"Eh!?"
"Hey… What… What's that!?"
"There's something next to headquarters!!!"
Suddenly, the attention of the Marine soldiers was drawn to a huge figure hiding behind the ruins of the Marineford building.
"Ah!"
"They spotted me." The giant said mockingly.
"Eh!? He's… It can't be!!" Someone seemed to recognize him.
"That's not all! Who's that over by the execution platform!?" A Marine soldier pointed to a group of people who had suddenly appeared on the platform's surface.
"Oohh… They finally noticed…"
"…!!! You're…!!! How did you get here!!?" Sengoku was shocked by the appearance of this person and his companions and then angered when he remembered what the person had done.
"Fufufufufu!!! This is awesome!"
"You really did something amazing!!" It was unclear whether Doflamingo was praising the person or mocking him.
"You…" Whitebeard's eyes darkened upon seeing the arrival of the traitorous son.
"The Blackbeard Pirates!!?"
On the platform, the pirates that Blackbeard had freed from level six of Impel Down gathered with the rest of his original crew.
"Zehahahahaha!!!" Blackbeard's laugh was more sinister than ever.
"It's been too long!!! It's good to see you at death's door, old man!!!" Blackbeard said arrogantly, revealing his true face.
"Teach!!!" Whitebeard growled with hatred.

Impel Down:
In real-time, Impel Down was very quiet, having been tightly reorganized for a month, it had regained its normal state.
Although the number of prisoners flowing in had become less and less than ever before, it still operated efficiently as usual, especially after correcting the errors revealed in the manga like secret passages and hidden floors.
Meanwhile, Marshal D. Teach, the current warden of the prison, adjusted his sitting position when he read this chapter.
"Zehahahaha! Finally here! After all this waiting, the real fun begins!"
"I didn't expect Ace's death… The old man reaching death's door was the only expected thing… But, what a welcome event, Zehahahaha!"
"It will make Whitebeard even angrier and more prone to mistakes."
"Oh… What a magnificent presence, we really do look great."
Shiryu adjusted his cigar while saying this with an excited smile.
"Zehahaha! Can you predict what will happen next, Shiryu?" Teach laughed and asked Shiryu.
"Your grand plan is about to succeed… isn't it?" Shiryu replied with a wicked smile.
"Zehahahaha! I'm excited to see every detail of it! I don't want to miss a single shot!!"
"Aren't you afraid that this will drive Whitebeard mad and make him come after you now?"
"Zehahaha! What do you think about pushing the grand plan forward and starting it now?" Teach suggested.
"Are you kidding me? We are still too weak at the moment, while Whitebeard is at his peak, one blow from him is enough to obliterate us all, it's better to find a suitable place to hide." Shiryu said mockingly.
"Isn't Impel Down the best place to hide and train after all?"
"Well, actually, we might also need to escape from here because my biggest secret is about to be revealed… Young Whitebeard will be the least of our worries at that time."
The scenes in the next chapter were flashing before Teach's eyes at a rapid pace, but his face was becoming stern and sweaty with each additional scene.
His biggest secret, or at least what he could do with it, would soon be revealed at the end of this arc for sure! This was the final moment in his plan that had started since he joined the Whitebeard Pirates back then.
When he is mercilessly revealed by Rob, he will be relentlessly hunted by the World Government led by the mysterious Imu who gave him the Dark Fruit, not only that but even the Hunter Organization will not hesitate to hunt him down, if Rob comes searching for him well it will be the end for him.
"Shiryu… Are they ready?"
Teach looked at Shiryu and asked seriously this time.
"After reading the last chapters of the manga, they are fully prepared."
"Sanjuan Wolf, Avalo Pizarro, Vasco Shot, and Catarina Devon too, all agreed to join."
"Alright, get ready, we will be leaving soon, I don't want to stay here and wait for the Five Elders to catch me."
…
On level four of Impel Down, Magellan was reading the latest chapters with intense frustration.
"That evil Blackbeard… how the hell do they give him the chance to lead Impel Down?"
"Oh, I forgot… The World Government loves dealing with villains because it's evil too."
Magellan said sarcastically.
"Ahh! W-what are you saying, honorable guardian! This is a desecration of your superiors! You better step down and let me become the guardian instead- I mean you better take back those words before someone hears you!!"
"…" Magellan gave a cold stare to Hannyabal, making the latter freeze.
"Ah! I'm sorry! I was just joking…"
…
Back to Sphinx Island where the Whitebeard Pirates are gathered.
"What is he planning to do?"
"Teach…"
Whitebeard's eyes were still red from being affected by Ace's death, but the moment he saw the biggest traitor among his sons who was the cause of everything that happened, an endless anger ignited in his heart.
Just like what happened with his counterpart in the manga who was already at death's door.
"Becoming a Shichibukai for this moment and being able to get here… means it's for a purpose… what does he want to do? Does he wish to gain the honor of killing Whitebeard and take his place among the Four Emperors?"
At that moment these words came with the footsteps of a person, the Whitebeard Pirates turned to see the person who said that, only to be surprised by everyone.
"Rob? I didn't expect you to come, my friend."
Whitebeard wiped away his tears paths and regained his smile at this moment.
Rob also smiled and extended his hand to shake this kind friend's hand.
Whitebeard happily accepted his handshake but before removing his hand he said, "What do you mean by him aspiring to kill my counterpart and become the new Emperor instead of me? Isn't it a huge risk to come to a place where Garp and Sengoku and three Admirals and an Emperor are at death's door for small gains like the honor of killing a man already at death's door?"
"Do you consider the 'act of killing you' a small gain, Whitebeard?" Rob asked with a smile.
"Ah! Of course not! That's a great feat… well, maybe you're right…" Whitebeard felt like he insulted himself.
"But maybe you're right, let's read the manga together and discover Blackbeard's true purpose for taking all these risks to appear here…" Rob said with a smile, catching the attention of all Whitebeard's sons.
"Everyone in the world now wants to know the true purpose of the Blackbeard Pirates…"
"It might be deeper than you all think…"
"Well, you being the author would know better than all of us," said Whitebeard.
