## One Piece Chapter 525, pages 9-10: The Sea Floor Prison Impel Down - Chapter: 525 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Vice Admiral Momonga, Marine crew, Impel Down guards, Impel Down prisoners, Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Portgas D. Ace ### Summary Page 9: The prison imagery continues through monstrous guards, barred rooms, chains, and huge creatures prowling the facility. The soundscape is full of clanging metal, heavy movement, and echoing cries. Finally the Marine ship reaches the front of Impel Down, and a report calls out, "Vice Admiral Momonga!! We've arrived at Impel Down!!!" Narration says it has been four and a half days since the ship departed from Amazon Lily. The ship sits beneath the enormous entrance, dwarfed by the prison's central gate and the surrounding sea. The page completes the journey that began with Luffy leaving Amazon Lily and confirms that he has reached the one place from which pirates almost never return. Page 10: At the front entrance, Momonga notes that they were slowed a bit by head winds but says there is no matter and orders everyone to hurry: "Get Hancock out here!!" Luffy, still hidden, hears someone call, "Lady Hancock!! We've arrived..." and realizes where they are. He sees the mass of battleships and says there are even more than the Buster Call had. Hancock explains that this is the most dangerous place in the world right now, so of course the Marines have come out in battle formation. Luffy asks, "So this is where Ace is...?" Hancock says Ace is probably far beneath the surface and tells him to quickly get into her clothes. The page shifts from the journey to the infiltration itself, with Luffy's fear and resolve both visible.
