"So, have you decided to help him... because he's Dragon's son?"
After the 10-year-old boy boarded the merchant ship, he opened the manga volume he had acquired from the art store on Centaurea Island.
The current events in the manga were incredibly exciting, with most passengers on the ship carrying the new volume and reading it eagerly.
Now everyone was aware of the relationship between the Okama King and the Revolutionary Army.
Since Inazuma saw his 'weird' counterpart in the manga, he felt curious. Even though he was just a child at the moment, his life had been tragic since he was born into this world, only stabilizing when the Hunters Guild took control of the Four Seas.
However, despite that, a child like him with extraordinary powers refused to integrate into a peaceful society. Now, after discovering he was part of One Piece manga, he wanted to know which path he should take.
"But I won't become Okama!" he shouted with complete conviction.

Chapter's Events:
—————————
"Inazuma!!! Find out the plans for Ace Boy's departures!!!"
After realizing that Luffy is his commander's son, Ivankov orders.
"Yes, right away," replied Inazuma.
"It'll be close…!! If the Vivre card is still pointing down, he hasn't been moved yet!! I'll go with Strawhat Boy to Level 6 right now!!"
Ivankov announced, surprising Luffy. "Ehh, you'll show me the way!? But to Level 6!?"
"Isn't he on Level 5!? Well, whatever, thanks! Let's go!!" Luffy exclaimed happily.
(I was careless!! I never imagined this could have happened! If Strawhat Boy is Dragon's son, then Ace, his brother, is Dragon's son as well!! Could the Marines have known about this!!?)
Ivankov began tying Ace to Dragon as well, knowing that Luffy and Ace were brothers, thinking this way was logical.
(No, there's no merit in calling down both Whitebeard and Dragon's wrath!! What is the Government really after!!?)
(Anyway, now is the time to escape!!!)
•———•———•———•———•———•
Impel Down:
"You want to escape? Zehahaha? Do you think that will be easy indeed?"
Teach crossed one leg over the other as he enjoyed reading the manga at the moment.
Noticing Ivankov's change of plans after learning the truth about Luffy, Teach felt disdain for the despicableness of what was called the protagonist's plot armor.
"These fools, Magellan and Hannyabal in the manga are terribly bad at running the affairs of the prison... I'm sure that bastard Hannyabal will be the biggest winner after Luffy's escape from prison."
Shiryu exhaled smoke from his cigar before saying so.
"Do you also think they will succeed in escaping? Zehahaha!"
"That's obvious... since this book began, Luffy has never failed in achieving what he seeks, always accomplishing it one way or another."
"Zehaha! This time he will fail, even if he manages to escape from prison, he will ultimately fail. I'm sure my counterpart will achieve what he aspires to, after all, he and I share the same goal..."
Teach paused for a moment, a mischievous smile appeared on his face, he laughed and continued. "...and ambition, Zehahahahaha!!!"
Teach's wicked laughter made Shiryu's forehead crease, for a moment he wondered if he had made the right decision in following this devilish man.

"All right, just wait, Ace!!"
"I'm coming now!"
"Ohhh…"
As soon as Luffy shouted, his strength completely gave out, and he fell exhausted once again.
"Eh…!! His pulse…" Ivankov marveled at seeing that.
"What about his pulse!?" the Okama members wondered.
"Is strong," he replied.
"It's there!!?"
"Emporio Tension Hormones!!!" Ivankov didn't hesitate to inject Luffy again, this time manipulating his body to produce more adrenaline.
"That's adrenaline…!! You'll forget your fatigue for one day!!"
"But once the day is up, it'll come back! You don't mind, do you?" Ivankov warned.

New World, Wano Country:
"Gurararara! It seems everything is going according to plan."
Whitebeard was still enjoying the Sake with his pirates and Oden.
As the primary figure concerned with the upcoming war in the manga, the Summit War, Edward Newgate was most interested in the current volume laying the groundwork for the imminent conflict.
For this reason, he read and scrutinized almost every scene, not letting anything pass without notice.
"It's strange how all these future events are portrayed in such detail, always leaving me speechless before the One Piece manga," expressed Oden in amazement.
"That's what sets One Piece apart, isn't it-yoi?" smiled Marco, who joined the conversation.
"That's true... this person, Ivankov, despite his oddity, seems to be a reliable ally for Luffy."
"Real chaos will soon erupt in Impel Down at their hands!"
"I'm excited for the war! I want to see how the Marines will push back against Oyaji's provocations!"
Jozu clenched his fists together, causing bones to crack.
"Gurarara! The Marines are being used by Teach... they know it, but they insist on using them in this manner..."
"I have a desire to ask Sengoku in the manga, is Whitebeard hated to this extent? Or is it the orders of that person who couldn't kill me alone?"
"That person?" Marco, Oden, and the others wondered.
"Figarland Garling," he said.
...
Returning to Impel Down:
"You fool! Mr. 2, Mr. 3, Buggy, and even Luffy haven't smoked! They're on Level 5! Do something!"
The current regular guard, Hannyabal, felt his life on the line as he watched his manga counterpart deal with the issue of escaped prisoners' disappearance with nonchalance once again.
"This is terrible... they weren't eaten by wolves! They're the ones who ate the wolves!"
"Hahaha! That's right, only the warden and your jobs are on the line, not mine!"
"What are you laughing at?"
Suddenly, a looming figure stood before Hannyabal, glaring at him murderously.
"W-Warden!? Nothing! I..."
"Silence! You're not following protocol in your service at all, don't forget you're just a small prison guard at the moment!"
It seemed as if Hannyabal had been slapped hard across the face.
After instilling terror in Hannyabal's heart, Magellan left for his own 'Guardian' office.
He reopened the manga book.
"Finally, it seems Ace will be transferred to Marineford now."
"That's reassuring. Moving this hot potato away from Impel Down."
Magellan didn't know that despite the hot potato being moved away, there were still plenty of troublemakers freely roaming inside the prison, plus the puppeteer behind the scenes who would soon visit Impel Down.
