One Pace - Marineford

Fifty warships, 100,000 Marines, the Seven Warlords, and three admirals: Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru. The stage is set, and, as a battle with Whitebeard looms, Fleet Admiral Sengoku reveals a shocking truth about Ace.

To the surprise of all, the Moby Dick surfaces in the middle of Marineford! On the deck stands Whitebeard, the man who Ace calls father, and his fourteen commanders, the pirates he calls family, who share Luffy’s determination to stop the execution.

The players have assembled at last! Whitebeard unleashes a tsunami that is set to swallow every marine and turn Marine HQ upside down. The fight has just begun, as Marine admirals and pirate commanders alike showcase their incredible abilities.

A larger-than-life ally risks his life to pave the way forward, and the Whitebeard Pirates rush toward Ace. However, just as their rescue mission picks up momentum, Sengoku employs a surprise tactic that turns the tide yet again.

Luffy leaps into the fray! Battling against familiar faces and new foes alike, he races toward the scaffold like a whirlwind of destruction, and, as his brother begs for him to turn back, Luffy shares some powerful words of his own.

Facing Kuma on the battlefield, Ivankov reveals their shared past, but his pleas to his old companion fall on deaf ears as Kuma continues his attacks. In a sea of confusion, only Doflamingo seems to know the truth.

Luffy’s progress is halted by Mihawk, but the Whitebeard Pirates counter with a swordsman of their own. Then, when an army of human weapons encircle the battlefield, Luffy and his allies find themselves overwhelmed by their explosive attacks.

Squard’s betrayal of Whitebeard sends ripples of distrust and uncertainty throughout the pirate alliance. And yet, Whitebeard’s faith will not be shattered, and it soon becomes clear that his allies are falling into a clever setup launched by the Marines.

The pirates are trapped in the bay, held there by Akainu’s magma. Amid the chaos, the order for Ace’s execution is given, and Luffy makes a drastic decision that puts him face-to-face with the Marines' most powerful men.

His adopted son within reach, Whitebeard charges forth, undeterred by the strongest the Marines have to offer. With both sides swinging between victory and defeat, the battlefield plunges into chaos. Then Marco takes to the sky and soars to Ace’s side!

Faced with the might of the admirals, even Whitebeard's commanders falter. Refusing to relent, Luffy begs Ivankov for a final chance at victory. Amid a bevy of Marines, an old friend of Luffy’s appears for a much too premature reunion.

Having borne witness to Luffy’s latent powers, the Marines send everything they have at him. But thanks to Ivankov’s quick thinking, Luffy ascends toward Ace. Garp, unable to watch any longer, leaps into Luffy’s path.

Ace is free at last, and the pair of brothers are unstoppable! Although the Whitebeard Pirates are emboldened by their teamwork, their captain is not convinced that their escape will come so easily, and Whitebeard makes a difficult decision.

Ace protects his brother from Akainu but suffers a mortal blow in the process. Jinbe and the Whitebeard Pirates rush to his aid but soon realize he is far beyond help. As Ace takes his final breaths, he imparts a heartfelt message.

Blackbeard appears, Thatch’s murder and Ace’s capture all part of a terrifying plan that no one could have imagined! With the war in its final stage, Whitebeard fights to avenge his fallen sons and to punish the traitor who plotted his undoing.

Though Ace and Whitebeard have been killed, the Marines seek to wipe out every last pirate, even as they retreat. In the confusion, Akainu sets his eyes on the unconscious Luffy. Meanwhile, Blackbeard reveals his true scheme and a terrifying new power!

Senseless violence dyes the battlefield red with blood. Luffy’s allies struggle to save him as the admirals maintain their assault. Suddenly, the Red Hair Pirates appear! Narrowly missing a reunion with Luffy, Shanks utters a speech on the battlefield.
