Chapter 3, one year

Kill me!

"Well, Lord Raul is indeed a promising new talent in the navy, highly regarded by the Grand Admiral. He has only spent a year in the advancing city for quiet cultivation and to accumulate experience. This time returning to the navy, he will likely directly skip the rank of Brigadier General and be promoted to Major General" There was a hint of envy in Jin Qie's words

Ah!

Blood splatters! Chunks of flesh jump!

Gaining benefits from swordsmanship, Figo will not comprehend the sword techniques as if enlightened, but rather, during the subsequent practice and use of the sword, he will experience a surge of inspiration, rapidly elevating his actual skill level to match the data.

The first three levels each have a captain, while the fourth level is overseen by a chief jailer and a deputy chief jailer who can manage three squads. The fifth and sixth levels are under the responsibility of the head guard and the deputy head guard. The advancing city, which was established just a year ago, has not yet set up the position of director.

"I want to become the deputy warden, and there is only one standard." He turned to Xiao, as if understanding Xiao's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Strength!"

The scene before me was triggered by the prison files in his mind, which did not adhere strictly to scientific principles, yet were not entirely devoid of them either

Gaining such physical benefits, Figo will immediately become stronger, but for a period of time thereafter, he will become extremely gluttonous, as if compensating for some deficiency. Due to the continuous gains in physicality, he gradually transforms into a veritable bottomless pit, with his appetite increasing significantly, as if he can eat for ten.

The prisoners on the fourth level have a normal level ranging from R 6 to R 9, and it is hoped that they can be stronger

Fell into a coma

Over the past year, Figo has encountered all sorts of bizarre pirates, but this time, he was still quite surprised and intrigued by this one

According to Figo's understanding, based on modern universal values, a crime index of 1 to 5 is generally sufficient for a fixed-term to life imprisonment, a score of 5 to 10 can warrant immediate execution, and anything above 10 is hardly excessive within 5 minutes. At 17 points, it implies that the individual currently begging for mercy has at least 20 innocent lives on their hands

A one-ton heavy object surged in his hands, emitting a dangerous whistling sound. After a moment, it crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Time passes like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, a year has gone by. Figo has completely acclimated to life in the city of advancement and has become quite familiar with the guards.

A man over 2.5 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a slim waist, extremely muscular, hung up the phone and walked over to a massive stone mill weighing one ton. He lifted it with both hands and continued to train his arm strength

As Figo walked by, he suddenly heard a faint and distant scream coming from afar

Figo nodded slightly and continued walking towards the baptismal room, feeling a bit contemplative in his heart

Ah, yes, the leader!

Figo walked over and pressed the button on the phone bug twice: "Figo received. Is Deputy Warden Jin Qie present? This time, do we need to confine the pirate to the fourth level, or should I escort him independently?"

Oh, is that so? Figo replied somewhat ambiguously, "No count, thank you."

Burp ~ Just finished eating, time to get to work

Ah, Captain Figo!" Two guards stood at attention and greeted, then with a smirk said: "This guy is not behaving; he actually stole the bread from the new inmate. We are giving him a little lesson.

No, I dare not, sob... The prisoner, whose back was a bloody mess, let out a mournful cry

The warship approached the dock of the advancing city

After hanging up the phone, Figo rubbed his stomach and walked back to pick up the bowl of noodles: "Fuuuuuuuuuu"

Just as I was about to engage in the 37th bowl of battle, the intercom in a corner of the cafeteria began to ring

This is not the first time Figo has encountered such a situation

The sound of metal cutting also became heavier.

Then I will not easily acknowledge it! I do not reject him, but good relationships are of little help in deterring the vicious pirates of the fourth layer

Figo remained unperturbed as he returned the whip, saying: "That's enough, don't kill him. Throw the person into an empty cell. I appreciate both of you accompanying me to the baptism room to board a warship."

