Summary:
Whitebeard’s death is heard around the world and people are glad that the great pirate has succumbed. Others turn to the path of piracy, ambitious to find the One Piece after Whitebeard confirms its existence. Whitebeard’s territorial islands are attacked, for example by the arrogant Brownbeard who cuts down the flag.
Back at Marineford, the Supernova Eleven (minus Luffy, Law, and Zoro) make their way through the rough ocean. Urouge and Apoo seem afraid of the new age, and Bonney is angry at an unspecified “him”. Basil Hawkins tries to figure out why Luffy’s chances of survival are never 0%. Then the Kid is on his ship promising the New World and the remaining four Emperors: Redhead Shanks, Kaidou, and Big Mom. Afterwards, back on the outer seas, Law’s submarine has surfaced and is being followed by a naval battleship. Bepo discovers that Boa Hancock was chasing the pirates and was only worried about Luffy. Meanwhile, Law comes out of the doctor’s office, wiping blood from his hands. He says he did all he could and Luffy is incredibly damaged and on the verge of death. Suddenly, the battleship is flooded with people from New Kama and Emporio Ivankov. Ivankov and Law talk about Law’s relationship with Luffy. Meanwhile, the Heart Pirates see Bepo’s weak will against the Pirate Empress. Back at the ruins of Marineford, Sengoku is briefed on the situation at Impel Down.
Sengoku is told how Blackbeard worked, he told the level 6 prisoners to kill each other and the winners would join the Blackbeard Pirates. He also suspects that more level 6 prisoners may have escaped when he was told that they were missing prisoners. Sengoku tells Brannew that they should distribute the wanted posters immediately. Brannew then tells Sengoku about the government order to keep the incident a secret and Sengoku becomes enraged. Then an explosion fills the back streets of Marineford. Doflamingo was ordered to get rid of Moria. Moria coughs up blood after being attacked by a Pacifist under Doflamingo’s command. Moria asks Doflamingo if that was Sengoku’s order, to which Doflamingo replies “Try higher!”.
