Day of execution of Portgas D. Ace.... 8:30 am....

"Wifey.... Time to wake up. We got to go."

Lepus tried to wake his two new wives who were still asleep in bed.

Not long after, they got up and took turns to shower.

About an hour later, the three of them who had finished bathing and prepared to leave, then headed to the hall at Level 5.5.

As they walked down the corridor, they saw a lot of Level 5.5 residents looking busy here and there. However, they were not so surprised or cared about it. The three of them kept walking towards the hall looking for Ivankov and the others.

Arriving in the hall, they found Ivankov, Inazuma, Luffy, Jinbei, and Crocodile sitting there.

Lepus wasn't surprised to see the two former Sichibukai here. Because he knew it was Luffy who freed them to help escape from this Impel Down.

Seeing Lepus as well as Morrigan and Olive coming, some of them except Ivankov and Inazuma were slightly surprised.

"Rex! You're here too!?"

Luffy exclaimed in surprise because he didn't know that Lepus was also at this Level 5.5.

"Yeah...."

Lepus only answered briefly.

Then Ivankov asked Lepus.

"Kara-boy, we'll getting out of this Impel Down. How about you three?"

Lepus nodded slightly and answered.

"We're going too...."

"Oh! Good that you're coming too! Shishishishishi!"

Hearing that Lepus was going to ally with them to break out of Impel Down to the outside, Luffy looked happy.

But sadly, he had to be disappointed. Because Lepus denied it.

"Who said? The three of us will go alone."

""What!?""

Luffy and Ivankov were quite surprised to hear Lepus' statement. Because they thought that if Lepus helped with his ability to open space, they would be able to leave more easily and quickly.

Lepus then talk again.

"Why do we have to come with you and bother going through Levels one by one to get to the surface? And besides, do you think you guys can leave Impel Down just like that once you're outside? Did you forget this is the Calm Belt? Do you want to serve yourself as banquet for the Sea Kings?"

"Ah!!"

Luffy and Ivankov remembered their situation after hearing Lepus' words.

Lepus then continued talking.

"So, we'll be kind-hearted to go ahead and help you guys get a warship."

Hearing Lepus' explanation, they finally nodded in understanding.

""Oh, I see! I understand!""

Lepus nodded slightly then said.

"Okay. We'll go first.... Good luck~."

Then Lepus opened the gap and left with Morrigan and Olive.

Some time later, at the Impel Down entrance pier....

"W-Wait! We're not asking for reinforcements! We're currently in an emergency situation, and there's no one to accompany you! We have to confirm your arrival to Marineford first!"

A guard, trying to stop the arrival of a group of people who suddenly came to Impel Down without confirmation.

However, the sudden group of people kept walking and then a man with a black beard, Marshall D. Teach, smirked saying.

"That's not necessary.... We're allies, right?"

Hearing Teach's words, the guard was even more confused.

"B-But, pirates can't..."

Even though Teach is a Sichibukai, still shouldn't come to Impel Down without permission!

But then suddenly the guard and the other guards were sucked in by the darkness that appeared beneath them!

""""Uwaahhh!!!???""""

They panicked and struggled! But it's no use!

"Don't reject us.... We're also on the Government's side, right? Zehahahaha!"
