Pirate Whirlpool Spider Squardo

From a high vantage point overlooking the bay, pirates stare in shock at a fleet of identical figures standing on the water. "WHY THE HECK ARE THERE SO MANY OF HIM!!I" one yells. "THE SHICHI-BUKAI BARTHOLOMEW KUMA!!!" another shouts. Below, a Marine with a square jaw demands, "WHAT'S GOING ON!I" In closer panels, a curly-haired man points and cries, "IS THAT ONE OVER THERE THE REAL THING...!I" while others exclaim, "MULTIPLE BARTHOLOMEW KUMAS...!!!!" and "THESE ARE THE SAME GUYS WHO WENT ON A RAMPAGE AT THE SHABONDY ARCHIPELAGO...!!!" A group of pirates discusses the situation: "AND HE'S BEEN OCCASIONALLY SENDING PROTOTYPES OUT TO DEAL WITH VARIOUS INCIDENTS...!!!!" "ABOUT HOW DR. VEGAPUNK IS IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A HUMAN WEAPON..." "I'VE HEARD RUMORS ABOUT THIS..." One pirate reacts with "HQI!! HQI!! HUGE BREAKING NEWS!!" while another notes, "BUT I'M SEEING WAY MORE THAN THERE WERE BACK THEN! HELL, THERE LOOKS TO BE ABOUT TWENTY...!!" A stern pirate with a weapon asks, "BUT WHY DO THEY ALL LOOK LIKE KUMA!I"

Boa Hancock glares angrily while clutching her hands, shouting, "UNCLE!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PLAN WE HAD LAID OUT!I" In the background, a massive seaquake rocks the bay as Whitebeard's forces clash with Marines. Pirates yell, "BUT THEY'RE ALL OVER THE DAMNED PLACE!!" "ONCE THE PIRATES WERE READY TO BE DRIVEN INTO THE BAY..." "I THOUGHT WE WERE ONLY MEANT TO APPEAR" and "AND THANKS TO THAT, THEY FAILED TO SURROUND US!!!" A long-bearded pirate with goggles explains, "HE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO!!" while another adds, "SO THAT'S WHY OLD MAN WHITEBEARD WAS TELLING US TO PRIORITIZE TAKING OUT THE SHIPS ON THE OUTSIDE..." A spotted-hatted pirate realizes, "SO THE MARINES WERE PLANNING ON DRIVING US INTO THE BAY AND SURROUNDING US COMPLETELY, HUH...I" In a large close-up, a Marine officer wearing a "MARINE" cap and glasses roars, "IF THEY ESCAPE FROM THE ENCIRCLEMENT, ELIMINATE THEM!!! EVEN IF WE ARE WEAKENED ON THE LEFT AND ON THE RIGHT, WE CAN STILL MOVE IN FROM THE FRONT AND FROM THE BACK TO CRUSH THEM!! TARGET THE PIRATE CREWS UNDER WHITEBEARD'S COMMAND AS PLANNED!!"

Explosions rip through the battlefield as Pacifistas fire beams. Pirates scream "AAAA-AGHHH-HHHH-HHHH!!!" while one shouts "HUHI" A massive impact erupts with the sound "ガシャン!!" A pirate yells, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING DOWN THAT EASY!!!" Boa Hancock questions, "UNCLE... IS IT ALL RIGHT IF WE END UP DAMAGING THE BATTLESHIPS TOOI" while an unseen voice replies, "WITHIN REASON..." In the chaos, a large figure with an "€" symbol on his back stands amid flying debris as a voice commands, "MOVE OUT, PACIFISTA!!!" The Marine officer's face fills a panel with intense eyes and the word "BEGIN!!!" as the battle erupts into full violence with shattering structures and shockwaves.

Explosions rock the bay as pirate ships are blasted apart in massive fireballs, debris and smoke filling the air with the sound ボゴゴォー...!!. A fishman commander with horns and scales roars orders from the front lines: "PUSH ONWARD INTO THE SQUARE!!!" and "PAY THE FORCES TO THE REAR NO MIND, MEN!!!" Nearby, a bandaged marine questions the tactic, "SO YOU ARE NOT ABOVE SACRIFICING YOUR OWN FORCES....!!" In the chaos below, Luffy charges through the melee with a massive swing, shouting "YEAHH-HHHH!!!" as allies and enemies clash violently around him amid flying impacts and motion lines.

