One Piece:Revenge Against Celestial Dragons.

When Teach was ten years old, he worked as a hired hand in his master's house and accidentally came across the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

For the first time, a dream sparked within him—a boy yearning to sail the seas, filled with ambition and longing.

At eleven, he took his two younger sisters and attended the grandest festival on Winter Island.

But kindness led to tragedy. They were devoured by the cruel Prince Wapol, and from then on, Teach was an orphan.

At twelve, he forged a crown for his sisters as a token of hope and began his desperate escape from the tyrant king.

Eventually, he joined the crew of one of the Four Emperors and became a "son" under Whitebeard. Teach's ambition slowly morphed into something darker and far more terrifying.

By thirteen, he realized his body was different and began training relentlessly to master every skill he could.

Under the towering shadow of Whitebeard, Teach gradually grew into a formidable combatant.

At fourteen, his division clashed fiercely with the fleet of the Roger Pirates. His secret—the fact that he didn't need to sleep—became known, and he encountered the future Emperor, "Red-Haired" Shanks.

At fifteen, plagued by another sleepless night, he discovered he could speak with two other souls dwelling inside his body.

Carrying the weight of his own soul, driven by encouragement from his lost sisters, Teach launched a long, deliberate plan.

He hid his strength and ambition while lurking within the Whitebeard Pirates, waiting for the day he would finally locate the fabled Darkness Fruit.

But fate intervened—his rival, just slightly stronger and more cunning, claimed the prize first.

Desperate, Teach betrayed the crew that had been his family for half his life. He vanished into the sea, evading pursuit and assassins alike.

Even so, his dream didn't end.

He made shady deals with the World Government, recruited new followers, and assembled a powerful crew.

Using Ace as leverage, he earned the title of Warlord of the Sea and gained access to the hellish prison known as Impel Down.

Like a tiger sprouting wings, he freed the monsters of Level Six and forged a team capable of shaking the world. The plan was back on track.

In order to claim the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the fruit of destructive force, he timed his entry onto the battlefield perfectly during the Marineford War.

Iggy, the nemesis of nature itself, once again played the predator behind the predator—lurking like a yellow warbler behind the mantis.

At a critical second, Iggy ambushed Teach and stole the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit for himself.

Most shocking of all, Iggy didn't die from holding two Devil Fruits—a sign that he too possessed a body capable of housing multiple souls.

Crushed by Iggy's overwhelming might, Teach's pirate crew collapsed. Some were killed. Others defected.

Now alone and stripped of his power, Blackbeard faced the Avenger.

"Teach, do you know why you failed?"

Iggy approached slowly. His presence was suffocating—so intense it knocked Teach to the ground in fear.

Iggy crouched beside him, staring deeply into his eyes. His gaze was like a sea of black water—impossible to see through, impossible to escape.

Teach looked into his enemy's shrinking pupils, desperate to hear the answer from the mouth of the victor.

"I have no attachments," Iggy said coldly. "And my fall into darkness runs deeper than yours."

In that moment, Teach thought he saw something flicker in Iggy's gaze—perhaps even sorrow.

But Iggy was right. Teach had only cast aside the good in him, while clinging to every negative emotion.

Iggy, on the other hand, had cast aside all emotion. Without any ties to the world, he had become truly unshackled.

A lifetime of pain had forged him into something merciless, a being beyond humanity.

And yet, only Iggy knew the deeper reason for Teach's defeat.

It was the vision.

Teach sought to rule the world.

But Iggy?

Iggy wanted to destroy it.

His ambition demanded more power, more patience, and a deeper madness.

"Time to go, Teach."

As he spoke, Teach pulled a hidden Sea-Prism Stone claw blade from within his coat and lunged forward.

He still believed in his dream, even in the final moments. He would fight to the death for a chance at victory.

Iggy raised his arms, now hardened and pitch black with Haki, and blocked the blow.

"High-purity Sea-Prism Stone…"

As the claw blade made contact, Iggy winced. He could feel the Devil Fruit powers being drained.

With a burst of force, he leapt back, creating distance between them.

He no longer planned to touch Teach directly. Wisps of darkness swirled from his hands.

"Dark Vortex!"

He slammed his palm downward, and the ground beneath Teach morphed into a spreading swamp of darkness.

From it, countless black tendrils lashed upward, dodging the claw blade and wrapping tightly around Teach's body.

Even near death, Teach fought back, slashing the tendrils with his weapon, but it was useless.

For every tendril he cut, dozens more replaced them.

"Shockwave Fist!"

As Teach's body weakened, Iggy darted in, his fist glowing with raw energy.

He drove it into Teach's chest with a thunderous boom, sending shockwaves deep into his body.

His organs churned violently like a storm, blood and fragments bursting from his mouth.

Iggy's fist surged again, shattering his opponent's spine. With a final strike, he drove his hand through Teach's body, tearing out intestines and half-digested meat.

Even with his monstrous durability, Teach couldn't survive. He slumped forward, lifeless.

"Brother! Brother!"

As Teach's captain's hat and turban slipped from his head, the truth was revealed.

Behind his skull were two bulging lumps. Upon closer inspection, they were the faces of two young girls, barely conscious and gasping.

They were his sisters—still fused with him from the day they were devoured by Wapol, their souls bound together in a single body.

Though their faces had always been hidden beneath Teach's turban, they were there—silent witnesses to it all.

"No wonder he always wore a hat…"

As the battlefield fell silent and the black abyss faded, Teach's body hit the ground with a dull thud.

The two girl-faces at the back of his head stared wide-eyed in death, their final expressions frozen in shock and silence.
