"Ah! The ships are frozen! They can't move!"
"We can't advance any farther into the bay!"
"Mira, everyone off the ships! We'll run straight in!"
"They've given us a battlefield."
Outside Moon Bay, pirates from Whitebeard's allied fleet leaped off their ships.
Weapons in hand, they charged toward the bay.
