Chapter 536 summary
In the medical wing, Bon Clay demands that the doctors save Luffy from Magellan's poison, but they insist no antidote exists and any attempt would kill him faster. Bon Clay recalls Emporio Ivankov, the Miracle Worker, and heads to Level 5 to find him. Guards force Bon Clay into the freezing wasteland unarmed and nearly naked, where aggressive wolves roam and prisoners suffer in isolation. Luffy lies poisoned in the snow, repeatedly declaring he will not die until he saves Ace, while nearby inmates mock his refusal to accept death. Bon Clay reaches Luffy and vows to save him through friendship, then searches the snowy forest for Ivankov despite the wolves. The wolves overwhelm Bon Clay until Luffy rises in fury to protect him. A commanding voice halts the pack, and Emporio Ivankov appears beside the fallen pair as the wolves retreat.
