The Devil's Grin - A One Piece Fanfic (Snail-like Updates)

Escape! What'd I Miss?

Alright fist thing first. I'm still alive since I convinced Tempest to let me live.

"More like blackmailed!"

And while I managed to get out alive I forgot to go over Sanji's vision from the third snail. If you want to know what he was shown then you need to convince @Ludocuba to put her story Pirates Pet Mermaid up again. Also sorry Ludocuba but I really was interested in the storyline. And with that said we will move onto the chapter.

Kuzan sat in the warden's office preparing the chest set for his game with D.

"Why do you keep playing with him?" Warden Magellan asked. "There are other methods to get him talking."

"Your methods would be wasted on him." Kuzan chuckled. "He is essentially immune to everything you could try."

"There is always Sea Prism Stone." Megellan rumbled.

"Or haki?" Kuzan asked before the poison man could say it. "If it was that simple he would have been defeated long before our time. Besides." He sighed. "We already tried Sea Prism cuffs. He simply removes them without us seeing somehow every time."

"Perhaps a knife made of the cursed stone could stop him."

"Nothing like that has ever been made." Kuzan shook his head. "It is a taboo."

"Times change." Megellan noted.

Times certainly do change. Kuzan thought.

Suddenly the room shook as if an explosion went off. A guard rushed into the room, his uniform a mess, gasping for air.

"What has happened?!" Megellan growled the question.

"Sir!" The guard soluted. "The source of the disturbance seems to be the maximum danger level prisoner's cell!"

"What?!" Megellan shouted in surprise. "Send word to the Fleet Admiral!" He ordered as he rushed out.

Could he really be escaping?! Kuzan wondered as the room shook more violently then before. Quickly he moved to to follow Megellan.

Luckily for them only a few floors lay beneath the warden's office. And it seemed that no floors above the warden's level were experiencing shaking. As Kuzan ran from floor to floor inmates questioned what was happening. Several had decided that it was the end of the world. Remembering D's words about bottling up an endless power, he wondered if they weren't wrong.

"Put the cell into emergency suspension!" Megellan was already ordering the counter measures for an earthquake. The walls around D's cell had been made hollow so that they could be filled with a gel that would prevent it from shaking if a quake happened to hit them. Sengoku was confident the cell could hold him but he didn't want to take chances. Within minutes the gel had filled the walls and the room stopped shaking.

"I'm going in." Kuzan spoke motioning for a guard to open the first door leading in.

"I can not allow it." Megellan stepped in front of him. "Emergency protocols instruct the room to be sealed. And if it is threatened it will be dropped at the bottom of the sea."

"And kill him?!" Kuzan shouted in astonishment.

"It is the Fleet Admiral's instructions." Megellan spoke calmly. Now that things seemed under control he had regained his composure. "It would be better to kill the demon instead of befriend it."

"Sir."

"We don't even know if he can be killed!" Kuzan yelled.

"Sir."
