Deep within Impel Down, on Level 4's scorching Inferno Hell, the warden's office, a space reflecting the demonic aesthetic of its occupant, Magellan, with its black, winged coat draped over a chair, had its doors flung open with violent force. A large, imposing man with a prominent belly and a face resembling a Noh mask stormed in.

The newcomer was none other than Hannyabal, the vice-warden of this underwater prison. "Magellan, what in the blazes is going on? Calling an emergency meeting out of the blue? You interrupted my wonderful dream!"

Hannyabal barged in, immediately launching into a tirade, showing no respect for his superior. He wiped a streak of dried drool, a remnant of his daytime fantasy, from the corner of his mouth.

"If something goes wrong in the prison at this critical juncture, it's your responsibility, Magellan. Then I'll just have to step up and take the warden's position..." His long-held ambition was to finally ascend to the coveted position of warden, to finally have Magellan, the man who had overshadowed him for so long, working under his command.

The thought sent shivers of excitement down his spine. Lost in his reverie, Hannyabal's loose lips inadvertently revealed his innermost desires.

Magellan sighed and rubbed his temples. This was Hannyabal's usual behavior. Though unreliable in his personal conduct, he was dedicated to his work. Impel Down, a place crucial to maintaining order in the world, couldn't afford to have an incompetent vice-warden.

Suddenly, Magellan clenched his buttocks, releasing a plume of purple poison gas that filled the room. Hannyabal's face turned green as he inhaled the toxins.

"Ugh! Careless of me! That sly Magellan! But I won't be defeated so easily! I will become the warden of Impel Down!"

With these words, Hannyabal, driven by sheer willpower, stumbled towards the wall, flung open a window, and gasped for fresh air.

"Warden Magellan!" Domino, the newly promoted chief guard, rushed in. She was a tall, striking woman with long, flowing golden hair, her figure accentuated by the form-fitting brown guard uniform.

Magellan was about to reprimand Hannyabal when his face suddenly contorted. His stomach gurgled ominously, and he promptly bolted for the restroom. As a user of the Venom-Venom Fruit, he was a walking biohazard.

Everything about him, even his breath, was toxic. As a consequence, he suffered from chronic diarrhea, spending a significant portion of his day confined to the restroom.

Magellan emerged from the restroom, exhaling a plume of poison gas. "Golden Lion Shiki has been captured. He's being brought back to Impel Down. Along with Donquixote Doflamingo."

"......" The room fell silent. Shiki's escape twenty years ago had been a shock, but it was ultimately an isolated incident.

Considering he was the legendary "Flying Pirate," his escape wasn't entirely unbelievable. But Donquixote Doflamingo, a Warlord of the Sea, what was he doing mixed up with Shiki? Had Shiki, eager to return to piracy, chosen a Warlord as a warm-up exercise?

And the Marines had simply reaped the benefits? Then Magellan revealed the name of the individual responsible for their capture: Ian. The silence deepened, the expressions on everyone's faces frozen in disbelief. They had heard of the "Black Winged Devil." He had defeated Gecko Moria in his first major battle...

Then Crocodile, fought Dracule Mihawk to a standstill, and now, he had clashed with two legendary pirates and a Warlord... He had emerged victorious in two of those battles, with the third, against Rayleigh, ending in a draw.
