Chapter 536: Level Five, the Freezing Hell

BonClay!Hannyabal: Say whaaaaaaat?!! // I mean... What foolishness is this~~~~?!!
[Box: Impel Down, Medical Room]
Doctor: There has never been a known case of a person standing up to Magellan... / ...being afflicted with his multiple poisons, and subsequently surviving. // A single poison is one thing, / but creating an antidote that can counter a number of his poisons at once is frankly impossible...!!!
BonClay!Hannyabal: And you still call yourselves the medical team?! / Stop jo~~~kin' around~~~!!!
Doctors: Eh?!
BonClay!Hannyabal: Ah, I mean... / Don't play the fool with me!!! Come up with something!!! / We are under orders to hand Straw Hat Luffy over to the Marines, ALIVE!!
Doctors: ...The fact is, rash attempts to treat him would likely only serve to hasten his death. / I'm afraid there is simply no way to save his life at this point......
BonClay!Hannyabal: ...............!!!

3
BonClay: Nghhhhhh......!!!
Buggy: You see...?!! There's no saving Straw Hat now!!
Mr3: Fighting Magellan and living to tell the tale... miracles like that just don't happen.
BonClay: ......"Miracles"...
Buggy: Hm??
BonClay: .........Of course! Right here in Impel Down... that person is being held captive......!!! / The "Miracle Worker", Okama Queen Iva-san...!!! // .........Cases that doctors had abandoned as hopeless...!! / Countries on the verge of death...!! The one said to be able to save anything and everything... // The origin of the "Salvation Legends"... / The "Ultimate Star" of the Okama world, Iva-san!! // It's the only chance we have left!!!
Buggy/Mr3: Who?!

[Box: Level Four, Staff-Only Staircase]
Gaolers: To Level Five?
BonClay!Hannyabal: Yes, that's right. I mean to condemn these criminals to the freezing penalty!!
Gaolers: .........
BonClay!Hannyabal: (...There's nothing for it but to try!! Hang in there, Straw-chan!!! // ...but what really bothers me is this Level Five prisoner list... / ......What exactly could it mean...?)
Gaoler: Keep moving!!
BonClay!Hannyabal: ("Emporio Ivankov"... History's greatest Okama Queen... // ...Iva-san's name is crossed out!! Could Iva-san have been released already...? Or... executed...?!)

5
BonClay!Hannyabal: ...About this mark here... Has this prisoner has been released?
Gaoler: ...Ah... Ivankov...... Do you not remember, Vice-Chief? / It was a few years ago now... this prisoner fell victim to that.
BonClay!Hannyabal: Ahh...!! Of course... that!! I remember now!! / I'm sure we all know what that is, don't we?! You there - let's hear it!
Gaoler: ......But... We're in front of the prisoners...
BonClay!Hannyabal: No matter - spit it out!!
Gaoler: ............It refers to the mysterious disappearances that occasionally occur within Impel Down. / Incidents that are clearly not cases of escape... prisoners who have shown no sign of any movement suddenly disappearing, suddenly, without a trace. / The "demonings away".
[TN: "Oni no Sodehiki" - literally, "demon sleeve-pulling" ~~ No relation to "Onikakushi", Higurashi fans =p]
Gaoler: These incidents of people who would never be expected to disappear suddenly doing so... / ...are the cause of much fear... people say that they have been lured into the Gates of Hell itself... / ...and thus the phenomenon has come to be known as "demoning away".
Mr3: People... disappearing......?

6
Buggy: (So cold...!!! ......And the door's not even open yet...!!)
Mr3: (Even with all this clothing.........!!!)
Gaoler: Here we are. Be careful of the extreme temperatures and the Wolf Unit, now! / ...Well, then, I'll be taking your things, as usual.
BonClay!Hannyabal: Hm? What??
Gaoler: Your weapons and coat, of course!! I always think this, but you truly are an incredible person!! The way you always make a point of "showing the prisoners just how tough the Vice-Chief really is"... / ...by entering the Freezing Hell wearing next to nothing... and with no weapons, as well...! If I may say, sir, all of the other staff are in awe of you!!
BonClay!Hannyabal: ............!!
Gaoler: Oh, and of course, it would be laughable to allow the prisoners to wear coats, so...
Buggy/Mr3: !!!
Gaoler: ...Well, then, take care!!! // Don't forget, the Den-Den Mushi don't work down here because of the extreme cold, so do be careful!!
BonClay/Buggy/Mr3: ...............!!!

