Luffy: I'M ALL BETTER~~~~~!!!!
People: Whooooooooaaahhhhhh!!! He took in all the energy~~~!!! // What the heck are you?!!! That's just not human!!! // Getting poisoned by Magellan and actually surviving...!!! / What a guy!!!
Luffy: Ahh!
People: And he won out over the poison in just twenty hours!!! / Now that's what I call a miracle!!!
Ivankov: A "miracle"...... / This is far beyond a mere "miracle"...
BonClay: .........!!! // Thank goodness...
Luffy: Bon-chan!! You're okay!!
BonClay: Oh, don't be silly~~~!!! Stop jo~~~~~kin' around~~~~~~!!! // That should be my lin...

Luffy: ?!! // Bon-chan......!! Hey...!!! // Are you okay?! Speak to me!!!
Ivankov: It's extreme exhaustion... nothing to do with his wounds.
Luffy: ......Ah... Iva-chan!
People: "Iva-chan"??!
Luffy: We survived...!! Thank you so much for saving us both!!!
Ivankov: If you vish to thank somebody...... / ...it's Mr. 2 there who you should really be thanking............!!
Luffy: ?!
Ivankov: All that I did vas to lend you a little of the power I possess. / He, however...

7
Ivankov: ...spent hours, and hours, and still hours more... / ...standing right here vith you, suffering alongside you... / ...and screaming all the vhile... // "Hang in there"... "Don't give up"... / ...until his throat vas cracking and he vas coughing blood......!!!
Luffy: .........
Ivankov: I cannot begin to imagine that his effort... / ...could have failed to affect your recovery somehow!!!
Luffy: ......... / ...I see...
Flashback!BonClay: Straw-chan!!! // I'm here to save you!!!
Luffy: ......Bon-chan, thank you!!!! // I am in your debt!!!!

8
Inazuma: Your clothes and hat. / However, you have thus far only avoided immediate peril. // You must rest for a few days more... / ...before it can be said that you have truly recovered.
Luffy: *pant* // *pant* // I don't have that kind of time! I've wasted too much time here already... // Sorry, but could you guys take care of Bon-chan for me?! / I'll come back for him later! // Ahh...
People: Whoa, whoa...!! // Just look at yourself... the fatigue is still affecting you terribly!!
Luffy: The paper is still pointing down!! / Ace is below here... hm? Wait, where exactly am I, anyway?!
People: What's that?
Ivankov: A Vivre Card... / Since you have recovered, I doubt ve vill be able to stop you... / ...from going to your brother's aid at this point...... // Vell, it is your life...... you may do vith it as you vish......

9
Luffy: Hey, Iva-chan, are you gonna break out of Impel Down?! / Bon-chan came down all that way because he wanted to break your ass outta here, after all!
People: Y... "your ass"??!
Luffy: Could you maybe tell me where Ace is being held while you're at it?
Ivankov: Vat is all this now?! Bon-boy came here to save me? / Mmmmfufu... is that so! He really is a little sweetie, isn't he... // Still, I vill settle for just the sentiment. The time is not yet right for me to break out of here. // Ve are aware in here of the situation in the outside vorld... right now, with the Marines and the Vhitebeard Pirates at the centre... / ...the vorld is truly beginning to move. However, that man has yet to act. // The man behind all the revolutionaries in this vorld... / ...and my personal compatriot...... "Dragon the Revolutionary"!!
Luffy: Oh... // You mean my dad.
Ivankov: ...Indeed. The day your father leads his army to var... / ...is the day I vill emerge into the outside vorld once more, and hurl myself into the fray! // After all, vere I to escape at this point... / ...I vould merely be exposing myself to the risk of recapture.
Luffy: .........

10
Ivankov: ...Your FATHER?!!
People: That guy's your father?!!
Luffy: ?
Ivankov: I...!! I...!! Impossible!!! You say you are Dragon's son?!! He has a son?!!
Luffy: Oh, yeah... maybe that was meant to be a secret. // Well, whatever... Gramps told me, after all. // I don't really know him, myself. I've never even seen his face.
Ivankov: (That only makes his story seem all the more true!! He does not seem the type to tell lies... and he is one of the supernovas of the pirate vorld... // Not to mention that unearthly vill to live that he just displayed...!!! He is no ordinary man...!!! Vat he says makes sense...!!!) // ...Say... vhere do you come from......?

11
Luffy: East Blue.
Ivankov: !!! // I knew it......!! // (Dragon.........)
Flashback!Ivankov: You know, vhen the vinds begin to blow... / ...you always face in the same direction... no matter vhere you may be...
Flashback!Dragon: ...Is that right? You pick up on the strangest things. ...I hadn't noticed it myself.
Flashback!Ivankov: ...Could it be your animal homing instincts then, perhaps? Is that direction where your homeland lies? // Do you have family you left behind in the eastern seas? ......Hmm?
Flashback!Dragon: ......Enough prying into my personal history, Iva...!!
Flashback!Ivankov: Mmmmfufu... my apologies...
Ivankov: ............!! // (.........but if it is true...!! If this Strawhat-boy truly is the son of Dragon himself...!!!)

