As the battle continued to rage, Magellan stood menacingly, his toxic aura thickening the air around him. His piercing gaze locked onto Luffy, his deep voice echoing through the chaos.

"Straw Hat Luffy... you will not leave this prison alive," Magellan growled. "I've tolerated your insolence long enough. No one has ever escaped Impel Down, and I'll make sure you're no exception."

Luffy clenched his fists, glaring right back at the warden. "I'm not staying here, Magellan! I have people waiting for me!" he shouted, though his voice wavered slightly. The poison was taking its toll.

From the sidelines, Kai could only watch in frustration, beads of sweat dripping from his brow. He could barely keep up with the fight, constantly dodging Magellan's venomous attacks while supporting Luffy with ranged magic.

Kai groaned, muttering under his breath. "This is ridiculous… I'm fighting a guy who could one-shot me, and I'm not even at full strength! Luffy's not ready for this, I'm not ready for this!" He fired off another Magic Glintblade, the ethereal swords clashing harmlessly against Magellan's toxic armor. The warden didn't even flinch

Kai's system buzzed again, a warning flashing in his mind.

[Warning: Poison Resistance Expiring in 10 Seconds.]

'Damn it!' Kai cursed internally. The Immunizing Cured Meat's effects were wearing off, and Magellan was already closing in for another strike. He had no time to react. As the five-minute resistance faded, the Venom Demon unleashed a massive attack, sending waves of poison crashing towards him. Kai could only watch in horror as the dark, venomous mass struck him head-on.

"KAI!!" Luffy screamed as the poison engulfed him.

Kai's entire body felt like it was on fire. The poison began tearing him apart from the inside, every nerve in his body screaming in agony. His vision blurred, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground. He couldn't even summon the strength to cry out—it was the worst pain he'd ever felt in his life.

'It's… tearing me apart!' he thought, barely able to think clearly. 'I've got to… I've got to use the boluses… before I die.'

With trembling hands, Kai reached for the Neutralizing Boluses in his inventory. It took everything he had just to bring them to his mouth and swallow. As the antidote took effect, he felt the poison slowly retreating from his system, though the pain still lingered.

[Poison Neutralized.]

Immediately after, he consumed another Immunizing Cured Meat, desperate to reestablish some resistance.

[Immunizing Cured Meat Consumed. Poison Resistance Increased by 80%. Duration: 5 Minutes.]

'That was too close… I can't keep this up. We'll never beat him. It's been five minutes, and his health bar barely moved! It's like we're stuck in a JRPG, fighting a final boss at level one!'

"Straw Hat, your time is up!" Magellan declared, venom dripping from his mouth. His attention suddenly shifted to Kai, his eyes narrowing as he noticed the Neutralizing Boluses taking effect on Kai's poisoned body.

Magellan's expression darkened. "You... You're more dangerous than I anticipated," he growled. "A man who can neutralize my poison cannot be allowed to escape. Bedroom Bandit, because of your interference and Straw Hat's foolish escape plan, I have no choice but to use my full power."

Kai's eyes widened, dread filling his chest. "Wait, what? Full power!?"

Magellan raised his arms, summoning a swirling mass of deadly poison that began to coalesce into a giant, skull-faced figure of pure venom. "Venom Demon: Hell's Judgment!" he roared, as the enormous, toxic entity took form, its presence choking the air with lethal miasma.

Kai's heart sank. He recognized this form from the anime—an unstoppable, deadly manifestation of Magellan's Devil Fruit powers. His mind screamed in panic.

"I'm not dealing with this! We're gonna die if that thing touches us!" Kai yelled, already turning on his heel. Without hesitation, he sprinted toward Luffy, grabbing the back of his collar. "WE'RE RUNNING!"

Luffy, still wanting to fight, looked back at Kai in confusion. "But Kai, we haven't—"

"No! Shut up! We're leaving NOW!" Kai shrieked, yanking Luffy backward just as the Venom Demon surged forward. "Do you want to melt!?"

