The cover illustration shows Roronoa Zoro playing with Chopper in a crocodile-filled water area. Zoro is standing on one leg with his swords at his hip and laughing while holding Chopper up by the hat, as if teasing or training him, while crocodiles and small splashes surround them. There is no Marineford story dialogue beyond the chapter title. Page 1: The news spreads around the world in an instant: Roger's son, Ace, a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, was not saved, and the captain, Whitebeard, died. The narration says this historic incident could be passed on for generations, but the people witnessing it could only watch in silence. Around the world, crowds cry out and read the news as it arrives. At Marineford, Doflamingo grins and says, "So you're gone, Whitebeard." Page 2: The narration names Whitebeard fully: the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the great pirate Edward Newgate, aka Whitebeard. It says he was a man who sailed the seas with the Pirate King, age seventy-two at the time of his death. In the bay of Marineford, the Whitebeard Pirates and the combined forces of Marine HQ and the Shichibukai fought a great battle, and there he lost his life. The page shows his enormous body still standing in the devastated plaza while the battlefield remains split and smoking. Page 3: The commanders and pirates react to Whitebeard's death while still obeying his final order. They shout, "Don't just stand there!! Get on the ship!!!" and "Did you forget the captain's last order!?" Others call, "Jimbei!! Get Ace's brother!!" and answer, "Right!!" The fleet pulls away through the ruined bay. Near Whitebeard's body, Blackbeard laughs, "Haa... haa... hehehe!! Now, let's get started!!" while his crew gathers around the corpse and someone reacts, "!?" Page 4: Blackbeard begins a strange ritual around Whitebeard's body. His crew warns, "They're still planning something!!" and "That bastard Teach!!!" Others shout, "He's doing something to our dead boss!!!" A black cloth is thrown over Whitebeard and Blackbeard together, and Marines ask, "What's that black cloth? Blackbeard and Whitebeard are inside!!" Teach laughs, "Zehahaha... Now I'll give you the ultimate show." Catarina Devon says she is looking forward to this, while Shiryu warns, "If it fails, are we splitting up?" Page 5: Buggy's crew panics and flees, shouting, "Captain Buggy!! Where are you...!?" Buggy races away with his followers, yelling, "We're gettin' outta here, you idiots!!! We can't take Whitebeard's head anymore!!!" Some protest that he could have taken Whitebeard's head after Whitebeard showed him mercy, but others say Buggy is crying and remind everyone that yesterday's enemy is today's friend. The pirates rush toward the sea while the chaos around Marineford continues. Page 6: Jimbei carries the broken Luffy away, telling him, "Hang in there!!! You have to live!!! Ace is gone, but you must live... day after day!! And survive!!!" Nearby voices call "Haa... Luffy!!!" while Marines fire. Jimbei remembers Ace entrusting Luffy to him: "If I die like this... Jimbei... Could you... look after my little brother for me?" Ace had said he knew Jimbei should not think highly of him and that Jimbei only helps men he respects, but if Luffy lives in the pirate world, Ace wanted Jimbei to protect him. Page 7: Jimbei runs toward the ships with Luffy while allies call, "Jimbei, get on here!!!" but Aokiji freezes the sea around the fleet. Marines and pirates shout, "Damn!! He froze the sea!!!" The ships cannot depart, and voices cry, "Hurry, do something!!" and "We can't depart!!" Aokiji stands calmly in the ice and says, "Push Aokiji back!!!" is shouted from the ships as the escape route begins to close again. Page 8: Akainu returns from underground by melting through the ground, shocking the pirates. They cry, "Akainu!!! You weren't down!?" and explain that he melted through the ground and came around them. Akainu says, "I already said I wouldn't let him escape. Won't you idiots just give up already?" The ground erupts with magma and smoke, cutting off the escape path as Jimbei and the others realize Akainu is still pursuing Luffy despite Whitebeard's final attack. Page 9: Akainu demands, "Give me Dragon's son!!" Jimbei refuses: "I can't do that." Akainu says, "Well then... I won't ask again!!!" Jimbei answers with his decision: "I'll protect this man, even if it costs me my life." The two face each other amid smoke and lav...
