Coby and Hancock spent the next few hours swapping stories, Hancock revealing things about her life that no one else had ever asked about. She loved reading adventure novels and was fascinated by ancient history. Coby shared a few more details about his own journey, talking about his crew, how they got stronger together with each adventure.

For Coby, these women weren't just anime characters to be ogled. Sure, they were beautiful, but it was never just about looks for him. Hancock was strong, confident, and deeply loyal to those she cared about. That's what mattered most to him.

Sure, Hancock was drop-dead gorgeous, but he kicked the asses of beautiful women before. Alvida had been stunning after eating her Devil Fruit, but that didn't stop him from smashing her to the ground. Kalifa, Shalria, the Celestial Dragon—none of them were spared just because of their looks. It was never about beauty for him; it was about character. That's why he made it a point to get to know these women beyond their appearances. Nami, Nojiko, Vivi, Robin were such women and that is why he wooed them. They all had their own strength, their own reasons for fighting. Coby respected that.

He leaned forward, watching Hancock carefully. "I really admire how strong you are. You've been through a lot, and yet here you are, leading your crew, fighting for what you believe in."

Hancock blushed lightly but didn't turn away this time. "It's not always easy, but I try. Being strong is the only way I can protect the ones I love."

Coby nodded. "That's what I respect about you. It's not just about power for you—it's about loyalty." He paused, then added with a grin, "Plus, you're not bad in a fight either."

She chuckled, a rare, genuine laugh. "You're not so bad yourself, Coby."

The next few days on the ship were peaceful. Coby and Hancock spent more time together, getting to know each other even better. As they approached Impel Down, the tension began to rise. They knew what was at stake. Coby stood on the room, staring at the massive prison that loomed ahead from the window.

Hancock joined him, her voice low. "Are you ready?"

Coby clenched his fists. "Yeah."

Without another word, they prepared to disembark, their plan set in motion. Coby would sneak inside using Hancock's Warlord status as cover. As they stepped off the ship, Coby held on tightly to Hancock under her cloak. Coby could hear the commotion from the guards stationed at the entrance of Impel Down. The iron gates creaked open slowly, revealing a towering, heavily fortified structure ahead.

When the door finally swung open, Vice-Warden Hannyabal stepped forward. He stopped just in front of Hancock, his eyes barely able to meet hers as he tried to remain composed.

"Welcome, Empress Boa Hancock!" he declared, his voice a little too eager. "It is an honor to have you here."

Hancock didn't respond, her gaze sharp and uninterested. Hannyabal's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and gestured to the woman beside him. "This is Vice-Head Jailer Domino," he said, his tone stiffening as he introduced her. "She will guide you through the security check before you enter."

Hancock followed Domino into the a vast room. The Visual Den Den Mushi positioned on the wall was recording everything. 

"Please remove your cloak," Domino instructed. "It's too easy to hide something within. Also, you'll be cuffed with Seastone handcuffs before proceeding."

Hancock slowly unclasped her cloak. Just as Domino approached to place the cuffs on her, Hancock turned, her eyes turned charming, "Go easy on me, please." Her face and words charmed even the stone. In an instant, her fingers formed a heart shape.

"Mero Mero Mellow."

A pink aura washed over the room, hitting Domino and the Den Den Mushi directly. Both the jailer and the surveillance snail froze, petrified in place. Hancock smirked slightly, satisfied with her work. "That should give us enough time."

With Domino and the Den Den Mushi turned to stone, Coby slipped out from under Hancock's cloak. His eyes quickly scanned the room. "Looks clear."

Coby touched Domino's face with his right hand, activating Mr. 2's powers. The transformation was instantaneous, his features shifting into an exact replica of Domino's. He examined his new appearance briefly, satisfied with the result.

Hancock, standing nearby, narrowed her eyes, jealousy flickering across her face. "Why are you touching her?" she asked, her voice carrying an edge.

Coby glanced at her, raising an eyebrow. "Relax, it's just part of my power. I can turn into anyone I touch." He smirked, giving her a quick once-over. "I can even turn into you now."

Hancock calmed down after hearing Coby's explanation. With a sigh, she nodded, signaling for Coby to act.

Coby immediately activated Geppo, jumping high to the ceiling. He positioned himself above the Den Den Mushi's line of sight, using the shadows to stay hidden. Once he was secure, Hancock focused her attention back on Domino and the surveillance snail. She undid the petrification. With Domino back to normal, Hancock handed over her cloak as if nothing had happened.

Domino, unaware of what just transpired, proceeded with the inspection as planned. She attached the Seastone cuffs to Hancock's wrists, her professional demeanor unchanged. "This is standard procedure," Domino said, her voice stiff and robotic. The cuffed Hancock stepped through the door where Hannyabal was waiting.

As the door swung open, Coby slipped through silently, using Shadow Step to keep himself hidden from view. He moved quickly, gliding behind the Marines, unnoticed. He had thought briefly about replacing Domino earlier, but with her in a petrified state, he couldn't remove her clothes. There had been no spares lying around, so that plan had to be scrapped.

As Hancock took the elevator with Hannyabal and the others, Coby separated from them, slipping unnoticed into the shadows. It was time to put the plan into motion.

"Who should I turn into?" Coby muttered to himself as he scanned the faces in his library. There were so many options to mess with. "Crocodile? Nah, too high-profile. Lucci or Blueno? Hmm... Mr. 3? Nah, too trash. Enel? Not known enough down here on the Blue Sea. Aokiji or Garp? They're not really bad-bad, so no point in screwing them over." Coby smirked as he thought about Kizaru. "Would've been interesting to turn into that guy for sho, but I didn't get to touch his face."

Shrugging, Coby transformed into Duval's old self, his smirking face twisted into the ridiculous visage that once haunted Sanji's wanted poster. He half considered turning into Sanji, but the thought left a bad taste in his mouth, so Duval's face would suffice.

Activating Absalom's invisibility powers, Coby became a ghost in the shadows, unseen and undetected by the guards roaming Impel Down's halls. His footsteps were silent as he moved. Coby crafted wax keys as he passed by each cell, tossing them in with a swift flick of his wrist. Chaos was essential. If he was going to stir up trouble and create enough distraction, releasing as many prisoners as possible was the best move.

The keys clattered against the bars, drawing the attention of the inmates inside. Confusion rippled through the prisoners as they stared at the wax objects lying on the cold floor. Some, more daring than others, snatched them up, fumbling with the locks.

"Heh, what's this?" one of the prisoners muttered, shoving the key into the cell lock. A grin spread across his face as it clicked open, the door swinging free. "We're out, boys!" he roared.

Others followed suit, the sound of cell doors creaking open echoing through the prison. Inmates began pouring out into the corridors, their faces twisted with glee as they realized freedom was within reach.

Coby, still invisible, slipped past the crowd of escaping prisoners, weaving through the chaos he sparked. Guards were already scrambling, shouting orders and rushing to contain the sudden outbreak. But it was too late—the riot was in full swing.
