The battle rages on at Marine HQ (again).Look who decided to drop in?Summary:Oars Jr. dies from the Shichibukai's attacks, and Whitebeard responds by taking out a giant vice-admiral. 13th Division Commander Atmos confronts Doflammingo but Doflammingo takes control of Atmos' body and makes Atmos attack his comrades. Among the chaos, Coby and Helmeppo (remember these guys?) try to run away from the battle, but they spot Admiral Akainu stopping another Marine from abandoning his post. Whitebeard and allies have broken through the bay at two points, but Sengoku has a plan which includes executing Ace regardless of what happens. On the execution platform, Garp sits with Ace and Sengoku and wonders what he should do. Suddenly, a ship appears overhead and falling with the ship are Luffy and the other escapees from Impel Down.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Our hero finally shows up to the party and makes quite an entrance too! I wonder how Luffy and company managed to make battleship fly, but I'm sure it'll be revealed in the next few chapters. Now that Luffy and company are joining the battle, a couple of things are probably going to happen. Crocodile will probably join the bad guys and go after Whitebeard, and this may cause Ivankov to reveal Crocodile's secret. As for Luffy, my prediction is that he won't give much of damn about the battle at first and just try to rescue Ace, but the admirals and some of the Shichibukai will try to stop him. Hancock will definitely help Luffy, and Kuma might try something funny as well. Actually, it's probably pointless to make predictions. There are just so many powerful characters packed into the same place now that anything can happen.Minor complaint: it's weird how page 6 suddenly transitioned from Whitebeard to some island farm where livestock are running away (because of Whitebeard's earthquakes). I didn't know what was going on at first and took a few seconds to make the connection. I guess I must be slow.
