Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Meeting Zoro?

Seeing Buggy's actions, the viewers couldn't help but feel shocked.

[Marine 1: So it was that Buggy who released all those prisoners?]

[Marine 2: To release so many vicious criminals is unforgivable!]

[Pirate 1: Hahahaha, well done! That's exactly what should be done! That Jester Buggy, I support you!]

[Civilian 1: So many prisoners were released... how are we supposed to live our lives now? They will definitely come bully us again.]

[Civilian 2: I hope the Marines can recapture all the prisoners quickly. Only then will I feel a bit at ease.]

[Civilian 3: Yes, yes! Sir Marines, you must help us! Please recapture those bad guys as soon as possible!]

[Marine 3: Don't worry. The Marines will definitely capture all those prisoners.]

[Fleet Admiral Sengoku: Citizens, please rest assured. The Marines will not let you down. We will not let a single one of those prisoners escape.]

[Akainu Sakazuki: Whether it's Straw Hat Luffy or Jester Buggy, you just wait. And all you prisoners who escaped from Impel Down, I will hunt every single one of you down!]

[Red-Haired Shanks: Hahahaha, Buggy, you met Luffy, huh?]

[Buggy the Clown: Shut up, Shanks!]

[Civilian 4: What? That Jester Buggy actually knows Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Yonko?]

[Civilian 5: That's really surprising.]

[Pirate 2: But how do they know each other?]

Impel Down Group

Seeing the exchange between Buggy and Shanks, the escaped prisoners felt even greater respect for Buggy.

"He actually dared to tell Red-Haired Shanks, a Yonko, to shut up! Captain Buggy is truly amazing!"

"Right, right! I think Captain Buggy is the only one who would dare talk to a Yonko like that!"

"It seems following Captain Buggy was the right choice!"

"Yes! Long live Captain Buggy!"

"Oh! Long live Captain Buggy!"

Hearing the cheers, Buggy, who had been scared of being targeted by the Marines, couldn't help but start bragging again.

He excitedly reassured the prisoners a few times and then began boasting about his strength.

Then, suddenly, someone asked: "Captain Buggy, how do you know that Red-Hair?"

Buggy coughed and said, "Well, that's a long story..."

He began to explain to everyone. Meanwhile, the video on the sky screen continued without interruption.

〖After Buggy released the prisoners on Level 2, they all ran out cheering.

But shortly after, they all returned to their cells.

Buggy was puzzled. "What are you doing? Why are you going back? Don't you want to escape?"

The prisoners ignored him and instead shut their cell doors even tighter.

Although these people were unwilling to escape, one person did step forward, offering to help Luffy and the others escape.

When this person appeared, he spoke to Luffy with a deep and profound air, but Luffy had already forgotten who he was.

It was only by his distinctive hairstyle that Luffy finally recognized him.

It was the former Baroque Works agent, Mr. 3 Galdino, a subordinate of Sir Crocodile.

The three then began escaping together. However, they ran into the guardian of the Wild Beast Hell, the Sphinx.

The three were somewhat surprised by the powerful guardian beast.

Upon seeing them, the guardian beast spoke directly: "Plain Noodles."

The three were confused.

Then the Sphinx said again: "Ramen."

Luffy's trio still didn't respond, so the Sphinx proceeded to list several more types of noodles.

As it spoke, it attacked the three with its claws, but they managed to dodge.

Mr. 3 even used his ability to create several wax statues to distract the Sphinx.

In the end, however, the three did not succeed in defeating the Sphinx.

Instead, due to the Sphinx continuously slamming the ground, Luffy's group and the Sphinx all fell down to Level 3 together.〗

[Pirate 1: I never expected Mr. 3, Galdino, to also join the escape team. Will this team just keep getting longer?]

[Pirate 2: Very likely! Don't forget, when Straw Hat and the others descended upon the Summit War, they brought a whole warship full of prisoners!]

[Pirate 3: But to be honest, Impel Down is really terrifying. The fact that Straw Hat and the others managed to escape from it is beyond imagination.]

[Pirate 4: Right. Although Straw Hat is young, his strength can't be underestimated. Given time, he will undoubtedly become a force to be reckoned with.]

[Civilian 1: But you have to admit, their luck is really something. First, they accidentally ended up on Level 2. Now the enemy directly helps them get to Level 3. In a way, their luck is kinda enviable.]

[Civilian 2: Yeah, yeah! I thought they would have to work very hard to find the passage. I never expected the result to be so... dramatic.]

On the sky screen, the fact that Luffy's trio reached Level 3 with the Sphinx's "help" made some people envy their luck.

In the video, Luffy and the others had already arrived at Level 3, reaching a vast, endless desert.

〖The desert stretched as far as the eye could see and looked scorching hot.

Luffy's trio traveled on it for a long time but found no clues about an exit.

After searching for a long time, further hampered by the Sphinx's mischief, they found nothing.

They could only collapse exhausted on the ground.

Suddenly, a large net appeared, capturing Luffy's trio along with the Sphinx.

Just as Luffy and the others were about to be captured by Saldeath, the Sphinx suddenly woke up and began struggling violently.

As the legendary Sphinx, its strength was immense.

Soon, the large net couldn't bear the strain and was torn apart, allowing Luffy to escape.

After escaping, he immediately attacked the responsible parties and quickly defeated them all.

Afterward, Luffy separated from Buggy and Mr. 3. He continued downward to search for Ace, while Buggy and Mr. 3 headed up to escape.

While searching for Ace, Luffy accidentally got caught in a Seastone net, rendering his Devil Fruit powers useless.

To make matters worse, the Sphinx suddenly reappeared and swiped its large paw down at Luffy.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped the Sphinx.

And that person was none other than Roronoa Zoro!〗
