Ace, Whitebeard Pirates ### Summary Page 5: Fighters on both sides stop to stare at the crash site. Marines yell, "What just happened!?" and "Did a battleship just fall out of the sky!?" while Whitebeard and Aokiji silently register the impossible arrival. In the water, the escapees cough and complain: "Th... the ocean!!! Thank god, we fell into the ocean!" "I thought we were gonna smash straight into the ice and die!!" and "Why is this the only spot not covered in ice!?" The ship floats in the narrow open-water gap, battered but intact, with the prisoners still alive after their wild descent. Page 6: The escapees begin climbing from the water, with someone yelling, "Up! Get up on the ice!" and another comparing the ocean to prison: "This water's nothing compared to the water torture back in hell!" Crocodile mutters, "Honestly, these fruit users..." as Devil Fruit users struggle in the water. Luffy spots the execution platform and roars, "A~~ce~~~!!! ...!!! I finally found you!!!" Ace cries back, "Luffy!!!" Marines nearby shout, "No time to be dwelling on just him!! Who the hell are these guys!?" and someone recognizes Crocodile, saying, "Oi!! That can't be... Crocodile!!?" Page 7: Luffy and the Impel Down escapees stand revealed before Marineford. Ivankov, Crocodile, Jinbe, Buggy, Mr. 3 and the prisoners gather around Luffy as he declares to Ace, "We're here to save you!!!" Buggy laughs, "Gyahahahaha!!! Are you ready for me, world!!?" while another observer says, "So this is a battle of the great powers!! Certainly a force to be reckoned with!!!" Their arrival is absurd, loud and impossible to ignore, throwing a third force onto the battlefield just as the Marines are preparing their operation.
