Heading to the Fourth Underground Level
Shortly after the elevator started moving, Hancock said, "We're almost at the basement level!"
Help! Someone please save us!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
When the elevator doors faced the basement level, screams of agony filled the air.
With a quick glance, everyone soon saw the Jailer whipping the prisoners on this floor!
Faced with this tragic scene, Rebecca closed her eyes, feeling a pang of pity.
She said, trembling, "Is this how we have to treat criminals? Isn't this a bit too cruel?"
Domino laughed and said to Rebecca, "Little sister, you're joking. The prisoners here are the least guilty, and the punishment you're seeing is the lightest!"
Rebecca was startled by this statement. She said, "This is the lightest?"
Hancock said, "That's right, the punishment is indeed the lightest!"
He then pointed outside and said, "This is the first basement level of Impel Down, Level 1, the Level 1 Crimson Lotus Layer."
Kyros asked, "Level 1 Crimson Lotus Layer? What is a red lotus?"
Hancock glanced in Haku's direction, unsure whether he should tell her what Crimson Lotus was.
Haku knew the other person couldn't say too much because of etiquette, but he didn't have that many taboos!
Haku said, "Outside the cells on the first basement level, there's a large area that looks like a forest. The trees are 'Sword Tree' with leaves as sharp as blades, and the grass is 'Needle Grass' that can pierce the human body like needles. Those are the Crimson Lotus!"
The Prisoners would run back and forth, chased by poisonous spiders and Jailer, their blood flowing freely as they were cut by the leaves and grass, suffering endless torment. Due to the constant staining of blood over the years, the forest turned red! Hence, it was also known as the 'Crimson Lotus Hell'.
Hancock scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect Admiral Haku this place!"
Haku said, "Since I am Admiral, I do know more information than others!"
Rebecca listened to Haku's words in shock; her worldview was being constantly challenged!
Haku glanced at Rebecca, then shook her head.
Although Rebecca is much more mature than her peers, she is still young and has a lot of kindness in her heart.
Perhaps he needed to show Rebecca the cruelty of the Pirates world more! That's what Haku thought honestly!
Not long after, Haku heard a series of roars in her ears.
Hancock introduced, "Next is the second underground level, Level 2, the Level 2 Beast Hell! It's also known as 'Beast Hell'."
Rebecca, having recovered, asked curiously, "The Beast Layer? Is this layer full of ferocious beasts?"
Hancock glanced at Haku; he knew that even if he didn't explain, Haku would tell him!
However, Hancock himself acted as the narrator, saying, "The Beast Hell houses all sorts of ferocious beasts and monsters, including Basilisk, Manticore, and scorpions. The boss is the Sphinx. The Prisoners on this floor know they will eventually become food for these beasts, so they don't even have the strength to be afraid."
Just then, a light appeared at the elevator entrance. What came into everyone's view was a lion with one long horn on one side and a short horn on the other.
It was lying at the entrance of the elevator, watching the people slowly descend!
It suddenly stared intently at Rebecca and said, "Pink panties!"
"Ah!"
Rebecca suddenly screamed, clutching her lower body and backing away, her face flushed with embarrassment!
Seeing Rebecca's reaction, Haku's expression turned strange: Could it be...? It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
He immediately burst into laughter!
It! It! It!
Rebecca blushed and covered her cheeks, her voice even stuttering slightly!
Although Kyros could be quite taciturn at times, at this moment he silently stood in front of him, shielding Rebecca behind him!
After Haku finished laughing, Domino said with a smile, "Little sister, don't mind it. That lion-like guy is called Marticora, and his catchphrase is 'all kinds of underwear!' So..."
Having said that, she wisely shut her mouth!
At this moment, Kyros was already glaring at everyone in the elevator with hostility for the sake of his daughter!
Haku quickly suppressed her smile. Ever since Kyros returned to human form, he seemed to be developing into a doting father!
He didn't want to provoke him at this time!
Shortly after the elevator began its descent, waves of heat emanated from below, radiating towards the group.
Hancock then spoke up at the opportune moment, "Next is the third level, Level 3, the Level 3 Hunger Layer! Also known as 'Hunger Hell'!"
"The intense heat rising from the Blazing Hell made this level unbearably hot, and coupled with the torture of being deprived of food and water, the prisoners were already in a state of near death."
As the elevator doors faced the entrance to the third floor, a scorching world unfolded before everyone's eyes, the entire floor enveloped in waves of heat.
The prisoners held here were all emaciated; they lay on the ground, panting heavily.
Some people had even died. Their bodies had been roasted into jerky by the arid environment!
Rebecca looked at the corpses in some of the cells, and it suddenly occurred to her that the prisoners here were on a hunger and thirst strike. So, how could they possibly survive?
Rebecca's pupils dilated, and she covered her mouth. She rolled backward, unable to bear looking at the corpse inside!
Seeing Rebecca's reaction, Domino understood what was wrong. So, she turned to Rebecca and comforted her.
Kyros and Haku also clearly noticed the situation on this level, but given their temperaments, no matter how bad the situation was, it wouldn't affect them!
Hancock looked at the road ahead and said, "Most of the prisoners here have committed heinous Criminals, the most heinous of all!"
Haku looked around and said, "This place is definitely much harsher than the previous two floors!"
Hancock replied, "Of course, after all, most of the Criminals held here have committed heinous crimes. And this is the worst floor in Impel Down!"
As they continued deeper into Impel Down, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive!
When they arrived at the fourth floor, the atmosphere had become extremely oppressive! This floor held some vicious Pirates and extremely dangerous Criminals!
There are more Jailer here than on the third floor, and there are also dedicated guards patrolling!
Moreover, compared to the Level 3 Hunger Layer, the temperature of this fourth layer is clearly much higher!
