Summary

At Sabaody the cut feed leaves crowds confused and the surviving Supernovas suspicious, with Eustass Kid choosing to leave. At Marineford, Akainu's magma robs the pirates of footing and obliterates the Moby Dick, while cannons in the iron wall herd them inward and Whitebeard's quake only dents the barrier. Sengoku calls for Ace's execution to begin. The pirates aim to cross over Oars Jr.'s body, and Luffy, after a favor asked of Jinbe, is launched skyward on a pillar of water that carries him over the gap to land before the platform with a ship's mast in hand. Aokiji freezes the mast, but Luffy shatters it with Gomu Gomu no Stamp Gatling and squares off against the admirals.
