Chapter 536: Freezing Hell
Coverart: Franky modefying a camel
Hannyabal (Bon disguised): What....!!? (in female tone) I mean... What...!!? (in Hannyabal's male tone)
ImpelDown Medical Room
Doctor: No one's ever survived after receiving multiple poisoning from Warden Magellan...
There are ways if it was just one poison, but there's no way to create an antidote for multiple poison received from the Chief Warden.
Bon: And you call yourselves medics!? You gotta be kidding!! (in female tone)
I mean.... You must be kidding!!! Do something about it! It's been decided that Strawhat Luffy must be handed to the marines alive!
Doctor: But... if we go ahead and treat him with medication, it will only speed up his death. I'm sorry, but there's no way to keep him alive...
Bon: .....!!!
Bon Clay returns to Buggy and Mr3
Bon: Hmmmmpppph!!!
Buggy: Look...!! Saving Strawhat is beyond hope!!
Mr3: To survive after fighting Magellan is a miracle that's not going to happen
Bon: Miracle....
Buggy: huh??
Bon: Yes... Impel Down holds "him"!!! The One of Mircales, Okama-king Iva-san!!!
People that doctors gave up on... Dying nations... The most powerful shining star of the Okama world, who made a legend of saving everything!!
Iva-san!! Now is the time to find him (her) !!!
Buggy & Mr3: Who?
Level 4 Employee reserved staircase
staff: Going to Level 5, sir?
Hannyabal (Bon): Yes, that's right. I'm taking these prisoners (Buggy & Mr3) to serve the Freezing penalty!!
Bon: (...I have to go!! Wait for me, Mugi-chan!!!
...But one thing that's bothering me... about this Level 5 prisoner list.... What's going on?)
staff: Come on, walk straight!! (At Buggy & Mr3)
Bon: ("Emporio Ivankov" the name of Iva-san, the most powerful Okama King ever is erased!! Perhaps he (she)'s been released already? .... Or executed!?)
Bon: Have this prisoner been released already?
staff: Oh, Ivankov... You know, that case back a few years ago. Did you forget already warden?
Bon: That .... yeah, THAT case, you know, THAT!! You know about it? Come on, say it!
staff: Eh, ... we're in front of prisoners but oh well... The disappearing incidents that happens sometimes in Impel Down.
Prisoners obviously not capable of moving, much less escaping.. suddenly disappear without a trace.
"The devil's tugging". Everyone's so afraid of this unusual phenomenon, and compares this to being dragged down into the gates of hell, and calls it this.
Bon: Humans... disappearing...??

2nd Himajin post
Buggy: Cccold!!! And the gate hasn't even opened yet!!
Mr3: And we're wearing so much already...!!
staff: We've arrived. Be ware of the freezing cold and the army wolves. Now if you will, I'll hold these as usual.
Bon: Huh? What!?
staff: You know... your coat and your weapon!! We'll never be able to do the same...
We the staff here are always in awe how you walk here naked and unarmed, saying you'll show off your class as warden to the prisoners!
Bon: .....!!
staff: ... letting the prisoners wear coats are kind of silly too, so.... (takes them away from Buggy & Mr3)
Take care!! You won't be able to use your den-den mushi in this freezing cold either, so be careful!!
Buggy: OOOOOHH..... COOOOLLDD!!! No, it HURTS. It's so cold IT HURTS
Some wolves appear, and comes towards them
Buggy: one... two... three... four wolves.... hey, aren't those the army wolves he was talking about?
Do you know why they aren't in the Beast Hell floor?
Bon: No, why?
Mr3: Oh! I know, because if they let them loose in Lv2, they'd eat the Basilisk and Sphinx up! Because they are so ferocious!
Bon: Ok then, let's be careful!! Let's go rescue Mugichan!!! Heeey!? Running away already!!?
Buggy: I don't want to be eaten, moron.
Mr3: YOU go ahead and do this alone!!!
Meanwhile, in the freezing floor, the central tower cells
Luffy: Uwaaaaazaa!!! Huh... Huff.... Ha... *coff* ha...aa....!!
Prisoner: Well we got a terrible one here... Are we supposed to keep eye on him till he dies?
Luffy: Uuu... it hurts.... Uuuu....!!!
Luffy remembers what Elder Nyon told him (something about you won't be able to do anything there)
Luffy tries to destroy the cage with headbutts
Prisoner: Stop it, it's pointless. It's not like you're going to live after taking so much poison.
Looks like your eyes are damage too... Can you at least hear? Just accept your death...
Luffy: No I WON'T!! I won't die!!
continued
Part 3
Luffy: I wont' die!! Not until I save Ace...!!
Prisoner: You wanna save someone, even though you're not gonna live? You have a friend in the cell or something? Stupid...
In the prison, just save your own life!! There's no help here, and everyone here are on their own.
In the fiery pits, you step on others to live, and when you encounter a monster you feed them who's next to you as a bait to save yourself.
Caring about others means your own death! Don't mention crap about saving others!! Makes me want to puke...!!
The prisoners laugh
Prisoner: Look... someone's coming
Prisoner: It not a prison guard.... not a staff
Bon: Mugichan!! I came to Ssave Ju!!! In... In the name of FRIENDZHIIPP!! (Bon-chan not being able to say it straight)
Prisoner: What's with him, he'll all covered in blood...
Bon: ....zzoorrryy for runnin' avay!!!!!
Prisoner: ...!! What are... you
Bon: I'm a FRIEND!!! Mugichan...!!!
Bon takes Luffy, and leaves the cell.
Prisoner: Hey... he left us the key.
Prisoner: Escaping here? I've never even thought it possible.
He looks for Iva-san, asking prisoners in other cells
Prisoner: Iva-san??
Prisoner: I don't know where that faggot went, what the hell do you want?
Prisoner: Emporio Ivankov...? Oh yeah, I remember him long time ago... I heard he died?
Prisoner: Huh? Why are you looking for someone not here?
Prisoner: Anyways... how did you get out of the cell!! Let me out too... Come on!!
Bon: I'm looking for someone called Iva-san!! Hello hello!?
Finally, some information
Prisoner A: You see a forest over there? Try over there. There's a warden room there that's not being used anymore...
I saw some strange fella coming out of there, try there.
Bon: Really...!?
Bon goes to the forest
Prisoner B: Hey you.... isn't that forest the territories for the wolves?
Prisoner A: Hm? Oh was it? hehehehe...
continued
Final
Bon: (Gate of hell!? What the hell is that about!! No way Iva-san is gonna be erased because of something vague like that...
I've never met him, but with so many miracles he caused everywhere, he must have done some miracles here too!! He's the god of Okama!!
...Please save Mugichan's life!!! If there's no antidote for this poison, you're the only one that can save him!! The only thing I can do is not to give up!!)
Bon walks crying. A pack of wolves attack from behind.
Bon fights back. He fights well, but he's bitten everywhere, and is eventually overwhelmed
Bon: Gyaaaa!!!! Uwaaaa!!!!!
Luffy, barely alive, manages to bite one of the wolves.
Luffy: What... do you think you're doing to Bonchan...!!!
Bon: ....!! Mugichan!!!
Luffy: GO AWAY!!!!!!
Luffy yells, and the wolves all fall unconscious, foaming at their mouths
Luffy falls unconscious too
Bon: Mu... Mugichan, what... was that....
Bon falls unconscious also
A strange man holding a glass of wine appears in front of them.
[26 hours until Ace's public execution]
