## One Piece Chapter 544, pages 16-18: Even Hell's Gates Open - Chapter: 544 - Pages: 16-18 - Characters: Magellan, Marshall D. Teach, Jesus Burgess, Laffitte, Van Augur, Doc Q, Stronger, Blackbeard Pirates, Hannyabal, Luffy, Impel Down prisoners, Demon Beast Guards ### Summary Page 16: Magellan identifies the intruder as Blackbeard, and Teach answers, "Indeed!!!" Magellan does not negotiate. He unleashes "Hydra!!!" and a huge mass of poison shaped like dragon heads floods over Blackbeard and the Blackbeard Pirates. The attack catches the entire crew in one sweeping strike, showing why Magellan is the prison's chief warden and why even Teach's confidence cannot make Impel Down harmless. Page 17: Blackbeard and his crew collapse under the poison. Teach groans, "Oh..." and someone screams, "Gyaaaa, it hurts~ I'm suffering!!!" Magellan says he has no time to hear why Teach came here. He then turns to the battered vice warden and says, "Hannyabal... You stood your ground well...!!" Hannyabal, still conscious on the floor, asks in shock whether this is poison and curses. Magellan's praise confirms that Hannyabal's desperate stand mattered, even though the prison is still falling apart. Page 18: Hannyabal, badly wounded, tells Magellan, "Vice Warden!! I'll take care of the rest. Don't die on me." Magellan answers him with stern praise: "You are the only successor I have!!!" From the crowd above, Luffy suddenly hears a loud voice calling "Strawhat!!!" Prisoners panic, asking who that is and whether it is Magellan's voice. Luffy recognizes it as "the poison guy...!!" Magellan glares upward and declares, "I will never let you out of here!!!" The chapter's title comes true in one final confrontation: even the gates of hell are opening, but Magellan refuses to let Luffy leave.
