Episode 439

Summary
While Ivankov is dancing around and joking with his followers, an intruder interrupts and declares that his father, once a king, one day paid a visit to Kamabakka Kingdom - and came back an Okama! Because of this, the king's country and family were ruined, and his son was reduced from his princely state to a mere pirate. He fires his handheld cannon in vengeance, but Ivankov uses his Death Wink to repel the cannonball back at him, he then injects the burly man with female hormones and transforms him into a sexy female lady with huge female features. The intruder flees in embarrassment. After witnessing this "miracle", Mr. 2 begs Ivankov to save Luffy. Ivankov leads Mr. 2 down a deserted corridor and says the only reason he helped them was because Luffy, writhing in pain, begged them to save his friend earlier. He has been under treatment for 10 hours.

Meanwhile on Level 5, Buggy and Mr. 3 are seen running away from wolves on stilts made from wax. Ivankov and Mr. 2 arrive outside a door that has been chained shut, through which Luffy's screams of agony can be heard. Ivankov informs Mr. 2 that Luffy still has 2 more days of treatment to endure. Meanwhile Luffy, chained down inside the chamber, recalls the memory of himself and Ace as children laughing and talking by a cliff overlooking the ocean. At the end it is declared that only 16 hours are left until Ace's execution.
