Chapter's Events:

—————————

«Bon-chan!!!» exclaimed Luffy.

«Hey!! Can you hear me!? Bon-chan!!!»

«Why did you do this again!!? It's just like last time!!!»

The voice of Luffy speaking through the Den Den Mushi sounded frustrated at this moment.

(Jimbei!!! You promised not to say anything until the line was cut!!!)

Bon Clay, hearing Luffy's scolding, felt deeply angered towards Jimbei.

«Weren't we going to escape together!!?»

«You…!! You were always saving me!!!»

Luffy yelled, expressing his frustration and complex emotions.

…

..

«Bon-chan…!!! The gates are closing!!»

«We're going ahead!!!»

«THANK YOU!!!»

Hearing that, Bon Clay could no longer hold back his tears as his face turned into a crying face, especially after hearing the gratitude of everyone on the escaping vessel.

…

«Straw-chan!!!»

"Bon-chan!!" Luffy was surprised after finally hearing Bon-chan's voice.

«Make sure you save your brother!!!»

«If it's you… I'm sure…»

After saying these words, the line cut off... As the Gates of Justice closed completely behind them.

"Bon-chan!!" 

"Bon-bro!!!"

…

"If it weren't for him… We'd be on the other side of these gates, at the bottom of the ocean…!!!" Ivankov confessed.

…

{Even in Hell, the single flower known as friendship blooms.}

{As waves break on the shore, it leaves its petals as mementos.}

{May it one day bloom again Okama Way.}

Mr. 2 Bon Clay.

…

"BON-CHAAAAAAN!!!"

Luffy, Buggy, Mr. 3, Ivankov, and the rest of the escapees were crying bitterly at this moment after realizing the immense sacrifice that allowed them to escape unharmed.

…

"Do you have any last words!!?"

The veins on Magellan's head were about to burst from the swelling.

(Let us meet again… In the okama fields…)

On the other hand, Bon Clay showed no fear:

"I have no regrets," he said.

…

[At this time, 241 prisoners have successfully escaped the world's greatest sea floor prison, Impel Down.]

[This would come to be known as Impel Down's greatest failure — but the history didn't end there.]

[Time left until Portgas D. Ace's execution: Four hours.]

•———•———•———•———•———•

This scene left a deep impression on most readers worldwide.

As most had already finished reading the volume, this final scene had the deepest impact on their psyche.

On board the Oro Jackson:

"... What a hero… The only okama with true manliness there." 

Buggy cried bitterly in the same way as his counterpart in the manga at this moment.

"This is wonderful… What a real man." 

Shanks wiped away a small tear that formed on his smiling face at this moment.

"He was the only one capable of such a suicidal mission, but that doesn't mean he was forced to sacrifice himself…"

"He did it for his friend, without any regret or hesitation…" Rayleigh smiled as he watched the clash between Magellan and Bon Clay. 

"... His courage and fearlessness in the face of Magellan when Magellan almost killed Luffy left an indelible regret in his heart…"

"He's a real man, that's how sacrifice should be, strong and meaningful!" 

Both Gaban and the rest of Roger's Pirates members cheered from the depths of their hearts.

"In truth, I was expecting Buggy to sacrifice himself like this…"

"What!? Are you kidding?"

 ... 

Fish-Man Island:

"Among humans, there are indeed men worthy of praise."

"But among these men deserving of praise, only one of them deserves the greatest salute and appreciation from the heart."

"... This man is Bon-chan! Jamon."

"... Indeed."

Upon hearing this from King Neptune, both Jimbei, Tiger, Hatchan, Arlong, and the others who were affected by Bon-chan's powerful sacrifice nodded in agreement.

"... I hope from the bottom of my heart that Magellan doesn't kill him and return him to prison only."

"Will Luffy come back to save him later?"

"He must do so after saving Ace, right?"

"If I were Luffy, my conscience wouldn't let me sleep properly after all this if I didn't come back to rescue Bon Clay from prison too…"

Fishman readers were in an emotional state as they felt pity for Bon Clay's fate.

…

"Uuuuweeeh!! That's suuuper touching...!! I can't stop my tears... A real man! He's a real man!"

"See?! I told you not all perverts are bad!"

"You'll live in my heart forever, Bon-chan! Waaaah!" 

Franky was crying heavily like Luffy and the others in the manga; the sacrifice of the okama Bon Clay deeply affected him.

"Wow~ This is amazing... I'm speechless in the face of such a great sacrifice. I hope he stays alive." 

Even Tom was shocked by this moving scene. Bon Clay's poetic words left him at a loss for words.

 ...

 Marigoa:

The hall of justice was dark as usual, but it seemed even darker at this moment.

"... I want to kill someone right now to vent."

"Unfortunately, all the slaves from Marigoa have disappeared, or else I would have gotten a slave to drain to death,"

"I see that anger at manga events is just a waste of time and emotional effort."

"In fact, we should be happy about such a situation." The bald Gorosei, who was in a good mood after finishing the volume unlike the rest of the Gorosei, smiled.

"Do you mean to say that seeing such a result will help us avoid a similar outcome later… right?" 

Before Saint Nasjuro could finish his words, Saint Saturn intervened, saying so.

"... That's right…" Saint Nasjuro nodded.

"... Look at the amount of laughter and ridicule Impel Down is receiving in the global forum… the prison that was known as the invincible hell in the past has become a mere joke after this volume."

"A boy who didn't even know how to walk properly in the new world managed to break into it, extract a considerable number of allies from it, and leave without losing a single part of his body, regardless of the ten years he had to sacrifice to survive, ... Isn't this a joke?"

"… Another ally of the World Government stabbed us in the back and entered the prison shamelessly to choose a variety of criminals and pirates for his crew as if Impel Down became an open store for the damned Blackbeard…!!"

"How can we not be angry?!"

Veins appeared on Saint Venus's forehead, the previously calm mood reflected and became angry as well.

"I want to kill someone… too…" he said while drawing his sword from its sheath.

"Shall we go to kill Teach? He's in our hands now…"

…

Ohara:

After finishing the volume, Rob returned to his art palace.

"My dear ones~ I missed you all~"

After an intimate embrace with Sora, Toki, and also Stussy, along with some hot kisses, he disappeared from sight towards his private sanctuary.

"It seems a new update from the manga has arrived..."

Rob was happy to be able to stack another chapter with the previously stacked chapters, as he now read 5 chapters at a time.

So, he had to wait each time to gather 5 chapters before he could read them.

Now, it seems the fifth chapter after stacking has finally been released, so he was very happy.

But suddenly his expression changed, because what came out of the magazine wasn't a chapter but an apology from 'Oda' and a postponement for a month... and the reason...

"Akira... Toriyama... passed away?"

Rob felt a deep shock and sadness at this moment, most of his childhood memories as a real person flooded his mind like a river through a broken dam.

He remembered how he used to watch Dragon Ball happily after every return from a boring school session, how the anime Dragon Ball shaped his life and personality and his intense passion for the wonderful world of anime, where he was the gateway and the beginning of all that passion.

All this had been established because of this man named Akira Toriyama... who could be considered the man who opened up an unlimited world of creativity and imagination, which allowed the creation of every Multiverse in the world of anime and web novels as well.

Without realizing it, Rob, who had regained his buried childhood from planet Earth, began to cry.

"...Death may not be the end for a great personality like you," Rob wiped his tears with a smile after remembering the fate he received and his incarnation in this world.

"Thank you, and I hope you find the peace you are looking for, the creator of happiness for an entire generation."
