Summary:
As Whitebeard rushes into battle, his entire crew and allies follow and clear the way for him. One of the Decalvan Brothers comments on how difficult it must be for Squard to be tricked into being responsible for stabbing Whitebeard, causing Whitebeard’s allies to shout that he will never forgive the Marines. As Squard wallows in grief over his own sins, Marco asks him if just crying will help make things right and that he should go pay off his debt.
Luffy, pondering how strong Whitebeard must be, continues to run headlong towards the execution platform. Ivankov notes that all the marines are retreating to the square. While Jinbe agrees that it’s worrying, he says that there’s no time to think because Whitebeard is on the move.
John Giant then appears on the front line, ready to stop Whitebeard and his crew as his and Whitebeard’s weapons. Whitebeard then surprises the giant by causing an earthquake so massive that the entire island tilts to one side. As the marines panic, Doflamingo laughs at how crazy Whitebeard is, while Hancock continues to only care about Luffy’s safety. Whitebeard then hits John Giant’s chest and defeats him.
As onlookers wonder why the tremors aren’t affecting the execution platform, they see the three admirals somehow holding it together as the three joke that they have each other to blame for the wall not being built yet. When the pirates finally reach the city, dozens of walls shoot up from the ground, blocking their path. Even when the pirates try to attack it, the wall doesn’t budge. Cannons emerge from the walls and prepare to fire. One wall in the front, however, remains open; Oar’s body blocks the path of the wall and his blood enters the system. Although the situation is not ideal, Sengoku orders Akainu to attack anyway; Akainu then uses Ryūsei Kazan, causing a storm of flaming fists to rain down on the pirates.
