A vibrant color splash page shows the Straw Hat Pirates and allies celebrating atop a massive flying gray elephant boat labeled 'FLYING PARTY ELEPHANT 18' soaring through a bright blue sky with rainbows. Luffy, wearing a straw hat and red shirt, grins widely while eating with chopsticks in the center. Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp in a red cap, Chopper in a pink hat, Robin, Franky with blue hair, and Brook with an afro and top hat all feast on seafood, meat, noodles, and vegetables. Brook holds a bone and laughs. Food and drinks spill everywhere with foam and steam. A small octopus clings to the boat while birds fly nearby. Large text reads 'ONE PIECE come on! KAIZOKU NABE'. At the bottom, the chapter title is displayed: 'Chapter 537: "OKAMAS IN HELL"'.

A mostly blank page with a single small panel at the bottom. Inside the panel, a stern man with a large X-shaped scar over his left eye and short hair stares forward with a serious expression. To his right, a shorter figure with a striped shirt, wild black afro, and skull-like face grins widely with sharp teeth. The background shows faint stone walls and a small panda-like figure peeking out.

Nami, sweating heavily in her striped top, fans herself and complains, 'IT REALLY IS LIKE HELL IN HERE!' and 'HAA... IT'S SO HOT DOWN HERE!' A large muscular figure with a metal mask, cross symbols, and a wide grin leans in close, declaring 'WHAT A HEALTHY AND SPUNKY BEAUTY' with hearts and 'NGEH!!! TOTALLY MY TYPE!!!'. Below, in a smoky stone prison corridor, prisoners lie defeated on the ground. A tall figure with a trident stands over them. A small prisoner in stripes approaches while speech bubbles read: 'COME ON OVER HERE', 'DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT, BRO.', 'WHO ARE YOU...I', 'THE ONE WHO BEAT THESE GUARDS DOWN... HUHI', and 'WAIT, BUT... HUH!I WHERE'D THAT SLIPPERY OKAMA GO...I' A sound effect 'SUTA SUTA' appears near footsteps.
The masked muscular man reacts with shock, hearts flying as he exclaims with sound effects 'ポッポ...!!!'. Nami, still sweating, pulls at her sticky clothes and says, 'MY CLOTHES ARE ALL STICKY FROM THE SWEAT. WON'T YOU HELP ME GET THEM OFFI'. The man responds 'HMI' then 'I'VE GOT YOU NOW.' while grabbing her. He opens a heavy stone door with 'BATAN...', 'GACHA', and 'ガチャ' sounds, saying 'SURE SURE HERE WE GO- THEN GO AHEAD AND OPEN THIS DOOR.'. In a dark storage room labeled 'Level 4 - Torture Tool Storage', the bound figure with long hair and a hat sweats profusely, thinking 'I WON'T FORGIVE YOU...!!! I'LL NEVER FORGET THIS, YOU OKAMA...!!!!' and 'IT'S GREAT THAT THIS IS THE WARDEN'S RESPONSIBILITY, BUT I HATE BEING OUT-WITTED!!!'. A small figure walks in the background.

Magellan sweats heavily in the Warden's Office on Level 4 - Inferno Floor, shouting "OOOH - HHH~!! I USED TOO MUCH POISON!" as an alarm blares "ゴゴゴゴゴ!!" and someone cries "OHH!!". Below, guards on Level 2 - Demon Beast Floor discuss the situation: "THIS COULD BE BAD... BUT WE'RE STILL MISSING SOME KEYS." "YES, WE'VE PUSHED THE PRISONERS BACK INTO THEIR CELLS." A skull-faced guard growls "JUARA...". On Level 3 - Starvation Floor, Sadi-chan yells into a Den Den Mushi, "YES, MA'AM!!" while a guard reports "THE OKAMA PRISONER-MMM~♥ IS DEFINITELY ON THIS FLOOR!!" Another shouts "HURRY!! CAPTURE HIM ALIVE!!" as Minotaurus and chained guards charge forward. Sadi-chan reacts with shock: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN~ MMM~ YOU CAN'T FIND HIM!I ♥"

