One Piece The Combining Prison IMPEL DOWN

Impel Down

Official site

*Special thanks for RR for picking this up and sending it to my doorstep amidst the risk of having the car dying on her.

The main backdrop of the Impel Down arc, which continues from Kuma sending all the strawhats into different directions and Luffy having an adventure of his own in Amazon Lily whilst charming Boa Hancock, the ruler of Amazon Lily.

Impel Down is the World Government's maximum security prison, housing pirates and criminals with huge bounties. Located in the middle of Calm Belt surrounded by swarms of sea kings' nests, it is almost impossible to reach by normal means, thus gaining its reputation of The Great Jail, as no one is able to break in, nor out (short of Shiki breaking out 20 years ago and Luffy, who later brought about the downfall of Impel Down)

Marine ship surrounding Impel Down (I only have ONE ship..)

Good job for including the ocean detail at the back of the tower, which most probably wun see much exposure time, as Impel Down is not a tower on land but a tower of hell into the depths of the sea.


Impel Down Entrance - Shichibukai Boa Hancock and Vice Warden Hannyabal

This is where Boa smuggled Luffy till, by accepting the World Government's request to standby for Ace's execution, and making a special request to visit Ace before carrying out her duties.


Level 1 Crimson Hell & Level 2 Wild Beast Hell - Post 3rd Gear Luffy and Buggy

The blood-laced bladed red trees on the upper part couldnt be seen clearly in the pic but that's Level 1. Level 2 has Basilisk althou Spinx is missing (GO-MEN!!!). Little ppl featured are Post 3rd Gear Mini Luffy and Buggy, but I would rather they have Mr 3 there since Luffy is already featured at Level 4.


Level 3 Starvation Hell & Level 4 Blazing Hell - Chief Warden Magellan and Luffy


Level 5 Freezing Hell & Level 5.5 New Kama Land - Bon Kurei and Emporio Ivankov

Level 5.5 is a secret area dug long ago by a former prisoner with tunneling abilities. Currently ruled by Emporio Ivankov, New Kama Land is a paradise within hell, where prisoners, okama-ed or not, party all the time.


Level 6 Eternal Hell - Former Shichibukai Crocodile and Shichibukai Jimbei

As everyone says, Ace is missing. Big big boo boo.

And since this whole tower is about 30 cm tall and couldn't fit into the One Piece sections on the bookshelf, I have started the One Piece attack on the little plot of Gundam Seed territory in the cupboard above my table.. WAHAHA~
