## One Piece Chapter 567, pages 3-6: Marineford Marine HQ, Orisu Plaza - Chapter: 567 - Pages: 3-6 - Characters: Whitebeard, Aokiji, Jozu, Whitebeard Pirates, allied pirates, Marines, Monkey D. Luffy, Jimbei, Portgas D. Ace ### Summary Page 3: Whitebeard drives his blade straight through Aokiji, prompting pirates to shout, "He stabbed him with Haki!? Is Aokiji dead!?" Another pirate snaps, "No!! Don't be stupid!" Aokiji's body breaks apart as ice instead of flesh, and he reforms around the strike. He counters with "Ice Block: Partisan!!!" launching ice spears at Whitebeard. Before they can land, Jozu barrels into the exchange, and Aokiji only has time to mutter, "Hmm?" Page 4: Jozu smashes into Aokiji and sends him crashing away, clearing space for Whitebeard's advance. The pirates cheer, "Go on, boss!!" and Whitebeard answers, "Yeah." Jozu's body glitters as he invokes "Diamond" and prepares to keep the admiral occupied. Aokiji looks toward him in silence, while Jozu says, "Joz..." and the battlefield erupts with impact sounds and flying ice as Whitebeard's commanders take over the fights in front of their captain. Page 5: The fight shifts into a chaotic push through Marineford. Jimbei and the allied pirates cut and punch through Marines while Luffy, bruised and exhausted, keeps forcing himself forward. The plaza shakes with shouts and heavy SFX as enemies are knocked aside. Luffy pants, "Zeeh... Zeeh..." and murmurs, "Ace..." while his body strains under the effort. Even as he is battered, he fixes his eyes on the execution platform and starts another desperate dash. Page 6: Luffy coughs blood with "Gubu-bo!!!" but keeps moving. He pulls in air with repeated "Hyu!!" sounds and twists through the smoke as enemies close in. Marines attack from every side, and one impact sends him crying, "Hwah!!" Still, he braces himself and begins, "G-Gear..." The steam builds around him with "Gira" as he finishes, "Second." Luffy's body pulses into Gear Second again, forcing more speed from a body that is already near its limit.
