• Great Prisoner 461 •
Have you ever been hit with the feeling where time just stops, whilst making the most difficult decision of your life?
That's what happen to Great Underwater Prison Guard, Sukoshiba Kanishitoru. It was the most pressurizing, stressful, and scariest decision he ever made, but he somehow managed the right choice; it was a very narrow escape.
He was working at a very dark, but highly facilitated underwater prison with 6 different levels where they keep each prisoners, and located in the Calm Belt. He'd have to say half of Hell's spawn dwells here; the worst criminals, which are heartless Pirates and Bandits, the worst kind of people you could ever imagine, are kept into this one place, which so happened to be here. To Kanishitoru, this place is the most fucked up grimehole he could ever imagine.
Kanishitoru think of the place with barely any rules, inhabited by unruly citizens. It turns you into a person you never thought you'd be. Your mind becomes easily desensitized and corrupt over the course of a month or so.
Prison fights happens on sometimes, only to be stopped shortly by the Jailer Beasts. Kanishitoru and the rest of the guards have the authorized to fire upon anyone who causes misconduct and try everything to keep things in order before they fire a shot. It really messes with his head and makes him forget proper ethics and reason. Kanishitoru remember a time he saw the Head Jailer slicing down prisoners just because he didn't like them and he was bored.
The cells in the Prison get darker and colder the deeper Kanishitoru goes down to the Prison. Some of them makes him wonder if they are even supposed to be a hole cell. Kanishitoru sometimes travel to Level 6. The deepest hall to Level 6 had an ambiance of dreadful darkness. The occasional rat squeal could be heard, moisture dropping sounds were present. You could sometimes hear the prisoners screaming and pitching in a fit of rage while some lose their sanity. Just the feeling of the hall gaves him the creeps. It was so cold it send chills down Kanishitoru's body no matter how many times he has been down there.
There was, however, one strange room that Kanishitoru always noticed is at the end of the hall. It was found in the depths of Level 6. There is an old steel bar for a handle. It had four strange looking locks. There was a very faded square of what used to be a sign.
Kanishitoru never knew what it once said, neither did the other guards. The only letters he could make out were "OOR" at the bottom right corner. Nobody he knew had ever been in those doors except the very few highest-ranking World Government officials. Kanishitoru and some of the guards had questioned the door. They were always told the same thing. "That's classified." There were rumors that dead bodies are kept there in a tomb, but it wasn't solid enough for Kanishitoru to believe it. He knew something wasn't right about that room.
Then a major prison riot broke out. Kanishitoru heard that a notorious pirate broke in and started letting prisoners out of their cells.
Three guards were killed instantly when a mob of Prisoners amush them. Some had weapons, and toom down several guards, some guards where caught by prisoners, they were taken to nearby office doors and used the bash doors and bash their heads.
The guards in every level had no chance against the prisoners. They were wandering around either trying to let out other prisoners or find the emergency weapon cache. It was hidden very well in the facility, but it wouldn't go undiscovered for long. It could eventually be found, especially with the determination of the now freed prisoners.
Kanishitoru ran into one of the top secret rooms which was open but deserted. He hid under a desk in the corner of a room. There was a key. It wasn't like any key I've ever seen. It was shaped like an oni skull key except the studs were shaped in strange thunderbolt-like patterns. There was a note next to it that said "WARNING: High Rank World Government Officials Authorized Only; or lethal force will be used". Kanishitoru instantly knew what he was in for, so he ran towards the depths of the jail while avoiding attacking prisoners. Kanishitoru managed to been up a few prisoners with his rifle. Kanishitoru don't remember how he got there, he must have blacked out from the fights.
As Kanishitoru stood at the end of the long hole cell hall, he felt a strange suspenseful dread coarse throughout his body. The closer he neared the door titled "OOR", the more nervous he felt. Sukoshiba Kanishitoru quivered from fear which was bothering him.
Kanishitoru felt lightheaded wondering what he was about to experience. However, he did not have much time. Whether he was going to hide in the room or bunker in for safety, he needed to get in. So Kanishitoru placed the key into the locks. It required effort to awkwardly twist the key. Each one had a loud breaking sound when they were unlocked. Kanishitoru paused. He felt very uncomfortable. He knew it had to be done. He grabbed the metal handle and pulled. It didn't budge. It required a lot more effort to be opened. It scraped against the ground and slowly creaked its way open. Steel grinding against the tough floor, it produced an eerie echoing creaking sound. Kanishitoru went inside and closed the door until there was only a crack.
