Jimbei and company try to secure a ship while Luffy and Mr. 3 have trouble holding off Magellan.Summary:Inside Impel Down, Magellan calls upon his more powerful poisons and Luffy's wax gloves and shoes are no longer effective. Magellan then summons a giant poison demon called “Hell's Judgement” which forces Luffy and company to retreat towards the main gate. Out on the sea, Crocodile and Mr. 1 are busy securing one of the Marine ships, while Jimbei uses his water blasts to hold off other Marine ships. Foot odor x 1,000,000!!!!!!At the front gate, Bon is glad to see Luffy approaching but unfortunately Magellan and his poison demon are in hot pursuit. At this moment, Ivankov with the giant head, using his Death Wink as propulsion, bursts out of the floor with Inazuma in his arms. Luffy receives a Den Den Mushi that's connected to Jimbei. Jimbei informs Luffy that his group has secured a ship and although it's still far away from the dock, Jimbei tells Luffy and the others to keep running and jump into the water. The other prisoners are skeptical of the idea, but Luffy trusts Jimbei because Jimbei is Ace's friend. Luffy and Mr. 3 combine for a Candle Wall/Gear Third attack to knock Magellan back, and then Ivankov uses his Death Wink to launch everyone off of the dock. To everyone's surprise, the prisoners all land on a school of whale sharks summoned by Jimbei (who is whale shark merman), and Jimbei directs the sharks to carry the prisoners to Marine ship his group has commandeered.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Whale sharks to the rescue!? The surprises just keep on coming. Tthat was a rather convenient turn of events for the escapees, but wouldn't most of whale sharks become sea king lunch? Anyways, if this is how Luffy and company escape from Impel Down then it's pretty disappointing, since I was hoping for a Luffy vs. Magellan rematch. I suppose fighting Magellan would take up time that Luffy cannot afford to lose, and Ace's execution will be where the real action is. Magellan can always summon a Marine ship to chase after the prisoners if Jimbei and Crocodile didn't destroy all of the other ships, but at the moment the chief warden won't be able to give chase since he can't swim. Hopefully something interesting will happen in the next chapter, because up until now the escape from Impel Down hasn't been all that exciting.In other news, we still don't know what's going on with Shiryuu and Blackbeard, but at least we know that Ivankov and Inazuma are still alive.
