Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully used the Fusion Card on Armament Haki. Armament Haki has now been granted the property of fusing with all things.
The System’s ethereal notification rang out once again.
Lucas instantly sensed a world-shaking transformation within his Armament Haki.
Previously, if Lucas had attempted to cover his Thousand-Armed Guanyin or Hundred-Type Guanyin with Armament Haki, the two forces would have violently clashed with each other and ultimately failed to merge.
But now, after activating the Fusion Card and granting his Armament Haki the property of fusion, Lucas only needed a thought to perfectly combine the two.
There was no longer any need to worry about incompatibility.
His defense, which had originally been one of his weaker points, could also be significantly enhanced through his fused Armament Haki.
At the same time, if he layered Armament Haki over his Conqueror’s Haki shockwave...
The power of his Conqueror’s Haki would probably increase explosively.
"Brat, it seems your Conqueror’s Haki isn’t anything special after all. It’s still far inferior to Rocks."
Patrick Redfield’s aged voice rang out again.
However, his murky old eyes were already filled with shock.
Although he spoke arrogantly, the fact remained that Lucas had single-handedly used his Conqueror’s Haki to completely suppress two powerhouses from the previous era.
It had completely overturned Redfield’s understanding.
If he hadn’t barely managed to withstand Lucas’s advance, he probably wouldn’t even have had the opportunity to continue playing the part of a mere "armchair expert."
Of course, if Redfield knew that Lucas also possessed a technique that could transform Haki into a beast, he probably wouldn’t even have the chance to speak right now.
"Brat, weren’t you acting pretty smug just now?"
Bullet spat out a mouthful of blood with disdain.
"Let me see how you’re going to suppress me with your Haki."
With that old monster Redfield helping him, this method of reclaiming his dignity might not be particularly honorable, but Bullet was still unwilling to let the matter go.
"Then I’ll get a little more serious."
Lucas smiled faintly and took a swig of liquor.
Bullet and Redfield’s expressions immediately froze.
They looked at Lucas in disbelief.
The sight before them made their eyes widen.
"That is Armament Haki!"
"You’re planning to cover your Conqueror’s Haki with Armament Haki?"
BOOM!
A violent surge of Conqueror’s Haki erupted from Lucas’s body once again.
Compared to the previous moment, it was several times more powerful.
At the same time, pitch-black Armament Haki, resembling liquid lightning, instantly spread over the shockwave formed by his Conqueror’s Haki.
In an instant, the two forms of Haki fused together.
The resulting colossal shockwave crashed forward like an enraged tidal wave, slamming directly into the stalemate.
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion suddenly reverberated through the Sixth Level.
An explosive shockwave like a hurricane instantly swept across the entire level.
Everything in its path was smashed apart as easily as paper.
Even the cells imprisoning Redfield and Bullet offered no resistance whatsoever.
Under expressions of utter shock and disbelief, the two were struck head-on by the Conqueror’s Haki covered in Armament Haki.
BANG!
The entirety of Impel Down began to shake violently.
It was like an earthquake caused by a giant turning over in its sleep.
The enormous impact even stirred up raging waves in the sea surrounding the prison.
Every Marine soldier and guard stationed inside Impel Down was instantly alerted.
The alarm announcing an enemy attack rang out into the heavens.
In the eight hundred years since Impel Down had been established, that alarm had only sounded once before—when Golden Lion Shiki escaped.
Now, after decades of silence, it had sounded once again.
In an instant, the entire Impel Down began operating like a massive machine.
One emergency distress signal after another was immediately transmitted.
After what had happened with Shiki, Impel Down had become like a frightened bird at the slightest disturbance.
Regardless of what happened, requesting reinforcements immediately was the safest course of action.
After all, only half an hour ago, the Marines’ newly appointed Admiral, Admiral Glutton Lucas, had delivered two major prisoners connected to the Four Emperors to the Sixth Level.
What if the two Four Emperors came together?
For the supposedly impregnable Impel Down, that would undoubtedly be a catastrophe.
BOOM!
Inside the Sixth Level, the residual shockwaves continued to spread.
Billowing dust filled the air.
Everyone stared at the scene in complete disbelief.
The entire Sixth Level within their field of vision had been reduced to ruins.
Many people wondered whether they were dreaming.
In the outside world, the Sixth Level of Impel Down was regarded as a place that absolutely could not be breached.
Yet now, not only had it been destroyed in an instant...
The person responsible was a Marine Admiral!
If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, they absolutely wouldn’t have believed it was real.
What was even more shocking was the sight of the prisoners.
Those vicious criminals who had been struck by the Conqueror’s Haki shockwave had been slammed into the walls one after another, vomiting blood before losing consciousness.
Were these really the vicious monsters everyone talked about?
Compared with Lucas, who was desperately trying to get off work, they were clearly on an entirely different level.
As for Redfield and Bullet, who had joined forces moments ago, they were even worse.
Their eyes had rolled back as they remained embedded in the walls, completely unconscious.
If they had known from the beginning that this would be their fate, they probably never would have dared challenge the dignity of an Admiral who was rushing to get off work.
Of course, no one had expected that Lucas could produce so many variations from something as simple as Conqueror’s Haki.
"Ahem."
Looking at the ruined cells, Lucas felt a little embarrassed.
"Warden Magellan, sorry about this. I accidentally used a little too much force and destroyed most of your Sixth Level. You don’t mind, do you?"
"However, it’s already past my quitting time. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to get off work first."
Hearing the polite tone in the first half of Lucas’s statement, Magellan had been preparing to exchange a few polite words with him.
He hadn’t expected Lucas to be so straightforward about leaving.
The only thing Magellan could be thankful for was that every prisoner present had been knocked unconscious and subdued.
At least there wouldn’t be any prison riot.
That could be considered A blessing in disguise .
With things having reached this point, Magellan could only smile helplessly.
"Admiral Lucas, you’re too kind. Thank you for suppressing the prisoners this time. We certainly got an eye-opening demonstration."
"I think they’ll be completely obedient for quite some time after this."
"As for Bullet, that fellow probably won’t show off his Conqueror’s Haki again from now on. We’ll take care of everything else."
"Hahaha! Magellan, you’re absolutely right!"
Garp stuffed another handful of rice crackers into his mouth and chewed noisily.
"And there’s Redfield too. That fellow was always saying that Marine Headquarters had no talented people."
"This time, he even lost the last shred of dignity on that old face of his."
"When I return to Marine Headquarters, I’ll definitely tell Sengoku all about it."
Garp laughed heartily as he continued munching on his rice crackers.
"However, we caused quite a commotion just now. The alarm even went off."
"I’m afraid this didn’t just alert Impel Down. The World Government and Marine Headquarters must have been alerted too."
"Do you need to go explain things to them first?"
Magellan suddenly came to his senses.
Only now did he realize just how serious the situation was.
It seemed that perhaps he shouldn’t have been so quick to accept responsibility for everything...
