• Roy watched Whitebeard approach as fighters across Marineford kept the Marine commanders occupied and Marine forces suffered heavy losses.
• Roy declared that it was time to act and vanished from the bow of the Ark Maxim.

Roy used his awakened telekinesis to impose selective gravity across Marineford, crushing unconscious Marines and pinning down the surviving officers while his allies kept Sengoku, Garp, and Akainu occupied. He then moved through his domain and began killing Marine Vice Admirals with swift sword strikes.

• Roy spread his Telekinesis Domain across Marineford and unleashed Gravity, sparing the retreating Whitebeard Pirates and Hachinosu while crushing unconscious Marines into blood mist.

• Roy killed Gurumi, the twelfth Marine Vice Admiral to fall, and Sengoku tried to reach him, but Yamato blocked his path.

Roy continued killing Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals while Akainu fought Lucci, Jabra, Blueno, and Kaku on the ice. The four CP9 agents wounded Akainu but could not defeat him, and the Marine top brass feared Roy’s unchecked slaughter.

• Akainu melted the ice with Meteor Volcano: Ground Rupture, forcing Lucci, Jabra, Blueno, and Kaku back.
• Lucci and Jabra coordinated an attack: Jabra’s Rust-Rust power exposed Akainu’s solid body, and Lucci stabbed him in the chest.

• Chaton warned the others not to underestimate Roy, activated his Cloud Pig powers, and formed rock armor surrounded by air currents.

Roy fought Chaton and the four Vice Admirals who attacked alongside him, overwhelming them with his Telekinesis and swordsmanship. With the four Vice Admirals down, Roy turned to Chaton and said he would take his Mythical Zoan Fruit.

• Twelve masked figures followed Saturn through the circle, led by Holy Knights commander Figarland Shamrock.

Saint Saturn and the Holy Knights arrived to stop the battle, but Roy refused to accept the World Government’s offer to end the conflict. Shamrock challenged Roy to settle their old grudge, drawing a sword that had eaten a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit with ice powers.

• Saint Saturn confronted Roy and proposed that he and his people leave in exchange for the World Government letting Marine Headquarters’ losses go unanswered.
• Roy rejected the offer, recounting the World Government’s long campaign against him and Hachinosu.
• Shamrock asked Saint Saturn to let him fight Roy and stepped forward to face him.
• Roy mocked Shamrock by calling him “Stanks,” provoking him to draw his sword.
• Roy recognized that Shamrock’s sword had eaten a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit whose power was ice.

Roy easily dispersed Shamrock’s Haki-laden slash with his Telekinesis Fruit power, then fought him through an expanding cloud of freezing mist. Shamrock struggled to land a hit as Roy calmly dodged and countered.

• Shamrock unleashed a powerful freezing slash, but Roy erased it with the command “Disperse.”
