Your POV:

"... When did we start going up again... ? This prison really is a labyrinth..."

Luffy: It's so hot... And I'm hungry...

"More seastone nets ! We're getting out of- BUARG !!"

Sphinx: RAVIOLI !!

Luffy: Damn it ! That lion again !!

???: WAIT, LION !! I came to help !!

"... H- Heh... ?!"

Luffy: EHH ?! ZORO ?!

'Zoro': NO !!

Luffy: Wh... ? That's not Zoro...

Bonclay: LONG TIME NO SEE !! STRAW-CHAN !!

Luffy: BON-CHAAAN !! I'm a little disappointed that it's not Zoro !! But you're still alive ?!

Bonclay: Outta my way you idiots !! What the hell are ya doing to my friends !!

Saldeath: Come on, Sphinx !! Counterattack-... !!

"Phew... That's gotta keep it down for now..."

Sphinx: S... Spaghetti...

Bonclay: You need to keep beasts down with force ! Ngahahaha !

Saldeath: SPHIIIIIINX !! Now there's another escapee... ! Are these guys going down so they can gain more allies ?!

Luffy: HEY, BON-CHAN, I THOUGHT YOU DIED !! YOU TOOK OUR PLACE BACK THEN !!

Bonclay: NGAHAHAHAHAHA !! DON'T JOKE AROUND !! OKAMA DON'T DIE, YOU KNOW !! EH ?! IS THAT TRUE ?!

Saldeath: Blugori !! You absolutely can't let them get away !!

Bonclay: By the way, are you really planning on going to Level 5 ?!

"If we say yes, would you tell us how to get there ?"

Bonclay: Well, there's actually someone I want to see on Level 5 too !! then, let's go together !!

Luffy: REALLY ?!

Intercom: We believe that some prisoners have joined the intruders Strawhat Luffy and his vice-captain. We're sending their information now ! Prisoner No. E8200, Buggy the Clown. Prisoner No. D0464, former Baroque Works agent, Galdino, also known as "Mr. Three". Prisoner No. C9915, also a former Baroque Works Agent, Bentham, also known as "Mr. 2 Bonclay". Currently, the intruders and Mr. 2 Bonclay are running free in the N block of level 3 !! the Blugori can't stand against them !! We believe they're heading to level 4 !! As for the former two, they are...

Prisoners: Instigating a riot in level 2... Intruders running wild... Kukuku... This is getting pretty interesting ! This will kill some time !

Prisoner: It's just gonna end with them getting captured...

Magellan: WHAT HAPPENED TO SALDEATH ?!

Guard: The Blugori can't stand against the intruders and Mr. 2... So he's putting down the riot on level 2...

Magellan: WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY REPORT THIS TO ME EARLIER ?!

Hannyabal: You were busy ogling Lady Hancock, so you ignored the report...

Sadi: Has our guest departed , warden ? The preparations for the hunt have been completed... Mmm~, what do we do~ ?

Magellan: Oh, Sadi-Chan, is anyone on level 3 ?

Sadi: The Minotaur, mmm~, is there.

Magellan: But there's room to run around on level 3. he won't be able to corner them... We'll leave the mess upstairs to Saldeath... Gather all the remaining Impel Down can muster here at level 4 !! if they escape the Minotaur and fall here to the inferno hell, then I will execute them myself !! They're underestimating the great prison Impel Down... !

Hannyabal/Sadi: ... ... *Glups*...

Luffy: What's with this guy ?! Those were some amazing moves !!

Bonclay: IT'S THE MINOTAUR !! It's a beastly guard with no blood or tears !! He's a monster that treats people like trash !!

"A monster, or does he have a devil fruit power..."

Bonclay: OWWWWW !!

Luffy: Bon-Chan ?! Fast...

"LOOK OUT !! HOME-RUN !!"

"Haa... Haa... Haa... If there are more of these guys down there, it will be a pain... You really get rusty playing babysitter for years..."

Luffy: Are you okay, Bon-chan ?!

Bonclay: Haa... I- I thought I was gonna die... For a second, I saw Okama paradise... You really are strong ! That monster, it's probably still alive, but it definitely felt that... !

