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

Seeing Franky so excited, Luffy was happy for him too.

Luffy nodded to him and then addressed the others.

"Then let's go!"

...

Because they had reached a temporary peace agreement with the jailers, Luffy and his crew were able to travel without any obstacles and smoothly reach the top level of Impel Down.

Just as they were preparing to leave through the exit, Hannibal suddenly approached with his men.

He saw that Luffy was surrounded by dozens of criminals and couldn't help but shout.

"Didn't you say you were only taking one criminal with you?"

Why are there so many people here now?

Hannibal panicked when he saw so many criminals.

He could pretend he didn't see one or two criminals, but he couldn't explain himself to people about so many!

He became even more panicked when he saw that Jinbe had also been taken out.

Level 6 criminals are all world-renowned figures. He felt he couldn't bear the responsibility of letting such people go.

Luffy was in a hurry and didn't bother to explain to Hannibal, so he just said it casually.

"If you disagree, then come and stop us!"

Upon hearing this, Hannibal froze on the spot.

His previous shouting and yelling had completely vanished.

Suddenly, Hannibal grinned, revealing a smile, and said with a chuckle.

"Heh...heh heh! How could I possibly disagree?!"

"They're just a few dozen criminals, aren't they?"

"Take it away!"

"I didn't see anything!"

With that, Hannibal suddenly turned and left, walking away as if he knew nothing at all.

He can only weep in his heart now, waiting to be held accountable.

There's no way to beat them!

Ivankov and the others were stunned as they watched Hannibal's desolate and forlorn figure disappear into the distance.

They never expected that the jailer would compromise with the pirates.

"what on earth is it?"

Ivankov couldn't help but ask Xiong out of curiosity.

As Luffy and his crew hurried toward the exit, Kuma explained to Ivankov that Ace was about to be executed and that the Whitebeard Pirates were going to war with the Navy.

Upon hearing this, Ivankov couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"What did you say?!"

"Such a thing actually happened?!"

The bear nodded and said.

"Luffy and his crew are currently planning to rescue Ace!"

At this point, Kuma suddenly looked at Luffy and said to him.

"Luffy! Let's go help you too!"

"One more person means more strength."

"That way, the chances of rescuing Ace are much higher."

Luffy nodded and thanked him.

"Great! Thanks!"

But then Ivankov became puzzled and couldn't help but ask Xiong.

"Bear! Just who is this kid?"

"Why do you and Jinbe both seem to respect him so much?"

"Now we have to go with him to that kind of battlefield where the best gather."

"It's questionable whether this kid can even survive there, let alone save anyone."

"They don't know how terrifying that kind of battlefield would be, don't you know?"

Ivankov had wanted to ask Kuma about Luffy's identity for a long time.

Unfortunately, he had been too busy traveling to have many opportunities.

Now that he had finally arrived outside the prison and learned of such an important matter, he couldn't help but be curious.

Luffy is directing Karu to begin taking the Going Merry out of the alternate dimension.

Kuma, watching Luffy's retreating figure, spoke to Ivankov.

"He is...the son of a dragon!"

boom!

Upon hearing this, Ivankov felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his heart trembling violently.

He had heard before that Long had family, but Long always kept quiet whenever his family was mentioned, to avoid endangering them.

But he never expected that Luffy, who was standing in front of him, was actually Dragon's son.

Suddenly remembering Franky telling Luffy to go save his brother, Ivankov connected the dots and was immediately startled, hurriedly asking a question.

"So...Ace was also a son of a dragon?"

"Could it be that dragons will also participate in this war?"

This time, it was Luffy who answered his question.

"I met Ace when we were kids living together."

"He's not my biological brother!"

Ivankov nodded in understanding.

But he still spoke with a worried expression.

"But that kind of battlefield is too dangerous!"

"With so many new recruits going to that kind of battlefield, even if Xiong and I were here, we couldn't protect so many of you."

After learning that Luffy is Dragon's son, Ivankov no longer hesitated to follow Luffy.

But he became worried about Luffy and his crew's safety.

He had never heard of Luffy and the Straw Hat crew before.

In other words, these people are just a group of newcomers.

Sending a group of newbies to that kind of battlefield is practically suicide.

However, this time it was the bear that answered his question.

You underestimate them!

Upon hearing Xiong's words, Ivankov became even more puzzled.

Even if you underestimate them, they are still newcomers.

How strong can a group of newcomers really be?

Could it be that I can actually compete with the top-tier strength of an admiral?

The bear saw through Ivankov's thoughts and simply said...

"Luffy defeated Magellan!"

"and..."

"He only used one move!"

Upon hearing this, Ivankov and the group of transvestites were all stunned.

"What did you say?!"

"Impossible! Magellan is as strong as a monster!"

"Defeated in just one move? Are you kidding me?"

Upon hearing this news, no one else could believe it for a moment...

Although Ivankov also found it hard to believe, he was convinced that the bear would not lie to him.

At that moment, the way he looked at Luffy and the Straw Hat crew changed.

He murmured in utter shock.

"Defeat Magellan in one move? Even Dragon couldn't do that, right?!"

"Dragon! You've really given birth to an extraordinary son!"

Just as Ivankov was feeling sentimental, Luffy had already led the Straw Hat crew aboard the Going Merry.

He spoke to Ivankov and the others who were still standing on the shore in a daze.

"If you'd like to come with us, hurry up and get on!"

Luffy's words pulled him back to reality, and Ivankov spoke repeatedly.

"Of course I want to go!"

"If I hadn't protected you, I would have had no face to go back and see Long!"

With that, Ivankov leaped onto the deck of the Merry.

The others followed suit.

Soon, the USS Going Merry, carrying a full ship of people, headed at full speed towards the Navy Headquarters along its designated current.

Not long after leaving the prison, they saw the almost towering gate of justice ahead.

"Oh no! We can't cross the Gate of Justice without the Navy's permission!"

"Stop right now! If this keeps up, we'll be smashed to pieces!"

Upon seeing the Gate of Justice blocking their way like a mountain, a chorus of exclamations erupted from the ship.

However, Luffy was not nervous at all and called out "Karu".

"Karoo!"

Karu immediately understood and went to the very front of the ship.

Just as Ivankov and the others were filled with worry and exclamations, they were shocked to see the door in front of them suddenly open, allowing the Going Merry to pass through smoothly.

...

Advance into the city!

Magellan woke up right after Luffy and the others left.

The first thing he did upon waking up was to ask about Hannibal's latest condition.

Where are the Straw Hat Pirates?

"Has the prison fallen?"

"What's going on now?"

Faced with Magellan's barrage of questions, Hannibal nervously recounted everything that followed.

Magellan was furious when he heard that the Straw Hat crew had escaped with dozens of criminals.

"What did you say?"

"Did they really let so many criminals go free?"
