Chapter 1196: Seeing Louise Again!
Inside Impel Down Great Prison.
It was as dark and terrifying as ever.
Every moment, screams and wailing could be faintly heard penetrating the walls.
Magellan led Head Warden Tarklama, Chief Jailer Hanzo, President Joseph of the Magic Association, and two Men in Black from CP5.
While listening to these horrifying sounds, they took the elevator from Underground Level 4, the Blazing Hell, to Underground Level 6, the Infinite Hell.
Under the gaze of eyes that were either numb or ferocious, they passed through one square prison cell after another.
This was Hanzo's first time visiting this place.
He had originally been curious, but now cold sweat was beading on his forehead.
This was because the air in the Infinite Hell was filled with powerful auras.
They mixed together, causing great pressure on Hanzo's body and mind.
The prisoners confined here were mostly extremely vicious individuals from the world, who had left behind various legends on the seas.
Their strength might not be as great as Bullet or Shiki, but they were definitely existences that a Vice Admiral couldn't handle.
In other words, the people in every prison cell.
As long as they were in good condition, their strength was no weaker than his, a Half-God of the Ninja World!
Any one of them, if placed in their former Ninja World, would be considered an expert of the so-called Kage-level!
And there were nearly a hundred of them!
Because the Infinite Hell only had a total of one hundred prison cells.
"That is!"
Just as the group was passing by one of the prison cells, Hanzo suddenly stopped in his tracks subconsciously.
He noticed a Chakra Signature he was familiar with inside this prison cell.
This indicated that the prisoner inside was from the Ninja World.
However, Hanzo didn't know what kind of ninja could be held in this place.
One must know that even Sasori of the Red Sand, who assassinated the Third Kazekage, and Kakuzu, the Rogue Ninja from Waterfall Hidden (who reportedly fought Hashirama Senju and escaped unharmed, living to this day), were currently only held in Underground Level 3, the Starvation Hell.
However, this was because Sasori of the Red Sand, before undergoing Self-Modification, had all his puppets confiscated.
And Kakuzu had all his Earth Grudge Fear and four hearts confiscated.
He had now become experimental subjects located in the Biochemical Research Institute on Level 5.5.
At the same time, both of them had the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Technique Formula applied to them.
Otherwise, with their peak strength, they would be fully qualified to be held in Underground Level 4 or Underground Level 5.
Therefore, Hanzo felt that even if he became a prisoner, at most he would only be held in Underground Level 5.
So, who was inside this one?
"Hehehehehe, did you notice? Inside is a Great White Snake, oh. It's said to be called a 'Sage' in your Ninja World~~"
Tarklama noticed Hanzo's reaction and teased him with a playful tone.
Hanzo's heart was startled, and he thought to himself, "White Snake Sage! Could it be the one from the Three Great Sage Regions?"
He had only heard of the Three Great Sage Regions.
After all, in every era, some people would venture to find the Holy Lands hoping to learn their Sage Jutsu.
However, few people managed to return alive.
Hanzo really wanted to stop and look, but Magellan, who was leading the way, didn't give him the time and continued walking forward without a word.
"Tarklama, I need to go see Mr. Brogy later. You've been taking it seriously, right?"
Suddenly, Magellan spoke, and Tarklama quickly replied:
"Of course, this is something Warden Columbus personally instructed. I would not dare to be negligent!"
"I personally review the daily food for that Giant God Soldier before having it sent over!"
"Hmm, that's good. I hope it's truly as you say." Magellan nodded in satisfaction.
Tarklama didn't know what 'Giant God Soldier' meant.
But as the Vice Warden, he knew more secrets.
Magellan and Columbus were the only two people among Impel Down's staff who knew a little information about Im.
So when Columbus heard that Brogy's sentence was only one year, he knew that the higher-ups hadn't truly given up on Brogy, but were giving him a minor punishment.
After getting out, he would be a 'Giant God Soldier' by Lord Imu's side.
Therefore, he specifically instructed Head Warden Tarklama to take some care of him.
At least the food should be normal; they should be given whatever they ate.
And the latest newspaper should also be sent over.
Giant God Soldier?
Hanzo felt like he had heard another remarkable term.
A moment later, the group arrived at their destination.
The prison cell of the Void Mage from the Zero Magic World, Louise Vallière.
Magellan stepped forward and used the key, which only he and the Warden possessed, to open the huge cell door.
"Tarklama, you take them in. Hanzo and I will wait here."
"Yes, Vice Warden!"
Tarklama immediately nodded in agreement and was the first to walk into the opened cell door.
Joseph and the two CP8 followed closely behind.
Inside the prison cell.
Louise, dressed in a prison uniform, was curled up in the corner.
Her face was buried in her bent knees and crossed arms, completely ignoring the four people who entered one by one.
Tarklama knew he was only responsible for controlling Louise at all times, so he silently moved to the side and acted as a spectator.
"Louise."
Joseph, also from the Zero Magic World.
Seeing the young girl turn out like this, his mood inexplicably became heavy.
He still remembered how full of vitality Louise had been before, and now she exuded a depressed aura all over.
Joseph sighed in his heart, "Why bother? It would have been so much better if she had just obediently joined the Association back then..."
Hodoriyu, whom Louise and the others had helped.
A few days ago, he was officially executed on the execution ground at Enies Lobby.
His ashes were returned to his daughter, Durga.
This was then reported to the Auxiliary Legion stationed in the Zero Magic World.
To show that the culprit of the previous Gate of Haltake Incident had been executed.
At the same time, all other accomplices were escorted into Impel Down, which could be called a living hell, to serve their sentence.
It is worth mentioning.
Tabitha, whose original name was Charlotte Helene d'Orléans.
Joseph, in his capacity as Magic Association President, had guaranteed that she would not do anything that defied the World Government again.
And paid a high ransom of 300 million Berry and a large amount of Merit Points.
Successfully brought her out of Underground Level 3, the Starvation Hell, in Impel Down.
Instead, she was placed under house arrest in the Magic Tower of the Hanlin Academy Council for ten years.
After all, Tabitha's father was his brother.
Perhaps this was a form of compensation for assassinating her father and using a Magic Potion to make her mother lose sanity back then for the throne.
At this moment.
The atmosphere inside the prison cell was oppressive.
Louise did not respond to Joseph's call.
Seeing this, Joseph had no choice but to state their purpose.
"Louise, we need to talk to Brimir. Please use magic to summon him out."
Saying this, he gently placed the Ancestor's Prayer Book, which had been confiscated by Impel Down and sent to the Magic Association, in front of Louise.
Joseph and Pope Victorio had also tried before to use Void Magic to summon Brimir.
But whether it was because the magic was wrong or Brimir was unwilling to pay attention to them.
In short, there was no effect.
"Louise, if you can help the World Government, or show a positive attitude of being willing to serve the World Government, perhaps it can help yourself, and Hiraga Saito and the others."
Seeing that Louise still had no reaction, Joseph had no choice but to bring out the speech he had prepared long ago.
After all, he was someone who had been king.
He understood people very well and knew what Louise cared about most.
"Saito..."
As expected, upon hearing Hiraga Saito's name.
Louise slowly looked up, and a spark of life gradually appeared in her lifeless eyes.