Bon Clay wakes up in a dazzling Newkama Land club filled with disco balls and cheering okamas. A massive "ドドーン" sound effect erupts as the crowd shouts "NEW KAMA CHEERS!!" and "WE WERE WATCHING YOU ON THE MONITORS. YOU HAD ONE INTERESTING JOURNEY!!" Someone offers, "YOU WERE OUT FOR A WHILE. WANNA DRINKI" Bon Clay stares in horror, bandaged and wide-eyed, thinking back: "AND I WAS SAVED BY STRAW-CHAN'S MYSTERIOUS POWER... THEN I PASSED OUT... AM I DREAMING!I OR DID I FREEZE TO DEATH AND GO TO... HEAVEN!I" Inazuma and others converse at a table: "HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!I CHILLING IN NORMAL CLOTHES, EATING FOOD AND DRINKING... IS THIS PARADISE!I" "REST ASSURED, THIS IS IMPEL DOWN." Bon Clay asks, "WHERE IS THIS!I WHERE'S STRAW-CHAN!I" as the group replies, "WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF FOOD!!"

Inazuma, in a fur-trimmed coat, explains to the bandaged Bon Clay: "TO PREVENT YOU TWO FROM FREEZING TO DEATH, I CARRIED YOU HERE...!!" "MY NAME IS INAZUMA. EXCUSE ME. ♥" Bon Clay jolts awake: "TEN HOURS!I WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!I WHO ARE YOU!!!I" Inazuma continues, "ABOUT TEN HOURS... YOU'RE AWAKEI YOU SLEPT WELL." On stage, Inazuma tells the crowd, "IT'S STARTING...!! CHECK OUT THE STAGE. OH...! THE LIGHTS ARE OUT." Bon Clay panics, "IS HE OKAY!I THE TWO OF US...!!! THEN IS STRAW-CHAN HERE!!!I WHERE IS HE!I" as guards and prisoners react. Inazuma says, "HE'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING. GO TO THE FRONT." Bon Clay demands, "ARE YOU GUARDS!I WHERE ARE WE!I" while someone urges, "NOW CALM DOWN..."

Emporio Ivankov stands on the Newkama Land stage under spotlights, striking a pose as the crowd cheers. Ivankov declares, "FROM IMPEL DOWN'S SEWERS, YOU TAKE THE 'PATH THAT DOESN'T EXIST,' AND YOU ARRIVE... AT THE PRISONERS'... PARADISE!!!" while singing and playing guitar with "ジャララーン" notes. The audience shouts "RIGHT HERE!!" "THEY'RE ALL FREEDOM!" and "MMMI... YES YES, THE GUARDS WERE CERTAINLY BUSY TODAY." Ivankov continues, "LIQUOR, WEAPONS, GAMES, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOUR HEART'S DESIRE. ♥" A footnote explains the "makai" pun. Prisoners roar "WELCOME TO..." as the stage erupts with "パァァァァ!!" effects. A caption notes, "'PRISONERS ARE DISAPPEARING.' 'THEY'VE BEEN DRAGGED TO HELL,' OR SO THEY SAY. BUT IN TRUTH..."

In the secret depths of Impel Down Level 5.5, the prisoners' secret flower garden, Emporio Ivankov stands center stage under flashing disco balls as the New Kama Land erupts in celebration. The crowd roars with raised fists while backup dancers in fishnets and bunny ears strike poses. Ivankov belts into the mic with wild energy, "AAHHHHH!!!! 'NEW KAMA LAND'!!!!" A small inset shows panicked prisoners yelling "KYAA, QUEEN IVA!!" and "WHAT'S WITH THIS PERVERT BRIGADE!!" Another panel has Ivankov looking faint, muttering "I'm feeling... anemic..." and "I upped the tension a bit much there..." before snapping back with a massive close-up, "I'M FINE!!!" The audience chants "YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE!!" and "YOU GOT US!!" A sign on the stage reads "Kamabakka Kingdom Queen (retired) Emporio Ivankov" as the entire hall explodes with cheers and the label "IMPEL DOWN LEVEL 5.5, THE PRISONERS' SECRET FLOWER GARDEN!!!"

