Whitebeard begins his fight with the Marines, beginning by defeating John Giant. The Marines attempt to raise their retaining wall, which was inhibited by Aokiji's ice, but Oars' blood and weight prevents part of the wall from working properly. However, this move traps the pirates within the bay, leaving them to be destroyed by the Marines' cannons. Akainu then creates a rain of magma fists that sink the Moby Dick.
