The monsters smash through bodies and weapons while guards shout for the Demon Beast Guards to get the escapees.

The prisoners around them panic that everyone is going to die, but Luffy's group prepares to strike back at full power. Page 20: The Demon Beast Guards tear through the escape force. Prisoners cry for help and shout that they cannot fight them, that the guns and cannons are not working, and that the beasts are too strong. Sadi-chan watches with delight, saying she cannot get enough of these screams, while the prisoners yell that they are all going to die. In the middle of the panic, the real heavy hitters begin to answer: Jimbei prepares Merman Karate, Luffy calls "Gear Third" and starts a "Gomu Gomu... Giant" attack, and Crocodile quietly joins in.
