At that moment, the World Government knew nothing of Rocks's plans. Its reinforcements were still on their way.
Compared to the Door-Door Fruit, the Mirror-Mirror Fruit was somewhat harder to use, and no marker had been left in Impel Down beforehand.
Finding a mirror that led to Impel Down among the countless mirrors in the Mirror World was practically impossible.
