As they navigate through the dark and treacherous level, they encounter former inmates who have formed their own society in this underground prison. Despite the harsh conditions, these prisoners have managed to make a life for themselves, creating their own shops, bars, and even a makeshift hospital. However, they also know the dangers of the level all too well, as they have been subjected to the cruelty of the prison's sadistic warden, Magellan.
As Luffy and his group explore this new underworld, they quickly discover that they are not the only ones looking for Ace. An elite team of World Government agents, led by the fearsome Admiral Akainu, has also descended into the depths of Impel Down in order to secure Ace's execution.
