Teach admits Luffy is stronger than he expected, saying, "Your haki is stronger than before, too." Crocodile asks Teach why a no-name pirate from Whitebeard's crew who took Crocodile's Shichibukai seat is here instead of answering the summons to Marine Headquarters. Teach says it is all part of his plan, though he has run into some snags, but he sees no need to explain it to Mr. Crocodile. Page 8: Crocodile says he is not interested in Teach's plan and adds that Teach has no manners. The exchange is cut off when guards scream that Magellan is here and order everyone to run to Level 3. The Chief Warden's poison surges through the area, forcing both the escapees and Blackbeard's group to react. Ivankov cries out as the page turns the confrontation into another crisis: Magellan has reached the stairs and the boss of hell is now in front of them.
