The warship was so big that it looked like a castle from a distance. Hannibal slowly climbed up along the rope ladder hanging from the warship. The rope ladder was swaying under the sea breeze and seemed to blow him away completely.

Come down normally.

Vice Admiral Dafili watched with a smile as his old friend climbed up little by little, but his eyes on the other side stayed on the other person all the time.

The small boat was still swaying slowly in the sea waves, and the person on the small boat was swaying with the sea waves. This person looked so strange in Dafili, although he had never been to the so-called

Pushing into the city, but as a close friend of Hannibal, he knew the people around Hannibal very well.

"strangeness……"

Dafili subconsciously murmured to himself, his eyes showing suspicion. He squinted his eyes and looked at the current situation carefully.

"What are you looking at! Do you suspect that I am a pirate in disguise?"

Hannibal had already climbed onto the warship and slapped his good friend directly on the body. At this moment, Hannibal seemed to be in high spirits, as if nothing had happened to Hannibal.

"There are almost traces of battle all over his body, but the expression on his face is so relaxed. It doesn't look right." Dafili subconsciously thought to himself, his eyes slowly looking up and down Hannibal's body, constantly looking up and down.

I want to find any trace of something wrong with my friends.

Unfortunately... there is nothing. My friend looks so normal at this moment. It can be said that even the greatest detective cannot find any clues about his friend.

"Lieutenant General!"

Before Dafili could speak, the voice of a sailor could be heard in the distance. The soldier wearing a snow-white navy uniform was seen holding a bunch of chains in his hand, standing next to Dafili. The chain looked like this

It looked so ordinary, neither emitting any dazzling light nor exuding any inexplicable power.

but……

"Is this a sea stone chain? Are you suspecting that I am a pirate in disguise?" Hannibal shouted loudly to Dafili, and he straightened up in front of Dafili.

He shook angrily. "If I was really pretending to be a pirate, how could I appear in front of you?"

Hannibal asked seriously.

Dafili didn't answer, just narrowed his eyes, and then looked at Hannibal carefully with his eyes. He only heard him say slowly, "Before we came to Impel Down City, we received a notice from Impel Down City.

Information from Warden Magellan."

"intelligence?"

"At least ten people escaped from Impel Down, including Luffy wearing a straw hat. On the other hand," Dafili said, raising the corners of his mouth and laughing, "I once heard that Mr.

.2 Navy colleagues said that the prisoner currently detained in Impel Down City has the ability to completely imitate the appearance of others. To be careful, I had to take some preventive measures."

Dafili said this, but although the words were very polite, they already expressed the same meaning inside and outside the words. He did not believe that Hannibal appeared in front of him now, or as a cautious person.

Be careful Vice Admiral, he does not trust anyone who comes out of Impel Down City now. No matter who he is. No matter whether he is familiar with this person or not, he is now an object of doubt in the Vice Admiral's eyes.

.

Be careful, and then treat it with caution. This is the quality that a naval vice admiral should have. This quality is not ordinary, but it is so suitable.

It was so appropriate that no one had anything to say.

"Okay! Okay! Next time I see you, I will give you a good beating!"

Hannibal said angrily, and directly stretched out his hands. Vice Admiral Dafili listened to his friend's words. He smiled a little ashamedly, turned his head and winked at the sailor behind him.

"I'm offended!"

The sailor gave Hannibal a naval salute and stepped forward.

Click!

There was a soft sound. The originally ordinary sea stone chain was directly placed on Hannibal's hands. To ordinary people, the so-called sea stone chain was just a chain made of special materials.

That’s it. It only feels a little heavy when worn on the hand, but for holding it

For those who have Devil Fruit abilities, it is like a bowl of extremely poisonous poison. As long as it is slightly smeared with it, the ability to curse the sea will disappear without a trace in an instant.

This is one of the few items in the world that can restrict ability users.

The expression on Hannibal's face has hardly changed. He still has a somewhat annoying expression, even with a hint of anger. He first curled his lips at Dafili, who was standing in front of him, and then

As if to demonstrate, he directly lifted the chains on his hands.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...

Under the blowing of the sea breeze, this chain made of sea-engraved stone began to ring non-stop in the sea breeze, making people subconsciously want to frown tightly and not want to listen to this annoying sound.

.

"How about it!"

Hannibal raised his head directly, as if to demonstrate, and as if he was angry, he shouted loudly at Dafili standing in front of him. He did not soften, and the look on his face did not change.

There is no change at all. In other words...

"How could I be a pirate in disguise! You see clearly!"

Although Hannibal shouted loudly, Dafili seemed to be completely deaf at this moment. He just squinted his eyes and stared at Hannibal, first looking carefully with his eyes that were more white than black.

