Chapter 292 - Impeldown 01.

[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Impeldown , First Half of Grandline.

...

...

As soon as the Sea Kings moved away from the front of the ship, the prison appeared to the Straw Hat pirates on the Black Pearl, being an immense structure that reached down to the bottom of the sea.

"Is this the biggest prison in the world?" Chopper asked.

"Yes, the worst criminals are held there..." Usopp commented.

"Will I find the others there..." Hachi couldn't help but ask, since his companions were brought here after their defeat by Nami in the East Blue.

"How are we going to invade it, Luffy?" Kuina approached Luffy.

"Through the entrance, of course. Breaking any structure from the bottom of the sea would cause the pressure to fill with water. Even Shirahoshi couldn't control that, and eventually, many people would die..." Luffy spoke while holding the ringing Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"How many floors does this place have?" Vivi asked.

"Impel Down is known to have five levels." Nojiko replied.

"That's not accurate information." Luffy interrupted them. "There's a secret floor where prisoners with bounties over 100 million are kept. It's at the lowest level, known as the sixth level." Luffy clarified while Nojiko nodded with this new information.

"Are we going to invade that floor, Luffy?" Nami asked, and Luffy nodded.

"Sounds fun!" Yamato said with a smile.

"Hello..." The Den Den Mushi was finally answered as Enel's voice came from the other side.

"Are you ready?" Luffy asked.

"I'll begin." Enel said as he started to descend his golden ship.

"Hachi, prepare to take the ship to the surface!" Luffy ordered, and Hachi went to the helm.

Meanwhile, in front of the prison, while all the warships seemed relaxed, a cloud appeared above them.

"Hm?! What is that?" A sailor didn't understand the shadow obscuring the sun.

"That's a ship!" Someone shouted, identifying it.

"An enemy attack!" Another shouted.

"Quick, inform them that an unidentified ship is approaching the prison from the air!" They yelled immediately. The sailors grabbed the Den Den Mushi and began dialing immediately to HQ, but then a lightning explosion emerged from the ship and struck all the warships and the prison's surface, expanding to the bottom of the sea.

"What's happening!" The sailor shouted as he saw his Den Den Mushi wither, the snail looking tired as it stuck its tongue out and twisted its antennas with its eyes.

"We've lost communication!" Another shouted.

"Damn it, prepare for battle, inform the director immediately!" Others shouted while someone ran towards the prison entrance.

"Something is coming from the water!" Another pointed to the side of the deck as they aimed weapons and cannons at the ship in the sky.

The shadow began to expand until finally, an enormous ship emerged from the sea, exploding with water and foam everywhere.

"That's..." A sailor pointed to the ship that had just emerged from the water while it was coated. "It's him..." He trembled with his finger pointing. "It's the Black Pearl!" All the sailors were scared at that moment, while the coating exploded, revealing Luffy at the bow of the ship with an excited look towards the front of the prison.

"It's the Straw Hats! What are they doing here!" The crowd exclaimed, while Enel's ship approached the Black Pearl and stayed by its side.

"Let's begin." Luffy announced as he jumped from the ship to the port in front of Impel Down. The sailors quickly pointed their weapons at Luffy and started shooting at him in the air.

"As if that would work." He spoke disdainfully while closing his fist in purple flames and launching it at the ship, creating a burst of flames that consumed the ship, vaporizing all the bullets flying towards him.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM The ship exploded while the other ships were frightened by this power. He landed on the port, and the other ship nearby exploded as a huge lightning bolt struck it.

"What are you doing here?! Ace has already been taken to Marineford, do you think you can get away with attacking Impel Down!" The sailors shouted at him.

"Don't worry, we have a day before the execution at Marineford. For now, we'll invade this prison. That has always been our goal." Luffy spoke with a smile as he released his Haki, spreading throughout the port area. All the sailors and some officers commanding these men fell unconscious to the ground, while the ship Luffy exploded was still on fire, and the one Enel destroyed was in ruins in the sea.

The crew began to disembark from the ship, approaching the captain amidst the chaos. Luffy looked at them, Yamato, Zoro, Kuina, Shirahoshi, Usopp, Chopper, Lami, Reiju, Nami, Nojiko, Alvida, Vivi, Robin, Hachi, and Baby-5, all looking at him with determination. He nodded and began to shrink the ships. Chouchou, Enel, and Hugo landed shortly afterward.

"Let's go!" Luffy said as he started walking towards the enormous prison door that had been closed as soon as some sailors passed through to inform the director about the attack.

The group continued walking calmly while the 19 people passed by all the fallen bodies until Luffy stopped in front of the door.

The sailor was running through the initial corridors. "Attack! We're under attack!" He shouted as he passed by the prison guards.

"Attack? Could it be the Whitebeard pirates!?" They exclaimed, watching the sailor continue running until he found the director's office.

Suddenly, two enormous explosions erupted outside, and everyone on the first floor could hear them. Even the prisoners on level 1 wondered what was happening.

"What is that?!" Director Magellan was in the bathroom again when he heard the explosions, while his secretary looked confused outside.

