Westfalenstadion.
Known as one of the most intimidating home stadiums in Europe, it exudes an oppressive atmosphere at all times.
However, on the afternoon of April 17, 2016, the atmosphere was different.
When the players from both teams led the mascots out of the tunnel, the over 80,000 fans in the stadium did not sing their usual battle chants to unsettle the opponents. I...
Apologies, everyone, but it seems that chapters 182 and 183 in the raw and MTL are identical or combined. As a result, I will not be rewriting those chapters. Instead, I will continue with chapter 184.

From the outside, it appears to be a picturesque vacation spot. The island is beautiful, and various ships frequently dock here.
In reality, Mogu Town is incredibly lively and is even known as the "gold-selling cave" of the first half of the Grand Line.
But the visitors spending money...
Alabasta, in the vast desert, there is an oasis called Yuba.

What appeared in front of the many female warriors of the Nine Snakes Pirates was a man who surprised them all.
How should I describe it?
There was no demonic aura reflected in the moonlight like in the bounty poster, nor the monstrous presence they had imagined for someone with a bounty of 1.45 billion Berries.
In terms of age and height, he seemed similar to ...
The Pirate Ship of the Nine Snakes Pirates
Under the warning of the female warrior, more and more female pirates began to notice it.
That's right, the island was indeed moving.
Though its speed was slow, such a massive moving island was still quite conspicuous in the calm waters of the Calm Belt.
After confirming this, the pirates of the Nine Snakes ...
The Calm Belt, Grand Line
The blue sky was dotted with a few drifting clouds. The sea lay calm as a mirror, with no waves in sight. This was the Calm Belt of the Grand Line, known as the lair of the Sea Kings. The harsh environment prevented ordinary sailors from venturing here, but it did not mean the place was uninhabited.
At this moment, looking down from the s...
Taylor Swift did it on purpose.
Originally, she had planned to catch a plane and leave Madrid after watching the match. After Su Luo gave her the ticket, he let her decide. He didn’t expect she would end up finding him at a nightclub, deliberately revealing her identity to attract everyone's attention. It felt like she wanted their relationship to be public.
Luckily, the area wa...

"Su Luo's decisive goal!"
"Beautiful!"
On the scoreboard, the score was 4:2, with Real Madrid leading at home. B...
Grand Line, Marine Headquarters Building
On the day Gnar's new bounty was announced, a secret meeting was held within the Marine regarding his capture.
The meeting was attended not only by Marine executives but also by agents from the World Government's CP9.
In a dark conference room, it was clear that the attendees were divided into two groups.
One ...
"Sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Despite being shocked internally, Mr. Tom managed to maintain a neutral expression.
If Gnar weren’t a time traveler, his honest demeanor might have been convincing.
Unfortunately...
Gnar gently raised a finger and placed it in front of Mr. Tom.
"I need you to understand something, Mr. Tom. Since I’ve com...
Overall, the interior of Tom Shipbuilding Company resembles a vast warehouse.
It is divided into two sections.
One part is a large swimming pool, which also serves as the dock for Tom Shipbuilding Company. Franky and Yokozuna play and swim here on weekdays.
The other part is a two-story building with several rooms above and below, which functions as the headquarters of Tom ...
Grand Line, the Capital of the Seven Waters
Since last year, Mr. Tom of Tom Shipbuilding Company successfully built a sea train capable of traveling on water. This island, once disrupted by the dawn of the Great Pirate Era, had suffered from poor trade, rising costs, restless residents, and a declining shipyard.
Yet, hope had been rekindled.
The World Gover...
"Hahaha!!!"
"Ahahaha!!!"
In response to Kuzan's question, Gnar's maniacal laughter echoed across the quiet sea.
At this moment, Gnar generously addressed their doubts.
"Correct!"
Gnar slowly extended his hands, and the red, boiling blood began to flow around him.
"Now, I’ve achieved my goal, and the power I’ve gained is even more perfect than I imag...
Real Madrid 4:1 Union Berlin, with a total score of 5:4! Counting injury time, there were still 15 minutes before the end of the game.
Real Madrid, who had applied high pressure throughout the match, now retreated to their own half, planning to use defensive counterattacks to run down the clock. Since Mourinho's tenure, the defensive counterattack strategy had been deeply ingrained in th...

