One Piece is an anime with its fair share of strong characters. While its protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy, has been the subject of our most frequent articles, this one will focus on a fight that occurred between two secondary but very important characters in the series. They are Trafalgar D. Water Law and Marshall D. Teach (aka Blackbeard), and the two engaged in an important fight during Luffy's adventures on Egghead Island. Why did they fight and how did it all play out? Read on to learn more about this exciting moment in the series!

Blackbeard attacked Law because of one of the Poneglyphs

Now, it's pretty clear that the Blackbeard and Heart Pirates are going to have a fight near Wano, but before we tell you about the fight, why did they even engage in a fight? It's not like they were mortal enemies at that point. But, even if that's true, we should also note the following: the Heart Pirates were in possession of a Road Poneglyph, and Blackbeard wanted one as well. So, after the events in Wano, he set up an ambush near an island off the coast of Wano and waited.

He knew he would encounter either Straw Hat, Kid, or the Heart Pirates as they left, and knowing they would be exhausted from fighting, he wanted to make things easier for himself. The Heart Pirates were the first to arrive, and so the fight began.

Law was eventually defeated, but he survived

As the fighting began, Doc Q used his power to transform some members into women, including Law. The Polar Tang was also damaged—holes were opened in the hull—so he ordered it to resurface, aiming for a nearby island and telling them to prepare for battle. The crew also understood that they must not touch any infected people, or they could become infected. Law, however, stated that while fighting the emperors, he learned that a Devil Fruit has no effect on sufficiently powerful Haki, and used it to regain his abilities.

Once they disembark, however, they find themselves in front of Jesus Burgess, who raises an entire mountain, to which Law comments that the enemy crew has been researching the powers of super strength, teleportation, and contagion, understanding why their bounty continues to rise. Burgess throws the mountain at them, but Law uses his powers to save his crew and prepares to confront Blackbeard. Blackbeard says he is sure the latter possessed a Road Poneglyph, asking him how many they found and stating that he wants them all. Law replies that it is the same for him and that the winner of their fight will win everything.

Teach tells him there is no way out, but he orders Hakugan to reach the Polar Tang and Shachi and Penguin to dive into the sea, then cuts Stronger in half. Teach unleashes a shockwave that hits the island and the Heart Pirates on it. Law points out to his opponent that all of his officers have eaten a Devil Fruit and are therefore weak to seawater, but the emperor replies that in exchange, they all have advantages. The two thus resume the battle and this time Teach resorts to the Yami Yami no Mi. The Heart Pirates are defeated and almost all of them end up in the sea with the Polar Tang, sunk and destroyed.

The emperor asks him how he can still call himself a pirate without a ship, pointing out that he no longer has a way out. He also comments on the reflection on what to do with him and his Ope Ope: sell the fruit, use it, or exploit it to obtain immortality. Bepo, however, transforms into Sulong and attacks his enemies; thus, he manages to take Law to safety by fleeing into the sea. Law asks him to return because they cannot abandon the others, but Bepo tells him to trust him since they left the North Sea and arrived there, so he will not allow it to have been in vain, asking him not to make him die.
