Chapter 73
We could have followed Hanc.o.c.k all the way to level 6 to meet up with Ace but Luffy's impatience and the fact that we don't want to implicate Hanc.o.c.k played a major factor. If Hanc.o.c.k was shown to be involved with our break out then not only her but all the women of Amazon Lily would be involved as well, considering that the government can't touch them per Hanc.o.c.k being a part of the s.h.i.+chibukai. As we were walking into the prison I could hear Hanc.o.c.k swooning and practically wetting herself as her dramatic rendition of love could be heard. Because of her swet and l.u.s.tful voice, many of the inmates started to beat off. As a pretend guard I told them to shut the f.u.c.k up or we will put the hard gays in there with them.
Luffy: Hey Sage, what did you do to Hammock?
Sage: It's Hanc.o.c.k. Nothing much, just gave her something to remember me by.
Luffy: Hmm, Oh well, let's pick up the pace.
Sage: Don't rush too much or we will look suspicious to the others.
I placed no faith in the fact that Luffy will go down the prison quietly. Good thing we didn't follow Hanc.o.c.k because this way I can have a little fun in beating up or killing some people. If we waste time searching for a way down, Ace will eventually be taken to Marineford where I will get to kick a.s.s and take names. After it is all said and done the Marines will be knocked down many notches. As we kept moving we saw Buggy the Clown trying to break out. I waited to see Luffy's reaction before I killed this waste of an Ak.u.ma no Mi.
Luffy: Hey, isn't that Buggy?!
Sage: (Feigning ignorance). Who? Never heard of em'.
At that moment Buggy was being chased by Blue Gorillas, Blugori gaolers as they are called in the story. Buggy was sliced in half as he made his way toward us but since he ate the Bara Bara no Mi (Chop chop fruit), any slicing or chopping action was ineffective. Since slicing doesn't work, how about a beam through his skull? Buggy was always an annoying character to me but even though he was sliced in different ways with Haki by Dracule Mihawk in Marineford then killing him by completely blowing him up or other means other than cutting or slicing can work.
Sage: Don't blow our cover so soon Luffy. Leave that clown alone.
Luffy: He might know a way down.
Sage: Considering we are at the first level and no major alarms are being rung I doubt he even knows where he is going. Leave him be, we can get into places much easier the way we are.
Luffy: He might need our help.
Sage: What the f.u.c.k Luffy! Isn't he an enemy? All we have to do is ask another jailer or a supervisor for directions. We don't need that period blood nose clown, why are you being so stubborn?
Luffy: Whatever, just help him!
I shook my head, I took some debris from the ground and flicked them through the heads of the Blugori killing them on the spot. I should have aimed it at Buggy as well. I was however, able to think up a good idea using Buggy though.
Sage: Stop right there s.h.i.+t nose Buggy the Clown!
Luffy: (Whispering at me) Sage, what are you doing?
Sage: (Whispering back) We are already saving his a.s.s, at least pretend to be a jailer and escort him to the deepest part of the jail or as far we can take him. That way we will not blow our cover.
Luffy: OHHHH!!! Great Idea!!
Sage: Let's knock him out and
Buggy: Hah! You stupid jailers won't catch me!
I flashed behind Buggy, coated my fist in Haki and almost smashed his head in. I figured he can take the pain because of how Luffy smashed him through a wall in the original. After knocking him out, I put him in some shackles I found. I took them because unlike regular metal they actually had a particular aura to them, if I'm not wrong they must be made of Kairoseki (SePrism Stone), which drains Ak.u.ma no Mi users.
I carried Buggy because if Luffy accidentally grabbed the shackles he would lose his strength. Every time Buggy woke up I knocked him out again leaving him with those anime huge lumps on the head. We reached a check point and were told to bring him to Level 3 but since we didn't know how to get there we lied about being new jailers and were given instructions on where to go. Just in case though I asked how we can get to the lower floors, but the only way was to take the main elevator which we have no access to since we are just new jailers. We went as far as level 4. Because of his friends.h.i.+p with Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, Luffy freed him when we pa.s.sed level 3. Luffy introduced me to Mr. 2. We killed the giant sphinx looking thing since it couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe so once it attacked us we finished it off. Since Mr. 2 can mimic people we grabbed a higher ranking jailer knocked him out and let Mr. 2 impersonate him as we finally had access to the lower levels.
