Chapter 16: Gate of Justice. Finally arrived at Impel Down

Yash was sitting on the top of battleship's mast, with one leg ontop of another, closed eyes. The peace and quiet that Yash was enjoying was soon disrupted by the noises coming from a brightly colored ship, which imitates a circus feel. It has many circus tent designs on it. Its figurehead is an elephant with the trunk as a cannon. The prow also has two cannons on it.

Yash observed that Momonga ordered his crew to ignore them as the trip they are on right now is a lot important but Yash was bored out of his mind.

Sitting on the various edges of the ship, hiding from the Navy crew and waiting to reach the destination for 4 whole days and nights was quite boring and the circus themed ship seems like better entertainment then watching plain and boring sea of calm belt, although the water of ocean is super clear and see-through. Watching same scenery again and again gets boring.

Yash used his air walk to run towards the Big Top(Name of Buggy's ship). The distance between them was vast and took whole 10 minutes, leaving Yash breathless.

"What should we do now? Big sis Alvida." Asks Cabaji, a man with green hair and lean body, wearing typical circus stuntman clothes.

"Don't ask me what to do. It's you guys who wanted to come here and who spent an entire fortune of an eternal pose of Impel down." Says Alvida, a girl with long wavy hair and figure being slim, well-endowed, with dark-green eyes. She wears a white cowboy hat.

"Because we really wanted to save Captain Buggy who has been taken to Impel down." says Mohji, a man with muscular torso and thick lips. He wears a white fur vest that covers the area of his chest, green pants held up by a black sash, and shoes in the shape of animal white fur feet.

After Mohji says so all of the crew on that circus pirate ship starts to cry.

'What a lively bunch.' thought Yash, hovering above the circus ship.

"Look carefully, we are about to enter calm belt where monsters are everywhere. Do you think this ship can sail there? There is only one other course and that is exclusive for navy, They are not going to open the gate of justice for a pirate ship." Says Alvida.

"No way! We can't even get there? If nothing is done Captain Buggy will be executed." Exclaims Mohji.

"Along with his friend Ace kun." Cabaji continued.

'Ace? Isn't that Luffy's brother? They know him?' Yash fell into a deep thought.

'If that's the case then I should atleast inform them about the things I know. After all they seem to care about this matter as well.' Yash thought that before landing on the ship, between everyone among the crowd.

"You guys know Ace?"

Shock was on all of the Buggy pirate's faces, but they soon regained focus, Alvida pointed her Mace at Yash, Cabaji pointed his swords while Mohji and others also took a stance.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Asks Alvida, her tone is filled with caution and authority and her glare is piercing.

"Calm down. It won't do you any good to kill me." Says Yash, not showing any fear of weapons, now that he has gone through death 3 times.

'This guy isn't wary of us at all. It is the sign of the strong.' Alvida thought as she backed away a bit.

"You guys know Ace?" Yash asks again.

"He is our Captain's friend." Says Mohji as he gulps.

"Well then let me tell you something. Vice admiral Momonga is going to Impel down right now, if you head to Impel down through Navy's course, the Gate of justice might still be open when you reach. Their ship is north east from here." Says Yash as he climb on the air like stairs and walk towards The Navy Battleship.

Before anyone can ask anything Yash left. This put the whole crew of Buggy pirates in a dilemma. Should they take this stranger's information as true?

"He was also heading towards Impel down when he left. He must be going there as well. If you guys really want to take the chance this is the best scenario." Says Alvida.

"Yeah let's do it." Says Cabaji.

"Break Captain Buggy out of Impel down." The whole crew cheered as they follow Momonga's Battleship.

Yash sat back down on the top of the Battleship's mast and took a sigh of relief.

'Atleast I have a clear conscience. Whether they guys make it or not doesn't concern me.' Yash thought.

**Half a day later.**

Momonga's Battleship arrive infront of the Gate of Justice, Momonga and the officers under him gathered on the deck.

Yash tightened his grip and was overwhelmed by the sheer size of the Gate of Justice. The Gate of Justice are massive gates, larger than most battle ships, with the Marine logo on the front. Momonga's Battleship is small as an ant infront of it.

The Gate of Justice slowly opens and the Battleship sails inside. Impel Down is a large, submerged tower-like structure whose foundation is at the very bottom of the sea bed. Due to it being built within the Calm Belt, the entire structure is constantly surrounded by gigantic Sea Kings swimming below the water. Along with these beasts, the prison is guarded by a force of Marine battleships.

All of those Marine Battleships make Yash wary, he quickly used Air walk to go infront of Boa Hancock 's room window. Luffy was staring at the Battleship in awe.

"These many Battleship's weren't even in the Buster Call." Says Luffy.

"You had seen a Buster call? I only heard about it. There are 5 battleships lead by Vice admirals, this is Impel down, most dangerous place in the world right now. Ofcourse there are many Battleships." Boa Hancock informs Luffy.

Yash knocks on the window," Hey Luffy? It is about time to go."

"Ah! Yash, I will go in ahead. Make sure to be careful when sneaking inside. There are a lot of Battleships." Luffy exclaims.

"Yeah I noticed." Yash replies.
