Chapter 61 - Level 5.5

The five of them ran very fast and stole the clothes of the guard.

Haru made a zipper on the wall and entered an empty room.

The four of them were quite amazed by his power.

"Your power is very convenient," Mr. 2 praised.

Haru smiled, "Thank you."

Buggy and Mr. 3 felt safe right now since both of them had entered this room.

"Alright, can you tell us about our plan now?" Buggy asked.

Haru nodded, "Of course, you should know that it's impossible to get out since we're in the calm belt right now." He told them that they needed a ship to get out of this place.

"Ship...." The four of them had eaten devil fruit and they couldn't swim in the sea.

"We need to create chaos inside this prison," Haru said. He told them about his plan and told both Mr. 3 and Buggy to open every cell in the first, second, and third level.

"What about Ace?" Luffy asked.

"He should be in the level 6 right now," Haru also told them that they would bring Ace to the Marineford for his execution.

"WHAT!!!" Luffy and Mr. 2 were shocked.

Mr. 3 and Buggy didn't show anything since both of them didn't really care about Ace. Both of them were also quite happy since their missions were pretty easy.

"We need to save him!!" Luffy said.

"I know that but this is a famous prison that almost no one is able to escape, there are also a lot of famous people who can't escape from this place, except that Shiki The Golden Lion," Haru said and explained how that person could get out of this place.

Luffy, Mr. 2, and Mr. 3 had never thought there was a devil fruit that could fly.

"It's possible for that person," Buggy nodded in agreement since he also had experience fighting with that guy during his internship on the ship of Gol D. Roger.

"We need to go to the 5.5 level and ask someone for help there," Haru explained.

"Level 5.5??" They had never heard of this place.

Haru looked at Mr. 2 and said, "We'll be able to meet your idol soon."

"My idol?" Mr. 2 titled his head curiously.

"We also need the help of someone from level 6," Haru said.

They talked for a while until they were ready for their escape plan.

Haru made a zipper on the wall and made both Mr. 3 and Buggy go to the third floor.

"Alright, let's go to the fifth floor," Haru said to both Mr. 2 and Luffy.

Luffy and Mr. 2 nodded at the same time.

---

Magellan was moving around the fourth level but he couldn't find them, "AAAAAHHH!!! WHERE ARE THEY!!!"

---

Hannibal was waiting in the entrance of the third floor, "I'll be able to become the warden soon." He chuckled and entered his daydreaming.

---

Sadi was waiting at the entrance of the fifth floor. She used a lot of clothes to warm herself up, "I'll catch him!!!"

---

Mr. 3 and Buggy looked around and sighed in relief when they couldn't find the guard.

Mr. 3 looked at Buggy and asked, "Do you know anything about him?"

Buggy shook his head, "I don't know, but he is pretty young." He looked at him and asked, "What do you think about him?"

"Well, he is pretty much warm, very strong and really smart," Mr. 3 said.

Buggy nodded, "Yeah, I wonder why he can enter this place."

"That's true, why he can enter this place, I don't think that he is a pirate or criminal," Mr. 3 said.

"Whatever, let's put this place into chaos," Buggy didn't want to think too much.

Mr. 3 nodded, "Good." He started to create a key with the power of his devil fruit.

---

"Sticky Fingers!"

Three people entered the fifth level of the Impel Down without noticing the guard.

"It's cold....." Luffy entered the Freezing Hell.

"Y - yeah, this place is really cold," Mr. 2 said.

Haru felt the same since he was really cold right now. He could be resistant to hot temperatures but the cold was a different matter. He looked at them and said, "Let's go to level 5.5, we can go to level 6 later."

Mr. 2 nodded and clenched his hand, "I'll save Ivankov."

Haru nodded and looked at Luffy, "Do you believe me?"

Luffy nodded, "I believe you, my head is stupid, but I know that you want to help me."

Haru felt strange maybe this was really the protagonist aura. He shook his head, "Alright, we should move as soon as possible."

Luffy and Mr. 2 nodded at the same time.

Freezing Hell is the fifth level of the Impel Down in which prisoners are kept. This is the level where criminals with bounties of Beli100,000,000 and over are kept. In stark contrast to the level above it, the entire level here is a giant freezer. The level is so cold that not only do the prisoners kept here either freeze to death or lose pieces of their flesh from severe frostbite, but the food given to them is frozen to the level of being virtually inedible.

Due to the extreme cold, Den Den Mushi does not function at this level, thus cutting off both contact and surveillance, except at the locations localized around the entrances that connect Level 5 to the previous and next levels. Along with the severe cold, the level is inhabited by wolves. These wolves roam around the level like the beasts of Level 2, where they were originally stationed at. However, they proved to be too brutal to be in Level 2 as they also hunted the other beasts as well, including the Basilisk and the Sphinx.

Haru, Luffy, and Mr. 2 walked toward the deep forest of level 5 and fought against a lot of wolves.

"Rubber Rubber Jet Pistol!"

"Bombing Swan Arabesque!"

"Zipper Slaughter!"

Haru wasn't sure where was the level 5.5 since he only saw the anime.

Three of them were tired and it was very cold too.

"Brrrr...."

Three of them worked together until they saw someone strange get up and holding a glass of wine hiding behind a tree.

Haru noticed him, "Hey, did you see that person?" He thought that he had delusions right now.

Mr. 2 and Luffy, who were tired, also saw that person.

"Who is that?" Mr. 2 asked.

Haru walked toward him, "Who are you?" He saw the man didn't say anything but kept looking at them for a long time.

"Hey, we can't waste our time here!" Luffy said.

"That's right, we need to meet Emporio Ivankov as soon as possible," Mr. 2 said.

"Emporio Ivankov?" The man muttered and said, "Follow me."

The three of them looked at each other and nodded. They followed for a while and saw a tunnel hiding in this place. They saw a quite large door in front of them.

The man opened the door and gestured for them to enter.

Three of them saw a party inside this place.

"Kyahahahaha!!!"

"YeeHaw!!!"

"Is this level 5.5?" Haru asked.

The man nodded, "Welcome to the level 5.5."

They had arrived at level 5.5 the only paradise place inside this prison.
