Chapter's Events:
[Lift to Level 6]
"You're late!"
Standing before the mysterious Level 6, Domino said without looking back.
"You're strict, Domino," replied Magellan.
"Please be more punctual in the future!!" For some reason, it seemed like Domino had the upper hand over Magellan.
"That's unreasonable" Magellan appeared crestfallen.
"We're handing the prisoner over at the front gates at 9 o'clock this morning. Until then, Impel Down's reputation will be stained if we don't do our duty."
...
..
"Make it in time, please make it in time!!! Haa Haa"
Heading towards Level 6 as fast as possible, Luffy hoped to arrive on time.
"I'm coming, Ace!!!" he exclaimed.
...
[Level 6]
"" Jimbei was perturbed to see the Warden and prison guards surrounding their cell.
"Now then, Portgas D. Ace," Magellan fixed his gaze on Ace, then continued: "You will now be transported to the execution site, Marineford!!!"
Hearing that, Ace understood that the promised day had finally arrived.
The New World:
The strong winds on the coast ceased entirely as if the place had turned into a calm belt.
Here on this shore in the New World, the members of Roger's pirates occasionally fell silent, focusing entirely on reading manga.
Ace's unhealthy appearance was reflected in the eyes of Rayleigh, Gaban, Shanks, Buggy, and the others.
Their current feelings could be described in one word: anger.
"Luffy hasn't arrived yet, and they're already transporting him Does this mean Luffy's journey to Impel Down was in vain?" Shanks couldn't bear it and said with regret.
"...It's not that his journey to Impel Down will be meaningless, but it's clear that it won't end so simply..." Rayleigh responded after taking a sip of Sake.
"What do you mean it won't end so simply?" Both Shanks and Buggy were puzzled, the same went for the rest of Roger's crew.
After all, they weren't like Rayleigh, who, relying on his vast experience, could see further than any other reader through the events of the manga.
Rayleigh glanced at Shanks, smiled slightly, then spoke, saying: "The simplicity of it is that Ace won't be liberated in Impel Down no matter what happens, even if Luffy arrives in time. Impel Down is a place to sharpen Luffy and gather allies for the Summit War"
Rayleigh looked at Luffy, who was running with all his might to reach Level 6, then at the allies behind him who were following him to provide assistance, Ivankov, and Inazuma.
"...That's why this journey to the great prison wasn't in vain."
...
Marineford:
At first glance, this place appeared devoid of humans, containing only silent buildings.
But in reality, it was not devoid of humans at all; the buildings here were filled with Marine soldiers, the false silence giving the impression of emptiness.
While the silence was due to the soldiers 'readers' their breaths at this moment, as they followed the thrilling events of the manga.
"Sigh~ It seems the time for transferring this boy to the execution platform has finally come..." In the office of the Fleet Admiral, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Magellan standing in front of Ace's cell, announcing the transfer of the important prisoner to Marineford.
"Did you think Luffy would manage to reach him in time, Sengoku? I heard you as the big theorist being put on trial here." Kong seemed to mock him at this moment.
"Heh~ Any ordinary reader can see that Ace is the main reason that will trigger what is called the Summit War. Without him, there would be no war."
"So it's illogical to rescue this kid in Impel Down." Sengoku underlined Ace's name on his list with patience.
"Igniting the Summit War, that's his role, and he'll do it just fine."
The three admirals, Zephyr, Kong, and Tsuru, looked at Sengoku with admiration.
His confident demeanor gave them a glimpse of what would happen in the next volume.
"We, the Marines, don't enter a losing war. Throughout our glorious history, whenever we choose to enter a war, victory is always on our side."
"Since I'll be present in this war, even if the enemy is Whitebeard who ruled the seas far and wide in the manga world, I have confidence in my counterpart, he'll crush him!"
The person who spoke indifferently was Sakazuki.
Sengoku, Kong, and everyone in the room looked at Sakazuki with narrowed eyes, unsure if he was speaking seriously or mocking them.
"Did you mix up the manga world with our real world, Sakazuki?" Sengoku asked.
Sakazuki understood why they were looking at him this way, he cleared his throat and clarified his words. "Cough! I'm talking about the history before the appearance of the Sky Sword."
...
East Blue:
"..." Roger looked at Rouge for a moment, unable to resist the urge to gently caress her.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright," he said.
Rouge nodded with a helpless smile, unable to hide her true thoughts from someone like Roger.
The picture of Ace being transferred outside Impel Down at the moment was reflected in her mind. The sad expression on his face pierced her heart like a sharp knife.
"Just a little time was the difference between Luffy's arrival and Ace's transfer It's frustrating." Olvia also expressed her frustration.
Bentham looked at Luffy's eyes, which hadn't lost their sparkle and felt relieved.
"As long as Luffy hasn't given up, I'm sure he'll save Ace no matter what happens."
Rob wanted to commend Bentham's words, but he paused and felt conflicted; the final outcome was not truly satisfying for all readers.