Bonclay: Jeez, this is terrible ! My makeup is ruined ! I need some cosmetic right now ! And two shoes, and some clothes, and a weapon... And some booze, tears, and the Okama way !

Luffy: I wanna go down fast. I'm thirsty and hungry too.

Bonclay: There's nothing to sweat about, Straw-chan ! Getting from level 3 from level 4 is totally easy !

"... Is that so ?"

Bonclay: Yup, totally easy ! See that giant wall ? Climb it and take a look !

*PSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

"YEOOOOWTCH !! Are you for real ?! This wall's as hot as a kettle ! Can't even touch it !"

Bonclay: That's the point ! Look down there...

Luffy: ... What the hell is with this hot air and smoke ?! It's hard enough just standing up !

Bonclay: Right ?! But, the place you want to go to is right down there ! LEVEL 4, THE BLAZING HELL !!

"And here I thought it was hot in here... I can already feel my lungs slowly getting steamed from the inside..."

Bonclay: It's just like you said... Level 4 is like a giant kettle ! If you descend, what awaits you is a boiling lake of blood, and a blazing sea of fire... ! You can jump down from here..., but if you miss one step, you won't just get burned a bit... You're putting your life on the line !

"... What a nice change of pace... You said there was someone you wanted to meet on level 5, didn't you ? What kind of guy would you risk your life to meet ?"

Bonclay: He's called a "Man of Miracles"... Arrested for meaningless reason... Also called "Iva", from the Grand Line pink paradise... The queen of the Kamabakka kingdom !! The idol of all the Okama in the world ! The strongest Okama queen in history !!

"Wait, Iva... As in, 'Ivankov'... ?"

Bonclay: Indeed !! You know her ?! I've always wanted to meet him at least once !! And if possible, to save her !!

"... Okay, I might take a little detour after we free Ace..."

???: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH !!

Luffy: ... Hm ?

Buggy/Three: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH !!

Bonclay: ... NGYAAAAA, HOLD IT !! THINGS WERE GOING SO WELL, WHY'D YOU BRING THE MINOTAUR BACK ?! AND DIDN'T YOU TWO SAID YOU WERE GONNA ESCAPE ?!

Luffy: You wanted to come with us after all ?

Buggy: WHY WOULD I WANT TO GO TO HELL WITH YOU ?! NO WAY !! WE WERE HIDING, AND HE CAME FALLING FROM THE SKY !! I HAVE NO IDEA WHY !!

"Oh, that was me. I'm absolutely not sorry in the slightest."

Buggy: I'LL KILL YOU !!

Three: Jeez... I'm done... I should have let myself get captured... !

Buggy: Damn monsters, you and the Minotaur... This is a matter of life and death here ! i've got no choice but to use my secret weapon ! Hey, you remember the thing I used to bow away an entire town ? My Special Buggy Ball ?!

"... ... Nah."

Buggy: ... ... The... The Buggy Ball is a gigantic cannonball... Well, it's kind of my favorite weapon...

"I know that. I just really don't feel like being nice to you."

Buggy: YOU BASTARD !!

three: if you decided to name it after yourself, you must have a lot of confidence in this weapon, the Buggy Ball...

Buggy: That's right !! And I took that power and compressed it into a new weapon, small enough to hide it on my body ! The Muggy Ball !!

Three: But it's not your name anymore !!

Buggy: ANYWAY, EAT THIS !! MUGGY BALL SPECIAL !!

Luffy: UWOH !! Awesome !!

Bonclay: Well done !!

"... Don't rest yet ! It's still conscious !! Double Tap now !!"

Bonclay: This'll do !!

Luffy: hey, 3 !! Can you use your wax powers here ?!

Three: Well, yes, but it'll melt after like, three seconds...

Luffy: It's enough ! Do it !!

Bonclay: FLY FLY !! I'LL FLY !! OKAMA KENPO !! MEMOIR OF~... THAT WINTER SKY !!

"This time, do me a favor, AND STAY DOWN FOR GOOD !! GIGANT... HAMMER !!"

