After ten minutes, Luffy, Galdino, and Buggy had finished eating.
Galdino and Buggy couldn't eat anymore since they had also eaten before. But Luffy couldn't stop eating.
To make sure he had enough food, he also grilled half of the Sphinx and kept the other half for later.
No matter how weird the beast was, it was just food for him.
And, this food was good. Because it not only helped him get stronger, but it also made him satisfied.
Despite eating full every single day, Luffy hadn't felt this satisfied before.
"Now that we have finished eating, let's go!"
"But, where can we find the stairs to the third floor?" Buggy asked.
"Isn't that there?" Galdino said while pointing in a certain direction.
"No need! While fighting that guy, I sensed a shortcut to the third floor. Let me take you there."
Luffy said while walking a certain distance. He started blowing wind into his arm.
It slowly grew. The hand slowly turned into the size of a giant.
But it wasn't enough. He coated his arm with Armament Haki, jumped into the air, and smashed the surface.
[Gomu Gomu No- Elephant Gun]
Bang! Crack! Crack!
The floor began to crack. Galdino and Buggy also noticed the situation and screamed.
"You idiot, we should take a quieter path. Why are you making so much ruckus?"
Only then did Luffy realize the problem. He grabbed them and apologized.
"I'm sorry!"
Whoosh!
Luffy's body turned tiny as three of them fell towards the third floor.
At this moment, several guards also arrived where Luffy and others had fallen.
"Monitoring Room! We're at the site on Level 2! Can you bring up the image?"
"What happened here? There is a hole big enough for a Sphinx to fall through!"
"What exactly is Straw Hat trying to do?"
Just when those people were checking the hole, they noticed several figures coming towards them.
They started sweating and started responding to the monitoring room.
"Look! We have trouble. The prisoners of Level 2 are out of their cells! How did they get the keys?"
"Is this more of Straw Hat's work? The guards are in danger!"
At this moment, the prisoners started throwing away their chains and rushed toward the guards.
"You have our respect and gratitude, Captain Buggy! Our Saviour!"
One of the men spoke with a sinister expression as he rushed forward.
The guard panicked and got frightened as he asked.
"This is Level 2. Asking for backup immediately! The prisoners are rioting!"
"Bring Blugori to Level 2!"
The guard from the monitoring room shouted.
"Hey! I found why Straw Hat is here!"
One of the guards shouted.
The guard who had previously given the order turned around and asked.
"You did? How?"
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku at Navy Headquarters says there is no doubt about it."
"The intruder Monkey D Luffy and the condemned prisoner Portgas D Ace are brothers!!!"
"Then Straw Hat's trying to reduce Fire Fist before he is executed! That has to be it!"
Another guard shouted.
"That explains why he keeps going down from one hell to another! We were too preoccupied with the Whitebeard's Impending Attack! If Straw Hats somehow succeeds, we could have a major catastrophe on our hands."
"Hurry up and inform Warden Magellan of this and put down the riot on Level 2!"
.......
Navy Headquarters- The Grandline
"Ha ha! Ha ha!"
"What's so funny, Garp? At a critical time like this in the world's sea….! This is a disaster!"
"First Enies Lobby, then attack on the Celestial Dragon, and now this! It's unprecedented!"
Sengoku slapped the table in front of him and shouted towards Garp, who was sitting on a couch nearby.
"Even if we take into account the escape of Golden Lion, the Pirate that could fly."
"That was still 20 years ago! Out of hundreds of thousands of prisoners, no one else has ever been able to break in or out throughout history!"
"The Great Prison Impel Down has been impregnable for all these years. And, the first person to ever break in and ruin its reputation is your grandson, Garp!!"
Sengoku shouted at Garp with a furious look on his face.
On the side, Garp started laughing till his eyes burst into tears.
"I'm so proud of that boy. He's great."
Sengoku helplessly turned around and said.
"Bartholomew Kuma said he annihilated the Straw Hat Pirates at Sabody. So that was a lie."
