Chapter 527's Events:
—————————
"Level 2!? No, no, I want to go to Level 5!!" Luffy, carrying the detached feets of Buggy's main body, expressed his refusal.
Buggy, who was floating in the sky, turned around and shouted, "I'm telling you, Strawhat, you can't go straight there!!"
"Listen, The Impel Down prison is set up like this… This is the first floor underground, so it's called Level 1…"
"... Level 2… Level 3… The criminals get more and more powerful as you go farther down…!!"
In the background, the design of Impel Down prison appeared as described by Buggy. Except for the building above the surface in the center of the outer city, the main building consists of 5 levels below sea level, plus an additional level that is the last, indicated by a '?'.
"I've been sent to Level 4 for the burning torture. I don't even know what the next level down would be like!!!"
Buggy continued speaking; "I'm pretty sure they keep the guys with bounties over 100 Million on Level 5, the lowest floor. But some prisoners say there's another floor below that!! The monsters sleeping there are so evil that they've been completely erased from history… it's just a rumor, but Ace might be there. Anyway!! I can lead you as far as Level 4!"
"I see! You got nice all of a sudden," Luffy said with a smile.
"Kyahahahaha, that's because you're going to give me that treasure mark that shows you the way to Captain John's treasure… Ha!!!" Buggy closed his mouth hastily when he realized he spilled all the beans at once.
•———•———•———•———•———•
"As expected..."
In the vast grassy field overlooking the sea, Roger's Pirates stared at Buggy with wicked smiles on their faces.
Buggy's forehead twitched as he instinctively retreated.
"That fool... He said everything in the next moment!"
"It's really the treasure mark pointing to Captain John's treasure!"
"Hahaha! Look at the repulsive expression on his face, he didn't even realize he said something he shouldn't have! Hahaha! Buggy is truly the best..."
"Heh~ Is this what you said you were using only as a cover to help save Ace? Isn't your main goal to get the treasure mark in the first place?"
"Hahaha! Just admit it, Buggy. We already know your true nature deep down."
"Shut up! And what if I reap some benefits? Luffy doesn't care about treasures... Nami is the one who cares, as long as Luffy doesn't tell Nami, everything will be fine!" shouted Buggy.
Gaban, Shanks, Nozdon, Jacksonbanner, and even the Fish-Man Sunbell looked at Buggy with astonished expressions.
"If Nami finds out that she let the biggest treasure slip through her fingers in a stupid way, I don't know what her reaction will be..."
"Oh god, Buggy is playing with fire..."
"If Nami finds out, it will definitely be a disaster..."
"Wait a moment... Hahahahaha!!!"
Suddenly, Roger's Pirates burst into infectious laughter as they continued to the next page of the chapter.
All of them, without exception, laughed at Buggy with tears when Luffy handed the treasure mark to Buggy, despite knowing that it could lead to a huge treasure... all because he wanted to save Ace.
At first, Buggy seemed to be affected by Luffy's trust, even crying and saying, 'You can't trust me that much… It's not fair to me…!!! I'm not exactly a good guy, you know…!!! You shouldn't be trusting a guy like me…'
Nevertheless, he grabbed the treasure mark and took it, saying, 'My heart's desire, the treasure map, Captain John's mark!! And… Just giving it to me…!! I'm so grateful…!! Strawhat!!'
Immediately after, his expression changed from heroic to mocking: 'Now, how do I get away from this guy…? Gyahahaha!!'
After revealing his true colors, he collided with the wall, and to help, Luffy deepened his pain by hitting him on the wall, thinking it was the fastest way to escape.
This scene literally made Roger's pirates cry from laughter, to the point that some were clutching their stomachs... one of them was Shanks.
…
Not far from the fellas, Roger and Rouge were also laughing.
"Buggy doesn't know that there's no way to deceive a troublemaker like Luffy, Wahahaha!"
"Now that they've been discovered, he has no choice but to chase after him."
"Well, what a despicable villain... as soon as he gets what he wants, he wants to escape immediately... Luckily, this happened before he could escape."
"Well, he doesn't know Ace's true identity, my dear..."
"Nevertheless... where did he learn to be so deceitful? I don't see a single pirate with a malicious spirit in your crew."
"Maybe it's just a mask..."
"I don't think so... He's a natural-born evil clown!"
Roger and Rouge did not know that what Buggy would do from this moment onwards would completely change their opinions about him... not only them but the entire world.
…
Marineford:
"As expected... the prison's design has been revealed... even the secret 'sixth' floor has been indicated!" Sengoku slapped his desk hard, causing it to crack.
Since the appearance of the One Piece manga, the Fleet Admiral's desk has been changed countless times, with dozens of them being broken! And the reason is none other than Sengoku, who breaks them due to his emotions and anger.
Why wouldn't he get angry? The prison design has been publicly revealed, and how the most powerful criminals are imprisoned in the higher levels... even the level designed to be completely secret was simply exposed.
"What does that question mark mean? Just write the sixth level from the beginning!"
Even Admiral Akainu lost his temper... One Piece still treats their military secrets as a joke, each time revealing some of them so that nothing is left to be revealed!
"That bastard Buggy deserves what happened to him! I want to see him torn apart to calm down! His presence is truly provocative, what a son of a bitch!"
"How the heck was Buggy on Roger's ship...? Or rather, why is he now on the Pirate King's ship? What's special about him other than his red nose?"
There's no doubt that the revelation of Impel Down's design by Buggy made the Marines and the World Government extremely angry.
…
Ohara:
"Very superficial design, I'm looking forward to seeing what distinguishes each level and how prisoners are tortured... what makes this prison called hell..."
"And the most important question, on which level will they put me when Luffy defeats me, Fufufu~"
Even before the Dressrosa arc was presented, Doflamingo already anticipated his defeat by Luffy and his imprisonment in Impel Down.
Hearing that made Enel shake his forehead.
"Even if you lose, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be imprisoned... aren't you a celestial dragon... even if a fallen one?"
"Fufufu~ Fallen celestial dragons are no different than trash in the eyes of the World Government... If I fall against Luffy, my fate won't necessarily be just imprisonment... that's because I know a lot of secrets they don't want to be revealed."
"Well, judging by the situation now, it seems that it will be revealed by me in the manga, just as the design of Impel Down was revealed by Buggy."
"Hehehe~ I look forward to that day."
