A raider tears down Whitebeard's flag and shouts, "That flag doesn't mean a damn thing now!!! He's dead!!! With Whitebeard gone, the world is ours for the taking!!!" Brownbeard and his crew announce, "Burn this image into your eyes!!! This island is now ours!!!" Brownbeard laughs, "I'm the great pirate Brownbeard!!!" The narration says the Marines have won, but that outcome does not necessarily bring peace; with the threat of Whitebeard's wrath gone, chaos has begun to reign. Page 8: At sea, Boa Hancock's ship meets Trafalgar Law's submarine after the escape. The Kuja Pirates ask, "How is Luffy doing!!?" Law's crew answers, "You did well to figure out we were surfacing here. We thought the Marines were here, so we freaked out for a moment." Law emerges from the submarine hatch, bandaged and exhausted, while Bepo calls, "Captain!!" Hancock says Salome followed them on the sea floor, then scolds Salome: "And don't change the subject, you dumb beast!!" Salome apologizes, looking ashamed under Hancock's glare.
