''Matters of life and death are decided by fate. Those who fear death are the losers!!''
-Marshall D. Teach
Anyone who think Teach is scared of dying?
Let me prove you wrong:
#1
Buggy: ''Never lay a hand on WB's crew!''
Same Buggy confronts Mihawk and Croc's authority and forces them to join the race for One Piece:
Teach knew whats going to happen to him if he killed 4th division commander Thatch, still did it with NO FEAR:
''You are right... Killing your own namaka is a big crime.''
#2
Shanks confirms DFless Teach wasn't scared to fight Shanks in a direct battle, no cheapshot involved:
Shanks: ''Its not like I was careless''
#3
Teach throws away his Warlord protection with NO FEAR, same protection that Doflamingo or Mihawk wanted for long time:
''Its all part of my plan''
Attacks Impel Down where there are many Government security forces and high ranked officers.
''I don't need it anymore!''
Attacks Marineford where WB Pirates and all relevant Marines were fighting, they were all his enemies after he throw his Warlord protection away.
''We wouldn't be able to stay at Dressrosa anymore!''
Mihawk: ''I need to pick up and move base, bothersome as it might be.''
Oda: ''Warlord means he won't be chased by the Marines, that way, he will have peaace, so thats why he became Warlord, but now Mihawk hides behind Buggy's shadow''
#4
Teach tries to steal the 2nd DF power with NO FEAR:
What happens to people who try the 2nd DF power:
#5
Fights Fleet Admiral Sengoku+Hero Garp at the same time:
''Try to protect it!''
''Sengoku?! Garp?! Can you stop me?!''
#6
Laughs and ignores his men asking him should they retreat after Teach gets weakened by Law's Shock Wille that broke Bigmom's bones:
#7
Takes the most dangerous, strongest and unstable killers in his crew:
''He chose his crew from worst prisoners in the world!!''
#8
Even without his full crew, he would still go after Emperor Luffy and his crew, or whoever came from Wano:
The difference with Greenbull is that, Teach was waiting for them to sail, so obviously they were going to be ready and healed when they sailed.
#9
He kidnaps 800 Marines when 2 Seraphims were on the island ready to fight him.
#10
BB Pirates are scared of backstabbing from Aokiji (Red Dog Sakazuki's equal), Teach has NO FEAR:
BB Pirates: ''Have you lost your mind captain!!''
Imagine being in so no give af mode, he has no fear about Aokiji backstabbing them despite his crew concern and still wants Aokiji as underling.
Now the baseless clown accusations of Teach being scared:
- WB attacking him,
If Teach was scared he wouldn't accept to fight WB 1 v 1 in the first place, and he would call his men before WB's attack, he was trying to trick WB that if he was going to lower his guard or not, so he could attack WB again, he overcome it and attacked WB with his pistol next page, killed him.
- Retreating vs Red Dog Sakazuki,
Pre-Emperor Teach was clearly not planning to fight Marines again after Marineford, he had other things to do like conquering new world territories, and as WB said before, even if they stand there and fight Marines, Marines were going to send more men to fight them again so its pointless. Since Sanjuan also broke their raft, they were not ready to fight Marines in that condition, and if they fought they would definitely lose Sanjuan since it would trouble to protect him in that situation. Vasco Shot and Devon also wanted to go from that useless island to an island with a town before they learned Marines are going to sneak attack them, his crew was bored as well so they went to an island with a town as his crew wanted.
- Rayleigh,
Teach's men were turned to stone as hostage so Rayleigh proposed Teach a deal to give his stone hostage men back, and Teach accepted to take them back instead of fighting both Hancock+Rayleigh at the same time. Rayleigh obvious isn't going to accept inferiority vs a guy that scared of him. Teach also said his goal was to not let Marines take Hancock's DF and when Rayleigh arrived, he was sure that Marines weren't going to take Hancock's DF, his goal was accomplished.