"Siu!"
Real Madrid's home game was full of momentum, and with nearly 60 minutes left, they had enough time for a comeback.

At this moment, the entire sea was filled with red, representing fire, and blue, representing ice.
The opposing forces expanded, collided, swallowed each other, and melted. The intersection of hot and cold air caused the first strong wind to appear on the usually calm sea, and the surrounding waters began to churn and make waves.
"So... so awesome..."
All the prisoners in the ...

It only took a moment to open their eyes.
Some pirates, excited to wake up because they had been freed, jumped up to celebrate. But by the time their feet landed, the calm blue sea had turned into a frozen wasteland of ice and snow.
The sea was completely frozen in an instant, and the cold air made the prisoners shiver uncontrollably.

The sound of violent explosions echoed throughout Impel Down.
After a minute, the explosions stopped and the smoke slowly dissipated. Impel Down, once known as an impenetrable fortress, was now riddled with holes, with countless cracks spreading across the walls. Seawater poured in from the cracks, making gurgling sounds.

It only takes a moment...
As countless golden lights flashed across the sky, explosions echoed through Impel Down.
The prisoners who had just broken out and tasted freedom were instantly forced back into the prison.
"Help me..."
"Is this... a Marine Admiral?"
"Why don't our weapons work at all..."
"A monster..."
Facing the elemen...
45 minutes after the Impel Down jailbreak
From Impel Down LV4 to LV1, corpses of guards and prisoners littered the ground. Aside from this, there was no movement—only a deathly silence, akin to a true hell.
On the sea level, the bloody fighting continued, but the outcome had been decided...

Su Luo volunteered to take the free kick he had earned. He hoped to use this opportunity to score an away goal and diminish Real Madrid's advantage. Every next goal would be a bonus!
Real Madrid set up a wall, ready to defend. Stars such as Ronaldo, Modric, and Bale were among them. Commentator Zhan Jun couldn't help but joke:
"This should be the most expensive wall in the world."...
In April 2016, the temperature in Madrid gradually climbed. The whole city fell into an anxious atmosphere. Real Madrid was currently only 1 point behind Barcelona, with 6 rounds left in the league, making it still possible to win the championship. They were launching their final sprint toward the Triple Crown.
With a full bench, Real Madrid swept Eibar 4-0. The Bernabéu home game was i...
LV2, Wild Beast Hell
The jailers in this area were already aware of the chaos unfolding below and were on high alert.
In less than ten minutes, the escaped prisoners from LV3 Starvation Hell had surged through to LV2.
Looking around, the spiral staircase was crowded with prisoners armed with various weapons, rushing towards them.
"Wow, ah, ah, ah..."...
In the scorching red LV4 Blazing Hell.
The hot blood pools bubbled and gurgled, and the burning flames scorched the entire prison.
On the green stone floor, the corpses of various prisoners and jailers lay scattered, but neither Gnar nor Magellan paid them any attention at the moment.
"Poison Dragon!"
"Blood Dragon!"
Three enormous poisonous dragons and blood ...
BOOM...
As the elevator suddenly stopped, surrounded by a group of jailers, the figure of Impel Down Director Magellan, with blue venom flowing all over his body, appeared in front of everyone.
This shocked all the escaped prisoners.
To all the prisoners in Impel Down, Magellan was a demon-like figure from hell. On the other hand, the guards roared with rel...

The Square of Naval Headquarters
Amid lively cheers, the awarding ceremony of the Marine's Three Admirals was slowly held.
Even in such a world, a grand ceremony like this cannot end easily. Various speeches and oaths must be made, and no one can be missing.
Fortunately, after going through the tedious steps, Marine Admiral Sengoku announced the orders of t...
"We seized some opportunities in the first half, but unfortunately, we couldn't finish the game. The opponent's ability to capitalize on chances was stronger. We didn't make too many mistakes and still conceded 3 goals."
"I have to say that Su Luo is indeed a player who can change the course of the game."
"We also have superstars, but today we were a little unlucky."

When Union Berlin scored their second goal, the Real Madrid coach realized that it might be difficult for them to win this game. Union Berlin would defend deeply, counterattack, and keep putting pressure on Real Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't in top form today. He was disturbed by Su Luo's defense and frequently made irrational decisions. For instance, instead of passing to open teamma...