The not-so-large mouth seems to transform into a voracious black hole, devouring an entire bowl of noodles in just five seconds with a gluttonous force

As the deputy prison warden, Jin Qie can be regarded as the fourth most important figure in the advancing city. Hearing the nearby youth seemingly expressing simple sentiments, he continued the motion of promoting the stone mill: "If you could take on most of the work ahead of the guards like Figo, handling all the ship receiving tasks for the first four layers of the escort vessels, saving us the trouble, you would also be that well-liked.

Figo holds expectations for the new inmate

However, this kind of growth feels quite good

He glanced at the prisoner on the case, recalling the prison records in his mind, locating the corresponding page, and the relevant item: [Crime Index: 17]

Two naval lieutenants dragged a prisoner, bound with heavy iron chains, down from the warship

The power of habit is truly formidable. A year ago, he felt uncomfortable merely observing the baptism, yet now he can inflict torture on prisoners without a change in his expression

"Hmm, I'll leave it to you." A rugged male voice came through the phone.

"Figo, this is the 37th bowl, and you have broken the record again!" said the guard serving him the noodles.

Figo reached out to take the whip, and with a flick of his wrist, he swung it in front of the terrified eyes of the prisoner on the table

If it were not for the extreme danger posed by the inmates on the fifth and sixth levels, the chief warden could personally handle the work alone, completing half of the tasks required for advancing the prison

The Undersea Great Prison, known as Advance City, consists of a total of six levels. The deeper the level, the stronger the prisoners held there, and each level has a designated responsible officer.

On the other side, the training area

Sss ~ ~ ~ slurp slurp ~ ~ ~ advancing to the first level of the city, the prison guard's cafeteria, Figo quickly slurped up the chewy noodles, finishing a large bowl of seafood noodles in half a minute, leaving almost no broth behind

Blue-green skin, a strong body, serrated teeth, and a fish head

"Moses, Moses. Is Captain Figo there?" A voice came from the intercom: "This is the monitoring room. We just received a message from headquarters that a transport ship will arrive at Impel Down in half an hour. There is only one prisoner on board, and he needs to be detained at Level 4."

Blublu, blublu

What is the matter with this

Do notーー

Xiao's figure paused momentarily, and a smile appeared on his face: "Then I can rest assured, Chief Guard."

His head suddenly lifted high, his eyes bulging, his tongue extended long, unable to even let out a scream, and after a while, he finally lowered his head slightly

... ...

Is this the... the Fishman tribe?

The third-level leader, Xiao, shrugged his shoulders, picked up a smaller stone stool, and said: "I have no desire to chase after him in this regard. If I have free time, I would rather sleep in the dormitory or come to the training area to exercise. By the way, Lord Jin Qie, I heard that the chief warden will be transferred back to the naval headquarters when the year is up"

With a swift glance, Figo quickly approached a relatively open area, where he saw a prisoner stripped of his shirt and bound to a table, being subjected to various instruments of torture by two guards nearby

Then... can I congratulate you in advance on your promotion to Chief Guard? Xiao asked: Your promotion to Chief Guard likely means that the position of Deputy Chief Guard that has become vacant will probably go to... Figo, right?

Stealing bread from new inmates is merely an excuse; advancing into the city is not a benevolent act. Capturing these pirates only leads to their confinement and sustenance.

... ...

Level 1, prison area corridor

Woo—pa!!

Casually stacking the empty bowls forward, it was evident that a tall pile of empty bowls had already been arranged in front of the table. Before Figo could speak, a new bowl of noodles was presented to him.

This type of intercom is widespread in the guards' living quarters, allowing the guards in the monitoring room to contact anyone immediately, which is very convenient

Jin Qie furrowed his brows, cast a sidelong glance at Xiao, and suddenly accelerated the motion of pushing the stone mill.

Although there are currently no places like the scorching hell to torment prisoners, the arbitrary beatings by the guards can still turn this place into a living hell

The intense suffocating sensation experienced by the prisoners was instantly multiplied several times by a force far greater than that of the guards' whips

Wait for a moment in the baptismal room

"You are truly popular, Figo," remarked a tall and slender young man beside him. "Clearly, the fourth floor is under your and the warden's responsibility, yet when the monitoring room heard that a prisoner from the fourth floor was being transported, they immediately contacted Figo."
