The Likes of Which Has Never Been Seen

Marines in gas masks charge forward with rifles. "BE CAREFUL, WE KNOW THAT THE ENEMY IS TRAPPED THERE!" "WE'VE ARRIVED AT LEVEL 6!!!" "DON'T FORGET THE PRISON BULLETS!!" "STRAWHAT, IVANKOV AND INAZUMA ALL HAVE DEVIL FRUIT POWERS!!" A massive explosion erupts with "DARA DARA..." and "ボカン...!!". Startled, one marine shouts "EH!!I". Below, they discover a giant spiraling stone structure and a huge hole in the ceiling. "WHERE ARE THOSE THREE!!I FIND THEM!!!" "THERE'S A HUGE HOLE IN THE CEILING...!! COULD THEY HAVE..." "WHAT IS THIS GIANT STONE THING...!!I"

A silhouetted figure reacts to a monitor showing prisoners. "...H... HEAD GUARD SHIRYUU!!" A marine officer growls, "THERE'S A GIANT HOLE IN THE CEILING AND YOU THINK YOU'LL FIND THEM HEREI IDIOTS...". Elsewhere, voices report: "THE THREE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ALSO RELEASED CROCODILE AND JIMBEI..." "THIS IS A TERRIBLE SITUATION... AND IT'S IMPEL DOWN'S FAILURE." "YOU'VE REALLY SCREWED UP NOW..." "LOOK AT YOU... YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT ME." "EH!!I" "AND THEY WENT UP THROUGH THAT HOLE TO LEVEL 5." A close-up shows a grinning man with a cross emblem declaring "THAT I'LL LEND HIM A HAND...!!!" while another marine stammers "UH...!! THAT'S..." and a voice snaps "WHY DON'T YOU GO TELL MAGELLAN...".

In the monitor room, a frantic marine reports "WE TRIED TO TRAP THEM IN THERE... BUT THEY OUTWITTED US!I" "THEY'RE NOT IN THEIR CELLS!!" "CROCODILE... AND JIMBEI!!I" "SO ARE THE FIVE OF THEM ON LEVEL 5!!I". A striped-uniform prisoner with a massive weapon yells "ALL RIGHT, I'LL FIGHT TOO!!!". Magellan is mentioned: "WARDEN MAGELLAN IS IN THE MIDDLE OF ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT, SO YOU'RE PROBABLY COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE." "DO YOU THINK I'M RESPONSIBLE TOO...!!I". The prisoner orders "ALL FORCES, RETURN TO LEVEL 4!!!". He then shouts "GATHER ALL YOUR SUBORDINATES AND HURRY TO LEVEL 4!!! MAKE ME THE WARDEN, EVEN IF IT COSTS YOU YOUR LIVES!!! OH, NO, WAIT!!!" while Saldeath and Sadi-chan react in panic. "SALDEATH!!!" "SADI-CHAN!!!" "FIGHT THEM, EVEN IF IT COSTS YOU YOUR LIVES!!!".

A massive close-up of Emporio Ivankov fills the top panel, eyes wide and mouth open as he shouts, "ARE YOU READYI" A sign reads "Level 5, Freezing Hell." Below, prisoners huddle in the snowy wasteland. Ivankov declares, "WE NEED TO STEAL A MARINE SHIP SO WE CAN GO TO MARINE HEADQUARTERS!!" and "SIMPLY PUT, WE NEED NUMBERS!! WE NEED AS MANY ALLIES AS WE CAN GET!!" Others cry out "SO COLD!!!" and "COLD!!" Narration warns that even reaching the gates of Level 1 leaves them surrounded by the inescapable Calm Belt. Ivankov continues, "BY RELEASING AS MANY PRISONERS AS POSSIBLE FROM LEVELS 5 TO 1!!" and "SO WHAT DO WE DOI! WE INCREASE OUR PROBABILITY OF SURVIVAL." A prisoner adds, "AND IF YOU'RE CAPTURED, IT'S TORTURE FOR YOU...!!!" Ivankov concludes, "HONESTLY SPEAKING, ONLY A HANDFUL WILL MAKE IT THROUGH RIGHT NOW, WHAT WITH OUR CURRENT NUMBERS!!!" He orders, "TAKE THE KEYS WHILE WE ASCEND AND RELEASE THEM!!"

Ivankov stands triumphantly atop a massive beast amid a stampede of awakened prisoners and wild animals charging through the snow. He roars, "UWOO-OHHH!!!" and "WE'LL CREATE A PANIC THE LIKES OF WHICH IMPEL DOWN HAS NEVER SEEN!!!" In a smaller panel he yells, "WAIT!! SOME-BODY!!!" while tension hormones surge, shown with "OOHM..." and "FORWARD!!!" A voice notes, "AFTER HIM, CANDIES!!!" Another replies, "NOW, LET'S GO, STRAWHAT BOY!!!" and "HE'S ALREADY GONE AHEAD." The crowd surges forward with cries of "STOP ME!!" and "FREEDOM IS GREAT!!! HIIHAA!!!" as doors burst open and the massive breakout begins.

