Chapter 375: The Rebellion at Impel Down's Second Floor

Nestled in the peaceful waters of the first half of the Grand Line lies Impel Down, a prison surrounded by a plethora of Sea Kings. The structure is a towering, behemoth of a building, situated on the ocean floor. Imprisoned within its walls are wanted criminals of all sorts, from small-time pirates to those worth billions of berries.

Impel Down is renowned for its impregnable walls, with six floors of cells and torture chambers. The guards, in addition to the Navy soldiers, are comprised of members of the beast race, tasked with maintaining the security of the prison. These non-human guards possess greater strength than the Navy soldiers and make up a specialized unit within Impel Down. They are not often mobilized.

Each cell in Impel Down is constructed from sea stone, designed to prevent prisoners with devil fruit abilities from escaping. The facility is also equipped with an abundance of monitoring Den Den Mushi, used to keep watch on the prisoners’ movements. In the event of an escape attempt or disturbance, the worms will immediately alert the guards, who will take action to quell the rebellion.

On this particular occasion, a group of prisoners, led by Allan and locked up in the same cell as Mr. 3, successfully revolted and fled toward the upper floors.

Armed with the wax key crafted by Mr. 3, Allan and the other pirates broke out of their cells and freed the prisoners in the neighboring ones.

The disturbance was not immediately noticed by the Navy soldiers tasked with guarding the second floor, as such an event had not occurred in Impel Down in recent memory, causing the guards to become complacent.

The first to detect the commotion were the Den Den Mushi assigned to monitor the prisoners’ activities. Placed on the outside of each cell, they alerted the guards as soon as the prisoners made their move.

As Allan and more than a dozen pirates fled from their cell, they were immediately spotted by the monitoring worms. The alarm was raised on the second floor and a group of prison guards was dispatched to deal with the situation.

However, the guards underestimated the strength of the pirates, especially Allan, who stood out as the only one not wearing a prisoner’s uniform. In reality, he was not a prisoner at all, but had been locked up with the pirates and was therefore targeted by the guards.

A single man, Allan, quickly took down the group of prison guards sent to quell the disturbance. By the time the Navy realized the severity of the situation, several more cells of prisoners had been released by Mr. 3.

As the management of Impel Down discovered the elimination of the first group of guards and the escape of more prisoners, they finally understood the gravity of the situation.

In response, a large number of Navy prison guards were dispatched to suppress the breakout.

The guards pulled the triggers of their guns, attempting to use their bullets to capture the fleeing prisoners. This was a warning to the pirates.

But it was clear that this method would not work. The gunfire not only failed to intimidate the rioting pirates but also ignited their rebellious spirit.

In a short amount of time, the entire second floor of Impel Down was thrown into chaos. On this floor alone, there were over three or four hundred pirates.

These pirates, who had reclaimed their freedom as prisoners, became active and transformed from oppressed lower-floor prisoners into vicious pirates.

No longer wanting to return to the desolate cells, they decided to make a break for it.

As a result, more and more pirates gathered together, preparing to escape Impel Down.

The prison guards of Impel Down had no mercy as they suppressed the rioting pirates.

Escaping from the second floor was no easy feat for the pirates, as the two channels leading to the first floor were heavily guarded.

The unarmed pirates had no chance of breaking out.

The Navy, responsible for maintaining order in Impel Down, had a well-rehearsed strategy for dealing with such uprisings.

They stationed a large number of soldiers at the two channels between the second and first floors, blocking the pirates’ access to the higher levels.

Then, they began a step-by-step process of suppression, arresting the pirates and returning them to their cells.

If the pirates couldn’t be contained on the second floor, they would be forced to retreat to the third floor or lower levels of the prison.

In short, as long as the pirates remained within Impel Down, it was only a matter of time before they were suppressed by the Navy, no matter which floor they were on.

Each floor of the prison had a person in charge.

At that moment, a guard captain led a large number of soldiers to the second floor of the Beast Hell prison, where the rioting pirates were causing chaos.

“Capture them all, leave no one behind!”

The soldiers aimed their guns at the fleeing pirates and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang!

Gunfire echoed through the second floor of Impel Down as the prison guards relentlessly suppressed the rioting pirates.

A warden approached The Guard Captain and reported anxiously, “Sir, these pirates are too fierce. Should we request support from the prison guards on other floors?”

The Guard Captain, confident in his abilities and those of his soldiers, replied coolly, “No need. This is just a small uprising. Our soldiers on the second floor are more than capable of handling it. Trust me, just follow my orders and these pirates will soon surrender. They don’t have weapons, they won’t be able to withstand our assault for long.”

In reality, the riot on the second floor was a minor event for The Guard Captain, the warden of Impel Down. He believed that mobilizing all the soldiers on the second floor was more than enough to suppress it, and there was no need to request support from the soldiers on other floors.

Therefore, The Guard Captain did not inform the other floors wardens of the situation on the second floor.

Subsequently, The Guard Captain led a large number of soldiers to the entrance between the first and second floors, and successfully drove back the pirates attempting to escape to the first floor.

To completely cut off the possibility of the pirates escaping, The Guard Captain directly closed the channel connecting the first floor.

A massive wall made of sea stone descended from the gate, completely blocking the entrance between the first and second floors.

At the same time, The Guard Captain sent another hundred prison guards to guard the entrance between the second and third floors, preventing the pirates from causing a new riot by escaping to the third floor.

In this way, the pirates trapped on the second floor were cut off from all escape routes, like birds in a cage, and their suppression was only a matter of time.
