Oars's Path

A broadcast screen shows the Sabaody Archipelago with a dome-covered island as voices cry out: "SHOW US MARINEFORD!!" and "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PICTURE!!I" Cut to a crowded area where people react in shock. A man with a headband and sword shouts, "IS IT TRUE THAT THE MARINES AND WHITEBEARD ARE FIGHTING IT OUT!I" while another yells, "DID WHITEBEARD SELL OUT HIS COMRADES!I" Nearby figures note trouble restoring the Denden Mushi broadcast. A close-up of a stern man in a hat asks, "WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE WORLD!!I" and "IS THAT THE END OF THE WAR...I" as a cloaked figure with a massive weapon stands amid floating bubbles, with a voice declaring, "THIS IS CRAP... MARINES..."

Inside a room, a man with goggles labeled "APOO" argues with others: "YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS... THEY'RE NOT SHOWING IT BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON THEY DON'T WANT US TO SEE. NOT THE WORLD OR US PIRATES...!!!" Reactions include "EHI REALLY!I" and "THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A LIE." On the deck of a ship, figures discuss Whitebeard and the broadcast. A long-haired man holds a card-like object saying "LET'S GO..." while others shout "THAT'S RIDICULOUS!! HE'S A LIVING LEGEND BECAUSE HE DOESN'T DO CRAP LIKE THAT!!" and "WHITEBEARD SOLD OUT HIS COMRADES!I" Elsewhere, captains shout orders: "LET'S GO, JEAN BART!" "AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!" "SET SAIL, BEPO!!" and a large figure with a spiked weapon yells "CAPTAIN BONNEY...!!!" as Bonney snaps back, "SHUT UP!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

Explosive chaos erupts across a battlefield. Massive impact effects and debris fly as a Marine in a cap stares intensely. A large figure swings a massive weapon amid flying bodies and smoke while smaller panels show panicked reactions: "WAAA- AHH!!" and figures tumbling through blasts. A Marine ship tilts violently in the upper left as huge stylized sound effects dominate the page. Smoke, shockwaves, and falling figures fill the scene with frantic motion lines and impact bursts.

The massive ship that supported the Whitebeard Pirates for decades groans under the assault. Whitebeard stands grimly on the deck, coat billowing, as debris and smoke fill the air. Crew members shout in panic: "OUR SHIP...!!!" and "!!!! HAA... HAA... DAMN IT!!" The Moby Dick lists violently, its hull cracking apart amid massive splashes and impact lines. A close-up shows a crewmate's anguished face as he cries, "I'M SORRY..." Below, the broken vessel slams into the water with thunderous SFX ドドドドドド. Nearby, pirates desperately fire cannons at an enormous steel wall, one yelling, "CAN'T WE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS WALL!!I" while another grunts "GUAH!!" amid explosions and flying rubble.

The sea around the platform boils violently from the magma, steam rising in thick clouds. A pirate yells "HEY!! THAT'S..." as another reacts "HMI" while the water churns. Crew members scream "HOT HOT HOT!!!" and "GACHA..." as the intense heat overwhelms them. Massive black smoke erupts with the sound ぎゃあああああああ!!! The wall of the platform cracks and collapses under repeated impacts ドドドドドド, sending debris flying. From above, the view reveals the circular bay in chaos: "THE PATH TO THE PLATFORM IS BEING DESTROYED!!!" and "IT'S ALL GOING BACK INTO THE SEA!!" as the structure sinks amid roaring SFX ドドドドドド and frantic figures.

Explosions rock the battlefield with SFX ビキビキ!!! and ベッォォォ!!! A massive section of the steel wall buckles and shatters under tremendous force, sending fragments and Marines flying. One Marine in a cap stares in shock, "...!!" A giant shadowy figure smashes through the structure amid swirling dust and debris. Crew members and soldiers tumble through the air as the platform fractures further with sounds ズズゥゥ... ン!!! and distant screams "UWAAA-AHHH!!!" The destruction spreads rapidly across the battlefield.

Whitebeard glares fiercely, declaring "THAT'S NO ORDINARY STEEL!!!" as the wall withstands the assault. Allies shout "THE WALL WON'T BUDGE!!" and "EVEN THE BOSS COULDN'T BREAK IT!!" A massive impact sends bodies flying with "GYAA-AAHHH!!!" On the execution platform, Sengoku announces "EXECUTION!!" and "THE PLAN IS PROCEEDING ACCORDINGLY." Nearby, a Marine reports "WITH PORTGAS D. ACE'S... WE WILL NOW PROCEED." Executioners stand ready with rifles. Below, allies including a man in a top hat and a bear-like figure react with shock "....!!!" and "KISHISHI..." as the grim proceedings continue.

