Chapter 358: Going Down With the Clown

Luffy and Naruto headed down following the trail of the Vivre Card. However they came across a large door that was clearly locked.

"Looks like it's a dead-end." Said Luffy.

"Is it still going down?" asked Naruto.

"It is…" said Luffy.

That was when they heard several guards.

Thy heard them talking about a prisoner with Devil Fruit Powers.

They hid form the guards who thankfully opened the doors and they snuck through the doors.

"Want to bet it's someone we know." Said Kyubi.

"What are the chances we met a random prisoner with a devil fruit before." Thought Naruto.

"Look… we both know how weird things are with you two…" said Kyubi, "Your luck is both good and bad… and something like that will trigger it…"

They continued to hide from the guards.

Though Kyubi couldn't help but to wonder how long it would take them to finally cause a ruckus.

"We're not going to cause a ruckus." Thought Naruto.

As they counited to run, they were stopped by a bunch of prisoners in a cell.

"Hey how did you get out there?" asked one of them.

"What do you mean out… we're already out." Said Luffy.

"What…' said one of the prisoners.

"We kind of broke in." laughed Naruto.

"Are you nuts?" asked one of the other prisoners.

"We're here to rescue Ace… do you know where he is?" asked Luffy.

"Fire fist Ace?" asked one of the prisoners, " I heard he got thrown in here. But he should be on level five. That's where they put everyone who's over 100 million."

"Level Five? What's what?" asked Luffy.

"Tell your brother that it's exactly what it sounds like and there are probably multiple levels of this prison." Said Kyubi.

Naruto sighed as the prisoners begged Luffy and Naruto to find the key and rescue everyone.

That was when they heard a noise.

"It's the Blu-Gori!" yelled one of the prisoners.

They turned and saw weird creatures that were blue chasing after a guy with Giant Axes.

"And there's that guy the guards were after." Muttered Kyubi.

"Run you idioms!" yelled one of the prisoners.

And of course they started to run away from the things with the guy that they were chasing even have the guy was chopped in half.

He was okay… due to the fact that it was Buggy.

""Straw Hat!" yelled Buggy, "And his brother!"

"Oh it's Buggy."

"Hey I go by Shadow Fox!" said Naruto.

"Now's not the time kit!" sighed Kyubi, "Called it by the way."

"So you two finally got caught?" asked Buggy.

"No…" muttered Naruto.

"We snuck in." said Luffy.

"Why would you sneak in?" asked Buggy.

"We have an older brother that we're trying to rescue…" said Naruto.

"You're idiots!" yelled Buggy.

"Well I promised Hancock that I wouldn't cause a ruckus and look what you dragged me into!" yelled Luffy.

"Well my sneaky Buggy Escape Plan was destroyed as well…" muttered Buggy.

"Who cares." Muttered Luffy.

That was when more of the creatures showed up and cut them off.

"Do we have to run away?" asked Luffy.

"If they catch us then they're torture us." Said Buggy ,"they are ruthless."

"Then they don't have to catch us!" said Naruto.

He sent over a bunch of clones to the ones behind them to fight.

"Oh yeah… you are a Clone User." muttered buggy.

"Well that's nice Kit… but what about the ones in front of us." Said Kyubi.

"Naruto we're in a hurry and we don't have much time… and we've already caused a ruckus." Said Luffy.

Both Luffy and Buggy joined in a truce to fight off the creatures.

And so Luffy and Naruto managed to beat the strange creatures much to Buggy's shock. Due to how the two had gotten stronger.

Especially since Buggy had such a hard time taking just one down.

"That's kind of sad…" said Kyubi, "I mean you two took out a bunch and he didn't even take out one…"

"What are these things?" asked Naruto.

"They're called Blue Gorilla but we called them Blu-Gori. Their sea marital artists." Said Buggy, "Don't' let your guards down… they're still 7 left."

"You mean these 7?" asked Naruto.

"You already beat them?" asked Buggy.

"You know what begun… point out that you guys found out about his captain and rub to in his face about this." Said Kyubi.

"So are you two trying to save?" asked Buggy as he stole one of their axes.

Of course they explained it was Ace.

"You're trying to save ACE"! yelled Buggy in shock.

Then Buggy realized what just happened and shushed the two.

"You're the ones who shouted…" muttered both Luffy and Naruto.

