[Marine Headquarters]
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku!!! There you are!!"
Sitting amidst the ruins of Marineford, half of which had been destroyed by the recent war, Sengoku noticed the soldier who had been searching for him.
"We've managed to confirm the situation at Impel Down!"
The report was about Impel Down.
Sengoku inquired about Magellan.
"He's gravely injured and barely alive!! He's currently receiving intensive care."
The commodore continued his report:
"He's a very straightforward man… he's already taken responsibility for everything. If he could move, he might attempt suicide…"
"Don't let him do anything so foolish!!! What happened inside the prison!?"
Sengoku was stunned, wondering what could have caused Magellan such severe physical and emotional damage.
"Judging by the aftermath, the most tragic incident occurred at Level 6."
"Tragic!?" Sengoku exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.
Standing in the middle of Level 6, Blackbeard raised his arms and laughed.
"Good day, prisoners doomed to waste away in these cages!!"
"Zehahahaha!! You're all just waiting for death anyway, so how does this sound!!?"
"Kill the others in your cell!!!"
"I'll take the survivors to the surface as part of my crew!!!"
Hearing this and seeing even Shiryu accompany this man, the prisoners in Level 6 were filled with intense excitement.
Behind the island of Jaya, where a massive piece of the island had risen into the sky 400 years ago, a ship was hiding among the island's folds.
"Zehahaha! Anyone who thinks we are hiding in the Calm Belt is a fool! It's unthinkable that the world enjoys manga and we don't!"
"Well done, Catarina! It was a wise choice to make you a member of my crew! You alone can go anywhere freely and obtain manga volumes for us without being recognized, thanks to your Devil Fruit ability to change your appearance!"
Teach praised Catarina, who had brought a good number of copied manga volumes from the nearest art store.
"Murunfufu~ You're welcome!"
Despite Catarina Devon's youth, her ugly face made her look exactly like her future self.
"Zehahaha! It would be great if Straw Hat dies; no one will rival my greatness afterward!"
"Oh! The manga has returned to detail what happened in Impel Down! Zehahaha! This is exactly what I expected!"
"Oh, what ferocity! Fufu!" Shiryu laughed as well, seeing the flashback and how Teach handled the matter of choosing his crew.
"This means many in my cell died under my fierce counterpart's feet! Jihahaha!" Avalo Pizarro laughed wickedly after saying that.
"Zihahaha! Magellan in the manga must have suffered greatly at the hands of the dangerous escapees from Level 6 who refused to join me."
"They want to keep things secret? Is the World Government that cowardly!? Zehahaha!"
"This is great! Escaping from the pursuit of Whitebeard's pirates and risking exposure just to get these manga volumes is worth it! Zehahaha! Right, everyone?!"
"That's right, for now, only reading this manga gives our lives some meaning… at least until we reach the power level of our counterparts!" Shiryu replied.
Seeing what Blackbeard did in Impel Down made Sengoku and the others extremely angry.
"It's impossible for Magellan to stop all this alone; his sense of responsibility is indeed admirable." Zephyr sighed.
"That's right, Shiryu's betrayal contributed to Teach's ability to do whatever he wanted in Impel Down. We saw how Teach and his crew were humiliatingly defeated by Magellan," Tsuru added calmly.
"Indeed, Shiryu's betrayal put Magellan in this difficult predicament." Kuzan also nodded.
"Making the worst prisoners in Level 6 fight each other for freedom as a reward, and choosing the worst among the worst, is very evil… but what's with the World Government!?"
"How could they do this!?" shocked Sengoku.
"So he chose his crew from the worst prisoners in the world!!!"
Hearing the story of what happened in Impel Down shocked Sengoku.
"Yes. He brought four prisoners out with him!! But many more prisoners from Level 6 are missing."
"…!!! So there were other prisoners from Level 6 who escaped!!!"
The mere thought of it gave Sengoku an endless headache.
He did not hesitate to give orders.
"Confirm the number and names of the escapees, and send out wanted posters immediately!!!"
"Even a single Level 6 class prisoner could be a huge danger to a country out there!"
Seeing the Commodore's silence, Sengoku felt something was wrong.
"But…" Commodore Brannew was sweating because he feared the Fleet Admiral's reaction after saying this.
"The government has ordered… that the Level 6 incident… be covered up… any further failures could cause faith in the government to fail…"
Hearing this, Sengoku's eyes darkened, blood vessels appeared in his eyes, and he shouted in extreme anger.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?"
"It seems the government allowed the escapees to slip away… just like that."
"But the damage caused by the Impel Down escapees is incalculable!"
"That's right, many people will suffer under their tyranny… and with this selfish decision by the government, we can't even warn the people!"
"This is a major blunder by the government; many people who were loyal to us will lose faith in this government after seeing this chapter."
Sengoku and the others felt the same as Sengoku in the manga after seeing the decision to cover up such a disaster that had already occurred.
After all, allowing such dangerous criminals to escape without bothering them again was akin to allowing them to vent all their accumulated grievances on innocent people outside.
This was a major blunder.
Sakazuki said this word with difficulty, as he was lying on the medical bed in a miserable state.
The ability to say this word surprised Sengoku and the others.
"A bunch of cowards… that's right." Kuzan also replied.
"Hey, hey! If they hear this, we'll be in trouble." Borsalino felt terrified.
It seemed even the Marines were losing faith in the World Government at this point.
