Sengoku will fight Blackbeard. Shanks and Mihawk will attack Blackbeard as well. Blackbeard will kill Sengoku and mortally wound Shanks. However, Blackberd himself will be wounded, though this won't be noticed by the others. He will eventualy leave with his crew. After Sengoku's death, Akainu will take command and order an attack against ther remaining pirates. Most of them, including the unnamed division commanders will be killed. The remaining pirates will withdraw. Shanks will reach Law's submarine, together with Buggy, Crocodile, Marco and a few others. Somebody will take Luffy's battered strawhat. Only a few pirates will escape on the submarine, most will be left behind. Akainu will promise them a pardon if they surrender, but after they've laid down their weapons, he'll order to execute them all. On the submarine, Luffy will get his strawhat back and he'll return it to the dying Shanks. They'll be a brif but very emotianal dialogue between them. Then Shanks will die and bequest his hat to Luffy. The marine propaganda will declar the battle a major victory as two of the yonkou were killed. Akainu will be promoted to Fleet Admiral. Garp will be made Akainu's successor as Admiral Shiroinu.
