Someone shouts, "LET'S PARTY!!" while pirates, Marines, children, and former enemies eat together under falling snow and smoke. The Marines even joke about the line between "justice" and "evil" being broken by food, asking, "WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT BOUNDARY BETWEEN JUSTICE AND EVIL!?" Smoker tells the G-5 Marines, "GO AND GET SOME SAKE FROM THE TANKER, YOU GUYS!" They ask for "JUICE, TOO!!" and answer, "WITH PLEASURE!!!" Then Smoker turns serious. He tells Luffy, "OI, STRAW-HAT-YA. WE NEED TO LEAVE THIS PLACE QUICKLY. IF WE LINGER AROUND EATING FOR TOO LONG, THOSE WHO WOULD PURSUE US ARE BOUND TO SHOW UP!! SO GO TELL YOUR FRIENDS." Luffy answers through a mouthful of food, "ALRIGHT!! I GOT IT!!" The celebration is real, but Smoker knows Doflamingo's shadow has not vanished. Page 16: The party continues, but the G-5 Marines are pulled back to duty. The children laugh, the Marines drink, and the Straw Hats eat with the same group they were fleeing beside only minutes earlier. Then the Marines shout, "VICE ADMIRAL SMO-YAN!! WE'RE GONNA HEAD TO THE ISLAND ONE MORE TIME!!" Smoker asks, "WHY..." and the answer is urgent: "WE MADE CAESAR SPILL THE BEANS ON HIS POISON GAS' WEAKNESS...!! WE CAN STILL SAVE OUR COMRADES!!" A Marine cries over the petrified soldier, "WHY'S BOKER BILL ALIBE...P?" Their loyalty to their frozen comrades overrides the party. They are not done with Punk Hazard while any G-5 men might still be saved from Shinokuni.
