## One Piece Chapter 540, pages 14-15: Level 6, Infinite Hell - Chapter: 540 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Luffy, Emporio Ivankov, Crocodile, Whitebeard, Level 6 prisoners, Jimbei, Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard Pirates ### Summary Page 14: Ivankov tells Luffy to release Crocodile because he will be a great help, especially if Luffy is going to Marine Headquarters. Luffy objects, but Iva says Crocodile and he know each other. Crocodile greets him, "It's been a while, Croc Boy..." and Ivankov replies with his name. Iva says he knows one of Crocodile's weaknesses, so if Crocodile betrays them, he can take him out. Crocodile grudgingly accepts and says if he cooperates, Ivankov will not say anything about it. Other prisoners immediately start yelling to be released too, claiming grudges against Whitebeard, but Ivankov silences one with "Death Wink" before the situation gets out of control. Page 15: A new voice pleads from another cell: "I'm begging you!!! Take me as well!!! I will definitely be of use!!!" Luffy looks confused, while Ivankov listens. The prisoner explains that he knows Ace because Ace told him plenty about his little brother after joining the Whitebeard Pirates. He says he is imprisoned because he opposed this war and wants to save Ace too, begging for a good place to die. The plea is not greed or revenge like the other Level 6 prisoners; it is loyalty to Ace and opposition to the execution. This sets him apart from the chaos of everyone else demanding freedom.
