Third Person POV
Impeldown , First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Luffy entered the second floor of Impel Down while the sounds of beasts echoed through the air, with his group following close behind.
"Woolf Woolf!" Chouchou barked beside Luffy.
"Do you want to catch it?" Luffy asked the animal with interest, as it nodded. "Then go ahead." Luffy ordered.
"Woolf!" He barked as he ran ahead down the corridors.
"Will he be okay?" Reiju asked, still hearing the animal's footsteps in the distance.
"Of course he will, he's the alpha beast right now." Luffy said with a slight smile.
Meanwhile, the prisoners, even more dangerous than those on the first level, were wondering what all the explosions from earlier were about, not knowing exactly what was happening. This could be attributed to the beasts guarding that floor—giant birds, lions, spiders, even basilisks, and manticores were guarding the cells of those prisoners.
"What could be happening... The animals seem agitated..." one prisoner said.
"Maybe a new beast on the floor?" another said. After all, the beasts would compete whenever another one came to this floor, fighting each other to see who would be the alpha.
"You're right, look at that shadow coming from the corridor!" a prisoner pointed to a wall with light coming from one of the corridors, and a huge shadow began to appear there, with a kind of beast with four legs walking calmly through the place.
"I don't recognize that beast! It must be a new monster they brought in, maybe the tremors were caused by it!" a prisoner pointed, trembling.
"Be careful! The beasts will fight each other!" another pointed out, as all the animals in that corridor also looked at the shadow on the wall, which was approaching every moment.
"What kind of monster is that..." another murmured as the beast finally appeared in the corridor.
Chouchou finally appeared curious as he came across a corridor, he looked back and saw that the light from the path he followed made his shadow appear gigantic. He saw several beasts and prisoners looking at him at that moment, as he stared back at them with curiosity.
"What? Just a simple dog?" a prisoner murmured, looking at the animal that sat at the front of the corridor, while the shadow still projected a large monster, tricking them with the light and optical illusion.
"Wait, why is there a dog here... he'll be killed by the beasts..." another prisoner said, watching the beasts growling at Chouchou.
Chouchou didn't seem afraid, he just looked at the creatures about to attack him with curiosity as he sat there. He then stood up and began to walk forward.
"I have to admit, the mutt has courage..." someone murmured from their cell.
"Tsk, let's see the dog die with one bite, I wish I had a dog in my cell to keep me company..." another commented.
Chouchou ignored the conversations and mockery the prisoners were throwing at him and looked seriously at the beasts before growling. His body began to change at that moment, catching all the spectators off guard.
A lion charged and jumped on him at that moment to kill him, not liking having such a small animal on this floor, but Chouchou didn't stop growing. When the lion saw the form of Cerberus with three heads, it couldn't even react as it was bitten by one of the heads, being held suspended in the air, despairing at that moment.
"What is this dog!!" People screamed in their cells, seeing the small dog transforming into a mythical beast, while everyone felt immense fear.
The animals were no different, seeing that the animal they had mocked and called to fight had become a predator, making them stop and emit sounds, looking at Cerberus with fear. But it was too late, the lion didn't even see its death coming as the head that held it emitted fire, turning it into a barbecue the next moment and being spat out by Chouchou as if he had eaten something bad.
"That's the new beast..." the prisoners swallowed hard, watching Cerberus's actions.
"That thing shouldn't be on this floor!" they exclaimed, knowing there were more powerful beasts on other floors.
"HOOOOO!!" Chouchou began growling at the other creatures as they barely had time to move away before he jumped, his paws so large that they covered the roofs of numerous cells, trembling with his advance.
A war erupted as Chouchou began fighting against all those beasts on the floors. The prisoners could only watch the massacre happening as that beast started destroying everything.
"Please save me, I don't want to be eaten by this thing!" the prisoners began to feel fear, believing that after the beasts, Cerberus would come after them. But their screams were not heard with no guards around, or were muffled by the sound of elemental explosions and beasts lamenting and being killed echoing throughout the place.
