As he spoke, Teach directed the remaining few people to close in on Mu Chen. "Come closer. I'm going to kill Whitebeard right now!"
The moment his words fell, Catarina, Dai Peng, and Avalo Pizarro stepped directly in front of Mu Chen.
"Hmph, so this is Admiral Blood Eyes. Long time no see. In your current state, you probably do not have much strength left, do you? I won't let you pass and ruin the captain's plans."

"Don't tell me you've been pretending to be injured all this time?"
"Huh?"
"Are you saying you were never injured at all, and you did all this just to wait
