Caught unaware by the torpedoes snaking under the surface of the ocean, the boat he was on broke apart from the middle like a repeat telecast of 'Titanic', and he was flung into the air by the force of the explosion underneath the deck.
Blackbeard found himself flying through the air, like a kite with a broken string. He didn't come back to himself until he was hit in the face with a torrent of water with enough force to knock out a bull. It jolted all his senses awake like an irritating and loud bell close to the ears.
Even though he was aware of all that transpired after he tried to escape the island, his mind was unable to come out of shock. His feet kept trying to find solid wood underneath them but found only formless liquid propelling him away from the site of the explosion like driftwood with no destination in sight.