As they bolted, Luffy finally seemed to grasp the severity of the situation. Reluctantly, he followed Kai's lead. "Fine, fine! Let's get out of here!"

Kai gritted his teeth, glancing behind them at the towering Venom Demon. "That thing will dissolve us like pudding if we don't move! Hurry!"

.....

Luffy and Kai's group finally reached the top level of Impel Down, the harsh sunlight blinding them momentarily as they burst onto the open platform. Behind them, the massive prison tower loomed ominously, and in front of them, the vast ocean seemed so close, yet so far. With no ship in sight and Magellan hot on their tail, the group found themselves trapped.

"Where's the damn ship?! What the fuck has Crocodile and Jinbie been DOING!" Kai growled, his eyes scanning the horizon in desperation. The heat of the battle, the poison still burning through his veins despite his countermeasures, and the sheer exhaustion from the endless running made every second feel like an eternity.

Luffy, panting beside him, still had that stubborn grin plastered on his face. "We'll find it! No way we're getting caught here!"

But before Kai could respond, a terrifying roar echoed from behind them. Magellan was catching up, and fast. His massive form lumbered through the doorframe, venom dripping from his body, and a menacing grin split his face. "You won't escape! No one has ever escaped me! Not Straw Hat Luffy, not any of you!" Magellan's voice boomed, venom spilling into the floor as his monstrous devil fruit power started flooding the platform. "I'll make sure you all rot in this prison for eternity!"

"Oh, great... as if this day wasn't bad enough," Kai muttered under his breath. 'I already got poisoned, almost died, and now I'm about to fight the venom king himself! Just perfect!'

Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a loud crash. The floor beneath them shattered, and a massive figure burst through the debris, flying into the air.

"DEATH WIIINK!" came a familiar voice, and within moments, Emporio Ivankov, in his gigantic head form, shot out of the ground with the force of a cannonball.

Kai blinked, momentarily stunned as Iva soared through the air, a massive smile on his face. "This... might be our chance! Iva's here to—"

Before he could finish that thought, Ivankov slammed headfirst into the metal ceiling above them. There was a comically loud clang, and Iva's oversized head bounced back, wobbling in mid-air for a split second before he collapsed face-first onto the ground with a loud thud.

"..."

Everyone stood still, including Magellan, whose poison stopped dripping for just a moment in sheer confusion.

Kai's eyebrow twitched as he stared at Ivankov's unconscious form lying on the floor, drooling slightly. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" he exploded, his frustration finally boiling over. "Right when we needed him most! This is the worst luck ever! What kind of idiot knocks themselves out right after their grand entrance?!"

Magellan closed in, his menacing form towering over the group as his Venom Demon: Hell's Judgment loomed like a nightmare made real. The massive skull-shaped poison entity oozed venom from its monstrous form, ready to finish them all. The deadly aura thickened around them, choking the air with the overwhelming stench of poison.

"Straw Hat! And you Bedroom Bandit! This is the end for you all!" Magellan roared, his voice echoing with malicious intent. "You will never escape Impel Down! I will see to it personally!" His venomous hands stretched out, ready to engulf them in a lethal tide of poison.

"Damn it!" Kai gritted his teeth, standing beside Luffy, his body still aching from the earlier poison exposure. 'We're not ready for this! This guy is on a whole other level!' He cursed under his breath as the sheer force of Magellan's attack closed in.

But Luffy wasn't about to give up. His expression hardened with determination. "Gear 3!" he shouted, biting down on his thumb and blowing air into it, causing his arm to expand to a massive size.

At the same time, Mr. 3 moved into action. "I'll set up another Candle Wall!" he said, summoning a massive barrier of hardened wax. Luffy slammed his enormous foot into the wax wall with his Gigant Stamp, launching it with all his might directly into the Venom Demon: Hell's Judgment.

"Gomu Gomu no… GIGANT STAMP!" 

