Chapter 403: Sea-King Attack
Under the blue sky and white clouds, a military ship adorned with seagull insignia slowly sails across the vast blue sea.
Allan, Crocodile, and the others stand on the deck of the ship, watching as Impel Down fades into the distance behind them. This means they have truly escaped.
In the past, the number of people who managed to escape from Impel Down was few and far between, easily counted on one hand (as in one person who is Shiki). Yet there were tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of prisoners held there.
The chance of escaping from Impel Down was only 0.00001%, a slim chance that most people wouldn’t even consider. But today, the myth of Impel Down has been shattered. Even Magellan, who is as powerful as a Marine Admiral, has been defeated.
Although only a handful of people, including Allan and Crocodile, managed to escape, luck was definitely on their side.
Now, they are sailing away on a stolen warship, headed towards the vast sea. However, they find themselves in the region known as the “Calm Belt,” where there is no wind and the sea surface is calm.
The calm belt is a place where Sea Kings reside. Although it appears tranquil, beneath the calm surface, hundreds of Sea Kings lurk.
Sea Kings are the largest species of fish in the sea. While some are gentle and will not attack humans, subsisting on small shrimp, fish, and seaweed, most are ferocious beasts and will launch attacks on passing ships and humans.
Jinbe warned everyone: “Don’t let the Sea Kings destroy our ship, or we’ll all end up in the sea.”
