In the North Blue, a desperate drinker yells at "Boozie" and the old shopkeeper, asking if he is really supposed to work on a day like this and demanding booze because he cannot live without something to drink. In the West Blue, men insist Whitebeard is not just some old man and remember that only a year ago, when he glanced at them for a second, they gave up on their lives. On the Grand Line, children skip rope while singing, "Whitebeard the Pirate, scarier than a demon," and adults listen in fear, asking what will happen to the world. Page 3: Narration explains Marineford, the island where Marine Headquarters stands. A large city on the island houses the families of the Marines, but those residents have been evacuated. As the execution draws closer, evacuated residents and crowds watch monitors at Shabondy Archipelago, while reporters and cameramen from all over the world gather there, ready to send word at a moment's notice. When Ace appears on the broadcast, spectators shout, "Hey, look!! They're bringing Ace out!!"
