When Ace appears on the broadcast, spectators shout, "Hey, look!! They're bringing Ace out!!" Page 4: At Marineford, narration says the patrol ships sent out by the Marines have all been sunk. Whitebeard has still not been sighted, and the tension at Marineford is running high. The execution slowly draws closer with only three hours remaining.
