Guards storm the lowest cellblock only to find a spiral bored straight through the ceiling. As Shiryu volunteers for the manhunt and the newkama scramble after Luffy, Buggy's crew sparks a fresh uprising overhead.
Summary
Masked guards rush the deepest floor expecting trapped quarry, and instead confront a huge stone coil drilled upward toward the next level, a hole opened by Crocodile and twisted into shape by Inazuma's Choki Choki no Mi. From within a cage, the former chief jailer Shiryu jeers that the staff are useless without him and have shamed the prison's reputation, then offers to recapture the five runaways should Magellan allow it. Hungry for the Chief Warden's chair, Hannyabal decides to face the escapees himself and dispatches Sadi and Saldeath to Level 4.
One floor up, Ivankov tells the trembling newkama their only route out is a commandeered Marine warship, freeing inmates along the way to swell their numbers. Crocodile, Jinbe, and Luffy charge ahead, and on the steps between the two floors they meet armed jailers; Crocodile sands away a blocking door with his Suna Suna no Mi, lets gunfire pass through his Logia body, and withers several men, while Luffy thrashes another cluster and Jinbe knocks the rest flat with a Fish-Man Karate shockwave. On Level 2, Buggy and Galdino, who slipped the wolf packs by ducking behind wax barriers, spring caged prisoners using keys Galdino molded with his Doru Doru no Mi, igniting another riot just as the Blue Gorillas pull out. Crocodile recruits Mr. 1 on the floor below, and Ivankov, back at Luffy's side and herding the unruly demoned-away inmates, swells his head with Face Growth Hormones as the band cleaves through the staff.
Key Events

Notes
The Japanese title translates roughly as the greatest ever. Commentary observes that the stairway brawl mirrors a moment in the Sabaody Archipelago storyline, where Luffy carved through a mob beside the temporary allies Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law. The Straw Hats and Animals cover shows Vivi cooking with Terracotta while Cobra and Matsuge keep watch. Events fall within the Impel Down storyline.
