Leroy closed the entrance to the passage behind the other two, a simple slide and push back into place. On the other side of the shaft Bonney begins to descend the well trodden ladder deeper into the hideaway.
Leroy Followed behind Quinn. Trying his best ot not look forward as she was on her knees crawling through the vent. But- of course. She just had to come to a stop…Causing him to slam into her rear "For fuc-" He swore before sticking his hand out and pushing "Get a move on!" He said with clenched teeth all too comedically
"Hey! No pushy!" She spat back "Will you two shut up and just get down her!" Bonney said from bellow the end of the ladder.
The room that it lead to was somewhat spacious. It was squared off and looked to be an old maintenance or utility room. A gas lamp at the corner was twisted on by the hands of Bonney exposing the cobweb ridden, dust covered, and musty area. There were some pipes going to and from the walls, small devices that looked like old cast iron furnaces, and other smaller tunnels that were connected to it.
"Kaff Kaff!" The Clown wiped in front of his face. The dust moving around as he did "Red Shit. Close that." Bonney said casually. Leroy turned to where they'd come from to see another hatch that the Clown had opened prior. It slid easily, but with a whine of steel and metal against the ground, back into place
"Okay. So. Now what?" Leroy asked as he returned his gaze to his first enemy
"Now. We need to take a few more paths through these down to the next level. Theres few hundred meters directly down between here and the Next Section Proper. Asphodel was only a secondary holding facility, intermission if you will between Bliss and Libido."
"So. Wait. What are the levels in total?" Red Sash asked as he watched Quinn sit down, and then rip her pant legs off, to give her self short shorts. "Well I'm glad you asked." Steady said and he brough his extended thumb and point up to his chin in a look of both sass and arrogance.
"Two Years ago I would only be able to recall the Info publicly available. But you make your way around the other levels secretly and eventually you find out!"
He puts his hands on his hips and walks over to a wall covered in dust. And begins to draw a basic outline of the prison "The Prison is sectioned into 10 Main Levels. 9 Floating, 10 with the bottom. There was a rumor for a long time that even below that is a single prison cell that held 'The Man in The Iron Mask' Maybe it had some truth. I don't give a fuck really"
"The First Level, was the Entrance. You must've been lucky. You're still in your clothes. But that first processing is meant to break you mentally before you go in. Strip search, humiliation the likes."
"Surface has the Amedaus Asylum where 'Rehab' happens. But its a bunch of horse shit. Theres barracks, other facilities. But none hold prisoners."
"First Level Proper is Bliss. Its properly at one point known as Elis. You already saw that didn't you? I saw you come down from the shaft after all. Its for temporary holding. Or as temporary as anything can be in this prison."
"Oh the Punishment there, those chains. Its called 'Jahannam'"
"Then theres Asphodel. The Neutral Place. Punishment by the mundane. Or so called 'Hutama'"
"Second Level, Is Luxuria. If you were Lustful in crimes or Obsesive or what ever. Thats where you go. Notice yet how all the Levels aren't about the crime alone but the person? Yeah. Its real fucked up. I was there once…" He said muttering to himself "Luckily I got to the next level quickly. Deepest I've been is the Pit."
"The Pit?" Leroy asked. "Paitence Mother fucker. I'll get there."
"What that Punishment called?" Quinn said shooting her hand up, very bubbly so
"Its called 'Maharaurava' something about exploiting whats been offered or something."
"After Lust, is Phelegthon. Hot ass temp level. A punishment place. The "Operation" here is called 'Kumbhipaka'"
"The Third is Gula. Or Gluttony. Its all based around the Idea of Starving or Force feeding people. Anything really. Over indulgence. When you first come, they determine your crimes. And put you where ever matches your Personality. You could have only committed grand theft nautical, and be sent to the Pit depending on who you are. Gulas Op is known as 'Odef'"
He turned and faced Leroy "This place ain't got nothing about corrections. If you ended up here. It's decided that the best you can be used for is either put to work or tortured for what you are."
Steady turned back and continued to draw and write in the dust
"After Gula is Erebus. A dark level where Guards beat you. Another "Punishment" level. If one don't work, before you get moved, your put in on of these places as a "Transitional" stage. Erebuses Op is called 'Tamisra'"
"Fourth Level is Avaricia. Or Greed. This is where the Crime and Punishment actually meet. If you stole over at least 500,000,000 Berry. Here you're given that amount physically. And are forced to carry it. The entire place looks like a vault. Steel walls, Piles of Coin, and Diamond in the Wall. One of the torture methods here is called Laza. Where they pour molten precious metal on you."
"Then, instead of intermediary level, or addendum section like Asphodel, this one is Kinda Both. It Can be Acessed by two Levels. Fourth and Fifth."
"Litboa is the level refers to be drowned. And thats what Oceanus is all about. It acts almost like a basin in a ship. Allowing to be flooded and water redirected into this section if need. But it always has water. People are Waterboarded on Floating Platforms, Hanging Platforms constantly dip Devil Fruit Users into the water before pulling them back. Others are put in helmets and strapped to blocks and allowed to sink. And for the worst…They're thrown out for the sea kings…"
"The Fifth Level, Technically…Its two? But one? Okay. So its whole thing is Called 'Stagcon' for once it's not a language word. But is a abbreviated to mean 'Conflict and Stagnation'. Its a huge hunting ground. Thick Trees. And these things Called Lozzards and Terrar are in their. Actively Hunting and going through-"
"Shit! Ugh. I didn't even mention the fucking monsters on the other. Okay so, 2nd has the Vision Shit, 4th has Yaksha, these big monkey things? They're the ones that put cash on you and pour on you. 5th has the Lozzards and Terrar, Oceanus has Sea Beast and Baby Sea Kings, Then There's the Vermin on the Gluttony level, 7th has well…Uh Minotaurs, and other hybrid creatures, Then 6th has people, 8th has Elementals, and Ninth has Banshe flesh beasts that spew propaganda…"
"OKAY!" Leroy said suddenly "Im sure you love talking but hurry up!"
"Don't tell me to hurry jack ass! If we wanna survive we gotta know it all!"
"Fuck me. Just keep going. Level 6 come on!"
"Okay Fuck! Fuck me Fine!" He went back "The Fifth Level is a hunting grown. Its called Ira. Wrath and Sloth. Forces those that are quick to be slow, and those that are slow to be quick. Monsters do that."
"Sixth Level, Violentia. Violence. This!!! Is the Pit!!" He smacks the wall "The most Violent are sent to the pit, its op name by the way, and are forced to fight until they cool off or fucking die! Its entertainment. Coridors of useless cells and areas and rings all being able to be seen from above by the guards along with cameras. Not the most strong. But most Violent!"
"7th! Haereses. Heresy! None Believers and the like of the World Government and conspirators against the celestial dragons!"
"8th! Fraus! Fraud! Frauds are put here! In any form! Forced to work in the factory Lines!"
"9th! Judecca! Deepest of the main place. For marine and government Traitors!"
"10th! Cocytus. A Frozen Waste Land Bellow the Prison. And the only entrance into the Wardens office!"
"And the Final section of the floating Styx, is the Warden Office. Warden Dante. Its also where Vice Warden Virgil, and Canto can be found."
Leroy leaned back and sighed "Phew…And the 10th is where Azar is?"
"No! You fucking idiot!" He threw a piece of debris. "Thats in the FINAL level. The 12th Circle. The Void. The Prison of the Prison! Tarturus. Anyone to be erased from history are put there. And thats! Where he is. How do I know. I just do fuckass!" He threw another piece of debris.
"Grrrr…If you throw another piece of rock at me I'm putting my hand up your ass and using you as a puppet!"
