Summary:
In the land of New Kama, level 5.5, Luffy had spent the last half hour devouring several days’ worth of food. Mr. 2 just stares in shock as Ivankov comments on Luffy’s will to live. When Luffy finally finishes, he emerges with an emaciated body except for his waist. He then digests the food and returns his body to its normal appearance, shocking the newkam. Then they rejoice over his miraculous recovery from Magellan’s poisons. Mr. 2 passes out from extreme exhaustion and Ivankov explains how Mr. 2 cheered for Luffy for hours, to which Luffy thanks Mr. 2.
Inazuma returns Luffy’s hat and vest and advises him to rest for a few more days, but Luffy still insists on going further, down to level 6, according to his Vivre card. Luffy asks Ivankov if he was going to escape Impel Down because Mr. 2 went down to Level 5 to eliminate the former Queen of Okamas. Ivankov replies that the situation in the world was too furious and that one man other than Whitebeard and the Seven Warlords of the Sea should have responded. The man was a countryman and his name is Monkey D. Dragon, to which Luffy nonchalantly replies that Dragon is his father. Ivankov starts to mention that he will return to world affairs once Dragon mobilizes the revolutionary army, but then he processes what Luffy said, which completely stumps him. Ivankov finds it hard to believe that Dragon had a son. Luffy says he shouldn’t have told anyone and should have kept it a secret. However, Ivankov seems to believe this and ponders the current situation and how it all fits together: Luffy’s supernova status and his incredible will. When Ivankov asks Luffy where he is from, Luffy replies with East Blue. Ivankov then recalls the time he caught Dragon staring towards the Eastern Blue and confronted him about it, and Dragon ordered him to stay away from it.
Ivankov orders Inazuma to find out the departure time for Ace, saying that he will accompany Luffy to Level 6 Impel Down. Ivankov quickly tells Luffy that he is one of Dragon’s allies, the leader of the revolutionary army, which is why he was imprisoned. Ivankov summons those willing to join them and Luffy shouts that he will save Ace, but falls. Knowing that Luffy wouldn’t care about the consequences, Ivankov uses Emporio Tension Hormones to give Luffy an all-day adrenaline rush.
On the next level of the prison, Hannyabal is looking at pictures of Mr. 2, Mr. 3, and Buggy. All three were confirmed to have entered level 5 and are believed to have been eaten by wolves.
Inside the elevator to level 6, Domino states that Magellan is late and tells him to control his diarrhea in the future. Domino also reveals that Ace is to be transferred at the main entrance to the Marines at 9:00.
At the main entrance, Vice Admiral Onigumo orders his subordinates not to let their guards down and reveals that the convoy transferring Ace is to have five Marine warships and five Vice Admirals.
Ivankov, Inazuma, and Luffy race through the wolf’s lair on level 5, smashing through the wolves. The prisoners on the level are amazed that the “demonized” Ivankov has returned. In the monitoring room, the guards notice the trio entering the passage between levels 5 and 6 and identify all three. Hannyabal orders to activate the traps and alert Magellen and all the monitoring rooms.
However, Magellan and Domino are already at level 6 and are preparing to transport Ace.
