Chapter 1: Immortal
Calendar June 1520
Today is the anniversary of the death of the pirate king Gold Rogers. Twenty-two years ago Gold Rogers was captured and executed in Lougetown near the Great Route. Before his death, Gold Rogers gave words that shocked the world:
"You want my treasure? You can have it! Search For It! I left everything I gathered in one place."
And with that the Great Pirate Era officially opened!
Among the vast blue sky, there is a red sun hanging in the center. Against the backdrop of numerous white clouds surrounding it, it is particularly beautiful. When a seagull flew pass an ominous building it dropped posters on the ground. The sailors there picked up the posters and read them.
Here is the navy's biggest prison, Impel Down. The prisoners held here are the most vicious pirates in the entire pirate world. Every prisoner here if released can turn the world upside down! Therefore, it was guarded by the Navy's most powerful force. Since the construction of Impel down there has been no precedent where prisoners have escaped This in turn satisfies the senior level of the world government.
Somewhere deep inside the prison
Large group of navy soldiers armed with rifles patrol a hidden area in Impel Down, patrolling with the Soldiers are a lot of strange animals in an orderly fashion. Among them there are humanoid giant cows, a scary lion, and a fat cat…This area is the most secure area in Impel Down. Surrounding by darkness, this is the secret level that is rarely known throughout the world.
According to rumors, the Fleet Admiral spent a lot of money to construct a level just to contain an extremely terrifying prisoner. Outsiders only know about Level six but not of level seven which defense is several times more secure. The people who know this secret counting the navy is no more than ten!
At this moment, the Navy soldiers are guarding level seven as usual, armed with rifles, and watched a juvenile detained in the cage with vigilance. The juvenile has dark black silky hair. Under the hair was a handsome devilish face that was extremely serene. The teenager's eyes are closed and he breathes evenly, apparently caught in a deep sleep. On his hands and feet hang chains of sea stone with surprising thickness. This boy is the terrifying prisoner in Level seven of Impel Down!
" It seems that he won't wake up today. He can really sleep!"
"Right? Since he was locked in this prison twenty-two years ago, he has been sleeping the whole time. I helped carry him into the prison. Don't look at how skinny he is, his weight his really heavy." The Navy soldier whispered in fear of the teenager waking up from his slumber.
The person who just spoke warily looked at the teenager. His eyes were full of fear. He waved his hand and indicated those around him to not speak. The other soldiers saw this gesture and became outside world does not about this teenager but the navy is the most clear.
In the past twenty-two year the navy have watched this teenager sleep. It can be said that his life have been documented by them since he came in, The teenager was sleeping when he first came in and is still sleeping,. In twenty-two years, he did not eat or drink. This shocked the navy but later came more surprises because his appearance remained the same throughout the twenty-two years. His appearance has not changed as if the passage of time has no effect on him. If these navies didn't watch him everyday they would have thought that time did not pass.
In other words, this young man in front seems to be immortal!
For Twenty-two years the world government have repeatedly tried to kill him but had no success. Whether it was using fire, stabbing with swords, or drowning, it did not kill him.
Fire can burn his skin but by the next day is skin is as good as new. He can be cut by a sword but by the next day the wounds are gone and throughout this process the teenager is still sleeping peacefully. When he was thrown into sea he was still sleeping peacefully. The Sea king seems deeply afraid of this teenager and was willing to be servile to him. The Navy finally had to spend a lot of effort to get him out of the sea.
