Marineford:

"Shanks and Kaido? Seriously?"

After overcoming the shock of the new appointments in Impel Down, Sengoku stood, adding two new names to the explanation board. 

He circled Shanks and Kaido on the part of the new world map; the red line separated them from the war zone, Marineford.

"Well, it seems Shanks is disrupting the plans of one of the madmen of this era..." Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief after understanding what was unfolding.

"A dispute between two of the four emperors is a situation that we can't interfere with..." 

"Quite amusing, Momonga... How can you say such things?" Akainu slammed the table in front of him forcefully, glaring harshly at Momonga.

Momonga almost spilled the coffee he had just drunk on Akainu, who was sitting opposite him.

"But I haven't really said anything... I have no connection to what my future counterpart says and does. I, as of now, don't know what truly happens in the future..." Momonga calmly responded, accustomed to such matters. Akainu had been complaining about him repeatedly since his appearance in the manga.

"That's nonsense; you in the manga is you in reality. How can you not trust in the Navy's capabilities as a vice admiral? It's shameful..."

"Well, Sakazuki... Maybe what Momonga says in the manga is true. We might not be able to intervene in a conflict between emperors." This time, Sengoku spoke.

"We'll see how it ends with just one emperor soon, so let's postpone judgments for later."

...

In the New World, where Oro Jackson is located:

"You've been mentioned in the manga again, Shanks..." said Rayleigh.

"Oh, that's something to be proud of..." replied Shanks.

"Heh~ I didn't say that even I, who has appeared in every chapter so far~" Buggy mocked Shanks's sense of pride.

"It seems my counterpart in the manga is quite busy in the background. He'll eventually show up in the best way possible." Shanks commented, mocking Buggy.

"Are you saying you'll steal the spotlight in the end!? That's something you damn well do!"

"Stop your fighting, you scoundrels!"

"You're disturbing the peace of this place."

"Hmph! I hope Kaido crushes you..."

Chapter 533's Events: 

—————————

{Impel Down, Level 3, Inside the Chimney}

"There's no way!! We're not going to Level 4!!" exclaimed Buggy and Mister 3.

"Why?" asked Luffy.

"What do you mean, why!!?" "The inferno hell's down there, you know!!?"

"We want to escape here! Escape!!!" 

"Yeah, we're trying to go up!! Up!!" Buggy and Galdino both pointed upwards.

But it seemed Luffy wasn't paying attention: "Uwah! A huge lump of blood came out of my nose!"

"Are you even listening!!?"

"Straw-chan, just leave them. They're just little nothings with no balls." mocked Bon Clay.

"Who're you calling a big nosed clown!!?" Buggy shouted at Mister 2 with hatred.

"What!? Is that what you hear when I talk!!? All right, I've decided!! I'm... turning!!" Bon Clay wondered and decided not to care.

While Luffy and Mister 3 were drawn to the ceiling that seemed to be getting farther away. 

"Hey, the ceiling's getting higher." said Luffy.

"Oh, you're right. And it's making a weird noise. I wonder what kind of trick they're pulling..." nodded Mister 3, who noticed the same thing.

"We're falling!!! Aaahh!!!" Realization came too late.

"Oh, crap! My Muggy Ball was so strong that it broke the floor!" exclaimed Buggy. 

"No!! It was because my punch was too strong!!!" shouted Luffy. 

"No, it was because my kick was too violent!!!" added Mister 2. 

"No no, it was my Doru Doru… uh... my… uh… never mind…" muttered Mister 3.

"You've got nothing!!!"

"We're gonna burn up!!!" 

The four of them yelled as they headed towards the flaming pool of blood.

•———•———•———•———•———•

Ahahahahaha!!

"Hahahahah!!!"

The crew's laughter echoed after witnessing this scene and the ridiculous interaction among the quartet. Seeing how they fell towards Level 4 made the members of Roger's pirates burst into laughter.

Buggy trembled as he witnessed his future counterpart being tortured along with Luffy, being dragged into the literal depths of hell since the moment he met him!

"No! I must not get close to this boy in the future!"

"I must stay away from him no matter what happens!"

At that moment, Buggy decided to keep his distance from Luffy whenever he saw him in the future.

Just being near him would get you into trouble, whether you liked it or not!

"Magellan is waiting for us in the depths of this hell! Oh, my God, this is the end!"

"Well, at least I saw the power of my Muggy Ball because of that…"

The fellas shook their heads in resignation; after all, Buggy was Buggy, whether the one who accompanied them or the Buggy who accompanied Luffy.

In their eyes, the upcoming events would become even more thrilling! 

… 

Ohara:

"The fourth floor finally, Hehehe~"

"I want to see how Luffy will survive this monster named Magellan…"

"Fufu~ It will be an interesting fight indeed!" Doffy laughed while flipping through the manga pages; he was genuinely interested in the events of this volume.

After all, this was a prelude to the Summit War in which his manga counterpart would personally participate!

Why not be excited?

"Luffy won't lose, right?" asked Rosinante anxiously.

"And who knows… this devil-like man is the prison warden… you saw how his poison made that foul-mouthed prisoner melt, didn't you?"

"It will be an extremely painful experience for Luffy in his fight…"

"Does Luffy have immunity to poison like he does to lightning?" Enel wondered, recalling how Luffy fought his counterpart in the manga.

"Does rubber have anti-poison properties?" Rosinante tilted his head.

Then he heard Vegapunk, who was very advanced in reading despite his slow pace.

"No, poison is very dangerous to the flesh of creatures. Even if the flesh has rubber properties, it will be consumed by the poison at the same rate as flesh without rubber properties."

Vegapunk's answer was clear and straightforward.

"If only Luffy knew Haki, he wouldn't be in such a situation…"

"It seems he's on his way to another disastrous loss similar to what happened in the archipelago…"

"Don't remind me of what happened in the archipelago, please. I'm not ready to experience that feeling of sorrow again…"

"I hope Luffy succeeds in saving Ace quickly…"
