Why not for the moment he said he was not going to hurt anyone unless the war ended then and there. It was a War that should have ended the minute Ace died

About Garp and Sengoku taking down Blackbeard: I'm not 100% certain about that. I mean, before Shanks came along and blew his ref whistle on the war, Blackbeard was about to take on the both of those guys solo. And this was despite him getting smacked around by Sengoku's shockwaves just previous to this handicap matchup. Maybe Teach was confident that he could take the both of them on because they were old fogies like Whitebeard, but he certainly showed no sign of backing down from those two legendary marines......
.....Which is why I still found it kinda odd that he ran away from Akainu later on. If he didn't back down against 2 legends at Marineford (both of whom being admiral-level at that), then I don't really see any reason why he should've ran from the red hound. I'm not saying that he should have quake-punched him the instant he arrived on that island or whatever, but he could have just silently handed over Bonney and went on his merry way with no conflict (and yes, I'm aware that being cowardly is more fitting of his nature, but still)....... |

BB was a problem that WB had to deal with. It was in his hands. Shanks only made a suggestion to call Ace back; the decision was ultimately up to WB. That being said, it wasn't really Shanks' place to interfere with BB. Furthermore, Shanks doesn't instigate fights. He'll only retaliate if someone causes harm to his crew, and BB didn't do that so there was no reason to invoke Shanks trying to stop him.

Shanks isn't some 'hero of justice' and there's no reason for him to go all out in the middle of the most devastating battle in decades (risking his life AND his crewmates) - all just to get BB, who has not, so far, attacked the RH pirates Shanks had a simple objective - stop the war, i.e. ALL fighting .. he succeeded

Well, we know that before Shanks lost his arm, and BEFORE Blackbeard got his Devil Fruit, Blackbeard had put those 3 scars on Shanks' face. So I think right now, Blackbeard has somewhat of an upperhand. Though, Shank's Haki might still be strong enough to do something with Blackbeard.

Its the job of the Marines to enforce justice - and even if it means suffering bigger losses - its a small price to pay to eliminate them. |

And what basis do you have for such a bold claim? The man tanked 2 of WB's attacks and shrugged off the pain moments later. After acquiring the Quake ability, there are very few who can oppose him. The Gorosei even said that only the remaining emperors would be able to stop him and maybe the remnants of the WB pirates.

I'd definitely put my money on Sengoku & Garp tag-team in the end, though this fight would've been much harder for them then vs Shiki
and yeah - BB took em on, because he was pretty much high on power atm, having become the 'ultimate being' and declared war on the world - gotta back that up instead of running away in front of the cameras .. + he likely does think of them as old relics (biiig mistake) and he has his crew to help out in case he seemed positive he could take a wounded WB solo too - how did that turn out, hmm later he cooled his head and ran from Akainu if it were 1v1 vs either Sengoku or Garp then I'd bet on BB

BB vs. Sengoku & Garp happened off-panel. What we do know is that by the end of the war, Sengoku's body was wrapped in bandages. BB must have given the duo a good fight. Of course, there's also the chance his crew got involved as well.

^Yeah, I was always curious about those bandages. I guess either Blackbeard managed to land a few lucky shots on Sengoku offscreen, or else his injuries are a side-effect of his Buddha DF. Actually, the latter possibility would certainly be fitting, since in Buddhism the human body is perceived as naught but a vessel of suffering......

Blackbeard couldn't even handle almost dead Whitebeard. What makes you think for 1 moment, he'd stand a chance against 2 Legendary Marines at full strength? Of course i am refering at that specific time - during the war itself. It'd be a different story now obviously, 2 years on now that he has fully mastered BOTH abilities. |

Seriously though, we'll probably see a little more in the next episode. Though that'd only really be filler stuff... |