, looked Hannibal up and down, and filtered it carefully in his mind.

"It's hard to say." Dafeili said slowly, with a sly smile on his face, "After all, the Hannibal I know doesn't have any Devil Fruit abilities. Will he be able to bring this sea stone?"

Chains are no different to him, don't you think? My friend Hannibal?"

The words are very polite, but the meaning hidden behind them is enough to make people feel scared. If it is really the Hannibal that the Vice Admiral knows, and he does not have any power from the Devil Fruit, then he is wearing

The impact of this sea stone chain on one's own abilities can be said to be minimal.

This is not the main reason.

Dafili narrowed his eyes and thought slowly in his heart. Although he was not a member of the guards in Pushing City, he still clearly understood the strength of everyone in Pushing City. There is no doubt that as Pushing

The strength of the guard in the city, Magellan, should of course be far superior to everyone else. But even if Magellan's powerful combat power were sacrificed in the battle, who could defeat the prisoners who broke into the impel city?

It can't be anyone else. No one's strength is on the same level as Magellan. Magellan is the so-called natural fruit holder, although if strictly calculated, Magellan's strength should be that of a superhuman demon.

The application of the fruit, but the poisonous fruit is an alien that is cleverly between the two. No matter who has this poisonous fruit, his ability will make a leap that no one can imagine. 2

The leap is something that natural devil fruits can bring about.

So here comes the question...

Since even Magellan, the strongest warden, was able to defeat the pirate, who was defeated by him? This is really like a multiple choice question, the only answer is no longer available. But since the answer is no longer available, why?

Another friend will appear in front of him. It is obviously Hani whose combat level is at the lowest level among all the impel city guards. If someone said that he defeated the pirates who wanted to escape from prison, he would not believe it no matter what.

.

Then there is only one conclusion...

Hannibal was fake or was threatened. Other than that, there was no other reasonable explanation. No other explanation could explain the thoughts that just popped up in his mind. There was no other explanation.

A way to satisfactorily resolve the confusion that arises in your mind.

Thinking of this, Dafili's eyes once again looked at the sailor who was still standing in the sea. He carefully searched the navy's recruit regulations in his mind, trying to find some loopholes. After all, compared to sailors,

, Pirates are actually far inferior to marines in terms of discipline or any aspect.

It's okay not to look at it. Once he looked at the sailor with suspicion, Dafili, as a vice admiral, had already discovered many suspicious points. For example, his stance, his face was too pale.

His skin. For example, the temperament exuding from his body. Although these little bits and pieces are only extremely subtle, at this moment, in Dafili's view, they have already confirmed his conjecture.

As long as you have suspicion in your heart, you will have thousands of thoughts. As long as you have thousands of thoughts in your heart, then the subsequent doubts and temptations will become a matter of course. All this is like a subtle

As long as someone makes a slight fluctuation at one end of the rotating gear, the other end will respond and start moving slowly.

"As expected!" Dafili's eyes were blazing, and he slowly stood beside Hannibal, and then said softly, "Actually, you lost the fight, right?"

Dafili's voice was very soft, almost just ringing in Hannibal's ears. It was a whisper, and it was also a measure he took to prevent accidents. It was now certain that the sailor standing on the boat below should

They are pirates.

This person should be monitoring his group. If he attacks rashly, the people inside the city may be attacked.

Indeed.

Everything seemed to have been cleverly calculated and was slowly being presented in the way that Dafili had in mind. Hannibal did not answer Dafili's question, but turned around directly.

He waved his hand to the sailor below.

On the other hand... Dafili's heart has begun to rise. Hannibal is obviously not a person who can hide things in his heart. If he is really defeated by the pirates, he will speak out openly.

.If he defeated the pirates, then it can be said that Hannibal would have shouted loudly before he even asked, right?

But what now? Hannibal didn't say anything, he just turned around and waved to the pirate behind him, gesturing for him to get on the warship.

"Is it Magellan, or someone else?"

Dafili thought he had completely grasped the point of the matter. The problem now was not how to receive Hannibal, but... how to protect the guards who had been completely placed under house arrest in Impel Down?

That must be it!

Dafili nodded his head vigorously. Then he smiled at Hannibal. That smile seemed to say that with the tacit understanding between the two of them, he had completely seen through everything and now everything is ready.

Just wait a moment and you can catch this pirate.

Judging from his attitude of daring to board a warship alone, he must have enhanced his Devil Fruit abilities. No matter what, he cannot let this pirate go. Not only can he not let him go, but he must also use this pirate.
To be continued...