"He made quite a mess..." Luffy whistled as he walked, reaching the prisoners' corridor.
"He also knows how to scare these prisoners..." Kuina couldn't help but comment as she looked at the cells with people trembling in a corner.
"He's a good dog." Luffy said.
"How is he a good dog when he's massacring all the animals!" Nami shouted at Luffy as the place was infested with fallen dead beasts.
They saw a basilisk screaming and crying while it was in Cerberus's mouth, a creature even larger than the snake.
"Chouchou, we're heading to the third level. Finish this quickly and let's move on." Luffy requested while Chouchou nodded, returning to normal after frying the snake with lightning. They proceeded to the third floor once they found the key.
Meanwhile, in the elevator reaching the first floor, Hannyabal finally opened the elevator with a group of wolves that had followed him from the fifth floor.
Luffy knew about the elevator but chose to walk from floor to floor to kill time, while most of his crew was still unaware of it. This would lead to some protests.
As for Hannyabal, when the door opened, he quickly jumped out with his spear, and the wolves followed him.
"Where are the intruders!?" he shouted, pointing his weapon, with the wolves circling him growling. But what he saw in front of him left him bewildered.
There was nothing but debris scattered all over the place, and what shocked him the most was that he could see the sky above the sea. "What is happening!!!" Hannyabal was shocked.
He continued looking at it for at least 10 seconds while the wolves seemed to be having the same experience.
"Sir Hannyabal!" He finally snapped out of his daze when he heard someone calling his name. He looked to see a group of guards running towards him.
"Lord Hannyabal, the prison is under attack. They've destroyed the entire surface area and are advancing to level 2 or even 3 as we speak!" The guard seemed scared by this.
"What, who are they, and why have they destroyed this place? Why is my Den Den Mushi not working!" Hannyabal shouted, "Where is Director Magellan?!" he demanded.
"Communication has been cut... the marine ships are destroyed or damaged... And the marines are lying unconscious, thanks to the pirates. And they are none other than the Straw Hat Pirates who've been in the news lately!!" They said, startling Hannyabal.
Before he could say anything, they continued speaking. "As for Director Magellan... He is knocked out!" He said while pointing to one side of the entire destruction, where many parts were corroded by Magellan's own ability.
Hannyabal could see a large crowd of guards gathered there. "The Straw Hats!" he said as he ran towards that group with the guards who approached him right behind.
Magellan was lying on the ground in the middle of a small crater with his chest bleeding while some people were trying to stop the hemorrhage, and his face was also destroyed. He was completely unconscious in that state. Hannyabal was shocked as he passed through the crowd with the wolves from the fifth floor following him.
"This is bad!!" Hannyabal looked afraid, seeing Director Magellan in that state, and glanced at the growing crowd of guards, pushing his fear aside.
"Maybe this is my big chance to shine..." he couldn't help but murmur as his dream began to overshadow the fear he felt at that moment. "Yes, this is my chance!" Hannyabal finally seemed to gain some confidence.
He puffed out his chest as he faced all the men in front of him. "Listen up, everyone! Our duty is to protect this prison with all our strength!" He began to try boosting the group's morale while everyone looked at him, confused, as they were in the middle of a crisis and Hannyabal was suddenly bringing this up.
"But they are the Straw Hats... we can't beat them... Even Magellan couldn't defeat them and was taken down like a stray dog..." someone murmured without any confidence.
"Don't be a coward! The world needs us to protect them from these pirates and the prisoners in the cells below us. We need to stop them and defeat them! And more importantly, this prison needs me. I am now taking command and will stop the pirates, leading us to victory! I will finally become the director!!" Hannyabal exclaimed.
"..." The guards looked at each other, unsure of what to say... They doubted if they could really stop the pirates.
"Let's defeat them!" Hannyabal continued shouting alone.
"..." People remained silent while Hannyabal seemed to be dreaming of his promotion to director, and the wolves behind him seemed excited too, with the promise of getting larger pieces of meat in their meals.
