When Monkey D. Luffy and Buggy infiltrated Level 2, the Basilisk attacked them, only to be defeated by Luffy's Gear 3 mode.[1] It did not appear again when the prisoners ran through Level 2 during their breakout.

Trivia[]

  • The Basilisk featured in Impel Down is more similar to a creature known as a cockatrice than a basilisk; both creatures are commonly mixed up and the description of Impel Down's Basilisk matches a cockatrice—not a basilisk.