It was dark. Pitch dark even though Kanishitoru could barely see the crack from the door. All he saw was black. The room seemed to large and very spacey enough to spread out your arms without touching the walls. He he light up the Torches that were by the walls.
After lighting them up, Kanishitoru gound an old fashioned metal hanging light shone from above. There, in front of Kanishitoru, was a steel cylinder. It was not only locked with a safe wheel and four other strange looking locks, but it was bolted shut. Like it was never meant to be opened. Then, the answer to Kanishitoru's curiosity to what was in this room came upon him when he saw a metal peephole.
It was locked closed. Kanishitoru found a key laying out on a steel drawer nearby that he didn't notice due to the dark display he had been fantasizing about for the longest time. He placed the key into the peephole lock to see if it would work. To his surprise, it fit perfectly. Kanishitoru took off the lock and took a deep breath. This is it, no turning back. He slowly slid the peephole open. Kanishitoru felt like he couldn't move any part of his body besides his hand. Immediately Kanishitoru saw two dim scarred eyelids inside. Both eyes were not only scarred but had a clear previously cut gash down the middle. Kanishitoru froze for a second, but then after a bit, he said...
"Hello?"
The eyes opened swiftly without warning. These eyes were unlike anything he've ever seen.
One was discolored and white as if it were a blind eye. The other was red. Blood red. He responded with a very deep voice that came from his belly.
"Yes?" said a very deep raspy voice full of irritation and hatred. The air filled with the sound of his speech.
"… Hello?" Kanishitoru stuttered. He was too scared to even move. Not only the eyes were scarring to look at but he is extremely scary looking.
He is a middle-aged man who seem to be 710 cm high and the bulk of his muscles, make him dwarf normal sized people. He was so overly top-heavy in build, and has a well-muscled torso with wide-set shoulders. His head and neck are bulky, and has a massive pair of gray-white, sharp-pointed horns coming out of its sides, curving slightly to the front, then upward.
"What is your reason for awaking me up?" He sounded quite angry.
"… I honestly don't know. The prisoners, started a prison riot… They overpowered us and this is the only place I could go…", said Kanishitoru.
"The inevitable deaths have come upon you I see. Well, you only have one choice."
The power and creepy feeling of his voice was enough to make Kanishitoru tremble in fear. No amounts of steel could protect him from this type of fear.
"Who are you?"
"… 461…" was all he said.
"… Why did High Ranking World Government Officials keep you locked up in this chamber? If I must ask…"
"Behind you…"
At this point, Kanishitoru was shocked and scared. He was certain that there was actually someone behind him ready to kill him with their bare hands. He turned and there was a metal cabinet nearby. Kanishitoru walked over to it, noticing that my feet were shaking, and opened it. Inside were many files.
"Open…" Said Prisoner 461. The bellow of his voice startled Kanishitoru.
He opened the file named "Crime scene photos". Instantly, he was disgusted and grew sick to his stomach.
One of the pages read "70 victims in Vodka Kingdom".
Next to it was a picture of dead bodies, there are those whose heads were bashed, and flesh leaking out through the mouth. There were other bodies who where tied upside down on poles, stripped, bloodied and bearing almost no layers of skin. Their mouths were stretched wide open and their jaws unhinged so that the poles which impaled them could fit.
Some of them had absolutely no teeth just bloody gums. Their eyes were rolled back into their head and some of them were facing directly at the camera. The bloodshot whites of their eyes displayed the pain and agony they must have gone through. Behind them, there was a message written in blood on the cellar concrete wall reading "PENANCE". I had never seen such a revolting picture in my life.
"… You did all this?..." Kanishitoru trembled.
"They deserved it when they decide to screw with me", replied the prisoner.
He looked deeper and it showed a picture of a cell from the prison. There was so much gore in the cells. Kanishitoru remember overhearing about this incident from prisoners but didn't know if it was actually true. There lay two of what seemed like dead inmates on the ground and one was nailed to the wall with a long metal piece from the bed. They were so terribly mangled that they couldn't have been recognized as human.
