From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 174: Impelton’s Specialty: Imported Pirates!
In Magellan's office, Ian and Tina were already wearing gas masks.

As for Cap and Bane, neither of them wore them.

Bane is used to this kind of tiny toxin, which can be directly absorbed by darkness. Cap, seeing that Bane doesn't wear it, has to hold on too. As a senior, he can't lose face! Be more energetic!

"Director Magellan, this is the order that Marshal Zhan Guo gave us earlier. We hope that the Impelton Prison can cooperate with us." Ian stepped forward and placed a document on Magellan's desk, then quickly withdrew and put some distance between them again.

Her fearful behavior seemed to make Magellan very sad. He said with a somewhat melancholy expression: "Sure enough, a guy like me will never be favored by girls."

His sad look made Ain feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, Magellan just sighed casually and did not remain depressed. He opened the document and began to read.

Ben looked around the office.

The entire office is actually not complicated. Apart from the desk and bookcase, there is only a coffee table and a set of sofas, nothing else.

The most eye-catching thing was a small independent room with a poisonous skull on the door. As if noticing Bane's curious look, Cap quickly reminded him, "That's the scariest place in the whole of Impelton. Don't be curious about it."

"The scariest place?" Bane was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Isn't the scariest place the legendary sixth level of infinite hell? What kind of room is this? Is it the laboratory where Director Magellan mixes toxins?"

"No." Karp shook his head seriously.

Then, under Bane's gaze, Cap said in a very low voice: "That's Magellan's private bathroom."

"Ah, this." Bane didn't know what to say for a moment, and his expression became stiff.

If you say so, it is indeed scary. After all, it is full of highly poisonous excrement!

I think if there was a riot in Impelton, Magellan would just need to take out the mop, dip it hard in the toilet, and rush out to be invincible!

"That's really scary. If we fight here, even Kaido will probably surrender." After Bane came back to his senses, he nodded seriously.

Bane and Cap were talking in a mysterious way here. Magellan seemed to be looking at some documents, but he actually heard their conversation. A hint of embarrassment appeared on his devilish face, but he couldn't show it, so he just quietly pretended not to hear it.

After a few minutes, Magellan finished reading the documents in his hand. He then looked up as if nothing had happened and said to Bane, "Lieutenant General Bane, I understand the Marshal's order. It just so happens that the cells in the sixth level of Infinite Hell are a bit crowded. I was considering whether to clean them up."

As the warden of Impelton, Magellan holds great power here.

How high was it? So high that he had the power to purge all the prisoners in Impelton!

That’s right, from the first to the sixth level, Magellan has the power of life and death over tens of thousands of prisoners in Impelton!

"Is the prison crowded now?" Bane asked with a little interest.

"Yes." Hearing this, Magellan rubbed his forehead with a headache, and then said: "Since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, the number of villains on the sea has increased, and the burden on the prison is also very heavy. To be honest, at present, we in Impelton have to accept at least 300 prisoners every week. If there is any major incident, it may even exceed 1,000. Especially not long ago, after the war in Marinford ended, the number of remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates that we in Impelton accepted was as high as more than 13,000. For this reason, I had to be ruthless and clean up some of the prisoners who were no longer wanted here."

Deputy Director Hannibal also introduced: "In fact, we have adjusted the survival difficulty of the entire prison to the highest value. A large number of prisoners die 'naturally' every day, but even so, it is still not enough."

Bane listened to these words and recalled his impression of the situation in Impelton. Indeed, the living conditions here were very extreme, with all kinds of torture and harsh environment, which meant that for many prisoners, coming in was equivalent to entering a death countdown.

But even so, Impelton's burden is still heavy, which shows how huge the number of these evil parties on the sea is.

It also indirectly reflects that the navy is very efficient in this regard, and its work in suppressing the great pirate era wave is relatively successful.

"Except for prisoners who are given special care, most prisoners will not survive for more than a month here," Magellan said in a heavy tone. "The frequent deaths of prisoners, coupled with the isolated environment and high-pressure atmosphere here, have caused many prison guards and even management to suffer from mental illnesses. Even now, the warden Xiliu has been imprisoned by Director Magellan for wantonly killing and torturing prisoners." Hannibal added.

