The cover illustration shows Nami at an outdoor crash-test or training attraction, holding a huge mallet beside several small animal workers wearing helmets. A sign in the background reads "MOGURA," and Nami's shirt says "CRASH." Luffy appears near the bottom, partly buried or thrown by the impact. There is no Marineford dialogue on this cover page beyond the chapter title. Page 6: The chapter resumes from the moment Akainu's magma fist pierces Ace while Ace shields Luffy. Luffy sits frozen in front of him, barely able to react: "...!!?" Flames and smoke pour from Ace's body as Akainu stands behind him. Around the battlefield, Whitebeard's allies and Marines stare in horror and shout, "They got Ace!!!" The page is dominated by shock, with no one yet able to move fast enough to undo what has happened. Page 7: The news spreads instantly through the battle and through Buggy's restored broadcast. Pirates scream, "Stop Akainu!!!" while Marines point rifles and the video screens show Ace being struck. Viewers shout, "Do-goon!!" and "Fire!!!" as the Den Den Mushi broadcast catches the disaster. Whitebeard, Marco, and the other commanders look horrified, and the battlefield erupts into panic while Akainu remains beside Ace and Luffy.
