Luffy and Boa Hancock were sent into Impel Down? Is this part of the original storyline?
It shouldn't be! Ace didn't go to Impel Down, so why are Luffy and Boa Hancock there?
With confusion clouding his mind, Buggy hurried to the banquet hall!
Upon arriving, Buggy was met with a shocking sight!
The large screen in the middle of the banquet hall was displaying surveillance footage from the Impel Down elevator.
In the footage, Luffy and Boa Hancock, shackled with Seastone cuffs and looking very distressed, were being escorted by Hannyabal, the deputy warden of Impel Down, deeper into the prison!
What's going on? Luffy was captured?
Wait, is he trying to save Ace at Marine Headquarters?
Buggy's mind raced, quickly arriving at a possible explanation!
With Luffy's character, he would go to any lengths, even infiltrate Marine Headquarters. If Ace were imprisoned in Mary Geoise, Luffy would still try to save him!
As for Boa Hancock, she's driven by love!
"Hey, Buggy, come and look! How did the Straw Hat kid get captured?" Ivankov called out to Buggy from the door of the banquet hall.
Buggy walked slowly into the hall, replying calmly, "If my guess is correct, he must have gone to Marine Headquarters to save Ace!"
Ivankov was stunned, finding it hard to believe!
Going to Marine Headquarters alone to rescue someone? What kind of reckless person would come up with such an idea!
At this point, Luffy's reckless nature is completely different from the cautious Dragon!
Ivankov began to doubt if Luffy really was Dragon's son after all!
Buggy, however, wasn't concerned with Ivankov's thoughts. His interest was piqued by Boa Hancock standing next to Luffy.
Even from Buggy's perspective, with his experience of seeing countless beauties, Boa Hancock's appearance and figure were exceptional. She truly lived up to her title as the most beautiful woman in the world, officially recognized by the pirates!
It's a pity that the personality is too extreme! Whether it's the bad behavior shown to others or the intense love for Luffy, it's a little unacceptable.
Somehow, Buggy suddenly thought of Alvida, the woman he had been with during the Grand Line voyage from the East Blue.
Buggy's memory doesn't include what Alvida used to look like, only her appearance after eating the Smooth-Smooth Fruit.
And she's different from Boa Hancock! Still, it's a pity that Alvida's personality is just as bad, and she seems more suited to be a brother!
"Hey! Buggy boy, at a time like this, you still have the heart to look at beautiful women? Let's figure out a plan!"
Ivankov couldn't help but say angrily when he saw that Buggy had been staring at Boa Hancock on the screen without any sign of anxiety.
Buggy shrugged and said, "What can you do? Is there anything to rush about?"
Ivankov said angrily, "Of course we need to save Straw Hat Boy! He's almost locked up in the sixth basement level! It's not fit for anyone!"
Buggy spread his hands and said, "If he's locked up in the sixth basement, then so be it. We're heading to the sixth basement the day after tomorrow anyway, and when we get there, won't we just rescue him along the way?"
"That's right, rescuing Straw Hat Boy along the way would be perfect!"
Ivankov was stunned, realizing the logic in Buggy's words. He had been so worried about the chaos just now that he completely forgot they had planned to release the prisoners on the sixth floor of the basement!
Moreover, since they had already met Luffy here, it seemed like they wouldn't follow Buggy to Marineford the day after tomorrow for an adventure!
Luffy being captured might actually be a good thing for them?
Buggy was about to continue admiring the beautiful woman after dealing with Ivankov, only to find that Luffy and Boa Hancock had been escorted out of the elevator, and the screen was still stuck on the elevator.
Buggy said, "What about the rest? What about the footage outside the elevator?"
Inazuma shook his head and explained, "There's no more footage! The sixth underground floor is too heavily guarded, and we couldn't tap into their wires, so we can't see the surveillance footage from the sixth underground floor."
"That's a pity," Buggy sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll go back and continue training. You guys keep busy!"
With that, Buggy turned around and was about to walk out of the ballroom.
The new humans over there are almost rested, and they can start practicing right away when they go back!
"Wait!" Ivankov grabbed Buggy and said, "Buggy, there are some things I want to clarify with you in advance!"
Buggy stopped, looked at Ivankov, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ivankov replied solemnly, "Our agreement was to break out of Impel Down together, and I agreed to accompany you to the Marine Headquarters because you said the Straw Hat Boy would be there. But now, the Straw Hat Boy is right here in Impel Down, in front of us! So why should we still go to the Marine Headquarters with you?"
"Do as you wish! I won't restrict your actions after our jailbreak," Buggy responded indifferently, spreading his hands. But then he added meaningfully, "But who can say what the future holds?"
For Buggy, whether Ivankov and the others went to the Marine Headquarters was irrelevant.
However, knowing Luffy, Buggy was sure that if Luffy escaped from Impel Down, he would definitely head to the Marine Headquarters. What Ivankov and the others chose to do after that was their business.
Meanwhile, on the sixth underground level of Impel Down, known as the Infinite Hell.
Luffy and Boa Hancock had been placed in their respective cells.
Due to her status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Boa Hancock was given a single cell, but Luffy wasn't as fortunate and was thrown into a crowded cell!
Whether due to the Sea-Prism Stone shackles or his severe injuries, Luffy collapsed to the ground upon entering the cell.
"Hey, hey, hey, newcomers are registering!"
"Hey, does anyone recognize this kid? He looks familiar!"
"Anyone locked up here is a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million. He looks so young; could he be one of this year's supernovas?"
The prisoners in Luffy's cell surrounded him, viewing him as not just a newcomer but also as a source of amusement.
"You filthy men, stay away from Luffy!" Boa Hancock declared fiercely.
Boa Hancock noticed a group of prisoners surrounding Luffy in his cell from a distance and couldn't help but shout in anger.
"Wow, the Pirate Empress!"
"She's stunning! Is this really the face of the world's most beautiful woman?"
"What a lucky day! We'll be able to see the face of the Pirate Empress anytime from now on!"
"Hey, hey, hey."
The prisoners' attention was immediately drawn to Boa Hancock, who was far more intriguing to them than Luffy!
"You scoundrels!" Boa Hancock exclaimed in disgust. Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from her body. "Perish before me!"
Nearly half of the prisoners on the sixth floor of the basement rolled their eyes and lost consciousness.
Most of the remaining prisoners broke into a cold sweat, quickly abandoning their ill intentions and showing a look of respect and fear.
