## One Piece Chapter 538, pages 16-18: Level 5.5, New Kama Land - Chapter: 538 - Pages: 16-18 - Characters: Portgas D. Ace, Jimbei, Luffy, Magellan, Emporio Ivankov, Bentham/Mr. 2 Bon Clay, New Kama residents, Impel Down guards ### Summary Page 16: On Level 6, Jimbei tells Ace not to believe that Luffy came all this way to die for him, but Ace knows Luffy's reckless nature. He says Luffy has been worrying them ever since they were kids and calls him an idiot brother. Eight hours later, in the warden's area, Magellan is told good morning and reminded that Portgas D. Ace on death row is set to be transferred. In New Kama Land, Luffy's screaming has stopped. Ivankov notes that the pain never stops while recovery is still happening, so if the screams have stopped and two days have not passed, the implication is grim. Page 17: The silence outside Luffy's chained cave terrifies Bon Clay and the New Kama residents. Ivankov says it is a pity because Luffy fought well for twenty hours. Bon Clay whispers, "Straw-chan..." as the sealed cave sits quiet. Suddenly, the chains and door begin to shake violently with "Gashan!!" and "Guwuuuu," startling everyone. The cave trembles again and again, and the crowd does not understand what is happening. The silence turns into a new shock as something inside begins forcing its way out. Page 18: The cave erupts with a colossal roar: "Foooooo-ooooood!!!" The blast from Luffy's shout sends everyone flying backward. Bon Clay screams, "Straw-chan!?" and the New Kama residents cry, "Strawhat boy!!!" Ivankov is shocked because it has not even been a full day and the recovery should not be possible yet. The chapter ends with Luffy's survival announced in the most unmistakable way: after twenty hours of poison, hormones and agony, his first word is a demand for food.
