A corner of Marineford.
This place had already become a private arena for Roy and Hawk Eyes's duel.

Sword light rose like a dragon, shooting straight into the sky.
Through Weakness Sonar,
Roy continuously thrust toward the weaker points in Hawk Eyes's defense.
"One Sword Style: Death Sound Divine Palace!"
