At Marineford:
"For what reason did we allow them to act as they please in Impel Down...?"
Sengoku glared at the Blackbeard Pirates gathered on the manga page who were unleashing their malevolent spirits, ready to execute their ultimate plan and reveal their intentions here and now.
Specifically, Sengoku was looking at Marshal D. Teach and Shiryu, who were currently responsible for the grand prison under the jurisdiction of the government and marines.
These two were the prison warden and his deputy, the head guard...!!
"For heaven's sake... I don't feel good about them..."
"Momonga... immediately contact Impel Down, I want to know the current situation there... now!"
Sengoku shouted.
Momonga nodded and quickly stood up, hastily searching for a Den Den Mushi to communicate with Impel Down, and began the usual routine call.
But now it seemed urgent... Momonga had never seen the fleet admiral this worried before.
…
"Calm down, Sengoku... as you know, Teach and his crew aren't as strong now as they are in the manga... what can they do even if they rebel?"
Zephyr spoke with conviction.
"Trusting pirates and employing them to guard Impel Down... have the five elders gone senile? It's obvious a pirate would turn traitor no matter what."
"Just give me the orders, fleet admiral, and I'll dig into his gut with my magma's hand as my counterpart did to Ace in the manga."
Akainu suggested with a violent expression.
"I'm the fastest, I can reach there in a flash-"
Before Kizaru could finish his words, they all heard Momonga's anxious voice.
"Fleet Admiral... they say... they say that Impel Down is collapsing...!!"
Pa!!
Sengoku slapped his desk and stood up, "What did you say!?"
"Chaos is rampant, what you sensed was right, Fleet Admiral, the guard who answered my call was screaming in the end, probably crushed under the debris!"
Momonga said with a trembling expression.
"What did they do to Impel Down?... Borsalino, hurry! Go! Take full control of the situation before we get there."
"Roger!"
"I'll contact the five elders," Sengoku said.
For a moment, everyone forgot about the One Piece manga due to the urgent events... the chaos at Impel Down had just begun.
…

Chapter's Events:
—————————
"If the government saw me as an enemy while I was a pirate, I wouldn't have been able to open the gates and infiltrate Impel Down." Teach began to talk about his goal of joining the Shichibukai in the first place.
"The only reason I sought the Shichibukai title was for this!!"
"I don't need it anymore!!!"
"You were planning on freeing them all along!!?" Sengoku wanted final confirmation.
"Zehahahaha! Yes, everything was about this from the start!! Now you understand!" With that, Blackbeard confirmed everything.
"…!!!" Sengoku gritted his teeth in hatred, after all, he had been deceived by a vile pirate.
"TEACH!!!" Whitebeard's terrifying voice came at that moment.
"Captain, look out!!"
Blackbeard's expression darkened upon hearing his father's dreadful voice.
Then the world shook as a terrifying earthquake hit the place they were standing, destroying the remaining Marineford's building.
"Owah!!!"
"You're not holding back!! I guess not!!" Teach said with a vile expression.
"I won't call you my son anymore, Teach!!"
"You killed one of your comrades… Breaking the only ironclad rule on my ship!" Whitebeard spoke about Teach's sin that deserved death.
"By killing this idiot, fourth squad commander Sacchi can rest in peace!!!"
"Zehahahaha! That's just what I want!!!"
"Black hole!!!" Darkness spread from Teach's body, reaching Whitebeard's feet.
"Sacchi is dead… and so is Ace, old man!!"
"I truly respected you… admired you!! But you grew old!!"
"So old that you couldn't save one of your men!!!"
"Even though I let him live at Banaro Island!!!" The mockery towards Whitebeard was clear in his voice at that moment.
"That bastard!!" Vista was provoked by these words.
"What's this black stuff!?" The marine soldiers were astonished by the pitch-black darkness at their feet.
"…" Whitebeard ignored his rebellious son's words and wanted to use force to crush him instead.
"Ohoho, there's no use!! All powers are useless against me!!!"
"Black Whirlpool!!!" A black vortex appeared from Teach's hand, canceling the earthquake power entirely.
"Zehahaha, how's that!? You can't make any more earthquakes…" Teach mocked, laughing.
"!!! Ohh… Gowaaah!!!" But before he realized it, he screamed in intense pain when he was harshly stabbed by Whitebeard's naginata.

Back at the art store in Sphinx:
Rob had a long smile on his face as he watched Whitebeard catching up on the events of the battle between him and his fallen son.
"This arrogance is due to the power of that fruit, isn't it?"
Whitebeard wondered.
Of course, his question was directed at Rob.
"Heh… that's right, this power that nullifies most devil fruit powers is indeed an interesting power, its owner may drown in delusions of grandeur."
Rob replied calmly.
"But extreme arrogance is a fatal weakness... even an old man on the verge of death can exploit it well, isn't that right? Gurararara!!"
"Hahaha! That's right... look how he's in pain... the double pain must be a hefty price to pay for such power."
Rob laughed as he said that.
"What a villain... what a schemer... what a bastard... if I had read this chapter back then, I would have killed him in his cell instead of letting him escape..."
Marco felt hatred and sorrow for not killing Teach when he had the chance.
"He's a first-rate antagonist, not easy to kill as you know,"
Rob said, smiling.
"There are those who wish to keep him alive for me perhaps..."
he added afterward.
"Hmm? The World Government, isn't it? I heard they recruited him as the warden of Impel Down... and gave him that devil fruit too."
Whitebeard said.
"That's right... but they will regret it very soon... just wait for their news, you'll see how funny it is."
…
"Anyway... this kid will die by my hand... I won't let him continue living, he reminds me of Rocks, he'll reach those heights with such an evil heart."
"Really? Then I'll leave this matter for you to handle afterward."
Hearing that from Whitebeard, Rob nodded.
After all, what appeared in the manga and what will appear afterward is enough to make many monsters of this era hunt both Blackbeard and Akainu ruthlessly until they send them to the other world.
Rob won't need to do anything but focus on drawing more chapters.
Well, as long as that Imu stays in her castle and refuses to come out, Rob won't do anything but focus on entertaining the world with his manga and anime.
…
Baterilla:
Inside the art store, Shanks stared with hateful eyes at Blackbeard who was boasting about the power of darkness.
He remembered what Captain Roger said after they returned from Laugh Tale and learned all the secrets of this world.
'There is one among those with the letter D in their name…'
'It is… the most sinister.'
"So, it is you after all…"
