Dragon, Whitebeard Pirates, Marines, Aokiji, Portgas D. Ace ### Summary Page 5: The chase for Luffy continues away from the Blackbeard clash. Iva and Inazuma are struck down while allies cry, "Iva!!!" and "Inazuma!!!" Akainu presses forward through the battlefield and asks, "Jimbei... won't you give me Dragon's son?" The pirates around him rage, "Why, you...!!!" Jimbei carries the unconscious Luffy through smoke and broken ice, trying to reach the sea while Akainu closes in with lethal persistence. The page keeps Luffy's life as the center of the struggle even after Ace and Whitebeard's deaths. Page 6: Jimbei runs with Luffy, panting, "Haa... haa..." and thinking that if he can reach the sea he will have the advantage: "If we reach the sea, I'll have the advantage!!! We can escape!" But the path is blocked by ice with a hard "Kachin!!" Someone curses, "Damn!! The ice!!!" and another warns, "He's here!!" as Akainu catches up. Jimbei realizes the escape route is failing, and a small voice says, "Sorry, Jimbei..." while Luffy remains limp in his arms and the battlefield closes around them. Page 7: Akainu's magma fist punches through Jimbei from behind and reaches Luffy, throwing blood across the page. Onlookers scream, "Jimbei!!!" and "Damn!!" as Luffy cries, "Aaaahh!!!" Marines and pirates realize the horror of it: "...!! He pierced Jimbei and hit Ace's brother!!!" Someone asks, "Is he still alive!!?" Akainu demands, "You're still resisting, Jimbei!?" Jimbei, still conscious despite the wound, gasps to Luffy, "Uhh!! Luffy... haa... I'm sorry!!!" The attack leaves both protector and protected badly wounded.