A Marine officer with glasses bellows commands: "THE PIRATES MUST NOT BE PERMITTED TO REACH THE SQUARE!!!" and "ALL TROOPS MOVE AWAY FROM THE ICE AT ONCE!!!" In the next panels a scarred fighter yells "TO HELL WITH YOU!" while ordering "CHARGE THEM DOWN, PACIFISTA!!!" and "HURRY!!!" Pacifistas advance amid heavy gunfire and explosions. One soldier is hurled backward with a scream "AAA-GHHH!!!" as a large figure mutters "PSPS..." amid the destruction.

Screens show the execution platform as shocked spectators cry "WHAT'S GOING ON!!!I IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE EVEN HUMAN!" and "ARE THEY IMMORTAL!!I" while noting "THE VISUALS....!!!" and "AH!!" A commander declares the plan: "THEN WE CAN BOTH EXECUTE ACE AND ELIMINATE THE ENEMY IN ONE FELL SWOOP!!!" and "AS SOON AS ALL VISUALS HAVE BEEN CUT... MOBILIZE THE ENCIRCLING WALL!!!" Below, Luffy gasps for breath with "HAA" and "HAA" as an ally shouts "ACE IS IN DANGER!!! I'VE GOTTA HURRY!" Another replies "ROGER THAT!" with a determined glare.

Luffy is hurled through the air by a massive spinning impact, the force marked by large SFX. A Marine taunts "IT'S HIGH TIME YOU WENT BACK TO SQUARE ONE-" Someone screams "LUFFY-KUN!!!" and "!!!I" Jimbei appears, declaring "HE MAY BE POWERFUL, BUT WE MUST HURRY NONE-THELESS!!" while Luffy grits out "THE ADMIRAL CAME AFTER ME... DAMMIT....!!" Jimbei calls back "JIMBEI!!" as both fighters push forward through smoke and debris, breathing heavily with "HAA" and "... GUEMM... HAA...!!"

The Whitebeard Pirates' division commanders charge forward amid the chaos of Marineford. One snarls, "FEARSOME ALLIES INDEED..." Another exclaims, "AH... THE DIVISION COMMANDERS ARE HERE...!!!" A fierce fighter glares and shouts, "WELL!I BROTHER OF ACE!! ARE YOU FINISHED ALREADY!I" The allied pirates press the assault: "WE'RE GONNA BREAK THROUGH THEIR RANKS!!!" and "WITH THE MARINE INFANTRY RETREATING, THIS IS OUR CHANCE!!" They urge a swordsman forward, "YOU CAN'T LET YOURSELF GET HELD UP BY A SINGLE ADMIRAL!! COME WITH US!!!" Large impact SFX "ドン" and "ビシ" erupt as the clash intensifies. In a close panel a grinning figure with sunglasses remarks, "HOW SCARY~" while another reacts with "OHHHH~I DEAR ME~" The swordsman readies himself, "RIGHT... I'LL SHOW HIM...!!!!" breathing heavily, "HAA HAA".

A massive figure with a chainsaw arm roars, "I WILL LET NEITHER THE OLD MAN NOR ACE GO TO THEIR DEATHS!!!" while another declares, "I CARE LITTLE WHICH SIDE PREVAILS HERE, BUT SEEING THE DEATH OF WHITEBEARD WILL BE A TREAT INDEED!!!" Tenth Division Commander Curiel threatens, "TENTH DIVISION COMMANDER CURIEL!! IF YOU MEAN TO FIGHT ME, THEN I WILL SIMPLY CRUSH YOU... BUT YOUR DEATH IS ALREADY CERTAIN AS LONG AS YOU REMAIN IN THIS BAY! KISHISHISHISHI!!! ACE WILL DIE!! AND YOU WILL ALL BE TRAPPED LIKE RATS AND EXTERMINATED!!" Vista and another commander agree to postpone their duel. A massive explosion SFX "ギャギャギャン" rocks the battlefield. Luffy's allies react in the distance as someone calls out, "LUFFY...!!! YOU MUST HURRY AND SAVE YOUR BROTHER...!" Smoker is spotted with "SMOKER-SAN! THIS PLACE IS..."

