Chapter's Events:
"D... Did you mention rescuing him!? He's submerged in Magellan's lethal poison!"
Buggy grappled with the incomprehension of Bon Clay's intentions; it seemed he was willing to squander a valuable opportunity for escape all for the sake of a mere Strawhat.
"Didn't the soldiers mention he was taken to Level 5!?"
"There's no hope for him! We'd simply meet our demise like mere dogs!"
Bon Clay's visage contorted in response to Buggy's words, and he declared:
"I'm indifferent to whether I meet my end like a dog or an Okama!"
"When I turned away from Straw-Chan amidst his battle with Magellan, I abandoned not only my physical presence but my very essence...!!"
"Instead of enduring defeat or capture there, I fled... And as long as Straw-Chan persists, I pledged to return and rescue him, even if it costs me my life...!!!"
With these articulated sentiments, Bon Clay's resolve became unequivocally apparent to the pair.
However, Buggy remained indifferent:
" I'm unconcerned about your pledges; we've successfully escaped! We're secure!! Why would you willingly re-enter the perilous situation just to save him!?"
"BECAUSE WE'RE FRIENDS!!!" "I REQUIRE NO OTHER JUSTIFICATION!!!"
Bon Clay exclaimed with fervor, expressing the most unyielding rationale in the Pirate World for the act of rescuing someone.
Bentham, the young boy, attempted to wipe away his tears, yet the continuous flow of tears and mucus persisted.
"Because we're friends... Yes, yes, is there a stronger reason than that?"
"I abandoned him once, but I won't make that mistake again, huff, huff..."
Bentham cried without casting a glance at the onlookers who now observed him with a mix of curiosity and bewilderment.
"That boy..."
"Is he Bon-chan?"
"Yes, he might be. Otherwise, why would he cry and keep repeating the phrase of Bon-chan?"
"Did Rob-sama invite him to their table for this reason!?"
"If you scrutinize him closely, you'll notice a striking resemblance to a younger version of Bon-chan!"
"That's true... I've always seen him here. I didn't expect him to be a character from the manga..."
"He must take immense pride in being portrayed as Luffy's friend in the manga."
"Ah, I envy that child..."
Rob paid no heed to the hushed conversations in the restaurant, but he certainly didn't overlook the boy Bentham. The Devil Fruit he had offered remained on the table, yet the boy's focus shifted to the manga, diverting from the enigmatic fruit.
"What you're about to witness will be the most heroic scene in the life of your future counterpart."
Rob's words captured the attention of the boy, as well as Roger and the others.
On the other hand, Roger's eyes were filled with admiration as he observed the boy.
"Could I truly attain such a distinguished reputation among the okamas in the future!?"
"I'd like to see you save my son in the manga, Iva..." said Dragon.
"Did you not foresee such a scenario, Dragon?"
...
"I hold deep admiration for the character of this young man... He exemplifies true honor," commented Garp while savoring his rice crackers.
"It appears he's truly preparing to venture into the fifth floor..."
"Where is Hannyabal in the midst of all this?"
Crocodile, on the other hand, ridiculed Hannyabal, whose identity had been pilfered by his former agent.
...
Marineford:
"What the hell am I witnessing!?"
Sengoku exclaimed in frustration.
"Where is the genuine Hannyabal in all of this!?"
Momonga inquired.
"Haha! I wouldn't be surprised if he's colluding with them, perhaps blaming Magellan later," Zephyr chuckled.
"That scoundrel!!! How did this unfold!? Why hasn't the manga provided clarification yet!?"
Akainu was seething with anger at the current turn of events, hinting at yet another rescue for Luffy...
"I perceive... It's only in the face of utter despair that a new ray of hope emerges. Is this the very essence of the friendship power frequently extolled by Naruto, Gon, and Killua!?"
Tsuru reminisced about vivid instances from other realms.
"I discern a sense of justice in this okama's heart; I commend that. At least he's not a coward." Kuzan remarked, prompting Sakazuki to cast a disapproving glance at him.
"Ho~ I'm intrigued to see how he'll evade Magellan's poison... Could the Okama King possess the ability to perform miracles!"
Borsalino pondered aloud.
"Let's observe how this unfolds."
Sengoku nodded and resumed his reading.
