The cover illustration shows Brook in a forest scene standing with two elegant young tree-like women, one normal and one carved or woody, while leaves drift around them. Brook is turned away in his coat and top hat with his cane or sword visible at his side. There is no Marineford story dialogue beyond the chapter title. Page 1: The Marines identify the submarine and its captain. They shout, "It's Trafalgar Law!!! A rookie from North Blue!!!" and recall, "He escaped from Shabondy Archipelago after the Tenryuubito incident." Another Marine says, "He's an accomplice of Strawhat Luffy!!" while the submarine surfaces amid the ships. Law stands on deck and orders, "Bring both of them over here!!! Hurry!!!" A Marine officer demands, "Who the hell are you?" but Law ignores him and focuses on getting Luffy and Jimbei aboard. Page 2: The war expands in every direction. From Law's submarine, someone calls, "Captain Law!!" while the battlefield reports, "The battleships are coming back around from the sea!!" Marine orders ring out: "Calling all Marines!!! Split up to pursue the Whitebeard Pirates, and to take down the Blackbeard Pirates!!!" More Marines surge through an underground passageway, and voices cry, "More Marines are coming!!!" On the deck of the submarine, Law and his crew prepare to receive Luffy and Jimbei while the surrounding forces realize the escape has become even more dangerous. Page 3: Blackbeard throws Marineford into greater chaos with Whitebeard's power, laughing, "Zehahaha-hahaha-hahaha!!!" and boasting, "What an incredible power!!!" The sea heaves into a huge wave and people scream, "Gyaaaah, the waves!!!" and "Uwaa-aahh!!!" His own crew warns him, "Hey, Captain!! If you're too reckless, we won't have any place to stand!!" but Teach answers, "But I still can't control it well!!!" He taunts Sengoku: "How's that, Sengoku the Buddha? Garp, the hero!? Your age is over, just like Whitebeard's!!! Can you stop me!?" At Sabaody Archipelago, an emergency broadcast warns that a tsunami is approaching the south coast after an earthquake near Marineford. Page 4: On Sabaody Archipelago, the broadcast tries to prevent panic while crowds flee. Announcers say, "In order not to cause a panic... Wait, everyone!! Calm down!" and then order, "Evacuate to the north part of the archipelago, everyone!! Get to high grounds near groves 40 to 50!!!" Back at Marineford, Pacifistas move through the shattered plaza and fire at the pirates with "Pyuun!!" blasts. A report says, "The Pacifistas have crossed over the fissures in the plaza!!!" while the Whitebeard Pirates and allied crews are forced to keep fighting through the ruins. Page 5: Coby breaks down in the middle of the battle. Helmeppo calls, "Hey, Coby!! What's the matter!?" and Coby pants, "Haa... haa... I don't know...!!! It's sad...!!!" When asked "Sad!?" he thinks, "Inside my head... the voices... are disappearing, one by one...!!!" Around him, the fighting continues. A pirate or ally tells Luffy, "Hang in there! You'll live if you get treated!!" while another voice snaps, "Leave him!! We're in the middle of a battle!!!" The Marines press the attack with orders: "Go after the pirates!!! Crush every last one of them!!!" Hancock watches and realizes, "They still want to fight!!! The Marines have achieved their objective, but they're fighting even harder now!!!" Coby trembles over the words "Justice... Evil... what's the difference in here?!!" Page 6: Coby's horror deepens as the killing continues. He sees that the Marines have already won, yet they still thirst for more, while Akainu declares, "I won't forgive the evils of piracy!!!" On the other side of the battlefield, Blackbeard rages, "Nobody can stop me now!!! I'll destroy everything!!! Engulf everything!!!" Kizaru spots the escaping submarine and says, "Why don't you just drop Strawhat Luffy!?" while someone warns, "It's Kizaru!!" The page contrasts Coby's grief over vanishing lives with the admirals and Blackbeard still escalating the war beyond its original purpose. Page 7: Buggy hands Jimbei and Luffy off to Law's submarine, shouting, "All right!! Take him! Whoever you are!! Best of luck!!!" Law orders, "Grab him, Jean Bart!!" and his crew answers, "All right, good!" then "We're going to dive!!!" Kizaru targets the submarine and remarks, "You did well... escaping at Shabondy... Trafalgar Law!!" On deck, the Heart Pirates panic at Luffy's condition: "Uwaa!! He's got a terrible wound! Is he still alive!?...
