The cover illustration is a standalone kitchen scene: Camie works on fish at a counter while Pappag stands by, and a large okama-like cook prepares spaghetti in a steaming pot. Other figures peek from the doorway and shelves of supplies fill the background. It is not part of the Impel Down escape action, but it gives the title page before the chapter returns to the newly formed escape alliance breaking upward from Level 6. Page 1: Impel Down guards rush toward Level 6 with prison bullets, warning one another that Strawhat, Ivankov and Inazuma all have Devil Fruit powers. They shout, "We've arrived at Level 6!!!" and remind each other to be careful because the enemy is trapped there. But when they reach the floor, they find a huge spiraling stone path leading through a giant hole in the ceiling. They ask, "What is this giant stone thing...!?" and realize the fugitives may have gone up through the opening. The guards can only yell, "Where are those three!? Find them!!!" as the prison's deepest floor has already been breached. Page 2: A guard reports the giant hole to Head Guard Shiryu, but Shiryu coldly mocks them: "There's a giant hole in the ceiling and you think you'll find them here? Idiots..." When the guards mention Crocodile and Jimbei were also released and went up through the hole with the others, Shiryu calls it a terrible situation and an Impel Down failure. He remarks that Crocodile's group can do anything without him now, then tells the guard to go tell Magellan that he will lend him a hand. The page frames Shiryu's grin as dangerous rather than reassuring; help from him is its own threat. Page 3: In the monitor room, guards realize the escaped group now includes Crocodile and Jimbei. They ask whether the fugitives are not in their cells and whether they outwitted the trap that was supposed to imprison them. Since Warden Magellan is in the middle of another assignment, the officer in charge is blamed as probably completely responsible. He panics and orders all forces to return to Level 4, shouting that he will fight too. He calls for Sadi-chan and Saldeath, telling everyone to gather subordinates and hurry to Level 4, to make him the warden even if it costs their lives, then corrects himself and simply orders them to fight even if it costs their lives. Page 4: On Level 5, Freezing Hell, Ivankov asks whether everyone is ready. He explains the new plan: even if they reach the gates on Level 1, the real problem comes afterward because they will be surrounded by the inescapable Calm Belt. They need to steal a Marine ship so they can go to Marine Headquarters, and for that they need numbers. With their current force, only a handful will make it through, and anyone captured will be tortured. Ivankov's answer is to increase the probability of survival by releasing as many prisoners as possible from Levels 5 to 1, taking keys as they ascend. Page 5: Ivankov declares that they will create a panic the likes of which Impel Down has never seen. The freed prisoners and New Kama residents roar, "Uwoo-ohhh!!!" while wolves snarl around Level 5. Ivankov tells them, "Yow, let's go, Strawhat boy!!!" but Luffy has already shot ahead under the Tension Hormones, shouting "Forward!!!" and "Stop me!!" Iva calls after him, telling the candies to chase him, while another resident says the hormones worked too well. The page turns the escape into a stampede: stealth is abandoned, and chaos itself becomes the route upward. Page 6: The fugitives race up the stairs from Level 5 to Level 4. It is almost 10 a.m.; the execution is at 3 p.m. Jimbei warns that Ace is already being moved, so the fight could start at any time, and that even if old man Whitebeard comes, he will make his move before then. Luffy takes hope from this, shouting that Ace will not be killed before three, so they still have a chance. Crocodile, meanwhile, says doors mean nothing to him and that his right hand brings drought. He calmly reaches toward the prison door as the group advances. Page 7: The chapter pauses to explain Crocodile's Suna Suna Fruit power: he can turn his body into sand and control sand, making him a sand man. His right hand can absorb all moisture; with a touch, people and plants wither, and stone and earth turn to sand. Crocodile presses his hand to the Level 4 barrier, drying and crumbling the door until it bursts open in a massive explosion of dust and rubble. The guards waiting beyond the gate stare in sho...
