You're right. I only got there at the end. It was... the Marines tried to execute the Second Division Commander of Whitebeard pirates, Fire Fist Ace. He was Strawhat-ya's older brother — that's why he broke into Impel Down.
But they're not related by blood. Strawhat-ya's father is Revolutionary Dragon, but Fire Fist was Roger's son. In the end, both the escapees from Impel Down and Whitebeard pirates attacked during the execution... but all the Marines had assembled, the vice admirals and admirals and fleet admiral, too. Strawhat-ya got his brother freed, but Fire Fist died regardless.
[ a pause. ] So did Whitebeard. The war would have likely gone on longer if Red Hair hadn't appeared to stop it.
[ he pauses again, to drink the rest of his now-lukewarm coffee. ] Of course they didn't really report anything about it. The entire thing about Impel Down was covered up, and the Marine casualties. The only thing the papers said was that it was a victory for the Marines. [ he scoffs. ] That's why I went there to see for myself what was happening.
