Just outside the Gates of Justice, the revolutionaries' ship sailed smoothly and swiftly, propelled by Dragon's controlled winds.
Even Ivankov and the other prisoners, having spent over a decade confined within Impel Down and unaccustomed to the open sea, felt no discomfort.
This steady progress confirmed they had successfully escaped the Marines' immediate pursuit. Ivankov, his massive frame sprawled across the deck, gasped for breath, while the other escapees excitedly discussed their plans for the future.
Admiral Kizaru, one of the Marines' top fighters, a powerhouse among the world's strongest, had just passed them by.
Though potentially outmatched by Dragon, Kizaru could have easily stalled their escape by engaging Dragon while Fujitora, Magellan, and the formidable Black Wing Devil pursued the revolutionaries. Two of the three were adept at aerial combat, leaving Magellan to provide support.
Capturing them would have been a simple matter, yet Kizaru chose to turn a blind eye, allowing them to escape unhindered. Dragon glanced back towards Marine Headquarters.
"It seems even the Marines are dissatisfied with the World Government. Or perhaps you were swayed by our past camaraderie," Dragon mused, though he knew Kizaru, despite his laid-back demeanor, was not one to shy away from a fight, especially with such overwhelming odds in his favor..
It seemed many would welcome the opportunity to overthrow the World Government.
"Oh, what a touching reunion!" Ivankov exclaimed, grabbing a nearby black feather coat and dramatically wiping away his tears, then blowing his nose into it, leaving a sticky mess.
...
"Caw! Caw!"
Karasu, the North Army commander, who had also participated in the rescue mission, let out a series of agitated caws, having witnessed the unceremonious appropriation of his new coat. However, he'd forgotten to activate his Devil Fruit-enhanced voice amplifier, so his protests were lost on the oblivious Ivankov.
"I understand... I understand, Karasu. You're overjoyed by our reunion and the prospect of working together again. You're a true comrade!" Ivankov declared, overcome with emotion.
Karasu, user of the Soot-Soot Fruit, is a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create, control, and transform into soot at will, had never felt so speechless. His brand new, meticulously crafted feather coat... But seeing as it was his dear comrade, whom he hadn't seen in over a decade, he let it slide.
"Compose yourself, Ivankov. Thank you for your efforts these past years." Dragon said.
"It was nothing. I didn't suffer much. It was like a long vacation," Ivankov replied, suddenly embarrassed. While he had indeed gathered valuable intel and recruited numerous allies within Impel Down.
"There will be plenty of time for reminiscing later. However, it seems a certain rat has stowed away on our ship. Let's deal with him first."
Ivankov's tears ceased as he felt a sudden shift in Dragon's demeanor. The gentle winds that had propelled their ship now turned sharp and biting, carrying a chilling undercurrent of killing intent.
..
"Come out. My winds reach every corner of the sea. I knew you were aboard the moment you stepped foot on this ship. Even Ivankov, despite his years in Impel Down, couldn't possibly possess the amount of information you have access to."
