Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Beyond the Sea Lies Freedom!

"You're just as much of a scoundrel as Shiryu!"

Upon hearing this, Magellan immediately cursed.

Among the management personnel of Impel Down, just look at how diligent and honest Magellan, Hannyabal, and Domino are as workers!

In contrast, Sadie, Shiryu, and Storm are each more insane than the last! No matter what, Magellan would never allow Storm to escape from Infinite Hell!

"Storm, if you die later, I will personally oversee your funeral."

At that moment, the deep purple venom covering Magellan's body suddenly changed color.

Unlike the usual purple venom he released, the venom now emanating from Magellan was an incredibly glaring crimson, resembling blood! "This... is my 'Forbidden Technique.'"

Behind Magellan, the crimson venom gathered together, slowly shaping into an enormous humanoid creature.

"During its use, it could potentially destroy the entire Impel Down...

"This is—

"Poison Giant Soldier!"

As Magellan uttered the last word, the humanoid poison creature behind him finally took shape.

With a crimson body, bat-like membranous wings, terrifying horns, and a skull-like head...

The "Poison Giant Soldier" that appeared behind Magellan resembled a red devil from hellish legends! The toxicity of the "Poison Giant Soldier" far surpassed that of any other venom Magellan had released.

Even the ground of Infinite Hell could not withstand this fierce poison.

At the point where the "Poison Giant Soldier" made contact with the ground, a continuous "hissing" sound emerged.

This was the sound of the ground of Infinite Hell being corroded by the venom! Not only that.

The "Poison Giant Soldier" also possessed a terrifying infectious quality.

This crimson toxin could rapidly spread from any surface it came into contact with.

This toxin could "infect" everything, including non-living entities.

Even the stones of Infinite Hell fell within the infection range of the "Poison Giant Soldier"!

The crimson toxin spread and eroded the surroundings at an unimaginable speed.

Inside the prison closest to Magellan, the corpses of several prisoners who had already lost their lives to the "Clay Dragon Bullet" were affected.

The moment their bodies came into contact with the "Poison Giant Soldier," they were instantly dyed blood-red.

Pale pink gas continuously wafted from the corpses.

The terrifying toxicity directly vaporized the bodies! Under Magellan's control, the "Poison Giant Soldier" swung its long, thick arms and struck fiercely at Storm.

Faced with the attack of this crimson poison creature, Storm finally revealed a serious expression.

No longer hesitating, he directly unleashed the awakening power of the Clay-Clay Fruit!

The ground around Storm, centered on his position, was instantly assimilated into white clay.

"Flowing Clay!"

Storm controlled the clayified ground, as if riding the turbulent waves, to meet the strike of the "Poison Giant Soldier."

Boom! The enormous palm of the "Poison Giant Soldier" slammed down onto the "Flowing Clay."

The terrifying toxin left a deep crimson handprint on the white clay.

But even more astonishing was that the venom staining the handprint was spreading outward at an unimaginable speed.

In just a few breaths, the top part of the "Flowing Clay" that Storm had just controlled was completely dyed red by the toxin!

The infection speed of the "Poison Giant Soldier's" super toxin showed no signs of slowing down.

Seeing this, Storm decisively abandoned that portion of the "poisoned clay."

Without a medium for transmission, the remaining clay finally stopped turning red.

'Seeing is believing! The toxicity of the Poison Giant Soldier is even more terrifying than I had anticipated!'

Storm looked at the "Poison Giant Soldier" with a very grave expression.

On the other side, Magellan also looked at Storm with surprise.

"Using the power of the Devil Fruit to assimilate the surrounding natural environment."

A complex emotion flashed in Magellan's eyes, a mix of shock and, more so, regret.

"Storm, your Clay-Clay Fruit has actually awakened!"

A powerful individual who has developed a Devil Fruit to the awakening level is rare across the entire sea! Even within the vast World Government, those with the ability to awaken their fruits are few and far between.

In Magellan's view, if Storm hadn't caused today's commotion, with his strength, he could have significantly enhanced the security of Impel Down!

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now...

"But it's just an awakening."

Storm said lightly.

"Doesn't your Venom-Venom Fruit have an awakening as well?"

Magellan's "Poison Giant Soldier" also had the effect of infecting the surrounding natural environment! Who would dare say that Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit hadn't awakened at this level of development?!

Storm had no intention of discussing the "awakening of Devil Fruits" with Magellan; he once again controlled the clayified ground.

