation was urgent.
"We'll send a ship with vice-admirals to check the situation!" He ordered, knowing that the prison was a priority, aware of the criminals housed there.
He hung up the Den Den Mushi and called the communication room with the sailors still waiting. "Fleet Vice-Admiral!!" a new urgent voice emerged from the Den Den Mushi.
"Hm?" Sengoku, about to ask about Teach, frowned, sensing more problems arising.
"The Gate of Justice... it has been opened!!" Shouted the man.
"What, who did that, for whom!?" Sengoku shouted back.
"We don't know, our sailors opened it, they seem to have entered some kind of trance! A ship we can't identify did this and is heading towards Impel Down!" They warned.
"What is all this! Send 4 warships to the prison immediately! I need to know what's happening!" Sengoku shouted furiously, his voice echoing through Marineford.
As night fell, a Marine warship was at full speed towards Impel Down. "Ziahahahaha!" Teach was laughing.
"You see, I managed to put all those sailors under my control, it was easy to make them open the gate for us..." Laffitte commented beside him.
"IIIHHHH!! Let's go to the prison!" Burgess celebrated.
"..." Van Augur was silently sitting on the edge of the ship, cleaning his rifle.
Meanwhile, Hannyabal seemed so excited, and the soldiers and wolves behind him were confused, as the enemy was praising the vice-director after invading the place.
"I got this map, Director Hannyabal. But it doesn't say anything about the entrance to level 6. Can you tell me how to get to level 5?" Luffy asked.
"Of course, as a good director of this prison, I will tell you. It's on the south side of the floor, with a Seastone door used for emergencies, or you can use the elevator itself... Hm?!" Hannyabal realized at that moment and shut his mouth, while Luffy grinned.
"Thank you, Hannyabal. You've been very helpful, I'll check the entrance." Luffy commented as Hannyabal prepared for battle.
"You tricked me!" He shouted, but the next moment, he fell to the ground along with the soldiers and wolves due to the Haki.
"I'm getting really good with my Haki... Let's go!" Luffy said while the crew looked at him, thinking he was very shameless.
It didn't take long for another group to approach them. It was Domino again, using the elevator a moment later.
"Monkey D. Luffy! You'll pay for what you did!" Domino exclaimed as the soldiers pointed their weapons, despite feeling fear.
"You don't give up, do you..." Luffy commented before once again releasing his Haki.
He continued walking and grabbed Domino, shrinking her and placing her in a small cage.
"Are you kidnapping her?" Kuina asked, raising an eyebrow.
"This place will get dangerous... it's better to keep her in a safe place." Luffy said despite the unsatisfied looks. It wasn't a lie; the prisoners would be released for some reason, and he knew about Blackbeard's arrival. So he really wanted to protect her.
"We're arriving at level 5." Luffy announced as they reached a freezing door.
