What's the matter!?" and Coby pants, "Haa... haa... I don't know...!!! It's sad...!!!" When asked "Sad!?" he thinks, "Inside my head... the voices... are disappearing, one by one...!!!" Around him, the fighting continues. A pirate or ally tells Luffy, "Hang in there! You'll live if you get treated!!" while another voice snaps, "Leave him!! We're in the middle of a battle!!!" The Marines press the attack with orders: "Go after the pirates!!! Crush every last one of them!!!" Hancock watches and realizes, "They still want to fight!!! The Marines have achieved their objective, but they're fighting even harder now!!!" Coby trembles over the words "Justice... Evil... what's the difference in here?!!" Page 6: Coby's horror deepens as the killing continues. He sees that the Marines have already won, yet they still thirst for more, while Akainu declares, "I won't forgive the evils of piracy!!!" On the other side of the battlefield, Blackbeard rages, "Nobody can stop me now!!! I'll destroy everything!!! Engulf everything!!!" Kizaru spots the escaping submarine and says, "Why don't you just drop Strawhat Luffy!?" while someone warns, "It's Kizaru!!" The page contrasts Coby's grief over vanishing lives with the admirals and Blackbeard still escalating the war beyond its original purpose.
