"Bastard, Where have you sent Perona?" Moria grumbled, despite his disapproval of her cowardice, she was still a member of his crew.

Upon seeing Kuma asking her what destination she preferred and later disappearing with a touch, Moria deduced that it must be one of Kuma's abilities.

"Is that it then? He came just to inform me about a new Shichibukai?" Moria thought to himself.

After reading the chapter in which he encountered Bartholomew Kuma, Moria was left feeling slightly bewildered.

"Blackbeard, Teach... becoming a Shichibukai in the manga? Unbelievable! What about his fight with Ace?"

Contrary to Moria in the manga who was unaware of Blackbeard, Moria in reality was well-acquainted with the notorious pirate.

In this day and age, who is unaware of Blackbeard? He was depicted as an evil character in the manga, despised by all who wished to see him dismembered.

However, prior to his battle with Ace, he was held in high regard due to his famous quote, "People's dreams are endless."

"Did Ace truly lose?" Moria wondered.

"One Piece" Events:

—————————

"After the imprisonment of Shichibukai Crocodile... His successor was already decided."

After meeting with Moria, Kuma got to the heart of the matter.

Moria's response:

"Hehehehe, so you're here to tell me who's the next one up? So who is it anyway? There are so freaking many pirates anyways..."

Kuma responded simply:

"The successor's name is: Marshall D. Teach. Also known as 'Blackbeard'."

"Right now the news is already flogging the world. Only your fogged-up land still hasn't received the news."

Moria expressed his ignorance of the identity of the new Shichibukai:

"Blackbeard? Never heard of him. What is his bounty?"

Kuma answered:

"He's the one who escaped from Whitebeard. When he joined, he demonstrated his power... His bounty is 0..."

"I see, so it's 'unknown' right? The world government is really accommodating... Kishishishi."

...

"What?! He's here because he's afraid of another Shichibukai falling at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates?!", Moria exclaimed with a mixture of disbelief and anger, his expression mirroring that of his manga counterpart.

"Bastard! Does he really think I'm just like that Crocodile?!", Moria added, his teeth tightly clenched in fury.

"Dammit, Bartholomew Kuma!", Moria cursed, his wrath directed at Kuma.

But then, Moria's expression changed as his eyes lit up with excitement upon discovering that he could control the massive Oars from within the control room located in its belly. "Oh?! I can fight using Oars that way too?! Terrific!", Moria exclaimed with newfound enthusiasm, eager to claim the body of Oars for himself.

...

Sorbet Kingdom:

"If you go on a trip, where would you like to go?... Bft... Hahahaha! What a great line you use, dad."

Little Bonney was one of the most knowledgeable about her father's abilities, but even so, she found his question to others before sending them where they wanted very funny.

"..." Kuma responded with a shrug, absorbed in the manga in front of him.

...

"N-fufufu~ It looks like they filled in for your place quickly, Croco-boy~," Ivancov teased.

"Let me guess... you've been taken to Impel Down... HAHAHA!"

"...!!?" The young Crocodile's forehead veins bulged as he was taken aback by the mockery.

"Do you want to lose water inside your body after losing your manhood?"

"Who said I lost my manhood, Croco-boy~," he retorted.

...

"I don't know what Moria means by saying that you are the most obedient Shichibukai to the World Government orders... are you hiding something from us, Kuma?" Dragon asked with suspicion.

At the mention of the World Government, Kuma's mood soured. However, he quickly regained his composure and pushed aside the negative memories associated with that organization.

"Blackbeard, Marshal D. Teach... Hasn't this guy been in a grinding fight with Luffy's brother, Ace...?"

"Did Ace lose the battle?" Kuma's refusal to provide an explanation prompted Dragon to switch the topic to another pressing matter.

…

In the vicinity of Oro Jackson:

"Has Ace lost the battle?" Roger queried as he perused the recent news regarding Blackbeard's sudden appointment as a Shichibukai.

"Could it be that he has surrendered our son to the World Government in exchange for the Shichibukai position, in order to shield himself from the wrath of Whitebeard?" Rouge's voice wavered as she attempted to conceal her increasing apprehension.

"That's very possible," Roger concurred, "at this point, anything is possible."

"However, I don't believe he would go as far as to surrender our son just for the sake of protection from Newgate."

"Maybe... perhaps, the downfall of the last giant of the old generation will be at the hands of their own offspring."

"The words spoken by the redhead earlier will not be in vain, otherwise, how will the story unfold?"

…

In the New World, on Manga Island:

"Teach, once again..."

"It appears that Ace has suffered defeat in battle..."

"Sigh~ This outcome was predictable," Whitebeard sighed in disappointment as he finished reading the latest chapter of the manga.

"Oyaji, do you believe that Teach in the manga is plotting to utilize the government's forces against us?" Marco queried.

"It's hard to say... But what of Teach himself? Don't tell me he has met his end?"

"No, Oyaji. I made sure to heal his injuries earlier today too. He has fully recovered, but is it worth it?"

"For now, it seems that his death is not necessary."

...

Within the walls of Moby Dick prison:

"Zehahaha~"

Teach let out a chilling laugh, leaving it unclear whether his madness had taken hold during his imprisonment or if it was due to the events unfolding in the manga he held in his hands.

"Just wait, everyone... I will make all of you pay dearly for this debt." With those words, the Seastone handcuffs that had restrained him for over a month shattered as if they were mere iron chains exposed to the scorching desert sun.

Teach gazed upon his freed hands and legs with an evil grin, before rising to his feet and making his way out of the cell.