"Th-th-this actually happened? Is this true?!"
"Yes it is, obviously, why am I even locked up here in the first place?", said the Prisoner in a grumpy tone.
Kanishitoru looked at the other files attempting to look for information on this twisted individual. He read that his real name was unknown but his famous alias seemed to be "Hyakujū". His guessed age was late 50. He couldn't believe it. Taking on someone of his magnitude was impossible without enough military power. The only information on his early life is that he was a child soldier at the age of 10.
He has 70,000,000 confirmed murders although he has claimed 4,611,100,000. Skipping along his biography, he apparently has killed many known criminals. He had killed 200 Marines. He was caught in the act on a Spring Island of flaying a fully conscious man alive after townfolks heard the overwhelming screams from nearby, and it took six Marines ships cannon fire to finally take him down.
He was taken and tortured 18 times, and the Marines, and Cipher Pol have attempted to execute him 50 times, only to fail as Prisoner 461 survived every single attempt because every execution weapon broke when used on him. He survived two thousand cannon fire to the side and stomach. Most notably, the Marines took Prisoner 461 to a Sky Island, and threw him off 10,000 meters from sky and hit the ground which create a massive crater and shockwave strong enough to sink large nearby Marines ships, he didn't splatter, and emerged in one piece and stated that he gain only a small headache from the fall.
However, he ended up escaping custody from the
Marines it turns out he allowed himself to be captured for the purpose of eating the food on the battleships, and then escaping with ease once he had his fill. Apparently he wasn't good at affording food.
He got captured when he cause a rampage in Lougetown, and where he killed several Marine soldiers. Two Marine Admirals where called in and fight the Prisoner, and a battle began between the three that destroyed half of the town. In the end, Prisoner 461's lost and was imprisoned in Great Underwater Prison.
Prisoner 461's victims and crimes were kept confidential to keep the public from fearing the world. Now Kanishitoru can see why this man, or thing, is kept in a secret room with a very secure chamber.
"Why? Why do you do this?" Kanishitoru yelled in disbelief.
"They deserved to suffer, die, and rot" He said.
"Why did they deserve to die?" Kanishitoru was on the verge on insanity from what he had seen.
"They wanted to inflicted pain on me, they must suffer penance."
Kanishitoru had to think fast. The prisoners are closing in fast. There is no chance of hiding back here for long. There are still rotting prisoners here. Kanishitoru's rife won't protect me against all of them. His hand to hand skills are good but he can't go on forever. Kanishitoru have himself cornered. Here and there, he can very faintly hear a gunshot fire outside. The last possible choice Kanishitoru could have… Is to release the prisoner… he could only hope he killed only those who deserved it, though not in the methods that he did it. If he would help me, it could be his only chance to get out alive.
"If I help you out of there… Will you help me?", said Kanishitoru.
"No. I will just help the ones who could be victimized by these fleshs of deadmeat…"
"Does that include me?" He was praying at this point for a miracle.
"Yes".
Kanishitoru quickly grabbed a strange looking tool from the cabinet. It seemed like it would take out the bolts from the door. He took out the bolts. They clanged on the floor. He then carefully unlocked the locks one by one… Very slowly but carefully, hearing nothing but the sound of the key jiggling the pins.
Then… Came the final step. The safe wheel. It looked very threatening and uninviting but Kanishitoru had no choice. He turned it multiple times, using all my might, thinking it would never open. Suddenly, a very loud piercing CLANG noise echoed throughout the room. It scared Kanishitoru and made me fall back. He watched as the door slowly opened producing a loud creaking.
Inside… There the prisoner stood, wearing ragged old black and white clothes greased up to the point where it was almost grey, he was a mess. His face was terribly scarred. Not a single patch of skin on his face was smooth. His malicious eyes stared back at me, one of them white, one of them red. They stared at me from behind a mask which covered his nose and mouth.
It had straps that wrapped around to the back of his head. It seemed to have parts that went into his mouth. The mask was probably to keep him from biting. His x scar left you speechless with fear. He had very long black hair which lengthened down to his waist. There were chains around his limbs. The inside of the steel door had a couple dents.
