Guard: There's seem to be some sort of blunder...at the passage way to Level 3.
Mazellan: What happened...
Guard: We don't know what happened yet.....!!
Prisoner: Hey!! ...hey!!
Prisoner: ha....he's no good no more...
Prisoner: .......he's either dead...
Prisoner: ...or he's been cryopreserved for the future....!!
Prisoner: Buhehehehe. That's dumb.
<p14>Prisoner: Ah! My finger fell!
Prisoner: Hahahahaha. That's frostbite. It looks like you're finished too.

Prisoner: Hey newcomer!! How much is the prize money on your head!!?
Prisoner: !!
Prisoner: …...ah....
Prisoner: Ah, there's no hope for him anymore....he's got the "Punishment of Poison"....
[Passage way to Level 4, Level 3…]
Mazellan: …........!!
Mazellan: Whatever happened here!!?
Mazellan: Hannyabal, how did you let this happen while you were here....!!?
Mazellan: To have the entire troop wiped out...!!!
<p16>Mazellan: Wake up, Hannyabal!!! What happened here!!?
Hannyabal: Gack!! Gaaaaack!!! Ah!! Bo....Boss!! Let go of me!!!
Hannyabal: Gasp...!! ....I...I apologize.....!!
Hannyabal: I was off my guard.........!!!
Mr.3: I...I don't want to be tortured!!
Buggy: Damn it. That okama idiot abandoned us!!!
Hannyabal: The culprit.... is an okama kung fu user...
Mazellan: I don't need to hear excuses...so he ran up the stairs to the floors above, huh....?
Guard: That prisoner is from Crocodile's "Baroque Works" and calls himself "Mr.2"...!!!
Guard: Ah!! And he's an okama...
Mazellan: I don't care.
Guard: He's a prisoner from Level 3. We suspect it's only a matter of time before he is caught....
<p17>Mazellan: What happened to the riot in Level 2?
Hannyabal: It seems like it's nearly subdued......
Mazellan: Gather all the troops here in Level 4 and send them up to Level3. Have Sadi-chan take command and release the beasts! I'll leave the rest up to you.
Hannyabal: Yes sir....What should we do with the captured two...?
Mazellan: ....Do as you like...!!
Mazellan: Hurry up and clean the garbage and bring back the normal Impel Down...!!
Mazellan: ....I'm going to now trap myself in that "Place of Closed Area".
Hannyabal: Diarrhea again, huh?
Hannyabal: ...Hey!! You guys too, hurry and get up and go look for that last fugitive!!
Guard: .....!! Ow....Owwwwww.....
Guard: Y....Yes sir!!! Right away, sir!!!
Guard: Oh, what should we with these two?
Hannyabal: Ahhh....I have something I want to ask to them. Open the interrogation room. I'll take responsibility and look after them.
Guard: Understood, sir.
<p18>Mr.3: Gah
Buggy: Blah
Guard: Well then, chief.
Hannyabal: Yeah.
Buggy: .....ha....ha....we're saved.
Mr.3: W...we've slipped away from torture!! O...okay, what should we do from here?
Hannyabal: You know what we have to do. We have to hurry...!!!
Hannyabal: We have no time to lose...!!!
Mr.2: We have to rescue Straw-chan!!!
<p19>Buggy: Wh...what do you mean rescue!? Didn't you just hear from that guard? He got poisoned from Mazellan's poison and been sent down to Level 5!! Strawhat's life itself has no hope anymore!! We'll just die in vain!!
Mr.2: I don't care whether it's dying in vain or dying in okama. I've already left behind my life when I've turned my back on Straw-chan and Mazellan.....!!
Mr.2: Rather than both of us falling and getting captured!! I ran....and as long as Straw-chan still clings to life, I promised that I would return, even if it would cost me my life, to rescue him!! That is the vow I took as I ran...!!!
Buggy: .......
Buggy: ....It's fine to take a vow, but think about it! You were just able to survive because you've ran away. So why do you have to go back to that place of death just for him!?
Mr.2: Because we're buds!!!!
Mr.2: and I don't need another reason!!!!</p19></p18></p17></p16></p15></p14></p13></can't></p12></p11></p10></p9></p8></p7></poison></p6></p5></p4></p3></p2>