Luffy: Okay, one last hit !!

Three: Here we go, Strawhat !! Candle Lock !!

Luffy: ALL RIGHT !! GOMU GOMU NO...

All: ALL RIGHT !! WE TOOK OUT THE MONSTER FROM HELL !!

Luffy: AW YEAH, LET'S GO TO LEVEL 4 !!

Buggy/Three: WHAT ?!

Intercom: This is Level 4... All forces, from warden Magellan down, have been gathered on level 4.

Hancock: How long will it be until the execution ?

Momonga: Twenty-nine hours... Tomorrow at 3 in the afternoon, everything will end... Well, that's only in the very unlikely case that nothing happens. He'll be escorted from here tomorrow morning.

Hancock: ... ...

Soldiers: VICE-ADMIRAL MOMONGA !!

Momonga: What is it ?

Soldiers: It seems that red hair has gotten into a little dispute in the New World.

Momonga: The Red Hair ?! There must be some mistake... Why now ? With who... ?!

Soldiers: one of the Four emperors, Kaido... ! According to headquarters, Kaido went to take down Whitebeard. But red Hair interfered... And now, everyone's in a cold sweat... !!

Momonga: ... For something like this to happen... What an unstable sea... ! A dispute between two of the four emperors... This is a situation that we can't interfere with ! We're on a path to war with Whitebeard... And we might not have a chance to avoid it... ! The whole world can sense that... hurry, to Marineford !!

Soldiers: YES, SIR !!

Three: THE INFERNO HELL'S DOWN THERE, YOU KNOW ?!

Buggy: THERE'S NO WAY !! WE'RE NOT GOING TO LEVEL 4 !!

Luffy: Why ?

Buggy/Three: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHY ?!

Three: WE WANT TO ESCAPE HERE !! ESCAPE !!

Buggy: YEAH, WE'RE TRYING TO GO UP !! UP !!

Luffy: Uwah ! A huge lump of blood came out of my nose !

Buggy/Three: ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING ?!

Bonclay: Straw-chan, just leave them. They're just little nothings with no balls.

"Couldn't have said it any better myself."

Buggy: WHO'RE YOU CALLING A BIG NOSED CLOWN ?!

Bonclay: WHAT ?! Is that what you hear when I talk ?! All right, I've decided !! I'm spinning !!

Luffy: ... Hey, is it just me, or is the ceiling getting higher ?

Three: No, you're right. And it's making a weird noise. I wonder what kind of trick they're pulling...

"Hmmm... Oh, I think I get it... WE'RE FALLING !!

All: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!

Baggy: Oh, crap !! My Muggy Ball was so strong it broke the floor !!

"I hit his shnoz too hard with my hammer !!"

Luffy: No ! It was because my punch was too strong !!

Bonclay: No, it was because my kick was too violent !!

Three: no no, it was my wax wax... Uh... My uh... never mind...

All: YOU'VE GOT NOTHING !! WE'RE GONNA BURN UP !!

Prisoners: Hey, please stop... ! We're gonna die !!

Guard: If so, that's your punishment. How many people did you kill in order to be sent here ? Do it.

Prisoners: What's going on ? Magellan, Hannyabal, and the beast guards are all gathered... What's happening on this floor... ?!

Magellan: if they're coming down, it'll be through this door. No information yet ? Did they beat the Minotaur ?

Hannyabal: Chief warden, when you hand your seat over to me, please put it in a more open place.

Magellan: Quiet. I like closed spaces. I'd like to close off my heart from you too.

Sadi: We've waited for so long~, we might as well just go to level 3.

Magellan: Don't be in such a rush, Sadi-Chan.

Sadi: It's not me, it's them. They're always thirsty for blood. And, Mmm~, they're not very patient.

Guard: Reporting !! the intruders are currently entering the chimney on level 3, though we can't visually confirm that yet...

Magellan: if they fall, that'll save us some work... the only thing below there is the boiling lake of blood. They've all got devil fruit powers. If they fall in, they're done for... !

Guard: CHIEF WARDEN MAGELLAN !! I HAVE A REPORT !! THE INTRUDERS HAVE ALREADY REACHED THIS FLOOR !!

