Chapter 434: Impel Down
Impel Down, the biggest and most secure prison in the world. Along with Marineford and Enies Lobby, these 3 places are known as the main islands for Marines. These 3 are the pillar locations to uphold Justice in this world.
No one has ever escaped Impel Down, or so it says, but there are actually some who did it in the past. One of them and the most recent is Shiki who escaped 20 years ago after cutting his feet. The others are in the distance past that no one remembers now.
Even with that, Impel Down is still without a doubt the most secure prison in the world. Escaping is almost impossible and Buggy knows that very well. Yet he still wanted to come here and now his wish has been granted as he finally sets foot on the infamous Impel Down even though he uses another identity as Kuroko.
Buggy gets off the ship and is escorted to enter Impel Down. Everything he has gets confiscated including his seastone bracelet that makes the Guards confused. They don't think deeply about it and just do their job until Buggy is clear and wears the prisoner's clothes.
All his hands and feet are cuffed with seastone cuffs so that he won't be able to escape. The cuffs are linked by chains, so he can't move freely while being escorted to his prison cell. As someone with a bounty of 600 million, Kuroko Buggy is dangerous enough to be detained in the 6th level where notorious criminals are placed.
When he arrives, all prisoners' eyes are focused on him. They judge him from hair to toe as if looking at a new prey. It's not just the prisoners who look at him that way, an officer also looks at him like that, it's none other than the Head Jailer Shiryu who likes to kill prisoners.
Kuroko Buggy just smirks when feeling their bloodlust. "What a warm welcome, too warm instead. I thought I would see violence as soon as I stepped inside, but I just see a bunch of demoralized pathetic losers."
What he said riles up the prisoners who immediately shout angrily at him. He just smirks while keep walking as the jailers try to silence the prisoners. Kuroko Buggy walks proudly toward his cell that's located quite deep.
He is placed in a small isolated cell surrounded by big cells filled with many people. The prisoners in those big cells are happy seeing him there because now they can disturb him anytime after angering them. It is a safe cell because he will be alone, but the location is really bad.
"A private cell. You guys really care about me, huh?"
"This is a direct order from the Fleet Admiral. We need to keep you alive until the current problem gets solved. So behave yourself and stay quiet in your cell." N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
Shiryu locks the door after locking the chains that connect Buggy's cuffs to the ground. The jailers then leave the 6th level after making sure Kuroko Buggy is secured in his cell. Their leave is the signal for the angry prisoners to attack Buggy.
Well, they are separated by prison bars, so they can't attack freely. They are mocking him and throwing pebbles at him through the gaps between bars. Kuroko Buggy just grins and stays in his spot without moving even a bit.
The pebbles hit him, but none of them really injure him because he covers his body with an invisible advanced haki. Buggy has succeeded to activate advanced haki around his body without showing his blackened Armament Haki. It takes years to achieve this, but now he can make invisible armor around his body.
These guys are strong, but they surely can't break through his advanced armament haki with mere pebbles even if they coat the pebbles with their armament haki. The pebbles simply break or just bounce off Buggy's invisible armor.
It will be another case if they coat the pebbles with advanced haki, but none of these idiots can use it. Besides, most of these guys are devil fruit users, so the seastone cuffs have weakened them. The non-devil fruit users are also restrained by getting chained, so they can't move freely.
"Of course, Alice-chan. Didn't he promise you that he will return? Then you just need to wait here with us. Ray-san will take you on a tour of Sabaody while waiting if you want."
Alice nods while wiping her tears and she also says she will punch & kick Buggy when he returns. Shakky & Rayleigh can see that she is really upset because Buggy didn't tell her anything. They can only laugh while imagining the scene of Buggy being beaten up by a little girl.
There's someone else who gets upset too after receiving the news. He has told Bellemere of his plan to play around as Kuroko, so now Bellemere knows that he is being imprisoned in Impel Down as Kuroko. Although she knows he goes there purposely, she can't help but get upset that he didn't tell her about this worrying plan.
Meanwhile, his crewmates are laughing at the news without showing a single bit of worry except for Bon-chan who acts as Buggy right now. He knew acting as Buggy would be hard, but not this hard. His stress has accumulated so much that his only wish right now is just for this to end as soon as possible.
So Buggy's detainment is bad news for him because that means he needs to do this even longer. Just being an Emperor is already very hard for him because attacks keep coming to him. Even though Cricket & co take care of everything and he will be safe, being a target of dangerous people is still very stressful.
"Sigh, why are you doing this to me, Bu-chan."
Bu-chan knows the ones who know him will have those kinds of reactions. But he doesn't really care about it for now and only thinks of what he needs to do after this. He keeps exercising while brewing the best plan to fulfill his goal here.
Then a few days later, someone that he has been waiting for finally comes. He grins widely as he sees Hancock arrives at the 6th level to see Ace. That means Luffy is here already and chaos will fall on Impel Down. This is the time to execute the plan he has brewed for a few days.
