"Ace!!!"
Luffy's roar rang out across the battlefield once more.
Just as everyone thought Ace's head was about to roll.
Two Sand Blades sliced through the edge of the Execution Platform, blasting the two execution soldiers away.
Crocodile's dark expression immediately made him the center of attention.
Sengoku glared at him furiously. "You bastard! I thought someone with a grudge against Whitebeard like you would be of some help to us, Crocodile!"
"Yeah, that old man who's about to die? I'll deal with him later."
"Before that, I don't want to see those smug looks on your faces."
With a cigar clenched between his teeth, Crocodile said something that made everyone look at him in a new light before the Martial Gods, Star Gods, Sword Saint, and Shichibukai gathered in the Empty Throne Hall.

Borsalino kicked the exhausted Luffy back into Newgate's hands.
Once again, he successfully drew everyone's attention to himself.

"Not really," Garp answered hesitantly.
Sakazuki narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Something's wrong with that guy."
But before he could continue pondering the reason, the battlefield finally reached its climax.
With a thunderous boom.
"Akainu" Sakazuki, the Navy Admiral, caught elderly Whitebeard's Murakumogiri with a kick.
In an instant, terrifying shockwaves and scorching heat swept across the entire battlefield.
Countless Marines and pirates locked in battle were sent flying.
Kaido: "Here it comes!"
Bullet: "It's finally started!"
Shiki: "But Whitebeard's condition is terrible."
