[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Marinefort, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

After passing through the prison guards, they finally came to the gate leading to the fifth level, which was frozen due to the harsh snow of the floor.

Luffy then opened the gate his way, disappearing and exploding it with a powerful punch to the metal, sending the door flying inward as it was destroyed.

With the cold air beginning to come towards them, and the crew members who had no affinity for ice, which was the element most present among the Devil Fruit users, being Yamato, Kuina, and Chouchou, or even fire, with Luffy and Reiju, all the others felt the icy wind as their bodies began to tremble.

"Luffy... Please, close this door!" Vivi immediately complained.

"Luffy..." Nojiko also complained in her way as she tried to warm herself up by generating small explosions in her hand.

"..." Robin didn't complain as she kept herself hugged with several created arms, but still trembling.

"Luffy!!! It's freezing!" Nami complained.

"I need to warm up!" Usopp shouted as he tried to create light to generate heat and Chopper tried to feel the warmth next to him.

"Oh? Sorry about that, here you go." Luffy looked at his crew and opened the system store, buying suitable clothes for the entire crew.

"Thank you!!" Chopper shouted, trembling as he put on his clothes.

"Nee... that's much better..." Hachi said, warming up with clothes for his six arms.

Luffy nodded and continued without putting on any extra clothes, just his cloak without a shirt.

"You certainly know how to tremble..." Reiju commented, looking at Lami.

"You wretch..." Lami murmured as she warmed up with her clothes. Reiju, on the other hand, had the phoenix flames and kept her pink dress with the feathers out, not minding entering a frozen area.

Luffy continued walking through the floor, as the scene of heat and lava was replaced by a frozen desert. As they walked through the place, there were many prisoners frozen in their cells.

"Are they dead...?" Shirahoshi asked while staying in warm clothes and clinging to Luffy's back as he generated heat.

"I think so... no one should survive this." Alvida replied while clinging to one of Luffy's arms and hanging from him.

"..." Vivi was clinging to the other arm.

"When are we leaving this place? I hate the cold..." Nami said as she had feathers around Luffy's waist, her breasts against his chest.

"..." Lami said nothing as she clung to Luffy's side, her breasts squeezed against his rib.

It was a common scene for these women when they arrived in cold regions, the same happened in the Drum Kingdom.

"Let's head straight for the exit from here..." Luffy said, not even bothered by being surrounded by women, while the rest of his crew could only see him being clung to from all sides.

They followed the direction Hannyabal had told Luffy, and it didn't take long to reach the place where there was the emergency entrance. They found a door on the ground sometime later with Luffy also knocking down all the wild wolves of this floor with his Haki.

Luffy approached the wheel on top of the door and started to turn it, while the lid opened the entrance revealing a staircase to the next level.

The girls finally let go of Luffy as they continued down the stairs, closing the door behind them, and Luffy descended for a while until he finally stopped halfway.

"Is there a problem, captain?" Hugo asked, seeing Luffy standing still.

Luffy didn't respond immediately. He just looked at the wall and spoke. "Enel, can you sense anything behind that wall?" He asked his best user of Observation Haki when it came to covering a large area.

"Hm... Yes, I sense a bunch of mortals on that side." He spoke arrogantly.

"Got it..." Luffy said as he thought about how to get through the brick and stone walls without breaking them.

"Hugo... Can you open a passage with your powers?" He asked, and Hugo, despite not knowing what his captain's goal was, approached the wall to feel it. Luffy could use Lami, but she didn't have such a long reach.

"I can open a passage up to 150 meters," he said, and Luffy nodded.

"Do it," he ordered. Using the power of the earth, the wall began to open, creating a passage as large as the corridor they were in, expanding forward.

"Good job, let's go!" Luffy said as he created a flame with his hand, and a ball of fire began to fly above him, following him, illuminating the perfect path that Hugo created.

"Luffy... What is this? Where are we going and how are there people that Enel mentioned here?" Nojiko asked, confused.

"There is a group of people hidden between level 5 and 6. That's why I asked as soon as I could feel some small presences in a straight line," Luffy explained.

"Hidden people...?" Robin couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, they are agents of the revolutionary army. One of the commanders is hiding while people think he is dead. I'll ask if he wants to come out and join us. After all, this is an opportunity for him to leave as well," Luffy commented as they finally reached the end of the path, arriving at an empty corridor. However, ahead, the corridor was illuminated by a party happening in the next room.

Emporio Ivankov was singing for his audience while everyone seemed excited, dancing and partying as they were accustomed to. Today, in particular, some strange things began happening, like the radio they had stolen from the prison stopped working, and they no longer heard any of its communications, something that kept them alert to what was happening in the prison. Or the tremors with loud noises coming from the floors above; they thought this could be normal, after all, what else could they do while remaining on floor 5.5?

