Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Chapter 58 - Impel Down: Level 4

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you…" Carina repeats herself multiple times as she and Hades are currently flying over the sea. 10 minutes ago, Hades teleported himself and Carina from Gold Resort back to Sabaody Archipelago so they could begin their prison break. The one little thing Hades forgot to mention was how they are going to the Impel Down as the infamous prison of the World Government is located at Clam Belt and behind the Gate of Justice.

Carrying Carina in the princess lift, Hades flies high up to the sky using three combinations of rooster talisman, rabbit talisman and snake talisman. Carina freaked out due to how Hades was carrying her at first, then when she learned of how they were going to travel she protested but it was too late as they were already traveling at high speed. Thanks to the recent power from the Water Demon, the snake talisman is now able to erase the sound since Carina screamed nonstop for 5 minutes while holding Hades's neck with dear life.

"Would you stop crying? You are going to turn me into deaf by the time we get to the Impel Down." Hades said to Carina after she finally stopped screaming her lungs out.

"You never told me you could fly. How can you forget to mention the most important part where you could fly over the sea while carrying ME like this?" Carina gives her clear concerns to Hades as she holds tight on his neck and refuses to open her eyes. Looking at her, Hades can see that she was crying and blushed moments ago as her face shows traces of redness.

"If you want I could just drop you here since you don't want to come with me," Hades teases the poor thief but the moment he finishes his sentence, Carina tightens her holds like glue, refusing to let him go at all cost.

"Don't you dare, you promise me that you will keep me safe, why can't we just teleport just like you did back at Gold Resort?" Carina asks Hades an interesting question which Hades gladly answers.

"Simple, I have never been to Impel Down. So, there is no way I could teleport to a place I have never been to before. But, when we get the people I'm looking for, we will be able to get out instantly, so don't worry about it. Just stay close to me or you will get left behind." Hades explained in a joyful tone which upset Carina more as she is not in a happy mood. Going to the World Government's maximum prison is a hard pill to swallow but traveling in the most unorthodox way such as flying is just out of this world for a normal person like her.

"Next time, you will have to explain everything to me before you do something like this. Got it?" Carina said to Hades which Hades gave a small chuckle before giving her his answer.

"Does this mean you will join me and my organization? I better start hiding my wallet and silverware." This made Carina turn red again and open her eyes to say something but she immediately regretted it as she saw the dark ocean and how high she was flying above the sea. About a few minutes later, Hades got bored and decided to make things a little interesting.

"Hey, Carina," Hades said to Carina to which she responded with a small voice.

"Yea? Are we there yet?" With her eyes closed again, she answers back to Hades.

"Do you trust me?" Hades asks the thief girl who is now gotten used to the current situation with Hades.

"No, I don't trust you at all," Carina said back to Hades, who just smiled and decided to surprise her. Using his rooster talisman, he levitates her from his arms and let her go from his arms which made Carina panic once again.

"No! What are you doing?" Phantom thief screams with fear for a second but starts to realize that she wasn't falling to her death.

"Open your eyes. Trust me, it will be worth it." After hearing that Carina slowly opened her eyes to see that she is flying next to Hades. Realizing that she wasn't falling she began to calm down and gave Hades a death glare.

"That's not funny, you could have gotten me a heart attack! Why didn't you tell me you could make me fly?" Carina yelled at now laughing Hades as both of them are still flying in the same trajectory and speed.

"Because you being a scary cat makes me want to tease you more. Also, this is for stealing my wallet back in Alabasta." Hades said as he moved Carina back to his arms which she once again held onto Hades's neck, tighter than before.

"Now, I don't fully trust you at all," Carina whispered to herself but didn't close her eyes this time as she began to enjoy the night sky and glimmering reflection of the night sea from the stars.

Hour Later,

Entrance to the Impel Down's Gate of Justice,

"Wow, I know they have the giant gate but this is just ridiculously huge," Hades said to himself as he flew higher to pass over one of the Gate of Justice. Meanwhile, Carina just watches the giant gate in silence with amazement since no normal person would be able to see this kind of structure in their lifetime.

"Ok, we made it in time. I will maintain the invisibility, just stick next to me and we will be fine." Hades warns his crime partner on his arms after overcoming the giant gate. This got Carina's attention regarding what Hades just said about 'made in time'.

"Why in such a hurry? Are we intercepting someone before they enter prison? I thought we were going in." Carina asks Hades as both of them can now see the top part of the Impel Down in the far distance.

"No, there is someone else who is coming to this prison. Don't worry, he won't be here for a couple of hours and by then we will be long gone. For now, your job is to steal one particular item from the armory while I cause a prison riot between level 4 to 1 so Impel Down will go on lockdown." Hades explains his plan to the Phantom Thief but this didn't convince her at all.

