Chapter 406 Impel Crisis



Chapter 406 Impel Crisis

Sengoku picked up the screaming Den Den Mushi. As soon as he picked up the call, it began to emit a chaotic sound. Sengoku had a bad feeling because the communication came from the warship guarding the gate of Impel. Sengoku didn't wait for the other end of the Den Den Mushi to speak and directly asked, "What's going on!?"

"Marshal Sengoku!" A panicked voice came from inside the navy. "The Whitebeard pirates are attacking Impel. We can't resist..."

The Marine's words were suddenly cut off before he could finish. There was a busy sound and the Den Den Mushi finally lowered its head. Sengoku's face turned pale instantly. He knew that Whitebeard might attack Impel to rescue his son, but they had dealt with him for so many years and he knew clearly that he would definitely choose Marineford over Impel. But now it was completely beyond his expectations. Moreover, how could they appear at Impel's door without alerting them? This was impossible.

Sengoku quickly came to his senses and began to order the admirals to go for support. The Seven Warlords of the Sea were already in Marijoa and they would not be of any help. He could only hope that Magellan could hold on long enough until the admirals arrived.

But that was three hours later, and a part of him told him that they would not arrive in time because they could not use the backwash currents, and would even have to avoid them. He thought with dissatisfaction that the last message from the prison told him that Whitebeard's men were approaching the control room. He should have expected this when he knew about Whitebeard's attack on Impel, but they somehow knew the situation in the prison very well.

Now he could only hope that Magellan could hold out long enough, but he called Magellan's Den Den Mushi several times, trying to get more information, but no one answered. Sengoku sighed, maybe Magellan was dealing with the Whitebeard pirates and had no time to answer the phone, but he still hoped that someone could report the latest status to him.

"Blue! Blue!"

Zhan Guo immediately picked up the Den Den Mushi phone and said, "Hello."

"Marshal Zhan Guo, this is Impel Hell, and I am the deputy warden Hannibal!"

"What's going on? How's the situation in the prison?!" Although he didn't understand why it wasn't Magellan who called him, Zhan Guo still asked immediately. He urgently needed the latest news.

"Tatsunoko and Fire Fist Ace have escaped from their cells. We believe that Tatsunoko woke up and knocked out the infirmary guards. He then disguised himself as one of the guards and successfully freed Fire Fist Ace and the Shichibukai Jinbe and Crocodile."

"What? Didn't you notice?!" Zhan Guo roared angrily.

"The Straw Hat Kid somehow managed to infiltrate Level 3, and all the guards were busy on Level 4 trying to contain and capture him."

Sengoku held onto the Den Den Mushi tightly. "So what's the situation now?!"

"There's a more urgent situation now, Marshal Sengoku! Warden Magellan was defeated and killed by the Dragon Son!!"

"Right now, Tatsunoko and Ace the Fire Fist, Shichibukai Jinbe, and Crocodile are at Level 3. Buggy the Clown is liberating the prisoners at Level 2. We've lost contact with Level 1. Impel is facing an unprecedented invasion. The situation is out of control. Please provide support as soon as possible!"

"Hannibal, right? I now appoint you as the warden of Impel. You must guard it for me. Tell Yu Zhixi to give him a chance to redeem himself!"

"Yes, Marshal Sengoku!!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Guo sighed deeply, his frustration revealing his helplessness. He could no longer imagine what the prison would look like in the end. He only knew that they had failed completely and suffered heavy losses. He could no longer naively believe that there would be anything left for them to guard before they got there. They would only face an empty prison. He shuddered at the thought of the chaos on the sea afterwards.

The Whitebeard Pirates were using all their strength to attack the prison head-on. Inside the prison, there were also the free-moving Ace of Fire Fist, Lucci the Dragon's Son, Shichibukai Jinbe, Shichibukai Crocodile, Straw Hat Boy, and a large number of prisoners who had escaped from their cells. When he thought that all this was the result of Garp's bloodline, he was furious, "Garp!!!"

……

"This door must be mixed with seastone!" Thatch said as he knocked down the guard who rushed over. "Otherwise, it wouldn't have lasted so long under Mother Bird's feet."

"Thatch, shut up." Marco had a gloomy face and vented all his anger on the door leading to the second floor. Their progress was too slow and there were closed doors everywhere.

"Wa Zheng Quan!"

Thatch turned to look at the little girl from the revolutionary army who was attacking the guards. Her punches were merciless and he could see the undisguised anger on her face. She had a feeling that someone was going to be in trouble.

"You have to be more careful!" Izou said expressionlessly as he knocked down the guard behind Thatch who was about to swing his knife at him. "You let your guard down."

"Oh, that's all right!" Thatch grinned and knocked down another guard.

"You were almost ambushed!" Izo said with a frown.

"Oh, Marco has taken care of the door, we can rush in!" Thatch quickly changed the subject, not wanting to listen to his brother's lecture.

They rushed down the stairs pushing down anyone who tried to block their way, Thatch grinning as he and his brothers stormed onto the second floor, the guards yelling when they noticed them, the two sides fighting without hesitation.

Thatch, Marco, Izo, and the little girl from the Revolutionary Army headed towards the third floor while taking out any guards who came close to them. However, when they reached the cells, Thatch noticed two sneaky guys who seemed to be unlocking the prisoners' doors. The main one was using something white (probably wax) to create the shape of a key, which could be useful for the messy doors of the prison and the possible handcuffs on Ace and Lucci's hands.

Thatch quickly knocked down the guard, broke away from the melee and walked towards the two men. Before they could react, he grabbed the key maker's shoulder. The other red-nosed man was a little smarter and ran away when he approached.

Thatch ignored it, knocked down the approaching guard, and brought the man to Marco. "Marco, this guy can make keys."

Marco nodded and glanced at the man "Help us down, we'll get you out of here.

Mr.3 nodded frantically. He was so scared. He didn't expect to encounter the invasion of Whitebeard pirates here. Buggy didn't warn him at all and ran away on his own.

Under the leadership of Mr. 3, the Whitebeard pirates quickly and easily passed Level 2 and came to a familiar door. Mr. 3 opened the door easily, which made the Whitebeard pirates cheer. It was great that they didn't have to waste time breaking down the door.

Strangely enough, there were only a few guards on Level 3. They didn't have long to ponder this, because halfway to the 4th floor, they encountered a group of strange guys, most notably Ace and Lucci following behind them. Free, the Whitebeards were ecstatic, letting out a huge cheer, "Ace!! Lucci!!"

"Hey!!" Ace responded with a grin.
