## One Piece Chapter 555, pages 2-3: Oars and the Conical Hat - Chapter: 555 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Little Oars Jr., Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard Pirates, Marines, Whitebeard allied captains, Whitebeard, Vice Admiral Lacroix, Royal Shichibukai ### Summary Page 2: Little Oars Jr. forces his way deeper into the bay. The Marines scream as he smashes a warship aside and opens a path through the frozen battlefield, and one shouts, "Oars has opened a path into the bay!!!" The pirate side yells "Charge!!!" and surges after him, using the route his massive body creates. Oars is wounded and under heavy fire, but his strength lets the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies advance toward the plaza. The page turns him into a living battering ram aimed at Ace's execution platform. Page 3: The Marines reinforce the inner bay while Oars keeps advancing. Vice Admiral Lacroix appears among the Marine forces, and Whitebeard tells his men there is a difference between being heroic and being plain suicidal. Oars shouts that he wants to save Ace as soon as possible and believes he can take down at least one Shichibukai, while Whitebeard orders others to go back Oars up. Marines shout that the plaza defense must be strengthened and that the pirates must not be allowed into the plaza no matter what.
