Ace, Marines, Whitebeard Pirates, allied pirates, young Luffy, young Ace, Sengoku, Kizaru, Mr. 3, Whitebeard ### Summary Page 0: Chapter title page: Chapter 571, "The Execution Platform." The cover illustration shows Nami sitting calmly in a chair and reading a magazine labeled "Money" while a giant crab-like creature behind her handles bath or grooming items, including bottles marked "shampoo" and "treatment." The scene is a relaxed cover image separate from the Marineford battle, with no story dialogue beyond the chapter title. Page 1: Luffy's ramp toward the execution platform collapses while Marines and pirates look on. Someone shouts, "It's Garp the hero!!!" and another warns, "The bridge is falling!!" Ivankov yells, "Do something fast, Strawhat boy!!" Garp stands in Luffy's path and says, "Luffy, I've been fighting pirates since long before you were even born!!!" The confrontation becomes unavoidable: Luffy is still racing to Ace, and his grandfather is now the wall directly in front of him. Page 2: Garp tells Luffy, "You'll only get through here over my dead body!!! Strawhat Luffy!!!" Luffy calls him "Gramps!" and the words trigger memories of Garp training him and Ace as children. Garp had told Luffy not to be soft, that he would become the strongest Marine there is, and that the pirates would kill him in no time if he was weak. In the present, Ace watches from the platform as Garp says that this is the path the two brothers have chosen. Page 3: Luffy begs, "I can't do that, Grandpa!!! Please move!!!" but Garp answers, "If you can't, then Ace will die!!!" Luffy screams "No!!!" and says, "I've done plenty of things you don't like!!! I won't hold back!!!" Garp hardens himself and declares, "You're my enemy!!!" Sengoku, Ace, and the pirates watch in shock as grandfather and grandson rush toward a direct clash on the collapsing path to the platform. Page 4: Luffy powers forward in Gear Second while Garp prepares to punch him down. Garp's face is fierce, but the page flashes through memories of Luffy and Ace as children: Luffy crying, eating, and growing up under Garp's harsh care. The memories make the coming blow more painful for everyone watching. Luffy charges with all his remaining strength, and Garp's raised fist hangs between duty as a Marine and love for his grandson. Page 5: Luffy lands the decisive punch. Garp, remembering Luffy's plea to live and save Ace, lets the clash resolve against him and is struck down with a huge impact. Sengoku yells, "Garp!!" as the Marine hero falls from the platform path. Luffy screams through the strike, and the Marines and pirates stare in disbelief. The fight between family and duty ends with Garp on the ground and Luffy continuing toward Ace. Page 6: Garp crashes down into the rubble, and Marines cry, "Vice Admiral Garp!!?" Sengoku, shaken and angry, says, "You're a father yourself, Garp...!" Luffy continues launching upward along the broken path, leaving his grandfather behind. The battlefield below reacts to the impossible sight: the legendary Marine hero has fallen, and Ace's brother is still climbing toward the execution platform. Page 7: Kizaru shoots at the key to Ace's handcuffs just as Luffy reaches the platform. The key snaps away with a sharp impact, and Ace stares in alarm. Luffy and Ace tumble onto the platform while the broken key falls below. The sudden loss of the key seems to ruin the rescue at the last moment: Ace is still chained, the platform is collapsing, and the Marines remain ready to execute him. Page 8: Ace remembers the key to his handcuffs and realizes what it was, while Luffy pants, "I've got the key, just wait!!" Ace snaps, "Luffy, you!!" Sengoku transforms with his giant Buddha-like ability, and a Marine shouts, "Look!! Fleet Admiral Sengoku's ability!!! I've never seen it before..." Sengoku towers over the platform and says, "Don't think I'll let you escape!!!" The rescue has reached Ace, but the fleet admiral himself now blocks the brothers' escape. Page 9: The broken key falls away and Marines shout, "Aaah!!! The key!!!" and "Get them!!" Sengoku declares, "I'll execute you myself!!!" Luffy suddenly notices Mr. 3 beside them; Mr. 3 says he blacked out for a second, and Luffy blurts, "3!!! Why are you here!?" Mr. 3 answers that he is making a key and that they will get the handcuffs off in a second. As Marines fire and order the whole platform destroyed, Luffy begins forming "Gomu Gomu..." to protect them. Page 10: Mr. 3 builds a wax "Candle Wall!!!" around Ace and Luffy while Luffy inflates into "Giant Balloon!!!" to absorb Sengoku's attack. The impact shakes the execution platform. Marines shout, "He grew gigantic!!?" and "The platform is crumbling!!!" while others realize, "Ace isn't dead yet!!!" The combined defense of Luffy's rubber body and Mr. 3's wax keeps Ace ali...
