84 83. Way to Impel Down

"I need a ship."-Jon

"Eh, Jon-kun? What do you mean?"-Koala

"I need to go somewhere as soon as possible, so i need a ship."-Jon

"What? Where did you want to go?"-Koala

"Impel Down."-Jon

"WHAT?!"-Koala

Koala ask Jon what he mean by that, so Jon just ask her Dragon's room. He will explain it there and he also call Dragon. Jon then ask the nurse to bring him to Dragon's room after he call Dragon. There is Koala too in there, they have waited for Jon.

"What do you mean you want to leave? Don't you know your body condition?"-Koala

Jon just throw a newspaper to the table, and they read it.

"Fire Fist Ace execution, i need to stop it."-Jon

Koala have a confused look, but Dragon seem to understand something. Jon then explain that Ace is Luffy's sworn brother. He don't know if Luffy or his friends know this news already, but he's sure if they know this, they will do the same with him.

"If Luffy go there, i will be there to help him. If he's not, then i will help Ace so Luffy will not be sad. If he's someone i don't know then i will not bother with it, but i have met Ace, and even if i don't really know him as a person, as my Captain's brother, it is enough of a reason for me to help. Beside, we have made a promise to gather at Sabaody again, so i will go from this place even if this is not happening. It's just move my schedule forward."-Jon

They all silent for some time, and Jon also didn't rush for their answer. He is the one asking for help here, so he will not be rude by demanding answer right away.

"Are you sure you want to go?"-Dragon

"Yes."-Jon

"Then why Impel Down? Shirohige will most likely attack Marineford at the execution day. So if you join them, your chance will be higher to save him."-Dragon

"There is no guarantee that they will not execute Ace right away when Shirohige appear. His survival rate is higher in Impel Down. Beside, i'm a ninja and i'm injured, my chance will be higher if i do an infiltration and avoid direct confrontation like war."-Jon

Jon can't say that it's because there is a mission that told him to go there. He didn't have any good plan, so he decide to follow the Mission. It's his best choice right now afterall.

"Impel Down is located in Calm Belt, it is filled with seakings, and there's no wind. The only way to go there is using Tarai Current. But you need someone to open the Gate of Justice or you will trapped there forever."-Dragon

"I have my way, i just need a small boat that can sail in that current."-Jon

Dragon look at Jon's eyes and Jon look back at him. He think Jon will be intimidated? Heeh, he don't know Jon has met the God himself, why would he got intimidated by a Dragon?

"Koala, prepare a ship and some people. Send him to Tarai Current near Enies Lobby, but we won't involve ourselves with this directly. Boy, if you really succeed infiltrating that place, go to level 5 and fire this flare signal. Someone will meet with you, and you need to give a man named Ivankov this letter."-Dragon

"Ivankov? Did you mean Emporio Ivankov?"-Jon

"Oh, you know him?"-Dragon

"Well, i read many news and documents. I have read his name in some documents. If i'm not wrong, he should be Kamabakka Kingdom 'Queen', if he can be considered as woman. Hmm, maybe i should use 'it' instead of 'he'."-Jon

"You are so rude."-Koala sweatdrop at Jon

"Hahahaha, well, anyway, you are right. He's that Ivankov, and he will help you later. It's time for him to leave that place, he will help you later. We have many things to do, so we can't help you."-Dragon

After that, Koala go out from the room, to prepare the ship and people. Jon also go back to his room and prepare himself. Sometime later, Jon go out and meet with Dragon outside. They go to a port and the RA have prepare a small ship and some people to escort Jon to Tarai Current.

"Normally, we can't go to Impel Down in a week time from here. But this ship have a special machine made by our scientist, so it can reach the Tarai Current in about 6 days at most. So you only have 24 hours before the execution."-Dragon

"So i need to get him at least before 20 hours mark huh?"-Jon

Jon thank Dragon and Koala, then go up the ship, still with his wheelchair. He never thought they will grant his request and even use the fastest ship. Now he just need to rest and prepare his body to the best possible condition.

Sometime later, the ship sailed and it seem the ship's purpose is not only to send him to Impel Down. They also use this chance to send some items. The ship itself isn't a big ship, maybe as big as Sunny. Jon greet and introduced himself to the ship crew.

There is 20 people in this small ship's crew. The Captain is a man named Hack, he is a Fishman, altough Jon didn't know what kind of fish. It seem Hack is one of the strong member in RA. He is sent because they need to come close to Impel Down, and maybe need to fight some Marines.

