The World Government representative arrived.
It was someone not seen in the original story, a beautiful girl with a stoic expression and white hair—a rare hair color in the world of One Piece.
Thinking back, only Nico Robin’s mother had white hair, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku’s hair was white because of his age.
Garp’s hair was silver due to his age as well.
Hals was curious about this girl, particularly because she was flat-chested.
Really flat.
In the world of pirates, attractive girls usually had ample “armor” in the front.
But this person made Hals question their gender.
However, he checked the person’s Adam’s apple.
None.
Just a flat chest.
Hals curiously looked at her front, finding her an oddity in the pirate world.
Ain was annoyed.
Whether it was her boyfriend or a male friend staring at another girl, especially so intently, it naturally made her angry.
“Negative emotion from Ain +10,000”
“Negative emotion from…”
This was the effect of strength-enhancing potions without side effects, specifically the Strength Elixir given by Hals.
The girl’s name was Eira.
“I feel like you’re thinking something very rude.”
“Negative emotion from Eira +5,000”
Average strength.
Eira looked at Hals.
Upon hearing his (emphasis on his) voice, Hals and Ain both had black lines appear on their foreheads, realizing something was off.
Even Hannibal noticed something was off.
Domino gave a questioning look.
Sadi-chan sensed something unusual.
Saldeath also realized something.
The Blugori noticed something wrong.
A guy.
Yes, a guy.
This person was a guy.
I should have guessed.
The black lines on Hals’ forehead disappeared, and he remained calm. This kind of thing didn’t bother him.
Who would have thought it was a cross-dressing master.
It was the first time Hals had seen a living cross-dresser.
And without an Adam’s apple.
Interesting.
Eira felt familiar with the looks she was getting.
Yes, this feeling was familiar.
Because she looked very much like a girl and her parents dressed her as one in childhood…
So…
She, no, he always appeared in this world in female attire.
But he was used to it.
The world of pirates had many strange characters—muscle men who didn’t train their legs, extremely tall people everywhere.
So, encountering a cross-dresser seemed normal.
Hals covered his face, remembering some weird things and a meme.
A: (sleazy) That cross-dresser…
A: (sleazy) Is actually a guy.
B: (excited) Isn’t that even better?
A: (in disbelief).
Eira seemed a bit annoyed.
“Negative emotion from Eira +6,000”
Okay, I understand.
“Ahem, let’s take a look at the updated Impel Down.”
Hals led the way, with the others following.
“First is Level One, the Crimson Hell. Here, we have many Blades Trees and Needle Grass. Guards and poisonous spiders constantly chase the prisoners, who are often cut by the leaves and grass, making them bleed and suffer.”
In the elevator, Hals explained to Eira.
Eira nodded expressionlessly.
“That was before. Now, the Blades Trees and Needle Grass are coated with Pain Elixir and some Paralysis Elixir.”
If too much Paralysis Elixir was used, the prisoners would become paralyzed and unable to move, defeating the purpose of the punishment.
Hals’ smile was a bit sinister.
Hals didn’t see himself as a kind-hearted person.
Even a kind-hearted person wouldn’t spare these prisoners.
And what happens when guards and poisonous spiders catch these prisoners?
Previously, they would kill them directly. Now, it’s less cruel; they just make them feel a fate worse than death.
In the Crimson Hell, there’s a huge pool of Pain Elixir. Prisoners are tied with a rope and thrown in, soaking for a minute before being pulled out.
If a prisoner dies, they’re thrown into the sea to feed the Sea Kings.
Or sent to Level Two, where many beasts await.
Level One has a special viewing platform, newly built by Hals for government officials to see how Impel Down operates.
Below the platform, prisoners run in pain, chased by guards and poisonous spiders. Cut by Blades Trees or Needle Grass, they suffer from the Pain Elixir, writhing in agony or…
Or they keep running. If they run for an hour, they’re returned.
But if they encounter Paralysis Elixir…
Pain can be endured, but paralysis is hard to bear. Without a strong body, they’ll be paralyzed and fall, picked up by the guards or spiders, and thrown into the pain pool.
Hals didn’t particularly like this scene; it was too bloody, and the smell of blood was strong. His enhanced sense of smell made it even worse.
However, Hals could purify the air with magic.
“Wind Magic: Purification Breeze.”
A breeze appeared, clearing the foul odor from the air.
This third-level wind magic creates a breeze that purifies the air.
Different from Air Purification, which only purifies part of the air, Purification Breeze is much more advanced.
Ain didn’t smell anything strange. Hals cleared the air for her sake.
Hannibal felt a bit uncomfortable.
Remember what Hannibal said when Hancock visited Impel Down?
“Next, enjoy the prisoners’ screams.”
Enjoy?
Confirmed pervert.
This guy probably enjoyed the smell of blood.
“Negative emotion from Hannibal +50,000.”
See.
A pervert indeed.
