Chapter 2: Awakening
Drip,drip,drip…
In the hidden level seven of impel down, drops of water dropped from the ceiling and fell on the floor. At this moment, a bare-chested teenager was hanged up by chains. Although this teenager was slightly thin, there seemed to be an endless amount of power in seemingly ordinary muscles making the naval soldiers around watch him for a while.
At this moment, the teenager's head was slightly lowered causing his hair to droop slightly covering is eyes. With a smile on his face he looks extremely peaceful.
Clank, clank…
Suddenly the silence was broken by sounds of chains colliding, All the soldiers were stunned. They quickly turned and looked at the teenager warily.
For the first time they have heard sounds coming from his cell!
"What happened? Did he wake up?"
"How could it be? He hasn't moved for twenty-two years."
" shut up and pay attention to him."
All of the soldiers became quiet and looked at the teenager with a dignified gaze. In their eyes there was a hint of fear that slowly flashed. Obviously, the teenager who is sleeping is extremely terrifying to them. And the animals there also looked at the cell in fear…
Just a little bit of noise actually caused the guards to tremble. From this we can see how scary this boy is. To put it in context, the people who are eligible to guard this hidden level must at least be lieutenant level. The soldiers who have reached this level have a certain amount of strength to give them confidence. Even if they face level six of Impel down they will show no fear. However, a teenager chained up is enough to scare them. How Ridiculous!
The Navies looked at the teenager with a dignified gaze but upon realizing that he was still in a deep sleep their hearts was relieved a little but they never relaxed their alertness. Moments later when there seemed to be no ore movements they let out sighs of relief and continued to stand guard. As they relaxed, they felt and indescribable sense of fatigue wash over them. Unknowingly their backs have been soaked with sweat. And the beasts are so stunned that they are lying on the ground. They almost seemed to be scared to death by tis teenager!
"That really scared me. I thought he was going to wake up."
"Same. We guard this place every day and it's scarier than fighting in the frontlines. Maybe one day we'll be scared to death."
"Oh time flies by really fast. Twenty-two years without a single sound."
The Navy soldiers turned and sighed. If they had a choice here would rather fight on the frontlines than watch this boy everyday…
Because this boy is really too strange and terrifying….
Half a day later. Unconsciously the red sun in the sky has completely gone down. A silvery crescent moon is like a sharp machete as it emerges without waning. Around it there seems to be many white stars. It is a very beautiful sight.
There seems to be a big event happening tonight.
The Navy Soldiers who had stood guard were happy because they finally ended theirs days' work. At the same time a group of different soldiers replaced the ones who just left. The work for these new navies have just begun…
"Oh, Wake up and come here, this work is really terrible."
"As a Navy soldier we have no choice."
"How did Impel down get such a scary teenager."
"Impel down…?" Just as the Navies complained, a whisper came out of the teenager in the cell. His eyes quietly opened.
This scary teenager has woken up.
