Chapter 560 of One Piece, Prisoners of Impel Down, has Hancock slip Luffy the key to Ace's cuffs while Doflamingo lays out how Vegapunk hollowed Kuma into a Government weapon, and Luffy's dash ends face to face with Mihawk.
Summary
Hancock hands Luffy the key that opens Ace's seastone cuffs, and his grateful hug overwhelms her so completely that she convinces herself they are now married. She again blocks Smoker from chasing him, indifferent to whatever the Marines will do to her afterward. Luffy reaches the standoff between Ivankov, Kuma, and Doflamingo, who explains that days before the execution Vegapunk finished remaking Kuma, a willing test subject whose body and entire past were rewritten into the Government's service. Ivankov counters with Face Spectrum and Galaxy Wink, vowing to beat the memories back into him, while Crocodile and Mr. 1 carve through Whitebeard's forces until Jozu intervenes. Luffy's final sprint is cut off by Mihawk.
Key Events
Doflamingo reveals Kuma's conversion into the Pacifista PX-0 is complete, the final modification made by Vegapunk on a volunteer whose history was erased. Jozu attacks Crocodile but Doflamingo halts him and proposes the two former enemies join forces. Smoker's jitte is destroyed by Hancock. Mihawk steps in to fight Luffy, apologizing to Shanks before drawing his black blade.
