07 New Shichibukai, Blackbeard

Shortly after, Blackbeard captured Ace and handed him over to the Marines. The tale of him becoming a Shichibukai spread across the ocean.

The name of Blackbeard appeared in the public eye for the first time!

With the recent defeat of Shichibukai Crocodile, a new replacement has emerged. People are curious about who this new Shichibukai is.

Countless newspapers continue to flood the streets, spreading the news far and wide.

The first to catch wind of the news among the Shichibukai were, of course, the well-informed king of the underground, Joker.

Dressrosa, King Castle

The 'Heavenly Yaksha', as well known as 'the Joker', Donquixote Doflamingo

"Blackbeard? During the Shichibukai meeting, his crew member infiltrated Marines Headquarter and also said that he wanted to become a Shichibukai. Unexpectedly, he actually became one within a few days, which was interesting. "

Doflamingo looked at the newspaper in his hand and spoke.

"Doffy, he captured Whitebeard's second division commander alive and handed him over to the Marines."

Trebol, with a runny nose, motioned towards him, and Doflamingo looked at the back of the newspaper. 

"Oh? He captured the Fire Fist Ace alive?"

When Doflamingo heard this, there was a hint of interest on his face, and then he laughed out loud:

"Fufuu Heehahaha… That's very interesting. With Whitebeard's character, wouldn't he want to start a war with the Marines and get his son back?"

With those words, he sat up on the recliner and added, "Let everyone calm down; there's a good show coming up!"

"Understood. "

Torebol nodded.

The world's number one swordsman, 'Hawkeye' Dracule Mihawk, sailed on the sea when a newspaper landed on his boat. As he picked it up and read the news, his eyes narrowed.

"The pirate who left a scar on Red-Haired Shanks..." 

These were Hawkeye's first words upon seeing Teach.

After a moment, he continued, "That man will definitely start a war with the Marines."

Saying this, a flash of swordlight gleamed before his eyes.

The newspapers had turned into neat strips and scattered in the wind…

.

Fishman Island, Ryugu Palace

'The Knight of the Sea' Jinbe also received the news, but concern flickered in his eyes.

It was obvious that he had thought about what would happen next.

"Jinbe, what do you think Whitebeard will do?" 

King Neptune of Fishman Island asked Jinbe with uncertain voice

"There will undoubtedly be a war with the Marines Headquarters, and I'm afraid I have to give up my position as a Shichibukai because Ace is my friend, and I can't just ignore him!" 

Jinbei declared firmly.

"Then our Fishman Island will lose the world government's and marine protection..." 

Neptune sighed, recognizing the inevitability of the situation.

Jinbei lowered his head once more, fixating on Teach's image in the newspaper.

In the newspaper, Teach maintained his smile. It was evident from the image that he was definitely not a good person.

After a long pause, Jinbei spoke in a solemn tone, "I saw him on Whitebeard's ship before. Compared to then, he's completely different now! Blackbeard is definitely a dangerous person."

.

In addition to the Shichibukai, the Emperors of the Sea also took notice of this matter. 

This involved the Red-Haired Pirates...

"Shanks, your guess was indeed correct. Something big has happened. Fire Fist Ace was captured by Blackbeard and handed over to the Marines, and he's become a Shichibukai!" 

Ban Beckman reported.

"Teach..." 

Upon hearing this name, Shanks felt a twinge in the scar on his eye.

"His purpose is definitely not that simple. He's just starting to show his fangs" 

Shanks said with a serious expression.

"This already signals that there will definitely be a major war ahead, a clash between Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, and the Marines Headquarters!" 

Ben Beckman took a deep drag of his cigarette, his eyelids slightly drooping, and muttered.

"You're saying becoming a Shichibukai is not his goal; his goal is to start a war!" 

Shanks exclaimed in shock.

Ben Beckman pondered for a moment and replied softly, "Perhaps... or maybe there's another reason."

Upon hearing his words, the expressions of everyone in the Red-Haired Pirate crew changed.

It's rare for even Ban Beckman not to be sure about something, be he knows as the great mind behind Shanks, as his Vice Captain

What in the world is Blackbeard Teach planning to do?!

.

Compared to them, the other pirate group is as violent as thunder! 

This is the Whitebeard Pirates!

The pirates that Blackbeard betrayed by killing 4th Division Commander Thatch, also a home and family for 2nd Division Commander, Portgas D. Ace who was about to be executed

"Teach!!!" 

Marco stared at the newspaper in his hand, fists clenched, and veins bulging.

Anger was evident on everyone's faces aboard the ship. 

The white-bearded man in a high position maintained a demeanor devoid of both happiness and anger.

The crew, witnessing this scene, understood that their father was extremely angry!

"TEACH!!!" 

Whitebeard pronounced Teach's name with deliberate emphasis.

Then, a terrifying Conqueror's Haki emanated from Whitebeard, and the once calm sea suddenly restless, giving rise to turbulent waves.

The sea couldn't handle the anger of the strongest man in the world!