Clay arms grew from the earth, each arm capable of rivaling the size of the "Poison Giant Soldier's" arms.

Under Storm's control, these clay arms avoided the heavily poisoned ground and ignored the massive "Poison Giant Soldier."

They charged directly at Magellan!

To capture the king, one must first capture the horse. As long as Magellan, the ability user, could be dealt with, the "Poison Giant Soldier" would lose its effectiveness as well! Magellan naturally noticed Storm's attack.

His response was quite simple; he merely took a small step back.

In an instant, Magellan merged into the body of the "Poison Giant Soldier."

The massive form of the "Poison Giant Soldier" became Magellan's best protective armor at that moment.

The next moment, the clay arms struck down, pounding heavily against the body of the "Poison Giant Soldier." Boom! Boom! Boom!—

The sound of continuous collisions echoed throughout Infinite Hell.

Each strike of the clay giant fists caused violent ripples on the surface of the "Poison Giant Soldier's" body, splattering crimson venom in all directions.

But at the same time, the clay fists that made contact with the "Poison Giant Soldier" were also rapidly infected, turning a glaring red.

As time passed, the toxicity of the "Poison Giant Soldier" infiltrated the interior of the clay fists, causing the completely red clay to rot and dissolve.

The crimson toxin surged rapidly along the clay arms toward Storm's position.

Storm had no choice but to sever the connection with the poisoned clay once again.

Clumps of rotten, red clay fell to the ground, resembling pools of foul mud, emitting a terrible odor.

'I must expand the attack surface!'

A thought flashed through Storm's mind.

He expanded the power of the Clay-Clay Fruit once more, completely assimilating the open space of Infinite Hell into clay.

Under Storm's control, the clayified ground surged upward, transforming into a white wave that reached for the sky.

"Giant Wave Clay!"

Endless white clay rushed toward Magellan and the "Poison Giant Soldier."

The massive "Poison Giant Soldier," comparable in size to a giant, appeared small like a red doll in front of this boundless "Giant Wave Clay."

In just a moment, the "Giant Wave Clay" slammed into the "Poison Giant Soldier."

The terrifying impact caused the "Poison Giant Soldier" to involuntarily stagger backward, all the way out of the gates of Infinite Hell.

Storm initially wanted to continue pursuing.

But at that moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and he transformed entirely into white clay.

This scene resembled a "fading" effect.

To be precise, this "Storm" was returning to his true identity—

Clay Clone! The real Storm emerged from a nearby cell.

Beside him, Little White Dragon held a freshly produced Devil Fruit—

[Name: More-More Fruit]

[Star Rating: None]

[Description: Paramecia-type Devil Fruit]

[Effect: The user can amplify the power, speed, volume, weight, and other attributes of themselves or other objects they come into contact with by multiples.]

[Comment: Super Doubling!]

The owner of this More-More Fruit was—

[Platinum Trophy: Byrnndi World]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★★]

"Byrnndi World's power level is slightly weaker than Katarina Devon."

Storm withdrew his gaze from the Trophy.

"However, the power of the More-More Fruit is definitely not inferior to that of the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit!"

Hiss—Hiss—

At the entrance of Infinite Hell, the "Poison Giant Soldier" was madly destroying the "Giant Wave Clay" blocking the door.

It wouldn't be long before Magellan could re-enter Infinite Hell.

To be honest, the speed at which the Director arrived was even a bit faster than Storm had imagined.

But fortunately, he had already obtained both Devil Fruits he wanted most!

In that case...

"Time to make a run for it!"

At the moment the "Poison Giant Soldier" re-entered Infinite Hell, Storm leisurely waved at Magellan.

In the next instant, Storm melted into the clay ground beneath him like a drop of water.

Magellan rushed over in a few quick steps but couldn't even catch the little tail of the clay figure.

"Vongola Storm!!!"

The Director's furious roar was quickly left behind.

Storm ascended from Infinite Hell.

In New Kama Land, Ivankov, who had just completed his self-healing work, had returned to the group of transvestites...

In Extreme Cold Hell, the starving Army Wolf was launching a bloody attack on a solitary prisoner...

In Scorching Hell, several brawny, simple-minded Warden Beasts were tirelessly teaching a lesson to the prisoners...

Starvation Hell...

Beast Hell...

Crimson Hell...

Storm swiftly passed through layer after layer of hell, unable to help but recall the various experiences he had in Impel Down.

At the end of hell, light emerged.

The White Dragon soared high.

Beyond the sea... lies freedom!

Setting sail!
