Akainu notices the attack and says, "Haki users, huh...?" but his magma body reforms after the cut. He grumbles, "Ku...!! Ahh, how irritating!!" Vista and Marco stare in disbelief and say, "Don't you realize it's already too late for Fire Fist?" and "How could this have happened!? That one moment of carelessness!!" Page 12: Luffy holds Ace upright while both kneel in the smoke. Pirates shout, "Ace!!!" and riders rush across the battlefield, but Ace says weakly, "Luffy... !! I'm sorry..." Luffy panics, "Ace!!! Hurry, we've got to get you help..." Ace keeps apologizing: "Sorry I couldn't let you save me... Haa... I'm sorry..." Blood covers Luffy's hands and Ace's back while the fighting around them briefly feels distant. Page 13: Luffy refuses to accept Ace's words, shouting, "What the hell are you talking about!?" and begging, "Somebody help him!!! Please save Ace!!!" Chopper and other doctors are told, "Doctor, hurry!! Please treat him!!!" Ace says it is too late: "I can tell that my life is coming to an end... He burned up my insides... zeeh... I'm done for... so..." Luffy screams back, "What are you talking about? Ace, are you gonna die? You promised!!! Haa..." Ace asks him to listen.
