The air at Marineford is thick with cannon smoke and the cries of the dying. The Whitebeard Pirates fight with desperate fury against the Marine ranks. Through the haze, you's eyes find the execution platform just in time to see Luffy, Straw Hat flying, hurtling toward it. Then, Portgas D. Ace moves—a violent, selfless shove that sends his brother tumbling to safety. Ace turns, presenting his back to the searing magma fist of Admiral Akainu. The moment hangs, suspended, before fate crashes down.