Ivankov leans in with a massive close-up, shouting "TO MY NEW KAMA LAND!! HIIHA!!!" and laughing "HA!!! HAHA~!!!" while declaring "NNNFU-FUFU! WEL-KAMA!!!" In a flashback panel, a chained prisoner stares and asks "...COULD YOU BE... IVA...!I" Ivankov replies from the stage, "OHHHH-MY!! YOU'VE HEARD OF ME!I" The crowd reacts with shock; one man yells "WHAT YOU CALL ME MATTERS VERY LITTLE... EVEN 'POOP' WOULD BE FINE..." while another warns "SHUSH, CANDICE. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP WITH LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT." A woman cries out "THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S THE KING OF NEW KAMA, QUEEN IVA!!" and another shouts "WAIT, WAIT!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, CALLING HER 'IVA'!!!I"

A scarred prisoner with a cannon arm growls "...HE'S... THE MAN OF MIRACLES...!!!!" and recalls "I'VE ALWAYS HELD HIM IN GREAT RESPECT..." while another voice notes "HE CAME BACK AS AN OKAMA!!! IT RUINED MY COUNTRY AND MY FAMILY...!!!!" Ivankov continues singing wildly "BUT NOT POOP!!!" The cannon-armed man reveals "I HEARD YOU USED TO BE THE QUEEN OF THE KAMABAKKA KINGDOM...!!!!" and states "FIFTEEN YEARS AGO... MY FATHER WAS THE KING OF OUR COUNTRY... BUT AFTER HE WENT TO THE KAMABAKKA KINGDOM..." before declaring "EMPORIO IVANKOV!!!" Ivankov panics as the man aims the cannon, yelling "THAT'S DANGEROUS!! IT'S DANGEROUS!!!" and "I'LL DIE IF YOU HIT ME WITH THAT... I..." while the attacker roars "I NEVER DREAMED I'D FIND YOU HERE!! I MAY HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE, BUT I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE RIGHT NOW!!!"

Ivankov leaps forward shouting "I WON'T DIE!!!" as the massive prisoner swings his cannon arm with a huge impact "ズバァァァァ!!!" The attacker yells "YOU WON'T DIE!I YOU GOT ME YET AGAIN!" A close-up shows Ivankov's eye with the word "DEATH" as he prepares his counter. The prisoner sweats in terror, "AGA!! AGAGAGAGA... S... ST-ST-STOP!!! NOT THAT WEAPON!!!" Ivankov unleashes his technique with a dramatic wink, the sound effect "ピタァァァァ!!!" and the declaration "WINK"!!! while the prisoner screams "BUOH!!!" and the crowd reacts with "OOHHHH-" as the attack lands.

A wild-haired man stares in shock, shouting "EH!" as two black spheres hurtle forward with heavy impact sounds "ゴッ..." and "ゴッゴッ...". The spheres slam into a massive target, triggering an enormous explosion. A grotesque skull-like face emerges from the blast, roaring "GUOH!!!" amid flying debris and the huge sound effect "ボッコーン!!!!". In the aftermath, Emporio Ivankov laughs triumphantly with "NNN~ FUFUFU" while a narrator explains, "... THAT'S QUEEN IVA'S EXTRAORDINARY WINK, THE DEATH WINK!!" Nearby allies including a polka-dotted woman and a goggled man react with stunned expressions as smoke and rubble fill the air, ending with "...!!!!".

