The power of the JD association is expanding, and the demon group that attacks the slave fleet is also expanding. The problem of insufficient personnel is through the captured villains, replacing the members who have completed ideological transformation in the Qiaoshang Kingdom, and is constantly being replenished. It can barely support the current expansion speed of JD association.
However, considering that we will enter the Grand Route in the future, it is necessary to open up new channels for recruiting manpower, especially high-end talents. The JD Association is already in contact with Impel City.
In addition to the real criminals, there are also some talents who can be imprisoned in the city, but the behavior of these talents does not conform to the rules of this world.
For example, some adventurers who go to sea at will without holding a sea voyage certificate will be treated as criminals similar to pirates if they are encountered by the navy and found to be illegally going to sea.
This may sound unbelievable, but in this world where pirates are raging, this is a law recognized by the world government to restrict pirates.
The purpose is to prevent some pirates from fishing in troubled waters. When they encounter the navy, they change their flags and act as merchant ships. When they encounter merchant ships, they directly transform into pirates. Things like this happen.
Therefore, it is not surprising that ships traveling on the sea encounter identity checks by some navy patrol ships.
While this makes it easier for pirates to be caught, it also makes it easier for some false accusations to appear, and some people who are not pirates will be arrested as pirates.
Of course, in today's era of rising pirates, this law of checking identity at sea is somewhat ineffective, because too many people go to sea to become pirates, making it impossible for the navy to catch them, and Impel Down City is already overcrowded. .
Therefore, when faced with a force that has a cooperative relationship with the navy and plans to pay money to capture some prisoners with less serious crimes in Push City, the current warden of Push City just thought about it and decided to turn a blind eye. Close one eye, but only for prisoners on the first three floors underground.
As for the lower-level prisoners, they are basically big pirates with a bounty of over 50 million. Their crimes are enough to kill them a hundred times. Unless there is the highest amnesty order from the World Government, Impel Down has no right to make the decision to release them. .
As for why they didn't kill those criminals who deserved to be shot a hundred times, the warden of Impel Down didn't know.
Because there have been such regulations since the city of Impel was built, maybe death is too easy for those big criminals, so they are allowed to live on the edge of life and death.
Wu Ke had a different view on this. Who should be imprisoned rather than killed directly? Naturally, those who are better off being imprisoned are better than being killed.
There are strange things like Devil Fruit in this world. After the Devil Fruit user dies, the power of the Devil Fruit will flow out of the host's body, float to other places, and randomly combine with a fruit to become a new Devil Fruit.
If this was a world of peaceful and prosperous times, those with devil fruit abilities might not do anything too outrageous.
But this is a chaotic world. In other words, the possibility of a new devil fruit-powered user becoming a new great pirate is far more likely than becoming a law-abiding person.
Just imagine, you go through all the hard work to kill a powerful Devil Fruit user, only to have another guy with the same ability appear from an unknown place within a few years, or maybe even a few months, to cause trouble. Who can bear this?
Wu Ke seriously doubted that Impel Down City was a department established by the World Government to detain those with powerful Devil Fruit abilities.
Of course, it's possible that he was wrong. This is a place that simply makes life worse than death for serious criminals. It wastes time, effort and money for no other reason than to torture criminals. Impel Down City even has a very excellent medical team. Just to serve some serious criminals, specifically to ensure the safety of those criminals.
"I heard that the security of Impel Down City is the best in the world. No prisoner has ever escaped from your prison. No matter what kind of fruit ability users the prisoners have, it is the same here?"
"Of course, everyone who enters here
All prisoners must wear Shanghai stone handcuffs and undergo the most stringent physical examination just in case. To be honest, if you were not the guest brought here by Vice Admiral Hero Garp, we might not even touch your ass here. They will all be opened for you to check thoroughly, not just for you to take off your coat. "
"Can I find out which fruit-ability users you have here?"
"Do you want to catch them?"
The warden of Impel Down frowned a little.
"That's another price."
He said.
"I just want to know that we don't necessarily want to recruit those people. Moreover, we also have certain requirements for the character of those we want to recruit. They must pass the interview in person. Well, do you mind giving me a Let’s interview those criminals in the room, right?”
"Okay, I have a list here of people with abilities on the first three floors of the prison. I will ask Magellan to cooperate with you in bringing the prisoners here. I will leave this reception room for you to use as an interview room."
