Short Summary
Luffy informed Whitebeard of the plan that he heard before that Ace's execution will begin before schedule. As Luffy was all pumped-up, he charges immediately to save Ace then followed by more of Whitebeard's men, Jinbei, Ivankov and the rest of Newkama people. As Luffy was rushing forward, Kizaru planned to stop him but Ivankov saved him from the attack. Then, Ivankov without realizing a Pacifista out of nowhere shot laser beams at him, he had mistaken the Pacifista for Kuma who he knew for a long time. As Luffy progresses, more of his former enemies came at him, this includes Fullbody, Jango, Hina and Moria but all of them failed. Ace seeing Luffy risking his life for him suddenly became scared that his brother might suffer the same fate he has, so he told him that he doesn't want to be saved by him and to keep off because he has his own adventures. Luffy disagreed and shouted, he don't care for the rules of pirates because they are "brothers". Many was shocked hearing what he said and mistaken him as a son of the late Pirate King, and so Sengoku revealed the truth behind Luffy's father, Monkey D. Dragon, this made news to everyone. After knocking the Giant Marine out of the way, Luffy shouted he will save Ace even if it means death. Whitebeard seeing Luffy's determination, told Marco that they can't the boy die, to which Marco agrees.

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 immediately, just as Buggy shows his hate about Luffy's guts, as Ivankov claims only "his son could be so brave". Whitebeard is soon to thank Luffy for the information, as everybody is surprised they can talk in equal terms. Luffy begins his assault, breaking through all the Marines on his way. Jozu watches Luffy with joy, and sends his division to follow Luffy. Jinbei and Ivankov, with his subordinates soon follow, and the 14th division commanded by Speed Jiru is also soon to charge. Garp is surprised that Luffy is in the battlefield as Sengoku speaks his thoughts about "how there can be so many to rescue a daredevil (Ace)" and is soon to command the Marines through Den Den Mushi. Whitebeard is very cautious about Sengoku's plan thinking over "when they are all set". Marco alerts Whitebeard of the current situation of Ace and Squardo who is tied with the Vice Admirals at the bay, and decides to help them, but he soon warns him to not let him fall on Sengoku's plan as it was "leaked so easily". The 14th Division is assaulted by Kizaru who then sees Luffy close, and decides to attack him, but is saved by Invankov's winks who pushes Luffy away. Buggy and the rest begin to panic with Mr.3 scolding them. Bartholomew Kuma is soon to attack Ivankov, with his beams, which he evades. As he is surprised "how he can attack him since they known each other for so long". Ivankov tells Luffy to let him handle Kuma, and Luffy leaves. 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 an explosion around, which gets both Marines tired, and removed later by Hina whom Luffy recognizes from Arabasta. Hina tries to imprison Luffy, but he uses Gear Second to quickly pass through her. The Squardo Pirates are having difficulties with the Vice Admirals, and Squardo tries to sneak 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, and Gecko Moria is soon to commend his powers, and plans to once again take his shadow, for Oars Jr. and sends Marine Zombies after him. Luffy tries to avoid conflict with him, but is soon stopped by the powerful and increasing-in-number zombies, to which Kizaru sends more Marines after him, wondering "how longer he can last". Ace shows his concern for Luffy and tells him to retreat, which surprises Boa Hancock and Marco. Luffy replies that "he is his brother", which greatly surprises all the Marines who think he may be another son of Gold Roger. Luffy is attacked by Moria's zombies, but Jinbei puts seawater on them to defeat them, and tells Luffy he will handle Moria. One of the Giants tries to defeat Luffy, as Sengoku tells everybody of Luffy's relationship with Ace as "adoptive-brother" and revealing he's the son of Dragon, which greatly impresses everybody. Moria is shocked, Mihawk states that at this point, the news isn't very surprising, Hancock still loves Luffy and claims "she does not care if he's even the son of the demons", Kuma says nothing, Doflamingo laughs, finally figuring out the answer why Emporio Ivankov was at his (Luffy) side and Jinbei pieces everything together. 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 him. Garp does not mind noting that Luffy is already a very 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.
