Contents
Destination
The target of the effort:
Port gas D. Ace
The highest goal issued was the release of Ace, who was condemned to death. Whitebeard, the commander-in-chief of the Armada, also gave orders and instructions within the battle in Marine Ford to achieve small milestones. For example, he ordered Little Oars Jr. to provide cover or Marco to watch out for Luffy. He also made some strategic decisions, such as adding Buggy and the Impel Down prisoners to his alliance, as they would have just slowed him down otherwise. He nipped a Marine-induced uprising of his allies in the bud. In the end, he wanted to save the lives of all his sons.