"So you know Ace?" asked Luffy.

"We met not too long ago. We became drinking buddies." Said Buggy, "I heard he got captured. But I didn't think the marines would cause a problem with White Beard."

"He should be in level five right?" asked Luffy.

"Whatever… just do whatever you want. I'm not going down there. That's suicide." Said Buggy.

He began to leave.

"Anyways I'm out of here." Said Buggy.

"Good luck with all those warships." Said Luffy.

Buggy scowled.

"They must be exacting Whitebeard to show up." Muttered Buggy, "I picked a bad time to try to escape… and…"

That was when Bugg stared Luffy… or rather that armband that Luffy was wearing.

The one he got from Thriller Bark and Nami let him keep.

"Straw Hat! Wait!" yelled Buggy.

That was hewn the guards found them.

They began to run away but Buggy was attached to Luffy's arm.

"Straw Hat wait! That arm band! I really like it!" yelled Buggy.

"What gives! Nami gave this to me!" yelled Luffy.

"And she never gives away things from her treasure!" yelled Naruto.

"I'll tell you how to get to Ace!" said Buggy.

"Really?" asked Luffy.

"If you give me that arm band I'll help you as much as I can." Said Buggy.

"You bet! It's a deal!" said Luffy.

"Kit… ask what's so special about the arm band…" said Kyubi.

Naruto knew this was one those things that needed to be asked so he did it.

But he had to wait for a bit because he had a plan to evade.

Which was have Luffy carry his feet as he flew.

"I'll take you to the entrance to Level 2" said Buggy.

"But we want to go to Level 5." Said Luffy.

Buggy explained how it worked. That were 5 known levels and a 6th that was a rumor for those that were so terrible that needed to be earned form history.

"Okay… that's all good why do you want Luffy's arm band." Said Naruto.

"Because it's a treasure marker for Captain John's treasure!" admitted Buggy.

"Oh okay…" said Naruto.

"So this armband is a treasure map." Said Luffy.

"Oh come on!" yelled Buggy, "Looks like I have to take it by force"!

"Okay! Take it then!" said Luffy.

"What"! yelled Buggy in shock.

"What seriously? Are you an idiom?" asked Naruto, "Some things are more important than treasure… and our brother is one of those things."

"He's right!" said Luffy taking it off and ready to hand it to Buggy.

"He's about to abandon you…" said Kyubi.

Luffy handed the armband to Buggy.

But he wasn't paying attention and hit a wall hard… like break through it hard.

"Is that a short cut." Said Luffy, "Let me try."

Luffy busted through the wall.

"Okay! Either these are walls are super weak or Luffy's just that strong…" said Kyubi, "And honestly I don't want to know which is scarier!"

They burst through the walls.

They crashed through shocking various guards until they reached the main room of Level 1.

Which was room filled with plants that was colored red.

"That place is coated in blood." Said Kyubi.

"What?" asked Naruto.

"Why is it red?" asked Luffy.

Buggy explained, that it was a room filled with needles that the prisoners would get cutup from this room.

"This place is like hell." Muttered Luffy looking at the various prisoners writhing in pain.

"Throw my feet down… also one of you need to either get off me I can carry only one of you like this!" yelled Buggy.

That was when Naruto transformed into a small fox again.

"What?" asked Buggy.

"I can shapeshift." Said Naruto.

"Okay that's not weird at all." Muttered Buggy.

Thanks to the fact he was immune to sharp thing Buggy was able to use his feet to run and he led the m to large hole.

"This will take you down." Said Buggy.

"Seriously?" asked Naruto.

"And escape from Hell?" asked Luffy.

"But that's because it leads to Level 2… which is an even worse hell." Said Buggy.

"No one would want to go down there if it's worse." Said Kyubi.

"Yeah… that makes sense." Thought Naruto.

"So we just have to jump down?" asked Luffy.

"Yeah… but…" said Buggy.

"Come on let's go!" said Naruto .

"Right!" said Luffy.

Both of them jumped down into the large hole.

Buggy would have just left them but… a Blu-Gori hit him with an axe in just a right way that he was sent to Level 2 as well…

And so the three of them counited their journey through Impel Down…

Unaware of what was going to be down there…

Next Time: They end up on Level two... a hell that's filled with giant monster that will glad eat them... will they be able to get through it? Find out next time!
