Luffy re-enters the battle, and manages to defeat Koby and pass the Pacifista (with Hancock's help). However, Marco and Jozu are defeated by Admirals Kizaru and Aokiji, and Whitebeard is attacked mercilessly by Marine officers. However, Whitebeard is able to hold out a little longer, but Ace is about to be executed. At the last second, Luffy lets loose a burst of Haki that knocks out a number of Marines and the executioners, stunning everyone present.
