One Piece: I, a scum of the navy, became an admiral Chapter 211

An ear-piercing alarm blared, and red and blue警灯 flashed wildly throughout Impel Down.

“Alert! Alert! Level One Alert!!”

“This is bad! The great pirate ‘Golden Lion’ Shiki has escaped!!”

“Quick! Follow him, we can’t let the Golden Lion get away!!”

The thud of guards’ boots mixed with the crackle of Den Den Mushi broadcasts echoed from all corners of Impel Down.

At this moment, Impel Down was in chaos, with almost all security forces mobilized.

A prisoner escaping from Impel Down on their own was truly unprecedented.

The Seastone used in Impel Down was all of high purity, almost completely suppressing Devil Fruit abilities.

This left the Impel Down guards utterly bewildered, as they couldn’t have imagined ‘Golden Lion’ Shiki would actually sever his own legs to break free.

In fact, only Shiki could escape using such a method; if it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have been able to move.

Shiki is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, with the power of the Float-Float Fruit, allowing him to defy gravity and fly, and to manipulate non-living objects he touches, making them float.

This was also why Shiki escaped, while other great pirates merely watched, not asking Shiki for help.

What would they do if they really severed their own legs?

Not only would their strength be greatly diminished, but they would also be at Shiki’s mercy. As legendary pirates renowned across the seas, they possessed the pride of strong individuals.

Impel Down, Level 6, Infinite Hell.

Various mocking voices emanated from the depths of the cells.

“Hahaha, Impel Down, known as the impregnable iron wall, actually had someone successfully escape~”

“Interesting, interesting, truly interesting…”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something this amusing!”

“Kekekeke~ He’s really ruthless, he didn’t even care about his own legs.”

The tall prisoner, his massive figure leaning against the wall behind him, looked with a complex expression at a pool of blood and a pair of severed legs in the adjacent cell.

“‘Golden Lion,’ I hope you can bring some excitement to the seas once you’re out!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly closed his fierce eyes and began to rest.

At this moment.

“‘Golden Lion’ Shiki has broken through the defenses of Level 3!”

“He’s heading towards the warehouse! All units, intercept him in advance!” The roar from the Den Den Mushi loudspeaker boomed throughout Impel Down.

An old man with long golden hair floated in the air, blood dripping “drip-drop” onto the floor.

His face was somewhat contorted, enduring the pain from his legs. With a single hand-blade strike, a sharp slash cut the last guard in half at the waist.

The guard’s eyes widened in disbelief as he fell into a pool of blood, a Den Den Mushi also dropping from his grasp.

“Hello?! Do you read me?! Do you read me?!” An anxious voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

The reply was a clear static sound…

‘Golden Lion’ Shiki grabbed in the air, and the Den Den Mushi landed in his hand.

He squeezed hard with his right hand, and the Den Den Mushi was instantly crushed to pieces by Shiki.

“After retrieving my weapons from the warehouse, I should escape as quickly as possible. It’ll be troublesome if Sengoku and Garp arrive…”

Shiki tore off the clothes from the guard’s corpse and made a makeshift bandage for his legs.

Now, what he needed to do was go to the warehouse to retrieve his two beloved swords, “Sakura Ten” and “Kogarashi.”

Normally, when a pirate is incarcerated in Impel Down, all their belongings are stored in the warehouse. Shiki’s items were naturally no exception.

The warehouse was on the first level anyway, so it was just a detour.

Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Impel Down’s distress call had already come through.

With a “bang,” Sengoku slammed his hands on his desk.

“Σ(っ°Д°;)っ What did you say?! ‘Golden Lion’ Shiki escaped?!”

“Are you joking with this old man?! ‘Golden Lion’ Shiki is a Devil Fruit user, how could he possibly break free from Seastone’s suppression?!”

Sengoku’s eyes were wide open, these words practically screamed out, making the entire room tremble.

A fearful, anxious voice came from the Den Den Mushi:

“It’s true, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, he cut off his own legs.”

“‘Golden Lion’ Shiki has already defeated Vice-Warden Hannyabal and broken through the defenses of the second level…”

“What about Warden Magellan?!” Sengoku then inquired.

The Den Den Mushi explained to Sengoku:

“To-today is Warden Magellan’s day off, he’s not in Impel Down…”

“Please, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, send reinforcements… Ah! Don’t come any closer…!”

“Hello? What’s wrong?!” Hearing the sounds from the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku quickly asked.

But no matter how Sengoku asked, there was no response…

A few moments later.

“It’s Sengoku, huh? I didn’t expect this old man to hear your voice again, it’s quite nostalgic~”

A voice incredibly familiar to Sengoku came from the Den Den Mushi, making Sengoku’s pupils contract.

Sengoku’s expression turned solemn, and he said in a serious tone, “Shiki, surrender now, and you still have a chance…”

Before he could finish, Sengoku’s warning was mercilessly interrupted by Shiki, who said mockingly:

“Hahaha~ Go back? I severed my own legs just to escape, and you want me to go back? Are you still dreaming?!”

Sengoku’s tone became incomparably authoritative, and he warned with a grave expression:

“Shiki, don’t forget, Garp and I personally sent you into Impel Down. Do you think you can escape?”

“If we catch you again, you’ll suffer greatly!”

Shiki chuckled, a disdainful voice coming from the Den Den Mushi.

“If it weren’t for Roger back then, do you think you two could have caught me?!”

“Alright, let’s save the reminiscing for another day. This old man doesn’t have time to waste words with you right now!!”

“Shiki…” Sengoku roared into the Den Den Mushi.

But the Den Den Mushi made a “buru” sound and was hung up…

Seeing this, Sengoku suddenly looked as if he had aged decades, slumping into his chair.

After a moment of contemplation, Sengoku had already thought of a countermeasure.

It was too late to go to Impel Down now. With Magellan absent, no one could hold off Shiki. Even with the ocean currents between Marine Headquarters and Impel Down, it would still take several hours to get there. By the time troops were dispatched, it would be too late.

And ‘Golden Lion’ Shiki, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Float-Float Fruit, coupled with his status as a Great Swordsman, it was no exaggeration to call him the Sky Dominator.

If Marine Headquarters had any aerial capabilities…

Instantly, two figures appeared in Sengoku’s mind.

Meanwhile, at Sabaody Archipelago, Marine Base.

Inside Allen’s room.

“Creak, creak” sounds emanated.

Toki and Dole, their fair faces flushed crimson…
