Chapter 77: Sightseeing in Impel Down

"Once prisoners get in here, they can't get out, right?"

Domino glanced at Smoker and nodded: "Most can't, because they are already dead before they have a chance to leave."

"Unless they break out, but in all my time serving here, a prison break has never occurred."

Karl, who had just been about to speak, suddenly choked on his words. He had originally wanted to mention Shiki the Golden Lion, but it seemed Domino hadn't joined Impel Down yet when Shiki escaped.

After all, Magellan was only a Vice Warden back then.

"Miss Domino, take us to the second level!"

Hearing it was Karl speaking, Domino immediately revealed a sweet smile, her cheeks flushing slightly: "Yes, Rear Admiral Karl, please follow me!"

They entered the elevator again and arrived at the second level.

After stepping out, Domino first pointed to the large iron cages on both sides.

"The second underground level is the Wild Beast Hell. The fierce monsters in these cages are the reason for this level's name."

"Under normal circumstances, they are let out for air once a day. If a prison break occurs, they will all be released to tear apart any prisoners who dare to escape."

Karl nodded, looking at the jailers busy ahead, and asked: "Are the prisoners I need to escort all from the second level?"

"Yes, look, that shirtless man over there is our Vice Warden Hannyabal!"

At this moment, Hannyabal also walked toward Domino, looked down at Karl and Smoker, and said: "Domino, why are you here? Where is that guy Magellan? Is he in the bathroom again?"

"Hmph! Neglecting his duties every single day; he is truly an incompetent Warden! He can't even receive guests when they arrive."

"If you ask me, this Warden position should be mine."

After finishing, Hannyabal seemed to realize something, quickly covered his mouth, looked at Karl and Smoker, and whispered: "Oops, I accidentally revealed my ambition again!"

Looking at the shirtless man in front of him who resembled a pharaoh, Karl couldn't help but smile slightly: "Hello, Vice Warden Hannyabal, I am Rear Admiral Karl of the Headquarters."

"Hello, hello, call me Warden..." Domino immediately said: "Vice Warden!"

Hannyabal glared fiercely at Domino: "Hmph! I will be the Warden sooner or later!"

"Hmph! No matter how unbearable Warden Magellan is, his strength is far greater than yours. Want to be Warden? Come back when you've gotten stronger!"

Hannyabal's face immediately collapsed, revealing an expression Move Move Like a resentful woman.

Damn it! He couldn't refute it; his strength was indeed not as great as Magellan's! Otherwise, he would have become the Warden long ago!

Karl quickly said: "Um, Vice Warden Hannyabal, how many of the prisoners I requested have been escorted so far?"

"Ah! This, they are already being escorted. It will take some time; after all, we still have to screen for prisoners in good health."

Karl nodded to show his understanding: "Then I'll trouble you, Vice Warden Hannyabal. Since that's the case, we won't disturb your work."

"Domino, take us to the next level to have a look!"

"Mm-hmm."

The third underground level, Starvation Hell.

Starting from this level, the environment became somewhat surreal; the air was both scorching and dry.

The criminals imprisoned on this level were all vicious offenders with bounties exceeding 50 million. By all logic, their physiques should far exceed those of the first and second levels, but their condition...

Their faces were haggard, their lips cracked, and every one of them was skin and bones.

A prisoner in a cell who was still breathing saw Karl's group and said weakly: "I beg you, give me some water! Give me... some water!"

Domino ignored his request directly and turned to Karl: "Don't pay attention to him. The reason this level is called Starvation Hell is because they are deprived of water and food. They are only given a tiny bit of food and water every half month."

"This is to achieve the purpose of torturing them."

Karl nodded: "Hmm~ It saves resources and steadily eliminates a batch of weak-bodied criminals, ensuring the vacancy rate of the cells. Truly a fine method!"

Domino looked at Karl with surprise; he was an expert!

"Exactly, that's what the first Warden thought. And under these harsh conditions, the criminals don't have the energy to think about escaping at all. We don't even need to guard this place much."

"Makes sense!"

In the past, Karl had always advocated killing pirates, because he always felt that instead of sending them to Impel Down to waste resources, it was better to execute them on the spot and let them embrace nature.

But now...

Hmm, that's decided. In the future, if criminals with bounties over 50 million can be spared, he won't kill them. Sending them to Impel Down to experience free housing seems not bad either.

Smoker wiped the sweat from his head and said speechlessly: "Let's go! It's too hot here; my clothes are soaked with sweat!"

Smoker, who hadn't stayed long, was already drenched in sweat. Compared to Karl, who didn't have a single drop of sweat, he looked absolutely miserable.

"Oh! Almost forgot!"

Karl condensed two balls of Holy Light and merged them into Domino and Smoker's bodies. The two immediately felt much lighter, and a wave of coolness rushed straight to their heads.

That's right, the healing effect of Holy Light was also effective in high-temperature environments; the effect was similar to an enhanced version of cooling oil.

"You guy, no wonder you aren't sweating at all!" "Is this Rear Admiral Karl's ability? Ooh~ so comfortable!"

"Hahahaha, sorry, sorry. Let's go! There doesn't seem to be much to see here; let's go to the next level!"

The fourth level, Blazing Hell.

Warden Magellan's office was right here. Well, it would be more accurate to call it his private restroom.

Besides that, there was a kitchen and a granary here; the entire supply for Impel Down was stored here.

Just after walking out of the elevator and arriving near the blood pool, a scorching aura hit them. This place was Move Move Like a giant iron pot, with a boiling blood pool and a sea of fire.

Karl looked at the steam constantly rising and immediately understood where the dry climate of the third level came from.

"The temperature inside is relatively high; you need to wear a special protective suit to remain unaffected. Rear Admiral Karl, do you want to go in and take a look?"

"No, too much trouble."

Karl was here for sightseeing, not to suffer. Seeing that these prisoners were being well taken care of, he was relieved.

"By the way, this is Warden Magellan's office, but right now, he should be handling personal matters, so we'd better not go in."

Smoker nodded quickly. The chain of farts he experienced when he first met Magellan still gave him lingering fears. Fortunately, he was wearing a gas mask, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Also true. Then let's go directly to the fifth underground level to have a look!"

"Wait a moment!"

Karl looked back; the person speaking was Magellan, who had just walked out of his office.

"Warden Magellan! Why did you come out? Rear Admiral Karl, put on your gas mask quickly!"

Smoker: You're amazing, you're noble!
