Chapter 530: From Hell To Hell

[Insert text: The hole to Level Three!!
Gaolers: Monitor Room!! We're on the scene at Level 2!! Are you getting these visuals? // What on Earth happened in this place......?! It looks like... / ...there really is a hole in the floor big enough for the Sphinx itself to fall through!! // What exactly is Straw Hat Luffy after?!
[Box: Impel Down, Level Two: Floor of the Beasts of Hell]
Gaolers: ?!! // Ahh...

3
[Box: Impel Down, Monitor Room]
Gaolers: ......!! Hey, look!!! This is terrible!!! // The prisoners on Level Two are out of their cages!!! How did they get the keys?!! // Is this Straw Hat's doing as well?! The gaolers down there are in trouble!!
Prisoners: Honour and thanks to Captain Buggy!!! // Captain Buggy, our saviour!!!
Gaolers: This is Level Two!! // Requesting immediate backup!! // THE PRISONERS ARE GOING WILD~~~!!!

4
Gaolers: Send the Blugori down to Level Two!!! // Hey!! We've uncovered Straw Hat Luffy's objective!! // You have...?! But how... // Admiral Sengoku of Marine Headquarters says there's no doubt about it......!!! // ! // The intruder, Monkey D Luffy... // ...and the death row prisoner we're currently holding in maximum security, / Portgas D Ace!! // It turns out the two of them are brothers!!! // Then... he's trying to break Fire Fist Ace out of there before the public execution can take place?!!! // That's right!! No doubt about it......!! // No wonder he's ploughing through one Hell after another...!!! // We've been too distracted by Whitebeard's attack... if he were to somehow actually succeed with this, the entire situation would be turned upside down...!!! // Get word to Chief Magellan, immediately!! And deal with the riot on Level Two!!!

[Box: Grand Line / Marine Headquarters]
Garp: Bwahahahahahah!!
Sengoku: What's so funny, Garp?!!!
Garp: Wahahahahah!!
Sengoku: We're in the middle of an incident certain to shake this entire ocean... and that fool decides to make the situation even worse...!! // Enies Lobby, the Tenryuubito incident, and now this...!! / This is all completely unprecedented!!! // The escape of the Flying Pirate, Kinjishi, twenty years ago, may have been a failure on our part...
[TN: "Kinjishi" literally means "Golden Lion"]
Sengoku: ...but it has been twenty years since then!! And of all the hundreds of thousands of prisoners imprisoned there... // ...we have had not a single successful jailbreak, much less an intrusion, in all that time!! / The iron walls of the Great Gaol have held flawlessly firm for twenty years!!!

6
Sengoku: Why is it that the man to besmirch that record and become the first man ever to penetrate Impel Down... // ...is that blasted grandson of yours again, Garp?!!!
Garp: He's gone and done it!! That's my grandson for ya!!
Sengoku: Damn that Bartholemew Kuma...!! Claiming that he had "eliminated" the entire Straw Hat crew on the Shabondy Archipelago...!! / So it was a lie, after all...!!!
Garp: I didn't believe a word that Shichibukai said for a moment...!! / ...Still, I'd like to know how he slipped through that Marine siege...!!!
Sengoku: You know, if it weren't for you being called a "Hero of the Marines"... / ...I'd be making you take responsibility for your entire damned family's actions about now, Garp!!!
Garp: Wahahah! I can't say I think the situation's at a level... / ...where the life of an old-timer like me would be enough to atone for it! Bwahahahahahah!!!

[Box: Impel Down, Level Three]
[Label: Current Location]
Mr3: Owww!
Buggy: Owowowowww!!! / The floor's like a freaking frying pan!!
Luffy: It sure is hot... // And awful quiet, too......!!
Buggy: Level Three... // How did we end up in a place like this......?!! // I can't BELIEVE you dragged me down with you AGAIN, Straw Hat!!!
Luffy: Huh, the lion's out cold.
Mr3: ...With my candle-based abilities... this place is too much for me.........

8
Luffy: Mmm!! A grilled bird just fell down!!
Buggy: Don't be stupid...!
Mr3: I suppose one of the hummingbirds from the floor above must have wandered through the hole and been cooked on the way down...
Luffy/Buggy: THAT'S TOO HOT!!!
Mr3: Take a look in the cages...
Luffy: !
Mr3: You wouldn't know it to look at them... // ...but every single person imprisoned here in Level Three......... // ...was once a notorious criminal powerful enough to hold a bounty of fifty million or over...! // Forced to endure the heat rising up from the Blazing Hell on the floor below, and given precious little food or water... // ...these prisoners are reduced to a state of near-death.

9
Mr3: ...This is Level Three, the Starvation Hell!!! // Frankly, if we don't get out of here quickly... / ...we'll waste away ourselves in no time...!! // We have to get ourselves away from this floor... / ...while we still have sweat left in our bodies.........!!
Luffy: Well, let's hurry on down to Level Four, then!!
Mr3/Buggy: YEAH, RIGHT!!!

