One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 229 Yamato vs. Shiryu of the Rain

"what!!"

The intense pain caused Hanafza to scream in agony.

"Get the hell out of here!!!"

Hanafza, with its electric claws and tail, lashed out at the hat-wearing, boot-faced prison guard.

"As expected of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user!"

Shiryu of the Rain smiled coldly, spun around, drew his sword, and instantly jumped back, dodging the dying counterattack of the wounded beast.

Seeing the surprisingly fierce lizardmen, he became even more excited.

This is definitely a pretty good target for torture.

This is much more exciting than those listless prisoners.

"This is a demon sword?!"

Hanafza watched as blood gushed from his pierced abdomen. The knife had not only pierced through his electric blue combat suit and his lizard scales, but also carried an eerie power that made it difficult to stop the bleeding.

"You have some knowledge; you actually know that my Thunderstorm Blade is a demonic blade."

"I think I recognize you. You are the former Shichibukai, the Lizard King Hanafza?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shiryu of the Rain's eyes. He remembered that this former Shichibukai had already joined the Luo Ji World Group, hadn't he?

Could it be...?

Is the Luo Ji World Group invading Impel Down?

This is not good!

"Khanafza, what are you yelling about?!"

A white-haired woman carrying a spiked club rushed over.

"Are you injured?"

"A powerful enemy?"

Yamato's eyes lit up as he looked at the cold-blooded man wielding the scarlet demon sword.

"Hey, are you Shiryu of the Rain, one of the impregnable walls of Impel Down?"

Yamato had heard Luo Ji mention the two strongest members of Impel Down: Magellan, the user of the Venom-Venom Fruit, and Shiryu, the Great Swordsman of the Rain.

The bloodthirsty man in front of me, exuding a sharp aura, looked exactly like Shiryu, the Great Swordsman of the Rain.

"Demon Princess Yamato, bounty 2.399 billion Berries!"

A hint of seriousness crept onto Shiryu of the Rain's bloodthirsty, icy face. It really was the Luo Ji World Group invading Impel Down.

"Haha, I really ran into her!"

"Come! Let's fight!"

Without hesitation, Yamato unleashed his Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, wielding his spiked club in both hands, and charged at the ruthless great swordsman.

"Hmph! Then I'll see if you, this great pirate, are worth the bounty!"

Shiryu of the Rain's eyes were icy cold. He gripped the demon sword Raiyu with both hands, gathering his strength, and charged towards Yamato without fear.

"clang!"

The spiked club [A-Jian] and the demon sword Lei Yu collided violently, instantly unleashing a violent gust of air that swept in all directions, causing countless prisoners to shout excitedly.

Behind Shiryu of the Rain, the ground was plowed into crumbling furrows by staves of staff energy, while behind Yamato, the ground was cleaved into dense, sharp furrows by sword energy.

"So strong!"

The severely injured Hanafza crawled and rolled away, running out of the area where the two were fighting.

Upon seeing the group behind him, he rushed over.

"Mansherry, help me, I'm hurt!"

Hanafza showed no signs of strength at this moment and immediately begged the small boat doctor Mansherry for help. The wound that Shiryu of the Rain had stabbed him in was too painful.

Moreover, when Shiryu of the Rain drew his sword, it spun out, tearing apart his intestines.

The evil power of that demonic sword also suppressed part of his recovery ability, making it difficult for him to stop the bleeding and recover.

"what happened?"

Bonnie looked at the disheveled Hanafza with a strange glint in her eyes.

This guy charged the fastest, but ended up being seriously injured so quickly, which really disgraced the Luo Ji World Group.

No wonder he's the worst of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"It was that treacherous bastard Shiryu of the Rain who suddenly attacked me!"

Hanafza tried to salvage his reputation by admitting that he had indeed been ambushed by Shiryu of the Rain, otherwise he wouldn't have been so quickly and severely injured.

"You were too reckless and careless! This is Impel Down, and you still weren't on high alert."

Bonnie watched as Mansherry rushed to treat Hanafza, and couldn't help but continue to complain.

They're invading someone else's territory, and yet they still carelessly get ambushed. What's there to say about that?

"That prison guard was indeed full of sharpness and malice."

Yi Xiao strolled around the first level of the Crimson Lotus Hell, looking at the prisoners held there, before walking down to the second level of the Beast Hell amidst the prisoners' cries for help.

The prisoners in the first level of Crimson Hell were merely pirate villains with bounties ranging from 1000 million to 2000 million Berries. In Issho's Observation Haki, there were not many evil beings who needed to be killed on the spot.

The second level, Beast Hell, holds criminals with bounties of 2000 to 3000 million Berries.

"Mr. Issho, could you please assist Yamato in suppressing this Shiryu of the Rain?"

Robin respectfully asked Yixiao, this kind and righteous uncle, for his help.

"It's alright, Yamato isn't that weak."

He smiled gently, but also stepped onto the battlefield, ready to swiftly resolve the battle when necessary.

After being treated by Princess Mansherry's healing fruit ability and eating some Blood Crystal Dandelion, Hanafza's gruesome penetrating wound in his abdomen is rapidly healing.

"Hehe~, I'm all better again! Thank you, Mansherry!"

Hanafza was lively and energetic again, and one couldn't help but admire the true strength of the Luo Ji World Group.

Princess Mansherry's Heal Fruit ability and Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability are both incredibly powerful healing abilities.

At this moment, Yamato was excitedly engaged in a fierce battle with Shiryu of the Rain, which caused the prisoners in the various cells of the Beast Hell to shout wildly.

They shouted for Shiryu of the Rain, that brutal warden, to be killed.

When Shiryu of the Rain sensed Issho's approach, the powerful aura instantly extinguished his desire to fight.

He found fighting a Daimato incredibly difficult, and if another one came along, he simply couldn't win.

Moreover, he excels at surprise attacks but is not good at prolonged battles or large-scale combat.

"Hehehe, I'm back! Shiryu!!"

Hanafza appeared behind Yixiao, his face regaining its previous arrogance and swagger.

Now that they are overwhelmingly powerful, how can we lose when the Flying Dragon is right in front of us?

They're going to win!

"Those monsters look pretty good, everyone help me catch them!"

When Xiaoyu saw the ferocious beasts in the Beast Hell, she was immediately overcome with a strong desire to subdue them.

"Alright! Everyone, come and help!"

Bonnie, Rebecca, and the other girls immediately responded to Jade's words, offering to help her tame all the wild beasts.

The gigantic bird with a mouthful of fangs, Basilisk; the lion with a human face, Maticola; and that combined monster, the Sphinx...

These monsters are all capable of easily taking down monsters with bounties of 30 to 40 million Berries.

Although it's not even as good as the Charizard I captured in Punk Hazard, it's better than nothing.

However, the wolves of the fifth level of extreme cold hell can chase after prisoners with bounties of hundreds of millions, even in large packs.

Many elite pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million have died in the jaws of these military wolves in the frigid hell.

If Xiaoyu could tame these bloodthirsty military wolves, that would be a good choice.

And it's unknown whether those failed-awakening jailer beasts can be tamed by Xiaoyu's dumpling.

The failed awakening of the Jailer Beast has made its bestial nature surpass its human nature, even inferior to artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruit users.

Tama's Dango Fruit ability can subdue artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruit users.
