Creating Elf Jinchuriki in Konoha, Causing Chaos

Sengoku couldn't do that.

Because Garp was his old friend.

And Ace's grandfather as well.

If he personally killed Ace.

Then the friendship between him and Garp would be over.

He had fought Blackbeard once before.

He had clearly realized that he wasn't his opponent.

So why had he provoked him again after such a
