Chapter 526: Adventure in the Great Gaol

1
[Box: Calm Belt; Great Gaol, Impel Down]
People: Take care of yourself in there!! // Hancock-sama~~~~~!♡ / Enjoy your trip~~~!!
Hancock: Silence!!
People: Don't be like that~! Take care~!♡
Momonga: What a powerful atmosphere this place possesses... truly this must be what Hell is like...
Luffy: ........................!!

2
Hannyabal: Welcome!! // To my gaol, Impel Down!!!
[Box: Great Gaol / Impel Down / Vice-Chief / HANNYABAL / (rather ambitious)]
Hannyabal: ...Well, actually, that was a mistake. It is a little ambitious of me to call it "my" gaol. / I am, after all, as of yet only the Vice-Chief; my name is Hannyabal. / A pleasure to meet you.
Momonga: Momonga.
Hannyabal: I have been informed of the situation. This must be "Empress" Hancock-dono...? / ......My...... "Empress" Hancock-dono? Ah! Ah!! My apologies!! / There goes my ambition again!!
Momonga: .........

3
Hannyabal: The damned Chief... I mean, the Chief, Magellan, is in his office on Level Four, so we will be heading there to see him first!! / Your guides shall be myself, and Vice Head Gaoler Domino here...!!
Domino: It seems you are short on time, so please, step this way immediately!! / Vice-Admiral, if you would wait over there... we're going to have to conduct a body check. // When criminals arrive, they proceed beyond these bars. / They must remove all of their clothing, and are then thrust into the hundred-degree "Hell Water" we boil in steel cauldrons further in. / This acts as a form of sterilisation, / and also serves as their "baptism" as they enter the gaol. // ......And even amongst prisoners, it seems that some are "greater" than others......... // Certain recently-admitted prisoners, such as Fire-Fist Ace... / ...the Shichibukai Jimbei...
Hancock: .........
Domino: ...and former Shichibukai Crocodile... / ...all went through the baptismal procedure without batting an eyelid; truly an admirable entry.

4
Domino: But there is nothing for you to worry about, being only a guest. / Your check will be conducted in a private room.
Hancock: ...........................
Domino: Now, if I could ask you to remove that cape... // It would, after all, be the easiest item for you to use to conceal something.
Luffy: !
Domino: So I will take charge of it here.
Hancock: !
Domino: Not that we suspect you, but just to ensure that you refrain from suspicious activity... // ...there are Surveillance Den-Den Mushi installed throughout the facility... / ...providing a constant feed to our security monitors. // Now then, first of all, your Kairouseki handcuffs...
Luffy: !
Domino: Hm?
Hancock: Please, be gentle with me...

5
[TN: lol, Hancock turns people lesbian and breaks the species barrier confirmed.]
Luffy: Whewww! That was close!! Things looked so bad for a moment there, I was thinking of making a run for it right there!
Hancock: Luffy...!! It would appear that this is as far as I can take you. / From here on out, I will be unable to use my ability... and without my cape, I will be unable to hide you. // I wish I could be of more help to you, but...
Luffy: What are you talking about?! Heck, if I was on my own... / ...I couldn't possibly have made it all this way!! // Just getting me past all those battleships surrounding this building... / ...is more than enough!!
Hancock: Luffy... this place is a stronghold built for the express purpose of allowing none to escape...!! / You must avoid causing a scene at all costs!! // If you are captured here, you will never see the light of day again......!! / I know you are strong... but you have to promise me you will not go wild in there...!!!

6
Luffy: Okay, got it. It's a promise!! Thank you so much for everything, Hancock!! / I won't forget this!! I'll pay you back someday!!!
Hancock: ?!! // (Just now...!!) // ...............!! // (Did he just...)
Luffy: Hey, Hammock! // Hammock~~~!
Hancock: (...actually call me by the name "Hancock"......?) // I no longer have... // ...any regrets in this world...
Luffy: Hey! You can de-petrify her now!! / I'll handle it from here!!
Hancock: This is......... mutual love...
DenDenMushi: Bzzz!! Bzzz!! Bzzz!!
Hannyabal: !
DenDenMushi: Vice-Chief Hannyabal!! We've lost visuals from the Den-Den Mushi in the Inspection Room. / Is anything going on over there?
Hannyabal: That's where Domino is...

7
Hannyabal: Domino!! Has something happened?!
Luffy: ..................
Domino: My sincere apologies. Did I take too long? // The body check is complete. // (How strange... my memory seems a little hazy......)
DenDenMushi: Visuals have returned. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Hannyabal: Yes, same here!!
Hancock: Hmph...!! Such unsightly things... / I am no prisoner, you know...!! // Exactly who do you take me for?
Hannyabal: My apologies. We are merely following protocol...
Hancock: Now, hurry and show me to the place.........
Hannyabal: Quite. Let us take the large lift...

8
Hannyabal: This lift will take us to the fourth floor down. // The floor in question, where we will be meeting with the Chief of the Gaol, is the Blazing Floor. // It will be a little hot, so be prepared for that. // As we pass through Levels One through Three, you will be able to hear the screams of the prisoners... / It is quite the experience, so please enjoy the ride.
Hancock: ......... // ......... // (.........Luffy... // I pray... // ...for your fortune!!!
Luffy: (Thank you!!)

9
Hancock: !!! // (Did he just say "I love you".........?!!!)
[TN: ...They're barely any closer in Japanese, to be honest... Hell, I'd say the English is closer in terms of lip-reading... ~_~]
Hancock: Ahhh...♡
Hannyabal: H...... Hancock-dono?! What seem to be the matter?!
Domino: Please, get a hold of yourself!!
Momonga: What exactly is going on here all of a sudden...?!!
Luffy: ( then... which way should I be heading...? // That lift looks like it heads down... / ...and Hancock was saying before that Ace will probably be down at the bottom of the ocean... // Ahh, of course!! It's time like this... // ...that I should use my Vivre Card!!