12
Ivankov: Inazuma!!! Find out the departure time of the Ace-boy's transport for me!!!
Inazuma: As you wish.
Ivankov: Ve have no time to lose...!! If the Vivre Card is still pointing downwards, then he has still not been taken away...!! / I vill be accompanying the Strawhat-boy down to Level Six immediately!!
Luffy: Oh? You're going to take me there?! Wait... Level Six?! // So he's not on Level Five?! Well, whatever... thank you!! Let's go!!
Ivankov: (How careless I am!! I never even imagined... But if the Strawhat-boy truly is Dragon's son, then his brother, the Ace-boy, must also be Dragon's own son...!! Are the Marines aware of vat they are doing?!! // ...No, I see no advantage to the Marines in drawing out both Vhitebeard and Dragon at the same time!! Vat are they thinking?!! // At any rate... the time for escape has come!!!)
Luffy: Well then, Bon-chan... I'll be back for you later, okay?!
Ivankov: Strawhat-boy!! Vat you have just revealed is not a piece of information that should be spread lightly!!
Luffy: ......Yeah, I thought it might not be.
Ivankov: I am one of your father's nakama!! / A leader in the Revolutionary Army!!! That is vhy I vas imprisoned... / As such, I have a duty to support you in your task!! // I cannot allow the son of my comrade to go to his death before my very eyes!!!

13
Ivankov: Send vord to all residents of Newkama Land! As of this moment... / ...ve intend to rescue the Ace-boy from his peril, and subsequently to escape from Impel Down itself!! / Anybody who vishes to accompany us should assemble here, prepared for the vorst, and ready for battle!!
People: Whaaaat?!!! All of a sudden?!!!
Ivankov: Decisions are always sudden!!!
Luffy: All right! You just hang in there, Ace!!! // I'm coming for you~~~!!! // ...ahhhh...
Ivankov: Ahh...!! His pulse...
People: His pulse is gone?!
Ivankov: ...is there!
People: It's there?!!!
Ivankov: Emporio: Vigour Hormones!!!
Luffy: Nghh!!!
Ivankov: That was an adrenaline boost.........!! For the next day, you vill be able to ignore your fatigue!!
Luffy: Ahhh...!!
Ivankov: As for the heavy after-effects that vill manifest on the following day... vell, I doubt they are important to you right now!

14
Hannyabal: Mr. 2... Mr. 3... / Buggy the Clown... // You are absolutely certain that it was these three men who entered Level Five?
Gaolers: Indeed... the disguise was perfect... // However, the only thing that has been discovered in Level Five is this bloodstained headdress... // It seems likely that, after freeing Straw Hat Luffy from his cell... all four of them became food for the wolves... // If not, then they have outwitted us yet again... / ...and both the Chief and yourself are likely in danger of losing your positions...
Hannyabal: Whaaaat?!!! Me as well?!!
[Box: Inside the lift to Level Six]
Domino: You are late!
Magellan: Strict as ever, eh, Domino...
Domino: Make sure you finish what you are doing with greater haste in future!!
Magellan: That's a little...
Domino: The prisoner is to be handed over at the main entrance, at 9:00 AM sharp. / Accomplishing this is our duty. If we fail to do so, it will be a heavy stain upon our records.

15
[Box: Impel Down, main entrance]
MarineDude: We are to take custody of Portgas D Ace here... // ...and transport him to Marinford, home of Marine HQ!! And from now until the moment we hand him over there... // ...not one of you is to let your guard down for an instant!!!
Marines: Yessir!!!
MarineDude: Be prepared for any eventuality!! This operation is to be carried out in a convoy... // ...consisting of five battleships, commanded by five Marine Vice-Admirals!!! Steel yourselves for the task ahead!!!
Marines: Yessir!!!
[Box: Level Five]
Inazuma: Now, let us hurry. There is not a single minute to waste!!
Luffy: Aaaaahhhh~~~!!! For some reason, I feel completely full of energy!!
Ivankov: If ve do not vorry about keeping ourselves hidden, there isn't too far to go!!! // Let's dash for it vith all ve have~~~~~~~~~~!!!

16
Wolves: Grrrrrr... // Grrrrrrr...
Prisoners: What the hell...?! Somebody's running out there?! // Hey... isn't that Ivankov, the one who was supposedly dead...?!! // No way...
Wolves: Grrrrrr...
Luffy: Move it!!! Out of our way!!!
Wolves: Graoohhh!!!

17
Wolves: ?!!
Ivankov: Death Wink!!! // Inazuma!! The key!!
Inazuma: Indeed. // There are guards beyond this point.
Luffy: Bring 'em on!!
[Box: Monitor room]
Gaolers: !!! // Suspicious individuals sighted!! / Somebody is passing through the passage from Level Five to Level Six!! // !!! This huge man......!!!

18
Gaolers: Is that not the Okama Queen... the one who went missing years ago... Ivankov?!! // What's going on?! Where the heck has he been hiding all these years?!! // And beside him... that's the intruder from yesterday, Straw Hat Luffy!!! / I thought he had been eliminated by the Chief's poison...?! // What's more... this is another disappeared prisoner, originally from Level Five. / Inazuma, revolutionary from South Blue!!! // What's going on?!! / They're heading straight for Level Six!! They must be after Fire Fist Ace!! // Domino-san and Chief Magellan are on their way to Level Six as we speak... / ...At this rate, they're sure to run into the intruders!!! // Ahh...
Hannyabal: These guys were still alive?!! // Activate the traps in that passage immediately. / And send word to the Level Six gaolers' room to prepare for combat!! / They have to hold out until Sadi-chan can get there with the Demon Guards!! // And report this situation to Chief Magellan and all floors right away!! That's all... so hop to it!!!
Gaolers: (The Vice-Chief is actually getting serious...!! // Is this not a fake?!!)

19
Luffy: I have to make it... I have to make it!!! // *pant* // *pant* // I'm coming for you, Ace!!!
[Box: Level Six]
Jimbei: .........
Magellan: Well, then... // ...Portgas D Ace. // I hereby take you into custody... // ...for transportation to your execution ground... // ...Marinford!!!