A clock shows the time as narration states, "THE EXECUTION WILL BE AT 3 PM!!" and "IT'S ALMOST 10 AM NOW." A large Marine officer with a prominent nose and curly hair declares, "ACE IS ALREADY BEING MOVED, SO THE FIGHT COULD START AT ANY TIME!!!" and "THE EXECUTION WILL HAVE DEFINITELY BEGUN BY THEN!! EVEN IF OLD MAN WHITEBEARD COMES, HE'LL MAKE HIS MOVE BEFORE THEN!" Smaller panels show a cloaked figure leaping down stairs labeled "Stairs from Level 5 to Level 4," pursued by others. The officer continues, "THIS RIGHT HAND BRINGS DROUGHT." and "DOORS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME." A scarred prisoner grins, "SO HE WON'T BE KILLED BEFORE 3!I ALL RIGHT!! SO WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE!!!" while another mutters, "HMPH..."

A scroll explains Crocodile's Suna Suna no Mi power: "His right hand can absorb all moisture. With a touch, people and plants wither, and stone and earth turn to sand." Crocodile demonstrates, turning stone to sand with his hand. The bottom panel shows a massive explosion on Level 4 as debris, chains, and structures fly everywhere. Crocodile stands amid the destruction with several figures, while armed guards in the foreground react with shock, spears and guns raised. Large sound effects "パァァァ..." and "ビィィィィィ..." emphasize the devastating sand blast.

Level 4 guards panic as three figures appear. "TH-THEY'RE HERE!!!" "THIS IS LEVEL 4." The prisoners are identified in shock: "THE FORMER SHICHIBUKAI, CROCODILE!!" "THE INTRUDER, MONKEY D. LUFFY!!" "THE ESCAPEE FROM LEVEL 6, THE SHICHIBUKAI, JIMBEI!!" Luffy wipes sweat from his face and mutters, "IT'S HOT..." Crocodile stands ready with his hook while Jinbe sweats heavily. Guards yell, "ENGAGING THEM NOW!!!" "THEY'RE HERE!!!" One guard questions, "THE INFERNO HELL, HUH...I" The scene erupts as riflemen open fire with "FIRE!!" and a massive blast "ドゴォン!!" sends smoke and debris flying across the stone floor.

Luffy is hurled through the air by a massive sand wave labeled "BARCHAN"!!! Guards tumble in panic with "!!I" One shouts "GYAAAAA!!" as the sand crashes through the stone corridor. Luffy lands and stretches his arm, calling "GOMU GOMU..." before launching a rapid barrage of punches "ドドドドドド!!" "PUON!" The guards counter, screaming "FIRE!!! USE THE PRISON BULLETS!!!" while bullets fly and impact lines fill the panel.

Jinbe unleashes a devastating downward strike labeled "RAIN"!!! The impact creates a massive shockwave and water blast that sends guards flying with "UGYAAAAA!!!" A wounded guard groans "UGYAAA..." while another identifies the technique: "KARAKUSA GAWARA SEIKEN." Jinbe assumes a stance and declares "MERMAN KARATE..." Nearby guards react with confusion: "EHI" "WAH" "...I" "...!!I" as the water technique ripples outward.

On Level 2, Buggy's group listens to transmissions. "WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE PRISONI" "I CAN HEAR THEIR TRANSMISSIONS..." "LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING'S GOING DOWN... LOOK, BUGGY" "HMI" A sign reads "Level 2, Demon Beast Hell." Buggy asks, "ARE YOU GUYS READYI" Mr. 3 replies, "THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING ON ANOTHER FLOOR! THIS IS OUR CHANCE!" Prisoners cheer, "EVERYONE TO LEVEL 4!!" "THE GUARDS AND THE BLUE GORILLAS ARE GOING SOMEWHERE." Elsewhere, a massive clash erupts with "GUWAAH!!!" Crocodile, Luffy, and Buggy stand together as guards panic: "DON'T FALTER!! WE NEED TO HOLD OUT UNTIL REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE!!" "THERE'S A 300 MILLION ROOKIE AND TWO SHICHIBUKAI!!!" "UWOH!! WH... WHAT WAS THAT PUNCH!I W... WE CAN'T FIGHT AGAINST THEM!!!"

