Chapter 562 summary
At Marineford the pirates react in panic to a line of Pacifista weapons modeled after Bartholomew Kuma while Sabaody viewers recognize them as Dr. Vegapunk prototypes. Sengoku orders the Pacifista to target the allied crews under Whitebeard's command and the machines open fire on the ships and fighters around the bay. Whitebeard tells his men to ignore the rear attacks and push toward the square as the Pacifista continue their bombardment and the live feeds begin to cut out one by one. Kizaru intercepts Luffy and kicks him aside while Jinbe urges the group onward despite his wounds. The division commanders reach Luffy and press the advance as Curiel confronts Moria and Vista speaks with Mihawk. Buggy appears on the final remaining screen at Sabaody where he addresses the broadcast directly before his followers urge him to flee. Whitebeard calls out to Squardo who approaches from behind and suddenly runs him through with his sword leaving the battlefield in stunned silence.