Emporio Ivankov grins wildly as a cannonball is reflected back, with an observer gasping "H... HE REFLECTED A CANNONBALL WITH A WINK!!I" and another screaming "U-UWAA-AAH!!!". Ivankov unleashes a powerful strike, yelling "GUAA-AAH!!!" while declaring "FEMALE HORMONES" and "EMPORIO". A transformed figure cries out in agony. In the lower panels, voices shout "TWO MOTHERS!! ONE DAUGHTER!! ANYTHING GOES!", "STOP! I'M LOSING...!!!", "YOUR FATHER WANTED TO BECOME A WOMAN... WHAT'S WRONG WITH THATI", and "YOU...!! YOU COULDN'T HAVE...!!" as chaotic transformations and reactions erupt around the group.
Emporio Ivankov laughs heartily at a blushing figure, teasing "HIHAA!! YOU'RE STILL EMBARRASSED, SO YOU STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO ON THE ROAD TO BECOMING A NEW KAMA!!" while the embarrassed person mutters "I'm so embarrassed!!" and "Kyaaa~!! Stop!!". A helmeted observer exclaims "... HE REALLY IS A MAN OF MIRACLES...!! INDEED!!" and "...!!! A MAN... BECAME A WOMAN...!!!". The scene widens to a cheering crowd raising fists, proclaiming "THIS IS OUR NEW HUMANITY!! NEW KAMA LAND!!!", "WE'VE LEFT THEM FAR BEHIND!!!", "THE BORDERS BETWEEN GENDERS... I... NO... WE...", and "A MAN, A WOMAN, AN OKAMA, YOU SHOULD BE WHATEVER YOU WANT!!" as the liberated prisoners celebrate wildly.

Emporio Ivankov faces a desperate visitor who pleads "I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!!! I'M SO GLAD... I KNOW THIS IS TOO FORWARD, BUT I HAVE A REQUEST!!!" while another voice states "IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO MEET YOU!!!". A dramatic title panel reads "CREATOR OF MIRACLES, EMPORIO IVANKOV!!!". Ivankov asks "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE STRAWHAT BOYI" as the visitor begs "PLEASE, SAVE MY FRIEND WHO HAS BEEN STRUCK WITH MAGELLAN'S POISON...!!!!" and "... HELP HIM!!!". Bon Clay and others discuss the situation, with one noting "BON-CHAN... AND THE WOLVES... GOT HIM." and another explaining "IT'S BECAUSE THAT STRAWHAT BOY ASKED US TO!!" while a guard reacts with "STRAW-CHAN DID...!I" and "EH!!I".

In the depths of Impel Down, a guard reflects on an unexpected display of loyalty: "THE FLOWER OF FRIENDSHIP CAN BLOOM EVEN IN PRISON." Another replies, "THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU HEAR FROM MEN AT DEATH'S DOOR VERY OFTEN." A third voice adds, "HE'S MY FRIEND" and "PLEASE..." The speaker continues, "IF I HEARD THAT AND DID NOTHING, I WOULD BE A DEMON IN HUMAN SKIN." A shocked guard exclaims, "REALLY!I" The discussion turns grim as one states, "WE STARTED TREATING THE STRAWHAT BOY OVER TEN HOURS AGO!!!" Details follow: "AND IT'LL TAKE ANOTHER TWO DAYS." "HE'S BEEN SCREAMING NONSTOP FOR TEN HOURS NOW...!" "IT'LL BE ROUGH. WE SHUT HIM IN THAT CAVE." Massive screams erupt from the sealed cavern below: "あぁぁぁぁぁぁぁ" and "UWA-AAAAA-AAHHH...!!!" accompanied by heavy chains rattling "ガシャン!!" and desperate cries of "UWA-AAH!!!" and "OWEH!!" as the Straw Hat prisoner endures prolonged torment.

This is an SBS page featuring reader questions answered by Oda. Top panel shows a comedic scene with "しっもんコーナー" and large "SBS" letters. Reader R: "Odacchi! Don't mind." -Amane Hiroshi. O: "Thank you. I think that even someone like me can live on." R asks about Magellan and Impel Down marks resembling "power" kanji. O explains the "I" and "D" initials on collars and arms, showing diagrams of the Impel Down symbol. Another question: "Hi Oda! I went three days without sleep thinking about this, but how about we make your birthday 1/6, for Eiichiro*I" -Bar Code. O agrees. Further Q&A discusses "The book of questions for Odacchi!" inside the Sunny, noting Zoro reads martial arts books and weapon references rather than being a bookworm. Small illustrations of the Thousand Sunny and Impel Down flag appear alongside the text.
