A few hours later, Hancock met Vice-Admiral Momonga and spoke to him.
"My request is as I conveyed through Den Den Mushi. So?"
Momonga then answered and explained to Hancock.
"Only you and your pet snake are allowed. I've got permission from my superiors.... Normally, any pirate including the Sichibukai shouldn't and won't want to come to Impel Down. And even if you're allowed this time, you can't stay there too long.... Please aboard!"
After hearing Momonga's statement, Hancock nodded then turned around. Then he spoke to her sisters and the Kuja Pirates who escorted her.
".... Look after Kuja while I'm away."
"Yes, Onee-sama! Take care of yourself!"
"Onee-sama, be careful!"
""""""Hebihime-sama, good luck!""""""
After saying goodbye, Hancock then aboard onto the Marine warship that was waiting for her.
After Hancock climbed onto the deck, Momonga then spoke to her.
"Can you do something? Are they dead?"
Momonga pointed at the Marine soldiers who became stone statues.
Hancock then used her Mero Mero power.
"Wake up..."
Then the Marine soldiers were released from the curse of petrification.
""""Hm?""""
Regardless of the petrification, the Marines then fell down confused and did not understand what was happening.
Momonga then said coldly to them.
"Prepare to sail, you fools..."
Hearing the order, the Marine soldiers rushed to their feet.
""""Y-Yes!""""
They then prepare the ship to sail.
And not long after, the ship began to depart for the great prison of Impel Down.

4 days later....
"Lady Hancock, we have arrived at Impel Down!"
From outside, a Marine soldier's voice was heard and they realized that they have arrived at Impel Down.
Lepus, Hancock, and Luffy who were in the cabin heard the notification.
Then, Lepus opened the gap and told Luffy to enter.
After Luffy entered, Lepus spoke with Hancock.
"Alright.... My Queen, you might be handcuffed and searched later. But, you don't have to refuse. You'll be fine. And I'll keep an eye on you."
Hancock nodded.
"I understand...."
"That's good.... I'll go first into this Impel Down.... You don't have to worry about me."
"Husband.... Be careful...."
Hancock reminded Lepus.
Lepus smiled at Hancock then hugged and kissed her.
"Yeah.... Don't worry. I'll go first. I'll follow you to Marineford later.... I love you."
Lepus then enters the gap.

Some time later, after entering Impel Down, Lepus then opened a tear in the gap and said to Luffy.
"Rubber brat, you can out now!"
Hearing Lepus' words, Luffy then asked.
"Are we inside already?"
Lepus nodded slightly and spoke.
"Yeah.... Now you can find your own way to save your brother."
"What!? You're not helping me!?"
Luffy was a little surprised that Lepus didn't help him find Ace.
Lepus then frowned slightly and said firmly to Luffy.
"Shut up.... And I'm warning you! Don't make a fuss! If you found out and get caught, I won't save you!"
"Tch.... Stingy."
Luffy is still protesting and complaining.
"Out...."
But Lepus didn't care and just pointed at the tear in the gap telling Luffy to get out.
Luffy finally gave up too.
"Well, never mind.... Thanks for helping me get here, Rex! See you later!"
Luffy then came out of the gap and started his adventure in the big prison Impel Down.
"Finally you got my name right, you brat...."