"Well, I never believe a Warlord's words! But how did Straw Hat get through the blockade surrounding the prison?"
Then, he suspiciously turned around and grabbed Garp by his collar and furiously shouted.
"If you weren't called the Navy Hero, I would make you pay for the sin of your entire family, Garp!"
"Ha ha ha! This old man's life isn't worth nearly enough to pay for a fiasco like this! Ha Ha Ha!"
...…..
Level 3 Impel Down;
Luffy, Galdino, and Buggy had landed on the sand.
"Hot, Hot, Hot! The floor's like a frying pan."
Luffy screamed while jumping around. But then he stopped and realized.
"It doesn't feel hot at all."
At this moment, Galdino and Buggy screamed.
"Don't yell at instinct! And, it's hot here. How can you not feel it?"
Luffy shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Maybe because I faced an even hotter situation before."
Compared to the heat of magma, this felt like nothing. The only reason why he felt hot was simply because this wasn't his body.
His body felt the heat and sent the information to his brain, to which Luffy reacted.
But Luffy had experienced greater heat than this. So, he quickly calmed down.
"But it's so quiet here!"
"Straw Hat, my wax is melting. Even the food is being cooked. We underestimated the heat."
Galdino pointed at the wax containers and said.
Hearing that, Luffy happily smiled and said.
"Then, let's eat first."
Galdino and Buggy grabbed him by his neck and said.
"You just ate."
Galdino turned toward Buggy and said.
"Let's find the way out! The more we search, the faster we can leave."
But while they were saying this, Luffy suddenly grabbed them and the food before they disappeared.
At the same time, a large net was pulled up, grabbing a lot of sand, but that slowly seeped out of the net, leaving it empty.
"Wh-what just happened?"
"Net! There was a trap."
Galdino and Buggy only reacted after they saw the net.
"Straw Hat Luffy and the other two have escaped. Damn it! Where did they go?"
A little creature the size of a cat spoke. He had a square face and wore a white suit. He also had two bat-shaped wings behind his back and a giant hat.
"Hello! Who are you?"
Suddenly, the creature found a large palm on his head. When he turned around, he didn't see anyone.
He had to turn around just to find Luffy crouching down and asking him with a big smile.
Despite being in this situation, the little guy didn't panic and said.
"My name is Saldeath. I am the captain of the guard commander of the Blugori. You should give up and let me capture you. Because the floor under this is patrolled by Four Roaming Jailer Beasts."
When he said that, Buggy and Galdino, who were standing far away, shook and held each other, with frightened expressions.
"He is right. I definitely don't want to see them or the warden."
Luffy nodded and shook his head.
"You might be right, but I can't give up. I have to save my brother."
Hearing that, Saldeath narrowed his eyes and said.
"Give up, Straw Hat! Fire Fist Ace is a fuse that will light up the war between Marines and the Whitebeard Pirate. Even if you do reach the floor below, they will only send him to the Marineford faster."
"There is no way you can save him from there. So, you must just give up the resistance right here."
Hearing his words, Luffy heavily sighed.
Different worlds, but the same reason.
He knew Marines wanted to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates so that they didn't need to worry about the Emperors of Sea.
They wanted to set an example.
Through Robin, he learned a lot about this war and the problems they were going to face.
If Marines won, his brother would die, and the Whitebeard Pirates would be destroyed.
If the Pirates won, the Marines would be ashamed everywhere in the world, and the number of pirates would only increase.
If he were just this Luffy, he wouldn't have cared. Because that's none of his business.
But he was not.
He had grown a lot under Liam's ideology and knew his vice captain's personal goal.
Bring Peace in this chaotic world!
So, he did start caring about it. Even if it were for his vice captain, he couldn't just ignore it.
He looked at Saldeath and said.
"You might be right. But I must save my brother."
"So!"
At this moment, he glared towards the beasts and guards rushing towards him.
