## One Piece Chapter 554, pages 5-7: Admiral Akainu - Chapter: 554 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard allied captains, Vice Admirals, Marines, Moby Dick, Dracule Mihawk, Donquixote Doflamingo, Tsuru, Whitebeard, Jozu ### Summary Page 5: The battle spreads across the ice and ships as the pirates keep charging. Whitebeard's side shouts that this will not be easy, while the Marines call out the vice admirals and Marine Headquarters forces. The frozen sea lets attackers run directly toward the plaza, but it also exposes them to cannon fire, giant troops and admiral attacks. The page emphasizes the dense clash of named and unnamed forces: allied captains lead from the front, Marine officers hold the line, and the Moby Dick remains the target as both sides push toward the center of Marineford. Page 6: The allied pirates surge forward with orders to cut the Marines down and move into the bay. The Marine side notes that even a Buster Call pales before the number of vice admirals gathered here, while Tsuru tells younger fighters not to get impertinent and to fall back. Mihawk steps forward and says the true distance between himself and that man is merely conjecture, while Doflamingo laughs, "Fufufu... actually gonna fight, are ya...?" Mihawk's decision to act signals that the Shichibukai are no longer simply watching the war from the sidelines. Page 7: Mihawk sends the world's greatest sword strike across the battlefield, but it is stopped before it can reach Whitebeard. The shock runs through the soldiers: "It was stopped!!!" and "The world's greatest sword strike was stopped!!!" The defender is the third division commander, "Diamond" Jozu, whose body has turned into glittering diamond. The impact sends shattered ice and debris flying, but Whitebeard remains untouched. Marines and pirates shout "Hawkeye!!!" as Mihawk and Jozu are set against each other, proving the Whitebeard commanders can answer even the Shichibukai's strongest blades.
