Chapter 529: Man of the Rain

    Magen released the poison cloud, causing the invading group to be poisoned. However, the cost was that he was consecutively struck by two shes from Ian!


    The deep purple poison cloud and mist, though capable of blocking the vision of most people, did not include Ian. His En Field enveloped the entire fourth level of the prison, allowing him to keenly perceive every move Magen made.


    Afternding these two strikes on Magen, Ian also noticed something. Magen seemed not to use Armament Haki. When struck by Ian, he didn’t employ any Haki for defense, relying solely on his own resilience.


    This puzzled Ian. With Magen’s strength, it was entirely possible for him to withstand an admiral, and most marine admirals would use Armament Haki. It was strange that Magen didn’t.


    Little did Ian know, Magen did possess Haki, but it was a bit awkward. Initially awakening his Haki, Magen obtained the power of Observation Haki.


    The effects of Observation Haki, when well-trained, could be formidable. However, due to the nature of Magen’s Devil Fruit ability, he often suffered from stomach issues, spending up to ten hours a day in the restroom. How much time could he spare to cultivate his Haki strength?


    Moreover, Magen was an individual with a preference for confined spaces. This made it even less likely for him to engage in physical activity.


    Coupled with his huge size, mobility was not his forte. In simple terms, one word could describe him: cumbersome!


    This was the awkward reason why his Haki was notmonly used. Although Observation Haki allowed him to sense the movements of his opponents, Magencked the speed to effectively evade attacks.This is Magen’s inherent weakness. The powers of his Devil Fruit make his entire body highly toxic, and he doesn’t fear any close-quartersbatants. Originally, if he could develop his Observation Haki well, he wouldn’t be afraid of long-range attacks either. In that case, Magen’s strength could easily reach the level of an Admiral.


    Over the years, Impel Down has housed many dangerous criminals, some of whom possessed Haki, but Magen still managed to subdue them. However, now facing someone like Ian, who is both fast, has Haki, and isn’t afraid of his deadly toxins, Magen suddenly finds it challenging.


    He has taken a total of two shes, but Magen has managed to endure them with his own body. However, his body is now covered in blood, and the injuries are severe.


    The two shes Iannded on Magen just now were executed with Yasuo’s Steel Tempest. After these two strikes, Ian swiftly withdrew his sword and swung it in front of him.


    Whoosh! A rapidly spinning tornado immediately swept toward Magen’s location!


    Magen’s poison cloud is most effective in enclosed spaces, but its nemesis is wind. Ian’s only wind-based ability, Yasuo’s whirlwind, was used without hesitation at this moment. Ian even deliberately increases the Nen output to enhance the whirlwind’s power, attempting to see if he can disperse the pervasive purple poison mist.


    In the midst of his poison mist, Magen remains unaffected and can see Ian’s actions clearly. When Ian unleashes the whirlwind, Magen immediately senses trouble. His body, covered in toxic substances, swiftly slid into a long poisonous dragon, attempting to escape through a poison tunnel. However, Ian’s whirlwind was fast and fierce. Magen’s body barely slid a short distance within the poison tunnel before the whirlwind caught him!


    This whirlwind directly lifted Magen, spiraling his massive body into the sky. Ian originally instinctively wanted to use Yasuo’s ultimate “LAST BREATH” to chase and kill Magen, but suddenly he felt something was amiss and quickly stopped his movements.


    Last Breath has a motion of a heavy downward sh. If used under normal circumstances, this motion would undoubtedly cause significant damage to Magen. However, the current battlefield is on a bridge, and if Magen were cut down, it might potentially copse, endangering everyone. Below is a pool ofva, and if the bridge copses, everyone will fall. Ian alone couldn’t save so many people, so he had to halt his actions for now.


    Despite this, Magen, lifted by the fierce wind, fell down in a chaotic manner.


    “Lightning Spear!” Ian casually threw out a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Magen. Just as Magen struggled to get up, he was struck by the Lightning Spear. The spear of lightning pierced through his thigh with a sizzling sound, and Magen, once again, fell to the ground, covered in burnt marks.


    Ian looked around and noticed that after his whirlwind swept through, the poisonous mist in the surroundings seemed to disperse somewhat. However, it was a bit toote; Luffy and the others had already copsed. Only Law, Franky, and Brook were still holding on. Brook was unaffected due to theck of a respiratory system, but Law and Franky were nearing their limits.


    Observing the situation, Ian immediately understood that Magen must be taken down quickly to save them.


    On this bridge, using powerful sword strikes was not feasible. So, Ian swiftly appeared next to Magen, stepping on his chest, and raised the Senbonzakura to deliver a decisive strike.


    However, at this moment, Ian suddenly felt a sense of danger. He immediately leaped away from Magen’s body. At the same time, a Flying sh swept past from under his feet!


    “Who is it?” Ian looked towards the direction where the Flying sh came from.


    At the end of the bridge in front, a figure slowly emerged from the mist of the poisonous cloud. He wore a military cap nted on his head, a crisp ck uniform with a white cor cape behind him, high leather boots on his feet, and a field sword hanging from his waist that emanated a red glow.


    Although the person’s face was covered with a gas mask, Ian immediately recognized him. He frowned; isn’t this the Head Jailer Shiryu?


    Ian thought this guy was still confined. Who released him?


    “Hehehe! Magen…” Shiryu appeared with a sinister smile. “See, without me, you can’t do anything…”


    Magen lifted his head from the ground, gazing at Shiryu with aplex expression. “Who released you?”


    “Who else could it be? Your ambitious subordinate, Hannybal!” Perhaps due to the gas mask, Shiryu’s voice sounded muffled as he mocked, “But I didn’t expect that guy to look that weird…”


    Shiryu was referring to Hannybal’s appearance after the modification by Law’s Devil Fruit.


    “Where is he then? Why didn’t he appear with you?” Magen inquired.


    “To deal with someone like the ck Dragon Ian, he’s of no use. So, I had him stay on Level 6 on standby!” Shiryu replied.


    However, at this moment, outside the prison cell on Level 6 where Shiryu was held, Hannyabal and several prison guards were lying in a pool of blood. It was far from the standby situation that Shiryu imed.


    Initially, Hannybal was following Magen’s orders to transfer Shichibukai Jinbe and Crocodile from the sixth level. However, when he arrived on the sixth level, it coincided with the battle between Ian and Magen. At that moment, Hannybal happened to see the scene where Magen was struck by Ian’s first attack through the surveince.


    In Hannybal’s mind, although he had always wanted to take Magen’s position as the Chief Warden, he knew that Magen was formidable. For twenty years, he had suppressed countless prisoners in the prison, always emerging unscathed.


    However, this impression copsed when Magen was injured by Ian’s attack. Hannyabal witnessed Magen being wounded for the first time, and in the footage, the Shichibukai, the ck Dragon Ian, showed no fear of Magen’s toxins!


    Suddenly, Hannyabal became disoriented. He was not a fool and realized that if things continued like this, Magen would inevitably be defeated by Ian.


    Just at this critical moment, he saw Chief Warden Shiryu, who was imprisoned.


    Originally, Hannyabal did not have the authority to release him. Shiryu was arrested by Magen for indiscriminately killing prisoners. Without Magen’s orders, no one could release him.


    However… if Chief Warden Magen was killed, what use were his orders?


    Moreover, Shiryu also knew what had happened above. So, he persuaded Hannybal, who was already disoriented, and with Magen presumably defeated by Ian, Hannybal ended up believing Shiryu’s words and released him. Hannybal hoped that Shiryu could assist Magen and repel Ian, but little did he know that Shiryu’s early release also led to Hannybal’s own premature demise!