"I guess we should fight..." one guard said, although not very enthusiastically.
"Yes... maybe we should fight with all our strength against the enemy..." another murmured.
"We are the guards of the most dangerous and protected prison in the world. All the people in the world are counting on us to keep these prisoners in their cells," a third murmured.
It was a strange situation, while Hannyabal continued shouting and dreaming of being director with his dogs, the guards talked among themselves.
"Let's fight them, even if it costs us our lives!"
"That's right!"
"Let's fight the Straw Hats!"
The guards started shouting at each other, gaining more and more morale. Hannyabal looked at this with pride. 'I can inspire people!' he screamed internally, thinking it was a quality of a director, but he didn't know they were inspired by themselves while discussing, ignoring all his previous speeches.
"Come on, men, let's go down to the prison and stop them!" Hannyabal shouted while everyone nodded now.
"YES!!!" The chorus came from the crowd, and Hannyabal headed for the elevator with the guards and wolves.
Meanwhile, on the first level, Domino woke up at that moment. She saw the still unconscious guards around her. She couldn't help but remember what happened, feeling a vein bulging on her forehead.
She touched her bottom. "He squeezed my butt and got away with it, this won't stand!!" she growled and began waking the guards with her whip, ready to fight Luffy on the lower floors or wherever he was.
"I'll capture him and give him several lashes!" she shouted as she saw the guards yelling as she hit them. Luffy didn't even know he had entered the sights of a vengeful woman.
Buggy also woke up from the ground, blinking and trying to orient himself about what had happened.
"Where is Straw Hat!" he growled, with the memory of being knocked out by him, not knowing his map had been stolen. Otherwise, Buggy would be at his peak of fury.
"..." There was no more sign of Luffy in the corridor, making Buggy wonder where he had gone.
"No matter, I can still get out of here..." he thought, but then looked at the distant cells. "Maybe I can free them!" He had an idea and decided to go after the cell keys, to gain an advantage while trying to escape.

[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV
Marinefort, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
While chaos ensued in Impel Down without the world truly knowing what was happening in one of the most fortified places in the world, hours began to pass since the first attack, and they started to realize something was wrong.
"Our prisoner is being kept in a special cell until the execution tomorrow…" An officer reported Ace's situation.
"I understand…" Sengoku spoke calmly, ready to document all reports before the war. "You may go…" He requested as the man left the room.
But just as the door was about to close, it was opened again with other officers running into the room. "What is it now?" Sengoku asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Fleet Admiral, we searched for the Shichibukai Marshal D. Teach as you requested, but we couldn't find him anywhere!" He spoke quickly with urgency.
"He's not at Marineford?" Sengoku asked, frowning.
"Fleet Admiral… there's a warship missing from our ports!" The man reported.
"What?! Are you saying that Shichibukai fled with one of our ships?!" Sengoku, already furious, now shattered the table beneath him.
"Yes! We don't know how they did it, but it's very likely that the ship we can't locate is in the Shichibukai's possession!" The officer stated.
"What is he doing, deserting hours before the war?" Sengoku couldn't understand the logic behind this on the eve of battle.
"I'll check this with the monitoring room…" Sengoku said, picking up the Den Den Mushi, turning it back on after having it off during the last meeting he had with the admirals and vice-admirals before completing the report with the officers who had just appeared.
He saw there were many missed calls at that moment, and as soon as he turned on the Den Den Mushi, it didn't take long for it to ring.
"Hello…" Sengoku answered.
"Fleet Vice-Admiral! We lost contact with Impel Down!" The urgency in the voice on the other side of the Den Den Mushi was evident.
"What do you mean lost contact, when did this happen?!" Sengoku asked, not liking the situation at all.
"We contacted them half an hour ago to discuss some prisoners we were transferring before the war, but communication seems to be cut off, there's no call at all!" The Den Den Mushi relayed while everyone near Sengoku, listening, frowned.
