Summit War Saga
Marineford Arc
Marineford, where most of the Marines' families live, was empty as everyone had been evacuated to Sabaody Archipelago. On the archipelago, the families as well as many reporters watched giant monitors that were broadcasted from Marineford, monitoring the situation. Royder, a journalist, and other reporters were also present, ready to deliver the news as soon as possible.
Royder was the first among the crowd to proclaim that Ace had arrived at the gallows.[2] Later, when Sengoku announced that Ace is Roger's son, Royder and the rest of the crowd were shocked and horrified.[4] He then watched the rest of the war unfold with the rest of the crowd.
