The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 536 Infiltration

Back to one day ago, Luffy officially sent a rescue request to Ciel.

Ciel mercilessly opened the tearful Nami's fingers, snatched the box containing the money and set off.

The location of Impel City is not a secret. Xia Qi has an eternal pointer pointing there.

This time, Charles didn't even take Stella with him, and flew directly to the Impel Down City in Chongming.

Impel City is a tower-like building with a total of seven floors, six of which are under the sea. It is the main prison area.

The ground floor is where the navy is stationed and various systems are located.

Looking down from a high place, the building on the ground floor looks like a fortress, with navy warships docked around the fortress.

Who built Impel Down is an unsolved mystery, but it is most likely a legacy of the huge kingdom eight hundred years ago, which the World Government later took control of and used as a prison.

It's not that Ciel looks down on the World Government, it's that they don't have the technical ability to build such a marvelous building.

It's not that the World Government doesn't have such strength, but that the technologies that the World Government is interested in are all related to weapons.

Vegapunk has created so much black technology on Egghead Island, and any use of it can change the level of civilization in the world. But in the end, the only ones used were pacifists, Seraphs, and the unidentified Virgin Flame.

It's obviously impossible that they would build such a building just to house criminals.

But Impel Down City is indeed very suitable as a prison. It has imprisoned so many pirates who once roamed the sea. In recorded history, only the ruthless Golden Lion has escaped, and no one has ever invaded from the outside.

Ciel did have the confidence to storm the Impel Down City, but it would be troublesome to fight all the way from the entrance on the first floor to the sixth level of infinite hell, rescue Ace and then fight back up.

The most important thing is that accidents are likely to occur. God knows if there are any mechanisms in the city that are not shown in the original plot.

So this time Ciel is going to have a perfect infiltration! Of course not the kind that kills everyone who sees him.

And to sneak in, of course you have to do it from a place where the enemy doesn't expect it.

So Ciel opened his arms on Chongming's back, jumped down with a leap of faith, and plunged directly into the sea water.

That's right, Impel Down City has not only the main entrance, but also other ways to enter.

Even if it was possible to create a sea current from Justice Island or Navy Headquarters to Impel Down City through the Gate of Justice, sailing in the windless zone was still quite dangerous before Vegapunk invented the sea-building stone ship.

Therefore, of course, Impel City cannot rely entirely on the outside world for its supplies, so Impel City has been going to the sea to hunt sea beasts and even sea kings for food.

There is a channel in the sea for the hunting prisoners to enter and exit.

On the one hand, that channel is strictly supervised, and only internal agencies can control its opening.

On the other hand, the entrance is in the sea, and there are a large number of Neptune species lingering nearby.

Except for the special creature called Brugli in the city, no one can come and go freely here.

Ciel put on a metal mask, a magic tool that could filter out oxygen from the water like fish gills.

The low temperature, high pressure and darkness in the sea water cannot affect Ciel's actions. Charr quickly entered the deep sea like a fish.

Like a shark, Ciel caught the smell of blood that still existed after filtering the sea water, so he chased after it.

Ignoring the scene of a sea king predator, Ciel finally found his target.

They were a group of creatures that were light on top and dark on the bottom, all blue. Their lower bodies were furry, but their upper bodies, including their heads, were bare. There was only a skull on their face.     That is Impel Down's unique prisoner, Brugli, who is known as the sea fighter.

These seemingly cute creatures hold huge axes in their hands and ferociously slaughter the surrounding sea beasts.

Although their body size is only similar to that of an ordinary brown bear, these prisoners of Impel Down City can kill sea beasts that are more than ten meters or even dozens of meters in length.

After a fight, they took away their loot. They even left bits of meat behind to lure new sea beasts as their next prey. It seems these guys are not irrational beasts.

Ciel was extra cautious and followed these Brugli quietly. After seeing the corpse of a sea beast that Brugli was carrying, Charles had an idea. He approached it directly and stuck it into the gaps between the layers of carapace.

The Brugli didn't notice the extra weight in its hand at all, and just led Ciel through the entrance under the sea of ​​Impel City.

Everything went smoothly. After leaving the sea water and moving a certain distance, Ciel sensed that there were only three breaths from the outside world left.

A chef responsible for the dismantling felt that his eyes were blurry, but when he looked carefully, he saw nothing. When he thought he was dazzled, Charles had already left here.

In this way, the first stage of perfect infiltration was successfully completed.

After leaving the kitchen and walking into a corridor, Ciel saw a special creature entrenched on the ceiling before he had gone far.

It was a special phone bug that could transmit images within sight to other places, so it was used as an imaging device on the sea.

As a prison, surveillance equipment is naturally necessary. A large number of surveillance phone bugs have been installed inside Impel Down City to ensure that no disturbance will be missed.

The surveillance phone bug seemed to have discovered Ciel and was about to turn its attention.

"Magic Realm·Dragon Nest!"

All the majesty of the dragon falls on the phone bug, conveying only one meaning, that is, don't be ignorant of good and evil!

Compared with machines, as biological surveillance bugs, they have their own consciousness, and even if they are not highly intelligent, they still have the most basic survival instinct.

So it wisely turned its head and looked in the other direction, leaving an obvious blind spot for Charles to monitor.

Ciel nodded with satisfaction, and then swaggered through this corridor to the central area.

After entering Impel Down City, Charles felt the high temperature here. The lava and blood pool in front of him only confirmed his guess.

Sure enough, this is the fourth underground level of extremely hot hell in Impel Down City, which means that Ciel is very close to the target.

This is also where Warden Magellan's office is located, but he is probably fighting diarrhea in the toilet and doesn't need to worry about it for the time being.

There are two passages from the extreme heat hell to the extreme cold hell on the next level. One is an elevator for employees, which can go directly to the sixth level of infinite hell.

But considering that no one in Impel Down was willing to give Ciel a lift, he could only take the unguarded passage.

Fortunately, the terrain of Impel Down City was not complicated, and Ciel quickly found the passage. With the "cooperation" of the surveillance phone bug, Charles came to the fifth level of extreme cold hell.

As the name suggests, this is a cold ice field, and the temperature is so low that even telephone bugs cannot survive here. But that's why this is an unmonitored area.

Ciel could even see that many of the cells built around them were filled with frozen corpses, which was worthy of the title of hell.

Before he could find the entrance to the sixth floor, Ciel first discovered a group of people in strange clothes fighting against the wolves, an army of ferocious creatures unique to this place.

They were obviously a group of men, but they were wearing women's vests and tights, and some even wore skirts and fishnet stockings. If Charles guessed correctly, those people should be the men of the Demon King Ivankov.
