History
Past
In the past history of Impel Down, the Jailer Beasts were one of the main threats in Impel Down; due to their amazing ferocity, thirst for blood and their incredible strength.
Impel Down Arc
The Minorhinoceros was called to Level 4 to try stop the riot that had started to take place, due to Luffy and Ivankov. However, Jinbe put an end to the Minorhinoceros' rampage by sending him flying with a powerful uppercut. After Sadi recovers from her fight with Ivankov, she whips the Minorhinoceros and other Jailer Beasts and orders them to go to Level 1.
