I, Sakaski, Won't Take a Dog Easily.

"As expected...Did the golden lion escape?" Sora's tone was a bit regretful. It would be even more difficult to catch this legendary pirate now, and I don't know how much effort and money it would take for the navy to spend. material resources.

"You immediately form an investigation team and go to the location of the incident - Impelton, the deep-sea prison, to find out how he escaped!"

"Order!"

"Ah la la, received"

"Hmm~ hey"

The largest prison in the world, Impel down.This deep-sea prison-propulsion city is located in the windless belt in the first half of the great shipping route. It forms a triangular relationship with Marin Vando and the Judiciary Island (ENIES LOBBY) where the naval headquarters is located.

There is a huge eddy current between the three, and the huge gate called "Gate of Justice" is opened and closed to allow the current to flow in to enter it smoothly.As a detention center for felons who endanger society, the security measures here are extremely tight.

There are more than ten warships stationed on the outskirts of the prison all year round, guarding the outer walls of the fort.There is only a large suspension bridge connecting the inner fort and the outer wall. Once the suspension bridge is closed, this deep-sea prison will be a dead city.

Internally, it is managed in layers according to the strength of the criminals and the crimes.Corresponding jailers, jailer beasts and even ferocious beasts that are not known to ordinary people are installed layer by layer.

In addition to the guards of the prison guards on each floor, there are also multi-directional videophone monitoring.

In the eyes of the world, this giant prison is as daunting as the hell recorded in Ukiyo-e.A fleet of top-level warships and several light patrol and reconnaissance ships arrived at this hell on earth at this moment.

Impelton, who had already heard the news of the fleet's arrival, arranged for the personnel in charge to stand in front of the gate of the outer wall and wait quietly.

After the sampan was laid, the three lieutenant generals of similar height walked down quickly with expressionless faces.

The deputy director Magellan, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted the three members of the serious crime team dispatched by the headquarters: "I am very sorry, this time Impelton's dereliction of duty cannot be excused. All members of the Deep Sea Prison will do their best to cooperate with the investigation."

As the deputy director of the prison, Magellan kept his posture very low. The escape of the golden lion made the conscientious Magellan feel self-blame.

The head lieutenant general wore a navy cap, and the shadow under the brim covered most of his face.Sakaski said indifferently: "The reason and accountability for this matter are later matters, Deputy Director Magellan, please answer me now, where is your warden? In the case of such a big accident , in the face of the investigation team of the headquarters, he planned to hide like this? Didn't he even plan to meet us?"

According to the regulations, the person in charge of the prison should accompany the person in charge of the prison as soon as possible when a major accident or an arraignment of an important prisoner occurs.

And this time, after the flying pirate Golden Lion Shiki escaped from prison, the top commander of Impelton only sent a deputy to send the investigation of the headquarters?

With such a bad attitude, it is no wonder that Sakaski was directly held accountable, and even Kuzan and Polsalino by his side were quite unhappy.Because of something wrong with Pelton, you let the criminals that the Navy worked so hard to catch escape. In this case, the top commander still maintains his identity and avoids seeing it!! Is it really shameful to be the Navy Headquarters?

"You misunderstood, the warden is on the phone with the Five Old Stars at the moment," Magellan replied humbly.

"Five Old Stars?" Polsalino repeated softly. As the highest officials of the World Government, the Five Old Stars naturally have a higher priority than them.

But this also means that this incident is highly valued by the high-level, and the warden who was called directly by the Five Old Stars must not hear anything good.

Sakaski took a step forward: "In that case, let Deputy Director Magellan take us directly to the Golden Lion's cell."

There is no cumbersome politeness like the bureaucrats of the world government, and the other party's words reflect simplicity and efficiency. Magellan does not think that he can do things in a real way, and he will always be more pleasing than relying on a quick mouth.

"Yes, please come with me"

Level 6 Infernal Hell, the criminals in the prison are monster-level characters who are too vicious and erased from history. The prisoners on this level are all very strong guys, and they will end up being executed or imprisoned for life. Because the prisoners on this level have done a lot of evil, they have made some extravagant actions. A brutal incident, so this sixth floor is almost unknown to outsiders.

The group passed the videophone bugs that were densely distributed along the way, and the guards were heavily guarded at five steps and one post.Taking the direct elevator, as the number of floors slowly descended, Kuzan began to learn about the specific situation from Magellan: "So, how did the golden lion Shiki escape, with the surveillance and patrols I just saw. Density, it's hard to believe that you would not have noticed the escape of Golden Lion Shiki for the first time."

"So, is there an inner ghost to help? This is really scary!" Polsalino's tone was strange, but the guesses he said were particularly cruel.

46. ​​Detective Sakaski begins to reason

Impelton Level 6 - Infernal Hell, these special prisoners are divided into "single rooms" and "passages" according to their threat level.As one of the three legendary pirates, Shiki the Golden Lion, Impelton naturally arranged a separate cell for him.

The fence made of high-quality steel and fine iron is like being torn from the inside out by some beast, revealing a ferocious big hole.The steel on the outside was bent into an arc, and the iron bars near the entrance of the cave were broken, twisting and staggering toward the elevator.

Sakaski and the others walked out of the elevator. As far as their eyes could see, the big hole that contrasted sharply with the surrounding cells was like a giant beast showing its fangs to everyone, demonstrating silently.The empty cell was nothing but a large pool of half-coagulated blood and a pair of stump legs that had been amputated below the knee.

"Wan...I'm so sorry, Deputy Director! I couldn't stop Shiki." The voice came from a guard with a distinctive appearance. He wore the headdress of the Egyptian Pharaoh, and his belly was bulging like a demon.

"Who is this?" Porusalino pointed at the strange man in the captain's costume.

Sakaski recognized the man who looked like a ghost, Hannibal, at a glance. In the face of the prison escape group composed of Supernova and the original Shichibukai, he still defended the upper channel node even though he knew he was lost.

Magellan put his palms together and pointed to Hannibal to introduce to the three lieutenant generals: "He is the current keeper of Impelton Prison Hannibal, and at the same time, he is also the first to witness the process of the escape of the golden lion Skir. ."

"Oh?"

"You see how he escaped?"

Deputy Director Magellan's explanation made the three lieutenant generals turn their attention to this side.

"...No...I didn't see what happened at the beginning." Hannibal waved his hands in a panic.

Sakaski walked to the outside of the broken prison and carefully looked at the crooked iron bars, he didn't look back: "From how you found out that Skir escaped from prison, Hannibal, I want you to recall carefully, what happened at that time. everything!"

Hannibal lightly touched the devilish horns on his forehead: "Today is the designated feeding day in the prison. As usual, I will come down to check the records of cold food for the prisoners on the sixth floor."

Kuzan turned his head to look at Magellan, and saw that the other party nodded slightly to show that Hannibal was not lying.

"But when the elevator just reached the sixth floor, I heard a loud noise inside, accompanied by the harsh noise of steel breaking."

"That is to say, the golden lion Shiji had already broken free from the shackles of Hailou stone and destroyed the cell?" Sakasky turned his attention to the stump in the pool of blood.

Hannibal nodded constantly: "Yes, I immediately rushed into the Infernal Hell to find out what happened? Then I found that the cell where the lion Shikey was imprisoned opened a big hole from the inside out! And Shikey disappeared. . . ."

"Wait~ Magellan said that you were the first to witness the escape of the golden lion." Porusalino keenly seized the loopholes in the other party's words. If he did not find Shi Kee himself, then how would Magellan claim that Hannibal saw it with his own eyes? It's time for the Golden Lion to escape?

"Then... I saw him..."

"?"

"where is it?"
