[Pirate 1: What's the deal with this Straw Hat kid? His condition was so severe, yet he recovered just by eating meat?]
[Pirate 2: What tenacious vitality! If only I had that too.]
[Pirate 3: What's wrong with that Bon Clay? Why did he suddenly faint?]
[Pirate 4: He must be exhausted. After all, he was cheering for Straw Hat kid for hours outside.]
[Civilian 1: True. He persisted for so long. Now that he sees Straw Hat kid is safe, he finally couldn't hold on anymore.]
The viewers on the sky screen discussed Bon Clay's collapse, and the subsequent video confirmed their speculations.
〖"Mr. Ivan! What's wrong with Bon-chan? Do you know?" Luffy looked worriedly at the unconscious Bon Clay, unsure of his condition.
After checking Bon Clay's status, Ivankov informed Luffy that he was simply overly exhausted.
Upon hearing this, Luffy didn't hesitate any longer. He grabbed his clothes and hat, ready to set off to rescue Ace.
However, he had overestimated his stamina. Although the poison was gone, he had genuinely fought multiple intense battles.
His body was now extremely fatigued and could no longer support his advance.
But he refused to give up, stubbornly dragging his overused body forward.
Witnessing this, Ivankov couldn't help but say: "You insist on saving your big brother no matter what? Even at the cost of your life?"
Luffy nodded. "Mr. Ivan, you can choose to escape. Bon-chan came here to save you. You can escape with Bon-chan. I just ask that you tell me where Ace is before you leave."
Hearing that Bon Clay had come here to save him, Ivankov was deeply moved.
However, he still shook his head and declined Luffy's suggestion.
"Although I'm very grateful to Bon Boy, now is not the time for me to leave. Even though I'm in prison, I'm still aware of the world's situation. A battle between the Marines and Whitebeard is imminent, but that man hasn't made his move yet. The figure behind revolutionaries worldwide, my comrade... Revolutionary Dragon."
After Ivankov finished, Luffy responded somewhat blankly, "Huh? My dad?"
"Yes! When your father makes his move, then I will leave here and throw myself into the tides of the world. Leaving now would just mean being hunted outside. I couldn't accomplish anything."
A sudden silence fell over the room after Ivankov spoke.
He thought for a moment, then finally realized what was wrong.
"Dad dad dad... DAD?!"
Everyone present was shocked. Ivankov was so startled he slammed into the wall.
He then confirmed with Luffy again.
After getting Luffy's affirmative reply, he was sure Luffy was the son of his ally, Dragon.
It was then that he remembered Luffy's brother, Ace, and guessed Ace was also Dragon's child.
He decided to follow Luffy to save Ace.
Thus, he injected Luffy with an Energy Hormone, allowing Luffy to recover temporarily.
Afterwards, he took Luffy to the hidden Level 6 of Impel Down: the Eternal Hell.
Although the Marines in Impel Down reacted quickly, they were no match for Luffy's group.
Luffy and the others successfully fought their way to the Eternal Hell, only to be one step too late.
Ace had already been taken away by Magellan earlier.〗
[Pirate 1: Even though we already knew Straw Hat Luffy was the son of Revolutionary Dragon, seeing it in the video is still shocking.]
[Pirate 2: Honestly, me too. Every time I think about it, I can't help but marvel. What an incredible family.]
[Scratchmen Apoo: Ah pa pa pa! What a shame! Straw Hat kid was one step too late. Fire Fist Ace was already taken away.]
[Jewelry Bonney: He tried so hard, but still ended up being too late.]
[Urouge: Not only that, Straw Hat Luffy also lost ten years of his lifespan because of it.]
[X Drake: This is the so-called "giving up the bride and losing the army as well" (suffering a double loss).]
[Capone Bege: And now it seems Straw Hat Luffy himself is in a tight spot. I wonder how he escaped.]
[Eustass Kid: Just keep watching. The subsequent video will definitely have the answer.]
As Kid's words faded, the video showed Luffy's group already engaged in battle with the Impel Down guards.
〖Using the powers of his Paramecia-type Clip-Clip Fruit, Inazuma cut open the ground, blocking all the sleep gas outside.
However, doing this meant not only could the Marines not get in, but they also couldn't get out.
At this critical moment, a man's laughter suddenly reached their ears.
They turned to look and discovered the man was the former Warlord, Sir Crocodile.
"Crocodile, you're here too."
Luffy looked at him with a grave expression.
He had expended immense effort to defeat Crocodile before.
Therefore, facing him again, Luffy refused to underestimate him and silently prepared for any possible reaction.
Crocodile, however, was nonchalant and instead tried to persuade Luffy.
"I originally had no desire to escape. There's nothing interesting outside anyway. But I never expected a war to break out between Whitebeard and the Marines. That truly attracts me. It gives me a strong impulse to go out and participate. So, how about it, Straw Hat? Let's cooperate. Your strength, plus my help we can definitely escape from this Impel Down. This suggestion has no downsides for you. So? Will you agree? Believe me, it won't do you any harm."
Crocodile tried to entice him, but the moment Luffy remembered what he had done to Vivi's country, he didn't want to agree at all and directly refused.
"Don't be ridiculous! You made such a mess of Vivi's country! How could I possibly let you out?!"
"That was in the past. I know I was wrong now, and I have no interest in that country anymore."
Crocodile continued to state his resolve, but Luffy paid him no mind.
Ivankov, who had been silent beside them, seemed to think of something and stepped forward to persuade Luffy.
"Straw Hat boy, let him join. His combat power is significant. He would be a great help in our escape from here."
"But..."
Luffy didn't want to agree. Just as Ivankov was about to persuade him further, Crocodile suddenly changed his expression.
"You... you are Ivankov?!" 〗
