Summary
Level 4 is on riot, and the Demon Guards fight the Newkama army. But then, the six strongest fighters of the Newkama set up their plan to take out the thrash called Demon Guards. As they shoot down the Demon Guards, they fail in ways of power, and the enemies break free. Then the escapees; Luffy, Crocodile and Jinbei go head on at the Demon Guards; Minokoala, Minorhinoceros and Minozebra. Emporio Ivankov goes face to face with Sadi-chan and the Blugori of Saldeath. Mr. 1 and Inazuma team up, taking out guards on their way following Luffy and co. Back at level 2, Buggy and Mr. 3 have no return as they are blocked by Magellan's poison. Impel Down gets even more disgraced as the Blackbeard Pirates cause a scene at level 1, which Shiryuu must overpower. Though both the forces appear to be not wounded, they have gone away from eachother. Meanwhile at level 4, Hanyabal gets serious, going straight ahead on Luffy.
