Luffy, Kuja Pirates, Heart Pirates, Emporio Ivankov, escaped prisoners ### Summary Page 8: At sea, Boa Hancock's ship meets Trafalgar Law's submarine after the escape. The Kuja Pirates ask, "How is Luffy doing!!?" Law's crew answers, "You did well to figure out we were surfacing here. We thought the Marines were here, so we freaked out for a moment." Law emerges from the submarine hatch, bandaged and exhausted, while Bepo calls, "Captain!!" Hancock says Salome followed them on the sea floor, then scolds Salome: "And don't change the subject, you dumb beast!!" Salome apologizes, looking ashamed under Hancock's glare. Page 9: Law gives his medical report on Luffy. He says, "I've done all I can. The effectiveness of the operation is tied to his condition. He's taken an impossible amount of damage. I can't guarantee he'll survive." Hancock is shaken silent. Ivankov and the escaped prisoners erupt happily from the submarine, shouting "HIIHAAA!!" and declaring that Strawhat tried his hardest and helped them escape Impel Down. Hancock asks who they are, and she is told, "Prisoners from Impel Down... It looks like they're Luffy's allies. They snuck onto the battleship." Ivankov announces they are heading to the kingdom of Kamabakka, from Newkama Land to the true home of Newkamas.
