Chương 1410: On top of the war (22)

Xiliu stood quietly in the center, holding the blood-stained sharp blade in his hand, gently wiping the remaining blood on it.

He looked around indifferently, and saw the bodies of the jailers lying in disorder on the ground, their eyes wide open, with expressions of fear frozen on their faces.

Xiliu had no mercy for these dead jailers. His gaze passed through the tragic scene before him and fell on the screen not far away.

The screen clearly showed Luffy and the others successfully escaping.

Xiliu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer: "Let you guys, who don't know how to live or die, attract the attention of that idiot Magellan!"

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and walked towards Magellan's office with steady steps.

After entering the office, Xiliu quickly glanced around and finally fixed his eyes on a bottle of antidote on the table.

He walked quickly forward, grabbed the bottle of antidote, and then carefully put it in his arms.

After doing all this, Xilu walked out of the office slowly without stopping and headed towards the second floor of the Impel Down City.

At this time, outside Impel Down, Magellan was staring with wide eyes at the prisoners who were about to break through the Gate of Justice.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white and his teeth made a clattering sound.

Magellan looked back at the Impel Down city behind him, and a sense of inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.

Since the signal in Impel Down was interrupted, a series of strange things have happened one after another.

First, Blackbeard and his gang swaggered into Impel Down, and then the Gate of Justice was forced open.

This series of events happened so closely that he had a strong feeling that there seemed to be an invisible hand secretly manipulating everything.

Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through Magellan's mind like lightning: Ever since Blackbeard appeared, Shiryu seemed to have disappeared inexplicably!

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Magellan's heart trembled, but he immediately shook his head vigorously, trying to drive the idea out of his mind.

After all, Xiliu was his trusted subordinate, how could he betray him?

However, although Magellan tried hard to ignore this thought, it lingered in his mind like a ghost.

Xiliu has been working with him in Pushan City for more than twenty years.

Over such a long time, they have experienced countless ups and downs together and dealt with various crises together.

Therefore, it is simply a fantasy to say that Shiryu would betray Impel Down!

Magellan clenched his teeth and stared at the warship full of prisoners that was slowly sailing away.

At this moment, his mind kept echoing with the words that the old director had given him.

"Chase! We must not let these prisoners escape!"

Magellan gave the order to pursue without hesitation.

However, the jailer beside him was shocked when he heard the order. He looked at Magellan in astonishment and asked anxiously, "But, sir, if we all go out to pursue, what should we do with Impel Down? Someone needs to guard this place!"

Facing the jailer's questioning, Magellan's face became increasingly gloomy. He roared, "What is the purpose of Impel Down? Isn't it to detain those vicious prisoners? Now that all the prisoners have escaped, how can I, as the director, have the dignity to continue staying here? Chase them!"

Hearing Magellan's firm order, the jailer did not dare to hesitate any longer and quickly responded loudly: "Yes! I obey your command!"

Immediately afterwards, the warship started up quickly, the engine made a deafening roar, and it roared out of the port like a ferocious beast, speeding towards the warship where Luffy and others were.

At the same time, on the second floor of the Advance City, a light sound of footsteps came from far away.

Shiryu walked expressionlessly step by step towards Blackbeard and his group, who looked extremely weak and miserable due to the poisoning.

He looked down at the once invincible Blackbeard Pirates from a high position, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile: "Look at how you look now, you are really in such a mess!"

Blackbeard endured the severe pain in his body, raised his bloodshot eyes and glared at Shiryu fiercely.

At the moment when the two looked at each other, Blackbeard seemed to understand something from Shiryu's eyes - a tacit understanding that could only be perceived between people of the same kind.

Xilu carefully took out the antidote from his arms and fed it to Blackbeard and others.

As time passed, everyone's originally pale and weak faces gradually turned red, and their bodies began to react.

After a long while, Blackbeard opened his eyes first. He moved his hands and feet, feeling the strength gradually returning to his body. He couldn't help but look up and laugh wildly: "Hahahahahahahahaha, this feels great! I'm full of strength again!"

The other members also woke up one after another, with joy on their faces.

At this time, Blackbeard turned his gaze to Xiliu who was standing beside him, grinning and said, "Brother Xiliu, do you want to do something big with us? How about we turn this sea upside down together?"

Xiliu took a deep puff of his cigar, exhaled a cloud of smoke, nodded, and replied: "Okay, I'm planning to leave this damn place anyway, but I'm worried about not having a suitable identity. Then I'll be a member of your Blackbeard Pirates for the time being, but I have to say this in advance, if one day I want to leave, you are not allowed to stop me!"

Blackbeard waved his hand nonchalantly and responded loudly: "Thief, hahahahaha! No problem, as long as you want to leave, you can leave anytime! Our Blackbeard is not the kind of unreasonable person!"

Then, Xiliu asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what exactly are you guys doing in Impel Down? You can't just come here to hang out, right?"

Upon hearing this, Blackbeard suddenly opened his arms as if he wanted to embrace the whole world, and said triumphantly: "Hahaha, of course we are here to recruit powerful crew members, achieve hegemony, and become the real overlord of this vast ocean! I heard that the sixth floor of Impel Down is where many vicious and powerful pirates are imprisoned. I am here to subdue them and make them my capable subordinates!"

After saying this, Blackbeard's eyes flashed with greed and ambition.

"Oh? It turned out to be like this? That's really unfortunate!"

Xiliu raised his lips slightly, and said jokingly: "The sixth floor is now empty, and all the prisoners have escaped!"
