Long Summary
While everybody is amazed at Luffy, both Coby and Helmeppo begin to talk about his selflessness. Luffy alerts Whitebeard about the plan to execute Ace ahead of schedule. Buggy comments that he hates Luffy's fearlessness and Ivankov claims that only Dragon's son could be so brave. Whitebeard thanks Luffy for the information and everybody is surprised they are talking in equal terms. Luffy begins his assault, breaking through all the Marines in his way. Jozu watches Luffy with joy, and sends his division to follow Luffy. Jinbei, Ivankov, and the Newkamas then leap into battle. The 14th division commanded by Speed Jiru also starts to charge. Garp is surprised that Luffy is in the battlefield as Sengoku speaks his thoughts about how the pirates can be encouraged by Luffy. Sengoku then commands the Marines through Den Den Mushi. Whitebeard is very cautious about Sengoku's plan thinking over what they are planning. Marco alerts Whitebeard of the current situation of Ace and Squardo who is tied with the Vice Admirals at the bay. Whitebeard warns the first Division Commander to not fall into Sengoku's trap as Sengoku is not a man who would make mistakes easily. The 14th Division is assaulted by Kizaru who then sees Luffy close, and decides to attack him. Ivankov saves Luffy by pushing him away with a Death Wink. Buggy and his followers begin to panic. When the Impel Down prisoners mistook Buggy's attitude as bravery, Mr. 3 starts to scold them. Bartholomew Kuma then attacks Ivankov with his beams. After evading the beams, Ivankov is surprised on "how he can attack him since they known each other for so long". Ivankov tells Luffy to let him handle Kuma, and Luffy presses forward. Fullbody and Jango prepare to attack Luffy, who doesn't not remember them at first, which angers them, and by pure luck, he is able to avoid Jango's hypnotism by looking at a nearby explosion. Both Fullbody and Jango fell to Jango's hypnotism and then kicked away by Hina, whom Luffy recognizes from Arabasta. Hina tries to imprison Luffy, but he managed to get pass her using Gear Second. The Squardo Pirates are having difficulties with the Vice Admirals, and Squardo tries to sneak into the plaza to rescue Ace, but he sees a "mysterious figure" before proceeding. Luffy fights with several strong Marines, whom he is able to defeat with some difficulty. Gecko Moria commend Luffy's powers, and plans to once again take his shadow, for Oars Jr. and sends his army of zombies after him. Luffy tries to avoid conflict with Moria, but is soon stopped by an increasing number of zombies. Kizaru sends more Marines after him, wondering how long can Luffy last. Ace shows his concern for Luffy and tells him to retreat, which surprises Boa Hancock and Marco. Ace starts to berate Luffy for getting into other's affairs. Luffy replies that they are brothers and he doesn't care about the code of pirates. Marines starts to wonder if Luffy may be another son of Gol D. Roger. Luffy is then attacked by Moria's zombies, but they are subdued by Jinbei who uses seawater to defeat them. Jinbei tells Luffy that he will handle Moria. One of the Giants attempts to crush Luffy as Sengoku tells everybody of Luffy's relationship with Ace as an adoptive brother and reveals that Luffy is the son of Dragon, which greatly shockes everybody. Smoker is now able to understand why Dragon saved Luffy at Loguetown. This revelation greatly surprises the people at Sabaody Archipelago and prompts the Marines to kill Luffy. Garp does not mind since Luffy is already a well-known pirate. Luffy is able to defeat the Giant with Gear Third, and shouts at Ace that he will save him "even if it means death" which prompts the Whitebeard Pirates to appreciate him due to their common goal, and Whitebeard tells Marco they "can't let him die". Ace looks surprised at Luffy.
