[Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]
Third Person POV
Impeldown, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Buggy wasn't in a very good situation. As he woke up after being beaten along with all his men when they encountered the vice admirals, he noticed that after some time, the marines, not wanting to waste too much time with low-level prisoners, just left them on the ground and continued on their way to the lower floors.
Buggy stood up and began calling everyone. "Come on, the marines are gone! Let's move before the guards come back here!" he shouted, and everyone began to agree.
"Let's go, Chief Buggy!" they exclaimed. Then a sound came from behind them, and several new prisoners from the fourth level appeared at the entrance to level 1. "More people?" Buggy was confused but soon nodded, satisfied with it.
"Let's go, more of my men have arrived!" he shouted, and everyone from levels 1 and 2 looked at Buggy with admiration.
"You really knew about this, Chief Buggy!"
"Chief Buggy is very strategic!"
They started shouting excitedly for Buggy and moved forward while the members from level 4 joined them, a little confused by the other prisoners' shouting, but they just wanted to get out of prison and nodded as they joined the group heading to the prison entrance.
It was already mid-morning when the marine ship not far away finally saw some sign of the Den Den Mushi starting to work again.
"Finally, let's contact HQ immediately!" the marines exclaimed, and the highest-ranking officer on the ship made the call.
"This is HQ!" the voice on the other side spoke.
The officer wasted no time in informing the gravity of the situation at Impel Down. "Listen, Impel Down is being assaulted by two pirate groups. First, Monkey D. Luffy launched an attack on the prison, cutting all communications. Hours later, Marshall D. Teach launched an attack. We don't know if the two groups are connected, but two vice admirals went down to check the situation. I repeat, Impel Down is under attack and couldn't even resist the first attack from Monkey D. Luffy!!" he exclaimed into the Den Den Mushi.
"This..." The Den Den Mushi showed a surprised face and then switched to a serious look. "We will inform our superiors!" he said and hung up.
Meanwhile, in the first area of the prison, the conscious guards and marines soon noticed something was wrong.
"Hm?" The men treating the wounded from Teach's attack began to hear something.
"I'm hearing footsteps and shouting..." another guard said with some fear.
"Don't tell me it's..." Before he could finish, the gate leading to level one exploded at that moment, and a crowd of prisoners emerged, with Buggy leading the group.
"It's the prisoners!"
"Prepare to fight them!"
"Permission to shoot!"
The marines started shouting as they quickly tried to stop them, beginning to shoot into the crowd.
The sound of gunfire quickly alerted the marines on the ship while they were talking directly to Sengoku, having a difficult conversation as they reported what was happening.
"My lord, a crowd of prisoners has surfaced! The guards are fighting them right now!" a marine warned the officer who was on the line with Sengoku.
The sound of gunfire and screams began to echo through the prison. "What is it now!" Sengoku, with a massive headache, shouted furiously.
His shout seemed to be heard throughout HQ as the crowd of soldiers began to position themselves in the square, waiting for the war to start, while many officers there gave motivational speeches to boost the men's morale.
Garp, who was on top of the main justice building, looked down, a little surprised by Sengoku's furious outburst. He would have laughed at it, but there wasn't any mood for that; he didn't even want to hear what was happening. After all, his grandson was about to be executed, and his granddaughter was imprisoned in Impel Down.
"My lord, we must help them!" Back on the marine ship in front of the prison, a marine asked for permission to return to the area where the Den Den Mushi wouldn't work.
"Alright, stop them and keep us updated on the situation. I can't send help with the execution starting at this moment..." Sengoku was increasingly cornered. If he sent help, he might lose the chance to have enough force to kill all the targets in this war.
"Alright, we'll do everything for justice!" the marine shouted and began steering the ship back to Impel Down. A tense battle was beginning on the first level.
Sengoku saw the Den Den Mushi lose communication after some time. "It seems he went after his sister... now how did he get that information... I don't know." A voice emerged in front of Sengoku.
"Shouldn't I send reinforcements? All those marines are going to die..." Sengoku said with a lost tone, wondering how they could deal with those enemy forces.
"Maybe, but that will weaken the forces here, which is even worse. To achieve a good result, you should send a large part of the forces; otherwise, it will only delay him. We must wait for him here; after all, he will still be drawn here." The one speaking was none other than Sengoku's former boss, Kong, who was sitting in his office.
Nami continued pulling the ship into the port until the entire Straw Hat crew and their new companions freed from the prison jumped onto the ship, and it finally started sailing again.
"Mugiwara!!" As the ship was about to gain full speed, Magellan appeared at the port, creating a massive red Hydra.
"He's persistent... I admit," Luffy commented and grabbed a cannonball beside the ship. "Let's test this new ability..." Luffy said, having acquired a new level with his Akuma no Mi after fighting at Sabaody and invading Impel Down.
"Moa Moa no Mi: Apply speed... 100 times..." As soon as he threw it, the object flew toward Magellan, who was initiating his attack with the Hydra's heads.
The cannonball disappeared as Luffy threw it like Garp used to, making an explosive sound as it flew at high speed, hitting the middle head of the Hydra and piercing through the red venom. It didn't stop there, continuing to drill through the Hydra, with Magellan seeing the cannonball approaching at high speed, having no time to dodge before it exploded with him.
BOOOOOOM!!
The explosion disintegrated the red Hydra, while Magellan was blasted away, burned, and knocked out for the third time since encountering Luffy.
"The venom is coming this way!!" The okamas screamed in fear.
"We're going to die!!!" Buggy shouted, terrified.
"Leave it to me!!" Ivankov yelled and started blinking, creating giant explosive impacts on each blob of venom headed for the ship. He blinked dozens of times, but it didn't seem enough.
"Leave it to me." Vivi said, raising both hands, creating a wind so strong that it blew all the liquid in the opposite direction.
"It seems nothing else can hinder us. Let's head to Marineford!" Luffy said to everyone standing around the unconscious crowd. Jimbei quickly took the helm while everyone else nodded, except for Buggy, who believed he had finally gained his freedom, only to head straight into the middle of a war. But what else could he do?
Luffy nodded and hoped to find Bepo before reaching Marineford. He didn't put the Black Pearl in the water due to the currents in this sea and wanted to save some energy, having used a lot of Haki and had a small fight against Magellan and Teach.
