Ace, Marines ### Summary Page 1: Luffy and the Impel Down escapees are still trapped in a falling battleship inside the giant frozen wave. Someone screams, "What the heck just happened!!?" and another shouts, "What are we doing up here!!?" A prisoner explains, "I don't know!! We suddenly got picked up by some stupidly huge wave and then the ocean surface suddenly froze over and the ship got stuck in it!!" Jinbe tells them, "Take a look down there. You'll see the answer." They realize, "Old man!! It would seem the war is already underway!!!" Luffy refuses to stop, saying, "Listen up, guys!!! I have an idea, and it's gonna get us out of this!! We can't let this stop us when we've got this far! There are only three hours left until Ace's execution!!!" Page 2: Luffy's plan is to ride the ship down the frozen wave. The escapees yell, "Whaaat!!? Slide down this frozen wave, ship and all!?" and ask if he is out of his mind because this is a battleship and there is no way to move it. Luffy answers, "It's our only chance!!! First of all, we've gotta get the ship unstuck from this ice!! If we all work together, we can do it!!!" Buggy suddenly takes heart and says, "I...!! I suddenly have the feeling I can do this...!!" while his followers shout, "Yeah! We have Captain Buggy, the man who's going to rule the world, on our side!!!" At the same time, a Marine strategy transmission calls all ships and troops: "Objective TOTTZ! Change formation and prepare for General Strategy 3! Preparations are to be executed flawlessly! Once preparations are made, we will be executing Ace before the scheduled time!" Luffy hears only fragments and reacts, "Wha?"
