Chapter 571: "THE EXECUTION PLATFORM". Nami sits calmly in a large ornate chair on a rocky, cloud-filled landscape, legs crossed and reading a book titled "MONEY". Behind her towers a massive crab-like structure with enormous claws, eyes on stalks, and bottles labeled "SHAMPOO TREATMENT" attached to its body. The scene is framed by dramatic clouds, a round mirror on the left, and distant trees.

Explosions rock the battlefield as a massive bridge collapses in the background. A voice cries out, "IT'S GARP THE HERO!!!" while another shouts "DO SOMETHING FAST, STRAWHAT BOY!!" and "THE BRIDGE IS FALLING!!" Garp charges forward in his Marine coat, declaring "Luffy, I'VE BEEN FIGHTING PIRATES SINCE LONG BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN BORN!!!" Luffy runs desperately toward him amid falling debris and smoke.

Garp looms over Luffy with a fierce glare, yelling "YOU'LL ONLY GET THROUGH HERE OVER MY DEAD BODY!!! STRAWHAT LUFFY!!!" Luffy stares back in shock. Garp continues, "YOU TWO HAVE CHOSEN!!! THAT IS THE PATH" as Luffy shouts "GRAMPS!" Nearby, a Marine with a headband and glasses glares while other fighters clash in the background. Voices yell "THE PIRATES WILL KILL YOU IN NO TIME!!!", "IF YOU'RE LIKE THAT, YOU'RE GONNA BECOME THE STRONGEST MARINE THERE IS.", and "DON'T BE SOFT!!!"

Garp's face fills the panel as he growls, "IF YOU CAN'T, THEN ACE WILL DIE!!!" Luffy screams desperately, "I CAN'T DO THAT, GRANDPA!!! PLEASE MOVE!!!" Garp retorts, "I'VE DONE PLENTY OF THINGS YOU DON'T LIKE!!! I WON'T HOLD BACK!!!" A massive impact erupts with the sound effect "ギュオオオオオ!!!" as Garp declares "YOU'RE MY ENEMY!!!" while another voice calls "LUFFY!" Marines and fighters react in the background with "正義" symbols visible.

Whitebeard's face twists in fury, veins bulging as he roars with gritted teeth. A small figure is hurled violently through the air amid swirling smoke and debris, accompanied by the heavy impact sound "ドドドドド!!!". In the massive central panel, Whitebeard lunges forward with his massive arm extended, cloak billowing, as he grabs or strikes at a tiny figure wearing a straw hat amid clouds of dust and shattered stone. Below, a row of shocked close-ups shows Ace's bandaged face turning in alarm, followed by Luffy's eyes widening in horror, his mouth agape as he gasps, then another extreme close-up of Luffy's sweat-drenched, terrified expression.

Whitebeard is struck by a massive unseen force, his body twisting violently as black impact blocks explode across the panel with the sound "ゴゴゴゴ". He cries out in agony, "UWAA-AAAAA-AHH!!!". Nearby, a Marine shouts "!!!" while another yells "I WANT TO LIVE!! RIGHT NOW," and a voice calls out "GARP!!". Garp's stern face appears in close-up, sweat flying. The chaotic scene shows Whitebeard's massive form being driven back amid smoke and debris as smaller panels capture the reactions of Luffy and surrounding fighters.

A powerful swordsman clashes blades with a cloaked figure in mid-air, the impact creating a web of cracks and the cry "BOSS!!!". Below, Luffy stares upward in shock, eyes wide and mouth open. The scene shifts to the crumbling execution platform as several figures tumble through the air amid smoke and debris.

Luffy strains desperately against the chains, shouting "I'VE GOT THE KEY, JUST WAIT!!! HAA....!!!" as he clutches the small key in his teeth. Nearby, a close-up shows a determined face thinking, "THE KEY TO YOUR BROTHER'S HANDCUFFS...!!! THIS IS..." while the sun glares behind. Below, shocked Marines react: "LOOK!! FLEET ADMIRAL SENGOKU'S ABILITY!!" and "I'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE..." as Luffy gasps "HAA... HAA!!" and someone yells "LUFFY, YOU!!!" In the massive lower panel, Sengoku transforms into a towering golden Buddha-like form, roaring "DON'T THINK I'LL LET YOU ESCAPE!!!" while Luffy cries "WAIT!!!" and another voice shouts "...!!!I SENGOKU!I" Debris and impact lines fill the chaotic scene on the execution platform.

Luffy snatches the key from the ground amid flying debris and shouts of "!!I" Marines swarm forward yelling "GET THEM!" and "AAHH!!! THE KEY!!!" while Luffy desperately reaches out, screaming "NO, THE KEY!!!" Sengoku's massive fist swings down as he declares "I'LL EXECUTE YOU MYSELF!!!" Luffy's eyes widen in shock "EH!!I" and he mutters "...!! UHHH... WHAT HAPPENEDI I JUST BLACKED OUT FOR A SECOND!!!" as he activates his power with "GOMU GOMU..." A Marine cries "GYAAAAH!! WHAT'S THAT!!!I GYAAA-AAH!!!" while another orders "HEY 3, PROTECT ACE WITH A WALL!!!" and Luffy yells "3!!! WHY ARE YOU HERE!!!I"

Sengoku inflates enormously with the technique labeled "GIGANT BALLOON"!!! as the impact "ドゴォン!!!" shakes the platform. Small panels show the "CANDLE WALL" crumbling, Marines shouting "HE GREW GIGANTIC...!!I" and "THE PLATFORM IS CRUMBLING!!!" while others react "BU" and "BUMEEEH!!!" Below, panicked figures yell "WHAT HAPPENED" and "ACE ISN'T DEAD YET!!!" as the giant Sengoku looms over the collapsing execution stand with massive motion lines and debris flying everywhere.

The execution platform erupts in a massive explosion "ドギャァァン!!!" with debris and smoke everywhere. Sengoku is blasted backward while Buggy shouts "GO SAVE YOUR BROTHER!!" and "OF COURSE NOT!!!" as another voice yells "SAVE YOUR BROTHER, STRAWHAT!!!" and "IF I TOLD YOU THE REASON I'M HERE IS TO FULFILL MY LOST COMRADE'S FINAL WISH, WOULD YOU LAUGH AT ME!I" Luffy plummets through the air with chains trailing, Marines panicking "HE'S FALLING!!!" and "CAPTAIN BUGGY!! THAT'S 3-BRO!!!" Buggy's crew cheers "GOT IT!!!" and "I'M MAKING A KEY!! WE'LL GET THOSE HANDCUFFS OFF IN A SECOND!!" as cannons fire and the structure collapses completely.

HE WON'T SURVIVE!!" Another voice cries "A TUNNEL OF FIRE.....!! INSIDE THAT INFERNO!!" Luffy yells "LUFFY!!!" while Ace glares and retorts "YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY, YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME," followed by Luffy's strained breathing "HAA... HAA...!!!" Below, Luffy screams "ACE!!!" with wide, desperate eyes. A small panel shows Ace plummeting toward the execution platform as the crowd panics.
