The chapter title page reads "Chapter 580: THE END OF THE BATTLE". In a forest clearing, Nico Robin sits on a wooden crate holding a sheathed sword across her lap, her expression serious as she looks toward Usopp. Usopp kneels on the ground in front of her, goggles pushed up on his forehead, sweat flying as he urgently gestures with one hand while clutching an open book in the other. A small raccoon-like creature with a leaf on its head reacts in shock nearby, while another masked figure lurks in the background foliage. The scene is calm yet tense under leafy trees and hanging vines.
01
A close-up shows a man with an afro and round glasses reacting in shock with "...!!!". Beside him, a scarred, bandaged man with wild hair and a fierce glare shouts "RED HAIR!!I THE MAN WHO DRAGGED LUFFY ONTO THE PIRATE'S PATH!". A massive wide shot reveals the sea filled with ships approaching Marineford as enormous lettering erupts: "うわあああああ". Narration declares "IT'S THE RED HAIR PIRATES!!!". In the foreground, Whitebeard and his commanders react with alarm; one yells "AND NOW HE'S ALREADY HERE!!I HE WAS FIGHTING ONE OF THE OTHER FOUR EMPERORS, KAIDOU, JUST YESTERDAY!" as waves crash and the battlefield shakes.
02
Buggy is struck and sent flying, yelling "BUGGY!!". Shanks stands holding a straw hat, his face partially shadowed. Buggy panics on the ground: "REALLY!I WAIT JUST A SECOND, I'LL GET IT TO HIM! I HAVE THIS TREASURE MAP I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU...". A wild-eyed figure with a cannon shouts "GET THAT TO LUFFY!!" while another exclaims "STRAW HAT!I HMM!I". A flashback panel shows a young Shanks placing the straw hat on a child's head, saying "THIS HAT. I'LL GIVE YOU". The present-day Buggy cries out "IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS; AREN'T YOU GOING TO SEE LUFFY EVEN ONCE!" as Shanks replies with a faint smile, "BOSS! YEAH... I'D SURE LIKE TO...".
03
The flashback continues as Shanks tells the young Luffy, "WHEN YOU'VE BECOME A GREAT PIRATE. MAKE SURE YOU RETURN IT TO ME". Back in the present, Shanks looks serious, replying "BUT...". A crewmate warns, "CAPTAIN! I KNOW IT'S RARE TO SEE ONE OF THE FOUR EMPERORS, BUT IF WE DON'T GO, THE GATE WILL CLOSE!!". Shanks answers, "YEAH... WAIT, SOMETHING'S FLYING THIS WAY!". A lone panel shows Shanks with a distant expression: "IF I SAW HIM NOW,...". The final panels cut to a close-up of a battered Luffy lying unconscious as someone shouts "RIGHT, LUFFYI YOU WOULD BE BREAKING YOUR PROMISE."
04
A Marine officer in a cap glares furiously and shouts, "WHY YOU, RED HAIR!! DRAGON'S SON!!!" Nearby, another figure mutters "..." as chaos erupts. Below, a striped-hatted man yells, "HE'S GOING AFTER THE SUBMARINE!! THE OCEAN IS FREEZING!!!" A massive ice attack freezes the sea with the cry "ICE AGE"!!! Huge SFX of cracking ice (イオイオイオイオ) and impacts (パキパキ) shake the battlefield as a Marine ship is encased. "ZAPUUN!!" A voice cries "LOOK OUT!!!" while someone shouts "LWAH!" amid the freezing waves and a distant submarine fleeing the spreading ice.

Allied pirates react in shock: "...!!! THAT COULDN'T HAVE HIT THEM, RIGHTI" "ACE'S BROTHER!! JIMBEI!!!!" "DAMN IT... THEY JUST DON'T STOP!!" Aokiji activates his power, muttering "YASAKANI NO MAGATAMA." A striped-hatted man grimaces, "LOOKS LIKE HE STILL WANTS TO GO... CRAP..." Massive ice projectiles rain down with SFX (ビシッ!! ビビビッ!!) as the battlefield erupts. "UWAAA-AAAH!!!" Voices debate: "THAT LUCK WAS ON THEIR SIDE!!" "THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT," "IF THEY SURVIVED THAT..." A woman warns, "NO... THEY'RE ALIVE!!" and "AND IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THEY EVADED THE ADMIRALS' ATTACKS!!" "BUT THEY'RE ON THE SEA FLOOR!" "HURRY!! AFTER THAT SUBMARINE!!" "IT'S GONNA HIT US!! FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!" "GET TO THE SEA FLOOR!!!"

