Chapter's Events:
—————————
"I already said I wouldn't let him escape. Won't you idiots just give up already?" Admiral Akainu appeared in front of Jimbei, blood dripping from his wounds. It was clear that the injuries he sustained from Whitebeard's previous rampage were significant.
"Akainu!!! You weren't down!!?" Fossa shouted in shock at this outcome.
"He melted through the ground and came around us!!!"
…
"Give me Dragon's son!!"
"Jimbei!" Intense magma emanated from Akainu's body, making him look like a volcano on the verge of eruption.
"I can't do that. I've decided. I'll protect this man, even if it costs me my life." Jimbei truly seemed determined to carry out his words.
"Well then… I won't ask again!!!" Akainu tightened his magma fist, ready to attack.
"Protect Ace's brother!!! Ace's family is our family too!!!" The Whitebeard Pirates, who had been retreating earlier, returned to confront Akainu and protect Luffy.
"Move it, Jimbei!!!"
"You won't take the Strawhat Boy!!!" At that moment, Ivankov arrived and signaled Jimbei to step aside, then locked eyes with Akainu.
"Hell Wink!!!" A devastating explosion occurred as a result of Ivankov's attack.
•———•———•———•———•
"Does he want to kill my son that badly?"
In the Sorbet Kingdom, Dragon had a hateful expression on his face.
The more he read from this arc, the deeper his hatred grew towards the arrogant Sakazuki.
After all, what Sakazuki did in this arc was way over the line… He killed Ace! He severely injured Whitebeard and relentlessly chased after Luffy, trying to kill him as well.
"Where was my old counterpart in all this…?"
Garp gritted his teeth in anger too… Akainu had a clear intent to kill… he wouldn't hesitate to do the same to Luffy as he did to Ace.
"He doesn't even call him by his title, he just calls him Dragon's son… it means he wants revenge on you."
Garp looked at Dragon, saying this.
"That's obvious…" Dragon nodded.
"Well, it seems Jimbei and the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates won't let him do as he pleases… especially Jimbei, that man has a strong heroic spirit," added Dragon.
"Oh! Ivankov finally appeared… for a moment I thought he ran away." Crocodile scoffed.
"Do you think my counterpart would run away without ensuring Luffy's safety? That's impossible."
Ivankov smiled without getting angry.
"Look at the strength of my Hell Wink! Even Akainu has to avoid a direct hit or he'd be done for!! It's impossible for my counterpart to let Luffy fall into the hands of that scoundrel Akainu!"
...
"Well, it seems the unexpected incident was caused by Teach-"
In the next manga scene, Dragon's eyes widened, and he was speechless.
The same reaction happened to Garp and the others.
"Impossible… what is happening?"
Kuma was astonished by the next scene's events.
"How can this be possible…?"
Garp had the same reaction as the characters in the manga at this moment.
Absolute disbelief.
…
Sphinx Island:
Back at this location, Whitebeard had been deep in thought since he saw the outcome for his counterpart in the manga.
"It seems the scum Blackbeard has come out..."
His eyes widened when they fell on a particular scene, and the words got stuck in his throat.
"Huh! What is happening-" Marco had the same reaction.
"This is impossible-" Fossa stepped back in shock.
"The power of my father… how-?" Vista was also extremely shocked.
"What the- Cough!" Vista almost choked on the sake he was drinking when he saw what Teach did in the manga.
Similar scenes occurred with the rest of Whitebeard's sons and his subordinate crews, significantly affecting even ordinary readers on Sphinx Island.
While Rob remained extremely calm because he had anticipated such a scene happening around him… and knew it was happening all over the world now.
After all, it was something that defied common sense, something that contradicted the absolute law of the world… a unique event.
The only person confirmed to not follow common sense was Rob himself, but now the manga showed there was another person who could be like Rob.
Whitebeard's gaze fell on Rob and he asked, "How did he do this? How did he take my power?"
"How can he unleash two Devil Fruit powers without his body exploding?"
"Didn't he live with you on the ship long enough for you to notice his abnormality?" Rob asked.
"Well, it's clear he has something special in his body, but he didn't live with me long enough to notice that… he was good at hiding his true nature," Whitebeard replied.
Then his focus returned to the strange chapter's events.
…
•———•———•———•———•
"Blackbeard's come out!!!"
"What did he do!?"
"Whitebeard looks the same!!"
"And Blackbeard doesn't look any different…"
…
"Marines… let me show you my powers, now that it's clear we'll be enemies again… Zehahaha…" Saying that, Teach laughed before shouting; "Black Hole!!!"
He submerged the marine soldiers with his dark powers.
"Uh!!! What!!?"
"This is the power of my Yami Yami Fruit!!!" he exclaimed.
"Uwaaah!!" All the marine soldiers lost their balance in the dark swamp and started sinking slowly.
This was the power they knew well.
But it seemed Blackbeard wasn't done showing off yet.
"… And this…" In Whitebeard's style, a white vortex appeared on his left hand, which he was forming into a fist.
"Eh…?"
"That stance…" Marco felt scared just thinking about what would happen next.
The moment Teach struck the air beside him, it cracked like a broken mirror, causing a massive earthquake that extended to the remains of Marineford and turned it into ruins.
"Uwaaaaah!!"
"Uwaah!!"
"…!!"
"Eh…?" The screams of the miserable marine soldiers rose again.
…
"This is the power of my Gura Gura Fruit!! Zehahaha!" Blackbeard said, laughing maniacally.
•———•———•———•———•
At that moment, the world was silent… all manga readers were so shocked that they remained silent for a few minutes.
When the silence broke, readers began to wonder how Blackbeard performed such a feat… something they had always thought was impossible!
Only one person, Rob, had been able to use more than one Devil Fruit power.
But now, the One Piece manga revealed there was another person capable of this… and that person was already present in the current timeline.
…
On a small, isolated island in the middle of the Calm Belt, the warship that Teach and his crew had previously taken from Impel Down stopped.
"Zehahaha!! It actually happened just as I had always imagined."
"My dream became reality in the manga… I wouldn't regret it even if I died now! Zehahaha!!"
"Captain… how did you do this?! I mean, how did your counterpart do such a miraculous thing!"
"Stealing the Devil Fruit power from Whitebeard's dead body without the fruit needing to regenerate in another random fruit…"
"And more importantly, your counterpart already has the power of the darkness fruit… he can't eat another Devil Fruit!"
"This is unbelievable… a miracle!"
Avalo Pizarro, Catarina Devon, Shiryu, Vasco Shot, and Sanjuan Wolf were all stunned by this scene in the manga.
"Can you really do this? The manga wasn't lying, right?"
Shiryu asked incredulously.
"Zehahahaha!! That's the strange thing about this manga!"
"That's the surreal and unbelievable thing about One Piece manga!"
"That's what made me question the reality of this world! Again and again! Zehahaha!!"
"This manga doesn't lie! Everything it says is true!"
Hearing Teach's confirmation, his followers' eyes widened in shock more and more.