"What is this... When was the last time you contacted Impel Down?" Sengoku inquired.
"The last time was when the admirals took Ace out of prison…" Reported the sailor.
"At least 6 hours ago… This is bad, I can't pull forces from here with Ace, what's causing this… Could it be Whitebeard attacking the prison…" Sengoku didn't know what to say, but he knew the situation was urgent.
"We'll send a ship with vice-admirals to check the situation!" He ordered, knowing that the prison was a priority, aware of the criminals housed there.
He hung up the Den Den Mushi and called the communication room with the sailors still waiting. "Fleet Vice-Admiral!!" a new urgent voice emerged from the Den Den Mushi.
"Hm?" Sengoku, about to ask about Teach, frowned, sensing more problems arising.
"The Gate of Justice… it has been opened!!" Shouted the man.
"What, who did that, for whom!?" Sengoku shouted back.
"We don't know, our sailors opened it, they seem to have entered some kind of trance! A ship we can't identify did this and is heading towards Impel Down!" They warned.
"What is all this! Send 4 warships to the prison immediately! I need to know what's happening!" Sengoku shouted furiously, his voice echoing through Marineford.
As night fell, a Marine warship was at full speed towards Impel Down. "Ziahahahaha!" Teach was laughing.
"You see, I managed to put all those sailors under my control, it was easy to make them open the gate for us…" Laffitte commented beside him.
"IIIHHHH!! Let's go to the prison!" Burgess celebrated.
"…" Van Augur was silently sitting on the edge of the ship, cleaning his rifle.
"I'm so tired..." Doc Q lay on the deck with his horse, both looking very exhausted.
Meanwhile, in Impel Down, unaware that night had already fallen on the surface, Luffy was staring in the middle of the desert of the prison's third level, where ice was scattered around the area. Yamato had created the ice for the members who didn't like the desert heat, with Chopper hugging an ice pillar and pressing his face against it.
"Luffy, we've been here for a while... How much longer are we staying?" Nami complained, using her powers to blow wind on her face to escape the heat.
"Let's wait for them to finish." Luffy said, looking ahead as a shadow dashed through the air, heading towards its opponent, one of the guards of this level, a boar using a mace and other animals.
The one fighting them was Zoro, who had said he wanted to stop just walking and face something out of boredom. Zoro passed by his opponent before cutting and defeating him.
"Well, he finally beat him, let's go to the next level." Luffy commented as everyone nodded, finally leaving the place where they had to watch some members fighting. They quickly passed by several defeated animals and cells where people were so dehydrated they could barely speak or ask for help.
"They look so tired... I'll help them!" Shirahoshi said with pity and started creating water, spraying it on all the prisoners who were surprised by this as they continued on their way, nearly drowning the prisoners with the water jet the mermaid had released.
They kept descending until they reached the fourth level, and as soon as they opened it, they saw a crowd of guards waiting at the entrance with a scantily clad woman in a pink elastic outfit and a whip in her hand.
"What do we have here... Another little treat in this prison." Luffy commented.
"You only pay attention to women!" Nami complained.
"Of course not, only to beautiful women." Luffy replied.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Nami grimaced, showing shark teeth.
"..." While all the prison soldiers looked at the group, slightly trembling, Sadi eyed Luffy and his group with a piercing gaze, her chest puffed out, not seeming afraid as she lightly swung the whip in her hands. Her lips curled into a malicious smile, and she stepped forward, her gaze fixed on Luffy.
"Oh, it seems we have a bunch of cheeky intruders here," she said, her voice full of provocation. "And you, Straw Hat Captain, think you can pass through here without facing the wrath of Impel Down?"
Luffy raised an eyebrow at this woman, who thought they were mere invaders. Wouldn't this be an offense to his reputation?
But Luffy didn't even need to respond, because the guards looked at the head guard with cautious eyes, wondering if she had hit her head or something. "Miss Sadi... They are the Straw Hats... The captain has a bounty of 1 billion berries..." One of the guards said, frightened.
