• Rosen welcomed Whitebeard’s mobilization and declared that it was time to settle things with him.

Rosen convened the Marines’ top officers and announced a campaign to end the Whitebeard Pirates, declaring that the age of pirates claiming territory was over. He rejected a mass deployment and argued that Battle Suits and Artificial Devil Fruits had made technology, rather than troop numbers, the key to future warfare.

• Rosen summoned the Marines’ highest-ranking combat forces to Headquarters, where Tensei reported that Whitebeard’s forty-three allied pirate crews had gathered and that the Whitebeard Pirates were ready to be targeted.
• Sengoku asked about Bakingom, and Tensei confirmed that Whitebeard had taken her under his protection, preventing Sengoku from using her to lure the pirates into a trap at Marine Headquarters.

• Rosen rejected Sengoku’s proposal to draw troops from Marine branches and ordered the Navy Science Unit to be deployed while other Marines remained at their posts.
• Rosen explained that mass-produced Battle Suits and Artificial Devil Fruits could let small forces overcome far larger armies, prompting the Marine leaders to reconsider their traditional tactics.

Rosen chose to test the Navy Science Unit against the Whitebeard Pirates and assigned the Navy’s senior fighters to protect its essential bases or join the campaign. He left Sengoku and Garp guarding Marine Headquarters and Judge’s Forbidden Zone, then led Borsalino, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Bullet into battle.

• Rosen and the Navy’s leaders agreed to use the coming battle against Whitebeard to judge whether the Navy should prioritize technological warfare or traditional forces.
• Tianzheng warned that Whitebeard had contacted Big Mom, raising the possibility that their crews would join forces, but Rosen remained confident the Navy could defeat them.

On Fudovitian Island, Edward Newgate faced a crisis as Scopper Gaban repeatedly looted the civilians his crew was meant to protect.

• After Rosen ended the meeting, the Marines prepared the Navy Science Unit while Garp went to guard the Marine Science Division, Sengoku deployed forces, and Tenjiku Kurokoma monitored the major powers.

Marco explained that Whitebeard had secretly paid for the affiliated pirate crews’ plundering and exhausted the crew’s savings, while Jinbe arranged supplies from Fish-Man Island to relieve the crisis on Fudovitian Island. As the supplies were still a week away, Whitebeard sensed Rosen approaching and prepared for his arrival.

• Marco told Jozu and Vista that Whitebeard had been covering the affiliated crews’ plundering and spending his own savings to feed them.
• Jozu apologized to Whitebeard, and Vista warned that nearly fifty thousand affiliated pirates could not be supplied by Fudovitian Island alone.
• Marco rejected proposals to relocate the crews or send them to plunder elsewhere, explaining that Rosen could reach any sea instantly and their territory lacked a rich country to sustain them.
• Marco revealed that Fish-Man Island had agreed to send supplies, which would reach Fudovitian Island in a week, and Jinbe affirmed his support for Whitebeard.
• Whitebeard sensed a disturbance in the sky near Fudovitian Island and declared that Rosen had finally arrived.

Edward Newgate summoned the Whitebeard Pirates to Fudovitian Island as Rosen and a thousand Marines arrived through Black Holes. The chapter ended with Newgate stepping to the Moby Dick’s bow to face the advancing Marines and steady his crew.

• Edward Newgate shattered the sky with a punch, summoning the pirates across Fudovitian Island to the harbor.

• Rosen halted his forces about one kilometer from the pirates, whose commanders felt crushed by the Marines’ presence.
• Edward Newgate laughed to dispel the crew’s fear, then stepped to the Moby Dick’s bow to confront Rosen.

Rosen confronted Whitebeard on Fudovitian Island and demanded that he surrender the forty-three allied crews in exchange for sparing the Whitebeard Pirates. Whitebeard refused, but Rosen overwhelmed him in a clash of Conqueror’s Haki, prompting Vista to attack as Marco prepared to intervene.

• Whitebeard’s laughter restored the fighting spirit of his crew and the forty-three allied pirate crews as he faced Rosen.

• Marco and Jozu realized that Whitebeard was close to being overwhelmed, and Marco asked Vista whether he was within range to attack Rosen.
• Vista drew his twin blades, coated them in Armament Haki, and launched two enormous slash waves at Rosen with Two Sword Style: Flower Sword.

Tokikake used the More More Fruit to destroy Vista’s slash, while Gion revealed that she had eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Their debuts halted the Whitebeard Pirates’ attack and showed that the Marines had formidable young fighters ready to face their commanders.

• The Admirals recognized Tokikake and Gion’s strength as they stood against the Whitebeard Pirates’ commanders.

Rosen suppressed Whitebeard’s Conqueror’s Haki while the Marine recruits and Admirals repelled the Whitebeard Pirates’ commanders. After the pirates launched a full assault and Rosen withdrew his Haki, Whitebeard foresaw a dire outcome as Rosen ordered the Giant Vice Admirals to advance.

