Short Summary

Bentham learns that Ivankov has the ability to control hormones. He can change skin color, body temperature, sex, etc. He also discovers that New Kama Land is between Level 5 and Level 6 and that it was built by a prisoner who had the ability to tunnel. He also learns about the manager of Impel Down who is being held in Level 6. He was imprisoned because he slaughtered the convicts for fun. Bentham was also surprised to learn that Crocodile is being held in Level 6 along with Ace and Jinbe, who is a Shichibukai. Bentham is told that Luffy will fully recover in three days and by that time Ace will have already been executed. Therefore, he stays by Luffy's side and helps him recover. Meanwhile, Magellan receives word that Luffy has disappeared from Level 5. Back in Level 5.5, Luffy's screams stop and everyone is assuming he died until he bashes on the door and screams for food. Everyone is happy and passing food to him while he is taking in everything worth days of supplies. At the end, he happily screams that he has recovered.
