Ace, Marines, Whitebeard Pirates, Royal Shichibukai, Boa Hancock ### Summary Page 3: The Marines reinforce the inner bay while Oars keeps advancing. Vice Admiral Lacroix appears among the Marine forces, and Whitebeard tells his men there is a difference between being heroic and being plain suicidal. Oars shouts that he wants to save Ace as soon as possible and believes he can take down at least one Shichibukai, while Whitebeard orders others to go back Oars up. Marines shout that the plaza defense must be strengthened and that the pirates must not be allowed into the plaza no matter what. Page 4: Boa Hancock enters the fighting near Oars. Marines ask how they are supposed to fight an enemy this big, while others say that if they get distracted by Oars, the pirates will take them down themselves. Hancock casually petrifies fighters with "Slave Arrow!!!" and a Marine asks if she is the Pirate Empress. She attacks both pirates and Marines, cracking bodies into stone, and explains that she agreed to join the fight against Whitebeard but does not recall agreeing to ally herself with the Marines. To Hancock, enemy or ally, all men are alike, aside from one man.
