Chapter 185: Grandfather and Grandson are Stunned, the Others are Stunned Too!
"Roronoa, Black Leg Sanji."
Clutching the bleeding sword wound that pierced his chest, Smoker looked gravely at the two n before him.
It’s been a long ti. Have these two grown to this extent?
The crew he had chased in Loguetown... now, he felt threatened without even their two top aces needing to be present.
As expected, Headquarters had underestimated them too much.
"An unprecedented invasion of Impel Down. Your purpose can only be for Ace," Smoker understood in his heart.
He had thought the invaders would be under Whitebeard’s command, but he never expected it to be the Straw Hat crew.
A faint sense of foreboding rose in his heart. What he was most worried about now was, would the old man go easy on his own grandson?
Clang!
Zoro stood straight, his legs spread. He swung his two swords down diagonally, flicking the blood from the blades onto the snow, and said with a grin:
"The navy doesn’t need to concern itself with our purpose. You just need to know that you will be defeated here."
With that, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, his two swords, Yubashiri and Kitetsu, held vertically at his sides with the tips pointing up.
His eyes turned cold, his sword intent suddenly erupting. He bent his legs to gather force and shot out like a cannonball.
"Don’t be so arrogant, pirate!"
Smoker roared and charged to et him, drawing the two short jitte from his waist and spinning them in his hands before gripping them tightly.
They were pure silver-white, their bodies unsharpened like rods, with a straight hook on one side that was edged on the inside.
He was used to using jitte as weapons, but these two did not have Sea-Prism Stone on their tips. Instead, they were a pair of famous blades—
—[Fengzhe!] (Sharp Break/Fold)
Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew. Haki, black as ink, imbued both their weapons. Smoker used the straight hook at the guard of his jitte to firmly lock Zoro’s blades.
The cold edges trembled continuously, making a clattering sound. The two were locked in a stalemate, grappling for strength.
"A bit interesting, Smoker," Zoro said with a cold smile, the muscles in his arms bulging.
"Nigorizake!"
Bang!
The heavy force pressed down, causing Smoker’s body to sink. The ground beneath his feet even cracked. The two longswords were withdrawn and slashed down again.
Smoker leaped backward, puffed out his cheeks, and suddenly exhaled a cloud of smoke that covered the entire area!
"White Out!"
"108 Pound Phoenix!"
Zoro quickly swung his sword from bottom to top, and a green flying slash split the smoke before him in two!
Boom!!
The expanding smoke exploded on both sides of him, thick black smoke mixed with a large number of flying embers.
Smoker hooked the jitte with his thumb, brought his palms together, and controlled the scorching smoke generated by the explosion.
"Black Smoke: Burning Embers Linking Cities!"
The scorching thick smoke, as if alive, rolled and surged towards Roronoa.
Zoro held his arms horizontally, took a step forward, and twisted his body. The airflow seed to coil around his twin swords.
"Black Rope: Great Dragon Twister!"
A gust of wind, sharp as a blade, rose from the ground, blowing away the surging black smoke while spiraling towards the airborne Smoker!
"White Launcher!"
Smoker’s lower body spewed smoke, propelling his body. His speed increased by a notch, and he dodged the tornado before diving down.
Suddenly, he caught a black figure out of the corner of his eye, stepping on the air and rapidly ascending to attack him.
"Sky Walk!"
Sanji flew in front of the opponent, and with a spinning kick, struck out with his burning red leg.
"Mouton Shoot!"
Bang!
Smoker crossed his arms to block. The heavy force sent him flying back, with no leverage in the air.
Gritting his teeth, he transford his arms into smoke and spewed them out, his extended fists gripping the jitte as he chopped down fiercely!
Sanji quickly lifted his leg and kicked the jitte from below. His body and the fist touched and then imdiately retreated from each other.
Just as he landed, he heard Zoro sneer disdainfully from the side, "Damn cook. I don’t need your help; I can handle this myself."
"Idiot Moss-head, now is not the ti to worry about such things. We have to finish him quickly. There’s probably an incredible person down below."
Sanji’s brow showed a grave expression. At this ti, why would Smoker be on the fifth level?
If the navy had strengthened Impel Down’s defenses, they should be on the warships outside.
Thinking back to their eting in Water 7, the scene of him appearing with Garp, and then combining that with Ace being Luffy’s brother, and Garp being Luffy’s grandfather...
Sanji suddenly had a bad guess.
"Heh heh, not a bad brain on you. You guessed right. The old man is on the sixth level right now."
Smoker spoke in a low voice. "If you had co a day earlier or a day later, you probably would have broken Ace out. Your timing is really unfortunate."
Although he said that, Smoker actually had no confidence in his heart.
Having spent so ti with Garp, he knew the other was a man of passion. Asking him to send both his grandsons to prison was probably too much for him.
Smoker only hoped Garp wouldn’t do anything foolish. The Straw Hat crew was one thing, but Ace’s public execution had already been announced to the world.
They had no way out. If Ace was rescued, it would be a complete failure for the entire Marine organization, and their reputation in the eyes of the world’s civilians would plumt.
"So it’s true." Hearing Smoker’s words, Sanji’s face grew even more grim.
Even Zoro couldn’t help but frown.
A man’s reputation precedes him. From his experiences on his journey, he knew full well that his own strength was nothing special on this sea full of powerhouses.
And, what choice would Luffy make? Unlike before, this ti he was facing his own family. Could he still be as resolute as before?
"Daring to get distracted while fighting ? You’re looking down on too much, pirate!" White smoke billowed from Smoker angrily as his body dived down from the air.
