One Piece: Shadow monarch? I'm Just Logistics!

Chapter 182: A Fifty Percent Probability

Impel Down, Underground Level 4, the Blazing Hell.

The entire level was like a giant iron pot. Below was a boiling pool of blood and a sea of fire, and above were crisscrossing stone bridges.

The laboring prisoners carried heavy loads, their bare feet stepping on the red-hot ground. Sizzling sounds and white smoke rose from their torn and bleeding soles.

Unlike usual, the jailers who were supposed to be whipping the prisoners were now fully armed and waiting in formation at the stairwell.

One by one, they held their breath and gripped their firearms tightly, as if disaster were about to strike.

"It seems something interesting is happening," Daz Bonez murmured under his breath, a giant pillar on his shoulder.

Suddenly, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but look up.

The ceiling between the fourth and third levels was hollow. The scorching steam from below continuously rose up, creating the desert-like environment of the Starvation Hell.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"We're going to fall into the sea of fire!!"

"What kind of idiot route is this!!"

Before his shocked eyes, several piercing screams came from the sky, and more than a dozen black dots fell from above!

"That's!"

As the black dots got closer, Daz Bonez gradually made out their figures and was instantly stunned.

Green hair, three swords, eyes as fierce as a wild beast...

"Roronoa?! And Straw Hat!"

Bang!!

Reiner fell at high speed, his feet landing heavily on the bridge. The ground instantly cracked and spread.

The falcon flapped its wings and landed steadily. Chopper and Usopp's legs gave out, and they collapsed on top of it.

"Mil Fleur!"

Click.

Robin crossed her arms, and countless arms sprouted from her back, forming wings that allowed her to glide to a landing.

"Room, Shambles!"

A transparent circle expanded from Law as the center, instantly enveloping a fifty-meter radius. Several who hadn't managed to land on the ground instantly swapped places with prisoners on the bridge!

The scene before his eyes changed, and Daz Bonez was instantly shocked!

You bastards!!

Finding himself inexplicably in mid-air, looking at the sea of fire below, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Suddenly, an arm grabbed the giant pillar he was carrying and pulled him up with a strong tug.

"Yo, isn't that some kind of assassin?"

Daz Bonez fell to the ground and looked up at the person who had spoken in a frivolous tone.

A corner of Zoro's mouth lifted. He looked at him with great interest and mocked, "What, you've switched to manual labor now?"

"Stop dawdling, Moss-head! Magellan is catching up! We're going straight to the fifth level!"

Sanji shouted at them as soon as he landed. "Chopper! Usopp! Robin-chan! Leave the antidote to you! Perona-sama will take you there!"

"Roger!"

"I understand!"

"Follow me!"

Perona's spirit body flew towards a room at the edge of the fourth level. Chopper, Usopp, and Robin followed closely behind.

When she first attacked the central control room, Perona had already explored this level. The warehouse, kitchen, warden's office, and other functional buildings were all here.

Unfortunately, although she couldn't be attacked in her spirit state, she also couldn't touch anything. She could only bring people here to get the antidote.

After arranging the task of finding the antidote, Sanji turned his head and shouted a reminder, "I'm leaving this place to you, Reiner! If anything happens to Robin-chan, I'll never forgive you!"

"Yeah, yeah, hurry up," Reiner waved his hand impatiently.

Soon, except for the four who had slipped away to a room at the edge of the fourth level to find the antidote...

...Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and the group of Supernovas pushed forward with great momentum, rushing towards the fifth level.

Wherever they passed, there were wails. A large number of jailers were easily crushed by them, and even the prisoners they passed had to take a few slaps.

The bridges standing over the boiling sea of fire crisscrossed. Reiner stood on a bridge, with the only Supernova who had stayed behind beside him.

"Hawkins, why did you suddenly decide to stay behind?" He couldn't help but glance at the other.

Just now on the third level, the group had discovered Magellan chasing them from a distance.

Reiner had decided to intercept him on the fourth level to protect the group searching for the antidote, but he didn't expect Hawkins to volunteer to stay behind and help.

Although his ability could give him a few extra lives, against Magellan, it was just a matter of spending a little more time.

"It's not that I'm confident I can stop Magellan."

Hawkins didn't look at him, but just spoke faintly, "Before the operation, I did a divination. Following you has the highest probability of survival. Seeking fortune and avoiding misfortune, that's all."

"If you really want to seek fortune and avoid misfortune, wouldn't it be better not to come to Impel Down?" Reiner leaned against the bridge railing and said with a playful smile.

Hawkins was silent for a moment before slowly turning his head to look at him. "Perhaps it was a moment of impulse. There are always some things that you want to do, even knowing the outcome cannot be changed."

