One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 100, Level 7? Fusion Slot Unlocked!

Within the infinite hell, the prisoners had fallen completely silent.

They didn't say anything more, but silently watched the figure that was inspecting the area with Magellan.

This is especially true for those few 'legends' among single people.

They all stared intently at Roy, as if trying to pierce his body with their gazes.

However, Roy had no interest in paying attention to these stares.

because
[Analyzed Devil Fruits: Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit LV1, Fusion Fruit LV1, Island-Island Fruit LV1]

At this moment, the ever-increasing number of fruits in the Fruit Encyclopedia left him no time to pay attention to anything else.

Yes.

Roy knew very well that this was the place on the entire ocean where high-quality fruit was concentrated.

Aside from God Valley more than thirty years ago, the only other place that comes to mind is the sixth level of Impel Down, 'Infinite Hell'.

Not only are there rare Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits, but there are also several Paramecia-type Devil Fruits with extremely exaggerated effects.

This naturally pleased Roy – in fact, these fruits were Roy's core objective for this trip.

But it was precisely at this moment
"That's over there."

Roy stopped in his tracks, his pupils contracting slightly.

Because at this moment, he and Magellan had reached the deepest part of the entire sixth level.

There was no trace of any other prisoners here.

What appeared before them was only a huge, deep void.

"."

Roy frowned.

As mentioned before, Impel Down is a prison located in the sea, and the final level of Impel Down, 'Infinite Hell', is located at the bottom of the sea.

But how could there be such a huge cavity beneath the seabed?

He was certain that such a thing did not exist in the original work.

In addition, Roy could also see a cross-shaped pattern faintly visible at the edge of the huge cavity—the symbol of the World Government.

"Lieutenant General Roy."

At this moment, Magellan took the initiative to speak up, saying, "The inspection ends here; we cannot go any further."

"Can't we go any further?"

Upon hearing this, Roy's doubts naturally grew even stronger.

"Chief Magellan, what is this hole?"

Adhering to the principle of asking questions when you don't understand, Roy asked softly.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Bilos, standing beside the two, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Roy, kid—I asked you the same question back then, but the director at the time said I wasn't qualified to know."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something, and his expression froze.

Sure enough, the next moment he heard Magellan's reply: "Lieutenant General Roy, you have sufficient authority—according to regulations, I can tell you about it."

"but."

At this point, Magellan looked at Lieutenant General Bilos standing to the side.

The direction is quite clear.

Bilos: "."

The old man was speechless for a while, then puffed out his beard and glared, saying, "Fine, I won't listen! I won't listen, okay?"

After saying that, he walked away on his own.

Seeing this, Roy naturally understood.

Simply knowing this hollow information clearly requires 'General' level authority—even Lieutenant General Bilos, who has commanded the detention forces for many years and treats Impel Down like home, is not qualified.

However, Roy was different—although he was only a newly promoted candidate for general.

However, since Zephyr's authority had been transferred to him, he was instead qualified to know this information.

After Lieutenant General Bilos had walked away, Magellan lowered his voice and said to Roy, "Below this hole is the 'seventh level' of Impel Down."

"What!?"

Roy almost couldn't believe his ears: "The seventh floor!?"

When did Impel Down get a seventh level?

But he didn't have time to think it through and immediately asked the obvious question: "What kind of prisoners are locked up on the seventh floor?"

As he asked the questions, some legendary names even began to flash through his mind.

But
"No"

To Roy's surprise, Magellan shook his head and gave an unexpected answer: "There are no prisoners on the seventh floor."

He looked at Roy: "There's only one huge 'mechanical device' inside."

“It was completed more than 30 years ago when I was the ‘Deputy Director’, so I don’t know the specific reason for its construction—I only know that only the directors of Impel Down were allowed to enter and inspect it.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi frowned even more deeply.

No prisoners?

Such a large cavity, and inside it was only a mechanism whose function was unknown.

No matter how you look at it, this matter clearly has a strange connotation.

But then he gleaned another crucial piece of information.

"Since only the warden of Impel Down is qualified to enter Level 7, why would I have the authority to know about it?"

"Loy asked softly."

