## One Piece Chapter 553, pages 6-7: Ultimate Showdown - Chapter: 553 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Dracule Mihawk, Tsuru, Donquixote Doflamingo, Marines, Vice Admirals, Whitebeard, Whitebeard Pirates, Jozu ### Summary Page 6: The battle turns chaotic across the ice. Pirates leap and slash while one yells, "Cut 'em down and move into the bay~~!!!" Marines are shocked that so many vice admirals are gathered in one place and say even the Buster Call pales before this. Tsuru tells the younger Marines not to get impertinent and to fall back, while attackers order ships smashed against the ice. Mihawk steps forward and says this is merely conjecture, but he wants to measure the true distance between himself and that man. Doflamingo laughs that Mihawk is actually going to fight, and Mihawk prepares to test Whitebeard's reach. Page 7: Mihawk unleashes a gigantic sword slash toward Whitebeard. Pirates and Marines scream "Hawkeye!!!" as the cut tears across the frozen bay with terrifying force. The attack, called the world's greatest sword strike by those watching, is suddenly stopped before it reaches Whitebeard. The blocker is revealed as the third division commander, "Diamond" Jozu, whose body turns into diamond as he intercepts the slash. Whitebeard smiles at the challenge while the battlefield realizes that even a strike from the world's strongest swordsman can be met by Whitebeard's commanders.
