Chapter 94: Meeting Ace Again (Ch 94)

“The prisoner sent here this time is of great importance. If anything goes wrong, all of us jailers who are responsible for guarding him may have to pay with our lives.”
On the first floor above the sea, Magellan looked out the door with a serious face and said.
“So serious?”
Hannibal, who was standing aside, looked very panicked when he heard this.
“It’s that serious.” Magellan nodded. “This is what Marshal Sengoku wrote in the letter. In addition, in order to avoid any mistakes during the escort of the prisoners, Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru will accompany us throughout the journey…”
Two generals transporting prisoners together?
How powerful is this criminal?
“Could it be that one of the Four Emperors was captured?”
He thought that even the Seven Warlords of the Sea wouldn’t have such a big scene.
“You’ll know when the servants come,” said Magellan.
Not long.
Amid the jailers’ seven-part curiosity and three-part worry, a medium-sized warship finally sailed through the Gate of Justice and entered the sea outside the city of Impel Down.
“Here it comes!” Magellan said.
Behind him, Hannibal and others quickly stood up, walked out of the gate one after another, and came to the dock in front of the city.
Woo woo~~!
A whistle sounded.
When the ship docked, Aokiji and Kizaru walked down from the boat one on the left and one on the right. Except for Magellan, everyone stood up straight, and dared not even breathe.
“Two generals, where are the prisoners that need to be escorted?” Magellan asked.
“Here.” Kizaru pointed behind him with an absent-minded expression.
Then, two naval soldiers were seen carrying a shirtless man out of the cabin and dragging him to the shore.
“Just one?” Hannibal couldn’t help but ask.
“Just one.” Kizaru blinked and said, “Could there be more?”
“No…” Hannibal scratched his head, then took a closer look at the prisoner.
This guy doesn’t look like someone who could alarm two generals to escort him together.
And at the moment when he was confused, Domino recognized the identity of the criminal at a glance.
“Portgas D. Ace, the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates…” Domino looked at Magellan, “Master Magellan, is he the important criminal you mentioned?”
“Um.”
Without much explanation, he turned around and took the lead.
“Hannibal, I will personally escort everyone down today. You can just stay on the first floor.”
After saying that, he walked towards the stairs with Aokiji and the others.
Hannibal and the others were left staring at their backs, still a little dazed for a moment.
Three admirals…
This scene is much more exaggerated than that of the “pretty boy” back then.
Hannibal thought so.
…
The other side.
Six underground floors.
The “pretty boy” Weller drank up the freshly squeezed juice given to him by someone in one breath, then took out a novel called “Cute’s Voyage Diary” from the bookshelf beside the bed and began to read it with relish.
Yes, bookshelf.
Unlike the empty prison rooms half a year ago, the prison rooms have now been rebuilt.
In addition to bookshelves, desks, recliners, dining tables, tatami beds, and even separate toilets and bathrooms are all available.
This is also thanks to Wheeler’s secret operation.
He used his charm to bewitch all the female guards in the prison. When the time was right, he secretly released fire again in the early morning three months ago, burning himself and several nearby cells beyond recognition.
In order to get rid of suspicion, he even made up his mind and set fire to all his clothes.
Wheeler, who was covered in burns, naturally caused the female prison guards to feel sorry for him.
Everyone showed concern for him and some even took the initiative to use their years of accumulated salary to build such a “luxury suite” for Wheeler during the reconstruction of the cell.
Although Hannibal was extremely envious and jealous about this, he actually had no way to deal with those women.
As for Magellan…
I’m just too lazy to pay attention to this matter at all.
Someone offered to help build the prison cell and he could save some money, so why not do it?
As long as a secret passage wasn’t built when the cell was being renovated, he probably wouldn’t have any objection to converting the room into a luxury suite, let alone into a three-bedroom, one-living room unit.
About an hour later.
“At this point in time… Ace should be on his way here, right?”
Weller muttered to himself, then closed the book and picked up a newspaper from the bedside table.
This is the official weekly report released by the World Government last week.
As if afraid that others might not notice, the headline on the first page of the newspaper was written in a very eye-catching font: “Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates’ 1st Division – Boscas D. Ace, has been arrested!”
In the picture below, Ace is shown with his head lowered, being escorted onto a warship by two navy soldiers, one on each side holding his arms.
“It’s just like in the original book. This guy… didn’t listen to what I said after all.”
But it makes sense. With Ace’s personality, how could he not seek revenge after learning that his brother was killed?
He was shaking his head and sighing.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor.
Hearing the noise, Wheeler put down the newspaper, quickly ran to the door, opened the window on the railing, and stuck his whole head out to look over.
He saw his old acquaintances, Ace and Aokiji, walking towards him one after another.
“He really came.”
Weller raised an eyebrow.
Similarly, Kizaru, who was walking next to Aokiji, also noticed Wheeler in front of him.
“What’s going on with that kid?” he asked.
“Oh, his name is Weiler, and he’s also a prisoner on the sixth underground floor. He was escorted in by Admiral Aokiji half a year ago.” Magellan explained, “This guy seems to be quite handsome, so the female guards in the prison always like to come to this floor to see him. That window… was also built by them at their expense, saying it would make it easier for them to communicate with him up close.”
Kizaru: “…”
This Advance City is truly an eye-opener.
“Hey, long time no see Ace.”
Then, when Ace passed by the cell door, Wheeler also took the initiative to greet him.
“Um?”
Ace, who had kept his head down and expressionless from beginning to end, immediately raised his head and looked over when he heard the familiar voice.
“Whiller?!” he said in surprise.
“Haha, I didn’t expect that we would meet here after we parted in Adebiye Kingdom.”
Wheeler grinned and said another sentence happily.
