[Insert text: Blackbeard...!!]
[TN: That's right, this guy is epic enough that he can be an insert text all by himself.]
Blackbeard: I found out, ya see, that the one who took down Mr. Former Shichibukai there... // ...was you, "Straw-Hat Luffy".........!!!
Crocodile: .........
Blackbeard: Now, being after the gap he'd left in the ranks... // ...I figured the best way to prove my power to the Government would be to take you down myself.
Luffy: .........
Flashback!Blackbeard: I'm gonna slaughter Straw Hat Luffy, who's in Water Seven just a short ways from here... / ...and take him to the Government!
Ace: ...Can't let you do that, I'm afraid. // ...That's my brother you're talking about!!!

3
Blackbeard: But in the end... // ...Fate was on your side......!!!
Luffy: !
Blackbeard: Ever since I committed that crime on Whitebeard's ship, Ace had been hot on my tail... / ...And he turned out to be your brother!! Once he learned what I had planned for you... / .........he just couldn't leave me be!! // You get it? If he let me get away there... He wouldn't just be bringing shame to Whitebeard... // ...he'd be losing his little brother as well!!
Auger: Fate holds no coincidences. // In other words...
DocQ: Yeah... you really are... // ...one lucky kid... *cough*...!!
Lafitte: Now that our Captain has become a Shichibukai and gained the status he desired... // ...we no longer have any need to take your life.
Burgess: Wiiiiihahahah! He sure was a fighter! // That brother of yours!!!

4
Blackbeard: I think you oughtta thank him when you visit his grave...!!
Luffy: ......!!
Blackbeard: If he hadn't shown up... // It'd be you about to be killed, Straw Hat!
Luffy: Why don't you... // ...JUST TRY IT?!!!
Blackbeard: !!! // !!!!

Jimbei: Wait, Luffy-kun!!! That's enough!!!
Luffy: ?!!
Jimbei: This is not the time!!! Just endure it!!! // What is your priority right now?!! Think about that!!!
Luffy: ...............!!! Ghhh...!!!
Blackbeard: *pant*... *pant*...
Jimbei: Even back when he was in Whitebeard's crew... / ...this man was an unknown quantity!! / I don't know what he did... but right now this man has the kind of power... / ...to take down even Ace!!

8
Jimbei: Don't put your time and energy to waste on him!!! // Getting heated up and fighting him now will not help you rescue Ace-san!!!
Luffy: *pant*... / *pant*...
Blackbeard: [aside]*pant*... // *pant*...[/aside] // .........This guy's stronger than I thought... His Haki has improved as well.
Crocodile: You called yourself "Blackbeard", yes? / Now, I had heard that an unknown pirate from Whitebeard's crew had taken my place in the Shichibukai... / ...but isn't something strange here? // Surely the Shichibukai have been convened at Marine HQ... why, then, are you here? / Have you already cast aside the title you so desired?
Blackbeard: It's all part of the plan. Not that it's exactly gone smoothly. / But since when do I have any obligation to tell the details of that to you? / Mr. Crocodile.

9
Crocodile: .........You don't. // And to be honest, I'm not all that interested.
Blackbeard: Short on manners, aren't ya.
People: MAGELLAN IS HERE~~~~~~~!!! // ?!! // Chief Warden Magellan?!! // Crap!!! // Run for it~~~~!!! // Run to Level Three!!!
Blackbeard: Magellan.........?! / So he finally shows his face...
People: Aahh!!! // Aaaaaghhhhhh!!!

People: Up the stairs!!! To Level Three!!! // The bazooka troops are gone!! The path is clear!!!
Jimbei: It seems your eliminating the troops guarding the stairs has worked in our favour.
Blackbeard: Zehahahah...!! Same back at you! / This panic is just what we needed.........!!

11
People: Another Demon Guard's showed up~~~~~~~!!! // This time it's Minotauros~~~~~~~~~!!!
BonClay: Whaaaaa?!! Minotauros...?! Isn't that the guy we took out before~~~~~~~?!!!
Crocodile: It is only natural that they would revive... those beasts are awakened Zoan users! / Extreme physical toughness and powers of recovery are their strong point!
BonClay: Th... Those are Devil Fruit users~~~~~~?!!
Crocodile: If you hang around much longer, the other three, too... / ...will be back on their feet soon enough...
People: Whaaaaaa~~~?!!
Crocodile: ...But this is no time to be worrying about them. // The boss of this Hell will be here in no time.

12
Guards: Chief Magellan!! // Hurry, to the stairway to Level Three! / It seems that Blackbeard has appeared there as well...!!
Magellan: I sent Shiryuu to deal with Blackbeard... was he defeated?
Gaoler: ...This is the Monitor Room!!!
Magellan: What's wrong?
Gaoler: I... It's terrible...!!! / The Giant Den-Den Mushi responsible for visuals reception has been taken out... / The monitor system for the entire gaol is down!! / On top of that, all lines of communication with Marine HQ and the Government have been cut!!! // We have no way of communicating with the outside............!!!
Magellan: Hey...?! What's wrong?!! What's going on over there?!!! / Who is responsible for all this?!!!
Shiryuu: ......... // .........Don't go tattling to your superiors. You trying to bring Magellan down here?

13
Gaoler: We've lost communications......!!
Magellan: Send somebody down there to investigate!! // ...Things aren't looking good here, either... If Blackbeard has reached this Floor... / ...then he must have torn open the door to Level Two on his way down...!! // Just how many things can go wrong...?!!! // We let a single intruder slip through our defences... and look where we've ended up!!!
Buggy: Fla~~shy!♪ Fla~~shy!♪

Luffy: I will save Ace, and that's final!!!
Blackbeard: Zehahahah... Well, I won't say you're doomed. / There's no such thing as "impossible" in this world, after all! // ...Sky Island existed in the end, am I right?
Luffy: !
Flashback!Blackbeard: The age when pirates dream?! Come to an end...?!! // Come off it!!!!
Blackbeard: The same goes for One Piece!! // It's out there, all right!!!! // Zehahahahahahahah!!!

Magellan: !
Blackbeard: Zehahahah... so you're Magellan, are ya.........?!!

17
Magellan: ...Blackbeard.
Blackbeard: Damn right I am!!!
Magellan: HYDRA!!!
Blackbeard: ?!!

18
[TN: Hm, is it just me, or should Magellan be a natural enemy of Blackbeard's? I mean, Blackbeard's main weakness is that he can't avoid absorbing everything. You'd think that would be pretty fatal with poison.]
Crew: Ahh......
Blackbeard: AAAAGHHHHH!!! THE PAAAAAAAAAIN!!!
Magellan: I have no time to waste asking why you are here.........!!!
Crew: AAAAGHHHHHHHHH!!!
Blackbeard: Wh... What is this.........?!! Poison?!! Ughhhh!!!
