Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"Hey! Let me out too!"

"I want to get out too! I have a grudge against Whitebeard, and I'm going to kill him!"

"Please, I beg you, let me out!"

While these people were pleading for help, Luffy ignored them and instead asked Jinbe about something else.

"Jinbe! Do you know Douglas Barrett?"

"He should be locked up here too. Do you know which cell it is?"

Jinbe was taken aback upon hearing this.

This name was often mentioned alongside figures like Roger Reilly; how could he not know it?

He was just a little puzzled as to why Luffy would seek out this person.

With a puzzled look, he replied.

"I've never seen him since I came here."

"But I heard he's being held in the innermost cell!"

"What are you doing with him?"

Luffy smiled upon hearing this, looked at the cell at the end of the cell, and said calmly.

"I'm very interested in the Devil Fruit he ate."

Just as he finished speaking, Mr. 3 walked over, trembling.

The constant shouts of the criminals around him filled him with dread.

After arriving at Luffy's side, Luffy spoke to him.

"Release Jinbe, then come find me."

Upon hearing this, Mr. 3 glanced at Jinbe inside the prison, and his pupils immediately trembled.

"Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!"

Why are the Seven Warlords of the Sea imprisoned here?

While Mr. 3 was exclaiming in surprise, Luffy had already gone off to find Bullet's cell.

On his way to the cage, Luffy saw something that struck him as odd.

At the entrance of one of the cells, several prison guards lay on the ground, their wounds appearing to have been inflicted with knives.

No one used to come here.

In other words, there might be other people here?!

As Luffy thought this to himself, a sense of vigilance arose within him.

But this place is full of criminals, and he can't find out where the other person is right now.

We can only remain vigilant and put this matter aside for now.

Soon, he arrived at the cell at the end of the corridor.

Standing at the cell door, Luffy could indeed vaguely see a tall figure in the dim light.

Inside the prison cell!

Barrett sat quietly against the wall, listening to the commotion around him, plotting how to escape during the chaos.

Just then, he suddenly saw a figure appear at the door of his cell.

He turned his head in confusion, and with just one glance, his brows furrowed.

asked in a deep voice.

"Hey kid! Where did you get that straw hat?"

Barrett was once a member of Roger's pirate crew, so he was very familiar with this straw hat.

He remembered that Roger had given the straw hat to a trainee crew member named Shanks, so how did it end up on the head of some complete stranger?

Luffy was still trying to figure out if the other person was the Bullet he was looking for.

When the other person reacted so emotionally to his straw hat, Luffy instantly recognized him.

However, he did not choose to answer Barrett's question.

In his eyes, the other person was already a dead man, and there was no need to waste his breath on him.

Moreover, this person was a crew member on the same ship as Shanks and Rayleigh.

However, he joined Roger's crew solely because he wanted to defeat Roger, and he had no other feelings for the crew members.

After Roger's death, he wanted to kill all the strong people in the world to prove that he was the strongest and wanted to become the Pirate King who surpassed Roger.

Luffy wouldn't hesitate to kill someone with such extreme views.

Soon, Mr. 3 brought the freed Jinbe to Luffy's side.

Luffy then had Mr. 3 release Bullet again.

Barrett was already quite annoyed because Luffy kept ignoring him.

But he was quite surprised when he saw Luffy free him.

Just as he was excitedly preparing to celebrate finally gaining his freedom, Luffy unexpectedly delivered a solid punch to him.

Because of the seastone handcuffs, Barrett's resistance was actually very weak, and he could easily be knocked unconscious by Luffy.

The surrounding criminals became even more agitated after Luffy released two criminals in succession, and they wanted Luffy to release them as well.

But when they saw Luffy knock Bullet down with a single punch, everyone immediately shut their mouths and stopped talking.

Luffy then took the opportunity to ask Jinbe a question.

What just happened here?

"What's the deal with those guards?"

