Chương 16: Blackbeard
"Wow... that was amazing!"
Luffy stammered as he looked at the unconscious Magellan, completely shocked.
Just yesterday, he had a brief encounter with Magellan and was quickly defeated by him.
But now, this formidable foe had been defeated by Whitebeard with ease. It was a clear demonstration of Whitebeard's overwhelming strength, and Luffy couldn't help but feel a newfound respect for the man known as the world's strongest.
"Of course!"
Ivankov responded with a knowing smile. "Whitebeard is a legend from the old era. While Magellan is strong, he's still a step below Whitebeard."
"Pops claims to be the strongest in the world, how could Magellan be his match!"
Joz and Bista chimed in, their pride in their captain evident.
"That's right!"
"Whitebeard, your strength is still at its peak!"
Ryder muttered in admiration.
Magellan, though powerful, was not on par with the Marine Admirals. However, Whitebeard had effortlessly defeated him. This reaffirmed Ryder's belief in Whitebeard's extraordinary strength.
"You mentioned... How does Whitebeard maintain his peak strength?" World asked with curiosity.
Ryder shook his head. "I don't know."
Even with his extensive knowledge, Ryder was puzzled by Whitebeard's ability to maintain his peak strength into his seventies.
"Old Whitebeard!"
Bullet's excitement was palpable. Since the death of Gol D. Roger, he had lost his sense of purpose. But now, witnessing Whitebeard's incredible strength, he had found someone to aspire to. If there were ever a chance, he would challenge Whitebeard without hesitation.
As the group discussed Whitebeard's strength, Whitebeard himself received a notification in his mind. He saw a card appear in front of him, visible only to him.
"The second card!"
Whitebeard's eyes narrowed as he realized the significance of this event. Since obtaining the newbie gift pack card, he had not received another card. This prompted him to consider the conditions under which cards were obtained.
"It seems that defeating an opponent in a hostile state, who possesses a certain level of strength, is the prerequisite for obtaining a card," Whitebeard thought. "Ordinary battles and victories against weak enemies won't yield cards."
While he kept his discovery to himself, he couldn't hide the excitement he felt. The card he had received, the "Double Strength Card," was incredibly valuable in the current situation. Although it had a short duration of three minutes, those three minutes could make a world of difference in a battle.
"Father, there's news from Marco!"
Bista's voice interrupted Whitebeard's thoughts as he received a call on a Den Den Mushi.
Whitebeard took the Den Den Mushi and listened attentively.
"Father, we've successfully bypassed the Gates of Justice and reached Marineford. Are we going to launch an assault now?"
It was Marco's voice on the other end.
Whitebeard considered for a moment before responding, "You wait at the seafloor for now. We'll launch the assault when the time is right. I'll notify you when the moment comes."
As Blackbeard and his crew approached Impel Down on their three-masted sailing ship, they experienced an unexpected mishap. A massive wave appeared seemingly out of nowhere, nearly capsizing their vessel. Fortunately, they managed to avoid disaster and crashed into the port of Impel Down.
Emerging from the ship, Blackbeard and his crew appeared unfazed by the chaotic arrival. The leader of this group, Blackbeard himself, displayed an air of confidence and arrogance. His appearance was rough, covered in thick body hair, and missing a few teeth. He seemed both jubilant and haughty as he walked towards the onlookers.
Among his crew was Rafitt, who seemed nervous and trembling as he tried to alert Blackbeard to something. Blackbeard inquired, and Rafitt pointed to a nearby ship.
Blackbeard, curious, turned his gaze towards the ship and noticed that it was the Moby Dick, a massive sailing ship. His shock was palpable as he recognized the ship and what it represented.
"Moby Dick?!!!" Blackbeard exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. He turned his head and saw a tall figure with a crescent-moon beard on the nearby ship. Overwhelmed by shock, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Blackbeard's earlier confidence and arrogance disappeared in an instant. He clutched his head in disbelief, and his face transformed from contentment to sheer shock.
"Whitebeard... Pops!!!" Blackbeard screamed, unable to comprehend the unexpected presence of Whitebeard, his former captain and one of the most powerful pirates in the world.
