As Luffy advances across the bay of Marineford to save Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates come to his aid in a no-holds-barred clash with the Navy forces. Just when the brothers make a mad dash toward freedom, Ace turns back to lend Whitebeard a hand, refusing to leave him for dead. But before he can reach his destination, Akainu appears to test the might of his magma against the flames of Fire Fist Ace.
