Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Beside the execution platform, a Marine communications officer hurried over to Steel Bone Kong and said urgently:
"Commander-in-Chief Kong, Shichibukai Blackbeard Teach has just led men into Impel Down and released every prisoner held there. Warden Magellan has been seriously injured and is unconscious..."
