Strawhat and Blackbeard

In the stone corridors of Impel Down, alarms blare as guards shout, "THERE ARE ONLY FIVE OF THEM!! STOP THE BLACKBEARD PIRATES!!!" and "RAISE THE DRAW-BRIDGE!!! DON'T LET THEM CROSS!!!" A sign labels the area "Level 1, Crimson Hell". A massive iron drawbridge begins to rise with heavy chains while "DON!! DODON!!" echoes and a prisoner cries "UWAAH!!". Elsewhere, a marine yells "WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT, 'BETRAYED'I THEY WERE PIRATES FROM THE START, WEREN'T THEY...I" Another replies, "WE'VE CONFIRMED THAT THEY'VE BETRAYED US!! BLACKBEARD ISN'T ON OUR SIDE!!!" as gunfire erupts with "DON!! DON!!" and the order "FIRE!!!" Marines scramble in panic.

A marine mutters, "LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE DANGEROUS SHOWED UP..." while another gasps, "IS THAT MAGELLAN...!I" and "WHEN DID YOU GET OUT!!I" Panic spreads as soldiers recognize the threat: "THERE ARE... FIVE ENEMIES...I" and "H... HEAD GUARD SHIRYU!!!". In close-up, a massive grinning face laughs "ZEHAHAHAHA!! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!! WHO'RE YOU!!I" while the other figure, cigar in mouth, declares "MARSHALL D. TEACH....!! BLACKBEARD, RIGHTI" with heavy SFX "ゴォォォ...".

Chaos erupts across Level 4, Inferno Hell. Prisoners and allies charge forward shouting "BREAK THROUGH!! THEY'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT!!!" and "FORWARD!!! THE DOOR TO LEVEL 3 IS CLOSE!!!" while a sign notes "Level 4, Inferno Hell". A voice warns "WE'RE DONE FOR!!! THE DEMON GUARDS WERE BEATEN — THERE'S NO WAY TO STOP THEM!!!" as massive chains swing and debris flies. Luffy appears amid the fray, yelling "CHRIST!! HOW DO WE STOP THESE GUYS!!!" while others cry "DAMMIT!! THEIR NUMBERS ARE STILL INCREASING!!!" Heavy impacts and motion lines fill the panels as the escapees press their assault.

Sadi-chan stands atop the wreckage, whip in hand, shouting "SILENCE!! CALL ME SADI-CHAN!!!" as she lashes out. Guards yell that it is the head guard while urging others to push through the chaos. She swings her weapon furiously, declaring "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT MMM-♥ TO MY CUTE SERVANTS!!" The massive strike lands with a thunderous impact, sending prisoners and guards flying as the caption reads "AROUSAL MANIFESTO, RED DEMON WHIP*!!!" Luffy is knocked back amid the rubble, crying "UWAAH!!" while Sadi-chan continues her assault. A guard shouts "THAT BASTARD!!" as the fight rages on the broken stairs of Impel Down.

Sadi-chan leaps through the air with her massive weapon, yelling "MAKE WAY, ECCENTRIC GIRL!!" as she attacks. Ivankov appears in a dramatic pose, retorting with flair. The exchange continues with Ivankov saying "I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN!!!" and Sadi-chan replying "MMMM-♥ SILENCE!! YOU TRANSFORMED INTO A WOMAN, IVANKOVI" Below, the group reaches the fortress gates. Luffy urges everyone forward while a feathered figure questions the situation. Someone calls out "HURRY, LUFFY!! THE STAIRS ARE CLOSE!!" as they press on amid the ongoing battle.

Magellan looms in his full demonic form, declaring "I WILL ENFORCE THE PENALTY IN THE WARDEN'S PLACE!!!" and "THEY SHALL NOT PASS!!!" as he unleashes a devastating poison attack. Luffy stands his ground, refusing to yield. Prisoners cheer Magellan's strength while others panic at the sight of the Vice Warden. The massive strike sends shockwaves through the area. In the lower panels, Luffy pushes forward with determination as the massive Bazooka Squad blocks the path to Level 3, shouting warnings about the Vice Warden's approach.

Magellan summons his ultimate technique, roaring "INFERNO HELL CART!!!" while striking a powerful pose amid swirling poison and flames. The attack engulfs the area as he yells "YOU KNOW IT!! HANNYA CARNIVAL!!!" Luffy watches in shock, sweat flying from his face. The Vice Warden's massive form dominates the panel with crossed arms and tridents. In the aftermath, the poison burns everything in its path, leaving Luffy staring in horror at the overwhelming assault.

Luffy clashes fiercely with the Vice Warden inside the prison. The Vice Warden roars, "DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! IT WOULD BE PATHETIC FOR THE VICE WARDEN TO BE BEATEN THAT EASILY!!!" Luffy shouts back with fierce determination, "I'M GOING TO SAVE ACE!!" and "IF YOU WON'T MOVE, I'LL SEND YOU FLYING!!!" He stretches his arm and yells "GOMU GOMU..." before unleashing a rapid barrage. The Vice Warden reacts with shock, "HMI" as Luffy's fist barrage erupts in a massive explosion of smoke and debris. Luffy cries out the technique name, "JET GATLING"!!! while the Vice Warden is sent flying amid the impact. A strange voice cries "BUGA-BOGA-GEBO!!!" amid the chaos as the Vice Warden is overwhelmed by the relentless strikes.