Kanishitoru thought to himself how he would unchain him without freaking out. But just then, he fucking broke the chains right out of the chamber. Just like that, ripping the chains out from the chamber with ease. He stepped out of the chamber… His boots produced a loud thump that you could feel on the ground. He towered over Kanishitoru. He came up to him staring him in both eyes, into his soul and past it. He was extremely enraged. He felt so frightened Kanishitoru just couldn't move. He was shivering throughout his whole body. He wouldn't dare budge or twitch.
He put his hands forward. He thought he was going to tear him apart… But he didn't. He was showing his handcuffs so Kanishitoru could unlock them. He did so for him, then slowly sidestepped out of the way. He just kept staring at Kanishitoru, staring at him with a look as if he wanted nothing more than to gouge his eyes out… But he slowly turned and went on his way. He opened the door with almost no effort and thumped down the cell block hall. Kanishitoru watched him as he made his way down.
All of a sudden, two prisoners arrived around the corner and darted down the block. That proved to be the biggest and last mistake of their lives. Immediately they saw "Hyakujū" and just froze. But worse than he ever did. They must have known about the incident in the cell. They were too shocked to budge, their eyes widened. Unexpectedly, the giant drew back his hand and backhanded his fist into the side of the first prisoner's head.
His head smacked off the door of one of the hole cells and drew blood all over his face. 461 grabbed the second prisoner's face and smashed the back of his head against the other side where the wall was. Instantly, brain matter, blood, and pieces of skull blotched everywhere making a gory mess all over wall and floor. I was speechless. I couldn't say or do anything from this point. 461 killed two men with little effort.
By the time Kanishitoru collected himself and regained what was left of his sanity, a few minutes later, he started down the hall towards the direction that 461 went. It wasn't long before the commotion in the prison went from angry riots to bloodcurdling screams, cries for help, pleas for mercy, and groans of agony. He saw the remains of prisoners scattered all around.
As the halls and rooms grew smaller, all he could see were bloodied fragments covering boack and white clothing. Some were impaled on bars from ripped off cell doors. Gunshots fired but it seemed to do nothing about the screams. Kanishitoru ran towards the path of dismembered limbs and corpses. Not a single life was spared. No quarter, no warning, no mercy. Every prisoner was murdered in cold blood. One of them was hung up over a railing by an bkack and white pair of pants. The only bodies that weren't mangled as badly as the prisiners were the guards. Most of their corpses were intact. The ones that were still alive were scared. Maybe they were saved.
When Kanishitoru caught up to 461, he could see him stomp on a prisoners head, squashing it like he was a bug. He was pulling a prisoner off a guard by his neck. He picked him up, slammed him against the wall, and squeezed until his neck made a loud cracking sound. He was killed instantly. Another inmate attempted to rush at 461 with a sword. He stab him on the back but it but the blade broke. In response, Prisoner 461 turned around and grabbed the prisoner.
The inmate tried to punch his arm to let go but doesn't seem to work. He grabbed the inmate's right hand, struck the elbow with his left hand, and dislocated it. The inmate screamed in pain. 461 then proceeded to bludgeon him to a shattered boneless pulp with his bare hands until he was smashed into pieces. A hiding prisoner attempted to grab Kanishitoru from behind.
He turned elbowing him in the head twice and bent over to grab his right leg. Kanishitoru rolled forward and pulled back as hard as he could, dislocating his limb. There was no chance of him getting up. However, Hyakujū didn't think the same thing. He grabbed the prisoner's intact left leg, straightened it, and crunched it into his body. The prisoner screamed in pain and agony from the shock. 461 walked on like it never happened. Kanishitoru and the other guards were able to get as situated as they could once the SWAT arrived. However, once they made it, 461 was long gone.
Sukoshiba Kanishitoru has never heard of Prisoner 461 ever since. He had disappeared without a trace. He left no signs of leave after the bloodbath in the Prison. Marines and Cipher Pols have searched every nearby islands. The World Government kept their eyes open for gruesome reports. They have found nothing. Sukoshiba Kanishitoru can honestly see why they have sought him tirelessly. He could be anywhere, doing anything, to anybody.
