Up until that point, Coby had been having a hard time. In another shining example of divergent plots weaving seamlessly together. Would they make it in time? Meanwhile, Coby… Law roared the order to “SUBMERGE!” But Akainu had caught up, and Kizaru was charging up another lazor. See, he is capable of heroic bravery! He just needs to be running in the opposite direction while doing it. Buggy held on and got them to Trafalgar Law. I mean, he didn’t drop them and scarper when Akainu was hell-bent in pursuit, or when Kizaru sniped. I like how Buggy wasn’t keen to hand over Luffy and Jimbei to a stranger, at first. “Doctors don’t carry swords! What, do you visit your patients by sub?” It was only a little detail but I guess it shows he does care about what happens to Luffy and Jimbei. I get that Luffy is a huge threat by virtue of being Dragon’s son, but right now, someone else is sinking Marineford into the sea. I hope they get their knuckles rapped for it later because both are motivated by petty vengeance rather than the greater good. While all this is happening, Akainu and Kizaru are chasing after an unconscious Luffy and Jimbei instead of defending Marineford against Blackbeard, who is clearly their biggest threat right now. Likely, they’ll be left behind and all the rich assholes will cram themselves into all the boats. (Still, I feel sorry for all the slaves and poor workers who’ll get caught up. You wanted Ace and Whitebeard to die, you got it! Now live with the consequences.

Now all the posh, rich idiots on that island are going to get it. The next thing, the action cut to Sabaody, where a tsunami alert was issued. Whitebeard is dead and your time ended with him, old men! I’m gonna destroy and devour everything!” Teach’s response was pretty much, “Cry about it.

“Whitebeard would be horrified to know this punk is using his power,” he said to Garp. No wonder Sengoku sweatdropped because he knew what was coming. With one careless gesture, he almost destroyed everything. The battlefield split, huge fissures appeared, the sea and sky tilted. I guess that explains how Teach overstretched and almost took out everything, including the ground the Blackbeards stood on. Now he did admit later to Catalina Devon that he can’t control the power yet. In response, Teach grabbed the air and raked his nails through it. He reminded the Blackbeard whippersnappers that he also had a duty to defend Marineford. Teach did give credit where it was due. “As expected of the one who leads the Marines!” he said, acknowledging Sengoku’s power. “But it’s not enough to defend this island!” At which point, Teach fired up the Tremor Fruit and clashed with Sengoku.Įver enthusiastic and ready for a scrap, Jesus Burgess tried to jump in to give Teach a hand and was smacked down by Garp. In this case, it was Sengoku’s golden fist in his face. As much as I like my villains, I also enjoy watching them catch a hefty dose of Karma. Teach can definitely take a beating, which is great. Going toe-to-toe with Sengoku is no mean feat (I’m guessing). How naive I was to think, hey, it’s the end of the arc, should be winding down quietly any moment now.Īt least we got some fine, narrative wine, eh? Teach Literally Tearing It Up It has taken me a while to realise, but until Luffy is safe and entirely out of harm’s way, Oda is obviously going to keep twisting that plot like a corkscrew. 488: “The Desperate Scream! Courageous Moments That Will Change The Future!”
