Cover Page: Straw Hats and Animals: Vivi prepares a meal with Terracotta. Meanwhile, Cobra and Matsuge spy on them.

Guards burst into Level Six, only to find the prisoners have since escaped through the ceiling with the help of Jinbe and Crocodile. Shiryu offers his help, as the Newkamas try to catch up to Luffy, who ran ahead. Meanwhile, Buggy's group releases more prisoners, prompting Hannyabal's action.

Guards wearing gas masks run towards Level 6 and believe that Luffy, Ivankov and Inazuma are still trapped in Level 6. However, to their immediate surprise, there is a gigantic stone spiral, going through the roof, up to Level 5. The hole is most probably Crocodile's work and the spiral being Inazuma's, due to his Choki Choki no Mi abilities.

A guard suggests to search the floor and they disperse, when one is stopped by a voice in a cage, calling the guards idiots. The guard recognizes the prisoner, the once head jailer of Impel Down, Shiryu. Shiryu tells the guards that they cannot do anything properly without him and that they have brought great shame upon the name of Impel Down. He reveals that Luffy freed Crocodile and Jinbe. Shiryu also states that if Magellan agrees, that he will help catch the five escapees.

A number of guards are running around, while one reports to Hannyabal, about the current situation with five escapees in Level 5. Hannyabal finally decides to face them himself, hoping to achieve the status of Chief Warden of Impel Down. He orders Sadi and Saldeath to move to Level 4.

On Level 5, Ivankov is surrounded by a number of New Kamas, all shivering, while he explains the plan. Ivankov states that the only way to escape would be aboard a Marine battleship and that they must release prisoners on their way, hoping to form allies. Iva shouts that only a handful would manage to escape out of Impel Down itself. The small group heads off, where Crocodile, Jinbe and Luffy already ran off. Mr. 2 Bon Kurei is spinning rapidly around, due to Iva's "Emporio: Tension Hormones".

Running up the staircase between Levels 5 and 4, Jinbe confirms Ace's execution time. He also predicts that Whitebeard would attack before the execution and that the battle could break out at any time, as Ace was already on the open sea. As they run, a door blocks the way, when Crocodile surges forward, saying that his right hand could turn it to sand thanks to his Suna Suna no Mi power. However, when he disintegrates the door, a number of jailers appear, holding guns and tridents or spears. The jailers confirm the three escapees and request for back up. A group shoots at Crocodile but they just go straight through, due to Crocodile's Logia Devil Fruit. Crocodile advances on three of the jailers, using a sand move that dehydrates the men at contact. A group prepares to capture Luffy, which Luffy pummels in an instant using his Gomu Gomu no Mi.

Jinbe uses Fish-Man Karate, using a punch. However, to the guard's surprise, nothing happens, until the punch sends shockwaves through the air, sending the jailers back. Despite being defeated, the jailers are determined to hold out, waiting for reinforcements.

On Level 2, Mr. 3 and Buggy are hiding behind a wax wall. They notice the Blue Gorillas moving out of Level 2. At that point, Buggy goes to a cage, where some prisoners are holding cage keys and one reveals that Mr. 3 had used his Doru Doru no Mi to manufacture the keys. Buggy tells the story where, after being chased by the wolves on Level 5, they had hided behind wax walls, all the way to Level 2.

In a monitor room, guards report of prisoners creeping around, opening cages. At this point the Level 2 Guards notice that nearly everyone was out of their cages and preparing to riot, once again. The guard pleads with Hannyabal to send back the Blue Gorillas, as they could not take the prisoners on their own.

On Level 4, Crocodile throws keys into a cage, asking Mr. 1 to join their cause, where Mr. 1 agrees. Hannyabal gets a report that Ivankov, Inazuma and Mr. 2 had shown up leading a small army, consisting of the prisoners that had been "demoned away". Iva and Mr. 2 are reunited with Luffy, where to Mr. 2's surprise, Mr. 1 was running along with them.

Ivankov uses "Face Growth Hormones", where his face grows unbelievably huge. As Hannyabal wonders what to do, the report continues, that they could not be stopped as the "demoned away" prisoners were barely controllable when they were normal prisoners. The chapter ends with the small army fighting its through the number of Impel Down jailers.
