Chapter 378: Meito-Golden Wolf
As The Guard Captain faced Allan’s challenge, he let out a cold snort and his hands suddenly transformed into a pitch-black color, as if covered in a layer of darkness. It was clear that he had activated his Armament Haki. The Guard Captain used this power to envelop his body and hands in a cloak of darkness, brandishing his Katana as he took on the appearance of a black warrior.
Allan sneered at the display, saying, “Armament Haki, huh? Impressive, but I wonder if it’s just for show.”
“You’re asking for it!” The Guard Captain shouted in anger and lunged at Allan.
But Allan remained unfazed and chose to stand his ground, using his “Nen” technique to concentrate 70% of his energy in his hands, boosting their attack and defense capabilities. He used the remaining 30% of his energy to protect the rest of his body from The Guard Captain’s attacks.
As the two engaged in a series of clashes, it quickly became clear that The Guard Captain was no match for Allan. He was eventually kicked away and, as he lay on the ground, Allan seized the opportunity to grab The Guard Captain’s fallen sword and deliver a severe wound with a single slash. The Guard Captain’s body was now marred with bone-deep gash, and his left arm had been completely severed. Overwhelmed by his injuries, The Guard Captain finally lost consciousness.
Allan refrained from killing The Guard Captain mainly because he had no love for violence and was not a pirate himself. He preferred to avoid taking things to the extreme, so he chose to spare The Guard Captain’s life rather than end it. After defeating the guard captain, Allan received a reward from the System – the named sword Golden Wolf.
Golden Wolf closely resembled a Tachi sword, but it was distinguished by its shimmering gold blade, which was quite eye-catching. This named sword was considered a fine piece of art. As Allan swung it around, he was quite pleased with its performance.
The Marines were taken aback by Allan’s strength as he had inflicted serious injuries on The Guard Captain, a guard captain. They were also enraged that Allan had disregarded them as if they were nothing.
“Damn it, catch him!”
“He dared to hurt the guard captain. We can’t let him get away with it.”
In response, the Marines raised their guns and pulled the triggers.
Allan snorted in contempt and said, “Perfect, I’ll use you all to test the power of Golden Wolf.”
With a swift slash, Allan sent out a wave of golden energy that knocked out all the soldiers in front of him.
“Nice power!” Allan grinned in satisfaction.
Mr. 3 approached and asked, “Where did you get this sword?”
Allan couldn’t exactly explain how he obtained it, as it was a reward he received after completing a Choice from the system. He tried to brush the question off with a vague excuse.
Fortunately, Mr. 3 didn’t seem to be dwelling on it and changed the subject, asking: “What’s the plan now? Do we go up or down?”
Allan considered for a moment before saying: “We stick to the original plan and go rescue Crocodile and Mr. 1.”
“Alright,” Mr. 3 didn’t object.
Just then, another group of marine prison guards charged toward them.
“Get out of my way!” Allan shouted, slicing through them with a single swipe of his sword. The golden, blinding slash sent them all flying, heavily injured and defeated in an instant.
Allan snarled: “If you’ve got the guts, call Magellan over. Do you shrimp soldiers and crab generals think you can catch me? That’s just a foolish dream!”
Magellan, the head of the prison at Impel Down, was the strongest marine in the area. He was the one responsible for suppressing all the pirates in Impel Down, and no one could stand up to him.
Allan knew that Magellan would definitely come, and with such a major disturbance on the second floor, it was likely that Magellan, as the head, had already heard about it from his subordinates. He could be on his way here right now.
But Allan wasn’t afraid, rather, he seemed excited at the prospect of facing off against Magellan. However, Allan didn’t want to meet him so soon. He wanted to release more pirates and turn Impel Down upside down before he dealt with Magellan.
As Mr. 3 saw the calm expression on Allan’s face, he said: “I never would have thought you weren’t afraid of Magellan. That guy is a monster – even Crocodile and Mr. 1 are wary of him. Boss, who are you exactly?”
Allan chuckled softly, “Well, all I can say is that I’m not a pirate, and I don’t have much fame to speak of.”
Mr. 3 asked, a hint of worry in his voice, “If Magellan really shows up, do you think you can handle him, boss?”
He had joined Allan for two reasons: to repay the debt of gratitude for being rescued from prison, and out of respect for Allan’s formidable strength. However, he had no idea just how powerful Allan truly was. The success of their escape from Impel Down might hinge on Allan’s ability to take down Magellan.
Thus, the question.
Allan patted Mr. 3’s shoulder, sensing his concern. “Don’t worry, if we do run into Magellan, I have confidence in taking him down. But before that, we have to free more pirates and cause chaos here. Plus, we need to rescue Crocodile and Mr. 1 to boost our fighting power, and then we’ll have a shot at leaving Impel Down.”
Mr. 3 was thrilled at the prospect of escape, ready to do whatever it took to make it happen. Freedom was the most important thing to a pirate like him.
As they made their way from the second floor to the third, Allan and Mr. 3 encountered several groups of soldiers blocking their path, all of whom were effortlessly dispatched by Allan with his Golden Wolf. They were also attacked by various ferocious beasts.
The second level of the prison is known as the “beast hell,” so it’s no surprise that Allan and the others become targets for attack by these fierce creatures.
These beasts are even more vicious than ordinary lions and tigers, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them demons.
They have extremely powerful attack power and are no match for ordinary pirates.
However, in the face of Allan’s formidable strength, these beasts are nothing more than ants, unable to withstand a single blow.
In this way, Allan led the pirates of the second level, defeating most of the soldiers and beasts and completely liberating the second level.
And Allan, unknowingly, became their leader.
These pirates may be arrogant, but they respect Allan’s formidable strength.
This is the respect of the strong!
On the way to the third level of the prison, Allan and the others encountered a problem.
The staircase leading to the third level was blocked off by a stone door made of seastone.
In order to enter the third level of the prison, they must break through this seastone door.
A group of pirates tried their hardest, but they were unable to leave a mark on the seastone.
It’s clear that the seastone is incredibly hard and impossible for them to break.
Now, the pirates are in a bind.
They can’t go down or up.
In other words, they’re stuck in the second level of the prison.
“Stand aside, I’ll give it a try,” Allan declared at a crucial moment.
