Prison Escape Team

The Prison Escape Team was a temporary alliance formed with the goal of escaping Impel Down and travelling to Marineford to join the Summit War.

Alliance Strength
The team consisted of several extremely formidable fighters, including a Super Rookie, two former Warlords of the Sea, and officers of the Revolutionary Army. In addition to these major figures, the team included hundreds of prisoners, many of whom had bounties worth tens of millions. In total, 241 prisoners belonging to the team managed to escape from Impel Down in the first mass breakout in the history of the prison, and subsequently caused chaos in the Summit War of Marineford.

Impel Down Arc
When the intruder Monkey D. Luffy arrived at Level 6 of Impel Down and discovered that his brother Ace was already taken away, he resolved to go to Marineford to rescue him. A team-up was then suggested by Level 6 prisoners Crocodile and Jinbe who wished to take part in the Summit War, and the two joined Luffy, Invankov and Inazuma on the mission to break out of the prison.

Marineford Arc
The team made a grand entrance to the Summit War by falling from the sky, after their ship had been lifted by tidal wave caused by Edward Newgate.

Legacy
After the temporary alliance ended, the fallout of their escape caused ripples throughout the world. With Impel Down's collapsed infrastructure, the Blackbeard Pirates invaded the prison and recruited five Level 6 prisoners. An unknown number of Level 6 prisoners escaped, as well.

Luffy, Jinbe, and Rayleigh returned to Marineford to ring the Ox Bell and signal the Straw Hat Pirates to train for two years before reconvening at Sabaody Archipelago. Because Luffy freed Jinbe, they formed a strong bond and eventually became crewmates.

Ivankov returned to Momoiro Island with Inazuma and the Level 5.5 Newkama, and he met Sanji, training and traumatizing him.

Crocodile and Daz Bonez traveled to the New World and alluded the Marines. Later, Crocodile and Mihawk would become subordinates under Buggy as part of his organization, Cross Guild.

Buggy gained many strong, notorious subordinates for his crew, including Galdino, and was invited to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea. After his title was revoked, he became one of the Four Emperors and formed the Cross Guild, with former Warlords Crocodile and Mihawk working alongside him.

Following the alliance's successful escape, Hannyabal replaced Magellan as Impel Down's warden. The latter was demoted to vice warden.

As the only member of the Prison Escape Team who did not escape, Bentham became the new queen of Level 5.5.
