Chapter 118 Pushing forward the city

The sea breeze gently caresses the sea surface, creating ripples.

The warship moved forward steadily on the calm sea.

The sunlight shines on the steel armor of the warship, reflecting a dazzling light.

After several days of sailing, the Gate of Justice finally appeared in everyone's sight.

It is like a door to another world, glorious and sacred.

Two gates reaching into the clouds stand on this vast ocean.

The water between the doors was unusually still, as if it was greeting the warship that was about to pass through.

The soldiers on the deck were silent, their eyes looking beyond the open door of justice.

Gazing at the huge building emerging from the sea level - Impel Down.

The fortress-like figure that was advancing became increasingly distinct against the slightly blurred skyline at sea.

The towering wall stands in the middle of the sea, like an indestructible symbol of protection, carrying the iron fist and majesty of the world government.

As the warship slowly approached, the outline of the city gradually became clear.

Impel Down is not only a place to imprison criminals, its existence itself is a maintenance of order and a protection of justice.

As the warship passed through the Gate of Justice and headed for the fortress, every sailor stood up straight.

Then, the heavy anchor was lowered as the ship slowly approached the shore, and the sound of it interweaving with the sea water gently broke the silence, accompanied by the sound of light splashes, marking the official arrival of the warship in Impel Down.

In the dim light, the shadow of Impel Down was vague, like a giant looming in the fog.

At the dock, a team of uniformed guards stood, their faces serious and determined.

Among the guard team, the captain was wearing the most eye-catching attire, with golden epaulettes flashing in the dim light, making him particularly conspicuous.

With his hands behind his back, he stood as straight as a pine tree, staring sharply at the slowly approaching warship.

On the warship, Jinan and his group began to become the focus.

At the dock, the guard's eyes were like a search light, sweeping over the warships one by one, finally stopping on Jin An.

The leader raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned forward slightly, and was very friendly to Jin An and the other new faces.

"Lieutenant General Jinan!"

"I am Magellan, the deputy director of Impel Down. I have received orders to receive the prisoner here."

"Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Magellan took a step forward, his expression changed from serious to solemn, and he saluted Jin An and the navy who were escorting the prisoners.

Jin An raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He didn't expect that Magellan was so calm at this time.

"I, I'm the deputy...chief of warden, Hannibal, welcome everyone."

The warden, who was holding a huge naginata in his hand, almost let the cat out of the bag and followed Magellan with a look of annoyance on his face.

Why did he express his ambition so clearly? I wonder if Magellan noticed it.

Jin An stood in front of the door, his figure elongated in the dim light, and next to him stood Barrett, who was tightly bound.

There was calmness in the other party's eyes, and he did not react at all even though he was about to enter the Impel Down City.

"I'm Jin An."

"Please wait here."

"The person behind me is the person we are escorting this time - Douglas Barrett."

Jinan also returned the greeting to the people opposite him.

When Douglas Barrett was introduced, Magellan looked over with shock in his eyes.

Although they were in this isolated Impel Down town, they had heard of Barrett's name.

The navy said directly that they would send a very dangerous criminal to advance into the city, but I didn't expect that he would be such a heavyweight and ruthless character.

"Marshal Kong has already told us."

"These are things we should do. It's not a big deal."

The words fell.

Magellan nodded. Although this action was simple, it contained recognition of Jinan's mission completion.

"Well, it's Douglas Barrett."

"Detain him on the sixth floor."

Magellan glanced calmly at the man handcuffed with seastone and confirmed the identity of the prisoner.

Then, he turned around, took the lead, and with his posture as straight as a pine tree, began to lead Jin'an and his party deeper into the city.

As they approached, the gate of Push City slowly opened with a heavy and low sound, like a monster that wanted to devour everything opening its bloody mouth.

Jinan and his group followed closely behind Magellan, and the huge circular enclosed door in the center of the hall slowly opened.

As they entered the gate, the door behind them creaked shut.

Behind the door was a long corridor with dim and solemn lighting, and towering walls on both sides. From time to time, the faint sound of dripping water could be heard, making this cold passage even more eerie and depressing.

After walking through the corridor, they came to a spacious hall, which was the central area of ​​the Impel Down City.

A huge chandelier hung from the high ceiling, illuminating the stone floor below with a faint glow.

In the middle of the hall, several guards were talking. When they noticed Magellan and his companions' arrival, they immediately stopped talking and walked over here.

Magellan gave them a brief account of the situation.

Then a guard came forward, checked what Barrett was carrying, and nodded to Magellan.

To enter the Advance City, you need to verify your identity and check for dangerous items that the other party is carrying.

Before officially entering the area where prisoners are held, there is a series of tasks to be completed.

"Next is the important area where prisoners are held."

"Lieutenant General Jin An, only three of you can enter that area."

"This has always been the rule in Impel Down..."

"I wonder how you are going to arrange it?"

After Magellan registered Barrett's imprisonment information, he looked at the team of navy in front of him.

"Just Tian Yueshi and I will go in."

There are such rules here, and Jinan will naturally abide by them.

There are many secrets inside Impel Down, and it is indeed not suitable to let many people in.

Whatever happens, Magellan and his colleagues need to take corresponding responsibilities.

"Ok."

"Then follow me, I will lead the way for you."

Magellan had no objection and led his group forward.

Didn't go long.

They came to a huge iron gate.

"This is the first floor of the sea in Impel Down."

Magellan walked in front and introduced Jinan and Tianyueshi.

"There are no prisoners on this floor. There is an iron bar behind the main door, and behind it is the place where criminals are "baptized" and tortured before they go to prison."

The so-called baptism is to throw the prisoners into 100-degree water for sterilization and disinfection.

At Magellan's signal, the jailers escorted Barrett and took him through the remaining steps of imprisonment.

Magellan took Jinan and the others into a special area.

“There are also offices and rooms where officials or special people can check their belongings before entering the prison.”

Jinan and the others also need to be checked.

You can continue passing only after the inspection.