"—Phew. Thinking too much now is useless. Let’s finish this quickly and go help Luffy. I don’t know what that damn four-eyes is dawdling for."
Zoro let out a long sigh, looked up at the figure flying in from the sky, and shouted in a low voice, "Damn cook! Give a kick!"
With that, he dragged his longswords, which were emitting a biting cold light, rushed towards Sanji with light steps, leaped lightly into the air, and tucked his legs.
"Don’t order around, you bastard!"
Sanji protested loudly, but his body was very honest, extinguishing the scorching flas on his foot.
"Air Force SHOOT!!"
He pivoted on his left foot, spun his body in a circle, and swung his right leg up fiercely from below.
Zoro stepped on his rapidly striking leg, and using the terrifying reactive force, he pushed off in the opposite direction, instantly transforming into a green streak of light and shooting straight out!
"Demon Aura: Nine Sword Style!"
His two longswords were crossed in front of him, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Faintly, phantoms seed to condense around him, transforming him into a three-headed, six-ard Asura!
"Asura: Majesty Pierce!!"
Zing—!
The sound of a sword humd in his ears. In Smoker’s shocked pupils, the entire space lost its color, and a sword light seed to pierce through heaven and earth!
Clang!!
Squelch!
The sharp blade knocked away his jitte and cut through his chest, a large spray of blood bursting from his body.
—Bang!
Smoker’s diving figure lost control, crashing into the snow and plowing a trench dozens of ters long.
The scarlet blood dyed a patch of pure white snow, like a solitary plum blossom blooming in the cold.
Clang!
"Damn it." A pair of jitte were stuck in the ground beside him. Smoker weakly lifted his eyelids.
In his gradually blurring vision, a blue figure leading several people arrived, regrouped with Zoro and Sanji, and then ran straight into the depths of the snowfield.
"...You old geezer, don’t disappoint ."
Smoker’s hoarse throat struggled to get the words out, and then his eyes went black as he fainted.
At the sa ti, on Impel Down’s rarely known sixth level, the Infinite Hell.
Luffy ran wildly through this dark dungeon, followed by Nami, Kid, and Law.
Beside him was a burly man with disproportionately short limbs, thick makeup on his face, and a purple-blue afro.
Looking at this man who had suddenly appeared, claiming to be Ivankov and saying he wanted to break out of prison with them, Nami was full of doubts.
Queen of Okama, Level 5.5, New Human Paradise... She was completely bewildered by what she heard. More importantly...
"So after all that talk, why do you want to help us?!"
"Hee-haw! Although I’m in Impel Down, by picking up newspapers from the guards’ trash cans, we can also understand that the world is currently in turmoil."
Ivankov’s large face was filled with excitent as he explained:
"My comrade Dragon will definitely take this opportunity to make a move, and it just so happens you guys are causing a ruckus in Impel Down..."
"This is fate! Now is the ti for to get out!"
With that, Ivankov stood on his tiptoes and began to spin excitedly like he was dancing ballet.
"Dragon? You know Luffy’s dad? Are you also part of the Revolutionary Army?"
Nami caught the key word. Luffy also couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the other person with a puzzled expression.
Ivankov didn’t hide it, saying frankly, "That’s right. Since we’re cooperating, I’ll reveal my identity to show my sincerity. I’m a cadre of the Revolutionary—eh?"
"Dragon is your dad!!!"
Bang!
Ivankov’s eyes bulged out as he shouted, his entire body flying backward out of nowhere and crashing heavily against the wall.
Equally jaw-dropped were Kid and Law behind him, who shouted:
"You’re the son of the leader of the Revolutionary Army?!!" ×2.
"Ah, although I’ve never t him, that’s what Grandpa said," Luffy said to them with a calm expression.
Ivankov ran up again, took a deep look at Luffy, and fell silent. He didn’t seem to be lying.
His mind replayed mories related to Dragon...
"Straw Hat, are you from the East Blue?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
Ivankov tested him with a few more simple questions. Although it was incredible, based on the information he had, it was probably the truth.
"In that case, I have even more reason to help you. If it were any other ti, it would be one thing..."
Ivankov’s expression couldn’t help but beco grave. "But today, there happens to be a very strong person in Impel Down. It probably won’t be that easy for us to break out."
"What?"
Nami was startled. "Isn’t the strongest person in Impel Down Magellan? Reiner said he could handle it."
Ivankov replied, "No, your information isn’t wrong. It’s just that today, the Marine Hero..."
"Ahahaha!!"
Suddenly, a voice ca from the depths of the corridor. The group imdiately stopped, held their breath, and looked at the silhouette approaching from the darkness.
Garp’s figure slowly erged from the darkness, laughing loudly as he shouted:
"You’ve got a lot of nerve! Daring to co break soone out of prison! Watch as I send you all to jail one by one with a single punch! Whitebeard’s—"
"...Huh?" Looking at the group of people who had stopped before him, Garp was suddenly stunned on the spot, completely bewildered.
On the other side, upon seeing Garp’s face, which often appeared in the newspapers, Kid and Law instantly showed expressions of terror.
We ca to cause a ruckus in Impel Down, but no one said the Marine Hero was here!!
And compared to them!
Luffy’s eyes widened even more, his jaw dropping to the floor in shock. "Grandpa!!"
"Luffy!!" Garp was equally dumbfounded!
Grandfather and grandson stared at each other, both completely bewildered.
Why is it you!!?
Hearing their ridiculous conversation!
Kid, Law, and Ivankov were instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the wall, looking at the two in shock!
"Grandpa!!?" ×3
What the hell kind of family reunion is this!!
