Ohara, Art Palace:
The chirping of birds, the running of deer and rabbits in the grassy land filled with flowers of various kinds and colors.
In the midst of this large garden, sat three beautiful women.
Two of them had swollen bellies, meaning they were pregnant in the literal sense of the word.
"What's with this cover image?"
Sora felt sorry for Sanji, who looked like the okamas behind him at this moment.
"Fufu~ Totally a maiden, Sanji-kun~"
Stussy suppressed her laughter at this moment.
"Weird... How does this happen? This island is strange. If even someone like Sanji is affected and becomes like this, then any other person would suffer the same fate..."
Toki put her hand on her mouth, her eyes showing sadness for Sanji's cruel fate.
"When the husband comes, I'll ask him to destroy the Kamabakka Kingdom... Hmph!"
Sora gently touched her swollen belly as if trying to soothe the frightened child inside.
...
Away from Ohara, in the East Blue Pearl Sea, a seagull flew and landed on the top sail of the restaurant ship.
The seagull's eyes reflected a table where two men and two women, plus a kid, were sitting. The seagull flapped its wings and flew away when the man sitting at that table looked at it directly through the restaurant window.
...
"It's fate indeed..."
Roger clenched his fist as if wanting to smash Teach's face at this moment.
"But if people like you control this fate, it's unfair, Marshal D. Teach..."
Roger was reading the chapter where another short flashback appeared about Ace's encounter with the Blackbeard Pirates.
(But fate was kind to you...!!!)
That's what Teach said to Luffy after informing him of the truth that he wanted to take his head. who's defeated the Shichibukai Crocodile, presenting his head to the World Government as proof of his strength to obtain the Shichibukai seat Crocodile left behind.
But Ace's appearance, Luffy's older brother, changed everything.
Instead of Luffy, Ace took that fate with pleasure and became the person presented to the World Government as a memento. And here we return to the current course of the plot, where Ace was used as a precious pressure card by the World Government to involve the Whitebeard Pirates in the war.
"So that's how it is then..." Rouge tried not to cry again as she had cried a lot even before the Summit War began.
This fully illustrated the initial picture of the Summit War for all readers.
Now all readers knew how Blackbeard contributed to quickly igniting the Summit War unintentionally... After all, his initial goal was to become a Shichibukai by presenting Strawhat Luffy's head to the World Government, then quietly planning for a long time, relying on his Shichibukai title to drag the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines into a full-scale war.
"But Blackbeard Pirates don't know they're the lucky ones with Ace's appearance, not Luffy..." Rob sneered at this moment, catching Roger and the others' attention.
"How so, dear?" Olvia asked with a nice smile.
Rouge, Roger, and Bentham were also looking at Rob, awaiting his answer.
"Haha! Well, it's very simple. Catching Ace instead of Luffy made his original plan closer than ever, and amid all the chaos, no one would care about him... But he didn't know that if he followed that original path he wanted to follow..."
"You mean if he caught Luffy instead of Ace...?" Roger interrupted.
"Yes, if he killed Luffy and handed his head to the World Government as he said, he would be pursued by the Marine hero Garp, the Revolutionary Army leader Dragon and his army, in addition to the Revolutionary Army's deputy commander... Whitebeard Pirates' second division commander Ace, who would have a greater reason to kill him no matter what happened, which would lead to the involvement of the Whitebeard Pirates' entire crew in the pursuit...
"... Also The Red Hair Pirates' captain and his crew who caused Luffy to enter the sea in the first place... Well, in his current situation, he won't have a good end, and he'll regret it bitterly..." Rob completed his explanation with a smile on his face.
"Wahahaha! That's quite logical... Fate indeed shielded the Blackbeard Pirates from a tragic outcome."
"Imagine being chased by two Yonko and their crews, the terrifying Marine hero who rivals the power of Pirate King, and the mysterious Revolutionary Army leader whose depths are unknown... That's truly frightening... Even I can't guarantee my survival from such a chase." After Roger said these words, Rouge and the others understood how Blackbeard truly escaped death.
...
"This..."
Rouge put her hand on her mouth after seeing Luffy's angry reaction at this moment.
"This soothes the heart a little... Well done, boy..."
Roger smiled after seeing this scene:

Chapter's Events:
—————————
"You should go visit his grave and say thanks… If he didn't show up, you would be the dead one, Strawhat!"
Facing Luffy directly, Teach continued to rub salt in the wound by uttering those words.
Of course, Luffy wouldn't stand still after hearing all that.
He immediately assumed Gear Second stance: "Then why don't you… TRY ME NOW!!!"
"!!!"
Teach was caught off guard, as Luffy punched him with a Pistol punch containing all the anger and hatred accumulated up to this moment.
Without a doubt, this was the strongest Pistol Punch Luffy had ever used.
"DOWAAH!!!" Teach was sent flying, smashing through the concrete wall behind him from the force of the punch.
"Captain…" Van Augur's eyes trembled after witnessing this scene and hearing his leader's painful cries.
"GUWAAAAH!!!"
"I WON'T LET ACE DIE!!!" exclaimed Luffy, "Gomu Gomu… JET—"
Before Luffy could finish his attack, an invisible force grabbed him strangely.
"Kurouzu!!!" A dark hole appeared in Teach's hand, pulling Luffy towards it, where it nullified all his powers.
Then Teach slammed him onto the concrete floor, causing Luffy to bleed despite being rubbery.
•———•———•———•———•———•
Impel Down:
"Well, take a bit of my power, you arrogant bastard!" A wicked smile appeared on Teach's face at this moment as he witnessed the short battle between his counterpart and Strawhat Luffy.
"If it weren't for Jimbei's interference... It would have been good to see Luffy die here."
Shiryu felt frustrated after seeing Jimbei's intervention, preventing Luffy from engaging in a major battle with Teach.
Despite Luffy's feats and what he had done so far resonating with Shiryu, he never favored his way of doing things even once!
If he wanted to choose his favorite shonen protagonist, it would always be Ichigo... who managed to overcome a formidable opponent like Aizen... that's all there is to it.
For him, he didn't favor the side of good... the strong always have the right.
Seeing Luffy lose to Teach made Shiryu feel that Teach was the one justified in what he was doing, simply because he was strong!
"Oh, it seems Magellan has finally arrived..."
Teach's expression changed, as did Shiryu's upon hearing Magellan's name.
Shiryu now hated Magellan very much, especially after he used a sneaky trick to defeat him... where he pricked him with a poisonous needle that paralyzed him for a moment without him noticing, exploiting his relative superiority in observation Haki to succeed in his stealth attack.
That's why he lost before.
"What to do now with this poisonous bastard!?"
"Well, my counterpart must have a plan for this calmness." Teach relaxed, crossing one leg over the other, and continued reading.
