Chapter 237: Magellan Returns to Normal

Under peace is greater chaos.

Sengoku stood under the ruins of the Navy Headquarters.

There were piles of rubble around him, and the air was filled with dust and lingering blood. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

Compared to the joy of victory, everything in front of him made him more confused.

Is this war right or wrong?

Now think about it, the price paid to overthrow a Four Emperor Navy is too high.

But... this is also an opportunity.

Before, the New World in the second half of the Grand Line has always been in a state of four emperors standing side by side. They check and balance each other, and even the Navy cannot intervene.

Now, Whitebeard has fallen, which is undoubtedly a breakthrough.

The Navy may be able to do something with this.

"Marshal Sengoku!"

"Marshal Sengoku!!"

The voice that suddenly sounded interrupted Sengoku's thoughts.

"What's the matter?"

He turned his head and saw a navy running over breathlessly. It seemed that the situation was a bit urgent.

"The situation in Impel Down has been confirmed!"

After saying this, Zhan Guo took a deep breath and slowly sat down against a piece of rubble.

"Tell me, what happened there?"

He had heard that Magellan had rebelled and used his fruit power to turn Impel Down into a highly toxic prison. He couldn't believe that this was true.

But because the war was still in full swing at that time, he couldn't find anyone to confirm it, so he could only suppress his anger and confusion.

Now it's time to reveal the truth of this matter.

The navy who came to report swallowed his saliva, his eyebrows full of panic and fear.

After a long while, he stammered.

"Push, the area within thousands of meters around Impel Down is filled with terrible poisonous gas, and countless giant sea king corpses are floating on the sea."

"The navy who had been in Impel Down for a while said...that...those poisonous gases...can...only Magellan, the warden, can release them, so...it's obviously him who did it!"

This speech has undoubtedly confirmed the rebellion of Magellan.

Although Zhan Guo's expression did not change, he felt mixed emotions.

"Have you found out the situation inside the city?"

The navy who came to report shook his head.

"The density of the poison gas there is too terrifying, and it is extremely corrosive. Even chemical protection suits can't withstand it. If you want to go in, you must wait for the poison gas to slowly dissipate."

"As of now, it will take half a month to a month to enter. If you force your way in, you will only die!"

There is no doubt that Magellan was completely deadly when he left.

He left no chance for the people inside.

This time, even Zhan Guo couldn't hold it.

There was no way, this was too cruel.

What's more, there were not only pirates inside, but also jailer beasts that the navy spent decades to cultivate. Those low-level jailers were also living beings.

As a result, they all died because of Magellan alone!

Huh——

Zhan Guo took a deep breath again and rubbed his temples.

"Have you found Magellan's whereabouts?"

"Because the poison gas covers such a wide area, no one knows where he went."

"Okay, you tell Kizaru about this and let him investigate!"

Magellan's poison gas is still the product of the devil fruit.

Armament Haki that is strong to a certain extent can resist its special effects.

As an admiral, he can basically ignore Magellan's poison gas.

Of course, it's just ordinary poison gas.

If he uses the awakening ability of "Poison Giant Soldier", no matter how strong the Armament Haki is, it won't last long.

And this is the capital that Magellan's strength can be comparable to that of an admiral - fruit awakening!

Now, Luo Di has taught him Armament Haki, which is simply adding wings to a tiger.

However, Luo Di now regrets it.

Because Magellan is an unstable factor, no one knows when he will break free from that layer of shackles and turn to the navy again.

...

Above the endless sea.

A warship is moving forward at a very fast speed.

Magellan stood at the bow, his eyes confused and painful.

For some reason, he suddenly picked up the anchor on the deck and threw it into the sea.

Puff——

With the splashing waves, the speed of the warship was quickly reduced, and finally stopped.

"What did I do before?"

He bent down and covered his head with a painful expression.

Something seemed to break in his mind.

In an instant, countless memories poured into his brain like a torrent.

At this moment, he seemed to see the tragic situation of the city of Push.

The air was filled with poisonous gas, and the jailer in the city of Push died in the struggle.

The sound of pain and wailing was endless.

And all of this was done by him!

What made Magellan feel even more painful was... He knew what he had done, but he didn't know why he did it.

That's it, there was no reason, no reason.

He always felt that he had forgotten something, and this was the key, but he couldn't remember it at all, as if that memory was taken away by something.

In fact, this is the "protection mechanism" of Luo Di's ability.

When the power of the Death God Fruit awakens, Luo Di has the ability to forcibly change the souls of others.

This change will not cause a qualitative change. The character's personality habits and some potential behaviors cannot be changed.

When he was stimulated by something powerful enough to shake his soul, Luo Di's ability would be forcibly released, and at the same time, the memory related to Luo Di would be deleted. This is the so-called "protection mechanism".

The mechanism to protect Luo Di, the man behind the scenes.

Magellan was in this state at this time.

The miserable situation of the city of Impel Down was the source of pain, constantly stimulating his nerves and stirring his soul.

Therefore, he recovered and became the original him, the warden of the city of Impel Down, Magellan.

But he didn't know what happened to him!

"Is someone manipulating my behavior?"

Unable to help, an inexplicable guess popped up in his mind.

And only this guess could rationalize his previous behavior.

"Damn, who is it?"

He slapped his forehead several times to see if this "physical method" could recall anything.

However, to his disappointment, he still remembered nothing.

However, he was sure of one thing, that he had not left the city of Impel Down in the month before this incident... right?

'... You left! ’

But, another different voice sounded in his heart.

“There is a problem, something went wrong during this period of time!”

The strong sense of conflict woke Magellan up suddenly.

He had to investigate what happened in the city of Push in the previous month, maybe there would be some clues.

No matter what, he had to find out who was behind it.

This kind of person is a huge threat to the navy and the world government!