"One billion! That's right, no pirate with such a bounty has passed by me, after all, they all go straight to the sixth level! Now I have a chance, I'll punish him so much he'll like it!!" She exclaimed, almost having an orgasm right there, thinking about how to make Luffy suffer.
"..." Luffy looked at her as if she were an idiot.
She stopped her show and looked at him with desire as she stretched her whip under everyone's gaze. "Now you will... Hm!!" She didn't finish speaking before a huge claw grabbed her and started throwing her away while keeping her trapped in the claw.
"Nami?" Luffy looked at his wife, who kept her hands glowing green, continuing to throw the woman to the other side of this level while she screamed in the air.
"Stop wasting time with these things, Luffy! Are you here to flirt?" She complained.
"Flirt? It was that crazy woman who started saying all those things." Luffy shrugged and turned his attention to the soldiers in front of him, who were still staring.
The soldiers kept watching the woman fly until they turned back to Luffy, who was looking at them with shining eyes. "We're screwed." They choked, before fainting from another wave of Haki.
"I'm not going to kill them like this, for now... Guys, let's keep moving." Luffy said, continuing forward and passing by the fallen soldiers.
"This level is worse than the last one!" Usopp exclaimed, his tongue sticking out from the heat.
"Yamato... Give me ice!!" Chopper said tiredly to the vice-captain, who looked at him and began creating ice with her hand.
Chouchou walked while opening his mouth and blowing cold air as he cooled off.
The rest of the crew was sweating but stayed strong, walking through the prison while the prisoners were in a pitiful state. Shirahoshi began pouring more water on the prisoners, who screamed their thanks a moment later.
They continued crossing a bridge over a lake of lava when a group of new guards appeared, led by Hannyabal with a spear.
"Hm? Isn't that Hannyabal, the director of Impel Down?" Luffy commented, teasing this comical figure.
Hannyabal was serious, but when he heard that, his eyes sparkled. "You know me!?" He was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course, there has never been a more competent director than Hannyabal in the history of Impel Down!" Luffy said with a smile.
"Is Luffy okay?" Vivi asked, confused, already used to the heat of Alabasta, so this level didn't affect her much.
"He certainly wants something from that strange guy..." Nojiko commented.
"Master, do you need anything?" Baby-5 shouted, wanting to be useful to Luffy.
Meanwhile, Hannyabal seemed so excited, and the soldiers and wolves behind him were confused, as the enemy was praising the vice-director after invading the place.
"I got this map, Director Hannyabal. But it doesn't say anything about the entrance to level 6. Can you tell me how to get to level 5?" Luffy asked.
"Of course, as a good director of this prison, I will tell you. It's on the south side of the floor, with a Seastone door used for emergencies, or you can use the elevator itself... Hm?!" Hannyabal realized at that moment and shut his mouth, while Luffy grinned.
"Thank you, Hannyabal. You've been very helpful, I'll check the entrance." Luffy commented as Hannyabal prepared for battle.
"You tricked me!" He shouted, but the next moment, he fell to the ground along with the soldiers and wolves due to the Haki.
"I'm getting really good with my Haki... Let's go!" Luffy said while the crew looked at him, thinking he was very shameless.
It didn't take long for another group to approach them. It was Domino again, using the elevator a moment later.
"Monkey D. Luffy! You'll pay for what you did!" Domino exclaimed as the soldiers pointed their weapons, despite feeling fear.
"You don't give up, do you..." Luffy commented before once again releasing his Haki.
He continued walking and grabbed Domino, shrinking her and placing her in a small cage.
"Are you kidnapping her?" Kuina asked, raising an eyebrow.
"This place will get dangerous... it's better to keep her in a safe place." Luffy said despite the unsatisfied looks. It wasn't a lie; the prisoners would be released for some reason, and he knew about Blackbeard's arrival. So he really wanted to protect her.
"We're arriving at level 5." Luffy announced as they reached a freezing door.
