Chapter 188 Susanoo's Fist!
"Is this the second floor?"
Looking around at the somewhat dimly lit cell, Luffy put his hat on and said, "It doesn't seem like anything special."
It looks exactly like the cells I've seen before.
"Damn it, does it even matter?!"
Buggy's head flew off the ground and landed squarely on Luffy's face as he said, "You know we almost died from that fall!"
Bucky never dreamed that this kid would be so crazy, pulling the two of them down with him the moment they got close to the pit.
Didn't this kid ever think he might fall to his death?!
If it weren't for west Yan catching them with his water escape technique, they might have died from the fall!
"Hahaha, nothing's wrong, is it?" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.
"You bastard, you better reflect on your actions!"
Luffy's attitude almost made Buggy furious. Does this kid not care about other people's lives at all?
Or is this guy just a pig-brain and can't even think of such a thing?
Thinking of this, Bucky glanced at Xiyan with some pity.
"Um?"
"What's wrong?"
west Yan looked at Bucky with a puzzled expression. Why was this guy looking at him like that?
"west Yan, why don't you come with me?" Bucky said.
west Yan: ...:
How did this guy have the courage to say something like that?
His bounty is probably less than a fraction of Luffy's.
Speechless, west Yan chose to ignore the guy.
"Hey, Buggy, what are you doing?!" Luffy glared at Buggy and said, "You actually stole my crewmate?!"
"Hmph, following a guy like you would definitely be exhausting."
"What did you say?!"
"Alright, you two, stop fooling around," west Yan said. "Hurry up and find the door to this floor, then leave here and enter the next floor."
Seeing that west Yan had said that, Luffy stopped what he was doing and then said, "Bugsy, if you say something like that again, I'll beat you up!"
Bucky pursed his lips, but didn't say anything more.
Ultimately, he was just saying it casually; he didn't really want to recruit west Yan, after all... he was aware of his own influence.
Just then, the group heard footsteps, as if something was running towards them.
What was that sound?
"Someone must be coming," west Yan grinned. "Perfect timing to figure out what's going on on this floor..."

west Yan fell silent before he could finish speaking, because he realized that what had come before them was not a jailer, but a hippopotamus that looked about the size of a puppy.
"A...a baby hippo?"
Luffy tilted his head and looked at the baby hippo on the ground, a few question marks appearing on his face.
Why are there baby hippos here?
"That's really strange," Bucky said, squatting down and looking at the baby hippo. "I heard the second level is the Beast Hell, teeming with terrifying monsters, but this guy... ::::"
Could it be that all the rumors are false?
If that's the case, then they should be able to easily pass through the second level and reach the third level of the prison.
Thinking this, Bucky said, "It seems there's no danger on this level. We..."
Before Bucky could finish speaking, he saw the hippo in front of him open its blood-red maw and swallow his upper body whole!
Bucky: !!!
Bucky, whose upper body was reduced to just a head, stared in shock at the baby hippo below.
If I'm not mistaken, the mouth that it just opened was several times the size of its body!
What the hell is this?!
"So this is a Warcraft?" west Yan stroked his chin, examining the creature. "Interesting."
"Hey, why are you suddenly appreciating it?"
Bucky stared blankly at Xi Yan. Shouldn't they be running away at a time like this?
"There's nothing to be afraid of." west Yan walked over and patted the little hippo, saying, "I've got this guy under control."
"Is it under control?"
Bucky paused for a moment, then realized that the hippopotamus had indeed calmed down.
"Purge his body out."
"Roar~"
The baby hippo opened its gaping maw and spat out Bucky's upper body.
"How did you do that?" Bucky asked in astonishment.
The other party can actually control the monsters of the Beast Hell?
That's amazing!
Could this guy be a beast tamer like Mochi under his command?
"I have my own way of doing things," west Yan said.
Seeing that west Yan had no intention of explaining, Baji didn't ask any further questions.
However... since the other side can control the magical beasts, it means they can easily pass through this second level of the Beast Hell!
Thinking of this, Bucky grinned.
Just then, a strange sound rang out, as if something was flying in the sky.
The next moment...
"Clang!"
The sharp slash cut Bucky in two, scaring him so much that snot came out of his nose.
"Damn it, what the hell is this?!"
