Chapter 724: Maximum Security Prison and Minimum Security Prison!
Inside the Warden's Office of Impel Down.
The main officers of this prison, known as the 'Sea Star World's largest prison', were gathered here enjoying a rare lunch break.
This was because it was the only room on Underground Level 4, Blazing Hell, that had air conditioning.
Moreover, as the Warden's Office, its area and space were large enough.
Therefore, Warden Columbus could only helplessly let them wander back and forth in front of him during this time.
Gecko Moria, who had risen from a small Prison Guard to Vice Warden after four years of effort, was wearing a beige uniform. His massive body, nearly seven meters tall, was completely pressing down on a red sofa, causing it to groan in pain.
It must be said, Moria seemed to have gotten quite a bit fatter.
On the Coffee Table in front of him sat a bottle of Red Wine, which was considered expensive even in the outside world.
Beside it was a plate of Sea King Raw Meat Slices that the Sea Apes had just slaughtered from the Deep Sea.
Sitting opposite Moria was his Direct Superior.
'Slave King' Taklama, who was defeated and captured by Dragon himself back then, had gained the World Government's Importance due to his Pet-Pet Fruit Ability.
He was now the Head Warden here.
On the Coffee Table on his side were Whiskey with a pale yellow Liquid and a plate holding pale blue Cheese and Ham Slices.
However, judging from the Line of Sight that occasionally collided between the two.
Moria, who was shaking his Wine Glass, clearly didn't have much Respect for his Superior.
And Tarklama's Gaze towards the other party was filled with Disdain.
This made the Atmosphere in the Room very strange.
Warden Columbus, sitting behind the Office Desk, was already completely used to this.
He simply propped up his Chin with one hand and casually looked at the Document Paper on the desk, his Gaze occasionally glancing at Nakime, who was standing to the side holding a Pipa.
This Attendant from the Demon Slayer World, who originally belonged to Muzan Kibutsuji.
With Muzan's departure from Impel Down, she had become Warden Columbus's Secretary.
It was simply because her Blood Demon Art, which could control the Space Layout within a Building, was too suitable for this place.
Just think about it.
In the Future, if a Prisoner from an Other World escaped from their Prison Cell and ran all the way to the Sea Level using some special Ability.
But the second before he was about to step out of Impel Down's Main Gate, he instantly found himself back in his Prison Cell. What kind of utterly despairing feeling would that be?
In fact, several Prisoners had already experienced this feeling.
Although they only managed to run out of their Prison Cells at most, ran a few Laps in the Corridor, and then returned 'home' in the blink of an eye.
But it was enough to prove.
Nakime was naturally suited to stay in Impel Down.
"Um... Miss Nakime, This Old Man can take a week off in three days. Do you want to go out and look around together, see the Scenery and such?"
Warden Columbus, who was over fifty years old, hesitated for a moment before smiling and asking.
"..."
Moria and Tarklama were instantly speechless. This Warden really didn't hide his pursuit behavior at all.
But Nakime looked like she could completely be his Daughter, right?
No.
It was said that Nakime was over two hundred years old, but the problem was that she wasn't Human, she was a Demon!
But how could they know,
This Warden Columbus was naturally flirtatious and especially liked beautiful Women of different Races.
Although Nakime only had one Eye on her face and looked a bit scary, if that point was ignored, her face shape and figure both had the Characteristics of an Oriental Beauty.
Especially that peculiar indifferent temperament, which held a strong Temptation for Columbus.
Of course.
The biggest attraction was the fact that Nakime was a Demon.
Fortunately, he still had some decency and didn't use his Identity and Strength to force her.
"Warden Lord, I cannot walk in Sunlight."
Nakime lowered her head, letting her long black hair cover her face, and replied indifferently.
Speaking of which.
After Muzan Kibutsuji ate the Blue Spider Lily and became the 'Perfect Being' he had dreamed of, although his other Abilities remained, he uniquely lost the Ability to create 'Demons'.
