Chapter 392: Sixth Level
The sixth level of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell, is where the worst of the worst are held. These are the inmates whose heinous crimes or wicked identities have earned them a lifetime of imprisonment in this desolate place, where they will never again see the light of day.
Unlike the man-eating beasts and scorching heat of previous levels, the prisoners here are spared hunger and cold, but at the cost of utter boredom. They are confined to dark, icy cells, where they will remain until they die, with only the prison guards who deliver their meals providing any human contact.
For these once fearsome pirates, who once ruled the seas with an iron fist, this monotonous existence of waiting for death is a truly unbearable fate.
When Allan, accompanied by Mr. 1, Mr. 2, and Mr. 3, arrives at the sixth level from the fifth, their presence is quickly detected by the guards in the surveillance room.
“Intruders detected on the sixth level! Report to Warden Magellan!” the guards immediately spring into action.
The cells on this level are enormous, each containing varying numbers of prisoners. Some hold only one inmate, while others contain several.
As Allan and his companions explore the level, they soon find themselves trapped at the staircase, which has been sealed shut by massive iron bars.
“Oh no, the staircase is closed! We’re stuck here,” Mr. 3 exclaims.
“That gate must be made of Seastone,” Mr. 2 theorizes.
