...

A massive hole, spanning from the first level of Impel Down all the way down to the fourth, hung open above the fifth level, the Frozen Hell, gradually narrowing as it descended.

The widest point of the breach was on the first level, thankfully not reaching or impacting Level Six. Numerous prisoners and guards, faces etched with shock and trepidation, gathered around the edges, peering down into the abyss. The scorching heat from Level Four, the Blazing Hell, mingled with the frigid air of Level Five.

The icy chill lessened, the searing heat tempered, creating a strange equilibrium. The breach had miraculously avoided Level 5.5, the Newkama Land. Through the gaping hole, a sliver of the sky above was visible.

Magellan's expression darkened, a growing sense of dread tightening in his gut. His eyes were fixed on the azure dragon circling in the sky above, the atmosphere heavy with anticipation.

It felt like the calm before a storm, and in the next instant, the storm broke. With a thunderous roar, the dragon plummeted towards the earth, crashing into Level One with an earth-shattering boom.

The ground trembled violently around the impact site, a hundred meters from Magellan and his guards.

From the swirling dust cloud, a towering figure emerged, a giant of a man, over eight meters tall, a spiked club slung over his shoulder. It was Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, his very presence radiating an aura of terrifying power.

"What the...." Astonishment turned to horror as recognition dawned on the faces of those who witnessed his arrival. It couldn't be... Kaido of the Beasts!

He had invaded Impel Down, and in such a dramatic fashion. A bead of sweat trickled down Magellan's forehead.

The guards surrounding Kaido, trembling hands gripping their flintlocks, stared in disbelief. Kaido's face contorted into a savage grin. "Well, well, Magellan. Long time no see."

BOOM!

A wave of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Kaido, radiating outwards with earth-shattering force. The guards, without a sound, collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, their eyes rolled back in their heads.

The sheer force of his Haki shook the very foundations of Impel Down, leaving only a handful standing on Level One. The shockwave rippled downwards, impacting every level of the prison.

"Damn it!" Magellan roared, clenching his fists, his body oozing with toxic venom as he charged towards Kaido. "I don't care if you're an Emperor! This is Impel Down, and I won't let you run wild here!"

"Venom Devil: Hydra!" He unleashed the full power of his Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Doku Doku no Mi. Deep blue poison surged from his body, spreading like molten lava.

The ground sizzled and smoked where the venom touched, releasing noxious fumes. Magellan's eyes widened, and the venom behind him coalesced and transformed, taking the shape of a massive, multi-headed hydra, its venomous fangs dripping with corrosive poison. With a flick of Magellan's wrist, the hydra lunged towards Kaido, its gaping maws threatening to devour him whole.

Kaido, facing the onslaught, simply extended his right hand and swatted the hydra aside. An invisible vortex of force, like a miniature black hole, formed around his palm, disintegrating the venomous creature on contact.

In an instant, the hydra dissolved into a shower of deadly venom, splattering across the battlefield.

"Magellan, you're still as weak as ever." Kaido stood there, towering over Magellan, his eyes filled with disdain. There weren't many individuals he deemed worthy of remembering.
