"Stop! You all stop! Don’t hit anymore!"
Hannibal forcefully stepped in between Storm and Little Saty, trying to use his body to block their fight.
However, Little Saty was far too busy to pay attention to Hannibal.
She glanced impatiently at the group of blue gorillas.
Little Saty was just in the mood to test the capabilities of this newcomer to the prison.
She definitely hadn't lost her mind enough to want the blue gorilla troops to incite a riot in Push City and create a bloodbath!
But before Hannibal and Little Saty could restrain the actions of the blue gorilla troops,
this group of "sea fighters" had automatically stopped their attack.
Brugli was not a high-intelligence creature.
Although he was a member of the "gorilla" family,
the blue gorilla simply could not compare to the Monkey family (crossed out) —
could not compare to the group of baboons on Clai Kanna Island known as "human imitators."
Under normal circumstances,
the actions of blue gorillas relied on external commands.
In simple terms,
blue gorillas are actually low-intelligence beasts.
For such low-intelligence beasts,
a key indicator for measuring the strength of enemies and allies is — size!
Just look at the white gorilla, whose robust body was nearly breaking through the ceiling.
Then look at the one on the ground that had been completely knocked unconscious by a punch.
The blue gorillas had lost the courage to attack autonomously.
They simply huddled together, continuously issuing warning-like roars toward the white gorilla.
But they did not approach the white gorilla.
Seeing this situation,
Storm felt regret as he retracted the clay around him.
He was sure that if that group of blue gorillas had charged together just now,
he would have received dozens of silver trophies all at once!
But there’s plenty of time ahead.
Storm wasn’t in a rush for this moment.
Once the blue gorilla troops were successfully calmed down by Little Saty,
a sudden small riot was completely halted.
Hannibal finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was close!"
Hannibal patted his chest repeatedly, still feeling a bit shaken.
"My Push City was almost in trouble!
"Little Saty! You’re really causing too much chaos!"
Slap!
Little Saty didn’t respond, just cracked her whip in the air.
Hannibal immediately turned his “gun” around.
"Penggore! You too! There should be harmony and love between guards and inmates! Fighting and killing, what kind of order is that?"
Harmony and love?
Storm glanced over at Little Saty.
The woman was wildly whipping a blue gorilla — the very one that had just been knocked out by the white gorilla's punch.
Little Saty probably wanted to wake up this unexpectedly fainted inmate through this physical whipping method.
The crack of the whip was incessant.
This scene, how could it be called "harmony and love"?
Unless all the blue gorillas were masochists!
Hannibal seemed to have realized the awkwardness as well.
He nodded toward Little Saty and quietly said,
"Little Saty came to Push City last year; she’s only 17 this year, and her personality is rather... proud.
"If you don’t mind, I can introduce my subordinate Domino to you.
"My Domino is much gentler than Little Saty."
Slap!
Little Saty cracked another whip in the air.
"Don’t think I didn’t hear you, Hannibal!"
Little Saty stepped forward, her high heels clicking on the floor.
"Do you want a taste of my Red Demon Whip? Hmm!?"
Seeing the situation was not good, Hannibal frowned.
He immediately retreated behind Storm, still stubbornly saying,
"Call me Lord Hannibal! Little Saty! I am the chief warden!"
"Tch!"
Little Saty scoffed, too lazy to pay Hannibal any mind.
She looked at Storm with great interest, propping her chin on her right hand, her pink tongue licking her lips.
"Finally, a handsome guy has come to Push City; it’s such a pity I can’t hear the handsome guy’s screams."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Storm looked Little Saty up and down; he had to admit that her outfit was indeed very eye-catching.
"But it seems you really like this kind of torturous play?"
"Well, I wouldn’t say like."
"So you really love it then?"
"Exactly! I absolutely love it!"
Little Saty beamed with a dazzling smile, exuding a wild and unrestrained aura.
"Penggore Storm? Want to come play with me?"
"Hey, hey! Little Saty!"
Before Storm could respond, Hannibal, hiding behind him, spoke up first.
"Penggore is still a newcomer; you can’t lead him astray!"
"Hannibal!"
Little Saty glared impatiently at the chief warden.
"You have no sense of romance!"
Then, without waiting for Hannibal to say anything more, she turned and left.
Once she had walked away, Hannibal emerged from behind Storm, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"What a dangerous woman…"
Dangerous?
Storm watched as Little Saty’s figure disappeared into the dim corridor.