Because the Blood in his body was no longer 'Demon Blood', this caused the Upper Limit on the number of 'Demons' to be sealed.
Coupled with the World Government constantly sending people to the Demon Slayer World to Capture Alive 'Demons' in the Wilderness to provide Experiment Materials for the Biochemical Research Institute.
This further led to a continuous decrease in the number of 'Demons'.
The Biochemical Research Institute had considered using Cloning Technology, but they found that they could only Clone inferior 'Demons', the kind of 'Low-Level Demons' without Blood Demon Arts.
Then, after long-term Experiments feeding them 'Food', they finally discovered that these Cloned Demons could not naturally Awaken their own Blood Demon Arts no matter how much 'Food' they ate.
So they could only choose to shift their Experiment Target to developing an Enhanced Serum that could give people a High-Speed Regeneration Physique...
"Hahaha, with This Old Man here, it's absolutely impossible for you to have any Accident. You've been in Sea Star World for so long, don't you want to see the many beautiful sights of this World?"
"This..."
Nakime was stunned upon hearing Warden Columbus's words.
How could she not want to see them?
Although she was a 'Demon', she also had normal Desires and Emotions and was definitely full of Curiosity about the Other World.
However, when she was under Muzan, her Heart was filled with the Fear of being killed at any time.
She could only forcefully suppress her feelings and silently act as a Tool for him to Control the Infinity Castle.
But now it was different. Although the Environment of this Impel Down was much harsher than the Infinity Castle.
Mentally, it made her feel incredibly relaxed and at ease.
Because it was safe enough.
So she liked this place very, very much, and it also made her hesitant to refuse Warden Columbus's pursuit, fearing that she would be kicked out of Impel Down.
[Bang!]
But just as Nakime was about to agree, the Office door was pushed open heavily.
A tall figure, nearly five meters high, wearing a Black Uniform with devil-like black wings on his back, walked in.
"Warden, the World Government people have safely left."
The person who arrived was Vice Warden Magellan.
He reported in a booming, rough voice as he walked towards the refrigerator in the corner.
He took out a sealed bag containing liquid food from inside and put the Straw into his mouth.
Although this way of eating was a bit strange, it did prevent him from having to worry about diarrhea.
"Uh, oh, okay, that's good..."
Warden Columbus sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, with his keen Experience from having dated countless Women, Nakime's tone just now clearly indicated she was about to agree.
He would ask again later.
Magellan plopped down onto the Single Sofa between Moria and Tarklama and said.
"By the way, Warden, we have too few Prisoners here now. Can you talk to the higher-ups and ask them to send more people in?"
This Impel Down, as the Construction Department has been continuously drawing Criminals from various levels as Laborers in recent years.
Even the 'Newcomers' sent from Enies Lobby would be taken away within a few days.
This greatly reduced the Workload of their Prison Guards, to the point where they practically had no work to do.
Only the hundred or so Ohara Scholars who were sent here before.
Due to special reasons, they had been staying on Underground Level 1, Crimson Hell.
Enduring the Torment of Sword Trees and Needle Grass every day.
So now the Corridors and Prison Cells of the various levels of 'Hell' were so empty they were like a ghost Domain.
"Ah, there's nothing we can do about that. I heard the World Government is preparing to designate this place as a Maximum Security Prison, and only guys with extremely strong Strength or strange Abilities will be sent here."
Warden Columbus spread his hands, a helpless Expression on his face.
"As for those ordinary Criminals, I heard they will all be directly handed over to the Ministry of Police Affairs' Baltigo Light Punishment Prison, which is being established on Baltigo."
Magellan fell silent after hearing this. After a moment, he asked in a booming voice.
"The Minister of the Ministry of Police Affairs, I heard it's the Son of the Marine Hero, Admiral Garp?"
Warden Columbus smiled and said, "That's right. You'll have a chance to meet him in the Future~"
