Third Person POV
Impel down, First Half of Grandline.
…
…
“…” The silence took over the place for a moment, while Ivankov looked at Luffy and blinked his eyes.
“You want to leave the prison and you’re asking if we want to leave too!” He asked, shocked after breaking the silence.
“Of course, isn’t this a chance for you to escape?” Luffy asked. “After all, Magellan is no longer a problem.” He finished as he waited for Ivankov’s response.
“…” Ivankov thought for a bit about Luffy’s words, but in the end, shook his head.
“I don’t know, I would just have my poster spread all over the world, as a revolutionary, I’ll wait for the right moment to act…” Ivankov said while his group just looked at him without commenting.
“All right, let’s get going then. Goodbye, Ivankov.” Luffy said and started to turn around.
“Wait! You’re leaving just like that?” The king of Newkama Land was confused with Luffy leaving without even trying to convince them after they denied his offer.
“What do you expect, Ivankov? I’m not going to keep insisting you follow me, I made a proposal, you denied it, and now I’m leaving.” Luffy commented, shrugging while his crew looked at him and started to follow.
The people of Newkama Land stood there not understanding, while Luffy disappeared down the corridor, heading back to the entrance Hugo created.
“What was that all about?” Lami asked as they walked with Luffy.
“I made my offer, but I won’t force him to leave, anyway, let’s get back on our path, we still need to reach the last floor…” Luffy said, and they continued entering Hugo’s tunnel, returning to the stairs, going back down to the place.
Meanwhile, on the dark surface with the night already taking over the sky, Magellan finally opened his eyes at that moment, feeling enormous pain throughout his body, feeling some of his bones broken at that moment.
“Ahh… What is happening…” He murmured as he began to remember what happened and felt a sharp pain in his right chest, seeing that it was bandaged at that moment.
“Director Magellan!” The prison doctor said as he approached with a lantern.
“Hm? What happened, where is Straw Hat!” He immediately demanded, looking at the starry sky, since this part of the prison no longer had a roof.
“They invaded the prison, as far as we know they entered the fifth level!” The man said worriedly.
“Fifth level! This is extremely bad, their target is level 6… I can’t let this happen!” Magellan exclaimed, concerned.
“I believe it’s already too late, director…” The man said with regret.
“How can this be happening!” Magellan punched the ground, breaking it with his hand. “The navy? Have they managed to contact the navy?!” He asked, and the man shook his head.
“Our communicators are not working, and all the ships were damaged by Enel’s lightning… We are trying to fix them… Our men are also trying to wake up the unconscious sailors!” The doctor said.
“This is very bad… Let’s go down immediately to find those pirates!” Magellan said as they prepared with a new squad, even injured, he would not leave his prison unprotected while heading to the still-functioning elevator with his group.
Meanwhile, Buggy finally found the place he was looking for. “Finally!” He found the control room, he immediately saw all the levers on the side while there were some soldiers taken out by Luffy.
He walked past them and smiled as he began to pull the levers, releasing all the cells on the floor.
“Hm?” The prisoners immediately looked surprised as their cells opened at that moment.
“What is happening here?!” They exclaimed in disbelief.
But suddenly a new voice emerged for everyone on the floor. “Attention all level 1 prisoners! I’m releasing all of you so we can start the escape together! Remember that I am Buggy! Your new boss!” He exclaimed joyfully, hoping that people would follow him at least in this escape.
“Our boss? Who does this guy think he is!” The prisoners exclaimed, not very pleased with Buggy’s statement.
“Now let’s release our brothers from the second floor, so we’ll have a better chance of escaping! Let’s unite!” He said before turning off the communication and running out of the control room on that floor and heading to the second floor.
“I think he’s right… we should help everyone, that way we’ll have a better chance!” They started thinking about what Buggy said and agreed with him.
“Follow Boss Buggy! He got us out of the cells, we owe him that much!” Others exclaimed, and soon the crowd began to unite with a single cause.
Back on the surface, while the soldiers were unaware of what was happening below them, they were trying to wake up the fallen navy soldiers.
“I passed out… what happened?!” One soldier said, but this phrase was common throughout the port.
“You finally woke up, listen, we are under attack by the Straw Hats! They are attacking the prison, we must unite to inform HQ about what is happening here!” The prison soldiers explained the situation to the men, who were surprised by this.
“What, we can’t let this happen!” They quickly exclaimed.
“First, we must inform HQ, we are without communication!” The soldiers said.
“Yes, let’s fix one of the ships then!” They exclaimed and began working on one of the warships.
“Hm?” As they began to move to see what had been damaged by Enel’s lightning, someone spotted something coming from the horizon.
“A navy ship!” They shouted.
“Finally!! Reinforcements have arrived!” They shouted when they finally saw the flag of justice on the sail.
While they celebrated, they had no idea that it wasn’t really a ship with sailors or HQ reinforcements. It was another bomb about to explode on them.
“Hm? What’s going on there…?” Teach, who had started to laugh after seeing the prison slightly illuminated, was surprised by something happening there. There was smoke from destruction, and where the prison should be, everything seemed like massive destruction, with only some parts of the wall still standing, but everything else destroyed somehow.
