Shortly after Lepus left Level 6 of Impel Down, he opened the gap again and get out while carrying Morrigan.

"Uwaah!!"

"You are!?"

Some people were surprised by the sudden appearance of Lepus and Morrigan!

But Lepus just smiled a little and then said to them.

"Heya, can you guys please call Ivankov?"

After hearing Lepus' request, one of them then left.

Currently, Lepus and Morrigan are at Level 5.5 of Impel Down, Newkama Land! And the leader here is Queen of Okama, Emporio Ivankov, who is also the Queen of the Kamabakka Kingdom and a top brass of the Revolutionary Army!

".... Where is this?"

Morrigan asked somewhat puzzled by the atmosphere here.

Lepus then answered it.

"Still in Impel Down. It's Level 5.5 here. A hidden level somewhere between Level 5 and 6. Long ago there was a prisoner with the power of digging who made this hidden place."

".... I see. I didn't know there was a place like this in Impel Down."

Morrigan was quite surprised to see a 'heaven' in this 'hell'.

Not long after, someone with curly purple hair and a big body came, Ivankov. And someone who looks half white and half orange in appearance, Inazuma.

"Mmfufufufufu.... You're looking for me, Kara-boy?"

Ivankov said casually to Lepus.

But, after seeing Morrigan who was still in Lepus' arms, Ivankov looked surprised!

"Ventwill Morrigan!? Kara-boy, you freed this woman!?"

"Yeah. Is there a problem?"

Lepus was confused as to why Ivankov looked so surprised.

"Not really."

Ivankov replied dryly.

"Then why are you surprised? Hahh~...."

Lepus sighed.

Ivankov then crossed his arms and explained.

"No.... It's just that we know her history.... Ventwill Morrigan. The former 3rd Princess of the Ventwill Kingdom in the New World. She was arrested for massacring the King, Crown Prince, and several other Princes of the Ventwill Kingdom. She then became a fugitive worth 184 million Berries before finally being captured by Admiral Aokiji.... There are rumors that she carried out the massacre because of their cruel and despicable acts. But I don't know if that's true or not."

Hearing Ivankov's explanation, Lepus then asked Morrigan.

"Is that true?"

Morrigan then coldly replied.

".... It's half true. I'm not the one who killed them, the WG who disposed them to cover some truth. But indeed I'm assault them till half-dead. They're so disgusting."

"Oh, well.... It doesn't matter to me."

Lepus didn't ask further and questioned Morrigan's past. Because that's the past. What matters to him is the present and the future.

Then, Lepus spoke to Ivankov.

"Ivankov, save that rubber brat later."

"Mm? Why?"

Ivankov was confused as to why Lepus suddenly told him to save Luffy. Indeed, Ivankov and others at Level 5.5 witnessed how Luffy 'adventured' in Impel Down. But for them it's just entertainment. There's no reason to help him.

But, Lepus then with a serious face said.

"Just do it. Otherwise, you'll regret it and won't have the face to see your old friend.... Trust me."

"What do you mean?"

Ivankov was still confused.

But Lepus did not want to explain further.

"Don't ask.... You'll understand yourself soon."

Seeing Lepus who didn't seem to be joking, Ivankov finally gave a small nod.

"Mm.... Alright."

After that, Lepus spoke again.

"Could you guys help me to find out about a green-haired female prisoner named Olive? Her bounty used to be 50 million Berries. She should be held at Level 3 or 4."

Hearing Lepus' request, Ivankov chuckled then answered.

"Mmfufufufufu.... If it's Olive, she's here."

"Huh? Here?"

Lepus was a little surprised that he would find the person he was looking for so easily.

Ivankov then explained.

"She's a longtime resident of this Level 5.5. Even longer than me."

Hearing that, Lepus then nodded slightly.

"Good then.... I want to see her."

"Olive is in her room. Inazuma, take Kara-boy over there."

"Okay...."

Inazuma then led Lepus and Morrigan to Olive's room.
