Spoiler Warning!! [+/-] Show/Hide Synopsis...
The story goes to a flashback 3 days ago, when Blackbeard notices the new bounties of the Strawhat crew. He was about to depart Banaro Island in search of Luffy. Just at that specific moment, Ace reaches Blackbeard, despite Shank's efforts to avoid it. Blackbeard shows no fear and offers Ace to join his crew and beat the Strawhats, but Ace declines the offer, telling him that Luffy is his brother. Van Auger and Jesus Burguess attack Ace unexpectedly, but Blackbeard calls them off, as they are no match for him. Then Blackbeard reveals the cause of the homicide he comitted while he was in Whitebeard's crew: The Yami Yami no Mi(Dark Dark Fruit). Blackbeard destroys the entire town and he fights Ace showing him that he can nullify Devil's Fruits' Powers, causing him physical damage. In the end, Ace makes a struggle creating a Giant Fireball which crashed on a Giant Mass of Darkness made by Blackbeard, resulting in an unknown end, while Ace´s hat lays on the floor.