• Gion destroyed Jozu’s Haki-coated boulder with lightning, while Borsalino intercepted Marco and kicked him back to the Moby Dick.
• Jozu, Vista, and Marco decided to launch a full-scale assault so Rosen could not freely use Conqueror’s Haki amid the melee.
• Marco ordered the Whitebeard Pirates and their allied crews to charge, and tens of thousands of pirates unleashed attacks on the Marines.

• John Giant transformed into an Azure Dragon hybrid and caught Little Oars Jr.’s great blade, then pierced him with a Roaring Thunder punch.

• The four Azure Dragons unleashed Dragon Twister and swept aside the Whitebeard Pirates’ bullets, cannonballs, Slash Waves, and shockwaves.

The Navy’s five Giant Vice Admirals transformed into Azure Dragons and attacked the Whitebeard Pirates, whose captains intercepted their Heat Breath. Rosen then revealed five Elite Vice Admirals in Great Buddha forms, and their combined shockwaves destroyed five pirate ships, leaving the Whitebeard fleet under overwhelming pressure.

• Lunz and the other Giant Vice Admirals unleashed four streams of Heat Breath at the Whitebeard Pirates’ outer ships while Gion and Tokikake kept Jozu and Vista from intervening.
• Satch, Blamenco, Rakuyo, and Namul each stopped a stream of Heat Breath, though Satch was blasted into the sea and Blamenco was driven back onto his ship.
• Rosen ordered Momonga, Kizaru, Doberman, Onigumo, and Doberman to advance, and the five Elite Vice Admirals transformed into golden Great Buddhas.
• Edward Newgate recognized the Great Buddha form as Sengoku’s power, while the Whitebeard Pirates were horrified to see five identical Mythical Zoan users.
• The five Navy Great Buddhas unleashed their Buddha Shockwaves together, splitting the sea and destroying five pirate ships while the Whitebeard captains tried to shield their crews.

• Rosen deployed three groups of three hundred and fifty Science Unit Marines, who bombarded the pirates with lasers, lightning, and Scarlet Flames.
• Rosen called on Sakazuki, who unleashed more than a hundred enormous Magma Fists in Meteor Volcano and spread despair among the Whitebeard Pirates.

As Akainu’s Meteor Volcano devastated the Whitebeard Pirates, Edward Newgate tried to stop the barrage with a Tremor-Tremor Fruit-powered slash. Rosen appeared before him, caught Cloud-Cutting Sword barehanded, and completely suppressed its tremor force, leaving the two men face to face.

• Akainu unleashed Meteor Volcano, burning pirate ships and killing or gravely injuring pirates across the battlefield.
• Gion, Borsalino, Tokikake, and other Marines intercepted Jozu, Marco, Vista, and the Whitebeard Pirates’ other commanders, while Kuzan and Douglas Bullet held back the advancing pirates.

• Edward Newgate recognized Rosen’s strength, and Rosen challenged him by asking, “Do you want to dance too, Whitebeard?”

Rosen fought Edward Newgate at Marineford and overwhelmed the world's strongest man with superior Haki and Rokushiki. He left Edward blasted into a vast crater in the ice, bleeding beneath a pillar of dust and mist.

• Edward Newgate attacked Rosen with Murakumogiri and a Tremor-Tremor Fruit punch, but Rosen caught the blade and stopped the punch with one finger.

• Edward Newgate charged Rosen and swung Cloud-Cutting Sword with an Airquake attack as Rosen unleashed Susanoo: Evening Elephant: Fifth Speed.
• Their attacks met without making direct contact, and the resulting shockwave shattered the ice battlefield across dozens of kilometers and lifted chunks of ice into the air.

Rosen defeated Edward Newgate after their ten-second clash, breaking Cloud-Cutting Sword and forcing the wounded Whitebeard to kneel. The Whitebeard Pirates could not reach Rosen, and Edward Newgate’s era ended as he knelt before him.

• Marco saw Edward Newgate collapse and feared the Whitebeard Pirates’ leader had been defeated.
• The Three Admirals pressed their attack, while Diamond Jozu rallied the Whitebeard Pirates to fight to the death and allied pirates began deserting.

• The Whitebeard Pirates’ fighters held back the Admirals and Douglas Bullet to prevent them from intercepting the falling island.
• Jinbe attacked Sakazuki with an Armament Haki-coated water cannon, then fought to delay him and let the island reach the battlefield.

Rosen faced Shiki as Shiki’s falling island failed to turn the battle against the Marines, then the Big Mom Pirates arrived in full force and Charlotte Linlin accepted Rosen’s challenge. The battlefield shifted into a confrontation against Whitebeard, Shiki, and Big Mom together.

• Shiki arrived above Rosen and unleashed his Conqueror’s Haki, but Rosen dismissed his attempt to help the Whitebeard Pirates with a falling island.
• Sakazuki used magma clones to drive Jinbe underwater, then pierced Shiki’s island with Great Eruption and scattered its burning fragments across the Whitebeard Pirates.
