## One Piece Chapter 525, pages 2-3: The Sea Floor Prison Impel Down - Chapter: 525 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Portgas D. Ace, Monkey D. Garp, Whitebeard, Vice Admiral Momonga, Marine crew, Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Buggy Pirates ### Summary Page 2: Garp looks at Ace and says, "You look like you're about to die, kid..." In memory or echo, Whitebeard extends his hand and asks, "Why don't you take on my name and run wild...? Become my son!!!" Ace's face shifts from exhausted pain to fierce conviction. He tells Garp, "The only father I have... is Whitebeard...!!!" Garp falls silent. The page makes clear that Ace does not define himself by the bloodline Garp mentions, nor by the infamous criminal father whose name he rejects. His chosen bond is with Whitebeard, the man whose name he accepted and whose crew gave him the place he wanted. That emotional answer also explains why Whitebeard's coming war cannot be separated from Ace's identity. Page 3: At sea, a lookout calls to Vice Admiral Momonga that a pirate ship has been spotted at ten o'clock. The flag looks familiar, and one Marine says he feels like he has seen it before, while another offers to look it up. Momonga decides that if they do not know it, it cannot be anyone important, and orders them to leave it because they are on a tight schedule. The Marine ship carrying Luffy and Hancock is approaching the "Tri-Current," the Marine-use current that ties together the Government's three central points. A map shows Marineford, Impel Down, Enies Lobby, and the ship's current position. Momonga identifies the ship by Marine code G10066 and reports that they will soon enter the current, ordering preparations to open the gate.
