Ch.538 "Address Level 5.5 Newcomerland" (play on words with New Kama Land")
<p.2>Ivankov: 10 years of your life…!!!
Ivankov: I'm going to have to use...10 years out of the life you will have after you go through with this!!! Straw boy.
Luffy: ha....ha....I understand.
Ivankov: ...however, it doesn't mean that I'll guarantee that you'll survive even with using your 10 years...!! The probability you will survive in your current conditions is 0%...I can only provide a mere 2.3% probability of survival.
<p.3>Ivankov: Whether if your survival is possible or impossible hinges upon on vyour "willpowernable"!!
Ivankov: If vyou die, the posion wins. If you are spared with your life, it's vyour win.
Ivankov: ...then off you go.
Luffy: .....
Ivankov: To the depths of death!!!
Ivankov: "Emporio Healing Hormone"!!!!
Luffy: !!?
<p.4>Luffy: ......................!!!
Luffy: Vah....!!!
tightening severly heart pounding quickly liquid streaming quickly
Luffy: Aggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
<p.5>Mr.2: ........!!
Mr.2: ....he's been screaming like this for 10 hours....!!? Straw-chan.......!!!
Ivankov: "Vitality" and "Hormone". With these the human body demonstratenable the "Vital Force".
Luffy: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Mr.2: ...........
Ivankov: Vi pulled out all of Straw boys's potential "Immunity Strength" that's lurked in his body and overflown it to convert his body to fight with the deadly poison.
Ivankov: His internal body is being destroyed and regenerated repeatedly, over and over, at an extraordinary rate.....!!
Ivankov: Only if he endures through that pain.....will he survive.....!!
Ivankov: Why don't you peek inside if you're so worried.
Mr.2: ......................
Luffy: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Mr.2: Straw-cha....
Mr.2: !!?
<p.6>Mr.2: Waaaaaaaaaah!!!
Mr.2: He...he...he's going to die!!! His body is tearing apart and *#&^$#...!!!
Mr.2: ...no, he's already dead...!!
Mr.2: It's terrible!!! Help him!!! Please help Straw-chan!!! Unbind the chains and stop the bleeding and...!!
Mr.2: ...can't you do something for him........!!!
Ivankov: .........
Ivankov: Shut up!!!
Mr.2: Beh!!!
Ivankov: I am helping him right now!!!
<p.7>Ivankov: Don't underestimate life!!!
Luffy: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, cough!!
Mr.2: !!?
Ivankov: Do you understand how much it takes to oppose fate that has already decided to die!!?
Ivankov: Vi'm not a god or a buddha. A "Miracle Worker"!? Vyou're free to call vme what you like, but....
Ivankov: I've never helped an idiot who only clings to another person for help...like the country that was about to fall to poverty, like the country that was defeated in battle and was about to die...Vi only questioned their "will" to live.
Ivankov: A miracle will only fall upon those who don't give up!!!!
Ivankov: Don't underestimate "miracles"!!!!
Mr.2: !!!
<p.8>Ivankov: ...in short, Vi ate the "Horu Horu no mi" and am a "Hormone Controlling Human".
Ivankov: Sex, body temperature, pigment, growth, tension!! I'm a human body engineer who can remodel a human from the inside.
Ivankov: Vyou seem to have the scent of a "Newcomer" from the very beginning but, the Candies here have completely rised above gender. A man here could have originally been a woman.....a woman could have originally been a man....these are miracles. Mmmmmfufufu!! This is miraculable!!!
Crowd: Fuuuuuuuu!!
Mr.2: I see....!! So you've used "hormone" on that guy to turn him into a girl.....!!
Mr.2: ....but the more I see, the more I'm convinced this is not prision!! This is a dream after all!!
Ivankov: This is not a dreeeeam!!! It's a land of dreams!!!
Mr.2: Beh!!
<p.9>Ivankov: The Candies here were originally prisoners who were lost. They were able to make it here through luck. There are many entrances. In the needle mountain that drips of blood, in the den of wild animals, in the blazing hell fire.....in the morgue.....in other words, through their vwe procure our various supplies.
Ivankov: Not one of the guards have noticed. They would never have thought a paradise like this would exist here in hell....and all of the outside news are available to vus. We have one of the same image denden-mushi in the monitor room so we are catching all of the prison news from there. We also steal newspapers from the garbage cans so news from the world we have too.
Ivankov: We all had good fun watching the history's first "invader" Straw boy and vyou guys great efforts. It was very funble!!!
<p.10>Mr.2: ...where in the world is this place!? Why is there so much space here!?
Ivankov: ...Of course originally we neverable had this space. A prisoner who was confined to this prison long, long time ago was a "Hole Digger" ability user and...
