Summary:
Outside the entrance to level three, Hannyabal stands over the defeated Buggy and Mr. 3, saying that he would have let them through to charge Magellan if the dead hadn’t attacked him. On the bridge on level four, Mr. 2 fights his way through the guards and apologizes to Luffy for leaving him with Magellan. Magellan berates Luffy for thinking his attack would have any effect on him while commenting on the pain Luffy is in from the poison. Despite his anguish, Luffy attacks again, but his attack has little effect. Magellan attacks with his Hydra, but Luffy dodges and tries again, only to be knocked back again. Using a cloud of poison, Magellan disables Luffy’s senses and nervous system.
At level six, Ace asks about the situation upstairs, but is denied. Luffy tries to hit Magellan, but the poison prevents him from hitting the warden. Magellan comments on his mental strength, then defeats him with a final attack and orders the guards to take him to level five for temporary storage as Luffy will die in 24 hours, unable to save Ace.
On the fifth level, the prisoners notice Luffy’s unwitting arrival and ask about his reward. Seeing his condition, they say he was treated with poison and say he is done with it.
Back at the entrance to level three, Magellan finds Hannyabal and his troops defeated. Hannyabal declares that he has been defeated by Mr. 2, prompting Magellan to take care of things elsewhere. Hannyabal tells his soldiers to leave, then moves into the interrogation room with Buggy and Mr. 3. This is where Mr. 2 shows his true colors as he has been impersonating the Vice-Warden to fool Magellan. He states that he is coming back to save Luffy, to which Buggy tells him that there is no point. Mr. 2 yells that they’re friends, saying they don’t need another reason.
