Whitebeard and allies make a big entrance at Marine HQ.Summary:While everyone else is still reacting to the news that Ace is Roger's son, Garp thinks back to the time where Roger asked him to take care of Ace's mother and when he introduced the young Ace to the young Luffy. Back on the tower, Sengoku announces that Whitebeard took Ace in for the purpose of raising Ace into the new Pirate King, and so this execution has much more meaning than most people thought. At this moment, a subordinate reports that the Gates of Justice in front of Marine HQ has opened on its own and there's no communication to the power room. In front of the gates, Luffy and his group wonder why the gates have opened.Back at Marine HQ, a large group of pirate ships allied with Whitebeard suddenly appear in front of Marine forces. Soon after, four ships from the Whitebeard Pirates surface in the middle of the bay behind the Marine battleships. Whitebeard's ships have been coated with the resin and used to underwater route to sneak into the bay. After the ships surfaced, Whitebeard emerges on the deck of his flagship and tells Ace to wait a little longer.How is he Whitebeard!? He doesn't even have a beard!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Whitebeard has finally his appearance, and the fight for Ace's life is on. Not much really to talk about here since we don't really know much about Whitebeard's allies, so it's hard to even speculate on match-ups. The Marines did make a dumb mistake with their formation though, and it looks like they are surrounded by the pirates. On the other hand, some unknown forces have opened up the Gates of Justice to let Luffy's group in. The unknowns could be part of Whitebeard's group, or possibly it might be Dragon. On a somewhat related note, the scene of Buggy pretending that he opened the gates through some sort of miracle was pretty funny. Buggy might not have many real skills, but he sure knows how to posture at the right moment lol.