Everything had returned to Newkama Land, so they resumed partying, and all the transvestites seemed to be having fun, eating and drinking the food from the depot they had stolen.

Perhaps because they were so excited, they didn't even notice the strange people coming from the corridor while they stopped to watch the show.

"This... what is this! Why is everyone wearing makeup and wigs?" Yamato asked curiously.

"They seem so excited! It must be a fun party!" Shirahoshi exclaimed.

"Well... I never imagined there was a prisoners' party happening in the world's largest prison..." Usopp murmured.

"Nee... who are these people."

"That guy sings terribly...." Nami complained while the big-headed man wearing strange clothes with blue hair, a crown, and makeup sang out of tune, but the people around seemed to enjoy it.

"This is Ivankov, user of the Hormone-Hormone Fruit. He can transform any person into a woman or a man, as well as alter and give any hormones to people, being able to cure them of diseases, poisons, or even give them a boost of energy," Luffy commented.

"Seems quite useful, although... it seems useless to change people's sex..." Vivi commented.

"Changing people's sexes..." Kuina murmured. After all, this would give her a chance to be a man. Her father always said she couldn't follow her dreams because she was a woman... Now she could make him believe in her too.

'No, I must prove that even as a woman, I can become the best swordsman in the world and...' She lifted her head and saw Luffy staring at her with eyes expecting her response, which caught her by surprise.

"Good thing you didn't choose that. I prefer you feminine," Luffy responded with a smile while the people around looked without understanding what he meant, but Kuina immediately blushed.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" She said, crossing her arms.

Luffy just smiled and turned his attention forward, waiting for his presence to be noticed.

"Hm?" A man was about to say something to his friend dressed as a woman when he saw the group of 19 people standing at the entrance of the corridor, calmly observing them while the king of Newkama Land sang.

"Who are they...?" Another transvestite pointed at them, drawing the attention of their colleagues.

"Are they prison guards?!" One of them exclaimed.

"They're not wearing prison clothes, but it doesn't change the fact that we've been discovered!" he shouted in fear.

Inazuma approached Ivankov, who was singing with urgency. "What is it? Can't you see I'm singing?!" he exclaimed at his confused subordinate.

"We have company!" Inazuma said seriously, and Ivankov looked ahead, finally paying attention and seeing the group of people with all the transvestites already eyeing them cautiously.

Ivankov didn't think twice before jumping off the stage, doing a pirouette in the air with both legs together and arms extended, landing in front of the group with a serious look.

"Who are you!!??" he exclaimed, ready for a fight, with his companions also preparing for a possible fight.

"Is that how you greet your boss's son, Ivankov...?" Luffy calmly approached the man.

"Hm?" Ivankov blinked a few times, looking at Luffy without understanding... "Boss's son...?"

"Chief Ivankov, he is Monkey D. Luffy, grandson of Monkey D. Garp and son of Monkey D. Dragon... He appeared in the newspaper a few months ago when the news of him being Dragon's son came out in Loguetown..." Inazuma commented. They had no more information about Luffy, after all, newspapers were extremely difficult to get here on the fifth floor. But they saw the news. Ivankov didn't recognize him before because he didn't have his poster, and the photo in the newspaper was very distant, showing the whole family in the square of Loguetown, Garp, Dragon, Lucy, and Luffy.

"..." Ivankov took some time to absorb this information while people awaited his reaction.

"WHAAAT!!!!????" he exclaimed as his body flew backward, colliding with the wall and creating a hole, making him fall to the ground on his own.

"What kind of reaction is that..." Robin commented, breaking her calm character a bit as she saw the transvestite king act that way.

"You-You-You-You-You-You-You-You-You-You-You-You-You-You-You-You..." Ivankov stammered.

"That's a lot of 'You'... just finish your sentence..." Luffy commented, scratching his nose, watching the man just repeat the same phrase with both groups stunned on either side.

"You're Dragon's son!!??" he exclaimed.

"Yes, as you can see... I'm Monkey D. Luffy, nice to meet you... I guess," Luffy commented calmly.

"You, what are you doing here? Were you arrested?" he asked, looking at Luffy, not knowing what was happening.

"No, I'm invading the prison on my own..." Luffy commented, shrugging.

"You're invading the prison!?" Ivankov made a shark-toothed grimace. "How did you get past Magellan?" He couldn't believe it.

"I beat him up, ended up destroying the entire surface of the prison in the process," he commented once again.

"You can't be serious!" Everyone shouted in disbelief, looking at Luffy and his group, thinking they were somehow lying.

"How annoying, let's get straight to the point..." Luffy continued, looking seriously at the group. "I came here to make a proposal. If you want to leave and escape the prison, we'll be heading to Marineford afterward." Luffy said with a smile while the group in front of him looked shocked.