"A praying mantis?"
Looking at the mantis wearing a jailer's hat, west Yan asked in surprise, "Is this thing also a jailer?"
To make these wild beasts obey commands...: Could there be a Devil Fruit user here who can control these beasts?
If that's the case, wouldn't controlling the other party be equivalent to controlling the entire second layer?
Thinking of this, west Yan's eyes lit up.
"How do I know if it's a jailer?" Bucky said. "All I know is that it's extremely dangerous!"
He was easily cut in half; his attack power was even greater than that of an ordinary pirate!
"Oh no, it's here again!"
Seeing the praying mantis charging at him, Bucky turned and ran away in fright.
"Go, take it down," west Yan said.
"roar!"
Upon receiving west Yan's order, the little hippo immediately opened its blood-red maw and charged towards the mantis.
"scare!"
The mantis was startled, then spread its wings and created some distance.
"scare?"
The praying mantis, assuming a fighting stance, looked at the baby hippo with a puzzled expression, wondering why its human had suddenly attacked it.
But the baby hippo didn't give it much time to think and immediately rushed up to fight it, forcing the mantis to turn around and flee into the distance.
It's an assassin, very fragile; one bite from it and you're dead.
"Oh~"
"So that's how it can be done!"
Watching the two ferocious beasts kill each other, Bucky's face lit up with excitement. "Go! Take it down, little hippo!"
"roar!"
"scare!"
"Alright, stop watching." Xi Yan grabbed Bucky, who was still watching the show, and said, "This place will attract other animals sooner or later. We should leave before that happens..."
Before west Yan could finish speaking, the jailer's voice came over the loudspeaker from above.
"notify!"
"Two intruders, along with a criminal, entered the second level of the Beast Hell!"
"Please be on guard if you are on the second floor!"
"Repeat!"
"Two intruders, along with a criminal, entered the second level of the Beast Hell!"
"Please be on guard if you are on the second floor!"
"We've been...discovered?"
Bucky looked incredulous. How did the jailers find them?
"Tch, so we were still seen." west Yan said with a sneer.
"What exactly happened?"
"It's probably because we were discovered by the video Den Den Mushi in Crimson Hell," west Yan said.
Either the Den Den Mushi transmitted the image to the monitoring room on the first floor before he killed it.
Either there was a hidden phone that happened to capture the footage of them entering the large hole.
"It seems that breaking into this underwater prison silently is not an easy task," west Yan murmured to himself.
In that case... let's keep fighting!
Right now, he just hopes that Hancock won't be suspected because of their exposure, otherwise they could easily be arrested.
Thinking of this, west Yan sighed silently.
"What do we do then?" Bucky said, almost frantically. "If Magellan catches us, we might all die!"
Although west Yan said he would protect him, but... if they really encounter Magellan, who knows if this kid will keep his promise.
After all... we're all pirates!
"So what? No one can stop me from saving Ace!" Luffy said.
"Idiot, you have no idea how terrifying Magellan is!"
"Alright, what's the point of saying this now?" west Yan glanced at Bucky and said, "If you're really too scared, then leave here first, and we'll go by ourselves."
After speaking, west Yan paused for a moment, then continued:
"Of course, if you can hold out until we come back, we'll take you with us as a reward for the information you gave us."
"However—if you don't make it back before we get back, you can't blame us, okay?"
If Bucky really doesn't want to go down with them, he won't force him.
After all...: This guy also said he didn't know how to get to the third level, so it didn't matter whether he went or not.
Bucky paused for a moment, his brain starting to work at lightning speed.
"Walk by yourself?"
If he leaves on his own, he won't have to face Magellan, but... he can't beat the jailers here!
He couldn't even defeat Brugley on the first floor, let alone the other, more powerful jailers.
With that thought in mind, Bucky gave up his idea of escaping.
Then, he gave west Yan an awkward smile and said, "Never mind, I'll just stay with you guys."
"Then stop talking nonsense and keep up..."
Before west Yan could finish speaking, he sensed a gust of air rushing towards him from afar, mixed with a fishy, foul smell.
This made west Yan frown subconsciously, and he said, "This sounds like the breath of some kind of animal."
Then, west Yan looked up and saw a huge creature.
