Summary

Hancock's group rides an elevator down toward Level 4, where the heat is punishing, and learns from Domino that Warden Magellan keeps an odd schedule because of his chronic stomach trouble, barely working a handful of hours each day. When the warden finally emerges from the restroom, he turns out to be an enormous figure who consumed the Doku Doku no Mi, making his entire body poisonous. Far below, on the wild-beast floor, Luffy and Buggy press deeper into the prison while fending off an assortment of creatures.

Key Events

Luffy and Buggy crash through Level 2, surviving a giant hippo, a massive praying mantis, and a chicken-headed serpent called a Basilisk, the last of which Luffy flattens using his Gear Third strength. Buggy frees a batch of caged inmates, and among them stands the former Baroque Works agent Galdino, who steps forward to guide them deeper. Up at the warden's office, Hancock floors Magellan for breathing poison her way, only for him to become smitten with her, and she pressures him into taking her to Ace before security footage exposes her crew.

Notes

This installment closes out Share the World as the series opening. Two original beasts, the oversized hippo and the giant mantis, are anime-exclusive additions absent from the manga. The broadcast also offers an early glimpse of Shiki in silhouette during Sengoku's recollection of the only inmate ever to escape Impel Down, arriving roughly a month before the character's formal debut in the Strong World film.
