## One Piece Chapter 523, pages 17-19: Hell - Chapter: 523 - Pages: 17-19 - Characters: Monkey D. Garp, Portgas D. Ace, Impel Down guards, Nami, Weatheria scientist, Weatheria residents ### Summary Page 17: The setting moves to the "Great Prison Impel Down." Guards escort Vice Admiral Garp inside and tell him, "This is it, Vice Admiral Garp..." Garp answers, "Be careful," and another voice responds, "Yeah." Deep within the prison, Portgas D. Ace is chained to the wall, beaten and exhausted. His wrists and arms are restrained high, his body slumps, and the darkness around him makes the cell feel like the true hell named by the chapter. Garp looks at him and says, "Man, you look terrible..." then asks with rough affection, "You still breathing?" Ace, barely able to respond, recognizes him and says, "Gramps..." The page brings Garp face-to-face with the grandson the Government intends to execute. Page 18: The chapter turns back the clock to the aftermath of Kuma scattering the Straw Hats. Narration says that on a certain island there is a giant paw print in the ground, then the scene reveals a small sky island and an old weather scientist hovering near Nami. Voices call, "Hey hey... hey hey hey..." and address her as the girl who came flying from the sky. Nami sits crossly while the scientist asks whether she has calmed down and will not go crazy anymore. He tries to cheer her up with a demonstration: "Now presenting... These tightly tied wind knots! If you undo one..." The strange island's people study weather, and the page begins Nami's separate mini-story after the crew's forced separation. Page 19: The Weatheria scientist demonstrates the wind knots. When one knot is undone, it brings a gentle breeze; when a second is undone, it brings a strong wind; and when a third is undone, it creates a squall. Nami and the old man are blasted by the gusts, crying "Wah!" and "Kyaa!!" The scientist protests that he thought it would cheer her up, while Nami yells, "What are you doing!!?" He thanks her anyway and immediately changes the subject, asking where he is and saying he wants to go home. The old man explains that this is a small sky island called Weatheria, a country where they study the weather. Nami is stunned by the answer and repeats, "A... sky island!?"