The warden was quite young, and he was a little tired after coming out to receive the guests in person. He waved to his deputy to replace him, and then left to rest.
"I am Magellan, and I will take over as the warden to receive you."
A muscular man stood up. The horns on his head looked somewhat similar to those of a demon. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the man's stomach made some strange rumbling sounds, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Your face doesn't look very good. Is there something wrong?"
"I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. If you want me to do something, please do it as soon as possible."
Magellan replied with difficulty.
He is a person with Poison Fruit ability, and he is a very poisonous person.
The breath he exhales is poisonous, and it often poisons the food that comes to his mouth. This is a situation beyond his control.
Therefore, every time he eats poisonous food, he will suffer from diarrhea.
Of course, Magellan is still very young and his body can still resist. He can still endure the turmoil in his belly for a short period of time.
"Fine."
Wu Ke looked through the list of ability users provided by Impel Down City like a menu. The rows of different Devil Fruit abilities were just like delicacies placed in front of a hungry man.
"Let's see, these ability users all have good abilities, but the main problem is their character. Why don't you arrange for them to line up and come to my place for an interview?"
Magellan: "???"
"The interview may take some time. During this period, you don't need to stay here. Just arrange for some people to watch."
"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements!"
Magellan walked quickly. After hearing that there was no need to guard here, he immediately went out to make arrangements.
Criminals with fruit abilities enter one by one and come out one by one.
Occasionally, a few will be selected and put into other cells.
As for the guys who were not selected, the devil fruits in their bodies were also taken away through a series of operations such as soul grabbing, fruit separation, and soul insertion.
Wu Ke is like an emotionless Devil Fruit peeling machine, but this can be regarded as waste utilization. Those criminals with fruit abilities stay in Impel Down City. They have no chance to use Devil Fruit abilities anyway, so they might as well take out the demons in their bodies. Contribute the fruits and leave them to those in need outside to eat.
"Although whether a Devil Fruit is strong or not depends on how the Devil Fruit user uses it, a powerful Devil Fruit can determine the lower limit of a Devil Fruit user. Natural-type ones have the highest limit, followed by Superman-type ones, and animal-type ones. lowest.
Most of the ones you got are animal-type devil fruits, and there are also some not-so-good superhuman-type fruits, but none of the natural-type ones..."
Garp shook his head, feeling that Wu Ke had no use in using these useless devil fruits.
"Trash is just a treasure that has made mistakes, just like this devil fruit that turns a person into a frog that cannot swim if eaten.
Its rule is to become a green
Frog, but I can intercept the dynamic vision of having a frog, and reduce the negative effects of the curse of the sea by reducing the benefit part of the fruit. From a landlubber who cannot swim, to a situation where touching sea water will cause some uncomfortable psychological reactions.
The remaining part can also be used as a curse prop. I can use it to turn you into a frog that doesn't even have dynamic vision. "
"Can Devil Fruits still be used to do this kind of thing?"
"Why not? Devil Fruit is essentially a manifestation of rules with cursed properties. It allows the person who eats it to gain the power of rules, and at the same time, it also gives that person the power to face the sea. curse.
If I use it simply as a cursed item, I can strip out the beneficial rules inside, and then use the remaining curses and harmful rules as an attack to hit others' bodies, and the effect will be the same as forcing it. It's almost like putting a devil fruit in someone's mouth. "
"Then this trick isn't very shameful. Taking a bad Devil Fruit can directly lower the lower limit of a strong person. If that strong person himself is a Devil Fruit ability user, wouldn't it be wrong if the new Devil Fruit ability enters the body? Can someone just explode to death?"
Using a Devil Fruit as a weapon and stuffing it into the mouth of someone with Devil Fruit powers was an attack method that Garp had never thought of before.
However, due to his sufficient domineering strength and the fact that Devil Fruits are not cheap, this image ultimately only existed in imagination and was not put into actual action by Garp.
But what I didn't expect is that now I can actually see tricks like this, and it is more powerful and reliable than using Devil Fruit to trick others, with the ability to attack by releasing curses.
"It's not that simple. The devil fruit in your world is a strange product composed of the power of thoughts. In other words, as long as you have the ability to resist the power of thoughts, that is, if you have enough haki ability, as long as you maintain the haki covering your whole body, you can If you directly eat a Devil Fruit, its regular power will not take effect on you, let alone resist my attack moves that directly extract the regular curse from the Devil Fruit."
Seeing Garp's serious expression, Wu Ke comforted him.
