One Piece : Marine Scientist

Impel Down.

This was the world's largest prison, located at the bottom of the sea in the Calm Belt.

Surrounded by countless Sea Kings, it was known as an impregnable fortress!

And now, deep within Impel Down's sixth level—a place called the "Eternal Hell," a realm of eerie darkness where only the most heinous pirates, monsters erased from history, were imprisoned.

Among them were even legendary figures!

Normally, almost no one ever came here.

Yet today, the top brass of the Marine had arrived.

"No way… That's Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"

"And the current three Marine Admirals! Oh, and that old geezer Garp too…"

"Almost the entire Marine leadership is here. No—even Tsuru is present. Why would the entire Marine leadership suddenly descend upon the sixth level?"

"Possibly. But why is there a little kid here? Huh? Is that a Lunarian? There are still surviving members of the Lunarian Tribe?"

"Just who is that child? Why does it feel like Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the three Admirals, Magellan… everyone is surrounding him?"

The sight of Sengoku's group immediately stirred up murmurs among the prisoners of this level.

At the same time, they were puzzled by the young man who bore a striking resemblance to a Lunarian.

"The more I look, the more he resembles Akainu…"

"Not just resembles—it is him! I fought Akainu twenty years ago, and that's definitely his face!"

"What the hell is going on? Is this his younger brother?"

"More importantly, who is that kid? Why is the entire Marine leadership gathered around him? Is he a Celestial Dragon?"

As they watched Leon being surrounded by Sengoku, Garp, and the three Admirals, the prisoners were utterly shocked.

Though, if he were a Celestial Dragon, Garp wouldn't be acting like this, would he?

Under the bewildered gazes of all the prisoners, Magellan led Sengoku and the others deeper into the prison.

"Hmm?"

"Sengoku…"

From within the dark cells, a towering man with wild golden hair and ghostly sharp eyes turned his gaze toward them.

Not far from him, in another isolated cell, a man dressed like a stereotypical vampire also looked over.

"Sengoku, Garp and the current three Admirals…" Bullet sneered, his eyes sharp as blades.

Watching as Sengoku's group stopped in front of his cell, he chuckled lazily.

"Long time no see, Sengoku, Garp. What, here to visit an old friend today?"

"Heh…" Not far away, Redfield coldly observed the scene.

Sengoku smiled faintly. "Bullet, we're here for a reason. Hope you'll cooperate."

Akainu snorted coldly, his eyes equally icy.

In Akainu's view, these men before him—though once mighty figures of the old era—were ultimately nothing more than prisoners.

These criminals who should have been executed long ago!

"Kehkehkeh…" Hearing Akainu's snort, Bullet face twisted in disdain as he glanced sideways at him.

"You—!" Akainu eyes narrowed slightly, a murderous glint flashing within them.

However, Bullet showed no trace of fear, instead fixing Akainu with a cold sneer.

Sparks seemed to fly between their gazes.

"Enough, Sakazuki. Let me handle this," Sengoku intervened.

Though reluctant, Akainu had no choice but to step back at Sengoku's words.

Sengoku turned his attention to Bullett.

"Bullett, we'd like to take a blood sample from you. We hope you'll cooperate." With that, Sengoku glanced at Redfield.

"You too, Redfield. Your cooperation would be appreciated."

Both Bullett and Redfield were taken aback.

No matter how they speculated, they never expected such a request.

"And if I refuse?" Bullett frowned before flashing a ferocious grin.

"Hahaha, I'm not inclined to cooperate either!" Redfield shook his head as well.

The Marine's intentions were unclear.

As enemies—especially ones who had imprisoned them for so long—why should they comply with their demands?

Moreover, what if this was some underhanded scheme?

Though shackled, their restraints only prevented them from using their Devil Fruit abilities.

Their formidable physical combat skills remained intact.

Under normal circumstances, they could still protect themselves.

"If you won't cooperate, don't blame us for taking it by force!" Akainu's expression darkened as he immediately looked toward Magellan.

Understanding the cue, Magellan unlocked the cell door.

"Hmph! Let's see if you even have the right to refuse!" Akainu stepped forward aggressively, ready to draw blood.

"Tch—" Bullett's face twisted with fury.

As a legendary powerhouse who had long made his name, when had he ever been subjected to such "treatment"?

Instantly, his eyes turned icy as an overwhelming, terrifying aura erupted like a tidal wave, sweeping through the space!

The sheer aura made Sengoku and the others wary.

Even Akainu couldn't help but retreat two steps, Bullett had unleashed his Conqueror's Haki!

Sengoku's gaze turned cold as he snorted.

His own Conqueror's Haki surged forth.

"BOOM!"

The two forces of Conqueror's Haki collided violently, creating lightning-like fissures in the air.

The residual shockwaves of the immense Haki rippled outward in all directions.

In an instant, nearly all the prisoners trembled, their eyes rolling back before they collapsed, foaming at the mouth.

"BOOM—"

The clash between Sengoku and Bullett Conqueror's Haki continued.

Yet, Bullett's face was filled with disdain and mockery, his sneer widening.

In contrast, Sengoku's expression grew increasingly strained.

He had already pushed his Conqueror's Haki to its limits, but against a monstrous opponent like Bullett, Sengoku Haki was steadily losing ground.

It seemed he wouldn't hold out much longer...

The three Admirals' eyes turned cold, ready to intervene simultaneously and overpower Bullett.

No matter how strong he was, facing three Admirals at once would spell defeat!

But then...

"Sakai! Use your Conqueror's Haki!" a childish voice suddenly rang out.

"Yes!"

With a deep acknowledgment, an overwhelmingly terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted!

Like a raging tsunami, it surged forth, transforming into a colossal force that crashed directly toward Bullett!

Bullett shuddered violently in an instant, his expression drastically changing!