"Let me make it clear first, I don't believe in this kind of thing. But I'll ask anyway, did you do a divination on our operation?"

Reiner's gaze became grave as he looked up at the person falling rapidly from the sky. He said in a low voice, "What is the probability of Ace being rescued?"

"Fifty percent."

Hawkins's flat voice fell. Strands of straw began to extend from his collar and cuffs, slowly covering his body.

"Warabide no Sō!" (Strawman's Card)

Bang!!

Suddenly, a massive figure falling from the sky smashed down before them like a black meteor. The entire bridge groaned under the weight, and a large number of cracks spread out.

In the thick smoke, Magellan's silhouette emerged. His gloomy face, combined with the horns on his head, made him look like a demon slowly walking out.

"It should be zero percent. Welcome to hell, you ants."

A purple water ball slid down his arm to his palm. He raised his hand and fanned it at them, and a poison ball flew out!

Before Reiner could make a move, Hawkins, who had transformed into a scarecrow, advanced instead of retreating. The longsword in his hand began to twist into a brown sword-whip and lashed out.

Slap!

The poison ball exploded into two, and droplets of poison splashed onto his body. Ignoring the sizzling smoke coming from his body, he arrived in front of Magellan, his five claws, bound with black long nails, swiped down fiercely!

"Seeking your own death!" Magellan sucked in a breath, his cheeks puffing up, and blew a cloud of purple mist at him.

As a poison man who had eaten the Doku Doku no Mi, his body could release deadly poison. Even the air he exhaled could be filled with toxins.

The poisoned person would be tortured to death in endless pain. Engaging him in close combat was no different from suicide.

However, his Observation Haki suddenly warned him!

Faced with this permeating poison mist, Hawkins did not retreat in the slightest. He plunged headfirst into it, rushing straight to his front, and the straw sword in his hand slashed swiftly at his body!

"Wara-Bide Tō!" (Straw Hand Blade)

Swish!

Although it was made of straw, it was extremely sharp. It cut through his clothes and left a scarlet gash on his chest!

Wiping away the blood seeping from his chest, Magellan's face was expressionless. This level of injury had no effect on him.

But he couldn't help but be a little surprised by the opponent's actions.

What kind of fighting style is this? Choosing to trade lives right from the start?

Or is it that this group of people who attacked Impel Down don't even know about his abilities?

"Poison Dragon!"

A purple long dragon emerged from behind him, opened its ferocious maw, and instantly bit down on the opponent, pushing him away.

Bang!

The dragon's head, wrapped around the scarecrow demon, slammed heavily onto the ground. A large amount of venom splashed, and clumps of it dripped onto the bridge.

He got hit by that? Was he careless?

Reiner was a little surprised that Magellan had been cut. Although the injury didn't look serious...

...if it had been Akainu, Aokiji, or Kizaru, even the seemingly lazy Kizaru, they probably wouldn't have made such a mistake.

Hawkins's expression was grave as he struggled to stand up. The poison on his body was slowly being absorbed into the straw.

And a crack opened on his body. A straw doll squeezed out from it, and he said in a low voice:

"As expected of the man who guards the great underwater prison. Ten lives probably won't be enough."

With that, he dragged the straw-form sword and charged forward again.

"A strange ability."

Magellan took off the two horns on his head, and black Haki quickly imbued them.

Let's see if using Haki will work!

Clang! A horn and a blade clashed, sending out sparks. Before the stalemate could last a second, the other horn-blade slashed horizontally across Hawkins's chest, leaving a wound tainted with poison!

And at this moment, a figure as tall as Magellan abruptly appeared in front of him.

"Roar!!!"

The fanged, green-faced War Ogre let out a roar. It raised its great executioner's sword above its head, a whistling airflow wrapped around the blade, and it chopped down fiercely!

Clang!!

The twin horn-blades were quickly raised and crossed to parry. Magellan only felt a sudden immense force on his hands, and then his entire person was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

Bang!!

His back scraped along the ground, sending rubble flying, until his body crashed heavily against a wall!

"You rely too much on the power of your fruit, Magellan."

A playful smile appeared on Reiner's lips. Frieren, Sukuna, and the Gun Devil all surrounded him.

What fifty percent? Isn't this one hundred percent?

"Black Snake Reiner. It seems you're not a simple man."

Magellan's face was grim as he slowly stood up. The venom seeping from his body gradually turned from purple to red!

"I can't let you guys cause a ruckus like this any longer."

A large amount of red poison surged out, enveloping his body and condensing. At the same time, a hazy red mist began to permeate, quickly spreading to cover the entire space!
