The battle for Konoha had momentarily slowed, giving the defenders a chance to regroup. Amidst the chaos, an urgent conversation was unfolding that would alter the course of their efforts.
Luffy, his usual exuberance tempered by a serious concern, gathered Hana, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others. His eyes were filled with a mix of urgency and determination.
"Hana, there's something crucial we need to discuss," Luffy began, his voice steady. "It's about Ace. He's been captured and is being held at Impel Down. It's one of the most secure prisons in the world. I need your help to rescue him."
Hana's expression turned serious. "Impel Down is notoriously difficult to breach. We'll need every advantage we can get."
Luffy, eager to help, asked, "How can we get in? What's your plan?"
Hana nodded and reached for her Decade device. "I can use the Decade device to assist with the rescue. It has unique capabilities, including World Transition."
Seeing Luffy's puzzled look, Hana continued, "The Decade device allows me to transform into different Kamen Riders using Rider Cards. But more importantly, it can facilitate World Transition. This means I can create a portal to access places like Impel Down more efficiently than trying to navigate directly."
Luffy's eyes widened with understanding. "So, it can open portals to different worlds?"
"Exactly," Hana confirmed. "The World Transition feature will let us bypass much of the prison's defenses by creating a direct route inside. It's much more effective than a traditional assault."
Luffy, though understanding the strategic advantage, was insistent. "I want to come with you. I know Ace is my responsibility, and I want to help."
Hana placed a reassuring hand on Luffy's shoulder. "I understand, Luffy. Your determination is admirable, but the best way for us to succeed is for me to handle the infiltration using the Decade device. It's designed for situations like this."
Naruto, recognizing the importance of the plan, added, "Luffy, Hana's right. This is a high-risk mission. Your presence here will help us prepare for the impending battle. We need you to stay and coordinate with us."
Realizing the necessity of Hana's approach, Luffy nodded, though his concern was evident. "Alright, I'll stay and help here. But promise me you'll get Ace out safely."
Hana smiled with resolve. "I promise. I'll use the Decade device to create the best possible opportunity for rescue."
With the plan set, Hana and Luffy prepared for their respective roles. Hana readied her Decade device for the World Transition, while Luffy and the others focused on fortifying their defenses and preparing for the larger battle ahead.
As Hana activated the Decade device, a portal began to form, shimmering with the energy of dimensional travel. Luffy watched with a mix of awe and concern, knowing that the success of this mission was critical.
Hana stepped through the portal, her determination evident. The Decade device's World Transition ability provided a direct route to Impel Down, bypassing many of the prison's formidable defenses.
As Hana embarked on her mission, Luffy returned to his preparations, his mind focused on the task ahead and the rescue of his brother. The urgency of the situation highlighted the importance of every role in their collective struggle.
With Hana and Luffy working towards their respective goals, the stage was set for a decisive confrontation. The rescue mission and the impending battle were now intertwined, with each action and strategy playing a crucial role in the broader fight against their enemies.
The future of their worlds hinged on their combined efforts, and the convergence of their strengths would determine the outcome of the conflicts ahead.
