Over there!" as Coby realizes, "Strawhat~!!? Even though I heard he had been captured at Impel Down...!! He really is... just incredible!!!" Kuma, Kizaru and Aokiji all react to the new alliance. Kizaru smiles, "To think that we'd see each other again so soon~!" Kuma notes, "That's certainly some group you've got there..." Doflamingo laughs, "Current and former Shichibukai all gathered here...!! Fuffuffu... And then... him... The outrageous rookie everyone's been talking about... Strawhat...!!!" Marco guesses, "That must be the brother Ace was talking about!" while Smoker and Tashigi see both Straw Hat and Crocodile and wonder what kind of alliance this is. Meanwhile a Marine reminds everyone, "This is no time to be distracted!!!" Page 10: Akainu identifies Luffy and says, "So that is him... Grandson of Garp the hero... and son of Dragon... That is one pirate who most certainly needs to be eliminated..." The fallen ship rests in the open water before the battlefield. Sengoku sees Jinbe and shouts, "So this is your answer, is it, Jinbe...?" Jinbe answers firmly, "Indeed! I resign as a Shichibukai!!!" His words make clear that his loyalty now stands against the World Government, beside Luffy and the effort to save Ace. Page 11: Whitebeard examines the group and says, "That's a screwed-up team if I ever saw one... It barely seems possible that they all share a common objective... particularly on this battlefield..." Ivankov asks, "Where is Croco-boy?" just as Crocodile lunges toward Whitebeard. Someone yells, "Crocodile is after Whitebeard!!!" and Ivankov notices, "Over there!!! Why, that little... trying to steal my glory...!!!" Crocodile calls out, "It's been a while, Whitebeard!" but Luffy intercepts him and shouts, "Old man!!!" stopping Crocodile's immediate attack before it can reach Whitebeard.
