A Great Rout! Teach's Counterattack!

Seeing the fissure in the ground, Momonga suddenly understood.

No wonder no one, Ron included, had found any trace of Blackbeard. He had never been on the surface to begin with!

After all, they were not merely digging holes; they had to construct buildings.

If the soil had been loose, excavation would have been easy, but it would also have brought enormous safety risks. The losses would outweigh the gains.

Therefore, although Marineford was not formed from a single gigantic rock like Dressrosa, it was still practically half a home field for a Stone-Stone Fruit user.
