Chapter 81: Departure and Old Legends

_________ POV Narration_________

Magellan eventually looked at the three of them and decided on a course of action.

"I don't know entirely what is going on... But the three of you should leave. Quickly!" Magellan said as he crossed his arms, looking at the entrance of the room with a complex expression.

"Fine..." Enel said as his gauntlets turned into his usual boat. Neither of the old men wasted any time getting on, although Francisco did study it with his observation haki for a few seconds...

"Enel, could you please hit me with your staff once? Knock me out if possible." Magellan said as he looked at Enel with a serious expression.

"Oh! I guess that makes sense. You get to keep your post this way, at least hopefully." Enel said as he raised his staff with his arm.

Magellan simply had a wry smile as he realized that he'd get in a huge amount of shit for allowing yet another breakout.

But he knew that he'd get some leniency since an actual Emperor broke into Impel Down that time around.

"Clench your teeth!" Enel shouted as he swung his staff without holding back. Magellan closed his eyes and did as told, not protecting himself with Armament in any way.

"Wai-" Garp was about to protest, but Enel didn't give him the chance.

The former Marine hit Magellan's head with his staff the next second, knocking him out instantly and sending him flying into a wall.

Enel hadn't gotten to befriend Magellan all that much beforehand, but he now knew that he was an extremely righteous person. He also seemed to have a lot of respect for the Marine Hero.

Enel silently thanked Magellan for his understanding and proceeded to also get on his boat, ignoring the odd look that Garp was shooting at him.

The boat immediately took off, neither Francisco nor Garp seemed to be startled and neither of them seemed to bother to hold onto anything.

Enel was able to manoeuvre the ship outside of the Prison by going through the hole he had created, the ship had to make a few odd turns in order to do that.

The ship floated and circled around Impel Down for a few seconds, as Enel studied the situation for a bit before sighing.

"The World Government was already moving out to re-capture you..." Enel could sense the agents rushing to the lower levels of the prison.

Many of them had also gathered near the hole that Enel had created, but they were a bit too late, not managing to even catch a glimpse of his ship.

"Bah! What gave them the confidence!? Do they think I'd just allow myself to be captured again?" Garp crossed his arms with a scowl, Francisco also chuckled a bit.

"The World Government has always been conceited... Arrogance is almost in their nature at this point... Too bad they also have enough strength to back it up at times..." Francisco said with a tired voice as he started taking deep breaths.

"Fresh air... Warm Sunlight... I didn't think I'd feel them again in this lifetime."

The old man's words sounded a lot more energetic now, as he lay on the golden boat and turned his eyeless face to the sky. for new novels

Garp and Enel both stayed silent for a few moments, letting the crippled old man enjoy the atmosphere a bit more before Enel finally spoke out.

"Ok so... Who exactly is this?" He asked as he looked at Garp with a raised eyebrow.

"Skypea, huh? Been a long time since I've heard of that place... Somehow, we had never managed to get there, I guess it simply wasn't meant to be part of our journey." Francisco said as he smiled a bit.

"Well, very few people have actually made it there. Which is also why the World Government doesn't have any influence there." Francisco nodded when hearing that, and Garp seemed to remember something, which made him crack his knuckles.

"Oi, Enel... How much exactly did you lie while in the marines?" The old man seemed to gain a sadistic smile on his face, as Enel gulped a bit, wondering if rescuing Garp was a good idea after all...

"Well, I kept my devil fruit a secret till the last second, and I lied about my origin, that's about it really." Enel waved his hand a bit, trying to appease his old teacher.

Garp narrowed his eyes a bit, before laughing a bit and digging through his nostril with a pinky.

"Good, I'll trust you since you saved Ace and Luffy, don't expect Sengoku to do the same though..." Garp said as he looked around the ship for a few seconds.

It was a small rowboat, not that big for three tall people to sit on.

Francisco himself was looking like a frail old man currently, but he was still well over 2.5 meters(8.20 ft) tall.

Enel noticed his gaze and just made the boat a little bigger, to fit all three of them perfectly. Francisco laughed a bit, saying something about having an expensive get-away.

And Garp simply grumbled a bit and continued to talk to Enel.

"Why'd you keep your devil fruit a secret anyway?"

"The World Government had been trying to collect and produce powerful fruits for a while now. I didn't want to get on their radar too soon... Although the Dressrosa incident managed to ruin that a bit." Enel said as he shrugged a bit, remembering more and more about his time in the Marines.

"Well, I guess you're right. I still don't like it though... Some rice crackers would really be nice right about now..." Garp said as he looked at the clouds below him with an exceedingly serious gaze.

"... Wait!" Francisco immediately shot up with a smile on his face.

"We're being followed..." The old pirate said as he stood up. A tired and lazy smile was present on his scared and aged face.

Enel raised an eyebrow and instantly started concentrating harder on his Observation, expanding it greatly as his eyes widened.

'I forgot that they have ways to sneak around observation haki...' Enel narrowed his eyes as he concentrated harder and finally spotted the agents that were following his ship.

There were only 4 of them, all of them using Geppo and approaching the ship at relatively fast speeds.

"Guess we have to deal with them now. Wouldn't want them to follow us home." Enel said with a small laugh.

"Bah! Like they could keep up for that long... But I do feel the need to punch something related to the World Government right now..." Garp cracked his knuckles a bit as he smiled.

'I guess they'll handle this...' Francisco simply continued to sit down, yawning a bit.
