Chapter 770: Sengoku's Arrival
The Flying Pirates had left.
The remaining Criminal did not give up.
Even when facing a Monster like Garp.
Most chose to jump directly into The Sea, grabbing onto the large amount of wreckage from the shattered warship for support.
They quickly escaped Impel Down under the cover of night.
There were also some Pirate who dared not face the dark Great Sea, feeling it was a dead end.
They preferred to remain in Impel Down.
After all, for them, the only way to leave Impel Down was through the Gates of Justice to Enies Lobby or Marine Headquarters.
And that was an impossible feat.
The Gates of Justice were tightly shut, and the other Sea Area were filled with dangerous Whirlpool and irregular ocean currents.
There were also a few clever Pirate who secretly lurked around Impel Down.
Reinforcements from Marine Headquarters would definitely arrive, and in the future, prison ships would be sent to Impel Down.
As long as they were alive, there was a chance to secretly leave this Sea Area by hitching a ride on the incoming and outgoing warships, though it wouldn't be easy.
Magellan rushed out from inside Impel Down, and this was the sight that greeted him.
Tears streamed uncontrollably from his eyes as he knelt on the ground, hands supporting himself.
In less than an hour, the entire Impel Down had fallen again.
A large number of Criminal were released and escaped.
And Impel Down?
The strength it had painstakingly restored was once again massacred, with less than one in ten of the remaining members still alive.
Magellan's heart was filled with immense pain, the feeling of powerlessness emanating from within him plunged him into deep despair.
Warden Duotuo was killed.
Shiryu, who had entered Impel Down with him, had betrayed them.
They, who were called the "Impel Down Twin Stars," were simply a joke.
After this battle, Impel Down was once again nailed to the pillar of shame!
Seeing Magellan in this state, Garp said nothing.
He sat on the ground, panting, his body soaked with sweat.
A long-distance trek at full burst, facing powerful blockades time and again, destroying a warship carrying a large number of Criminal.
He had done everything he could.
These Criminal were not worth worrying about.
This Sea Area was completely blockaded; those who could escape had already escaped.
It would be very difficult for them to get away now.
The subsequent large Marine Force would definitely conduct a carpet purge of the entire Sea Area.
Moreover, the Sea Kings were already stirring.
Even if they could escape the Marines' purge, they would die in the belly of the Sea Kings, or perish on The Great Sea.
Not long after, the Marine warships led by Sengoku arrived.
Seeing the chaotic appearance outside Impel Down, they knew that Impel Down had fallen, and even Garp couldn't stop it.
He notified the subsequent Fleet to hurry and apprehend the Criminal.
Inside Impel Down, the Marine General, led by Sengoku, held a temporary meeting.
The outcome could not be changed; the important thing was to understand exactly what had happened.
Which Criminal had escaped?
Besides that, there were the follow-up matters for Impel Down.
Given Impel Down's current condition, it was certainly unable to continue its mission of guarding and imprisoning Pirate.
Two falls indicated that it had no ability to resist Top-tier Monster like Shiki "The Golden Lion" who possessed aerial ability.
"So, the main reason was Shiryu's betrayal?
If it weren't for him, those Criminal wouldn't have been released so quickly, and the Flying Pirates wouldn't have left so soon."
The fact that the culprit was the Flying Pirates did not surprise Sengoku.
They had guessed as much before arriving.
The main point was that the Flying Pirates were too efficient.
Even though the Marines reacted immediately and arranged for Garp to abandon the main Force and reach Impel Down at a faster speed, it was still too late.
Through Magellan's description, Sengoku and the others understood the core reason for the failure of this operation.
That was Shiryu's betrayal.
If Shiryu hadn't betrayed them, the Marines might have been able to completely trap the Flying Pirates and the Impel Down Criminal inside Impel Down.
Even if a few members of the Flying Pirates could fight their way out, the other Criminal would have no chance of escaping.
