Sengoku was furious. Someone had torn the roof off the base. Who could possibly put up with that?

Blackbeard, of course, offered no explanation. He only replied in a fury.
Seeing this, everyone assumed Whitebeard must have done something to anger Blackbeard.
Whitebeard was just as confused. He had given his sons everything, and he didn't
