Blackbeard Teach Joins the Battlefield

Along with the appearance of that enormous black figure.

Several figures also appeared in front of the Marine Headquarters building.

"Zehahahaha!"

"What's going on here?"

"Why are Kaido and BIG MOM here too?"

The man leading the group laughed with a sinister, cunning grin.

That was right!

It was Blackbeard Teach, the man who had hoped for this Summit War more than anyone else!

And following at his side were both the old and new members of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Aside from the original members who had followed Blackbeard Teach—fighting champion Jesus Burgess, Van Augur, Ghost Sheriff Lafitte, and Doc Q, the Reaper—

There were also vicious criminals from Impel Down, such as Shiryu of the Rain, Avalo Pizarro the Corrupt King, Catarina Devon the Crescent Moon Hunter, and Vasco Shot the Heavy Drinker.

The black shadow behind the Marine Headquarters building was none other than the Giant Battleship, Sanjuan Wolf!

That was right!

Blackbeard had completed the first step of his plan: using his status as a Shichibukai to enter Impel Down and successfully recruit these heinous criminals.

In truth, it was mainly thanks to BIG MOM breaking into the prison that Blackbeard Teach and his crew had been able to slip into Impel Down unnoticed.

Then Roya defeated Magellan, allowing Blackbeard and the others to arrive here without any effort at all.

And now that they had come to Marineford, it was naturally to complete the second step of his plan.

That was Whitebeard!

"Captain!"

"The situation is so chaotic now. BIG MOM and Kaido are both here, and that wasn't part of our plan. Are we still going through with it?"

Burgess looked at Blackbeard Teach and asked.

"Zehahahaha!"

"Of course the plan continues. BIG MOM and Kaido being here only makes our performance even more exciting."
