## One Piece Chapter 531, pages 11-12: Level 3, Starvation Hell - Chapter: 531 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Boa Hancock, Portgas D. Ace, Jimbei, Magellan, Hannibal, Monkey D. Luffy, Impel Down guards ### Summary Page 11: Hancock tells Ace, "I have no reason to lie..." and adds softly that Luffy was worried Ace would be mad at him. She walks away with Magellan and the prison staff while Ace processes the message in shock. Magellan asks what she said, and Hancock claims, "I don't know... I was super running away from you, chief warden..." Jimbei asks Ace what the woman said. Ace answers that his brother is here. Jimbei immediately understands and asks whether he means the one Ace is always talking about, "the Strawhat kid," calling him reckless. The page is the emotional pivot of the chapter: Ace learns that Luffy has infiltrated Impel Down for him, and Jimbei sees how far Luffy will go for family. Page 12: Back on Level 3, Starvation Hell, Luffy runs alone through the hot stone corridors, panting heavily. He asks himself when he started going up because he wants to go down, not away from Ace. The heat is so intense that he groans, "It's so hot..." and adds that he is hungry. Guards spot him through a scope and report, "He's entered Block C." Luffy says "Hi" before realizing he has been seen. A squad rushes him from the stairs, and a net trap snaps toward him, but he throws himself aside with a startled "Uwah!!" The page shows how disoriented he has become in the labyrinth: even while evading traps, he is accidentally moving in the wrong direction.
