Chapter 537: Fight! Sinners!

Crocodile has been released.

After walking out of the cell, he massaged his wrists, still a bit sore from being confined by Kairoseki. He turned to Ian and asked, “From what you just said, the war between the Whitebeard and the Navy is about to begin?”

When he saw Ian nod, Crocodile sneered, “Do you want to get involved? It seems my choice was quite wise. I just came out, and I’m already encountering something interesting! It looks like the chance to take old man’s head is here!”

Upon hearing Crocodile’s words, Jinbe was immediately displeased. He warned him, “You’re not allowed to harm the Whitebeard. Got it, Sand boy!”

“Heh! Jinbe!” Crocodile shrugged and grinned, “I don’t have control over that. Haven’t you seen that I’ve joined the Dragon Hunters Pirate Crew now? I believe this time, the name of this pirate crew will echo throughout the world. When Whitebeard dies, my captain might become the new Yonko. Isn’t that good? I’m tired of being a Warlord. I joined the Dragon Hunters Pirate Crew for this hope!”

Crocodile, the master of schemes, lived up to his reputation. As soon as he spoke, the prisoners present couldn’t help but feel a chill.

A new… new Yonko!?

It seems… there might be a possibility!

For a moment, the prisoners looked at Ian with fervent eyes!

Most of the prisoners were former pirates, and the title of the Yonko resonated with their aspirations. Now that Crocodile mentioned it, everyone immediately felt that they might have the chance to be under the command of the new Yonko!

Is there a more prestigious status than this!?

At first, everyone just wanted to break out with Ian. However, with Crocodile’s mention, they started to believe more and more in the possibility. One by one, they began to daydream!

With a thud, one prisoner actually half-knelt down, looking at Ian with fervent eyes and said, “Lord Ian, I swear to follow you to the death. Please accept me as your underling!”

Led by this prisoner, others also woke up to the situation and quickly knelt down one after another, saying to Ian, “Yes! Lord, please accept us!”

In this sixth-floor prison, a scene of bowing down to a master unexpectedly unfolded, catching Ian completely off guard.

Zoro stood on the side with his mouth wide open, looking at Ian in astonishment. Well, they were almost stepping from being a Warlord to becoming one of the Yonko. How did the gap keep widening!?

Sanji was quite unwilling, but he just snorted without saying anything. Chopper, Nami, and Usopp stared at Ian with admiration.

As for Law and Urouge, they exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes.

Under one of the Yonko? This status seemed not bad at all…

Ian looked at the prisoners kneeling all over the place, feeling a headache steering up. He couldn’t help but glare at Crocodile. Wasn’t this trouble caused by him? He hadn’t even figured out how to handle these prisoners yet…

“Get up, everyone!” He could only say with a cold face, “Talking about this now is still far-fetched. Whitebeard is a good man, and I won’t take his position!”

Jinbe nodded directly upon hearing this, increasing his approval of Ian. However, the prisoners felt a bit disappointed.

But at this moment, Law suddenly interrupted, “Without Whitebeard’s position, there are others, like Kaido of the Hundred Beasts? Captain, I believe you will become one of the Yonko sooner or later!”

As soon as this was said, the prisoners’ eyes lit up again. Right! There are four Emperors, even if Captain Ian doesn’t want to take Whitebeard’s position, aren’t there other Yonko positions available?

Moreover… if Captain Ian can rescue Whitebeard’s crew from the Marines, wouldn’t that mean two Emperors joining forces in the future!?

Damn! Invincible in the world!

The prisoners became even more excited in an instant. Each of them made up their minds that they must follow this new leader well! Whether they could live a good life or not would depend on this!

Ian gave Law a disdainful look. This guy actually joined in the chaos. Although he understood that Law wanted to resolve the Doflamingo matter quickly by following him, planning for a Yonko’s position was not that easy!

“Alright, alright, let’s talk about it when we get out!” Ian waved his hand and said, “Now that everyone is rescued, let’s get ready to leave!”

“Ohh!!” Upon hearing Ian’s words, the prisoners cheered in unison, their spirits greatly lifted.

Seeing this scene in the corner, Cabaji and Alvida asked quietly, “Captain Buggy, should we also join the Hunting Dragon Pirates?”

“Nonsense!” Buggy roared in a low voice, “Do you think becoming one of the Four Emperors is that easy? You’re in such a hurry even before seeing the shadow. Do you want the Marines to chase us to the ends of the earth?”

