Chapter 120: Burning Hell’s Ultimatum
In the conference room of Marine Headquarters.
At this moment, all high-ranking officers at or above the middle level currently stationed at Marineford had gathered. Ten vice admirals, one admiral — the backbone of the Navy's core command — were present.
"You're in such a hurry to call all of us here. Seems like something serious has happened," Akainu said in a deep, grave voice.
He had only temporarily returned to headquarters for a short vacation, but clearly, that vacation was no longer an option.
The other vice admirals exchanged confused glances, their expressions solemn and tense.
"Everyone,"
Sengoku sat at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping across the room. Without wasting time, he got straight to the point. "A major incident occurred today. All the prisoners on the sixth floor of Impel Down have escaped."
As his words landed, a wave of chaos erupted through the room.
"What?!"
One vice admiral shot to his feet, slamming his palms on the table in disbelief. "All of the prisoners from the sixth floor? That floor is full of monsters! Have they really broken out of Impel Down?"
"No," Sengoku clarified, his tone calm but sharp. "According to the latest intelligence, the prisoners have only reached the fourth floor. Magellan has already organized a defensive line on the third floor to intercept and buy time. We must quickly assemble our forces and head to Impel Down for reinforcements. Our mission is simple — re-apprehend every last one of the escapees."