“Strange, everything looks destroyed… someone attacked the prison…” Van Augur said after seeing with his equipment.
“What?! Who could that be!” Teach exclaimed, confused. “Could pops do this…?” He had this thought for a second, fearing to encounter Whitebeard here, after all, he knew he couldn’t beat him like this, planning to kill him at the end of the war while he would be tired and all wounded.
“No…” He dismissed this thought a minute later. “Pops wouldn’t attack here without Ace being here, after all, the commander has already been sent to Marineford.” He concluded.
“Could there be someone strong there?” Burgess asked, eager to fight someone there.
“I don’t know… but someone is attacking before us…” Teach couldn’t help but comment, looking at it with a frown.
The navy ship continued towards Impel Down, or what was left of it, a few kilometers behind it, another navy ship was following, with two vice-admirals, heading to Impel Down trying to figure out what was happening.
Meanwhile, back in the prison, Buggy kept heading to the control room on the second floor to release the new batch of prisoners while a crowd began to hail him as the leader of the escape.
Already in the lower part of the prison, everything seemed calm without them knowing what was happening above them, only feeling the tremor they had noticed hours ago, but everything calmed down after that.
That was until in the middle of the silence of that floor, with the only person who had been talking the whole time now sleeping next to Jimbei in the room, a new explosion came from one of the doors on the side of the floor.
Making everyone immediately look there, curious, making all the greatest criminals in the world imprisoned wonder what was happening there, and in the middle of the smoke, Luffy emerged first, walking to the center of the floor.
“Hm?! Who is this?” The words quickly came from the cells, while some looked at that stunned, recognizing very well who that individual was.
“He… What is he doing here!!” Crocodile, in one of the cells near the exit, clenched his teeth, looking at Luffy arriving.
“Is this a pirate? He isn’t wearing prison clothes and has a Jolly Roger on the back of his cloak! I’ve never seen this pirate symbol!” Some exclaimed.
“Wait, there are more of them! Who are these people?!” Others said while in the middle of the smoke from the entrance, a new group came out, with all the pirates of the crew looking curious.
“So this is where all the greatest prisoners in the world are?” Zoro asked, curious, sensing with his Haki very powerful people there, people he couldn’t handle and wasn’t sure if Luffy could either…
“They’re just mortals.” Enel mocked, placing everyone in a category he considered inferior.
“Who are you mocking, ear man, I can destroy you!” One of the cells spoke, not liking the mockery of that stranger.
“…” Enel just smirked and raised his hand while lightning began to come out of it, exploding the wall next to the cell. “Let’s see if you can back up those words, Mortal.” He challenged.
“…” The man in the cell said nothing more.
“Hey, you idiot, be careful not to break these walls, we’re at the bottom of the sea, do you want to drown?” Hugo glared at him.
“Hey hey, is that the lightning logia?!” Someone exclaimed.
“The legendary devil fruit, the supreme logia?!” Another couldn’t believe it.
“Hey, who are you guys?!” Another raised the question to the group.
“Can you get us out of here!” Another said.
“Get me out of here and I will serve you for the rest of my life!”
“Together we will be invincible, I was the most powerful of my time!”
Luffy continued to hear people exclaiming, hoping he could help them, but he ignored them, focusing on moving forward.
“Long time no see, Crocodile…” Luffy looked at a cell nearby, while Crocodile looked at him with eyes full of murderous intent, but Luffy didn’t care.
“Crocodile…” Vivi immediately got angry when she saw Luffy addressing him.
Ahead on the path, there was a cell where Ace was with two other people, Jimbei hadn’t slept while thinking about what would happen during the war, imagining the worst possible scenarios. Meanwhile, he was surprised by the prisoners exclaiming in the distance, seeming like someone was invading the floor.
This was only confirmed when he saw a lightning bolt in the distance exploding one of the walls, wondering what was happening there.
The person next to him was still snoring until, for some reason, the bubble forming on her nose burst, and she began to wake up tired.
“Hm? What time is it, is it already daytime…” She said with a sweet and innocent tone. That was until she remembered why she was there. “ACEEEEE!!! I have to rescue him!” She exclaimed, quickly trying to free herself, but it didn’t seem to be working as the chains prevented her from doing anything.
“Don’t worry, we will rescue him.” A voice emerged from the darkness in front of the cell, making this person look surprised ahead, as footsteps began to appear in the corridor. It didn’t take long for Luffy to finally emerge from the darkness and look at the cell with an excited smile.
“Mugiwara!?” Jimbei was shocked to the core with Luffy appearing there.
But Luffy ignored him while his gaze fell on the person next to him, who looked at him stunned as well, but soon this was replaced by a glimmer of hope as tears began to fall from her eyes.
“LUUUUFFFFFYYYYY!!!” She screamed with all the strength of her lungs.
“Finally, I found you, I came to Impel Down to rescue you, sister.” Luffy said, maintaining his loving smile.