The chapter title "OARS'S PATH" appears at the top. Amid raging fires and crumbling stone walls, allied pirates charge forward while shouting, "OARS'S PATH IS THE ONLY WAY!!! BE CAREFUL!!! THE ENEMY MUST BE GUARDING IT!!!" and "IN SOME PLACE WHERE WE CAN'T EVEN SEE HIM!I" A massive roar "わあああああ" echoes as someone yells, "DID YOU HEAR THAT!!II DO YOU THINK WE'LL LET ACE DIE." In the next panels, Jimbei spots movement and cries, "THERE!!! HE WAS HERE A MOMENT AGO...!! JIMBEI BOY!! WHERE'S STRAWHAT BOY!I" Luffy reacts with shock, "!I HE COULDN'T BE!! STOP!! IF YOU GO THAT WAY..." Marines open fire with a loud "FIRE!!!" as an explosion erupts and a victim screams "UWAA-AAAHHH!!!" accompanied by the impact SFX "ヴグッッ". Onlookers gasp, "DID YOU SEE THAT!!II"

Luffy sweats heavily, muttering "IF I DON'T DO SOMETHING... HAA... IF I DON'T HURRY... THEY'RE... GONNA EXECUTE ACE!!!" while Jimbei warns, "THERE'S NO WAY THE ENEMY WOULD LEAVE THE ONE PLACE A HOLE IS OPEN UNGUARDED!!! IT'S OBVIOUSLY A TRAP!!! DON'T BE SO RECKLESS!!!" Luffy's eyes widen with sudden realization as he shouts, "I'VE GOT AN IDEA!!!" Jimbei and another ally debate the narrow opening: "BUT ONLY A FEW PEOPLE CAN GET THROUGH AT A TIME!! AND THEN THEY'LL FACE THE FULL FORCE OF THE MARINES!!! THAT'S RIGHT...!! AND THAT'S THE ONLY OPENING IN THE STEEL WALL!! WE HAVE TO USE IT SOMEHOW...!!" Below, the ground shakes with "ズシーン" as someone yells "HE'S STILL ALIVE!!! THAT LAST SHOCKWAVE WOKE HIM UP!!!" and a figure reacts "UWOOOH!! EHI"

A massive dust cloud erupts as Little Oars Jr. towers over the battlefield, his chained form looming while Whitebeard allies in cloaks labeled "正義" react with "....!!" and "LITTLE OARS JR.!!!" In smaller panels, a wounded figure gasps "ACE...!!" and distant voices cry "IT'S OARS!!!" and "OARS...!!! OARS IS STILL BREATHING!!!" Luffy stares in disbelief from the foreground, sweat flying, as the giant's labored breaths continue amid the chaos of Marineford's broken walls and scattered fighters.

Kizaru appears in a flash, his light powers streaking across the panel with SFX "リリリ!!" as he remarks, "OHHH... IT'S FINE, I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. FIRE!!! EVEN IF HE'S STANDING, HE'S BARELY ALIVE!!" Allies shout "KIZARU!!" and "A WATER SPOUT!!II WHAT'S THAT!I" while one warns, "AT TIMES LIKE THESE... YOU GOTTA TAKE OUT THE HEAD..." A colossal impact "ハァアアアアア!!" shakes the fortress, sending debris flying as characters react with "!!I" and "THAT'S..." One figure gasps "AH!" while another stares in horror. The massive blast tears through the battlefield near the execution platform.

Marines react with shock and tension on the ruined battlefield. One marine says, "YOU CERTAINLY ARE BOLD... DRAGON'S SON..." Another adds, "OH, YOU'VE MADE IT THIS FAR..." A third notes, "BUT IT'S A LITTLE TOO EARLY FOR YOU TO STAND ON THIS STAGE." They discuss Luffy's youthfulness being frightening. Luffy, battered and breathing heavily with "HAA... HAA...", glares forward with fierce determination. Close-ups show his intense expression and a marine exclaiming, "THAT'S TOO RECKLESS..." In the massive central panel, a tall man in a striped suit and long cape stands imposingly beside Luffy, who is crouched and shouting "STRAWHAT LUFFY!!!" as massive debris and destruction fill the background. Onlookers watch from the rubble while sound effects like "わああ" echo.

Luffy launches himself at a massive cannon-like structure, yelling "GIVE ACE BACK!!!" as he is struck with heavy impact. A marine with a netted headpiece reacts with "!" and "PAKS!!!". The cannon swings violently, sending Luffy flying backward with a loud "パキン!!!" and "PA!!". In the next sequence, Luffy stretches his arm and unleashes a rapid barrage, shouting "GOMU GOMU..." while declaring "STAMP GATLING"!!! The powerful strikes land with explosive force "グォッ!!!" as Luffy's rubber limbs pummel the target amid flying debris and smoke.

Explosions rock the battlefield as massive chunks of stone and debris fly everywhere with "レギャギャギャ!!!". Observers react in the smaller panels: "THAT RECKLESSNESS IS JUST LIKE HIS BROTHER'S...!!!", "THAT WAS ACE'S LITTLE BROTHER!!", and "THAT GUY WHO JUMPED OVER THE WALL...". Below, a horned warrior with a massive weapon roars "UWOO-OHHH!!!" while charging. Allies shout orders: "GET READY, MEN!!! WE'RE BREAKING THROUGH TO THE PLATFORM!!!", "RIGHT!!!", "JOZ, IT'S TIME FOR THE TRUMP CARD!!", and "OARS!! STAY THERE!!! WE NEED YOUR STRENGTH!!!". A wounded figure responds weakly, "BOSS..." as the assault intensifies.
