One Piece · Impel Down Arc (Part 2)

Luffy frees Mr. 3 and meets Mr. 2 Bon Clay again. Magellan poisons Luffy, who is saved by Emporio Ivankov, leader of Newkama Land, a secret level of the prison, after hours of treatment. On Level 6 they're too late: Ace has already been taken to Marineford. Luffy frees Jinbe, a former Warlord jailed for refusing the war, and even Crocodile, his old enemy. A crowd of prisoners breaks out with them, fighting Magellan. To open the Gates of Justice, Bon Clay disguises himself as Magellan and stays behind. The last episodes show where each crew member ended up, while Luffy races the clock toward the execution.
