Chapter 379: Impel Down’s Third Floor
As everyone watched, Allan stepped forward, unsheathing the golden wolf from his waist. He swung the blade heavily at the stone door, hoping to break through.
But with a loud thud, the sea stone door remained unchanged, showing no sign of damage except for a faint scratch left by the slash.
The pirates all looked disappointed at this result.
Mr. 3 said, Boss, this stone door is made of Sea Stone, which is as hard as diamonds. Its not easy to break it.
Allan nodded, not surprised by the outcome. He knew that the golden wolfs strength was not enough to shatter the durable Sea Stone.
But leaving a mark on the stone was a testament to the golden wolfs worth as a renowned blade.
Mr. 3 asked, Boss, didnt you find a way to break my Sea Stone handcuffs before? Do you have any way to destroy this stone door?
Allan nodded and replied, Youll see.
Breaking Sea Stone, one of the toughest materials in the world, was almost impossible. But Allan had a trick up his sleeve.
He harnessed the power of space and used its regularity to divide the stone door into two.
The indestructible Sea Tower stone crumbled before the power of space, as fragile as a piece of paper.
The pirates erupted in joy, their cheers filling the air.
Alright, lets go cause some chaos on the third floor, Allan commanded, and hundreds of pirates swarmed into the third floor from the second, like a school of fish.
Impel Down had six floors in total. The second floor was known as the Beast Hell, while the third was dubbed the Starvation Hell.N0v3l--B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
The bounties of the pirates imprisoned here averaged over 30 million, with some exceeding 50 million for their heinous crimes.
The heat emanating from the Inferno Hell on the fourth floor made the third floor scorching hot. Coupled with the guards cruel treatment of withholding food and water, the pirates on the third floor were left starving and near death, their plight even more pitiful than those in the Beast Hell on the second floor.
Under Allans leadership, the hundreds of pirates who invaded the third floor from the second began wreaking havoc.
They used keys crafted by Mr. 3s fruit ability to release their comrades, or they fought and stole keys from the guards.
In short, they left no stone unturned in their efforts to free all the pirates locked up on the third floor.
As the alarm blared throughout Impel Down, signaling the disturbance on the third floor, a horde of marines was dispatched to quell the anarchy unleashed by the pirates.
On the other side, Allan ventured into the third level, Starvation Hell, opting to go solo instead of joining the pirates. As he arrived, he couldnt help but feel the heat emanating below the floor.
Man, its hot as hell in here, he muttered to himself.
The fourth level beneath the third was the Blazing Hell, causing the third level to be bathed in the scorching heat. Sweating profusely just from standing still, Allan knew he had to act fast.
Ive got to release the pirates on this level and get out of here as soon as possible, he thought to himself, determination set in his eyes.
And so, he set out on his mission, leaving the task of releasing the third levels pirates to those on the second level. His goal was to fend off the soldiers that had come to suppress the rebellion.
It wasnt long before Allan encountered a group of soldiers numbering in the twenties. Seeing that he wasnt wearing prisoners attire, they didnt attack immediately.
Hold it right there, who are you? one of them called out.
But Allan had no time for idle chitchat. With a flourish of his sword, he sent a wave of golden energy slicing through the group, sending them flying without causing any harm.
Having taken care of the nuisance, Allan continued on his way.
As he moved forward, Allans next destination was the fourth level. In order to reach it, he would need to find the gateway leading to that floor. As he stood outside a prison cell, Allan stumbled upon Mr. 3.
Hey there, Mr. 3. What are you up to? Allan inquired.
Mr. 3 responded, Boss, Im looking for Mr. 2. He seems to have gotten locked up on this level.
At the mention of Mr. 2, Allans mind conjured up the image of a man who looked like a ballet dancer. Chuckling, Allan said, Well, in that case, Ill join you in your search for him.
Their search didnt take long, and soon enough, Allan and Mr. 3 discovered Mr. 2 locked up in a prison cell.
Mr. 2, whose real name is Bentham or Bon Clay, is a high-ranking member of the Baroque Works organization and a colleague of Mr. 3.
He is also a Devil Fruit user, possessing the ability to transform into anyone he touches. In addition to his Devil Fruit powers, Bon Clay is well-versed in martial arts, particularly the Okama Kenpo technique.
