shinjita sono saki e to...

To the future I believe in...

Separated from the rest of the Straw Hats,

Luffy made it to Marineford to rescue his brother, Ace who will be executed!

He and the Whitebeards have invaded the plaza to make it to the scaffold!

In the midst of the Navy's onslaught, with the Whitebeards' assistance,

Luffy finally freed Ace! However...

Watch what I do.

Wait!

Luffy!

"Looking for the Answer! Fire Fist Ace Dies on the Battlefield!"

Ace...

Ace!

Ace!

Ace-san!

Ace!

He's been beaten! Dammit!

Stop Akainu!

Can't believe it!

Hurry up! Do something about these handcuffs!

I'm trying but... Damn, I can't break them!

Oh yeah! He can do it!

--He? --Yeah, the guy who uncuffed Ace!

I'll make the key! Uncuff him right away!

Yeah, you're right! Bring him here now!

Okay!

Fire!

How's this war going to end?

We made you pay for what you've done to Ace! Have you learned a lesson, Akainu?

No way! Is he a monster?!

Looks like you're still alive!

"Fire Fist" Ace!

Don't do it...

Don't do it!

Ace!

I can't believe you let your guard down, Whitebeard!

I won't let you interrupt!

Brat!

Jimbei!

You can't touch him anymore!

You're just delaying the inevitable, Jimbei! Since you were once a Warlord,

I bet you know what I'm capable of!

I'd be happy to risk my life if I can delay it!

I've been ready to die from the beginning!

Jimbei!

Marco! He's here!

Gee, thank you for helping me! I almost got killed...

Cut the crap and uncuff me now!

V-Vice Admiral Garp!

What are you...?

Garp!

What are you doing?! Are you losing your mind?!

You better keep holding me down like that, Sengoku!

Because if you don't, I will kill Sakazuki!

You fool!

Looks like I need to execute a traitor, too!

Jimbei, get down!

How annoying!

So you guys are Haki users!

How could we let that happen?!

I couldn't have more regret about it!

Can't you see that it's too late to save "Fire Fist?!"

Take a look!

Ace...

Hey, are you all right? Hey.

Ace, you need to get treated right away!

I'm sorry, Luffy...

Huh?

In order to save me,

you pushed yourself that far but...

...I couldn't make it all the way.

I'm sorry.

Wh-What are you saying?

Don't be ridiculous!

Somebody, treat him!

Please! Please help Ace!

Hey somebody! Help Ace! Please!

--Hurry! This way! Give him first aid now! --Okay!

Straw boy...

Ace! Are you alright?!

Hurry up and treat him!

Okay, let me see the wound!

Please!

This is...!

Huh?

Hey.

What's the matter? Hurry up and help him!

I'm sorry.

What do you mean by that?

What's going on?! Just do something!

Hey, aren't you a doctor?! Hey!

It's no use.

My organs have been burned.

I can't hold out any longer.

I can tell that my life is ending.

That's not true!

Oh yeah, Ivan-chan!

Hey, I beg you!

Inject that stuff into Ace! Please!

Like you did to me, why can't you help Ace?!

Hey, I beg you! Please! Help! Help Ace!

Please inject that into Ace...

Straw boy!

Ace boy... can't make it!

Huh? No way.

You promised me!

You said...

...that you'd never die...

...no matter what!

Ace!!

Ace...

What did you say?

You can't hold out any longer?

You promised me...

...that you'd never die...

...no matter what, Ace!

Do I even deserve to have been born?

What if Gold Roger had a child?

Of course I know what'd happen to him!

He'd get his head cut off for sure!

No way! I'm not content if we kill him that easily!

How about we prick him with a needle

once for every grudge that someone holds against Roger?!

No way! Instead, we'll burn him alive first

and humiliate him prior to death in front of the whole world!

That's nice!

Everybody will say "that serves him right!"

I want to hear from him as he dies:

"I'm sorry I was born! I'm just a piece of trash!"

But I don't think that he ever had a child!

No one wanted me to be born.

Ace! You caused trouble in the city again!

They're making a fuss about it! Don't give us a hard time!

Hey! Are you listening, Ace?!

--Shut up, Dadan! --What'd you say?!

If I were stronger, I would have killed all of them!

I wouldn't even have a will to live...

...if it weren't for Sabo and a high-maintenance brother like you.

Oh yeah. If you see Dadan someday, say hello for me.

When I face my own death, I even miss a woman like her.

Like I said, don't say that you're gonna die!

There is one thing that makes me wanna stay.

That is my desire to see you fulfill your dream.

But I'm sure that you can do it!

Because you're my brother!

That day...

Listen, Luffy.

We have to live without leaving any regrets.

Uh-huh.

We gotta go out to sea someday...

...and live as we like.

Freer than anyone else.

Like we promised that day, I have no regret...

...in my life.

That's a lie! Don't tell a lie!

I'm not lying.

Something tells me that what I truly wanted was not fame.

Did I deserve to be born?

What I wanted was the answer for that question.

Become my son!

You better tell me that my beloved son is all right.

I'm your brother!

You can say whatever you want!

I'm gonna save you even if it means death!

Guys! Rescue Ace and...

...destroy the Navy!!

I'm gonna get Ace back!!

Finally...

I made it! Ace!

Just tell me one thing.

Are you happy to have me as your father?

I can't raise my voice to let everybody hear me anymore.

Could you tell them...

...what I'm about to say now?

Pops!

Everybody!

And you Luffy.

Thank you...

...for loving someone like me who is good for nothing...

...and who has such bad blood in his veins...

...up to today.

Thank you!

Old man.

Huh?

Do you think...

...that I deserved to be born?

That's something...

...you'll see as you live.

Ace...

Ace...

It is a reality difficult to accept.

Ace's death cruelly unfolds before Luffy's eyes.

But the battle does not pause.

As the pursuit intensifies,

Whitebeard's rage shakes all of Marineford!

On the next episode of One Piece!

"The Navy Headquarters Falls! Whitebeard's Unspeakable Wrath!"

I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
