• Roy recovered his cursed energy after six days and formed two of Ryomen Sukuna's Fingers in Impel Down's Level 5.5.

After consuming two of Sukuna’s Fingers and completing six days of training, Roy reached 95% of Admiral strength and prepared to lead Ivankov and the Newkama Paradise followers in an early breakout. He set the escape in motion before the Jailers could discover Level 5.5, and the group headed for Level 6 of Impel Down.

• Roy swallowed two Sukuna’s Fingers, raising his strength to 95% of an Admiral’s and improving his cursed abilities.

• Roy led Ivankov and the Newkama Paradise followers toward the tunnel to Level 6, planning to release its prisoners while Kuzan and the others were occupied.

Roy emerged from a corpse pile on Level 5, killed the army wolves, and sent Emporio Ivankov to free the prisoners while he headed for Level 6 to release its inmates. Kuzan and Garp deduced Roy’s hiding place and tried to seal the route above Level 6, unaware that Marine Headquarters could not send reinforcements; Roy approached Level 6, where Bullet awaited him.

• Roy killed the army wolves that attacked him, gave Emporio Ivankov the key to Level 5, and went to release Level 6’s prisoners.
• Emporio Ivankov freed the Level 5 criminals and led them in a fight through the stairway toward Level 4, where they overwhelmed the jailers.

• Kuzan ordered Vice Warden Domino to close the gate above Level 6, while Marine Headquarters remained too overwhelmed to send reinforcements.
• Roy continued toward Level 6, where Bullet quietly awaited him.

Roy entered Impel Down’s Level 6 to rescue Bullet and Red, then freed the imprisoned pirates and led them toward the lower levels. He, Bullet, and Red left at the front, eager to fight the Marines and jailers as the battle on Level 4 erupted.

• Bullet and Red sensed Roy arriving in Level 6, and Roy announced that he had come to save the prisoners.

• Roy, Bullet, and Red agreed to compete over who would defeat more Marines and jailers, then led the prisoners toward the lower levels as the battle on Level 4 began.

Roy arrived on Level 4 with the Level 6 prisoners and joined the battle against Magellan and the Marines. After the Marines were overwhelmed, Magellan used poison to cover his retreat to the level below, where Kuzan and Garp were waiting.

• Magellan reached Level 4, poisoned many Level 5 prisoners, and fought off their attacks and Emporio Ivankov’s group.
• Magellan recognized Emporio Ivankov’s group as prisoners from the hidden Seventh Level and poisoned dozens of okamas before Roy stopped his attack.

• The Level 6 prisoners turned the battle around, and the two Marine rear admirals were killed despite their troops’ resistance.
• Magellan spread venom and Poison Clouds across the battlefield, then retreated with his forces to the level below.

Kuzan, Garp, and Magellan gathered their forces on Level 2 to trap Roy and the other escapees, unaware that Roy had learned of their plan. Roy led Bullet, Redfield, and the freed prisoners through Level 5.5 to Level 1, where they assembled a counterattack and crept toward Level 2.

• Kuzan and Garp prepared roughly four thousand marines and jailers on Level 2 after Magellan retreated from Level 3 and reported Roy’s strength.
• Magellan apologized for failing to save his men, then joined the force as Garp vowed to kill Roy and avenge the fallen.

• Emporio Ivankov and Inazuma led Bullet, Redfield, and the prisoners through Level 5.5 to Level 1, where they found the cells unguarded.
• Emporio Ivankov opened the Level 1 and Level 2 cells, and around fifteen hundred criminals joined the group as it stealthily approached Level 2.

Roy confronted Garp and Kuzan on Impel Down’s Level 2, challenging the Marines’ claim to justice by revealing that Garp’s son Dragon had defected and founded the Revolutionary Army. Kuzan restored order and ordered the Marines to attack, and Roy rallied the criminals as the battle began.

• Garp vowed to kill Roy, and the Marines charged.
• Roy called out the Marines’ hypocrisy and urged the criminals to fight for freedom, prompting them to charge with him.

• Roy taunted the onlookers and ordered Bullet and Red to take advantage of the moment by attacking Garp and Kuzan.
• Bullet and Red resumed their fight with Garp and Kuzan, and both sides traded injuries.
• Roy summoned Divine Dogs: Totality and Piercing Ox, then successfully covered both shikigami in Armament Haki.

Roy’s Haki-empowered Shikigami helped the criminals nearly wipe out the Marines on Impel Down’s second level, leaving fewer than a hundred battered survivors. As the criminals prepared to face the three thousand Marines outside and escape, Roy exposed Crescent Moon Hunter’s plan to flee on Sanjuan Wolf and forced her to choose between obeying him and dying.

