Outside Impel Down, Marine ships and sentry posts blare alarms at the highest alert level. A Marine wonders when Strawhat Luffy slipped past them, while another reminds everyone that Luffy is just one man, but if anything happens to Ace, not just Impel Down but the entire World Government will become the laughingstock of the world. A commanding Marine orders, "We will enter the prison and, in the name of the Marines, capture Strawhat Luffy!!!" The troops shout, "Yes, sir!!!" The page frames Luffy's infiltration as a political emergency rather than a simple prison break. The fortress looks sealed and massive, but the panic outside shows how much the approaching execution depends on absolute control.
