Chapter's Events: 

————————— 

After Ivankov dealt with the Level 6 prisoners who wanted to flatter their way to freedom as well, another voice pleaded for release:

"I'm begging you!!"

"Take me as well!!! I will definitely be of use!!! Haa…" It was Jimbei who said that.

"Ace… I've known him since he joined the Whitebeard Pirates. He told me plenty about his Little Brother…!!!" Jimbei paused for a moment, looking directly into Luffy's attentive eyes.

"I'm here because I was opposed to this war!!! I want to save Ace!!! Please!!! Give me a good place to die!!!" 

At this moment, Luffy saw sincerity and unwavering determination in Jimbei's eyes.

"Ooh~ Here's another big name…!!" Ivankov was shocked when he recognized the person.

"Very well." Luffy's answer was a clear agreement.

"Hey, are you sure? We don't know anything about how dangerous he is, or what he's like!!" Inazuma objected.

"It's fine, let him out." Luffy's decision was clear and unchangeable.

"… I am forever in your debt!!!" Jimbei felt unparalleled gratitude for the trust Luffy placed in him.

"Ohh!! I'm in your debt too!!" "I'm begging you!!!" 

Two other prisoners tried to use Jimbei's words to free themselves as well, but Ivankov had them in his sights again. "Silence!! 'Death Wink'!!!"

As ordered, Inazuma used his power to free both Jimbei and Crocodile.

"Well then, we're short on time…!!! We'll force our way out of this prison!!! Hiiha!!!" Ivankov shouted enthusiastically.

"Hey, let us out too!!!" The other prisoners still wished to be freed as well.

"I won't let you lay a hand on Whitebeard, Crocodile!!" Jimbei warned.

"Then why don't we settle this now?" Crocodile showed no weakness in return.

"We've even got two former Shichibukai here." Inazuma said in amazement.

"Two!? Who's the other one?" 

While Luffy didn't know that Jimbei was a former Shichibukai as well.

In the depths of Fish-Man Island, Jimbei found himself marveling at the smooth flow of his conversation with Luffy. 

His eyes widening in realization of the remarkable rapport they shared. Across from him, Tiger, with a genial smile gracing his features, expressed admiration for Jimbei's exceptional qualities.

"It's evident, isn't it? Your exceptionalism shines through, Jimbei," Tiger remarked, his tone infused with genuine appreciation.

Jimbei's emotions swirled within him, a blend of astonishment and gratitude at Luffy's quick trust despite their unfamiliarity.

"He placed his trust in me without hesitation, even in the absence of prior acquaintance," Jimbei reflected, his sentiments tinged with complexity.

"Luffy possesses an innate ability to discern sincerity and loyalty, even in strangers," Tiger remarked, acknowledging Luffy's unique insight.

"Indeed, it's this remarkable trait that has garnered him a crew of unwavering comrades," Jimbei commended Luffy's discernment.

"In all my years, I've seldom encountered someone as steadfastly loyal as Luffy," Tiger added, admiration evident in his voice.

"He's truly a commendable individual~ I pray he succeeds in rescuing his brother from imminent execution, lest justice be denied," Fisher Tiger remarked, his words resonating with Jimbei.

Agreeing with Tiger's assessment, Jimbei contemplated his own potential as a former Shichibukai, recognizing the strength he could offer as a formidable ally to Luffy's cause.

"With my background, I may prove to be a formidable asset to Luffy," Jimbei mused, a sense of determination coloring his tone.

"Let us hope so," Tiger replied, echoing Jimbei's sentiment as they looked towards an uncertain yet hopeful future.

...

Amidst the bustling atmosphere of the Baratie Restaurant, Bentham's excitement bubbled over at the news of Jimbei and Crocodile joining Luffy's ranks, his fondness for Crocodile adding to his elation.

"Jimbei and Crocodile? What a marvelous addition!" Bentham exclaimed enthusiastically, his joy palpable.

Chuckling at Bentham's fervor, Roger interjected with a teasing tone, reminding him of Crocodile's sinister intentions.

"Ah, but remember, Crocodile's aims are hardly noble. His sights are set on Newgate's demise," Roger remarked, his laughter ringing out.

"Regardless, Crocodile's skills will undoubtedly prove invaluable to our cause," Rob stated, optimism coloring his words.

Undeterred by the reminder, Rob expressed confidence in Crocodile's potential as an ally.

Rouge, ever the supportive figure, smiled at the prospect of any strong reinforcement aiding her son's quest for justice. "Let us hope for the best," she said, her hope evident in her tone.

"Anyway, do you think they'll be able to escape from prison in time?" Olvia wondered. 

"Just watch and see, it will be an interesting journey~" said Rob, smiling.

"There's a giant hole in the ceiling and you think you'll find them here? Idiots…"

A mocking voice echoed from the cell, heard by the guards who were searching for Luffy and the others on Level 6.

"H… Head Guard Shiryu!!" The guards exclaimed, taken aback.

"Look at you… You can't do anything without me. You've really screwed things up now…" Shiryu appeared, revealed to be imprisoned on Level 6.

"This is a terrible situation… And it's Impel Down's failure. The three you're looking for also released Crocodile and Jimbei…" Shiryu announced, shocking the guards: "EH!!?"

"And they went up through that hole to Level 5."

"Why don't you go tell Magellan… That I'll lend him a hand…!!!" 

It was clear that Shiryu was also tired of staying here in Infinite Hell.

Impel Down:

"What a woeful debut, Damn you, Magellan!" Shiryu's current countenance elicited sympathy for his manga counterpart's initial plight.

"And I pondered the whereabouts of my counterpart all this while. He's been ensnared on Level 6 throughout!"

"Zehahaha! You've indeed perpetrated a vile deed!" Teach jeered with disdain.

"What implications does this hold? Is it not my duty, Chief Jailer, to mete out punishment and maintain order among the inmates?"

"Quite so, but it appears Magellan in the manga bears a grudge against you. That's the long and short of it."

Though denizens of Impel Down were oblivious to the rivalry brewing between Magellan and Shiryu, it was widely known they were akin to nemeses.

"Yet in the manga, it seems to have blossomed into genuine animosity. Hehehe~ You've sown the seeds of your own downfall, Magellan."

Brandishing his infernal blade, Shiryu departed from the Warden's quarters wearing a malevolent grin.

In his youth, he seemed even more ravenous for bloodshed than depicted in the manga.

"Zehahaha~ This shall be quite the riveting spectacle." Teach made no effort to impede him; he simply rose from his seat and trailed behind.

"Magellan… today, your demise shall come at my hands."
