Screen 1
Deep in Impel Down, the situation forced an unlikely alliance.
Jinbe and Crocodile joined with Monkey D. Luffy to push forward toward Ace.
Sonic watched both of them carefully.
Sonic reaction to Crocodile
Sonic's eyes narrowed the moment he saw Crocodile.
"…We're really working with him?"
He remembered enough.
former enemy
dangerous
not trustworthy
Sonic didn't step closer.
He kept distance.
"Don't get in our way," he said calmly.
There was no anger—just clear caution.
For Sonic, Crocodile is:
Useful
He would constantly watch him, expecting betrayal at any moment.
Sonic reaction to Jinbe
Then Sonic looked at Jinbe.
He paused slightly.
Different feeling.
No hostility.
No tension.
"…You're calm," Sonic said.
Jinbe's presence stood out immediately:
composed
disciplined
not reckless
Sonic didn't question him like Crocodile.
He simply accepted him faster.
"…You're with Luffy. That's enough."
Overall dynamic
Sonic's mindset in that moment:
Crocodile "temporary ally, watch closely"
Jinbe "trusted by Luffy, acceptable"
No overreaction.
No blind trust.
Just clean judgment based on behavior.
Screen 2
As the group pushed deeper through Impel Down, waves of guards and demonic prison beasts flooded the corridors.
The alliance moved together—
Monkey D. Luffy, Jinbe, Crocodile, and Sonic.
But when the beasts surged forward, Sonic broke ahead.
"I'll clear the front."
Massive creatures charged down the narrow path.
Sonic moved first.
A burst of speed—
He vanished and reappeared in rapid flashes, striking multiple targets in seconds.
One beast lunged.
Sonic ducked under it, spun forward, and knocked it aside with a fast удар-like strike.
Another came from above.
He leaped, twisting mid-air and kicking it back into the wall.
Behind him, more guards rushed in.
Sonic shifted direction instantly, weaving between them and striking pressure points with precise hits, dropping them without slowing down.
He didn't overextend.
He didn't waste movement.
Every action had purpose.
Even after Ivankov's treatment, his speed was still there—
but now slightly sharper, more controlled in short bursts.
He landed ahead of the group, path cleared again.
"…Move."
Behind him, the others followed as the corridor opened forward.
No hesitation.
No pause.
Just constant forward momentum.
Screen 3
As chaos spread through Impel Down, a new presence changed everything.
Marshall D. Teach had arrived.
The destruction escalated instantly—walls breaking, guards overwhelmed, the entire prison losing control.
Sonic stopped for a brief moment, sensing it.
"…That's him."
He didn't even need to see everything directly.
The pressure, the chaos, the way the environment reacted—
it was different from normal enemies.
He narrowed his eyes.
"Dangerous… way more than before."
For a second, it looked like he might move toward it.
But he didn't.
He turned back toward Monkey D. Luffy.
"Our target is Ace."
No hesitation.
No distraction.
Even recognizing Blackbeard as a major threat, Sonic made the logical call.
Fighting him now would only slow them down.
So instead of chasing chaos—
Sonic chose the mission.
Screen 4
As they pushed forward through Impel Down, one final obstacle stood in their path—
Hannyabal.
Unlike the others, he didn't step aside.
Even facing Monkey D. Luffy and Sonic together, he stood firm.
"I won't let you go any further!"
Sonic paused slightly, observing him.
"…He's serious."
Hannyabal charged in, using everything he had.
His attacks weren't the strongest—but they were relentless, driven by pure determination.
Sonic moved first, dodging cleanly and countering with fast, controlled strikes that pushed Hannyabal back without overwhelming him instantly.
Luffy followed up, clashing head-on with raw force.
Even then, Hannyabal kept getting back up.
Sonic narrowed his eyes.
"…He knows he can't win."
Luffy clenched his fists.
"But he's still fighting!"
For a moment, both of them understood—
Hannyabal wasn't fighting to win.
He was fighting to protect the prison and what he believed in.
Sonic stepped in again, faster this time, landing a clean strike that broke Hannyabal's stance.
"Luffy—now."
Luffy moved instantly and delivered the finishing blow.
Hannyabal dropped after the impact, unable to continue.
Silence followed for a second.
Sonic looked at him briefly.
You weren't weak."
Then he turned away.
"Let's go."
No disrespect.
Just acknowledgment.
Screen 5
Deep within Impel Down, the path forward was suddenly blocked.
Standing there was Marshall D. Teach.
He smiled—and revealed the truth.
He was the one who captured Portgas D. Ace.
For a second, everything went silent.
Then Monkey D. Luffy moved.
No hesitation
Pure anger.
Sonic saw it—and moved at the same time.
So it's you."
Luffy charged straight in, throwing everything he had.
Sonic followed with a burst of speed, attacking from the side to pressure Blackbeard from multiple angles.
For a moment, their coordination worked.
Luffy's direct strikes + Sonic's fast flanking attacks forced Blackbeard to react.
But then
Darkness spread.
Blackbeard activated his power, pulling everything inward.
Sonic felt it immediately.
What is this shit ?!"
His movement was disrupted, his speed dragged toward Blackbeard's position.
Luffy's attack was pulled in as well.
Blackbeard took the hits—but didn't fall.
Instead, he grabbed the moment and countered.
The darkness surged again, overwhelming the space.
Sonic broke away just in time, sliding back to avoid being fully caught.
Luffy was pushed back harder.
The clash ended quickly but the message was clear.
Sonic steadied himself, eyes locked on Blackbeard.
"…He's worse than I thought."
This wasn't a normal enemy.
This was something unpredictable—
and dangerous in a completely different way.
