Ace, awaiting his fate. Before Ace's eyes, protecting the platform, sits the Marines' greatest military force, the three admirals. The labels identify Marine HQ Admiral Kizaru, Borsalino; Marine HQ Admiral Akainu, Sakazuki; and Marine HQ Admiral Aokiji, Kuzan. The page places Ace behind them, the scaffold above the troops, and the admirals as the final wall between him and rescue. Page 8: Narration says all the forces of justice imaginable have gathered to prevent Ace's rescue and wait for the Whitebeard Pirates. On the Tri-Current, Luffy spots the Gates of Justice and yells, "Hey, Jimbei!! I can already see the Gates of Justice! That was fast!!" Jimbei answers that he would call it slow, because with the wind at their back they would already have arrived. The prisoners shout about how to pass the gates, while Buggy's followers cry, "Alright bastards, we're getting close!!! Close to what!? The time when Captain Buggy rules the world!!! That's right!!"
