Unleashing Chaos: The Unstoppable Powerhouses Who Escaped Impel Down

Highlights

Impel Down, a government stronghold in the One Piece world, is almost impenetrable. However, powerful pirates like Buggy, Daz Bones, and Sanjuan Wolf managed to escape.

Buggy, who was initially trapped at Level 1, managed to make a fortunate getaway and eventually rose to become a member of the prestigious Seven Warlords of the Sea. Despite lacking in physical strength, he successfully maneuvered his way to the highest ranks.

Luffy, the central character in the series, is widely regarded as the most powerful individual to have ever escaped from Impel Down. He orchestrated a momentous jailbreak and subsequently ascended to the status of one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, possessing incredible abilities.

Impel Down, situated in the Calm Belt, is renowned as one of the three principal strongholds of the government in the One Piece universe. Its location in this treacherous sea region makes it virtually impenetrable. Nonetheless, prior to the Paramount War, the prison witnessed a significant breakout.

Notably, numerous formidable pirates successfully fled from Impel Down, with some managing to escape many years earlier. Fans have witnessed the daring escapes of various prominent figures over time, though only a select few have attained the pinnacle of escape artistry.

10 Buggy

Buggy the Clown was once imprisoned on Level 1 of Impel Down. However, when Luffy infiltrated the prison, Buggy seized the opportunity and successfully escaped. Subsequently, he joined the Paramount War and, by sheer luck, became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The amusing part is that Buggy, despite not being the strongest physically, currently holds the position of one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. His head carries a bounty of 3.189 billion berries. Somehow, Buggy manages to climb his way to the top, using whatever means necessary.

9 Daz Bones

Daz Bones found himself imprisoned alongside Crocodile in Impel Down following their defeat in the Arabasta arc. They were both confined to the treacherous Level 4, notoriously referred to as Blazing Hell. During this arc, Bones reunited with Crocodile and the two managed to successfully escape. Notably, he also participated in the Paramount War, where his significant contributions left a lasting impact.

Currently, he is an active member of the Cross Guild. Fans remain unaware of the extent of his growth and strength in recent years, although it can be assumed that his experiences in the New World have undoubtedly elevated his skills to new heights.

8 Sanjuan Wolf

Sanjuan Wolf holds the title of the 7th Ship Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates and is renowned as the formidable Battleship across the globe. As an immensely powerful pirate, he was imprisoned in Impel Down's Level 6. Blackbeard eventually freed him, and now he stands as one of the most formidable Titanic Captains on the seas.

Sanjuan Wolf possesses the abilities of the Deka Deka no Mi, allowing him to further increase his already colossal size. During his battle on Pirate Island, he faced off against Garp, but unfortunately failed to leave a lasting impression on the spectators. Nevertheless, fans are aware of his considerable strength.

7 Catarina Devon

Devon, the formidable female pirate in the One Piece universe, commands the Sixth Ship of the notorious Blackbeard Pirates and is a formidable adversary. Previously incarcerated in Impel Down's level 6, she successfully escaped during Blackbeard's audacious raid.

In the present, Devon has established an impressive reputation in the treacherous New World. Enhancing her already extraordinary abilities, she has also consumed a Devil Fruit that bestows upon her the powers of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Although capable of assuming the appearance of others, certain conditions may need to be met for her to do so. Regrettably, fans have yet to witness the full extent of her true powers.

6 Avalo Pizarro

Avalo Pizarro, the Fourth Ship Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, was held captive in Impel Down Level 6 before Blackbeard liberated him. Joining the crew, he thrived in the New World. Pizarro possesses the unique ability of the Shima Shima no Mi, granting him control over islands themselves.

Notably, Pizarro displays remarkable resilience, enduring strikes infused with Conqueror's Haki from Garp. Even after taking a hit from Koby, he remained upright. Undoubtedly, Pizarro is a formidable pirate and one of the most powerful escapees from Impel Down.

5 Ivankov

Known as the Queen of the Kamabakka Kingdom, Ivankov is a formidable and highly skilled fighter. As a member of the Revolutionary Army, he holds authority over the powerful G Force. Initially imprisoned in Level 5 of Impel Down, Ivankov eventually managed to ascend to Level 5.5.

With an impressive repertoire of abilities and exceptional physical prowess, Ivankov wields tremendous power. The utilization of his Horu Horu no Mi enables him to manipulate hormones, adding an entirely new dimension to his combat capabilities. Fans can undoubtedly anticipate witnessing Ivankov reach unprecedented heights during his battles.

4 Shiryu

Shiryu, once the Head Jailer of Impel Down and regarded as equally skilled as Magellan, was imprisoned for being unable to contain his bloodlust and directing it towards the prisoners. When Blackbeard's invasion occurred, he was liberated.

However, instead of remaining loyal to his own faction, Shiryu chose to betray his people and align himself with the Blackbeard Pirates. Currently serving as the Second Ship captain of the crew, he possesses the ability of invisibility through the Suke Suke no Mi. Shiryu is an immensely formidable combatant, yet his true potential has yet to be fully revealed to his fans.

3 Crocodile

Crocodile, an esteemed pirate, was imprisoned in Level 6 of Impel Down after his defeat in Arabasta. Luffy managed to liberate him from his confinement, and they joined forces to orchestrate a prison escape. Subsequently, Crocodile participated in the Paramount War and ventured into the New World after its conclusion.

Ever since, Crocodile has garnered immense fame and now carries a bounty of 1.965 billion berries. Undoubtedly, he is among the most formidable pirates on the seas and is recognized as one of the most noteworthy escapees from Impel Down.

2 Shiki

Shiki is one of only two pirates who managed to escape from Impel Down on his own, long before Luffy even ventured into the prison. He achieved this by sacrificing his legs and possessing immense power, enabling him to defeat all the prison's inhabitants and ultimately make his escape. Shiki, once a formidable rival to Roger, demonstrated his strength by facing both Garp and Sengoku in combat simultaneously. Although his current location is uncertain, Shiki is regarded as a legendary figure in the world of One Piece.

1 Luffy

Luffy undoubtedly stands as the mightiest among all the escapees from Impel Down. His objective was to rescue his brother, Ace, yet while he did not succeed, he etched his name in history by orchestrating the most momentous prison breakout ever witnessed in Impel Down. Subsequently, Luffy ventured into the Paramount War, driven by the desire to save his sibling, but regrettably met with failure.

However, two years later, he returned, fortified and more formidable than ever. At present, he stands at the pinnacle, recognized as one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. His extraordinary abilities are unparalleled, and only a select few could even fathom challenging him in combat.
