## One Piece Chapter 525, pages 11-12: The Sea Floor Prison Impel Down - Chapter: 525 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Boa Hancock, Vice Admiral Momonga, Marine crew, Impel Down guards, Monkey D. Luffy, Impel Down vice chief, Impel Down staff, Portgas D. Ace ### Summary Page 11: The Calm Belt front entrance of Impel Down opens before the Marine ships, a huge fortified gate surrounded by towers, flags, and anchored warships. Momonga receives praise: "Well done, Vice Admiral Momonga!!!" The Marines on deck erupt in hearts and worship as Hancock appears, saying, "That's the pirate empress...!! She's truly the greatest beauty in the world!" and asking how many millions of volts her beauty power is. They insist there is nothing about her that is not beautiful. The enormous fortress fills the page behind their infatuation, making the contrast sharp: the world's most secure prison opens under military protocol, while its guards and sailors can barely function around Hancock's beauty. Page 12: Hancock is irritated by the chattering Marines and wonders what all the noise is. An official asks whether she cares if they are turned to stone, while another begs her not to. The staff confirms her condition: she wanted to see the central figure in the incident, Portgas D. Ace. The vice chief reminds her that even pirates, including Shichibukai, are normally forbidden to enter, and if she wishes to go in she must wear a pair of Kairoseki handcuffs. She will also be given a thorough body search so they can make sure she is not planning to free any prisoners. Hancock silently warns Luffy that they will be searching her soon. Hidden in her clothing, Luffy thinks, "Go on ahead!! I'll take care of it!!" and Hancock agrees: "Very well...!!"
