Whitebeard's left arm swung out.
A fierce Tremor-Tremor Punch slammed into Teach's head, which seemed ready to explode under the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
"Move already!" Teach shouted, practically begging his crew. Jesus Burgess was the first to act, with Lafitte close behind. The other crew members hurried forward as well.
The group descended into a chaotic melee. Yuu watched, but did not make a move.
Marco flew over immediately.
Jozu, Vista, and the others also rushed over, intending to help Whitebeard.
Blackbeard's Terror
With a loud explosion, everyone finally separated. Teach coughed painfully.
Although he possessed the Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit and would not truly die, the physical damage he suffered was doubled.
Whitebeard's attack just now had genuinely been meant to kill him. The Navy was stunned.
They did not intervene. Seeing Whitebeard fighting the Blackbeard Pirates, they could not help feeling a little pleased at their misfortune. For now, they merely watched.
As long as nothing major happened, Sengoku and the others had no intention of acting.
It would be best if the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates wiped each other out.
That was the outcome the Navy Government most wanted to see.
Even after the Summit War has ended... the old man is still this powerful!
Teach truly had not expected Whitebeard to retain such immense strength.
This was different from what he had imagined.
He had originally come to reap the benefits as a bystander.
But now, he realized that those benefits were beyond his reach.
"Retreat! Retreat! Fall back now!"
After Blackbeard gave the order, he quickly withdrew. His subordinates ran even faster than he did. "Don't let them get away!"
Ace wanted to give chase, but Whitebeard stopped him. Though Whitebeard appeared fine, he had actually expended a tremendous amount of strength