Although Buggy, despite being unable to win fights, could beg for mercy from enemies, he was once a crew member of the Pirate King Roger, and his experience was not something a group of prisoners could compare with. Therefore, he never thought about merging his own pirate crew into someone else’s crew. Over the years, Buggy only acknowledged one captain, the former Captain Roger.

However, despite not wanting to join, he still wanted to escape from this prison with Ian.

As Ian and the others were planning to leave, a commotion broke out among the prisoners on the sixth floor. They reached out, shouting towards Ian, “Boss Ian, Boss Ian! We’re willing to pledge allegiance to you. Please take us with you!”

“Is that so?” Ian suddenly showed a smiling expression, turning around to look at the prisoners on the sixth floor. He asked, “Do you also want to come with me?”

Seeing a possible turn of events, the prisoners in the cells quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes! Boss, please save us and take us with you!”

However, Ian looked somewhat troubled and said, “No, it’s not possible. As you can see, I’ve already rescued so many people coming down from above, and the returning ship is already overloaded… So, I have to apologize!”

“What!?” Upon hearing this, the prisoners in the cells were suddenly dumbfounded.

This… this… the hope for freedom was right in front of them, how did it shatter in an instant?

For a moment, the prisoners on the sixth floor couldn’t help but feel a wave of disappointment.

Meanwhile, the prisoners who had come down with Ian were extremely fortunate at this moment. They stood tall, looking at the prisoners in the sixth-floor cells, and instantly felt that their status had changed.

However, at this moment, Ian suddenly extended a finger and said, “Here’s the deal. I can reluctantly make space for one more person on the ship. I can’t take more, so I can only take one person from among you!”

Upon hearing this, the inmates in the cells went crazy! Many raised their hands and shouted at Ian, “Lord, take me! Take me away!”

However, Ian did not respond to any of the requests, just smiling as he looked at them.

Crocodile, seeing this scene, suddenly realized Ian’s intention and couldn’t help but shudder.

Sure enough, when Ian remained silent, some smarter inmates immediately realized it. Suddenly, someone from behind attacked their fellow inmate in the cell!

A prisoner suddenly raised his hands high and, using the sturdy Seastone shackles, ruthlessly smashed them onto the head of his unsuspecting companion in front of him, instantly killing him!

Once someone took the lead, the rest was self-evident. In each cell, cries of pain erupted as prisoners began to frantically kill each other.

Stimulated by Ian’s statement that he could only take one person, regardless of whether Ian’s words were true or false, the last hope of escaping from the prison was right in front of them. The prisoners had no choice but to take a chance. All the inmates here were extremely vicious criminals, and even their roommates had become obstacles in their eyes, hindering them from escaping.

Kill! Kill them, and then we can get a chance to escape!

Blood splattered, and the prisoners revealed the ugliest side of their humanity. In each cell, chilling screams echoed as they ruthlessly attacked their comrades. Only the strongest could survive.

“I…Ian big brother, isn’t this too much?” Nami tugged at Ian’s clothes, whispering, “Our ship…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ian covered her mouth, placing a finger to his lips, signaling her not to speak.

However, Chopper felt uneasy and asked, “Ian, why are you doing this?”

Ian, with a grim expression, watched the prisoners fight while whispering to Chopper, “Chopper, trust me. The prisoners on this sixth floor are entirely different from those on other floors. I have my reasons for doing this. I’ll explain after we get out. For now, don’t stop me!”

“Alright, I trust you!” Chopper thought for a moment, nodded, and fell silent.

After a while, the cries from the cells gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of the sole survivor panting heavily.

Seeing this, Ian drew his sword, the Senbonzakura, swiftly slashing several flaming sword auras through the air, cutting the Kairoseki on the cell doors.

The survivors from each cell walked out, staring fiercely at the survivors emerging from other cells.

They remembered very clearly that Ian, the Shichibukai, had said he would only take one person, making the remaining survivors their competitors.

“One, two, three… fourteen, fifteen, sixteen!” A hideous bald prisoner licked the blood on his lips, counting the number of opponents. After finishing, he grinned, “There are sixteen opponents! Once I kill you all, I can leave!”

However, at that moment, Ian suddenly spoke up, “Wrong. Each of you has not sixteen opponents but seventeen!”

The prisoners were puzzled, looking at Ian for an explanation.

Ian, instead of looking at them, turned his gaze to the quiet Shiryu of the Rain and asked, “Shiryu, if I remember correctly, you’re also from the sixth floor, right?”

Hearing this, Shiryu’s heart skipped a beat.