However, this was something no one had anticipated.
Who could have imagined that a promising Impel Down supernova would choose to join the Pirate side?
Sengoku had also heard of Shiryu's name.
This made him truly unable to understand.
Sengoku highly recognized Garp's actions.
Given the limited number of Ability User, he made the best decision.
At the very least, he forced the Flying Pirates to evacuate early, leaving behind most of the Criminal.
If these Criminal had escaped onto The Great Sea, who knows how much trouble they would cause, and how many Civilian would be affected.
The danger involved goes without saying.
"There must be a reason for the betrayal."
Chief of Staff Tsuru frowned; there were indeed some questionable points.
After all, Impel Down was such an important position.
To work there, one needed to pass a review; it wasn't a simple application process.
Magellan and Shiryu did not come from the Marines.
Besides the Army, the World Government also had similar training institutions, where those who performed exceptionally well would be assigned important positions.
It could be said that Magellan and Shiryu were trustworthy and wouldn't easily betray.
Tsuru knew that even though they understood the beginning and end of the incident, Impel Down was not that simple.
After Dotto was parachuted in as the Impel Down Warden, Marine Headquarters found it difficult to obtain intelligence about the internal situation of Impel Down.
In essence, Impel Down and the Marines were actually two different systems.
It was just that Impel Down and the Marines had always had a very close connection.
In recent years, the only connection between Impel Down and the Marines was transporting Criminal, sending people into Impel Down.
Due to Dotto's arrogant nature, the Marine General handling the handover of Criminal would not engage in much exchange; it was basically official business.
In essence, they somewhat disliked people like Dotto.
Especially after it was discovered that Dotto had privately sent some Criminal to Mary Geoise.
Such matters were naturally difficult to conceal.
Ships flying the World Government flag, carrying warrants, frequently traveled back and forth through the Gates of Justice!
It was easy to spot the problem.
However, Impel Down needed Dotto's strength, and Dotto had not touched those particularly important, heinous Criminal, so Marine Headquarters turned a blind eye.
Magellan did not remain silent and seriously recounted the development of Impel Down under Dotto's rule over the years.
Especially the conflict between Dotto and Shiryu.
"That guy!"
"Using private punishment on prisoners, suppressing colleagues by relying on his identity."
Hearing Magellan's account, Sengoku was somewhat angered.
His own hands weren't clean, yet he used that reason to deal with his colleagues.
Perhaps there was also a reason for Shiryu's own unruly nature.
Undoubtedly, the main reason lay with Warden Dotto.
When the Flying Pirates invaded Impel Down, Dotto was still punishing Shiryu.
In the eyes of Sengoku and the others, this was undoubtedly the main reason for Shiryu's eventual betrayal.
"It seems this guy wasn't simple either.
Even if he hadn't betrayed, problems might have arisen in the future."
After learning that Shiryu had decisively killed his companion after betraying them, Chief of Staff Tsuru couldn't help but shake her head.
Sengoku didn't really care about this.
In his opinion, it was normal to have some psychological problems after staying in a place like Impel Down for a long time.
Even secretly killing a small number of Criminal was fine, as long as it didn't involve those important, extremely wicked Criminal.
They could turn a blind eye.
This could also reduce the management stress and burden within Impel Down.
Some Criminal were just a waste of time and resources; it was better if they died.
Even the Hawk Faction Marine General who killed captured Pirate wouldn't be criticized as long as the news didn't get out.
Even if Marineford knew, nothing would happen.
Moreover, Magellan's ability gave him an absolute advantage in Impel Down and allowed him to completely suppress Shiryu.
Marine warships searched The Great Sea for the escaped Pirate one by one.
At the same time, warships carrying the imprisoned Criminal returned to Marine Headquarters.
Currently, Impel Down did not have the ability to hold Pirate; most of the Jailer had died in battle, and there was a shortage of personnel.
It could only slowly restore itself.