Ivankov: ...I hear that that Candy is the first prisoner who built this prisoner's paradise. This place here is like digging a hole in a huuuuuuuuuuuuge rock like an ant hill...if you go by floors...it would be just about the middle of "LEVEL 5" and "LEVEL 6".
Mr.2: Wait a minute, LEVEL 6!!? There's a floor called that!?
Ivankov: Mmmmmfufu. Hmmm, that's right, although the general public doesn't know about it...
Ivankov: ...it does exist...the real dangerous ones are there!!
Ivankov: ...all of them have gotten either the death penalty or the absolute lifetime in prison...!! LEVEL 6, the "Infinite Hell"...events that are too atrocious are smothered out by the government...!!
<p.11>Ivankov: ...or events that are inconvenient to the government, like, for example...vyou guys were rampaging around and were able to reach to LEVEL 4, but...you probably wouldn't have done it so easily...just a little while back.
Mr.2: !?
Ivankov: ....that's because there is one more personable, in these prison walls, who has enormous power...Impel Down's "Head of the Guards".
Ivankov: "Shiryuu the Rain"....his abilities is on par with Chief Mazellan...!! If you take into account of Mazellan's short shifts, the real troublesome person is not Mazellan but Shiryu.
Mr.2: On par with Mazellan...!!?
Ivankov: Impel Down prided itself of their iron walls with these "2 Metal Plates".
Mazellan: {Shiryuu......!!}
Mazellan: {What are you doing...!!?}
Shiryuu: {.....what do you mean, what?}
<p.12>Mazellan: {The prisoners are not here for your amusement! Shiryuu!!!}
Shiryuu: {..........}
Shiryuu: {You mean someone would have a problem if I cut trash......?}
Ivankov: Every time he would feel like it he would cause a great massacre and they couldn't laynable a hand on him so they labeled him as a dangerous person and currenty is confined in floor "LEVEL 6".
Mr.2: ...I've never even heard of that event...!! Even if that happened before I got in here...
Ivankov: From the world of pirates, there's the history's worst female priosner, Catarina Debon, the Gigantic Battleship, Sanfan Wolf...Heavy Drinking Basco Shot...these are pirates who when people hear of these names they can't stop from quivering.
<p.13>Ivankov: When each of these legendary class causes events that are too atrocious that it has even been concealed from the newspaper articles, these go to the "LEVEL 6"...!!! Vyour ex-boss is here too. He's also pretty crazy.
Mr.2: ..........!! 0-chan!? .......Crocodile!?
Ivankov: Straw boy and you guys were enemies at Alabasta right? You guys have an interesting relationship.
Mr.2: Position has nothing to do with friendship!!
Ivankov: hahaha...you're right...hmm, there's also the "Yakuza of the Sea, Jinbei" from the Shichibukai.
Mr.2: Wha!?
Ivankov: ...and he's Straw boy's objectives this time around, right? White Beard's Pirates 2nd Division Commander, Portgas D. Ace!! I've heard from the correspondence inside the prison walls that those two are brothers.
Mr.2: ....yes. Straw-chan came here to help that person.
Ivankov: Mmmmfufu...! To come and actually to succeed in breaking in already in itself is a miracle...but, he has to give that up now...
Ivankov: He has to worry about his own life rather than his brother's.....!!! Since it's already passed midnight.....Ace boy's execution would be today at 15 o'clock...and he would probably be lead away to "Marine Headquarters" during the morning so.....
<p.14>Ivankov: ....hmmmmm, let's see...Ace boy will be taken away in about 7, 8 hours.
Ivankov: Straw boy's detoxification treatment will....take about another 2 days. Let's say he did survive from that, he would stay in bed for another 3 days to recover his strength. When he comes to everything will already be over.
Mr.2: Wait, before that...!! Would Straw-chan's body.....even hold together for another 2 days in that condition!!?
Ivankov: It's normal for not to hold together!! Remember, what I told you? It would be a miracle if he holds.
Mr.2: saddened
Ivankov: Vyou have to rest your body too.
Ivankov: Eat something, nourishable yourself first before you go to sleep. We'll guide you to a silentable room.
Mr.2: ..............!!
Mr.2: I!! I will go to Straw-chan's room!!!
Ivankov: !
Crowd: ....hey, give it up. That guys definitely going to......
Ivankov: .........
Crowd: I think the chances are slim...
Crowd: ...w...what are you going to do even if you do go!?
<p.15>Ivankov: ............
Ivankov: ?
Luffy: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Mr.2: ------------------!!

Jinbei: ...........!!
Jinbei: ...........!!
Ace: .....!!....no, I'm sorry...but Jinbei...
