Chapter 543 summary
On Level 1, guards raise the drawbridge and open fire on the Blackbeard Pirates, but Shiryu appears and identifies the intruder as Marshall D. Teach. Blackbeard laughs and confirms his identity while the two sides face each other. On Level 4, Luffy's escape group pushes forward past defeated guards until Sadi-chan arrives and strikes the prisoners with her whip. Ivankov transforms and knocks Sadi-chan aside, allowing the group to continue toward the stairs. Hannyabal blocks the path with his naginata and attacks Luffy, but Luffy dodges and defeats him with Jet Gatling. Magellan reaches the floor and moves to intercept the fugitives while Hannyabal struggles to rise and hold Luffy back. Blackbeard's darkness suddenly engulfs the area, and Teach tells Luffy that Ace chose a dangerous companion. Luffy recognizes Blackbeard as the man who defeated Ace, and Teach notes that Ace's execution will begin soon.
