Leah ran towards her ship, beating back every marine that tried to get in her way. She saw Truffle carry Atlanta and Todo back to the ship. She was a hundred yards away from her ship.

"Come on captain!" The twins shouted as they continued to fire the canon at approaching marines.

Leah would run in fast speeds making it to the ship. She got on the deck and turned towards Li. "Get us out of here!"

"You got it captain." Li said turning the wheel and making their exit.

With Ace and Luffy, they were running on the ice towards the pirate ships. Canons from marine positions were firing at the retreating pirates.

"We're almost there Luffy!" Ace shouted.

Suddenly a large plume of lava erupted from the ice in front of them. "What?" Ace said in shock.

Luffy looked just as surprised. As the plume subsided Akainu stepped onto the ice in front of them. "You devil children won't escape justice."

Ace acted quickly, creating a fireball and throwing it at the admiral. He didn't flinch when it hit. The pirate widened his eyes as the admiral enlarged his fist with his lava.

"You may be made of fire, but Lava can snuff it out."

"Gum-Gum Jet Rocket!" Luffy shouted, launching his fist at him.

Akainu allowed the punch to connect, and it was not effective as the pressurized air simply passed through him.

"You two insignificant pests that need to be taken care of before your infestation gets out of control."

The admiral then disappeared out of sight. On the Green Dragon Leah watched on in fear. They were fighting an admiral that would not hesitate to put down anything in the way of justice, but she couldn't do anything. Two of her crew were in serious condition, and she was also exhausted from her own encounter with Akainu, she couldn't help her brother or his brother. All she could do was yell in the hopes that they could hear her, as the admiral appeared behind Luffy.

"Luffy move out of the way!"

Time seemed to move slowly as Luffy turned his head behind him as the admiral was ready to punch him with lava coated fist only for Ace to push his brother out of the way, but was unable to dodge himself. The fist going through the pirates heart.

Leah screamed in horror. Luffy's eyes widened seeing his brother being impaled.

"Ace?"
