17 Scarred Blackbeard 

"Whitebe...…Father!!!"

Blackbeard clutched his head, his face displaying pure disbelief.

As he gazed upon the familiar figure before him, a sense of fear welled up from the depths of Blackbeard's heart, creeping its way into his mind.

Perhaps it is because of too much fear.

His once steady footsteps faltered and retreated, eventually causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

He could never have imagined that he would encounter Whitebeard in Impel Down, let alone come face to face with him.

Thinking back to Whitebeard's attitude towards him, he couldn't help being scared.

He realized that the one who had killed his comrades would never be forgiven.

"Cap… Captain, what should we do now?"

Lafite was sweating profusely, feeling the coldness running down his body.

If it is someone else, he still has the courage to fight.

But this person is Whitebeard!

The world's strongest man, a king of old age who rivals the Pirate King Roger!

In the face of such a powerful opponent, he lacked the courage to fight back.

And, most importantly, Whitebeard was not alone; he was accompanied by a lot of skilled fighters.

Among them, he recognized more than one familiar face.

Confronting them with their current strength would be suicidal!

"run!"

Blackbeard snapped out of his shock and shouted: "Everyone, run!"

He is not a fool, He is an incredibly smart and cunning person.

From acquiring the Dark-Dark Fruit, becoming a Shichibukai, and rising to the rank of one of the Four Emperors, it is evident how cunning and clever Blackbeard truly is.

So he is aware and alert.

Knowing that he would be no match for Whitebeard, even with his Dark-Dark Fruit ability, it would only lead to his defeat.

His only hope was to run and escape, as that might offer a glimmer of hope.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

"Why is Father here? Wasn't he supposed to be at Marineford?"

Blackbeard's face was full of fear.

He couldn't understand why his plan had unexpected loopholes.

Of course, none of this matters anymore.

The important thing is to run as fast as possible!

Hurry up and escape from Impel Down, get far away from that man!

"Captain, wait for us!"

The other crew members were shocked, as they didn't expect Blackbeard to be so terrified, fleeing as soon as they laid eyes on Whitebeard.

But they quickly regained their composure and followed up.

"It's Teach!"

As the group hurriedly arrived and hastily fled, Whitebeard and the others snapped out of their daze.

Jozu anger boiled over as he saw Blackbeard, and he shouted.

"I can't believe I'd come across this traitor here!"

Vista's eyes glimmered with rage.

Why was Ace captured, and why did the Whitebeard Pirates engage in a war with the Marines?

All of this is because of Blackbeard!

At that moment, the culprit stood before him, fueling his intense desire for revenge.

"Blackbeard?"

Crocodile sneered with a cigar in his mouth, and at the same time a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes: "But his courage wavered, he was too scared and flee!"

"It's him!"

Luffy clenched his fists tightly on the side.

He knows Blackbeard!

But to his surprise, the person standing before him was none other than Blackbeard, the one who had caused Ace's arrest.

Anger surged within him, fueling his desire to pummel Blackbeard.

"Teach!"

Whitebeard's voice grew low as he locked his gaze on the retreating Blackbeard. With unwavering resolve, he raised his arm and delivered a powerful punch through the air: "Stay...right there!"

BOOM!

A loud noise!

The air shattered with a powerful shockwave.

The blazing ball of light smashed through the ground and surged towards Blackbeard, exploding with immense force.

Boom~

The fleeing Blackbeard group felt the ground shake beneath them, and suddenly, the earth gave way, causing them to plunge into a deep pit.

Thick smoke billowed, engulfing the area and obscuring the view.

After a while, a cough could be heard from within the smoke.

"Cough~"

"He really is not merciful at all!"

Blackbeard emerged from the smoke and dust, his once flustered face now twisted into a hideous expression.

After the devastating blow, he had come to a realization.

he can't escape at all!

The only path to survival now is by defeating Whitebeard!

With newfound determination, he strengthened his resolve and prepared to face Whitebeard head-on!

"This bastard!"

"You killed Ace, and now you expect mercy from Father!"

Jozu's face contorted with anger upon hearing the shouting.

"Teach, you must die today!"

Vista unsheathed his sword, emanating a fierce killing intent.

"You, Teach, are the only one unworthy of being called my son!"

Whitebeard slammed his Naginata on the ground with a thud, his voice filled with deep intensity: "You broke the one ironclad rule on my ship... you killed your own crewmate!!!"

"I'm going to rip off your pathetic head and give Thatch spirit in the sky the justice he deserves!"

With those words, the murderous intent swept across.

As the intense killing intent filled the air, the temperature plummeted, sending shivers down everyone's spine..

"Whitebeard is furious!"

Standing next to Whitebeard, Crocodile felt the mounting pressure and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"The strongest man in the world's anger emanates a terrifying killing intent, even without any action, it is shocking!"

Shiryu heart raced.

Under the overwhelming killing intent, his limbs felt stiff.

"Valorolo~"

"To make Whitebeard so angry, it seems that this guy really offended him!"

There was a gloating look in World's eyes.

Knowing Whitebeard's anger at his age, he understood how terrifying he could be.

So in his eyes, Blackbeard was already dead.

"Vengeance for Thatch!"

Vista brandished his sword, ready to strike.

Before he could make a move, Whitebeard intervened, blocking his path.

"Father?"

Vista looked at Whitebeard with suspicion.

"No one is permitted to attack!"

Whitebeard's voice grew stern and his gaze turned sharp as blades, fixated on Blackbeard: "Teach… confess to Thatch in hell!!!"

Stabbed!

The Naginata swing!

A powerful thrust charged with shockwaves transformed into a devastating strike.

With a single swing, the ground shattered into countless fragments, creating a thunderous roar.

In an instant, the forceful shock surged towards Blackbeard.

It seemed determined to tear the other party apart, piece by piece!