The impact was immense, the collision of wax and poison creating a monstrous shockwave. Magellan staggered back slightly, his venomous form buckling under the force, but he wasn't done yet. His massive poison hands dug into the prison walls, gripping it tightly as he started to push back with terrifying strength.

Luffy and Mr. 3 struggled to hold him off. "He's pushing it back!" Mr. 3 yelled, his face pale as the wax began to crack.

"Not good! He's too strong!" Luffy shouted, his feet sinking into the floor from the effort of holding his Gigant Stamp in place.

Kai, watching the wall slowly crumble, knew they didn't have much time. 'Damn it! If this wall breaks, we're dead!' With no other choice, he summoned the power of his Glintstone Staff. "Glintstone Arc!" he shouted, channeling the magic through the staff. Blue energy crackled as a wide blade of arcane energy surged forward, slicing through the air.

The Glintstone Arc connected with Magellan's poison hands, slicing them cleanly. Magellan's eyes widened in shock as the arc severed his hold, sending him stumbling backward.

Luffy, sensing the chance, gave one final push. "Now's our chance!" He roared, and with a mighty kick, the wax wall smashed into Magellan's Venom Demon, sending him crashing back and buying them precious time.

But the wall was already crumbling. Mr. 3's creation began to shatter under the strain, leaving them with only seconds before Magellan could recover.

"We need to go!" Kai shouted, his heart racing.

Luffy quickly rushed to Ivankov, who was still unconscious on the ground. "Iva! Wake up!" He shook him desperately.

Ivankov stirred groggily, his massive head wobbling. "What… what's going on?" he muttered, still dazed from his earlier knockout.

"Do your Death Wink! NOW!" Luffy shouted. "Everyone, grab onto Iva's face!"

Without wasting a second, everyone leaped onto Ivankov's giant head, clinging on for dear life.

Ivankov blinked in confusion but quickly regained his composure. "Ah! I see now, Straw Boy! Get ready!" With a mighty flex of his face muscles, he unleashed the force of his signature attack. "DEATH WIIINK!"

A massive burst of air exploded from Ivankov's face, propelling the entire group like a rocket towards the sea.

Just as they were launched into the air, Magellan recovered, venom dripping from his body as his eyes burned with rage. "YOU WON'T ESCAPE!" he roared, preparing another attack.

But it was too late. The group had already been blasted off the platform, soaring into the open sea, the wind whipping past them as they flew through the air.

Kai, clinging onto Ivankov's head with everything he had, screamed out at Magellan one last time. "FUCK YOU, YOU POISONOUS PIECE OF SHIT WARDEN! I HOPE YOU RUN OUT OF TOILET PAPER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!"

//********************************************************\\

Behind them, pockets of chaos erupted; the roar of Impel Down's alarms faded into distance. The cluster of five cut through the sky, Ivankov's Death Wink sending them on a makeshift flight path that was anything but graceful. The salty wind whipped across their faces, and there was one short, shining moment when freedom actually seemed within grasp.

But not without one last, unexpected hitch.

Jinbe was still in the sea, swimming. His large hands were clasped together as he focused on the deep waters below, eyes narrowing in determination. 

"Now, come to us!" Jinbe muttered, his voice firm and commanding.

Then, the ocean replied. Deep below, huge forms began to stir, their outlines projected onto the churning water. The three whale monsters burst to the surface in a huge splashing heave, their bodies black and sleek in the dull light. They let out low, deep calls, and there was something almost reassuringly comforting about their presence.

Midair, Ivankov's large form was thrown off balance by the sudden change in momentum. "Ooooh!" he cried out, arms flailing as he went hurtling headfirst toward one of the whales. With a dramatic splat, Ivankov crashed directly into the side of the massive creature; the impact rippled through the water as he bounced off. The whale barely reacted, though, simply dipping its head to allow Ivankov to land gracefully on its back.

