## One Piece Chapter 540, pages 9-11: Level 6, Infinite Hell - Chapter: 540 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Inazuma, Emporio Ivankov, Luffy, Level 6 prisoners, Impel Down guards, Portgas D. Ace, Marines, Whitebeard ### Summary Page 9: Inazuma reveals his ability. Guards stare in disbelief and ask what it was, saying he cut the floor like it was cloth. With snipping sounds of "choki" and "gachin," Inazuma slices and folds the ground into a massive sheet-like barrier, then raises it to shut the sleeping gas away. Prisoners marvel that he used the ground he cut up to shut the gas away. Ivankov explains that Inazuma ate the Choki Choki Fruit and became a scissors man who can manipulate the things he cuts like paper. The immediate disaster is contained, but only because Inazuma reshapes the prison itself. Page 10: Luffy wants to go up immediately, calling Inazuma "crab man," but Ivankov asks how they will go after Ace if the stairs have been shut off. Inazuma explains that there was no other way to stop the gas: if they fell unconscious, they would not be rescuing anyone, and Ace would be executed. Ivankov tells Luffy not to be rash. Their plan was simple, but it worked too well against them, and now they are stuck on Level 6 with no way out. Iva says the least they can do is stop the flow of information. Then he points to the Vivre Card: it is not pointing down anymore, but straight up, meaning Ace is being taken smoothly to the surface by lift. Page 11: Luffy looks upward as Ivankov says Ace is probably being transferred to the Marines right about now. The scene shows Ace being delivered at the front entrance to a line of Marine forces. Ivankov tells Luffy that Ace Boy is already in the Marines' custody and that Luffy should give it up, or rather leave it to Whitebeard. Iva respects Luffy's feelings and will help him escape Impel Down unharmed if possible, but Luffy rejects that path. With his battered face set in determination, he declares, "I'll go to the Marine Headquarters!!!" The rescue goal moves beyond Impel Down to Marineford itself.