"You're really a reckless young man, even with your condition you want to do a dangerous thing."-Hack

"What do you mean? I'm a pirate, so i need to fight and survive in any conditions. An injury like this will not stop me. There is something more important than injury that i need to be worried about."-Jon

"Is it saving Fire Fist?"-Hack

"That include in it, the more important thing to do for me is to make sure Luffy won't feel the pain because he lose his beloved family member. I know how it feels, and i will help him to avoid that. Even if i'm failed, at least i have tried, and i will be by his side in his worst day."-Jon

"So you do all of this for your Captain?"-Hack

"Yeah, for me, Luffy and the other is my saviour, my friends, and my family. When i feel lonely and don't know what to do with my life, they come and take me with them."-Jon

"You sure love them so much."-Hack

"Haha, who will not love their family? For me, family is from heart, not just from blood."-Jon

After some small talk with Hack, Jon go to his room and make a plan. Luckily, RA have some informations about Impel Down and it's levels. This is also Jon's first time knowing that there are 6 level, instead of 5 like what most people know.

"Ivankov really did a great job in learning that prison."-Jon

Impel Down levels:

Level 1. Crimson Hell

Containing trees and grasses with sharp bladed leaves that can cut prisoner's skin when they're forced to run on them.

Level 2. Wild Beast Hell

Filled with Wild Beast that will prevent prisoners from running away and scare them everyday.

Level 3. Starvation Hell

A hot place like a desert because of the level 4 heat that rising to this level. Prisoners are given little food and water to barely keep them alive.

Level 4. Blazing Hell

Filled with boiling blood to torture the prisoners, even from another levels.

Level 5. Freezing Hell

The coldest place in Impel Down, that freeze everything in it.

Level 5.5 Newkama Land

A place hidden between level 5 and level 6 that become Ivankov's hidden place with many prisoners that have been turned into Okama

Level 6. Eternal Hell

Filled with most dangerous criminals, but didn't have any torture facility and simply equipment to lock the prisoners very tightly.

"So Ivankov is recruiting people, that's rather smart. But did he really need to turn them into okama first?"-Jon has sweatdrop on his head

Jon keep making plans from every information he got from Dragon before. He don't know why Dragon decide to help him, but he's thankful for that. Maybe he want to help Luffy but can't show himself, Jon didn't know for sure. Jon then look at his Mission that come after he read Ace's execution news.

[Mission: Go to Impel Down and try to save Ace

Reward: Unknown]

'What did the system mean by Unknown?'-Jon

Jon try to think about it and he stop because he can't think of anything. He will know what is it when he get it later. For now, he need to prepare himself to make his condition better even if it's just for a little.

For the next few days, Jon just rest and prepare his body. He also got along rather well with the ship crew. They all have different reasons for joining Revolutionary Army, but the same thing is, they want the change the world. They all think that the world now is not a good place and only profitting those in power.

Jon didn't voiced his opinion and just hear their story. He haven't see the world fully, so he can't judge who is right and who is wrong. He know everyone have their own belief of what's right and what's wrong. So did him, Jon have his own belief and he will hold onto it even if other people say it's wrong.

At the 4th day, Jon ask Hack if they have a secure call line. Hack said yes, and Jon ask to borrow it to call someone. Then Jon try to call all of his friend's number but it seem Dragon is right, their denden mushi is dead already. So he call Vivi, she must've tried to call him with their couple denden mushi which is dead too of course.

*puru puru puru* *kacha*

"Hello?"-Vivi

"Aqua, this is Jet."-Jon

"J-jet, i-is that really you?"Vivi voice is shaking

"Yeah, the one and only Jet the ninja."-Jon

"It's really you *sniff* i... i can't call you for many days and *sniff* and our denden mushi suddenly didn't want to eat and died this morning. I can't even call the others."-Vivi

"Sorry Aqua, many things happen and i can't call you before."-Jon

Jon then told her what happen to them at Sabaody and what happen in these past few days. But he avoid mentioning Revolutionary Army and his plan to infiltrate Impel Down. He don't know if this line is really secure, so he won't take a risk that can make Vivi and Alabasta getting connected to Revolutionary Army.

"T-then what about everyone else?"-Vivi

"I think they're fine, even someone with injury like me is fine, so the healthy ones like them should be fine too."-Jon

"That's a relief, how is your injury?"-Vivi

"I'm getting better each day, don't worry."-Jon

"That's good. Uh, Jet?"-Vivi

"Yeah?"-Jon

"Uh, actually Ace.... "-Vivi

"Hmm? What about Ace? Did you meet him again?"-Jon

Jon try to feint his ignorance about Ace's news, or Vivi will ask him what he will do. He can't fool her once he say he knew about the execution.

"Jet, tell me the truth, did you know the news about Ace already?"-Vivi

"Eh? What news?"-Jon

"So you know."-Vivi

'Shit, she can see trough my lie."-Jon

"Now tell me what do you want to do!"-Vivi

Jon just sigh and tell her the truth, she just listen and not answering for sometime, making Jon worried and scared.

"You won't die?"-Vivi

"I won't, i promise."-Jon

Vivi didn't forbid him and only ask him to stay alive. After some time, they ended their call and Jon revising his plans again. He can't let Vivi read a news about his capture or death after he promised her. 2 days later, they arrive beside the Tarai Current near Enies Lobby.
