The Straw Hat Pirates are drawn in a bright summer ice-cream scene rather than in the Marineford battle. Nami and Robin sit in swimsuits holding ice cream cones, while Luffy, Franky, Chopper, Sanji, Usopp, Zoro and Brook crowd around with giant stacked scoops, shaved ice and snacks. The image is a playful chapter-opening illustration with the One Piece logo and title text, contrasting the cheerful crew scene with the war that resumes on the next page. Page 1: The chapter returns to Marineford with Whitebeard's tsunami towering over the bay. Marines scream, "It's a tsunami!!!" and panic as the walls of water rise on both sides of the fortress. Doflamingo laughs that this is truly the monster of legend, while another Marine gasps, "What incredible power...!!" Whitebeard stands below, laughing "Gurararararara!!!" with absolute confidence. The page emphasizes the scale of the opening attack: Whitebeard's quake power threatens to swallow the Marines, the Royal Shichibukai, and the entire battlefield before the armies even clash directly. Page 2: Aokiji answers the tsunami. Sengoku or another Marine calls, "Aokiji...!!" and Aokiji mutters, "You little tyke...!!!" before launching "Ice Age!!!" He freezes the monstrous waves in place, turning the bay and the water around Whitebeard's ships into an enormous sheet of ice. The frozen sea traps the incoming disaster but also leaves the pirate ships and Marineford surrounded by a new battlefield. Whitebeard watches with a grin, while the huge ice walls and cracking sounds show that an admiral has stopped the disaster with his own overwhelming power.