This is highly illogical—according to Magellan, the existence of Level 7 is an absolute secret even within Impel Down, and only the Warden has the authority to enter.

In other words, this is an internal affair of Impel Down.

It's important to understand that Impel Down, as one of the three symbols of the World Government, while closely linked to the Navy, is in essence independently and directly managed by the World Government.

Even the admirals and fleet commanders of the Navy shouldn't have the right to know about the internal affairs of Impel Down.

But upon hearing this, Magellan shook his head.

"The reason why the admiral has the right to know is because there is more than one such device."

He held up a finger and said slowly and deliberately, "Besides Impel Down, there is a similar device in Marineford and Enies Lobby."

"And we, the Impel Down, your Navy, and the guardians of Enies Lobby each need to be responsible for their own security!"

Upon hearing this, Roy was finally somewhat stunned.

His mind was racing, frantically processing the information he had at that moment.

Marineford, Impel Down, and Enies Lobby—these three 'symbols of the World Government' surrounded by the Gates of Justice—each contain a massive mechanical device.

It's not hard to tell from the situation in Impel Down.

It's estimated that only the Admirals and Fleet Admirals within the Navy know where the thing in Marineford is, while the device on Enies Lobby is likely known only to the highest-ranking officers on Enies Lobby.

So here's the question:
What is the purpose of these three devices?

Loy pondered.

But clearly, he couldn't come up with an answer.

"Lieutenant General Roy, shall we proceed to the fifth floor now?"

"Ah."

After hearing Magellan's question, Roy suppressed his doubts and stopped thinking about it.

Because he clearly has more important things to do now.

That is.
Fruit Encyclopedia

[Holder: Roy Amos]

[Current encyclopedia entries for fruit types: 59]

Number of fruit slots: 4

"Only one more option is needed to unlock the slot."

Yes.

Since arriving at Impel Down, Roy has acquired more than ten Devil Fruits.

This means he's only one fruit away from unlocking the fifth slot, the 'Devil Fusion Slot'! And Roy is certain that there are other Devil Fruit users inside Impel Down.

But just as the three arrived at the fifth level, 'Extreme Cold Hell,' and were preparing to continue their patrol,
"Goo~"

Accompanied by a sound like thunder, Magellan's face instantly turned pale.

"Uh that"

He clutched his stomach in pain: "I...I have something to do, I'm afraid I'll need you two to wait a moment."

Loy, Bilos: "."

Soon after, with Magellan quickly leaving to take care of his physiological needs, Roy and Bilos's inspection tour had to be suspended.

Both can only wait at the entrance to the extreme cold hell.

"Old man, are you really planning to retire? Don't you want to stay and work as an advisor or something?"

Sitting on a snow-covered brick, Roy looked at Lieutenant General Bilos.

"A staff officer? That kind of position is not suitable for an old man like me."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Bilos shook his head: "Besides, you're as cunning as a monkey, why would you need me to advise you?"

After saying that, he didn't wait for Roy to object and said directly, "I've made up my mind. When we get back, I'll take care of my grandson and train him well. If we lay a solid foundation, he'll definitely be a good naval officer in the future!"

"."

I remember your grandson was less than six months old, right?

Roy muttered to himself.

But before he could speak, he heard Lieutenant General Bilos say, "However, Roy kid."

He looked at Roy seriously: "I know you are very strong now, but don't be too arrogant—the chaos of this era is exacerbating your careless nature, and you will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

You, who want to train a six-month-old baby, how dare you say I'm not careful?

Roy continued to complain in his mind.

And
"Is the chaos escalating?"

Roy asked softly, but he had a vague idea of ​​what Bilos meant.

And as expected.
The Twelve Zodiac Signs.

Bilos uttered the name in a deep voice.

"I'm retiring soon, and I probably won't have any more contact with them."

"But you are different—with your strength and age, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will inevitably fight them to the death sooner or later."

There was clearly some worry in his words.

Hearing this, Luo Yi felt a warmth in her heart.

Although he knew he would never have to fight the twelve constellations to the death, he still comforted himself, saying, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm very strong."

But upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Bilos glared even more fiercely: "Say it again! That's why I said you're too careless!"