"Is this the guy?"
"What...what the hell is this?!"
Luffy stared in shock at the drooling creature high above.
"Damn it, the rumors were true! There really are monsters on the second level!" Bucky exclaimed in shock.
west Yan, however, curiously examined the creature and remarked, "Why does this thing look a bit like a snake?"
"No, it looks like... a chicken?"
"Snake-chicken?"
"Chicken-snake?"
What is this thing?
"roar!"
The beast roared as it looked at the three motionless "desserts".
"Never mind what it is, run!"
"escape?"
"You've already been discovered, why try to escape?"
Seeing the enormous creature getting closer and closer, west Yan grinned and said, "Big guy, you want to eat us?"
You're not qualified!
As soon as he finished speaking, a pale golden light appeared on west Yan's body, and then a pale golden skull appeared on west Yan's body, protecting him firmly.
"What...what is that?!" Bucky stared at Xiyan in shock. "A golden skeleton?"
Is this guy a Devil Fruit user?
What kind of ability is this?
"Wow...so handsome!!"
Luffy stared excitedly at the skeleton on Xiyan's body, his eyes shining, and said, "Hey, Xiyan!"
What is this?!
"Ah, this ability is called Susanoo," west Yan said without turning his head. "It's an ability I've only recently mastered."
Then, west Yan manipulated the skeletal skeleton to raise its arm, aiming it at the approaching gigantic beast, and said, "Taste my Susanoo Fist!!"
The next moment, west Yan jumped up, arrived in front of the ferocious beast, and slammed his fist into its head.
"bump!!"
"Click~"
An incredibly heavy, pale golden fist slammed into the opponent's head, shattering his skull!
Affected by this power, the opponent's massive body flew out, smashing through a distant wall.
"Whoosh~"
"boom!"
"ah!!"
The moment the wall was smashed through, a scream came from inside, clearly indicating that the person had been hit head-on by the ferocious beast and knocked unconscious.
"Wow, this guy was that strong?" Baqixiyan said. "He defeated this guy with just one punch?"
"Hahaha, Xiyan is incredibly strong!" Luffy said with a loud laugh.
His partner is very powerful, so taking down this monster is not a problem for them.
Bucky nodded subconsciously, then, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up as he rushed toward west Yan.
Then, under west Yan's puzzled gaze, he placed his hand on Susanoo.
west Yan: ? ? ?
What are you doing?
west Yan frowned as he looked at Bucky, not understanding what the guy meant.
"Is this some kind of ability that allows you to collect gold?" Bucky asked excitedly. "Can we take it?"
If we can take it off, then this kid's golden skull outfit will be extremely valuable!
west Yan:
A speechless west Yan muttered, "Are you crazy?!"
"I'll gouge them out—do you want me to gouge out my eyeballs for you?!"
"What would I do with your eyeballs?" Bucky shook his head and said, "I'm only interested in gold. Other people's eyeballs can't be sold for money, so they're of no use to him. That's why he doesn't want them."
"Hey, you've actually picked one."
west Yan was so angry he laughed. Was this kid being a little too unrestrained?
After casually tossing the other party aside, west Yan said, "This isn't gold; it's just a manifestation of energy."
After saying this, Xiyan released Susanoo.
"what?"
"It's not gold?"
Upon hearing this, Bucky, who was lying on the ground, immediately showed a disappointed expression and said, "Then forget it."
He originally thought it was made of gold, but it turns out it's just energy.
Forget it then, this thing can't be taken away at all, and there's no way to turn it into money.
"So what if it's gold? Can you take it with you?" west Yan said irritably.
"Haha, you're right."
Bucky, having regained his composure, scratched his head awkwardly.
Just as the other party said, even if he were given such a large amount of gold, he wouldn't be able to take it away now.
After all... we're in an underwater prison right now!
"Alright, enough talk, let's go," west Yan said. "If you want gold, go back to the sea and look for it there."
"profound!"
Bucky grinned and said, "Once we return to the high seas this time, I'm going to become the King of Treasures!"
Of course, it would be even better if one could build their own faction.
In that case... he also has a chance to outdo that bastard Shanks!
Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in Bucky's eyes.
Clearly, due to the provocation of west Yan's words, Bucky's mindset underwent some changes.
