Crowds cheer as Marine Headquarters announces to the world, "The Marines have won!!!" and "The legendary pirate Whitebeard was defeated!!!" The page calls this a message from Marine Headquarters to the entire world. Elsewhere at sea, the report reaches X Drake's ship: "We're announcing... zaza... from Marineford Bay..." His crew calls, "Captain Drake!!" and the narration says that at the stage for the battle at the summit, there are seven ships on the waters of Marineford's bay. Page 2: The narration says these men who will carry the new pirate age would not have missed this juncture in history for anything. The Supernovas and other pirates watch the smoke rising from Marineford as proof of the establishment of a new age, feeling the age's frenzied flow upon their skin. One pirate says, "Looks like it's over..." while X Drake notes, "The Marines have won out... and things will change!" Another voice warns that in a little while Whitebeard's territories will become seas of blood. The page frames the end of the war not as peace, but as the start of a violent scramble.