10
Luffy: C'mon, help me out here~~~! You said you'd help me rescue Ace, didn't you?!
Mr3: I did not say any such thing!!
Buggy: What the hell kind of rose-coloured glasses are you looking at your memories through, huh?!!!
Luffy: You didn't?
Gaolers: They're in position. Raise the net!! // Roger that.
Luffy: Fine, then, I'll go on my own.
Buggy: ?!
Luffy: !!
People: Aaaaghhhhh~~!!! // What's all this?!! // Dammit~~~~~~~!!! It's a trap!!! They were ready for us!!!

11
Luffy: ...!! It's made of steel...!!!
Buggy: Dammitall~~~~~~~~!!! This stuff's got Kairouseki in it...
Mr3: Oh, the tortures that will await us after attempting to escape...! // We're doomed!!
Gaolers: We have captured the intruder, Straw Hat Luffy, and the two others.
Buggy: Who're you calling "the two others"?!!!
Mr3: Don't, Buggy-kun... There's no point resisting any longer...!! It's all over...
Luffy: Ughhhh! Stupid net... open up!!
Buggy: The Guards... and the Blugori, too!!
Gaolers: Make sure to secure them with Kairouseki handcuffs!! // Roger that.
Luffy: Open up!! Open up!! // Huh? Who the heck are you?!!
Saldeath: I am... Saldeath!!
Luffy: A monkey...? You don't really look like one.
[TN: It's a silly pun. His name in Japanese ("Sarudesu") sounds like "saru desu", meaning "I'm a monkey"]
Saldeath: No!! You misunderstand me!! I am... Saldeath!!
Luffy: A monkey, huh...
Saldeath: NO!!

12
Saldeath: Prepare yourselves!! Resistance is meaningless! // You are trapped inside an underwater gaol... // There was never anywhere for you to run to! // You should be glad to have been captured by me...!
[Box: Chief Guard / Saldeath / (Commander of the Blugori)]
Saldeath: After all, should you proceed to the floors below, you will encounter... / ...the four "Demon Guards"...
[TN: The word I'm translating as "Guards" ("Gokusotsu") refers to both "prison guards" and "tormenting devils" in Hell. This new term is the same word with "beast" stuck on the end. But "Guard Beast" isn't really catchy, and besides, he's talking about them like people, so they're clearly not just beasts anyway. So I figure "Demon Guard" works. Incidentally, terminology in here is getting a little cramped. I'm already translating two separate terms as "gaoler" ("Rouban", referring to the Blugori, Level Two beasts, etc, and "kanshu", referring to the human guards)... I'm trying to maintain some kind of consistency, though...]
Buggy: He's right... I don't ever want to run into that, or the Chief Warden...
Sphinx: ......!! // Grrrrr....... Reimen...
Guard: ...Ah - Chief - !!

13
Sphinx: GRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! / Katayaki soba!!
Everyone: ?!! // !!!
Guards: Guaahhhh!!! // The Sphinx woke up~~~~!!!
Saldeath: Not good...!! The net is going to break! // Don't let those three escape...... especially Straw Hat!!!
Sphinx: GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! / Soup spaghetti!!!
Buggy: Aaaaghh!! .........All right!!
Everyone: ?!!!

14
Others: Guaaahhh!!
Luffy: Whe~~~~~w!! Time to run!!!
Guards: GET HIM!!!
Luffy: Gomu Gomu no...

15
Luffy: GATLING~~~~~~~!!!!
Guards: Guaaaahhh~~~~~~!!!
Luffy: *pant*... *pant*... ......?! / Huh?! .........Where did the others go...?!
Buggy: Come on, Mr. 3!!
Mr3: It... It's so hot I can barely...!!
Luffy: Ahh!! / They climbed the net and ended up up there.........?!!

16
Buggy: Gya~~~~~~~hahahah!! Straw Hat!! / Say hi to Ace for me, will ya?!!! Let's all have a drink together if you get out of this alive!!!
Mr3: Fuhahaha! Make sure you keep up the brilliant distraction!! Du~~~~~mmy!!!
Luffy: Kind of a pity, but... // Okay!! See you!! Thanks for helping me get this far!!!
Buggy: Ughhh~~!! / He's TOO positive!!!
Mr3: Ughh... my chest hurts...
Saldeath: Don't let your guard down!! That man's worth three hundred million!
Luffy: I don't have the time to stand around fighting all of you!!
Sphinx: !! // GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Luffy: ! // Oh, crap... this guy was here as well!!

17
Luffy: Hup!! // Hup!!
Guards: Unghh?!! // Damn you!! // Guaaahhh!! // He's getting away!! After him~~~~~!!!
Luffy: Way down... Way down...

18
Buggy: *pant* // *pant*...
Mr3: S... So hot...!!
Buggy: *pant*... W... We should be safe here for the moment... // They've all gone running after Straw Hat...
Mr3: But the stairs leading back up are blocked...!!! And staying here is torture enough already...
BonClay: Un, Deux, KURAAA~!♪
Buggy: Hm? // What's that singing...?
BonClay: Un, Deux, ORAAA~!♪ // Un, Deux, KURAAA~!♪
