"This is bad, this is bad."
"We'd better get out of here, too!"
In a corner of Marineford's plaza, a group of escaped prisoners in black-and-white striped uniforms huddled together, trembling as they watched Whitebeard rise from the dead and unleash his might.
A man with a mohawk held an image-transmitting Den Den Mushi, pointing it at the red-nosed man before him with an adoring expression.