"This sounds like a half baked plan. Why do the whole riot thing? Who are you trying to prevent from leaving the Impel Down?" Carina asks as she sensed there is a motive to create a riot in the prison.

"Because right now, there is a Warlord who is on his way to Impel Down with someone I know of and it will be a huge problem for everyone if they break out everyone in level 6." As Hades explains, both he and Carina saw the enormous tower structure made out of solid stones and guarded by dozens of Marine battlesh.i.p.s.

Landing on the entrance of the Impel Down, Hades maintains invisibility as both he and Carina walk towards the main prison gate. Using Ninja Khans, Hades and Carina merged with shadows and managed to go through the gap below the entrance. Easily passing the entrance, Hades and Carina reappear from the shadow and proceed to search for the location of the armory.

After a few minutes of searching and covering surveillance Den Den Mushi with shadow, they found the armory. After knocking the prison armors and few guards, Hades searched the weapon inventory but to his disappointment, it only had standard prison guard weapons and didn't have the item Hades was looking for.

"Damn it, is it possible that they are keeping that thing in warden's office?" Hades whispers to himself while Carina goes over the record books to find the information they are looking for.

"You said the sword we are looking for is Raiu, right? It seems they have that weapon transfer to level 4 armory, I guess it's a more secured armory compared to this one." Carina said as she closed one of the armory record books.

"Ok, let's move to level 4 and get that weapon. I'll lock this room so no one will know what just happened." Hades then grabbed Carina's hand and turned both of them invisible once again. After that, he locked the armory and removed the shadows from the surveillance Den Den Mushi.

"Prepare yourself, we are about to go through level 1 to level 4 of the Impel Down," Hades warned Carina as he used the rabbit talisman to travel at super speed. Because everything in the Impel Down is controlled by the surveillance room, the elevators won't go anywhere without proper authorization from the senior guards or staff members. So, Hades decided to go down in each level which is going through a large hole in the middle of each level.

-------------------------

40 Minutes Later,

Level 4: Blazing Hell,

Thanks to his rabbit talisman and rooster's flight, Hades and Carina easily went through from surface level to level 4 in record time. For Carina, going to each level of the Impel Down was a horror show itself as she witnessed the terrifying environment of the prison and prisoners being tormented by it.

"This is horrible, I know they are criminals just like us but this is just a nightmare in real life. I'm just glad I'm not staying in this place." The thief said to Hades as both of them were searching for a level 4 armory. Going through the blazing heat, Carina was the first to find the armory which to Hades's surprise it was near the Warden's office and kitchen of the Impel Down.

"We have to make sure we don't get the Warden's attention. Warden Magellan ate the devil fruit that allows him to produce and control poisons at will. I will create a riot and distract every guard including Magellan. When you see the opening, go to the armory and steal the sword." Hades instructs Carina who holds him for a second to question his plan.

"You can't just leave me here, are you nuts? Why can't you just send your ninjas to do the work?" Carina said to Hades as she witnessed multiple times how he could just summon shadow ninjas as if they were part of him.

"I'm going to release only weak criminals of my choosing since I don't want to make this riot too difficult for guards to handle. Also, wear these boots, it will help you. Wait for the signal, you will know." With that explanation, Hades gave the boots of silence to Carina and disappeared instantly. The moment Hades is gone, Carina becomes visible once again in the dark corner of prison level 4.

About a few minutes later, the entire prison went on full alert as half of the level 4 prisoners escaped their cages and arm themselves with weapons. This caused the chain reaction in which entire level 4 guards grab their weapons from the armory to arm themselves and regain control of the prison. After the last guard left the armory, Carina saw her chance to enter the room without making a sound and apprehend the armor from behind. Since most of the weapons were taken by the guard it was easy for Carina to find the sword she was looking for, the Raiu.

"Just holding this sword makes me shiver in a cold sweat for no reason. I wonder who was the user of this sword?" Carina said to herself as she was about to leave the armory but stop and hide immediately as someone was coming in through the door. The person who entered the armory is a tall and slim woman with long orange hair, wearing a dominatrix style red outfit. She also wears a scarf like a cape and holds a pitchfork in her hand as she looks around the armory.

"Why isn't this armory locked and secured? Mmmmm, I smell something or someone not purified by the Hells Hot Tub." Chief guard Sadi of the Impel Down said to herself and separated the whip from the pitchfork to strike the ground, creating a sharp crack noise. Seeing this, Carina cursed herself as she looked for ways to escape from the dominatrix but it was useless as Sadi closed the door behind her.

"Mmmmm, come out and play with Little Sadi. I can't wait to punish you and hear your scream. Don't worry, I won't hit too hard, just a little bit of blood and cuts, that's all. " Sadi licks her lips as she slowly walks towards the large stack of boxes where Carina is currently hiding.