Unfortunately the jailer only had access to level 5. It was Saldeath that we had Mr. 2 impersonate. Since we made no huge disruptions no alarms rang out but the real Saldeath must have woken and alerted Chief Magellan. Luffy told me that we should let Buggy free since he "helped us" get this far. I reluctantly agreed and just left him in level 5. Mr. 2 suggested to look for Emporio Ivankov who mysteriously disappeared a long time ago from level 5. We were searching on the 5th level for a few hours while being attacked by the wolves until we saw Magellan in our way. I won't have a problem killing Magellan since he doesn't have a Logia type Ak.u.ma no Mi. There are 3 types of Ak.u.ma no Mi: Logia, Paramecia and Zoan. Luffy's is categorized as a Paramecia which makes his body rubber but still solid. Magellan is the same with his Doku Doku no Mi (Poison Poison fruit) where he can produce poison but his body is solid so he can be hit by physical attacks. As for Logia types, they are mostly element types like fire, ice, light, sand or lava so they have no physical body that can be hit unless one uses Haki or finds a particular weakness to make them be hit like using any liquid to Crocodile who uses the Suna Suna no Mi (Sand Sand fruit). Zoan types are animal related whether they are normal, ancient or mythical.
Magellan: I don't know who you are but your excrusion of my prison ends here.
Mr. 2: Mugi-chan (Straw), Sage-chan, that's Chief Magellan. He has the Doku Doku no Mi power. We don't stand a chance against him. We can't even touch him without being poisoned.
Sage: Hey Luffy, let me take him.
Luffy: No I should take him. As long as he is not like Crocodile or Smokey I know I can beat him.
Sage: But you are not immune to poison. I can beat him without touching him. Not to mention I have to work on my control, he will make a good test dummy. If I do need your help feel free to jump in, okay?
Luffy: For some reason I think I need to fight him.
Every now and then Luffy hears the "Voice of the World" just like Gol D. Roger did. It is true that Luffy will live through Magellan's poison but at the cost of a reduced lifespan because of Ivankov's Horu Horu no Mi (Horm Horm fruit- Hormone). Luffy also does come out stronger and becomes resistant to the harshest of poisons later on but in stories like One Piece, it is little factors like this that will eventually be the downfall of a main character. For example in Dragon Ball young Goku drank Ultra Divine Water, which was essentially poison, and ultimately killed him by heart disease before the androids attacked causing the interference of future Trunks. It was my captain's decision, so I let him fight.
Sage: Hey Luffy, I am jumping in when you can't go on, okay.
Luffy: That's the reason why I am going to fight.
I felt flattered that he knew Magellan was nothing to me. At least he knew if s.h.i.+t hit the fan I could bail him out. Magellan made his first move and called out his poison hydra. It was a ma.s.sive, three headed poison dragon looking thing but he made the mistake of attacking me as well. Since I wanted to keep my involvement in Luffy's fight as little as possible, I picked up some s...o...b..a.l.l.s, hardened them Haki and threw them at the dragon heads causing them to burst apart.
Magellan: Impossible!
Luffy was in second gear already and quickly attacked Magellan while he was distracted. Magellan couldn't afford to attack me again so he kept his fight with Luffy. Magellan thought he was slick and spread a thin, almost undetectable poison but because we were in an extremely cold environment, ice crystals were reflected in the poison. I sneezed and blew it away. Again Magellan was shocked and again Luffy took the chance to land some hits. Magellan grew impatient and used a more lethal poison but even he was not immune to the cold and parts of him was freezing considering the poisons he was using were in liquid form. Luffy was in no better shape. He was..h.i.tting Magellan so he was poisoned on contact and the cold was no good for a rubber man as well. Magellan gave Luffy the "poison baptism" and quickly tried to get me as well. The Henge no Jutsu (Transformation technique) came undone and revealed Luffy's true appearance when he was..h.i.t with the baptism.
Magellan: Mugiwara no Luffy! (Strawhat Luffy)
I didn't want to kill Magellan because in my original life I was a Corrections Officer in Rikers Island. We were often understaffed so 16 hours a day was practically mandatory. An hour and a half to get to and from work leaving me with little rest time. Only on my 2 days off did I rest and catch up or re-watch or re-read anime and manga. It was one of the better paying jobs but I could still only live in a s.h.i.+t small apartment. It's in the past now so I thrusted my Haki infused arm at great speeds and hit Magellan with the wind force alone blowing him away toward the other end of the level. Luffy was covered in poison so I telekinetically lifted and carried him toward Mr. 2 who found Inazuma, a deputy commander of the G Army in the Revolutionary Army who serves under Ivankov. We were taken in by Inazuma and met with Ivankov.
