Chapter 80: Fight and Grand Entrance

Chapter 80: Fight and Grand Entrance

__________ POV Narration__________

Francisco, the old man stood still as he felt the world around him shift.

"Garp... I don't think escaping without a fight is possible at this point..." The old pirate said as he tapped his wooden stick on the ground.

"... Whatever! Don't you dare kill any of them!" Garp then dashed at the prison guards and vice warden.

Magellan was quick to cover himself in Venom, dashing towards the 'fake' Garp in front of him.

Garp covered his fists in Haki as he punched at the Vice Warden's stomach.

Magellan flared up his venom and blocked the punch as he slid backwards, the rest of the prison guards quickly turned and started to circle around the prisoners while staying out of Magellan's way.

This led to them only circling around Francisco, as 'Garp' was being dealt with by Magellan, and they didn't want to get in the way of his venom.

Garp squinted a bit as the amount of Venom around him increased, Magellan seemed to be exuding more and more of it by the second, making him annoying to approach.

After all, Garp knew that touching the Venom was ill-advised, but he couldn't exactly do much else besides coat his body in haki and hope for the best. He was strongest when fighting his opponents face to face.

"... I don't think your way of approaching this is all that optimal..." Francisco, the old pirate, said as he tapped his walking stick onto the ground.

"Shut it!" Garp punched Magellan's stomach once more in a quick motion, sending the Vice Warden flying backwards and then quickly shaking his fist to throw off the thick venom that covered it.

"I'd recommend throwing rocks at him," Francisco said as he smiled a bit as he seemed to start reminiscing about some things.

"Remember how you used to slug around that huge chained cannonball? I remember you sinking a few of our ships with it... Good times." Francisco said with an amused tone.

It was clear that he wasn't exactly all that fearful of the situation around him.

A few correctional officers had made their way to him, Garp didn't bother to stop them, he knew Francisco could take care of himself.

The prison guards quickly tried to entrap the old pirate with their seastone Man Catchers. The old man simply smiled a bit when feeling so many people around him.

In the blink of an eye, the old pirate's walking stick struck at the napes of all of the prison guards around him.

The old man was panting, but he didn't seem all that bothered besides that.

His grip on his wooden cane was rather weak, but he was still strong enough to deal with regular soldiers.

"I can at least deal with this much..." The old man said through heavy breaths as he turned his head towards the Vice Warden in the distance.

"I'm guessing you won't be trying to finish him off or anything..." Francisco said as he felt the Vice Warden get up rather quickly after Garp's punch.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

"... I won't just go around killing marines..." Garp said as he clenched his fist and looked at the staff of Impel down with a frustrated gaze.

To him, they were as much part of the marines as everyone that had participated in the war. And he didn't like the fact that he was fighting them now one bit.

"Well, there's a reason why they call you a hero, I guess..." Francisco said with a cheeky smile. Garp had caught him up to speed on recent events, at least to some extent.

Then, the old man seemed to sense something, so the corners of his mouth lowered and he turned his head to the ceiling.

While this was happening, Garp wasn't exactly standing still, he was constantly ripping out pieces of the floor and throwing them toward the recently demoted Vice Warden.

The Acidic Venom seemed to melt right through the projectiles Garp was throwing. The Venom was getting blown away more and more, but Magellan seemed to be able to create more and more Venom to replace it.

The entire situation managed to annoy Garp quite a bit.

Enel had also contributed to catching quite a few criminals in the marines, him working to free them wouldn't have made much sense to Garp.

Magellan studied the situation with some sweat on his brow.

He was already having a hard time dealing with the prisoners that had escaped, now the Enel, an actual Emperor had to go and poke a hole into his prison.

But the familiar way Enel was speaking to the prisoner was also concerning. Enel had also called him 'Garp'.

Everyone in the Marines knew about Garp's friendship with the Sky King.

So was Enel also being fooled by the shapeshifting prisoner as well?

But... Enel was an actual Emperor! How exactly would he mistake his friend for someone else so easily?

"Something doesn't add up..." Magellan said as the venom around him started retracting into his body.

'The World Government was lying to us?! I mean, it's nothing new... But this isn't a good sign!'

Enel turned his head to the Vice Warden with an odd half-smile on his face.

"Magellan! It's great to see you again... Our last meeting was rather short-lived, I'm afraid..."

Enel didn't bother attacking Magellan either, seeing as the Venomous Warden didn't seem to be aggressive anymore.

"I am a bit confused here... Are you actually Vice Admiral Garp...?" Magellan turned his head to Garp, as he approached slowly with his hands raised, signifying he meant no harm.

"OF COURSE I AM!" Garp shouted with anger as he threw a rock at the ground, cracking it a bit more as he huffed a bit and started mumbling to himself.

"I-I see. Sorry about this!" Magellan instantly bowed when hearing that confirmation. He was also feeling a bit glad that Garp wasn't out for blood.

"... Seriously, what the hell was going on here?" Enel asked as he crossed his arms and tilted his head.

"The World Government playing their usual games... Nothing really new... Seems like they wanted to faze out Garp this time around..." Francisco said as he shrugged a bit.

Magellan simply clenched his fists tightly when hearing that... 'If they can try this with Garp... Then what about the rest of us?!'

The Vice Warden felt genuinely insulted by the situation. After all, he had been tricked into attacking the respected Marine Hero...

"I mean, obviously... But I thought they'd at least inform the wardens about this stuff..." Enel said as he looked at the hole he had created.

"They didn't inform us of anything..." Magellan said with shame rather apparent in his tone.

"By the way, sorry for ruining the place. Don't worry, I made sure no one would be able to escape using this..."

Magellan simply nodded a bit, Enel at least didn't seem to be the type of person that could benefit from freeing weaklings on the upper floors of Impel Down.

They had a breakout already, and most of the truly dangerous pirates on those floors were already roaming free...

So Enel truly didn't have much to gain from doing that... He was clearly only there for Garp.

Magellan sighed as the situation was getting more and more difficult in his mind...

Hope you liked the chapter!

Enel just went ahead and redecorated Impel down a bit. Giving the prison a bit of natural lightning(heh) in the process...(obligatory dad joke)