10
SeaKing: RAAAAGHHHHH! // RAAAAAAGHHHHH!!! // RAAAAAGHHHH!!!

11
Announcement: The Bullgori Gaolers are returning! // Provisions have been secured! // Open the hatch!
Guard: Good work.
DenDenMushi: BZZZ!! BZZZ!! BZZZ!!
[Box: Monitor Room]
Guard: We've found him!! // "Buggy the Clown", the prisoner who vanished earlier from Shared Cell 4 on Level One... / ...has been sighted in the passage by Solitary Cell 22!!

12
Guard: Capture him immediately!!
Buggy: ...!! Dammitall!! / They spotted me!! // It was you, wasn't it?! // You little piece of...!!!
Guard: We've lost visuals from Surveillance Den-Den Mushi 71!!
Prisoners: Did you hear that?! It's Buggy!! That's what he gets for trying to run away on his own... / Serves him right! // Oh, he's in for some serious torture how, ihihihi!! // There he goes!! It's a Bullgori!!! // Go get him~~!!! // Catch that asshole quick~~~!! / Hyahyahyahyah!

13
Luffy: *pant* // The Vivre Card keeps on trying to go down... // *pant* // ...but I'm at a dead end... / ...Still, I have got further down.........
Guards: It's Prisoner No. 8200. // He's a Fruit user; don't forget your Kairouseki. // Hah, he won't get away.
Luffy: ! // (And I'm in!)
Guards: We split up, and catch him in a pincer attack! // Now move!!

14
[Box: Impel Down, first floor down; "Level One", the Crimson Floor]
Luffy: (Man, this place is huge.........) // Screaming......? // Well, whatever. Better keep moving!
Prisoners: Hey, hey, hey - you there - yeah, you!!
Luffy: !
Prisoners: Wait up a minute... how did you get out there??
Luffy: "Get out"...? I came in here from the outside! See ya!
Prisoners: Whoa, whoa!! Don't give me that crap~!

15
Prisoners: Who the heck are you?! You're not a gaoler, and you're not one of the guards... // What are you doing outside of the cages?!!
Luffy: Oh, that's right! Do you know where Ace is?
Prisoners: .........Ace?! // You don't mean... the "Fire-Fist Ace"...?!!
Luffy: That's right. I want to save him!!
Prisoners: Puheheheh! You are crazy!! // I did here that he was admitted into here recently... / ...But if he's imprisoned, it'll be down on Level Five!! You won't get anywhere near him! / It's totally impossible!! // I mean, that place is crawling with prisoners with bounties over a hundred million, you know?!! // Anyway, while you're out there... could you go to the gaolers' room... / ...and steal the key to this cell for us? // Yeah!! Help us out! C'mon!!
Luffy: "Level Five"?
Prisoners: Why, the two of us meeting one another in this vast world... / ...Don't you think it must be some sort of fate?! Right?!!
Buggy: AAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~!!!
Luffy: !

16
Luffy: What the heck?!! / Someone's being chased!!
Prisoners: A BULLGORI!!!
Luffy: "Bullgori"?
Prisoners: You should run for it! You'll get yourself killed!!
Bullgori: Uhohoh!!
Buggy: Ungh!! // AAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~!!!
Luffy: Agh!!
Buggy: He got me!!! // Now it's harder to run!!
Prisoners: Aaaahhh!!! what's with these people?!!!

17
Buggy: Ta-daaaaaaah!! Gyahahahah! You really think you can slice ME up, fools?!!! // GUAAAAAHHHHH!! STRAW HAT~~~~~~~??! / What are YOU doing here~~~~~~~~~~?!!
Luffy: !! // Huh?! // Oh... It's just Buggy.
Buggy: Oh, and there he goes!! What the hell's that meant to mean, asshole?!!! / You certainly are as cheeky a bastard as ever!! And when the heck did you manage to get yourself captured, anyway?!
Luffy: I wasn't captured!! I came in here by myself!!
Buggy: WHAT KIND OF IDIOT JUST WALKS INTO A GAOL BY HIMSELF?!!! // Ahh!! Don't tell me... you heard that I'd been captured... and came here... to... save...

18
Buggy: ...yeah, RIGHT, like hell!!! You creepy punk!!!
[TN: ...did he just... interrupt himself with a comeback...?]
Luffy: What the heck are you even going on about?!!! / Damn you, getting me mixed up in all this after I promised Hancock I wouldn't go around making a scene!!!
Buggy: It's not like I'm making a scene because I want to!!! Why, only moments ago... // ...my incredible "Buggy's Super-Sneaky Jailbreak Operation" was ruined completely!!!
Luffy: Who cares.
Buggy: SAY WHAT?!!
Luffy: Ahh!! They're in front of us too!!
Buggy: DAMMITALL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Luffy: So do we really have to run from these guys?!
Buggy: What are you talking about, you idiot?!!! If they catch us, we'll be sent for hellish torture!! / You don't even know, do you?!! These guys are as cold-blooded as sin!!

19
Luffy: So we just have to not get caught, right? I'm in a hurry. // And since it looks like I've already managed to cause a scene...
Buggy: ......!! You and that Red-Hair punk... I just hate that about both of you...!! / You're always so damn optimistic in the worst possible way...!! Aghhh... // Fine, fine, I get it... we just have to beat 'em up, right? // It's time to switch to "Operation Super-Flashy"~~~~~~!!!
Luffy: Fine by me!!!
Bullgori: ?!!
