Teach looked up at Lott with a faint smile on his face. "Zehahaha, a name is nothing more than a label."
But when Luffy heard the name Lott called him, anger instantly surged within him.
"What! You're Blackbeard Teach??"
Luffy took a close look at Teach and confirmed that he was the Blackbeard from the newspaper.
This was the Blackbeard who had defeated Ace and put him in this predicament.

He could even use Ryuo Haki.
