## One Piece Chapter 540, pages 4-6: Level 6, Infinite Hell - Chapter: 540 - Pages: 4-6 - Characters: Luffy, Emporio Ivankov, Inazuma, Jimbei, Portgas D. Ace, Level 6 prisoners, Impel Down guards ### Summary Page 4: The Level 6 prisoners confirm Luffy's identity and shout after him. One asks, "Are you Strawhat Luffy!?" and another urges him, "If you hurry, you can still make it!! Go!!!" Luffy is told that Ace was taken up the lift only a moment ago. He barely stops to answer, saying, "Got it!! Thanks!! I don't really know who you are, though!!" The lift gate is open, but the wheel is locked and the lift will not move. Ivankov says they cannot use it, but if they climb up, they might still make it somehow. The page turns the rescue from a search into a vertical chase. Page 5: As the group tries to follow the lift shaft, a trap slams down with a massive crash and someone yells, "Look out!!!" Ivankov concludes, "Of course... They won't let us get up that easily!! We can't use the lift! Our hands are tied!!" Luffy says they will take the stairs they used to get down, but another huge barrier closes in the hallway. The sound of the gates and bars locking off the route makes it clear that the prison is sealing the floor around them. They are no longer just racing Ace; they are being deliberately boxed into Infinite Hell. Page 6: The group finds the stairs blocked too. Someone yells, "Hey, they closed off the stairs!!!" Ivankov says the guards are trying to lock them in by closing the only two exits and that they need to break through the bars to get out. Then gas begins pouring into the floor with "moku moku" sounds. Inazuma sniffs and asks if it is poison gas, while the prisoners shout from their cells, "Hey, hey!! I don't know who you are, but don't bring your problems down on us!!!" Another voice screams, "Shut up!! Level 6!!!" The panic spreads from the escape team to the entire sealed prison floor.
