"Eeeeh!? When was I captured and thrown into Impel Down!!!"
"How can you abandon 'me' just because a wench like Alvida said that saving me is impossible!!"
"Ahhh!! Is this the crew relied upon by the future Pirate King, Buggy-sama!?"
At this moment, Buggy was in a state of shock and anger because of his future crew members who abandoned him.
"Hahaha! What an interesting crew you'll have in the future, Buggy." Shanks laughed.
"Shut up, you fucker!!"
"Well, you should consider logic a bit. It's impossible for them to cross the Sea Kings' nest to reach Impel Down. In that regard, Alvida is right." Shanks said.
"Even if they somehow manage to reach Impel Down, they'll just be a new batch of prisoners. With their weak strength, they won't even be able to pass through the front gate, let alone save you."
"It's not like you have an 'Emperor' crew like mine, hehe~"
"Stop boasting, you bastard! Someday I'll have my own Emperor crew! You won't even be able to defeat my first mate!" Buggy shouted angrily.
"Bft! Wahahaha!" Upon hearing that, Roger's crew burst into laughter, including Gaban and Rayleigh.
"It seems like they didn't take Buggy's 'joke' seriously at all."
Because of that, the gloomy atmosphere from Ace's previous words was lightened, and the rest of the crew went back to reading chapters with smiles on their faces.
"Anything related to you appearing means fun and hearty laughter. You truly play the role of the perfect evil clown in the manga, Buggy..." Rayleigh said to Buggy with a smile.
"I want to know how I ended up in Impel Down... Luffy is going there, which means we'll meet again there! The chance to get revenge on that rubber brat is here!"
"Or maybe, I got it! I allowed them to capture me on purpose so I could save Ace! What a genius move! I, the great clown Buggy, will be the one to save the captain's son and force him to accept his father's true name!"
Upon hearing that, Roger, who was sitting with his wife at a distance, smiled.
"Maybe Buggy's appearance in this arc will bring us some surprises," he said.

"Chapter 525" Events:
—————————
[The world's greatest prison: The sea floor prison, Impel Down.]
In the background, a giant building appeared, most of its structure built underwater! The Great Sea Kings surrounded it from every side. The design of this prison was truly miraculous.
After all, everything was designed to be like hell on earth, visible from the faces of the miserable prisoners who were subjected to all kinds of torture.
"Buhaah…!!! Oweh…!!! Ah…!!! Haa…"
"Haa… Cough…"
"Gueaahhhh!!!"
"Aaaahhh…!!!"
"Please…!!! Just kill me!!!"
"Aaahhhhh!!!"
…
..
[It has been four and a half days since the ship departed from Amazon Lily.]
In the background, a massive justice gate opened, allowing the warship to enter.
"Vice Admiral Momonga!!" "We've arrived at Impel Down!!!"
"We were slowed a bit by headwinds, but…"
Momonga interrupted the soldier, saying: "No matter… Let's hurry. Get Hancock out here!!"
"Yes, sir!!"
…
"What the heck is this…?" Luffy, who was observing the situation from Hancock's room window, was shocked.
"This is the most dangerous place in the world right now. Of course, they'd come out in battle formation…" Hancock answered honestly.
"There are even more battleships… than the Buster call had…!!! So this is where Ace is…?" Luffy was sweating without consciousness, but this did not diminish his determination to save Ace.
"He's probably far beneath the surface."
"… Now quickly, into my clothes…" Hancock said.
…
..
"Buggy the clown…!? He disappeared from his cell!? Does he have a Devil Fruit power?" At this moment, a high-ranking official in the prison received information about Buggy escaping from his cell.
"Vice Chief!! Vice Admiral Momonga and The Shichibukai, Lady Hancock, have arrived!!" The prison guard reported.
"Got it, I'll be right there!!"
…
..
"Waah…🤍 S… She… She's so pretty… Come on, open the gate!!!🤍"
"Open it up!🤍"
"Open it up!🤍" At the moment Hancock appeared, the prison guards lost their composure and acted like Sanji in love.
(Here we go…!!! Luffy!!) Hancock whispered silently before entering the prison.
[Thirty-three hours remain until Ace's public execution.] The narrator continued preparations for the war drums.
•———•———•———•———•———•
Holy Land, Marigoa:
"Seriously... is this guy Momonga an idiot?"
"Don't tell me he really didn't sense anything wrong?"
"No, why would Sengoku accept the Shichibukai's request to meet 'the key to the war' in such a critical moment?"
"Even if she doesn't participate in the war as an ally, it's not important. What will another Shichibukai add to a war at this level?"
"This doesn't bode well... all the secrets of Impel Down will be exposed!"
"Isn't that good? All this time, they only heard terrifying stories about it. Today, they will see how truly terrifying it is in detail. This will help us regain the currently shaky government authority."
"Yes, people and pirates' fear of being sent to Impel Down will make them fear us even more and revere us instinctively. This will help us stabilize the situation indeed."
At this moment, the Five Elders were more enthusiastic about the discussion than ever before.
At that time, the main reason for destroying Enies Lobby was because it was secretly necessary to destroy it after its exposure, but this time, the situation would not be strict and would not require an immediate reaction like that...
This time, even if all the secrets of Impel Down are revealed, in such a cold war against Rob's organization, it might be a good thing to expose them to regain the land and the position, even if only a little.
"... Hancock will participate in the war as a reliable helper for her beloved, fufu~ I look forward to seeing how she will play behind the scenes..."
At that moment, the Five Elders heard a resonant and enchanting voice that made them instinctively stiffen.
'Lord Imu is enjoying...'
That was their common thought.
...
Marineford:
"What the heck is this...? He really made it to Impel Down! What nonsense!!!" Sengoku's angry voice echoed, not expecting Luffy to successfully enter the prison gates.
"Ace is still there..." Sengoku trembled with fear at the mere thought that the person entering the prison was the troublemaker and miracle worker! It was that Straw Hat Luffy! No matter how weak he was, he was more terrifying because he would win in a way that made you feel despair!
'How did he do it...' That will be your question when everything is over.
'The cursed plot armor! Is this what the 'destiny' of this world wants?'
"... The Whitebeard and Ace will die even if Rob himself is alive and kicking in the manga. Even if Roger comes back to life in the manga, he won't save them, Hmph!" Akainu sneered as he said that.
His sense of extreme justice was at the beginning of its peak, so he fully believed that justice would take its course in this war... after all, the winner would decide what true justice is.
From a certain perspective, he was absolutely right.
