Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

He has many scars on his chest, all left by legendary figures.

These scars are the glory of this man who was a pirate!

He is Edward Newgate, the user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, who possesses the power to destroy the world!

Whitebeard first glanced at Ace on the execution platform, then looked at Fleet Admiral Sengoku and grinned:

"It's been decades, Warring States period."

"My dear son, are you doing well over there?"

Facing 100,000 marines, the most powerful force on the sea, Whitebeard remained calm and composed.

This kind of aura of a maritime emperor inspires awe from the bottom of one's heart.

……

……

At the same moment that the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates began their formal confrontation.

Blackbeard, who had secretly slipped away from Marineford, was excitedly heading towards Impel Down.

Blackbeard couldn't help but be excited.

His decades-long plan, which he had been devising on Whitebeard's ship, was finally about to be put into action.

Kill Thatch to steal the Dark-Dark Fruit, find powerful allies, capture a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, and exchange a position with the Navy for a Shichibukai position.

He then tried his best to provoke a war between the Navy and Whitebeard, and used his status as a Shichibukai to infiltrate Impel Down and subdue the terrifying guys in the sixth level of Infinite Hell!

Finally, he returned to the battlefield and used the special ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit to steal Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

This was Blackbeard's comprehensive plan, which he had been scheming for decades.

Blackbeard felt that God was on his side, and his plan was progressing too smoothly.

Blackbeard hadn't expected that former captain Portgas D. Ace would be foolish enough to come looking for him all by himself.

Ace was Whitebeard's most favored son, and the biological son of the Pirate King Roger.

With such a background, it was clear that the Whitebeard Pirates would engage in a major war with the Marines without Blackbeard even needing to instigate it. (bjcj)

And that is indeed the case.

The scale of the war was far greater than Blackbeard had planned; it was truly epic.

This is just perfect!

Blackbeard was laughing so hard his belly was split open.

If the Whitebeard Pirates are about to engage in a major battle with the Navy at Marineford, the Navy will certainly not have the resources to deal with Impel Down anymore.

Given Whitebeard's terrible health, it's highly likely he'll die.

Hahaha!

In this way, invading Impel Down would be a piece of cake, and seizing Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power would also be a piece of cake!

Is there anything more perfect in the world?

So, Blackbeard was overjoyed and incredibly excited.

So much so that he kept grinning the whole way to Impel Down, not even worried about his face getting cramped.

The sea journey from Marineford to Impel Down was not smooth sailing.

There were swirling ocean currents and the Gates of Justice blocking the way.

This is why Blackbeard wanted to become a Shichibukai.

Blackbeard lied, claiming he was on orders from the World Government to go to Impel Down, thus opening the Gates of Justice.

When the marine guarding the gates of justice asked Blackbeard for orders from the government, Blackbeard killed him with a flick of his wrist.

Blackbeard laughed wildly:

"What government's order? What right does the world government have to order me around!"

"Whitebeard's era is about to end, the future belongs to Blackbeard! You understand, Zephyr!"

With immense joy, Blackbeard arrived at Impel Down without any obstacles.

then.

The smile on his face froze.

His eyes bulged out like marbles.

"Huh?? What the hell happened?! How did Impel Down become like this?!"

Blackbeard was completely dumbfounded.

Impel Down, once known as an impregnable fortress, is now a scene of devastation, reduced to ruins.

The ruins were littered with the corpses of countless prison guards and criminals, their blood staining the surrounding sea red.

Snapped!

Blackbeard slapped himself.

Am I dreaming?

"It hurts so much!"

Blackbeard, who felt twice the pain, immediately cried out in agony.

But his heart ached more than his face.

What I'm seeing isn't a dream, it's reality!

Someone beat Blackbeard to it and invaded Impel Down!

Damn it, which bastard is it? Could it be that he's plotting to capture the prisoners in Impel Down just like me?!

Blackbeard's mood plummeted from heaven to hell in an instant.

The muscles in his face twitched intermittently.

Champion Bages comforted him:

"Captain, what does it matter if someone beats us to it? Just kill him too!"

Blackbeard's mood remained extremely bad.

He could vaguely sense the terrifying battle fluctuations erupting in the lower levels of Impel Down.

Furthermore, I could faintly sense a familiar and powerful aura.

Blackbeard swallowed hard and prayed silently:

It absolutely must not be that man, it absolutely must not be that man!

Then he buried his head and rushed down to the lower levels of the city.

We quickly passed through the second and third floors and arrived at the fourth floor.

Upon seeing the figure of a man with his hands in his pockets, looking bored, at the entrance to the fourth floor, Blackbeard immediately put on a look that looked like he was about to cry.

Damn, it really is you, Five Emperors Luo Xing!

The same thing happened in Alabasta. I was the one who started it all, so why the hell do you keep messing things up for me?!

"Hey, isn't this Little Black Boy?"

Luo Xing, who was blocking the entrance, seemed to only then notice Blackbeard's appearance, and exclaimed in surprise, revealing a mouthful of white teeth:

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, what a coincidence!"

170. Shiryu of the Rain sought refuge with Blackbeard, who ultimately benefited Luo Xing!

Blackbeard felt an urge to curse.

How old are you anyway, calling me "Little Black Kid"?

Also, I don't want to have any connection with you at all, and I don't want to run into you again!

Although annoyed, in terms of current worldwide fame, status, and bounty, the older Blackbeard is far inferior to Luo Xing.

In the world of One Piece, strength reigns supreme.

Luo Xing could easily underestimate Blackbeard without any problem.

Blackbeard knew this too.

The fact that he could endure for decades on Whitebeard's ship shows that he was an extremely patient person.

Therefore,

Blackbeard forced down his anger and hatred, forcing a strained smile as he said:

"Mr. Five Emperors Luo Xing, it's quite a coincidence that you've also come to Impel Down. I thought you had already returned to the New World after causing a ruckus in Sabaody."

Luo Xing could easily see that Blackbeard was all smiles on the surface but secretly plotting something.

Luo Xing made no attempt to hide it, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his lips:

"The Marineford War between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wouldn't it be a waste not to put on a spectacular show for the world at this moment?"