The rest weren't very far behind him, either. Kai, Luffy, and the rest of the prisoners managed to make it onto the whales in a graceless manner, sliding to stops on the slick skin or crashing down gracelessly but managing to hold on.

Kai flew well and landed on the back of one of the whales without making any noise at all. A wide smile spread across his face; what a view: chaos mid-air transformed into a weirdly perfect landing onto the backs of whales, courtesy of Jinbe's mastery over the sea.

"Ah, just like it should be. Smooth escape, boys!" Kai said, his tone light with humor, but a thread of satisfaction at the faultless landing filtering through. He leaned back with an air of casualness, as if these sorts of things happened any day.

At a pace, the whales steadied and began to move, carrying the group toward the escape ship that was waiting just beyond. The sleek ship stood ready on the horizon, its white sails billowing as it bobbed on the waves. Onboard were Buggy, Crocodile, and Jinbe who had just gotten on board after calling upon the whales. They stood waiting with the rest of the prisoners who made it out earlier.

Those huge whales moved extremely fast and with such grace through the sea, taking the escapees right up to the ship. Kai leaped off the whale's back, landing smoothly upon the ship's deck next to Luffy and the rest.

Buggy was already rejoicing at the sight of them. "Hahahaha! We did it!" he yelled, throwing his arms into the air, as if this had been his plan all along. A group of prisoners quickly crowded around him, cheering wildly. 

"Buggy-sama, you're a genius!" one prisoner yelled, starry-eyed from Buggy's apparent 'brilliance'.

"Buggy-sama, the true mastermind!" added another as he lifted Buggy high up in the air, holding him like a hero.

Kai lit an eyebrow, clearly entertained at how ridiculous this all seemed. "of course the mastermind himself!" he said, clapping his hands together with a smirk.

He stepped backward as the prisoners swarmed Buggy, celebrating their just-acquired freedom. Even Crocodile, who leaned against the railing with his arms crossed on the deck, managed a small sarcastic smile at the scene.

The more the rejoicing continued, the more he saw an elderly man come through the crowd toward him. The man had been bent by age. He had seen him before. It had taken a while, but Kai realized that it was on Level 3. The old man stopped before Kai and reached his gratitude in his eyes.

"Thank you… for freeing me," the old man said in a quiet voice and bowed respectfully.

Kai blinked in surprise, never having expected thanks. Fumbling for a reply, Kai nonchalantly waved his hand "Oh, yeah! No need to thank me, old man."

The man smiled genially and off he went; leaving Kai scratching his head with an awkward smile . 'I totally forgot about him,' Kai muttered under his breath. 'Must've been Inazuma and Ivankov who freed him before they fought Magellan in Level 3.'

Meanwhile, the prisoners remained on deck, hoisting Buggy up onto their shoulders and cheering at every movement of his.

"Buggy-sama! Pirate lord of freedom!"

"Long live Buggy-sama!"

Buggy, predictably enough, was in his element, his face puffing with pride. "Yes, yes! That's right! I'm the greatest!" he loudly proclaimed, utterly ignoring how insane the breakout had actually been.

Not everyone cheered, though. Clear-headed and having watched the whole scene unfold before him, Jinbe stepped forward; his deep voice cut through the din as he spoke to the crew.

"Do not cheer too early," warned Jinbe, heavy with seriousness.

Everyone turned to him, the cheers dissipating as they now saw the grim look in his face. Kai furrowed his brow and stepped forward. "What do you mean?" he asked. 

Jinbe pointed ahead, toward the horizon.

And there it was-their final obstacle, the Gates of Justice.

It was a towering structure that stood colossal, almost a wall between them and their freedom. The monumental and huge gates, that used to admit whole fleets in happier times, began their ponderous operation of closing; the growling murmur of the laboring old mechanism sullenly caught across the water by the silent onlookers.

A wave of tension spread through the escapees, and the looming Gates of Justice seemed to creak ever closer to shutting. Kai watched them frustratedly, feeling the moment weigh heavily. How could their escape be cut off when they were this close to freedom?.

