In order to save Ace who was being held in Impel Down, Luffy was determined to enter the prison. While there, he encounters enemies he has faced in the past. On top of that, he has to deal with guards who are both powerful and terrifying.
On this occasion, we would like to review top exciting battles in the Impel Down story. Come on, let's discuss the following together!
10. Crocodile, Jinbe, Buggy, Daz Bones vs Marine
While trying to escape from Impel Down, Luffy and the other prisoners need a ship. The only way that could be done was by hijacking a naval ship that was then in the vicinity of Impel Down.
The task was taken by Crocodile, Jinbe, Buggy, and Daz Bones. The four of them work together to defeat the marines and seize their ship. Before them, the marines were powerless.
9. Ivankov vs Magellan
Ivankov is one of the most dangerous prisoners in Impel Down. He had mysteriously disappeared. However, he showed himself again to help Luffy escape from Impel Down prison.
While heading to the exit, Ivankov and other prisoners were chased by Magellan. In order to buy time, he also tried to fight against Magellan. Even though he lost that battle, luckily he still managed to survive.
8. Luffy & Buggy vs Blugori
When he first entered Impel Down, Luffy unexpectedly met one of his sworn enemies. Yup, he is Lord Buggy. The moment of their meeting is very funny and entertaining to watch.
Besides that, the two of them have to deal with a guardian monster named Blugori. The monster is fairly tough and quite difficult to beat. However, the fight was not a big deal for the two of them.
7. Luffy vs. Hannyabal
Hannyabal is known as a highly dedicated guardian of Impel Down. He has an obsession with taking the title of chief warden from Magellan. Even though he looks strange, he is a strong fighter.
Hannyabal was involved in a fairly fierce battle against Luffy. His strength can not be compared with Luffy. However, he has a very strong determination to stop Luffy and the other prisoners from escaping from prison.
6. Luffy, Buggy, Mr. 2, Mr. 3 vs Minotaur
Minotaur is one of the Jailer Beasts that prisoners fear the most. He has the power of a Zoan devil fruit. In addition, he has a cruel and unforgiving nature towards escaped prisoners.
Luffy, Buggy, Mr. 2, and Mr. 3 was chased by a Minotaur when they were at Level 4 of Impel Down. Like it or not, the four of them must work together to defeat the monster.
5. Blackbeard vs Magellan
Apart from Luffy, Blackbeard and his crew also had trouble in Impel Down. He was trying to recruit the strongest prisoners from Level 6. Before he reached that level, he was intercepted by Magellan.
One of Blackbeard's biggest weaknesses is that he is too confident in his strength. For that reason, he was easily defeated by Magellan's poison. Luckily, he and his crew were rescued by Shilliew who was interested in joining them.
4. Luffy, Crocodile, Jinbe vs Jailer Beast
When Luffy and other prisoners tried to escape from Impel Down, they had to face the Jailer Beast. Although these monsters are scary, they are nothing in the eyes of Luffy, Crocodile and Jinbe.
The three characters issue their signature moves to defeat the Jailer Beasts. The three of them were once enemies with each other, but their teamwork was very interesting to watch.
3. Luffy & Mr. 3 vs Magellan
Magellan is the biggest threat to the prisoners in Impel Down. He has the power of the Doku Doku no Mi poison which makes him difficult to attack. He can immobilize his enemies easily.
Luffy was indeed dying from Magellan's poison, but he managed to hit Magellan with the help of Mr.'s candle. 3. Unfortunately, this method is only effective temporarily because the candle can be destroyed by Magellan's Venom Demon.
2. Luffy vs Blackbeard
Luffy first met Blackbeard on Jaya Island. At that time, he had not considered Blackbeard as a serious threat. After Blackbeard threw Ace into Impel Down, he began to harbor hatred for Blackbeard.
Whether due to fate or coincidence, Luffy meets Blackbeard again in Impel Down. Without hesitation, Luffy immediately took out his anger on Blackbeard. Despite being brief, the battle was emotional to watch.
1. Luffy vs Magellan
According to the writer, the battle between Luffy and Magellan is the most exciting and tense fight during the story of Impel Down. Even though Luffy tried to attack Magellan many times, his attacks were not fatal to Magellan at all.
The battle was an absolute defeat for Luffy until he was dying after being exposed to a large amount of Magellan's poison. However, Luffy has high luck because he managed to survive thanks to help from Ivankov.