7
Everyone: G... / Guaaaahhhhhhhhhh!! // Aaghhhh... So... cooooolllldddd......!! / It burns!! The chill... it burns!! // Hm?
Wolf: Grrrrrrrr...!!!
Buggy: One... two... three... four of 'em...! You... don't think those could be the Wolf Unit, do you? I mean... you've heard why none of those beasts are stations up on the Beast Floor, right?
BonClay!Hannyabal: No... why?
Mr3: Oh - I can answer that one! / It's because when they tried posting them on Level Two, they went around eating the Basilisk and the Sphinx and all the other beasts!!! They're absolutely brutal!
BonClay!Hannyabal: !! // Well, then, let us do battle with stout hearts!! We're getting Straw-chan out of here no matter what!!! // Whaaaaa?! You're running?! Already.........?!!!
Buggy: I'm not getting eaten by those monsters, dumbass!
Mr3: You go fight them on your own!!!
Wold: Grrrrrr...

[Box: Freezing Floor, inside the Central Tower cells]
Luffy: Nggahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! // *pant* / *cough*!! // *pant* // *pant*... *pant*... *pant*......!!
Prisoners: ............ // ............Man, this guy's a hopeless case if I ever saw one. / What, are they trying to put us in charge of identifying the time of death or somethin'?!
Luffy: Unghhhh.........!!!

9
Luffy: It hurts.........!!! / *pant* // *pant* // Ughhhhhhhh......!!!
Flashback!Nyon: You would be as an ant leaping into a raging storm... / You may well simply be flung around, unable to do a thing, until you meet your own end...
Luffy: *pant*......... *pant* // .................. // Ngahh!!!
Prisoners: It's no good... just give it up!! There's no way you're going to survive after taking all that poison. / Looks like your eyes are a lost cause... can you hear me, at least?
Luffy: *pant* // *pant*
Prisoners: You should just lie there and accept your inevitable death...
Luffy: *pant*... *pant*... // .........NO!!! // I WON'T DIE!!!

10
Luffy: I'm not... gonna die!!! / Not until I save Ace...!!
Prisoners: What, you want to save someone...? You're beyond saving yourself, you know... / What, you got some friend back in another cell or something...? Forget that crap... / When you're in this place, you're best off just thinking about your own hide...!!! // There ain't no help coming... it's every man for himself...!!! // In a sea of flames, you climb on the heads of the people around you to survive... / When you run into a monster, you throw the guy next to you to it as bait while you get the hell out of there...
Luffy: *pant*
Prisoners: Start worrying about others, and you're as good as dead!
Luffy: *pant*
Prisoners: So don't you go spouting that crap about wanting to save people!!! / You make me sick... // Hahah.........!!!
Luffy: ...*cough* ...*pant* ...*pant*
Prisoners: Hey, check it out... there's someone outside. // That's no gaoler... doesn't look like staff, either... // ......... // Half-naked...?!

11
BonClay: STRAW-CHAN!!!! ...............!!! // I'M HERE TO SAVE YOU!!!! ......!! / *pant* // *pant* / IN...!! IN THE NAME OF...!!! FRIENDSHIP...!!!!
Prisoners: ?! // The hell is this guy...? He's soaked in blood...!
BonClay: .........I'M SO SORRY...
Luffy: *pant* // *pant*
BonClay: ...FOR RUNNING AWAY BACK THERE!!!

12
Prisoners: ...............!!! // Who the hell... are you?
BonClay: A PAL!!!! // Straw-chan......!! // I'm not going to let you die!!!
Prisoners: ............!! // He...... left the keys behind...... // Running away, huh......? Never thought about doing that before...

13
Prisoners: Iva-san~~~?! / Like I know where that okama freak went off to! / Who the hell are you, anyway?
BonClay: !!!
Prisoners: Emporio Ivankov.........!! / Sure, that "guy" was in here, ages back... // Dead, I'd reckon. // Huh?! What're you doing, searching for someone who's not even here?
BonClay: ............
Prisoners: More to the point... how did you get out of your cage? / Get me out of here too, yeah?!!
BonClay: I'm searching for a prisoner called Iva-san!! / Hello?!!
Prisoners: You see that forest, way over there? / There's a Gaolers' Office over there that's not being used any more. / I've seen a strange man appearing from over there from time to time.
BonClay: Really......?!
Prisoners: I'd say it's worth a look...!!! // That forest... you dirty bastard!! That's the wolves' den! // Oh? ...Is it really? ...Heheheh...

14
BonClay: (The "Gates of Hell"?! As though I could let Iva-san just disappear because of some ridiculous reason like that!!! // Sure, we've never actually met, but Iva-san has caused any number of miracles in the past... I have faith that this time will be no different!!! // O, Iva-san... // ...God of the Okama world!!! // .........I pray to you now... save Straw-chan's life somehow!!!)
Luffy: Ughhh... / Nghh!!!
BonClay: (If there is truly no antidote to this poison... // ...then you are the only one who can save him!! // Right now...!! // There is nothing for me to do but keep believing in that chance!!!)