"Is it true? If you maintain your dominance and eat the fruit, you won't become an esper?"
Garp said, his domineering energy wrapped around his whole body, and then he directly picked up an animal-type orangutan fruit next to him, put it to his mouth and started chewing it.
"Yue, it tastes terrible."
Although he found the Devil Fruit unpalatable, he still ate the whole fruit.
"Hey, it seems true. I didn't turn into a gorilla?!"
he said with some surprise.
"Of course, I have studied Devil Fruits, but you may have to maintain your full-body Haki state until the Devil Fruit in your stomach is digested by you, or until it is pulled out by you.
Otherwise, once the domineering entanglement is cancelled, you will immediately gain the ability to transform into a gorilla due to the Devil Fruit in your belly. "
Wu Ke reminded kindly.
Garp: "???"
Pushing into the toilet on the surface of the city, Magellan had just washed his hands and came out after urinating his stomach, when he saw the domineering Garp running over with a tissue.
He passed by him and rushed into the toilet. Not long after he rushed into the toilet, Magellan heard the sound of "Aha" gathering energy and exerting force outside. The sound was powerful and loud.
"As expected of a naval hero, even pooping is different. Well, the opponent must have had a domineering attitude all over his body just now. Is this some unique toilet secret technique?!"
By the time Capra came back with the toilet paper, Wu Ke had almost finished work. A large number of not very powerful Devil Fruits had been collected. Wu Ke was discussing with Magellan about paying ransoms to some selected prisoners. And the JD Association is planning to send people to push forward the city to carry out ideological education for the prisoners here.
"By the way, Impel Down is here, do you want to see my achievements?"
Garp asked breathlessly, but he invited Wu Ke to visit the lower levels of Impel Down City.
"Lieutenant General Garp, isn't this against the rules?"
Magellan tried to stop it.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to show off to the young people that I have captured the most vicious criminals. There won't be any safety issues. You can ask your warden for instructions."
Magellan had no choice but to ask for instructions.
"Want to take people to visit the prison on the bottom floor? Since it's Garp, then let him. He caught most of the criminals on the bottom floor with his own hands."
The warden agreed with Garp's words and gave him temporary authority, without even sending anyone to follow him.
"Are you creating a chance for me to get some Devil Fruits?"
On the sixth level of infinite hell, after being sent down by a warden and leaving, Wu Ke looked at Garp and asked.
"Well, among the big pirates I captured, there are some who have powerful Devil Fruit abilities. If their Devil Fruits are separated from them and formed outside, once they are obtained by unknown people, they may become another ocean. When thieves and big criminals appear, instead of doing this, it is better to let you get their fruits, and some of their abilities will be very useful for the future development of the association."
"Garp, is it Garp? I heard your voice!"
In the infinite hell, a man's roar came from a dark prison.
"Hey, isn't this a golden lion? Why are you even tied around the neck?"
Garp took a closer look and found that he was an acquaintance, so he couldn't help but say hello.
"Don't be complacent. If it weren't for my bad luck, I would have escaped from prison long ago."
The golden lion roared.
"Okay, I don't think you can escape from prison in this life."
Garp said, pointing at him.
"Look, this one has pretty good fruit abilities."
After grabbing the soul, pumping the fruit, and fluttering the fruit, stuff the soul back.
"Why did I faint? Garp, what did you just do to me?"
The golden lion noticed something was wrong and questioned him.
Unfortunately, Garp ignored him and took Wu Ke to find the next fruit-ability user.
"The King of Evil, the most evil criminal captured by the World Government, and the owner of the Island Fruit."
Seize the soul, take the fruit, and reinsert the soul.
After walking around Impel Down City's Infinite Hell, Wu Ke had seven more Devil Fruits in his hand, three of which were of the natural type, two of the superhuman type, and two of the animal type, but they were of the phantom type.
"Unfortunately, except for the sixth floor, there are surveillance cameras, so it's difficult to get the devil fruits from the prisoners on the fourth and fifth floors."
"There are enough devil fruits. We can use them to cultivate a group of association members."
Wu Ke was quite content. This time he asked Garp to take him over to Push City. He took an estimated nearly a thousand Devil Fruits.
Although most Devil Fruits, in the eyes of people with Garp's strength, are garbage that must be pulled out after eating them, but for ordinary people, they are actually quite useful, even ordinary animal-type fruits that are not very powerful. fruit.
