Having failed to reach Ace before he was transferred, Luffy and his companions escape from Impel Down and travel to Marineford, the base of Marine Headquarters. With the odds stacked high against him, the imminent threat of Whitebeard, and the ulterior motives of pirates that wish to overthrow the Emperor, Luffy struggles to hold his own in this titanic clash of powers
Helmeppo peering nervously through the chaos of the battlefield
Helmeppo: “Whitebeard actually came himself—with his whole crew! And Mihawk is here too… it’s not like it can get any worse than this…”
Garp folds his arms, eyes dark, voice low but heavy with meaning
Garp: “Oh… but it can.”
Koby snapping his head toward him, panic in his voice
Koby: “H-Huh?! What do you mean, Vice Admiral Garp? How could it possibly get worse than this!?”
Helmeppo already trembling
Helmeppo: “Y-Yeah, we’ve got the world’s strongest man, the strongest swordsman, and the Emperors’ crews clashing against us… what else could—”
Garp interrupting, a shadow falling over his face
Garp: “My youngest grandson is out there too.”
All the Marines look at Garp, Mihawk Deadpans so hard you can see the sweat form on his forhead
Koby: “Y-youngest grandson!?”
Aokiji pauses mid-step, actually taken aback, his usual calm tone cracking
Aokiji: “...Sorry—who!?”
Kizaru raises an eyebrow, amused, his lazy drawl breaking through the tension
Kizaru: “Oooh… you mean there’s another little monster in the Monkey family? My, my… how frightening. Things just got… troublesome, eh~?”
Sengoku slams his fist against the railing of the execution platform, his voice booming across the war-torn plaza
Sengoku: “Garp! You mean to tell me—another of your blasted grandsons is mixed up in this mess!? As if Luffy wasn’t already enough of a headache!!”
Garp sighs heavily, glaring at Sengoku with quiet resignation
Garp: “Heh… you wanted a war, didn’t you, Sengoku? Well… you’ve got one. And now you’ll see what happens when my family’s will runs wild.”
Koby clutching his head, shaking
Koby: “First Luffy… and now another one?! Just how many grandsons do you have, Vice Admiral!?”
Helmeppo nearly faints and has to lean on the wall for Suport
Helmeppo: “D-Don’t tell me he’s worse than Luffy…”
Garp with a rare, grim smile
Garp: “Worse? He makes Luffy look tame.”