Having said that, as if to remind Roy of the horrors of their enemies, he immediately continued, "You've probably heard about the Rooster, the Dragon, and the Rat."

"But regarding the new member of the twelve constellations, you were busy with military exercises, so you probably don't know about it yet, right?"

Roy: "."

Seeing Roy remain silent, Vice Admiral Bilos immediately revealed the information he knew—including Garp's encounter with and injury to Ino in the East Blue, and Ino's abilities.

Roy, however, remained expressionless—and said something he didn't know.

But the next moment, Lieutenant General Bilos's words made him raise an eyebrow.

"Moreover, according to recent intelligence, the Revolutionary Army may also be connected with the Twelve Constellations."

"What do you mean by that?"

So, Roy, unusually, took the initiative to ask a question.

"It's a guess from the Criminal Investigation Division's Intelligence Bureau—that the Pig suddenly appeared in the East China Sea before the three-army military exercises."

"Intelligence indicates that the Revolutionary Army's Eastern Army also made large-scale unusual movements during the same period, seemingly transporting certain supplies, including the nineteen metals collected by 'Rat'."

Given Lieutenant General Bilos's seniority, he clearly knew a lot of information, which is why he was speaking so fluently at this moment.

As Roy listened, his initial surprise quickly subsided before he regained his composure.

After all, he knew the cause and effect of the matter—it was indeed difficult for the revolutionary army to move such a large number of personnel and supplies without revealing their whereabouts.

However, he didn't seem to care.

So what if it's been discovered? In any case, no matter how hard the World Government searches, it's impossible to find any trace of the so-called twelve constellations.

But it was precisely at this moment
The user of the fruit, 'Lightning', has been identified.

[The Devil Fruit has been confirmed as the 'Paramecia-type Cut-Cut Fruit', and is currently being analyzed and stored in the 'Devil Fruit Encyclopedia'.]

[Devil Fruit Ability - Can transform the body into scissors]

[Analysis progress: 0%]

The Fruit Encyclopedia chimed in once again, causing Roy's expression to shift.

"lightning?"

He certainly knew this person—a revolutionary from the South China Sea.

His gaze swept around discreetly, but he did not spot the revolutionary soldier.

He then understood.

The other side was probably drawn over by the 'revolutionary army' mentioned in Lieutenant General Bilos's words.

And this is indeed the case.

At this moment, not far from Roy and Lieutenant General Bilos, under a huge rock.

"."

Holding a wine glass, wearing two-tone sunglasses, and with his clothes and hair half orange and half white, Lightning looked serious.

"I never expected to hear such information here."

Beside him were a considerable amount of food and precious wines.

Yes, even Lightning itself didn't expect this.

He was simply using his abilities to steal some food from the fourth floor, just like he always did.

But on their way back, they encountered two navy men who were discussing the 'Revolutionary Army'.

It's important to know that since his arrest along with "Transgender King" Ivankov, he has had very little contact with the outside world.

Information about the revolutionary army, in particular, is extremely scarce.

"Are the twelve zodiac signs cooperating with us?"

Upon hearing such shocking news, he naturally had no choice but to stop in his tracks.

Although he was out of touch with the news, he had still heard of the 'Twelve Constellations'—after all, no prisoner who had recently entered Impel Down was unaware of this organization.

Therefore, lightning naturally realized it immediately.
"We must go back and tell Ivan what's going on. If the news is true, I remember there was a trainee member of the Twelve Constellations in LV5?"

He pondered to himself.

Meanwhile, Roy was unaware of Lightning's current plans.

However, he did not intend to directly expose the other party.

Just the opposite
"Grandpa, I really don't know any of this information you're talking about. Tell me more about that Pig of the Sea?"

"I told you long ago, there are many things you don't know."

With Roy's deliberate encouragement, Lieutenant General Bilos became even more talkative.

And when this old man boldly speculated that 'the revolutionary leader Dragon might also be a member of the twelve constellations'...
[Analysis of 'Scissors Fruit' complete]

Roy finally heard the prompt he had been waiting for from the Fruit Encyclopedia.

The number of fruit varieties has reached 60.

[Special Fruit Slot 'Fusion Fruit Slot' is now unlocked!]
