Rumba appears as he takes more energy pills. A massive amount of energy is released from him. Rumba launches quickly toward Vegeta and delivers a powerful blow that sends Vegeta flying away. Rumba then fires a ki blast from his hand at Vegeta, and when it hits him, it causes a massive explosion.

Smoker appears, delivering multiple fast strikes with his weapon toward Luffy, saying: "Straw Hat! It's impossible that you're the same person I met back in Loguetown!"

Meanwhile, Luffy easily dodges Smoker's attacks. Luffy arms his hand with Haki and counters Smoker's attack, destroying his weapon with his own hand. Quickly, Luffy vanishes and appears next to Smoker, delivering a strong punch that sends Smoker flying far and crashing to the ground.

Smoker says: "Damn it! How have you changed this much!"

Luffy continues advancing toward the execution platform.

A pirate says while watching Luffy: "Straw Hat is advancing quickly... Oi, where's Oyaji?"

Another pirate replies: "He hasn't reached the plaza yet... he's still fighting Admiral Kizaru..."

Whitebeard appears standing in front of Kizaru and says: "You're so annoying!"

Kizaru responds: "How are you annoyed when you're the one who caused all this chaos... Whitebeard..."

As Kizaru speaks, Marco suddenly descends rapidly from the sky, delivering a strong kick to Kizaru, but Kizaru blocks the attack and a powerful clash occurs between them.

Marco says: "Sorry for being late, Oyaji... You can continue moving forward now."

Kizaru: "You again..."

Whitebeard advances toward Oars's body and says: "I'm counting on you..."

At this moment, Vegeta emerges from the smoke caused by Rumba's blast, and suddenly Goku and Trunks appear beside him.

Trunks says: "Father..."

Goku says: "Let's attack him together..."

Goku and Vegeta transform into Super Saiyan Blue, while Trunks becomes Super Saiyan. They all charge quickly toward Rumba. Vegeta lands multiple punches on Rumba, but Rumba is unaffected, smiling while looking at Vegeta. Vegeta then fires two ki blasts at Rumba's face, which explode on contact. Rumba emerges from the smoke, and Goku quickly launches a powerful strike that pushes Rumba back.

Rumba says angrily: "You little..."

Before Rumba can finish his words, he notices Trunks above him in the sky. He looks up and sees Trunks firing a barrage of ki blasts at him. Vegeta and Goku suddenly disappear from beside Rumba, and Trunks's blasts hit Rumba, causing massive explosions.

Trunks says: "Did that attack affect him..."

Goku shouts: "Trunks, watch out!"

Suddenly, Rumba charges at Trunks and lands a powerful knee to his stomach, making Trunks cry out in pain. Rumba then punches Trunks in the back, slamming him to the ground hard.

Goku and Vegeta appear in the sky, and Trunks quickly flies up to them after hitting the ground.

Goku says to Trunks: "Are you okay?"

Trunks: "Yeah, don't worry..."

Rumba consumes more energy pills and says: "Now it's my turn to attack."

Rumba vanishes quickly and appears behind Goku, between Vegeta and Trunks. He strikes Vegeta with his right hand and Trunks with his left, sending them both flying.

Goku, trying to turn quickly behind him toward Rumba, says: "Damn it!"

Before Goku can fully turn around, Rumba grabs him tightly from behind with both hands and begins to crush him.

Rumba: "How about this... I can wipe you all out easily..."

Rumba keeps squeezing Goku tightly while Goku struggles in pain to break free.

Rumba: "Let's see how many seconds you last before your bones are crushed."

Trunks: "Goku-san!"

Goku unleashes a massive burst of energy and says: "Kaio-Ken!"

Goku tries to escape Rumba's grip, but Rumba releases even more overwhelming energy and continues to crush Goku harder.

Rumba, smiling, says: "There's no point in trying... You're no match for me!"

But Goku yells loudly and angrily: "Shut up!"

Goku pushes Rumba's hands away from him.

Rumba: "What?!"

Goku quickly turns, powered by Super Saiyan Blue and Kaio-Ken, and knees Rumba in the head. Goku spins again and kicks Rumba in the face with his other leg, sending him flying.

Rumba: "Seems you've got a nice technique to boost your power..."

Vegeta charges quickly at Rumba, saying: "I'm your opponent, you bastard!"

Rumba: "I really hate annoying insects!"

Rumba charges fast at Vegeta and they clash with great force.

Rumba: "If you knew my true power, you wouldn't dare show your face to me again..."

Vegeta: "This face will be the last thing you see..."

Rumba punches toward Vegeta's face, saying: "Then get closer!"

But Vegeta vanishes and evades the strike. He quickly reappears in front of Rumba and lands multiple punches on his face. Rumba retaliates with a strike, but Vegeta blocks it with both arms. The impact pushes Vegeta back a little. Vegeta smiles while staring at Rumba.

Rumba: "I need to take more of these..."

Rumba fires many ki blasts from his right hand toward Vegeta, but Vegeta dodges them. The blasts hit the execution plaza in Marineford, causing massive explosions.

Marine soldiers: "For hell's sake! How can we stop the pirates when there are monsters destroying everything behind us!"

Another soldier shouts: "Watch out! Whitebeard has entered the battlefield!"

Whitebeard jumps from above Oars's body to the battlefield next to Oars's unconscious head.

Whitebeard: "Thank you for carrying us on your back, Oars..."

Marine soldiers: "Damn it! Now there are monsters behind us and one in front!"

Sengoku: "You're late, Whitebeard... Feast your eyes on what's about to happen... Prepare yourselves..."

The executioners beside Ace raise their swords and shout: "Yes sir!"

Pirates: "Those bastards! Ace!!"

Whitebeard and Luffy say at the same time: "I won't let this happen!"

Nearby soldiers shout: "Stop them from getting closer! We must protect the execution platform at all costs!"

While they speak, one soldier behind them slowly approaches the execution platform.

Sengoku: "Execute the sentence now!"

The executioners carry out the order. Luffy, Whitebeard, and the pirates all watch. Suddenly, the soldier who approached the platform arms his hand with Haki and, just before the swords reach Ace's head, strikes the wall above the execution platform, shouting: "Dragon Claw!"

He destroys the wall and the entire execution platform.

Sengoku: "What?!"

Soldiers: "The execution platform is collapsing!!"

Pirates: "Ace!!"

Everyone on the platform falls as it collapses. But before Ace hits the ground, the person who destroyed the platform leaps and catches Ace, who's still bound in chains, and they land safely. Sengoku and Garp land behind them.

Ace: "I don't know who you are, but thank you..."

Sengoku: "You bastard! How dare you do this! You'll pay with your life for this act!"

A pirate: "What just happened there?!"

Another pirate: "One of the marine soldiers saved Ace..."

Pirate: "What?!"

Marine soldiers surround Ace and the one who saved him, angry.

Soldiers: "You damned traitor! How could you abandon all your principles! Did Whitebeard pay you a fortune to do this!"

The man smiles and says: "Money? Traitor? You fools... I'm not with the Marines..."

He throws off the Marine uniform he was wearing into the air and says: "...I'm with the Revolutionary Army!"

Soldiers: "What?! The Revolutionary Army?!"

Ace looks at him, confused.

Suddenly, Luffy shouts with joy: "Ooooh..! Saaaaboooo!"

Ace: "What? Sabo? What are you saying, Luffy... Sabo died long ago, it's impossible that this person is... is... Sa... Sa..."

Sabo: "It's been a while, Ace..."

Ace, shocked, says: "Sabo! I can't believe it! You're alive!"

Sabo smiles and says: "And so are you..."
