Teach, Laffitte, Van Augur, Jesus Burgess, Doc Q, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 14: Shanks and Whitebeard clash blades, and the force of their meeting erupts across the ship and the sky. Around them, Whitebeard's men shout in disbelief: "IT STARTED." "IS IT A WAR?" Another crewman insists, "NAH, BOSS SAID HE AIN'T GONNA DO THAT..." but someone else can only ask, "THAT RED HAIR BASTARD, WHAT HAS HE DONE TO POP...!!?" Marco tells them to wait and see, saying Shanks is not stupid enough to be so reckless, and someone realizes, "BUT SOME KIND OF DEAL MUST'VE BEEN BROKEN." Joz orders, "LOOK AT THE SKY." Above the ship, the clouds tear apart from the pressure of the clash. The crew cries, "THE CLOUDS...!!" and "NO...!!! THE HEAVENS SPLIT!!" The meeting of Whitebeard and Red Hair has physically split the heavens. Page 15: Elsewhere, on an island on the Grand Line, the focus shifts to the man Shanks was warning about. One of Blackbeard's men calls, "HEY, LOOK!!" and another says, "IT'S AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE STRAWHATS...!!" Blackbeard laughs, "ZEHAHAHAHA!! THEY'VE DONE SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS THING!!!" The crew recognizes that the Straw Hats took out the judicial island, and they expect the bounties to jump. They discuss how Enies Lobby is close from where they are, with someone asking, "IS FAMOUS FOR THE SEA TRAIN COMING FROM WATER 7, ISN'T IT?" Blackbeard sees opportunity: "PITY... THAT THEY'RE WITHIN OUR RANGE. HOW UNLUCKY THEY ARE... COUGH." The ruins around them make the threat feel immediate: the Blackbeard Pirates are ready to move on Luffy.
