Chapter title page: Chapter 564, "The Man Who Shakes the World." The cover illustration shows a cozy interior where Battle Kotatsu is being used like a warm tabletop shelter. A small snail sits beside it, and a tiny figure is tucked underneath the kotatsu in a room with bottles, shelves, curtains, a clock, a bed, and domestic clutter. The page is a quiet cover image separate from the Marineford battle and has no story dialogue beyond the chapter title.

Whitebeard begins moving again despite the wound from Squardo. The pirates shout, "Whitebeard is making his move!!!" and "Clear a path for him!!!" His men call, "Follow the boss!!!" and rage that Squardo was tricked by the Marines and was stupid to stab him. A Marine officer watches tensely, while Whitebeard's allies yell, "You won't get away with this, Marines!!!"

Squardo collapses in despair after realizing he was deceived. He holds his head and says, "What... what have I done...!? I'm sorry, boss...!! I'm sorry, Ace...!!" He cries, "I betrayed him...!!!" Whitebeard tells him, "Stop crying and make it up to him...!!" Meanwhile Marines worry, "Why isn't the siege wall up yet!!?" and a report answers, "Sorry!! The ice is thicker than we thought!!" Ace and other allies watch grimly.

Luffy keeps charging and shouts that Ace comes first, even though Whitebeard has already been stabbed. Jinbe and Ivankov see that the enemies have all ascended to the platform; Ivankov says, "Hmm...!! I've got a bad feeling about this..." Jinbe answers, "But the boss made his move!! It's not the time to think about it anymore." John Giant blocks Whitebeard's path, declaring, "I won't let you reach the platform, Whitebeard Pirates!!!" and the pirates recognize him as John Giant.

John Giant swings his huge blade at Whitebeard and says, "You're in my way...!! I won't let you pass!!" Whitebeard stops him at close range. The clash sends shock through the ground and Whitebeard grips the air with his quake power. John Giant screams while Whitebeard prepares to hurl him aside, showing that even wounded, the old man can still overpower a giant Marine.

Whitebeard flips John Giant and twists the battlefield itself. Marines cry, "The ground is tilting!!!" and "This isn't an earthquake!!!" Another shouts, "Don't get close to the boss!!!" Fighters tumble as the surface bends under Whitebeard's Gura Gura power. Even John Giant loses his balance, and the surrounding Marines are thrown into confusion by the impossible tilt.

The effect spreads across Marineford: not only the island but the ocean around it begins to tilt. Marines and pirates shout, "The island and the ocean are tilting too!!!" Doflamingo laughs, "Fufufufufu!! What a crazy old man!!!" Hancock worries, "Luffy, are you all right...!?" while Luffy and others struggle to stay upright. Buildings in the town crumble as the entire battlefield rolls under Whitebeard's power.

Whitebeard's quake attack smashes John Giant and sends destruction through Marineford. A Marine yells, "It'll reach the execution platform!!!" while another orders, "Go!! Crush it!!!" Massive force tears across the town and the walls, throwing debris into the air. The attack nearly reaches Ace's platform, and everyone watches the shockwave rip through the headquarters.

The strike does not hit the execution platform. Marines shout, "All right!! The town!!! It didn't hit the platform!!!" and wonder how it missed. The answer is revealed as the three admirals stand together with their hands raised, blocking the attack. The pirates recognize, "The three admirals!!!" Kizaru asks, "Ohh... why don't you go melt it, Sakazuki...?" Aokiji says, "They can't because of your ice...!!!" and Akainu notes that they should hurry and raise the siege wall.

Luffy and Jinbe recover from the shock, and Jinbe says, "That was close!! I almost fell under the ice." Luffy asks whether Whitebeard can tell who is on his side, and Jinbe replies, "His crew expected it and got out of the way!!" The Marines keep firing and ordering, "Keep pushing forward, men!!!" Across the bay, rows of Marines advance under the banner of justice while pirates watch them and say, "How frightening..." and "They all look pretty angry..."

Doflamingo laughs at the sight as the pirates are forced to keep moving. The Whitebeard pirates say, "Run!! We have to shake them!!!" and "We can't back them up if we stay here!!" Luffy sees that the obstacles are gone and says, "I can get up there!!" He launches himself with "Byooon!" and "Baku Baku!" toward the upper wall, but the siege wall begins rising in front of him. Luffy stares in shock and asks, "What!? The wall!?" while someone below demands, "Why, you...!!"

The steel siege wall rises around the bay and the pirates realize they are surrounded. Marines shout, "Hey, what's going on!? Get them all up!!!" but one side cannot lift because Little Oars Jr.'s giant body is pinning it down. The pirates notice, "The cannons are all aimed at us!!" and that the Marines built the wall as a steel defense. Others yell, "Damn it!! It's not budging! The steel's too thick!!" Luffy looks at the fallen giant and says, "Oars... you...!!"

Akainu steps forward as the Marines prepare their finishing move. A Marine says, "This is our chance...!!" Another tells him, "It's not finished... but get started, Akainu!!!" Akainu answers with the attack name, "Meteor Volcano." Great fists of magma rain down over the bay as Marines order, "Melt the ice! Destroy their footing!!!" The attack smashes into the ice and battlefield, blasting pirates into the air as the siege closes in.

Useful extra: SBS question corner page with a banner showing Ace and a wild animal. A reader writes "Garuru," and Oda jokes that he thought he heard a wild animal before moving on. Another reader asks about a One Piece artbook note saying Robin's face could be seen on Chopper's back in a "Face Fleur" concept. Oda explains it was concept art for the Skypiea arc where Robin had lost consciousness and had to be carried; he considered having her face, arms, and legs bloom on others, but it looked too creepy so he cut it. A final reader asks why Ace has freckles and jokes that their mother calls him "that freckle guy." Oda says he remembers warning the staff they would forget Ace's freckles, that they were careful, but still probably forgot them most of the time, and jokes that Ace probably does not care either.

Chapter 564 summary

Whitebeard moves forward despite his wound from Squardo, and his pirates clear a path while blaming the Marines for tricking their ally. Squardo collapses in despair over his betrayal, but Whitebeard tells him to stop crying and make amends. Luffy continues charging toward Ace as John Giant blocks Whitebeard's path, only for Whitebeard to overpower the giant at close range and tilt the entire island and surrounding ocean with his quake power. The shockwave tears through Marineford and nearly reaches the execution platform, but the three admirals block it with their combined strength. Luffy and Jinbe recover as Marines advance under their banner, and Doflamingo laughs at the chaos. The steel siege wall rises around the bay, trapping the pirates inside, though one section stays pinned by Little Oars Jr.'s body. Luffy spots the rising wall and realizes the trap. Akainu then launches Meteor Volcano, raining magma fists that melt the ice and blast pirates into the air as the siege closes in.