At Level 4, alarms blare as guards shout, "WARDEN MAGELLAN!! HURRY!!" and "WARDEN MAGELLAN HAS ARRIVED!!" A sign marks the "Level 4, Large Elevator." The Vice Warden, bloodied but defiant, growls, "IT'S NOT OVER YET!!!" Warden Magellan arrives in full uniform, his expression stern. Guards report desperately, "WE CAN BARELY HOLD THEM OFF, EVEN WITH VICE WARDEN HANNYABAL'S HELP!!! THEY'RE IN FRONT OF THE STAIRS TO LEVEL 3!! IT'S ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FLOOR, SO IT'S QUITE FAR!! PLEASE HURRY!!" Magellan demands, "WHERE ARE THE LEADERS OF THE RIOT...!I"

The battle rages on as guards yell, "FOLLOW THE VICE WARDEN!!! DON'T FALTER!!!" The Vice Warden blocks Luffy's strikes, shouting "NOT YET!!!" Luffy presses the attack with powerful blows while the Vice Warden counters fiercely. Smoke and debris fill the air as Luffy is knocked back momentarily. He recovers and yells, "WAIT!!!" The Vice Warden continues his assault amid the chaos of the crumbling stone architecture and swirling smoke.

The Vice Warden Hannyabal delivers a passionate speech: "IF IT WERE BROKEN, THE WORLD WOULD FALL INTO THE DEPTHS OF FEAR!!! YOU WON'T TAKE ONE STEP OUT!!! THIS IS THE FORTRESS OF HELL, BUILT TO SHUT AWAY THE WORST CRIMINALS AND PROTECT THE PEACE FOR THE MASSES!!!" Luffy, bruised and determined, replies, "MY BROTHER'S LIFE IS PRECIOUS TO ME!!! SO MOVE IT!!!" Hannyabal continues, "IF YOU GET OUT, PEOPLE WOULD BE SO HORRIFIED THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT" and "YOU BASTARDS... WHO CAUSE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE OUTSIDE... PIRATES AND REBELS!!!" He draws a massive sword, declaring his resolve to stop the riot. Luffy stands ready amid the destruction as Hannyabal towers over the scene with his blade.

Black smoke and debris erupt violently across the ruined plaza as Blackbeard clashes with unseen foes. A massive impact shakes the ground while someone shouts, "THERE'S NO ANSWER, YOU IDIOT!!!" In the background, chained prisoners and guards react in panic. Jinbe stands firm and calls out, "LOOKS LIKE YOU WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING... ZEHAHAHA..." Blackbeard laughs, "HOHO, WE'VE GOT A HELL OF A CROWD HERE." Luffy's group watches tensely. A fish-man warns, "HAHA, HEY, THAT'S DANGEROUS. WHY DON'T YOU LOWER YOUR FISTSI" Another voice snaps, "NO, I SUPPOSE I SHOULD CALL YOU BLACKBEARD!" Luffy yells desperately, "TEACH!! WHY ARE YOU HERE!!I" Blackbeard retorts, "I GUESS YOU WERE TIGHT WITH ACE... BUT YOU'RE BARKIN' UP THE WRONG TREE. JIMBEI..." The clash intensifies as Bazooka Squad members charge forward shouting "BAZOOKA SQUAD!!" and "VICE WARDEN!!!" Luffy's eyes widen in shock, "THAT'S... THE GUY FROM JAYA...!!!"

Blackbeard towers over the battlefield, laughing wildly. "ZEHAHAHA...!!! IT'S BEEN A WHILE, STRAWHAT LUFFY!! I NEVER EXPECTED YOU TO BE MY SQUAD CAPTAIN ACE'S LITTLE BROTHER!" Luffy stares in disbelief, "YOU'RE BLACKBEARD!!I" Blackbeard continues, "FUFU... CAN YOU REALLY AFFORD TO STAYI YOUR BROTHER'S EXECUTION IS GOING TO START ANY MINUTE NOW... ZEHAHAHA!!!" He adds casually, "HMMI YEAH, I GUESS I NEVER INTRODUCED MYSELF." Luffy grits his teeth, sweat flying, as background voices discuss, "I HEAR HE'S BEEN CALLING HIMSELF 'BLACKBEARD' LATELY," "I'M A CHASING A SERIOUS CRIMINAL...," "WILL NEVER END!!!" and "A MAN'S DREAM." Another figure growls, "AND WAS MADE A NEW SHICHIBUKAI... I HEARD THAT A PIRATE NAMED BLACKBEARD BEAT FIRE FIST ACE."
