Brr, it's really chilly here ... The floor was even worse than the previous one, I can handle heat better than cold. Although, it's probably better to freeze than to burn, I don't even know ...
Walking calmly around the neighborhood, I tried to find a place where the Newkama are located, the so-called Newkama Land or floor 5.5.
After about ten minutes of searching, in one of the corners of the prison, I felt a large accumulation of auras. They differed in that they were not barely alive, like those of local prisoners, but were brighter. I headed in that direction and found an inconspicuous rock. After removing the snow from there, I opened a hatch resembling a door and went inside ...
It was warmer than outside, and the further I went the louder the sounds became. It was a laugh, a slightly unpleasant laugh ...
When I finally came to the big door, the laughter was already very strong, I even got goosebumps down my spine. Brr, maybe I shouldn't have come here? Eh ... Ivankov should be pulled out, he is an important person in the revolutionary army, and they are quite useful. If they are at war with the world government, then they should be helped.
I sighed and opened the door. Perhaps I shouldn't have done this, because the sight that unfolded in front of me slightly spoiled my psyche. A bunch of men in women's clothes, and even with cosmetics and jewelry, just horror ...
They paid attention to me and someone shouted:
- We have a new one! Newbie, come to us!
Then they started to run up to me and greet me. I was a little uncomfortable, but they didn't seem to be aggressive, so I didn't touch anyone either.
I looked at one of them and asked:
- Where is Ivankov here?
- Eh? Are you looking for a queen? Why do you need a queen?
I looked menacingly at the man, or ... in general, I looked at him menacingly and said:
- I came to get his ass out of here and I don't have much time, where is Ivankov?
- Mmm-fu-fu-fu, dear, did you come for me? - Suddenly a voice was heard from the crowd. Then everyone parted and I saw him. Emporio Ivankov, a big man with a disproportionate body and a bunch of makeup. In this world, this is not considered weird, so I am no longer surprised. His Afro hairstyle was dyed purple, and he was dressed in women's clothing, like everyone else.
I looked at him and nodded.
"Yes, I think Dragon will benefit more from you if you can get out of here.
- Dragon? Is ... Is Dragon finally coming for me? - Ivankov asked with joy in his voice.
- What's the difference? Pack your things and your friends, I'll pick you up. - I didn't want to answer his questions. As far as I remember, this "guy" has been waiting for Dragon for several years, and if he finds out that I am not from him, he may not agree to go with me. Of course, it didn't bother me much, but it was easy for me to pull it out, and there might be some benefit from it.
Ivankov, of course, did not calm down and asked a bunch of questions, I ignored him and made him hurry. When they finally gathered, I pulled everyone into the space of darkness and left. Many stayed here, well, it's their choice ...
I felt worse from this place than from the fifth and sixth floors of revenge taken, so when I left, I exhaled with relief. In principle, I could not have taken them, but I just wanted to, in the canon they helped Luffy, and I wanted to do at least something. I won't say that the Straw Hats are my friend, but I have a lot of respect for him. Although, I guess I respect that Luffy from my past ... If not for those memories, then I probably would not be here now, would not have the current strength and such good nakamas.
Okay, I got distracted, it's time to go to the last floor, I can't wait to spill blood ...

Marineford.
At the main watch base, it was quieter than ever. It was the calm before the storm, with a couple of hours left before the world was announced about the true origins of Portgas D. Ace. Very soon a great battle would break out here, none of the arriving Marine officers doubted it. Everyone was ready, someone was afraid, someone was waiting carelessly, and someone was eager to fight.
In a small office there were two older men. One was Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the other was Monkey D. Garp, Vice Admiral and Hero of the Marines.
* BAM! *
When Sengoku received another bad news, he smashed Den Den Mushi to pieces along with the table.
This behavior slightly surprised Garp, his friend, although he is often angry, but not so much. Probably something serious has happened ... He put down the packet of cookies and asked:
- What happened?
Sengoku gritted his teeth and said:
- That bastard again ...
- In terms of? Who are you talking about?
- James D. More! While we are making plans here and preparing for battle, this damn bastard made his way to Impel Down. Magellan is killed, many prisoners have caused real chaos, and no one knows what will happen next!
Even Garp was no longer laughing at this news, he didn't say anything and was just silent.
Sengoku sat down on a chair and sighed.
- To hell with it, after this battle I will retire, let the others deal with this madman, Roger was enough for me ...
- And Roxa ... - Garp said with a strange sadness in his voice.
- What? What has he got to do with it?
Garp sighed.
"He got rid of the Tenrjubito like it was dirt. Roger was fearless, but Rocks ... He was just a madman with no weakness. Forgot what he did to the Land of the Gods? All the places where he passed turned out to be in ruins and corpses. If Pestilence is the devil of the present era, then he was the devil of the past.
Sengoku frowned and said:
- Kong told me about his royal will, that it was very similar to the one that he had ... Maybe he is his relative?
Garp snorted.
- Impossible, I would know about it for sure.
- Yes? Have you not forgotten, we have Roger's son there will soon be executed, can you brainwash and try to remember something?
- I'm sure of that. - Garp answered menacingly and turned away.
Sengoku sighed.
- Okay, I'm sorry ... But we shouldn't just leave it like that, these two are alike, both impulsive and fearless so that it becomes uncomfortable.
- Yes? And what are you going to do? Garp asked with a sneer.
Sengoku shrugged and chuckled.
- I will retire, it will no longer be my problem.
- Ha-ha, you first survive this day old man.
- Who is the old man here ?! I'm actually younger than you!
