### **Chapter: The Continent Puller's Wrath**
**"That's Oars the Continent Puller?!**
**How is he alive?!"**
Blackbeard's vision whited out as the 67-meter titan's **Advanced Armament Haki-coated fist** launched him off the Sky Island—**from 10,000 meters up.**
Blood-flecked foam sprayed from Teach's mouth as he **cannonballed** into Alubarna's desert outskirts.
**BOOM!**
A sand geyser erupted. Miraculously, the dunes cushioned his fall.
...…
**Hours later.**
A trembling black-gloved hand clawed from the sands. Teach—though not as monstrously durable as Big Mom—possessed freakish vitality. The world had underestimated him… until now.
*"Ghhh—!"*
He emerged, **laughing through bloodied teeth.** Fear and exhilaration warred in his voice:
**"ZEHAHAHA! I SURVIVED!"**
Pure luck. At the last second, he'd **eroded the ground beneath him with Black Hole**, lessening the impact. A direct hit would've **splattered him like a bug.**
His gaze snapped toward the invisible Sky Island. Despite the pain, **excitement burned in his chest.**
*"I got the intel! The World Government will make me a Warlord for this!"*
His tracking-enabled sky-boat surfaced nearby. Teach boarded it—then froze.
**A shadow engulfed him.**
Looking up, he **screamed:**
*"THIS MADMAN JUMPED AFTER ME?!"*
Oars **cratered** into the dunes like a meteor, **sand tsunamis** erupting around him. His reforged armor had **shattered** from the fall, revealing **Haki-blackened limbs** straining against the earth.
**"RRRAAAGH! FIGHT ME!!!"**
The roar shook the desert. Every inch of his crimson skin now gleamed with **obsidian Haki**—a nightmare made flesh.
Teach **gunned the boat's engine**, fleeing at full throttle.
*"Gotta cross the Sandora River! Water's my only chance!"*
Behind him, Oars **lumbered into a sprint**, each step quaking the earth. Then—
**He leaped a kilometer forward.**
Teach's heart seized. *"The World Government didn't warn me about THIS!"*
.....
**Alubarna Palace.**
Distant roars made Fujitora frown. *"Your Majesty… what's that noise?"*
Ezekiel smirked. *"Oars seems to be chasing someone."*
Though the Sky Island's height obscured details, Oars' **ear-embedded phone** confirmed: **He'd engaged an enemy.**
*"Let him have his fun."*
...
**Dusk. Sandora River.**
Teach's boat **skimmed the river mouth**, spraying foam. He **cackled**, chest puffed out:
**"ZEHAHA! Catch me now, you—"**
His taunt died.
Oars had **stopped at the riverbank**, scratching his Haki-coated head.
*"His Majesty said… this part's tricky…"*
Then—
**SPLASH!**
The giant **dove in**, **slapping the water** with tectonic force. A **10-meter tsunami** erupted as he **dog-paddled** with terrifying speed.
Teach's jaw dropped.
*"SINCE WHEN CAN GIANTS SWIM?!"*
No records existed of a **Haki-armored leviathan** moving through water like this. The impossible was unfolding—**because Ezekiel willed it.**