On a ship, a woman commands, "WHATEVER. FORWARD!!" A subordinate replies, "YES MA'AM!! SHE'S RECKLESS, BUT SO BEAUTIFUL..." while another asks, "BUT HOW WILL WE PURSUE THEM!I" A Den Den Mushi reports, "REPORT THIS TO THE MARINES! AS A MEMBER OF THE SHICHIBUKAI, I WILL TRACK DOWN AND FINISH OFF STRAWHAT LUFFY!!" The reply comes, "VERY WELL!" Elsewhere, Buggy confronts Shanks: "HOW DARE YOU USE ME!I" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!I DID YOU FORGET I'VE GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU, SHANKS!!I" Shanks smiles, "YUP. LONG TIME NO SEE, BUGGY." A flashback shows Blackbeard. Crew members cheer, "WE'LL FOLLOW YOU!! FOR OUR ENTIRE LIVES!!!" "CAPTAIN BUGGY...!!!" Buggy sweats, "I SAW..." as onlookers whisper, "DID YOU SEE THATI HE'S TALKING BACK TO ONE OF THE FOUR EMPERORS, THE RED HAIR!!"

07
Shanks addresses Marco, "MARCO, QUICKLY WITHDRAW YOUR MEN, AND DON'T RETALIATE." A Marine yells, "RED HAIR!!!" Shanks continues, "BUT WAIT... IF I STICK WITH THESE GUYS, I'LL BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF HERE SAFELY, RIGHT!I" Marco replies, "BUT RED HAIR WASN'T IN THE AGREEMENT. I AGREED TO FIGHT WITH WHITEBEARD." A Marine shouts, "HAWKEYE!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING!I" Shanks warns the battlefield, "ANY FURTHER CONFLICT WILL ONLY INCREASE CASUALTIES ON BOTH SIDES!!!" A voice adds, "BUT IF ANYONE STILL WANTS TO GO," as the ruined plaza and distant ships stand silent under the tense standoff.
08
Blackbeard's massive grin dominates the right side as he faces a wall of pirates. On the left, a fishman-like pirate shouts, "HOW ABOUT IT, TEACH...!! NO... BLACKBEARD!" while smaller panels show shocked reactions and sound effects like "...!!!" and "ZUKS...". Blackbeard replies calmly, "I GOT WHAT I CAME HERE FOR. IT'S STILL A LITTLE EARLY" and "ZEHAHAHA... I'LL STOP FOR NOW....!!" as he stands among his crew. The large central splash shows the opposing pirates roaring in unison: "WE'LL BE YOUR OPPONENTS!!!" and "BRING IT ON!!!" One pirate yells, "TO BE FIGHTING YOU GUYS!!!" Blackbeard laughs again, "ZEHAHAHA... LET'S GO, MEN!!" as the group prepares to withdraw. A close-up shows a bespectacled man with a grim expression watching the scene.

Shanks appears in close-up, bloodied and serious, saying, "HELP ME SAVE SOME FACE. RIGHT NOW, EVERYONE..." Nearby allies respond with "EVERYONE..." In the next wide panel, Shanks stands with his crew including a tattooed man, a bearded giant, and others amid smoke and debris. Smaller panels show reactions from various pirates and marines. Shanks turns away, gripping his sword, as the group begins to move. Background figures include a horned fighter and a suited man watching intently.

Marco the Phoenix spreads his wings in a fiery blaze above the battlefield as he carries an unconscious figure. Below, Blackbeard laughs wildly while his crew reacts in shock. A tall panel shows the ruined Marineford plaza filled with a massive crowd. Close-ups capture intense expressions: a bandaged man, a sunglasses-wearing fighter smirking, a frog-like pirate, and various Blackbeard Pirates members with distinctive Jolly Roger symbols. A Marine officer in a cap sweats nervously as the scene shifts between the pirates and the distant battlefield.

Shanks speaks firmly in profile: "WHITEBEARD, ACE... WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THEIR BURIALS." He adds, "THIS BATTLE WAS BROADCASTED TO THE ENTIRE WORLD!! I WON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO DESECRATE THEIR MEMORIES!!" Nearby, a Marine questions, "FLEET ADMIRAL!I" while another yells, "WHAT!!I TAKING THEIR HEADS WILL SHOW THE MARINES' VICTORY!" Sengoku replies, "NO MATTER!!" and "SINCE IT'S YOU, RED HAIR... I'LL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT." A wounded pirate is carried away with the line, "QUICKLY, ATTEND TO THE WOUNDED!!" The final splash page shows the devastated Marineford bay with the massive text "IS OVER!!! THE WAR" and narration boxes stating: "Thus ended the greatest battle since the opening of the Great Pirate Age. The Battle of Marineford was carved deeply into history."