In the monitor room, a guard stares at the screen in shock. "I CAN SEE A SHADOW THAT LOOKS LIKE A PERSON SNEAKING ABOUT!! IT LOOKS LIKE A PRISONER!" Another blurts, "NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT LEVEL 2." A third gasps, "EH... OH, NO, THIS FOX HEAD-DRESS IS ACTUALLY-" as alarms blare. "SOMETHING'S WRONG." "WHAT'S WRONG!I" "VICE WARDEN, THIS IS THE MONITOR ROOM!!" A large "WHAT!!I" echoes. On Level 2, a guard reports, "SIR!! AS YOU ORDERED, WE'RE HEADING DIRECTLY TO LEVEL 4!!" The Vice Warden barks, "NO!! LOOK OVER YOUR FLOOR!!" while another guard yells, "LEVEL 2 GUARDS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!I" Buggy's crew cheers, "OH! THANKS!!" and "SAVE YOUR THANKS FOR CAPTAIN BUGGY." A prisoner laughs, "GYAHHAHAHA, LOOKS LIKE LADY LUCK IS FINALLY SMILING ON US, PARTNER." The Vice Warden sweats, "THE FLOOR..." as Buggy's ally declares, "YEAH, AND THEN WE'LL COMPLETE OUR ESCAPE!! STRAWHAT AND MR. 2 MIGHT BE DEAD ALREADY. EVEN IF THEY'RE ALIVE, THEY'LL SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES HERE. MY CONDOLENCES TO THEM, BUT WE'RE IN THE CLEAR!!" and suggests, "IF WE RAISE A RIOT HERE, WE CAN TAKE THAT CHANCE TO SNEAK ONTO A MARINE SHIP."

Buggy throws his head back in a massive laugh, "GYAHHAHAHAHAHA!!" He roars, "IF YOU WANT TO TASTE THE AIR OUTSIDE THEN RUN WILD!!! COME ON, YA BASTARDS!! THIS IS OUR GREATEST CHANCE!!!" The prisoners erupt, "UWOOOHH! OUR SAVIOR!!! CAPTAIN BUGGY!!!!" and "IT'S KICK-OFF TIME!!!" as they smash cells with "GASHAN!!" and "CRACK!!" sounds. Chaos spreads across Level 2 with prisoners in striped uniforms breaking free. Guards panic below, "PLEASE SEND THE BLUE GORILLAS BACK!!! WE CAN'T SUPPRESS THIS!!!" One shouts, "THE PRISONERS HAVE BROKEN OUT OF THEIR CELLS AND ARE RIOTING AGAIN!!!" while another stammers, "THIS IS LEVEL 2!!!" The Vice Warden stares in horror as the riot engulfs the floor.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay, still in his fox disguise, spots a figure and gasps, "WAIT, UWOH!!! CR... CROCODILE!!I" Crocodile drops a set of keys with a metallic "ZICHAN...!" Mr. 2 cries, "OHH!! THE KEY!! THANKS, MAN!!!" In a cell, Mr. 1 sits silently. Crocodile, cigar in mouth, says, "I'M THINKING OF BLOWING THIS JOINT... BUT I NEED SOME MANPOWER. HOW ABOUT ITI YOU IN," while Mr. 1 replies with a simple "...I" Mr. 1 stands, cracking his knuckles with "SHA..." and "RAA...!!" sounds, declaring, "I WAS JUST GETTING BORED OF THIS PLACE....!!" Crocodile asks, "YEAH, I'LL GO... WITH YOU." A massive panel shows Mr. 1's intense face as he announces, "THIS IS LEVEL 4!!!"

On the stairs, a guard yells, "THEY'VE APPEARED WITH REINFORCEMENTS!!!" Another cries, "THE OKAMA KING IVANKOV AND INAZUMA, ALONG WITH MR. 2..." while others shout, "WHAT'S WRONG NOW!!!I" and "RE... REINFORCEMENTS!!I" In the chaos, Ivankov and Inazuma fight alongside prisoners. A guard panics, "WHAT!I WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!I" as Ivankov declares, "THEY HAVE WITH THEM... WELL, I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES!!! THEY'RE WITH THE PRISONERS WHO WERE DEMONED AWAY, WHO'VE BEEN MISSING FOR DECADES!!! THERE'S NO MISTAKE!!!" Below, Mr. 1 glares at Crocodile and growls, "HE GOT BEATEN BY THAT STOMACH BAND GUY IN ALABASTA!!" Crocodile replies coolly, "OH, I DON'T KNOW HIM." Mr. 1 snaps, "NGEH!! WHY ARE YOU HERE, MR. 1!I" while a voice asks, "WHO'S THATI" Buggy's crew reacts, "JEEEEZ!! I'M IN TIP TOP CONDITION!!!" and "BON-CHAN, YOU GOT 'TOO'!I"

A massive chaotic splash page erupts with prisoners stampeding forward. Luffy grins wildly in the foreground as he leads the charge. Behind him, Emporio Ivankov looms gigantic, face twisted in a furious roar. A huge speech bubble declares: "WE CAN'T STOP THEM!!!" Another massive bubble from the bottom left shouts: "HERE WE COME, MARINE HEADQUARTERS!!!" Smaller panels on the right show panicked guards yelling "Send reinforcements to Level 2 too!!!" and "We need reinforcements on Level 4!!" One guard panics, "Uwahhh, what do I doI!" A close-up warns "Emporio face growth hormones!!!" Prisoners scream "Uwaaahhh, it's so hot!!!" and "It's no good!! We can't stop them!!!" The final caption reads: "...!! The prisoners who disappeared are..." Volume text states "55 VOLUME 55 (END)".
