Inside Impel Down.
Besides the corpses, only two people remained on the entire first level of Impel Down.
The air was thick with the heavy stench of blood.
Each heavy blow stirred up an invisible storm within this sturdy prison, as if even the earth were trembling.
Jin'an and Blackbeard's battle was as fierce as thunder, and the entire first level of the prison had already become devastated in their clash. The stones that constructed the cells were shattered into pieces under the impact of their powerful forces, flying in all directions.
On the battlefield, rubble and debris tumbled, making it seem as if one were in hell.
Blackbeard, without a doubt, was one of the most powerful pirates in this world, his strength sufficient to rank among the top powerhouses.
However, facing Jin'an, this newly promoted Marine Admiral, he gradually felt overwhelmed.
Jin'an's mastery of Conqueror's Haki infusion was already superb. The invisible Haki wrapped around his fist was like a sharp blade, tearing through Blackbeard's defenses layer by layer.
And Blackbeard's famed Dark-Dark Fruit was almost useless under Jin'an's storm-like offensive.
"Bang!!!"
With a loud bang, Jin'an's palm gripped Blackbeard's head like iron tongs, slamming it violently into the ground.
The ground instantly collapsed, and the shock spread out like ripples. The entire prison seemed to let out a painful groan under this blow.
Blackbeard's body was smashed into the ground, dust and rubble flying everywhere. His face was twisted and deformed from the intense pain, as if his entire face had been forcibly torn apart.
Jin'an stared coldly at Blackbeard, without a trace of pity.
Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit, which could amplify pain, had now become his own shackle.
Each punch Jin'an delivered not only brought physical trauma but also intense pain.
Blackbeard's body was already twisted under this heavy blow, and the soul-tearing pain brought him to the brink of collapse.
"Ugh, aaaaaah!"
Blackbeard roared, his voice shrill like the wail of a wild beast, filled with pain and despair.
The arrogance and disdain of the past had long disappeared from his face, replaced by extreme fear and anger.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from Jin'an's iron grip.
However, Jin'an didn't give him any chance to catch his breath.
Releasing his palm, he quickly grabbed Blackbeard's ankle and swung him violently.
Blackbeard's massive body was lifted like a rag doll, then drew an arc in the air, slamming heavily into the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three consecutive loud noises echoed as each impact caused huge cracks to appear in the ground.
Blackbeard's body was ruthlessly smashed into the ground like a kite with a broken string, the tremendous force causing the earth to break apart inch by inch.
Visibly, the ground beneath Blackbeard rapidly collapsed, forming a huge pit that deepened and widened in a short time, as if to smash through the entire prison.
Blackbeard spat out a large amount of blood, the bright red liquid splattering on the broken ground, a shocking sight.
His chest heaved violently, emitting rapid and heavy breaths.
Although his physique was much stronger than ordinary people, thick-skinned and fleshy, his head and back had suffered serious injuries under Jin'an's frantic attacks.
Blood gurgled from the corners of his mouth and wounds, making him look extremely wretched.
Blackbeard had never felt the threat of death so clearly. His eyes began to panic, and the fear in his heart surged uncontrollably.
His Dark-Dark Fruit had now become a joke. The powerful force that was once the bane of Devil Fruit users was useless under Jin'an's suppression.
Every minute and every second, Blackbeard could feel the loss of his life force. The feeling of powerlessness on the verge of death almost suffocated him.
However, Jin'an's eyes remained cold and ruthless.
Each punch, each attack, was precise and deadly, carrying an irresistible killing intent.
Blackbeard's miserable screams echoed in the ruins of the prison, as if opening the prelude to this cruel battle of death.
"Aaaaaaah! It hurts so much!!!"
Blackbeard's screams echoed throughout the prison, as if every sound squeezed from his throat was telling of pain and despair.
That shrill voice pierced the silence of Impel Down, and even the air seemed to tremble.
The ground followed with a low rumble, cracks spreading rapidly from where Blackbeard's body impacted, spreading like a spider web.
The entire prison let out a miserable groan, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Rumble!!!"
With a loud bang, Blackbeard's massive body finally seemed to lose its last resistance, crashing heavily to the ground, limbs limp and spread out, twitching like a dying fish.
His body was still shaking slightly, his eyes had completely lost focus, losing the arrogance and cunning of the past, replaced by a powerless numbness.
Blood flowed from his mouth and nose, forming a shocking pool of blood beneath him.
In the distance, Magellan struggled to open his eyes from his unconscious state, his blurred vision gradually clearing.
When he saw the scene before him, he was instantly stunned.
It was a scene he had never imagined—the incredibly powerful Blackbeard was now lying on the ground like a cripple, and Jin'an was standing beside him, his cold face as firm as if carved by a knife.
Magellan's jaw almost dropped to the ground, his mouth wide open, too shocked to speak.
At the entrance of Impel Down, as the roar stopped, some guards and Marines arrived after hearing the noise and quickly rushed into the first level of the prison.
Domino, who was leading the group, stopped abruptly when she saw the scene before her, her eyes widened like copper bells, almost unable to believe her eyes.
She pushed her glasses up, but the eyes behind the lenses still couldn't hide the shock and horror.
"This is… Admiral Jin'an's strength!?"
Her voice trembled slightly, her tone filled with uncontrollable admiration and awe.
Admiral Jin'an, relying solely on his own strength, destroyed the entire first level of Impel Down and defeated the notorious Blackbeard so thoroughly.
Domino looked at Blackbeard, who was beaten to the point of being half-dead, and her admiration was beyond words.
She knew in her heart that the Admiral in front of her was not an ordinary powerhouse. He not only possessed great power but also had an unshakable pressure and decisiveness.
At the same time, the Marines who arrived were also shocked by the scene before them.
They stood in the ruined prison ruins, looking around. Pirate corpses lay scattered on the ground, each corpse bearing unmistakable scars and bloodstains.
The air was filled with a heavy smell of blood, as if the afterglow of the fierce battle just now still remained.
"All of this… was done by Admiral Jin'an alone?"
A young Marine stared blankly at everything in front of him, muttering to himself, his voice filled with awe and disbelief.
His hands trembled slightly, and the scene before him seemed to exceed his understanding of battle.
"......"
The other Marines also fell silent.
They silently looked at the corpses and rubble, Blackbeard lying on the ground like a dead dog, all his former arrogance and wantonness turned to nothing.
At this moment, Blackbeard looked so weak and wretched, as if he were an ant under Jin'an's feet.
"With just one person… he ended the rebellion of nearly a thousand people."
A Marine said in a low voice, his tone full of awe.
Blackbeard was the culprit of this prison disaster, but now, his failure indicated that this catastrophe was about to come to an end.
And all of this was caused by Jin'an, who was standing there.
The entire first level of the prison was silent, with only broken echoes remaining, only Jin'an's tall figure standing tall.
His existence, like an unmoving mountain, gave people infinite strength and security.
In everyone's hearts, there was no longer fear and worry at this moment, replaced by endless respect and gratitude for Jin'an.
They knew that all of this today was because of the shot of the Marine Admiral in front of them that they were able to turn danger into safety.
Because of Jin'an... they were able to survive......