Hearing this, Bane couldn't help but nodded. Thinking about it this way, it seemed understandable that Xiluo had gradually become a psychopath here. After all, this place was indeed a bit scary. It was not an environment where a normal person could stay for a long time.

They are in frequent contact with death, and the prisoners here have no human rights. No one cares if they die, and there are all kinds of torture. Over time, they will naturally lose respect for life and become perverted, which is simply reasonable.

"By the way, are all the prisoners imprisoned here sentenced to death?" Bane asked after thinking for a moment.

"Of course not." Magellan shook his head and said, "In fact, the proportion of death row prisoners and other serious criminals here is not high. Only the fifth floor and the sixth floor, which is not open to the public, are used to detain these people. The vast majority of prisoners in the other prison levels, including the fourth floor, are ordinary prisoners. After being tried on the Judicial Island, they have clear regulations on the length of their sentences, which are usually three to five years, and more than ten years for more serious cases."

That's right, this is reasonable. It is impossible for all pirates on the sea to be sentenced to death once they are caught. Many pirates are forced to do so. Some of them have just gone out to sea, hoisted a flag, and have not done anything evil before they are arrested.

There are even more who are part-timers. They may be fishermen or merchant ships going out to sea on weekdays, but when they see the opportunity, they become "pirates". There are extreme cases of these people. In order not to expose their identities, they are often more brutal than real pirates, and it is common for them to kill all the targets they robbed.

But there are also many people who only rob money and do not harm lives.

In short, the portrait of the pirate group is also very complex, and it is impossible to say that all of them are death row prisoners.

"But, as I said just now, the survival rate here is very low. Even if you are only sentenced to one year in prison, basically no one can live to see 'freedom'. This is one of the reasons why Pelton has such a terrifying and cruel reputation," Magellan smacked his lips.

This is the really scary thing about Impelton. Judicial Island has sentenced you to one year in prison. In theory, as long as you serve the one-year sentence honestly, you can regain your freedom, but what about in reality?

You come to Impelton and you might not survive a week!

This will also create a vicious cycle, that is, the stronger and more brutal the pirates are, and the more serious the criminals are, the more they can withstand the survival pressure here. On the contrary, those ordinary pirates, although their sentences are not long, will die quickly.

How can you get out of prison if you die?

It can only be thrown out and used as bait for sea kings.

Perhaps it is because the death rate in Impelton is too high, and a large number of corpses need to be "buried at sea" every day, which attracts a large number of sea kings to build nests here, which indirectly enhances the safety factor of Impelton.

After learning about these situations, Bane thought of his 'G-6' naval base which was still under construction, which needed a large number of workers!

His original plan was to capture pirates directly from the New World and enslave them, letting them undergo labor reform and help him build a just cause.

But catching pirates is still rather troublesome and involves many steps. Now let's look at Impelton. If we could directly "import" pirates from Impelton, wouldn't that be a lot more convenient?

This would not only reduce the heavy burden of prisoners in Impelton, but also allow those pirates who have not committed crimes punishable by death to create the value of justice. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
After thinking about this, Bane couldn't help but ask, "Director Magellan, have you ever considered contracting out the pirates here to relieve Impelton's pressure?"

"Ah?" Magellan was very surprised and confused when he heard this.

Contracted out? Pirates?
I can understand it when read separately, but what does it mean when read together?!
"Well, Lieutenant General Bane, I don't quite understand what you mean." Magellan said with some confusion.

"It's like this. Recently our headquarters is planning to build some new naval bases in the New World. I wonder if you have heard about this? And I happen to be in charge of the leading work of one of the naval bases. However, due to the large-scale construction, our navy lacks sufficient labor. So I was thinking, if conditions permit, can I use pirates to replace these labors? For example, I can directly import some pirates from Impelton to work as laborers in the New World." Bane grinned and explained to Magellan with a smile.

"Ah? Imported pirates!?" Magellan was even more confused.

Are there any pirates still imported?