Magellan: WHAT ?! What did you say ?! What's going on ?!

Guard: It appears that they fell through the chimney !!

Magellan: That just leads into the lake of blood !! How did they survive ?!

Guard: well, we have received reports from the upper levels... That Strawhat Luffy's vice-captain has been seen flying around on some sort of floating skull ! So they may have been able to evade the lake of blood that way ! What's more...

Magellan: WHAT ?!

Guard: It seems the demon beast guard Minotaur fell too... And when we found it, it wasn't moving !!

Sadi: Don't tell me they beat him... ?!

Magellan: Calm down. There are only two staircases they can use without permission from the guards, and aside from the chimney they used to come here. we'll split into three groups. Hannyabal, we'll leave the stairs to level 3 to you. Sadi-Chan, take the demon beast guards and protect the stairs to level 5.

Sadi: What !! I mmm~ hate defending !! I want to attack !! there's no point in living if I don't get to attack, warden !!

Hannyabal: 'If they come my way, I'll let them go and the warden will take the heat..'

Magellan: Not satisfied ?

Sadi: Aaah ! Stop mmm~ sighting !

Hannyabal: Why me too ?!

Magellan: After we capture them, you can do whatever you want with them.

Sadi: Awesome~, I can't wait.

Magellan: the remaining guards, you're all going after them !! I don't care if you kill them !!

Guards: SIR !!

Sadi: Mmm~, leave them barely alive, okay ?

Buggy: It's hot !! Hot hot hot ! Even this passage is gaudily hot !!

Three: the hot air... is making my lungs hot !!

Luffy: Come on... I want to get out of here as fast as possible !! Where do we go ?!

Bonclay: Ngahahaha... You guys got it all wrong. "if you clear your mind, even fire is Okama !" but I understand how you feel ! It's a little hotter here than it was above... Mm ? Yeah, it's a little warm. Yup, it feels kinda like I'm getting burned... IT'S SO HOOOOOOT !!

"YOU'RE SUFFERING THE MOST !!"

Luffy: Hm ? Over there ! Let's go !!

"H- hey, Luffy !! Where are you going ?!"

Bonclay: SO HOOOOOOOOT !!

Three: Why won't you shut up ?!

Bonclay: ... What' in the direction Straw-chan headed... ?

Bonclay: The kitchen is that way !! I'm starving too !!

"Kitchen ?! Luffy's nose for that will always amaze me..."

Buggy: Ohh ! That would be great !! it would be amazing if they had some booze !

Three: Wait, Buggy !!

Luffy: Hot !! Hot !! Hot !! Something smells good !! It's hot !! But it smells good !!

Guards: We found them !! It's Strawhat Luffy !!

Luffy: Uwah, there are so many !! Haa... Ha... It's hotter than the floor above !! BUT IF I EAT SOMETHING, I'LL BE A HUNDRED TIMES STRONGER !! GOMU GOMU NO...

Buggy: What's wrong with you, partner ?! You must be crazy hungry too !!

Three: Take a look at how many enemies there are... ! Level 4 is usually filled with screams and cries of agony. But there's not a single guard in the fire torture area ! Look at the soldiers moving in formation ! This is totally out of the ordinary !

Three: They'll check the entrances and exits soon. We'll be ambushed... ! We might even be trapped on this floor !!

Buggy: They're gonna ambush us on level 4 ?! They're after Strawhat, aren't they ?! we're only here by accident !!

Three: Regardless, they know our names and faces now. What I'm afraid of is, in order to stop this mess, it's highly likely that Impel Down's "All stars" have been gathered on this floor... !! Of course, that includes the three remaining demon beast guards ! And if the Chief warden Magellan shows up... It's over !

*SPLUT*

"Luffy, look out !!"

Luffy: Gah ! Ahh, that surprised me... I thought that was a spear or something...

"Speaking off, what's this purple thing... jelly ?"

Bonclay: GAAAAAAAH !! LOOK UP !!

Bonclay: M... MAGELLAN !!

Magellan: You rats... !!