The group of blue gorillas also vanished along with her.
Storm was not particularly interested in Little Saty’s invitation to play.
But he was quite interested in her [Grand Trophy].
After the brief encounter just now,
Storm had a basic estimate of Little Saty’s strength.
Rounding up, it should also be a silver trophy!
[Grand Trophy], who would ever find too many of those?
"Hey, hey! Penggore!"
Hannibal waved his hand in front of Storm's eyes.
"Stop looking! Everyone will meet again later tonight."
Push City had finally welcomed a newcomer.
Although this newcomer came from the Navy system,
everyone was still planning to throw a small welcome party for Storm.
Hannibal relayed this news to Storm.
"Also, there’s one more thing."
Hannibal scratched his head.
"Actually, you still need to complete a small test…"
Storm asked in confusion,
"A test?"
"The Navy has a very high recognition of your strength, and the admiral directly recommended you to become the chief warden of the Red Lotus Hell."
Hannibal explained.
"The guards of Red Lotus Hell mainly consist of that group of blue gorillas.
"Push City’s test for you is to defeat a blue gorilla.
"This will also help you manage them in the future.
"But now it seems this test is completely meaningless…"
The white gorilla that Storm had created knocked out the blue gorilla, which was supposedly invincible in Red Lotus Hell, with one punch.
What kind of test is this?!
"Little Saty mentioned earlier that she said I was here to take over her work."
Storm didn’t take this so-called "test" seriously; he was curious about something else.
"If that’s the case, then Little Saty was the chief warden of Red Lotus Hell before?
"What job is she responsible for now that I’m here?"
"Little Saty got promoted; she will now be responsible for managing the inmate beasts."
Hannibal pointed to the floor.
"The danger level of that job is much higher than being the chief warden of Red Lotus Hell."
Inmate beasts?
Upon hearing this special name, several half-human, half-beast figures flashed through Storm’s mind.
It is said that the few inmate beasts in Push City are all awakeners of the Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
To be precise, they are "failed awakeners"!
Although the inmate beasts look comical and harmless on the surface,
in reality, they are all cold-blooded and ruthless creatures.
The failure of awakening the Zoan-type Devil Fruit led these failures to lose their original humanity.
Within the entire Push City,
if Magellan stood alone at the top of the strength pyramid,
then the strength of these inmate beasts would at least be in the second tier!
Storm was very interested in the inmate beasts.
After all, even the blue gorillas have a star rating of "★★★".
So how high would the star rating of the inmate beasts be?
Four stars? Five stars?
Even six stars?
"Lord Hannibal!"
Storm asked eagerly.
"I don’t mind taking the risk; can I manage those inmate beasts instead of Little Saty?"
"You’re interested in my inmate beasts?"
Hannibal slapped his forehead.
"That’s right; you’re also an ability user.
"However, job transfers within Push City… need that bastard Magellan to arrange personally.
"You’ve just arrived in Push City; you should familiarize yourself with the environment first!"
Storm nodded regretfully.
After the little episode with Little Saty and the blue gorillas ended,
Storm continued to tour Push City with Hannibal.
However, their tour was limited to the first level of the sea.
Storm couldn’t delve deeper into the lower Red Lotus Hell or other deeper layers of hell.
The "biggest feature" in Push City — pirates,
Storm did not encounter today.
He originally wanted to try the feel of pirates…
Just as their tour was about to end,
Hannibal called Storm back to impart some work experience.
"The work content in Push City is still very easy."
Hannibal earnestly advised.
"If there are problems, subordinates can solve ninety percent of the troubles, and Magellan can handle the remaining ten percent.
"You are about to become the chief warden of Red Lotus Hell; the blue gorillas will be your subordinates.
"With their help, no inmate in Red Lotus Hell would dare to provoke you.
"Now I need to remind you of a few other precautions."
At this point, Hannibal paused, revealing a rare serious expression.
"First, do not provoke the inmate beasts; even if you’re very interested in them, they are no longer human!
"Secondly, do not recklessly delve into the lower levels of hell; the strength of the inmates in each prison layer is at different levels.
"Then, absolutely do not approach Shiryu of the Rain! That guy… is a colder existence than the monsters of Infinite Hell.
"Finally, and most importantly!"
As Hannibal reached the end, he took a deep breath and said solemnly,
"Penggore Storm!
"You are a man I recognize!
"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely do not let that venomous bastard Magellan pull you over!"
