At Marineford Marine Headquarters, panic spreads as staff shout "WHAT'S WRONG!I" and "HAA... HAA... WE CAN'T FIND HIM!!!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku stands grimly while reports flood in. "AND THE ROYAL SHICHIBUKAI BLACKBEARD IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!!" one officer yells. Another adds, "EVEN SO, WE'VE SEARCHED THE ISLAND... WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN WHITEBEARD WILL APPEAR... WE HAVE FIVE HOURS UNTIL ACE'S EXECUTION!!" The scene shifts to Impel Down, where a wide-eyed marine with glasses and a "MARI" hat reports urgently: "IMPEL DOWN...!!!! IT SEEMS CRAZY, BUT WE BELIEVE THAT IT'S... HAS JUST REACHED... FURTHERMORE, A SINGLE BATTLESHIP WITHOUT ANY CLEARANCE..."

At Impel Down's main entrance, chaos erupts as Blackbeard Pirates arrive. Blackbeard spreads his arms wide, laughing "UWOH, THIS PLACE HAS A GLOOMY FEEL!! UIIIHAHA!!!" while Van Auger and others stand ready. A crewmate warns, "DON'T HOLD OUT ON US... WE'RE ON THE GOVERNMENT'S SIDE HERE." Nearby marines panic: "WE'RE CURRENTLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION... WE HAVEN'T REQUESTED ANY REINFORCEMENTS!! PL...!!! PLEASE WAIT!!!" One marine protests, "AREN'T WE ON THE SAME SIDE HERE...I" but is ignored. Blackbeard grins menacingly with "ZEHAHA-HAHAHA..." as the crew smashes through the gates in an explosion of debris and screams "UWA-AAAAA-AHH!!!"

Inside Impel Down, guards shout "STOP, YOU BAS-TARDS!!" and "HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT!!!" as Blackbeard Pirates burst through. Explosions rock the prison with "BOOM" and "LIBERATION!!!" Blackbeard declares "THEY'RE INTRUDERS!!!" while a marine reports "REPORTING!! THE MARINES ON THE BATTLESHIP BLACKBEARD CAME ON." Deeper in, a massive figure with a wide grin snarls about the intruders. "THEIR OBJECTIVE IS UNKNOWN!!! THEY'VE ENTERED THE PRISON AND ARE CLEARLY HOSTILE!!! AKA BLACKBEARD AND HIS PIRATES!!! THE ROYAL SHICHIBUKAI MARSHALL D. TEACH." Prisoners and guards are pulled into darkness amid gunfire and panic as someone yells "HEY!! HANG IN THERE!!"

MY DARK LIFE OF BEING UNABLE TO BECOME WARDEN!!! IS STARTING NOW... PLEASE, YOUR ORDERS... GIWAAAAH!!!" A diagram of Impel Down levels shows Strawhat Luffy on Level 4, Buggy the Clown on Level 2, and Blackbeard at the gates. Officers shout "STRAWHAT LUFFY IS ON LEVEL 4...!!! BUGGY THE CLOWN IS ON LEVEL 2...!!! AND THE SHICHIBUKAI BLACKBEARD IS AT THE GATES!!!" Magellan demands "HOW DO WE RESPOND TO THIS SITUATION!I" while subordinates call "CAN YOU HEAR MEI HANNYA-BAL!!" and "AH!! IS... IS THAT WARDEN MAGELLAN!I WHERE ARE YOUI"

Magellan stands tall amid the ruined upper level, his massive frame dominating the scene as poison drips from his right hand. "I've also sealed off this floor. The others will be dealt with soon enough," he declares. A subordinate reports, "I've just taken care of the idiots on level 2." An unseen voice reacts with shock: "EH!!I" Below, prisoners panic as a massive ball of poison blocks a doorway. "CAPTAIN BUGGY!!! THERE'S A GIANT BALL OF POISON IN THE DOORWAY!!" one shouts. Another yells, "THIS IS BAD!!! DAMN YOU, MAGELLAN!!! THAT MAKESHIFT THING!!!"

Magellan issues orders with a fierce glare: "We can't ask for reinforcements from Marine Headquarters. We need to pull through on our own. Move to suppress the prisoners on level 4 with all available forces!!" He adds, "I have no idea why Blackbeard attacked. I don't want to do this, but... we have no other options." A sweating close-up shows his determination: "Hold on until I make it there...!!!!" Shiryu appears in profile, stating, "I'm on my way as well." Prisoners and guards rush forward shouting, "HEY!! WARDEN!! WARDEN!! WARDEN!! LET'S GO, QUICKLY!" Shiryu charges with a massive swing, roaring "UWOOOOHH, WARDEN!!!"

Shiryu of the Rain stands smoking a cigar on Level 6, Infinite Hell. Magellan addresses him: "Magellan... Just to put me back in a cell later." Shiryu replies coolly, "AHH, THAT WAS GETTING OLD... INFINITE BOREDOM REALLY MAKES YOU WANT TO DIE." Magellan warns, "You're still on death row; your sentence postponed. You don't get any more chances." Shiryu retorts, "YEAH, THAT'S TRUE... I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND." Magellan commands, "YOUR SWORD, HEAD GUARD SHIRYUU. TAKE CARE OF BLACKBEARD." A large title box reads "Impel Down Head Guard Shiryuu of the Rain."

On Level 4, Inferno Hell, Shiryu slices through guards with his sword. "MY APOLOGIES FOR CUTTING YOU DOWN..." he says as one falls. A guard reacts with "!I" while another speaks into a den den mushi: "IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE HELD A SWORD. GACHA... GOT IT. ZZZ..." Shiryu dashes forward, blade flashing, as chaos erupts. Luffy bursts onto the scene amid the fighting prisoners and guards, shouting "TO THE LEFT!! HEY, CRAB MAN!! WHERE'RE THE STAIRS TO LEVEL 3!I" A sign marks the area: "Level 4, Inferno Hell."

Explosions rock the guard room as prisoners swarm the area. "WE'VE TAKEN THE GUARD ROOM!!!" "WE'VE STOLEN THE KEYS!!" A massive roar of "わあああああああ" echoes across the scene.