Jinbe glanced at the guards Luffy was looking at and explained.

"That cell originally held the former warden of this prison, Shiryu of the Rain."

"He was sentenced to death for indiscriminately killing criminals."

"When you were making a scene up there, he lied to the guards and said he would help stop you."

"As a result, after the guards released him, he killed the guards and escaped."

"I overheard the criminals here talking about how he destroyed all the surveillance cameras on this floor, and nobody knows where he is now."

Luffy nodded in understanding.

He originally planned to finish what he wanted to do and then leave.

However, after learning this news, a thought came to his mind.

Blackbeard will be here soon.

He must have come here for the criminals.

Luffy also knew that the damage he had caused to Magellan was not serious and that he should wake up soon.

If it weren't for Shiryu's presence, Magellan might have been able to wipe out Blackbeard's entire crew by himself.

But now, Luffy thinks Magellan might have to kneel again.

And the criminals here may also be released.

Thinking this, Luffy immediately took out a Den Den Mushi and summoned the Empress.

When they split up to search for Ivankov, each group kept a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) for communication.

He planned to have the Empress petrify all the criminals here.

In this way, Blackbeard's crew will not gain new strength, and no criminals will escape.

After receiving Luffy's call, the Empress rushed here as quickly as possible.

Upon learning of Luffy's idea, she did as he suggested without hesitation.

Jinbe was initially puzzled, but after Luffy told him that Blackbeard would be coming here, he immediately understood why Luffy did this.

Moreover, because of Luffy's approach of preventing the release of all criminals, Jinbe even admired and appreciated Luffy more.

After some time, all the level 6 criminals were turned into stone statues.

Only then did they leave, satisfied.

...

Because LV5 is a vast, icy, and snowy area.

Monitoring Den Den Mushi (snail phones) can only be found near staircases connecting upper and lower floors, or in areas where buildings exist.

Therefore, Hannibal and his men did not find Ivankov for a long time.

It wasn't until the Straw Hat crew had searched for a long time that Vivi finally spotted a group of people running across the snowfield from the sky.

After comparing the characteristics described by Xiong, Vivi was highly certain that the leader of the group was Ivankov.

She quickly contacted everyone, informed them of the situation, and asked them to gather at the places where they had been scattered.

Some time passed.

The entire Straw Hat crew arrived near the level 5 staircase.

Upon seeing the bear, Ivankov became incredibly excited and quickly resumed his old conversation with it.

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat crew focused their attention on Luffy and the others who had arrived last.

They discovered two strange men that Luffy was with.

"Luffy, who are they?"

What are you doing with them?

While some people were asking questions in confusion, others suddenly recognized Jinbe and exclaimed in surprise.

"This person is... Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately taken aback.

Upon hearing this name, Ivankov stopped catching up with Xiong and turned his gaze towards him, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Kuma, on the other hand, didn't show much surprise because he already knew about Jinbe's imprisonment.

Luffy explained to everyone.

"Jinbe was imprisoned for trying to stop Ace from being executed."

"Now that he's decided to come with us to rescue Ace, I brought him along."

Upon hearing Luffy's words, everyone understood.

At that moment, Franky focused his attention on the unconscious man who had been placed at Luffy's feet.

"Then who is this person?"

Was he with us too?

"Why was he handcuffed and unconscious?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Barrett.

"This person is Douglas Barrett, the Demon Heir!"

Jinbe revealed Barrett's identity to everyone.

Upon hearing this name, everyone's pupils dilated in shock.

Although some people may not recognize Barrett at first glance, they will know who he is the moment they hear the name.

Barrett is a figure on par with legendary figures like Roger, Whitebeard, and Rayleigh; almost everyone knows him.

"No way?! It's actually one of those legendary big shots."

"I heard he was imprisoned in this jail for causing trouble at sea, is that true?!"

"By the way, Luffy, why did you bring him along? You're not thinking of having him help us rescue Ace, are you?"