But then a thought fluttered in his head-something that had never occurred to him in the heat of the battle and flight. Kai's eyes scanned momentarily, narrowing as he peered into the faces on deck.

Wait a minute." he told himself. In an instant, it clicked: a lightbulb struck his cerebrum. He faced the closing gates once again but showed no anxiety this time; rather, a calm comprehension was written on his face. "Mr. 2 isn't here."

How peculiar that the words seemed to be decisive in his mind, yet the more weight they held in his brain, the more his nerves weighed with them. Gone was the wildly overstated, loyal friend who had fought alongside them just hours earlier-Mr. 2 Bon Clay. And if he was gone, it could mean only one thing.

Kai breathed deeply, and his shoulders sagged with a resigned sense of peace. "I see," he said softly. "What a pity." 

***

In the docks of Impel Down watching the escape ship ahaead, In a local environ, tension was palpable as furiously angry Magellan glared at the Den Den Mushi held in his hand. The voice of the poisonous warden, in low, venom-filled tones:.

"Bring out our hidden reserve ship," Magellan ordered. His eyes were set towards the horizon, to where the escapees were headed. "As long as the Gates of Justice remain closed, they can't leave these waters. I'll chase them down myself." 

There was a moment's silence on the other end of the line, then a shaky voice responded.

"But, sir… you just gave the order to open the gates"

Magellan froze, eyes wide as the words sunk in. A second of incomprehension, and then it hit him like a cold ocean wave. His voice thundered around the control room.

"WHAT!?"

His heart was racing while he stormed toward the control room of Impel Down; his anger bubbled to the surface much like his powers. It couldn't be, he had never issued that kind of order. The only thing running through his mind right now was how-how did this happen?

As he stepped into the control room, Magellan's eyes widened to see the flustered guards. They explained at a rush, pointing at screens around them displaying colossal gates now fully opened. 

Magellan looked around the room; his gaze fell on a figure coolly standing near the controls. His face. it was his own.

But something wasn't quite right - the stance, the slight smile; it was not him at all. Realization hit in a split second.

"I see," growled Magellan, his dangerous timbre of voice dropping an octave. "You were the one behind this, Bon Clay."

Bon Clay whirled, perfectly mimicking Magellan's stance down to the last venomous detail in his appearance.

"Magellan-sama~!" Bon Clay exclaimed melodramatically, spinning on one foot with a wink. "Looks like I gave the order after all~!"

Magellan's eyes wide in anger as he realized what happened. Bon Clay had managed to use his powers with the Mane Mane no Mi and impersonate him, ordering the opening of the Gates of Justice while he had been busy countering the breakout.

"You…," Magellan growled, his fists clenched. Bon Clay had bought precious time for the escapees-enough time to slip through the one thing that could trap them.

Magellan's fists then began to clench as venom started to ooze from his fingers, sizzling as it came into contact with the cold floor beneath him. His eyes, too, blazed with anger as they locked onto Bon Clay. In a matter of moments, the deadly poison had puddled around his hands, a grim reminder of the punishment that lay in wait for the flamboyant escape artist.

"You do realize what this means for you?" said Magellan gruffly, his voice as sharp as the venomous coating on his hands.

Still clad in the face of Magellan, Bon Clay cast a pause. Even now he could feel the weight of those words, the inevitability that was going to rain down upon him in the form of an angry cataract. Yet even now, with the very specter of death looming over him, the smile of Bon Clay never faltered.

He giggled softly and slowly turned back to his normal self: large makeup, exaggerated positionings, or his signature flair. He posed once more, cocking one arm into the air in a defiant gesture. "I know," he said with a gleam in his eye.

He straightened up, his exhalation almost like the acceptance of his fate. But in his eyes shone an unshakeable resolve of a man who long ago had come to acceptance with what he did. His tone softened, but the conviction did not escape his tone.

"And I have no regrets."
