Luffy, Emporio Ivankov, Monkey D. Garp ### Summary 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. Page 8: Whitebeard tells his men that he must watch over his sons' futures and says, "I can't afford to die!!!! Right, Ace?" His crew gathers behind him, declaring, "We will protect our boss's pride!!!" Marines panic that the pirates are forming up behind Whitebeard. Meanwhile, the executioners again raise their blades over Ace, and Whitebeard challenges the Navy, "I'll show you the future right now if you want to see it that badly!" As the order "Do it!!!" is given, Ace braces for death while Whitebeard coughs and the battlefield screams his name. Page 9: Before the executioners can strike, a huge burst of will knocks them and nearby Marines unconscious. Luffy stands in the plaza and screams, "Stoooooop!!!" while Ace stares in shock. Ivankov asks if Luffy really just did that, and Luffy shouts, "I'm coming, Ace!!!" Garp recognizes the power and mutters, "That kid...!!!" Others realize, "That was the conqueror's...!!!" The blast stops Ace's execution at the last second and reveals that Luffy has Conqueror's Haki.
