All Forces Have Gathered! The Battle on Level 4 - The Burning Heat Hell!

Resting briefly after downing Minotaurus, Luffy and his allies barely have time to plan before the floor gives way and drops them, along with the beast, onto Level 4. The blistering Blazing Hell greets them with boiling blood and laboring prisoners hauling heavy timber. One inmate's botched escape attempt strikes Daz Bonez, who furiously hurls the man into the boiling blood.

Momonga prepares to ferry Hancock to Marineford but receives unsettling news of a clash between two Emperors, Shanks and Kaido, and reflects on the coming war against Whitebeard. Magellan splits his forces to seal the various stairways and trap the fugitives. Luffy, drawn by the smell of the kitchen, plows through the guards alongside Bentham until the warden himself drops down before them, declaring he has tolerated enough of their rampage.

This installment is part of the Impel Down Arc. Momonga's reflection includes a fantasy montage of the Warlords and Marine admirals expected to take part in the upcoming Summit War, foreshadowing the conflict to come. The episode also debuts the Jailer Beast Minozebra among the prison's monstrous guardians.
