## One Piece Chapter 569, pages 5-7: Monster - Chapter: 569 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Aokiji, Jozu, Marco, Whitebeard Pirates, Marines, Whitebeard, Portgas D. Ace, allied pirates ### Summary Page 5: Aokiji freezes Jozu, and Marines shout, "Squad leader Joz is down too!!!" With Marco and Jozu both taken out, the Marines order, "Take out the rest of the squad leaders!!!" Aokiji faces the frozen Jozu and says, "Whitebeard Pirates, you're finished..." Around them the battlefield shakes with cannon fire and smoke. The commanders' brief distraction over Whitebeard's wound has become a chain reaction that leaves the pirate command structure exposed. Page 6: The Marines swarm Whitebeard while he is wounded. A Marine officer screams, "Don't slow down!!! Men, all of you go get Whitebeard!!!" Pirates rush to defend him, shouting "Boss!!" and "Stay back!!!" but Whitebeard refuses help. Ace watches silently as Whitebeard pants, "Haa... Haa..." and asks, "You all... think that this... is enough to kill me!? I don't need any help..." The Marines stab and shoot at him, but he remains standing in the middle of the plaza. Page 7: Whitebeard proves why the chapter calls him a monster. Even after being stabbed, shot, and burned, he remembers being called a monster and asks, "If I die... will my death have any meaning...?" He answers himself, "I know..." and then unleashes his power, sweeping Marines away with his bisento and quake force. As men fly around him in shock, Whitebeard roars, "I am Whitebeard!!!" The declaration turns his wounds into a rallying point rather than a sign of defeat.
