Luffy, Emporio Ivankov, Marco, Jozu, allied pirates, Monkey D. Dragon ### Summary Page 9: Akainu presses the advantage without hesitation. While Whitebeard is doubled over, Akainu's magma fist erupts forward and punches into Whitebeard's torso. The page focuses on the brutal impact: Akainu's stern face, Whitebeard's massive body bending around the blow, and Ace staring in horror from the platform. The battlefield briefly falls into stunned silence as the Marines' admiral lands a devastating hit on the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. Page 10: Ivankov refuses Luffy's request for another shot of tension hormones, calling it crazy and warning that Luffy's body cannot take it. Ivankov reminds him that he was almost killed by poison, that during the Impel Down fight he was already pushed to his limit, and that if he goes further he could seriously die. Luffy, panting and barely able to stand, insists, "If I die, that's fine...!! Let me fight, Iva...!!" He says he has to do all he can and that if he cannot save Ace, then he would want to die. Page 11: Luffy bites down and declares, "I'd want to die!!!" He demands, "Right now... give me the strength to fight!!!" Ivankov hesitates, knowing how dangerous it is, but finally says that if he lets Luffy die he will not be able to look Dragon in the eye. Ivankov agrees with a strained "Fine..." while Luffy lies battered and breathing "Haa... Haa..." The choice is grim: Luffy will burn through whatever remains of his body for one more chance to reach Ace.