Marines in the control room panic over the broadcast: "WHAT EXACTLY IS THE DELAY!I HURRY IT UP!!!" "WHAT ARE THOSE VOICES SAYING!I" "ONLY ONE OF THE SCREENS IS STILL WORKING!!" "HAVE ALL THE VISUALS BEEN CUT!!I" "NOT YET!! IT WILL ONLY BE A LITTLE LONGER!!" They spot a familiar figure on the remaining feed. "AH!! THAT FIGURE OVER THERE... COULD IT BE...!I" Speculation flies: "COULD IT BE... THAT PIRATE OF PIRATES, CAPTAIN BUGGY THE CLOWN!!I" "WHO ACTUALLY ONCE SAILED UPON THE SHIP OF PIRATE KING GOLD ROGER AS A MEMBER OF THAT LEGENDARY CREW!!I" "IS IT REALLY HIM!I THE MAN WHO WAS CONCEALING HIS TRUE IDENTITY UNTIL RECENTLY..." The screen shows Buggy himself, who grins widely and announces, "THAT'S ME! WELL, SURE..."

Buggy's face fills the giant screen as the crowd reacts. Voices shout, "WHOA, WHOA, CAPTAIN BUGGY!! YOUR NOSE IS BLEEDING!" "YOUR FACE!! WIPE YOUR FACE!! LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN... TAKE 2!!" "WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET THOUGH..." "I THOUGHT THE FACT THAT I'M A LEGENDARY PIRATE..." Marines debate, "COULD IT BE THAT MEMBER OF ROGER'S LEGENDARY CREW...!I THAT CLOSE COMRADE OF YONKOU RED-HAIRED SHANKS!!I" Orders ring out: "I AM TELLING YOU TO CUT ALL VISUALS RIGHT NOW!!" "WE CANNOT PROCEED TO THE NEXT STAGE OF THE OPERATION UNTIL YOU DO!!" Buggy laughs on screen, "WELL, SURE... THAT'S ME!" and the Marines yell, "PUT A STOP TO THEIR ANTICS THIS INSTANT!!!" Large SFX "ビィィィン" and "ぼん" punctuate the broadcast chaos.

Explosions rock the battlefield as a massive blast erupts near the execution platform. A striped-shirt pirate screams, "WHO, ME!I" while another voice demands, "WHY, DIDN'T YOU TAKE A BLOW FROM THE ONE AND ONLY HAWKEYE MIHAWK JUST MOMENTS AGO!I AND YOU'RE STILL STANDING!I JUST WHO ARE YOU!I" Buggy yells in panic, "AHHHHH!! SHIT!! RUN FOR IT! THEY FOUND US!!!" In the chaos, pirates shout, "BRING BACK THE BARTHOLOMEW KUMA ARMY--!! BRING ACE BACK!! IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO BE EXECUTED!! WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE OTHER VISUALS!I" Buggy appears on a screen, declaring, "BLOW THE LOT OF THEM TO SMITHEREENS!!! THE LEGENDARY!! THE NAME'S BUGGY..." A Marine asks, "WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE BATTLE!I" Below, a swordsman clashes violently, sending figures flying as someone roars, "FORGET THE ENEMY BEHIND!! PUSH ON FORWARD-!!!"

Squardo stands tall with his massive sword, sweat on his brow. A voice calls out, "SQUARDO!" He replies, "YEAH, SORRY ABOUT THAT, I TRIED TO CONTACT YOU EARLIER. SO YOU'RE SAFE..." Another figure shouts, "OLD MAN!" Squardo declares, "I WILL JOIN THE BATTLE MYSELF!! WE TOO MUST DO NOTHING BUT PUSH ONWARD WITH ALL OUR MIGHT!!!" He continues, "IF THEY DECIDE TO PUSH US FROM BEHIND, THEN SO MUCH THE BETTER. THEY WILL ATTACK US FROM BEHIND, THEN WITH ALL THE FORCES THEY HAVE...!!! OUR ALLIED CREWS IN THE REAR RANKS ARE TAKING A REAL BEATING...!!!" An ally asks, "HMI WHAT'S SQUARDO DOING UP--" Squardo finishes, "FOR THE SAKE OF THE WHITEBEARD PIRATES, WE WOULD GLADLY LAY DOWN OUR LIVES!! EVERY LAST ONE OF US OWES YOU AN ENORMOUS DEBT. TRUE ENOUGH."

Squardo's intense close-up shows sweat and a fierce glare. In a dramatic full-page spread, he swings his massive sword with tremendous force, the impact sending shockwaves as a figure is hurled through the air. Smaller panels capture shocked reactions from allies and enemies alike. The page ends with the note "57 VOLUME 57 (END)".
