Book Name :- One Piece : Cursed Crew ----------------------------- Crocodile now faced a choice. As a Logia Devil Fruit user, he could easily escape once the Seastone handcuffs were off. It was a common misconception that all of Impel Down’s cells were made of Seastone; the Marines simply weren’t wealthy enough to build the entire prison out of it. "My purpose? Of course, to make you my subordinate!" Ikki said, laying his cards on the table. He genuinely wanted Crocodile to join his crew. Crocodile was a formidable pirate who had ventured into the New World and even challenged Whitebeard. He only lost to Luffy in the original story because of the main character’s plot armor and his appearance too early in the narrative. After hearing Ikki’s blunt explanation, Crocodile unlocked his handcuffs. "Whether you can be my boss depends on your generosity and strength!" He turned into a cloud of sand, slipped through the bars, and headed toward the LV6 utility room. When he reappeared, he was wearing a coat, his hair was slicked back, and a cigar was in his mouth, looking as stylish as ever.

Luffy didn’t have many high-level sparring partners, and a legendary pirate like Shiki was a rare find. "Hey, Golden Lion, I’ll give you one last chance. Are you coming out or not?" Shiki looked at Ikki and said, "Kid, whatever your goal is, you won’t succeed. There’s an existence in the Marines that you can never defeat!" "Oh? Do you also know Imu?" Ikki asked. Shiki looked confused. "Who’s Imu?" "You don’t know? Then who are you talking about?" "Garp. Garp’s power is... beyond..." Before Shiki could finish, Ikki stepped forward and whispered, "I forgot to tell you, Garp is one of our own." Shiki stared at him. "Are you kidding? Garp is the hero and symbol of the Marines!" Ikki finally understood. The Golden Lion wasn’t refusing to leave; he was terrified of Garp. For someone as strong as Garp to break a pirate’s spirit to the point where they’d rather stay in prison, his power must be truly immense. But it didn’t matter to Ikki; Garp was, in fact, on their side. "If you don’t believe me, that’s fine." Ikki turned to leave. "Wait!" Shiki called out. "If what you said is true, then I’ll go with you! Just like the other man, first, you need to open my Seastone handcuffs." Shiki, being intelligent, had already figured out Ikki and Ace’s purpose. They were here to make a statement, not to stage a mass breakout. The smartest move was to get rid of his restraints so he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage if a fight broke out. Ikki threw the key to the Golden Lion, then went to the live broadcast Den Den Mushi and turned it off. "Alright, everyone, please follow me out of Impel Down!" The criminals on LV6 cheered. But just as they were about to leave, Buggy rushed in. "This is bad... no, it’s really bad! The Marines have surrounded all of Impel Down! The three Marine Admirals are here!" Ikki had almost forgotten about Buggy. He realized the clown had secretly run off earlier. "Quick! Make me small so we can escape together!" Buggy pleaded. His Devil Fruit power had been revealed, and as a fugitive, if he was caught, he’d be sent at least to the third level. The LV6 criminals didn’t panic at Buggy’s warning. "Hmph! They’re just a bunch of useless Marines! What are you so afraid of?" "Exactly! Take off these Seastone handcuffs, and I’ll kill every last one of them!" Ikki looked at Ace. "The Marines got here pretty fast, didn’t they?" Evil thoughts Ace replied, "In that case, let’s do this now!" Ikki shrugged. "Yeah, I guess that’s the only way." He immediately pulled out a whistle arrow and launched it, producing a high-pitched sound. Simultaneously, Ace activated his dragon power mode, sprouting dragon wings from his back and transforming his hands into dragon claws covered in scales. The Golden Lion, who had just retrieved his two famous swords from the armory, saw their actions and knew what was about to happen. Crocodile’s hand began to form a sandstorm, ready to help Ikki kill the LV6 criminals who had mocked him during his imprisonment. Meanwhile, the other criminals, still in their Seastone handcuffs and shackles, looked on in confusion. But when Ikki’s whistle arrow pierced one of their hearts, they finally realized Ikki’s true intentions: he was here to kill them. Even with their combined strength, they couldn’t fight back. On LV6, they were underfed and overworked, and their physical strength had dropped by more than 50% from their prime. The prison quickly turned into a bloodbath, with corpses and blood staining the corridors. Those who had not been released by Ikki watched in terror, grateful they had been spared. After eliminating the criminals, Ikki and his crew were ready to leave. They passed by a weakened Magellan on the floor. "Why are you doing this?" Magellan asked, his voice weak. He had been in despair when Ikki was releasing the criminals, but now he felt a glimmer of hope. If these people had truly escaped, it would have been a global catastrophe. "Why?" Ikki said, crouching down to look him in the eyes. "We want to prove that the bloodline of the Pirate King has not been cut off!" With that, he led everyone out of LV6. At the same time, outside of Impel Down, the three Marine Admirals stood on the deck of a warship. They hadn’t entered the prison because they were afraid of destroying it. Impel Down’s location in the middle of the sea made it incredibly difficult to rebuild. They had decided to wait for Ikki and the others at the exit instead. The three Admirals were accompanied by a large number of Marine Headquarters’ elite Vice Admirals. They were confident that their combined strength was more than enough to handle a group of criminals whose power was less than 30% of what it used to be. The only real threats were Mr. Keyboard Warrior and the man claiming to be the son of the Pirate King.