"Something is happening!" She murmured, a bit scared by the enormous booms caused by Luffy and Enel.

"Enemy attack! The prison is under attack!" A man outside the bathroom shouted.

"Damn it, what's this while I'm taking a dump!" Magellan complained, having no choice but to leave the bathroom while holding himself.

The marine soldier began to explain. "A ship came from the sky and another from the water! It's the Straw Hats! They're attacking the entrance of Impel Down!!" He shouted alarmed, while Magellan frowned at this.

"We must inform HQ immediately!" Magellan said frustrated, knowing this pirate group was too dangerous, even for him.

"We've lost all communications! No Den Den Mushi is working!" The marine soldier cried.

"What?! Chief Jailer Domino, let me see your Den Den Mushi!" He demanded immediately, and the woman handed over the snail, which had its tongue out and looked tired and fainted.

"This...." Even the woman was quite surprised by this.

"This is bad. We need to alert the other levels about this. If the Den Den Mushis aren't working, sound the alarms!" Magellan ordered, and the woman nodded before running out of the room.

"We'll try to stop them at the entrance!" The director said with some determination. Even though he was at a disadvantage, he would fight the group with everything he had.

As they were about to go, a third enormous explosion occurred, so strong that it shook the entire surface of Impel Down, causing the area to tremble.

"This..." The marine soldier immediately cried.

"They've entered. Let's go!" They said, heading to the entrance.

Luffy had punched with such force that the gate flew off. It might have been built with Sea Stone, but his powerful Haki made knocking it down not too difficult.

"Finally, entering Impel Down." Luffy said with a small smile as he began to enter the place.

An alarm began to sound at that moment, with the chief jailer arriving at the security room and instructing the guards to activate it to alert everyone in the prison.

"Hm? What's happening?!" Buggy on the first floor, also known as Level 1: Crimson Hell, looked surprised while in his cell, hearing the alarm blaring throughout the place.

"What is that?!" On Level 2: Beast Hell, the prisoners were all surprised by this too, while all the beasts guarding the place also looked confused.

"HM?" On Level 3: Starvation Hell, where there was a vast hot desert, the animals guarding the floor were surprised by this, while the prisoners, their tongues hanging out due to the dry air, looked towards the sound confusedly from within their cells.

On Level 4: Blazing Hell, Sadi, who was whipping prisoners, looked up as the sirens began to blare.

"Hm?! Is someone attacking the prison or trying to escape..." They wondered.

"Shut up!" Sadi shouted, whipping the man who was murmuring. "Now let's see what's happening..." She said as she picked up her Den Den Mushi, but it was in the same state as the rest of the prison's communicators. "Hm?! What's going on!" She was surprised by this.

On Level 6: Eternal Hell, Hannyabal was calmly dressing in warm clothes to avoid freezing in that arctic desert. "Take this, eat!" He said while throwing pieces of meat to the wolves guarding the floor.

"Hahaha. That's right, get strong. I promise that when I become the director, I'll increase your food even more!" He exclaimed excitedly, thinking about when he would become the prison's director after overthrowing Magellan.

Suddenly, the alarm rang while the wolves continued devouring all the food he threw. Hannyabal looked at this in surprise. "What's happening... Wait! That's it! The director made a mistake! This is my chance to shine and become the director!!!" He exclaimed excitedly as he grabbed his spear and started running towards the door to go to the elevator.

"Hm?! Why isn't my Den Den Mushi working!" He exclaimed, not knowing what was happening.

On the sixth floor, everything seemed silent; after all, the alarm didn't ring in this place, and the sound of emptiness was the only company for these prisoners until someone started making a sound of effort.

"She's starting..." Someone murmured from their cell.

"She never gives up..." Another said with boredom.

"You should stop that..." Jimbei spoke to the person next to him.

"No, I'm going to get out of here!" this person said while trying to remove the shackles.

Meanwhile, on the prison's surface, Magellan continued running towards the entrance. The door was thrown to the side while he approached and saw the pirate group walking calmly. The prison guards were trying to stop them, pointing their weapons but trembling and not launching the first attack.

Magellan walked past the guards as they gained some morale with the director present, while he watched the group walking as if they owned the place, with Luffy leading them.

"Director Magellan? I didn't imagine you would be the first person we'd meet as soon as we entered." Luffy commented, tilting his head to see the director with a small smile.

"Monkey D. Luffy. Do you have any idea what you're doing?" Magellan spoke with anger.

"I'm invading the prison." Luffy replied with a smile.

"Portgas D. Ace is no longer here; your search is futile." Magellan responded, knowing the connection the government had passed on to him between Luffy and Ace.

"Don't worry, I still have business on the sixth level of this prison, and you know that very well." Luffy responded while Magellan clenched his fists, with them starting to drip poison onto the ground.

"It doesn't matter if I fall here today, I will take you with me!" Magellan responded with fury as his Devil Fruit powers began to manifest.

"Purple poison... I thought he would use the red one since he's angry. All right... Let's make him use all his powers." Luffy commented as he moved away from the group and approached to fight the prison director as he began his invasion.
