Seeing the information displayed on the Gold List, Whitebeard's and his group's faces changed drastically.
"Teach isn't actually dead? How is that possible!"
Marco and the other division commanders showed expressions of disbelief.
At that time, they saw with their own eyes how Whitebeard slashed through Teach's chest, then he fell into the sea in seriously injured condition. Logically, it was impossible for him to survive.
Moreover, Teach was a Dark-Dark Fruit user; once he touched seawater plus such heavy injuries, they couldn't understand how he could stay alive. Moreover, the Gold List reward Teach previously obtained had absolutely no connection to wound recovery.
"Mysterious person..." Whitebeard furrowed his brow, staring into the distance, toward where that golden light fell.
He intended to chase to completely finish off that traitor. However, clearly Teach wasn't a fool; that golden light had revealed his position, so it was impossible he would remain there waiting for Whitebeard to come kill him.
Moreover, Whitebeard couldn't leave the battlefield now. The situation changed rapidly, and Whitebeard was one of the main pillars of strength.
"Pops, Teach is a very ambitious person. In the future, he'll surely be a troublesome factor. If not for the Gold List, most likely he would appear at the final moments. His ability combined with Gold List rewards could cause great losses to our side. If there's an opportunity, we must finish him off!" Marco's face looked serious; he was very worried about Teach's existence.
Whitebeard nodded; he thought the same.
The Gold List ranking continued.

◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
The appearance of these rankings immediately triggered admiration from the entire world. Among them, only Orochimaru already had great strength and entered the Strongest List; the rest were unknown people; even Sasuke was just a teenager. However, the items they obtained were all at an insane level that could make others lose their minds.
"Zoro, you also entered the list!!!" Luffy exclaimed full of spirit. His eyes sparkled staring at the unique sword in Zoro's hand, as if wanting to bite it out of curiosity.
