CP9's Independent Report Vol. 32: "Father and Son Plot the Obliteration of CP9"

Spandine listens to the tearstained story of his son.

Short Summary
Luffy and Buggy team up to save Ace in exchange for Luffy's armband. They face off Blugori, guards, and entered Impel Down level 1: Crimson Hell.

Long Summary
A Blugori swings his battle axe at Buggy, but since Buggy's devil fruit enables him to split his body parts, the Blugori misses. His lower part of his body lifts the Blugori and throws the Blugori in the air. Buggy uses Aerial Tailspin Big Circus to spin the Blugori when it hits the ground. But right after the Blugori starts to stand back up, he then attempts to strike Buggy. Luffy then punches the Bluegori causing it to be knocked out. Buggy becomes surprised when notices that Luffy did defeat five Blue Gorillas. The other prisoners see how Luffy and Buggy defeated the Blue Gorillas and ask for the door to be opened. Meanwhile, four guards discuss about there being a prisoner that escaped seeing another shadow.

Buggy tells Luffy that he knows Ace but refuses that he will help him. He then changes his mind after hearing that there warships waiting outside and Luffy making a deal with him. The deal is that Buggy will help him get where Ace is in return of Luffy giving Buggy his armband. Buggy then makes Luffy hold his feet and starts to lead him to level 2. Luffy gets confused of Buggy showing him to level 2 instead of level 5. Buggy briefly explains later that the more powerful the criminals are, the farther down you go. He then tells him that there might be even another floor under the lowest floor, level 5.

Buggy blurts out that Luffy's armband is Captain John's and it will lead to his treasure. He figures that Luffy didn't notice it, but he did and Buggy attempts to kill him. Luffy then hands over the armband to Buggy, even though he knows that Buggy might run away. Buggy gratefully cries because of Luffy, and plans to get away from him. He doesn't see what's behind him and runs into a wall. Luffy thinks it is the quickest way and punches Buggy through the wall. They enter the guard's room, and crash into another wall out to Impel Down level 1: Crimson Hell.

In Impel Down level 1: Crimson Hell, prisoners ask for help. Luffy and Buggy continue to fall, but Buggy insists that he has a plan and they won't be cut. He commands Luffy to throw his feet on the ground, his feet then start walking. They head for the escape route in level 1. Buggy explains that the escape route connects to level 2, and is even worst than level 1. Luffy then jumps down the escape route. Buggy plans to run away again, an Blugori throws it's battle axe at Buggy making him fall in the escape route. Meanwhile in Level 2: Wild Beast Hell, the beasts become wilder than usual. Mr. 3 sits in his prison cell not afraid of the beasts.
