Jin's words were like a spark falling into a powder keg, instantly triggering a violent commotion.
The pirates' faces changed drastically, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
Panic spread through the crowd like a plague, and the air was filled with anxiety and unease, making everyone restless.
Every pirate knew that the Five Elders would never come alone; they represented the most powerful force of the World Government.
Once they descended, any chance of escape would be completely sealed off, and they didn't have much time left.
"Quick! Evacuate!"
Someone shouted hoarsely, their voice filled with desperate fear.
Several powerful pirates also looked tense, their eyes meeting, filled with suppressed anxiety.
They had to find a way out in a short amount of time; only by leaving here quickly could they have a chance of survival.
They knew that this was their only chance to escape; once they alerted the World Government, it would be completely impossible to leave here again.
The entire prison fell into a state of commotion and chaos, with the sounds of footsteps, shouts, and weapons clashing incessantly.
However, all the chaos had nothing to do with Jin.
His gaze remained coldly fixed on Blackbeard.
Jin's eyes were filled with ruthless coldness; he knew that among all the pirates here, Blackbeard was the only one who posed a real threat to him.
The others could be let go for the time being, and some even had value for exploitation, but Blackbeard alone—he could never let him leave.
This man's evil was so pure and deep, without any bottom line, and he would resort to any means to achieve his goals, without any scruples.
Blackbeard was like a malignant tumor to the world, and continuing to let him go would only bring endless disasters to the world.
"I said, if you want to leave here, it's every man for himself."
Jin's voice was cold and decisive, as if it were a judgment on everyone.
Before he finished speaking, he ignored the others, his body suddenly rushing forward like an arrow released from a bow, directly pouncing towards Blackbeard.
Blackbeard instantly felt the overwhelming pressure, and his arrogant smile gradually disappeared at this moment, the muscles on his face twitching slightly, and a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
But before he could react, Jin's fist had already come crashing down.
That fist, like thunder, was wrapped in powerful Conqueror's Haki, its momentum like a flood, directly hitting Blackbeard's face.
The air seemed to let out a muffled sound, and the strong impact was like a mountain collapsing and the ground splitting, instantly hitting Blackbeard's face.
"Bang!"
This blow hit Blackbeard's face heavily, and the power was as strong as a hammer falling, directly shattering the grin on his face.
Blackbeard's eyes widened, and his entire body was sent flying backward by the huge force, and the severe pain instantly swept through his nerves.
His face instantly twisted into a painful expression, and he let out a miserable scream, his voice filled with pain and disbelief.
"Ahhhhh!"
Blackbeard howled, his voice hoarse and miserable, like a wounded beast.
He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the bright red blood was mixed with several teeth, scattering and splashing on the ground, staining the dark prison red.
Blackbeard staggered and fell to the ground, his palm instinctively covering his face, and blood kept gushing out from between his fingers.
His eyes were filled with resentment and anger, but even more so with unsuppressed pain.
He never thought that Jin's attack would be so sharp and deadly, and the power of that punch made him unable to resist at all.
His confident smile had completely disappeared at this moment.
Jin's punch to Blackbeard was like a fuse, completely breaking the pirates' last psychological defense.
The chaotic prison was instantly shrouded in fear and despair, and the pirates understood that continuing to stay here would be a dead end.
Under the shadow of the Five Elders' impending arrival, everyone no longer hesitated to fight, and turned around and ran wildly towards the prison exit.
The sound of footsteps echoed like thunder, and shouts and footsteps intertwined into a chaotic melody.
Some of the more clever pirates quickly realized that they couldn't escape this isolated prison on their own.
Impel Down was located on an isolated island at sea, surrounded by endless seas, and beneath the deep sea, there were countless powerful Sea Kings lurking, and it was simply wishful thinking to cross this ocean by one's own strength.
Their eyes turned to the powerful and prestigious pirates—Golden Lion, Kaido—these powerhouses were their only hope of escaping.
Some pirates had already prostrated themselves at the feet of Golden Lion and Kaido, eagerly vowing allegiance: "Take us away! We are willing to serve you, just asking for a way out!"
Golden Lion's eyes flickered slightly, and his sharp gaze swept over the pirates in front of him.
The prisoners in Impel Down were no ordinary people. The pirates who could be locked up in this hellish prison all had considerable strength, and they were all ruthless and decisive.
And now, Golden Lion and Kaido were just lone wolves. Although they each possessed great strength, the current situation was complicated, and they also needed enough subordinates to consolidate their power.
Kaido's gaze coldly swept over the pirates who swore allegiance to him, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, but then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a cruel smile.
He knew that taking in these pirates would not only enhance his power, but also find more opportunities in this chaos.
He nodded slightly, indicating his tacit agreement.
Golden Lion didn't say much, just waved his hand, signaling the pirates who swore allegiance to follow them.
Thus, several powerhouses quickly organized the escape, each with their new subordinates.
"Follow!"
With Kaido's order, the surrounding pirates immediately followed him closely.
Golden Lion rose into the air, and with his ability, the pirates around him floated into the air, as if being pulled by invisible ropes, and quickly moved towards the exit of Impel Down.
Although the Navy in the prison tried their best to resist, and even Zephyr personally went into battle to try to stop them, the defense line quickly collapsed in the face of the joint impact of these powerful pirates like Kaido and Golden Lion.
The pirates' strength and madness made Zephyr feel棘手, and even he could not suppress these unruly pirate leaders in a short time.
"Retreat!" Zephyr said in a deep voice, his brow furrowed and cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
He understood that he could not fight so many powerful enemies alone at this moment.
Even with amazing combat power, he could only temporarily retreat and wait for more support.
A gust of wind swept past, and Golden Lion, Kaido and others each left with a group of subordinates.
With their disappearance, only a mess remained in Impel Down: the ground was full of traces of battle, broken walls, collapsed prisons, and those helpless Navy soldiers were struggling to get up from this catastrophe.
The chaos in the prison seemed to have finally come to an end, but the oppressive atmosphere still lingered, as if reminding everyone that this catastrophe was far from over.