• Roy used intermediate Armament Haki to strengthen Divine Dogs: Totality and Piercing Ox, which tore through the Marine ranks.
• The Shikigami killed the Jailer Beasts and several Marine officers, while the battle left fewer than a hundred of the Marines’ original four thousand alive.
• Emporio Ivankov and the other criminals asked Roy what to do, and he warned them they still had to defeat the Marines outside Impel Down and seize ships before reinforcements arrived.
• Crescent Moon Hunter volunteered to lead Big Barrel, World, and Sanjuan Wolf to seize warships, claiming the others could remain with Roy.
• Roy accused Crescent Moon Hunter of planning to escape using Sanjuan Wolf’s Expand-Expand Fruit while drawing the Marines’ fire and abandoning the others.
• Roy gave Crescent Moon Hunter a choice: help defeat the Marines and leave with the group, or be killed on the spot.

Roy forced the Level 6 criminals to obey, then approached Garp after Garp defeated Bullet in a devastating clash that tore through Impel Down. Red defeated Kuzan and Sanjuan Wolf blocked the remaining Marines as Roy moved to confront Garp.

• Roy made the Crescent Moon Hunter and the other criminals promise to attack the Marines, then kept Sanjuan Wolf behind to prevent them from escaping.

• At dawn, Sengoku ordered the fleet to full speed, but Crescent Moon Hunter, Emporio Ivankov, and the other prisoners had already fought their way to Above Ground Floor One and planned to kill Hannyabal and the Vice Warden.

Roy unleashed Black Flash and overwhelmed Garp’s Conqueror’s Coating during their battle on Impel Down’s Level 1. As the escaped criminals struggled to save a damaged warship above, Roy began his Domain Expansion against the wounded Garp.

• Hannyabal, Domino, and the remaining jailers set themselves and three warships on fire rather than let the criminals escape, and Hannyabal died in the blaze.
• Big Barrel accidentally spread the flames with liquor, but Emporio Ivankov organized the criminals to extinguish them, and they salvaged one badly damaged warship.
• Roy and Garp continued their fierce fight while Kuzan, Bullet, and the others watched; Roy’s Shikigami were defeated, but he wounded Garp with Haki Slash: Dismantle.
• Roy used Black Flash to weaken Garp’s energy and overpower his Conqueror’s Coating, slamming him into a wall.
• Roy activated Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, filling a two-hundred-meter radius with a red field and countless slashes.

Roy unleashed his Malevolent Shrine, subjecting Garp and anyone else inside its range to relentless slashes. Garp fought his way toward the domain’s edge, but his left arm broke before he could escape.

• Roy expanded his Open Domain, and Garp dodged the first slash with Observation Haki before defending himself against a storm of attacks with Armament Haki.
• Garp was covered in wounds as Roy realized that even the domain’s sure-hit slashes struggled to overcome his top-level Haki.
• Kuzan charged into the domain to help Garp, but the slashes attacked him despite his Elementalization, forcing him to retreat outside its range.
• Kuzan realized the slashes stopped beyond the domain’s two-hundred-meter range and urged Garp to escape while throwing Ice Pillars into the domain, where the slashes destroyed them.
• Garp used Galaxy Impact to counter the slashes and Soru to rush toward the domain’s edge, but his left arm’s Haki gave out and the arm broke off.

Roy defeated Garp and the Marines in the Shrine domain, but Kuzan sacrificed himself to save Garp from a fatal slash. With Marine Headquarters reinforcements approaching, Roy decided to use Garp and the surviving Marines as hostages to secure his escape, forcing Garp to submit as Roy threatened their lives.

• Garp neared the domain's exit, but Roy's Enhanced Slash: Hachi cut toward him, and Kuzan shoved him aside and took the blow.
• Kuzan froze himself after suffering catastrophic injuries, while Garp mourned his sacrifice and swore revenge on Roy.
• A pirate warned Roy that Marine Headquarters warships were approaching, and Red and Bullet worried that their exhausted group could not withstand another fight.
• Roy revealed that he planned to take Garp and the surviving Marines hostage, and Garp realized they would become Marine Headquarters' weakness.
• Roy killed five surviving Marines and threatened to torture the rest if Garp resisted or killed himself, leaving Garp unable to fight back.

Roy led the escaped prisoners out of Impel Down aboard Sanjuan Wolf’s enlarged body, but Marine Headquarters had surrounded the Gate of Justice. Sengoku confronted them, and Roy ordered the panicking criminals to follow his commands as the Marines prepared to attack.

• Roy had Garp and the captured Marines shackled and rendered unconscious, leaving one man awake to open the Gate of Justice.
• Roy had Sanjuan Wolf enlarge himself into a living warship, and the prisoners divided between his body and a captured Marine warship.
• Sanjuan Wolf carried both groups through the whirlpools to the Gate of Justice, where they celebrated their apparent escape.
• Roy grew suspicious of the lack of resistance, and the ships emerged to find Sengoku’s fleet and more than twenty thousand Marines waiting in formation.
• Sengoku identified Roy as the man behind the prison break and declared that he would kill him, while Roy silenced the panicking prisoners and demanded they follow his orders.
