Bon, Buggy, and Mr. 3 journey down to Level 5 to rescue Luffy.Summary:Bon continues to pose as Hanyabal and asks the prison doctors to save Luffy, but the doctors state that there's no way anyone could survive Magellan's multiple poisons. Bon then remembers that the Okama Queen Ivankov can perform miracles, so using his disguise he gets permission to go to Level 5 to send Buggy and Mr. 3 there as punishment for their escape attempt. Before heading into the Freezing Hell, Bon notices Ivankov's name has been crossed off the prisoners list, and one of the guards explain that Ivankov has been "demonings away" or disappeared from the prison. The guards leave Bon to lead Buggy and Mr. 3 into the Freezing Hell by himself, and soon after entering the trio is confronted by four of the notorious wolves that are stationed in the level. Buggy and Mr. 3 quickly run the other way, leaving Bon to deal with the wolves b himself.In a prison cell in the level, a number of prisoners are looking at Luffy who is struggling to break out. The prisoners tell Luffy to give it up and accept death, but Luffy refuses stay down even in his injured state. Suddenly the prisoners notice a helf-naked and bloody Bon standing in front of cell. Bon retrieves Luffy from the cell and leaves the keys to the prisoners. While towing Luffy around on a sled, Bon goes from cell to cell asking for Ivankov's whereabouts, and one of the prisoners tells Bon to head into the forest. Unbeknownst to Bon, the forest is actually the den of the wolves. Shortly after heading into the forest, Bon finds himself surrounded by a large number of wolves. Bon tries to fend off the crazy beasts but the wolves overwhelm him with their numbers. Just when it looks Bon is about to be killed, Luffy suddenly reawakens and bites one of the wolves. Having caught all of the wolves' attention, Luffy releases a burst of "spirit"/haki which causes all of the wolves to faint and foam from their mouths. After the display of authority, Luffy loses consciousness once again, leaving Bon to wonder what had happened.Luffy takes out the wolves with his fart... I mean special stink bomb attack!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So Luffy is still alive. Big surprise there lol. I'm guessing Luffy's haki must have made him resistant to Magellan's poison. Mr. 3 and Buggy are still along for the ride, although they don't really want to work with Bon or Luffy anymore. The short-term goal seems to be to find Ivankov so Luffy get back to full strength, and we'll probably find out the cause of the "demonings". If I remembered correctly, Ace is also somewhere in Level 5, although the place he's being held doesn't seem to be that cold. Finally, it looks like Mr. 1 won't be joining Luffy's dungeon-crawling adventure, which is a little disappointing but it makes sense since he is neither funny nor a friend of Luffy's. Only the funny characters get to join Luffy on his adventure.
