Chapter 2

 * In the manga, the beginning is a quick recap of the rest of novel 1 and chapter 1 of novel 2 with some differences. The Spade Pirates meet Rayleigh at Sabaody Archipelago and Hammond at Fish-Man Island, in the books they meet vice admiral Draw at Sabaody and Aladine at Fish-Man Island.
 * Even Isuka does not appear in this chapter 2, so she and Draw stayed out of the manga rendition.
 * In the manga, Marshall D. Teach stops the escape of the Spade Pirates after the clash between Ace and Newgate. In the novel those events are offscreen.
 * In the manga, at the end of the chapter, Ace sees his father's face in the night sky.
