[The only reason Teach is asking for information in the first place is because, as sad as it is to say, Law's the closest thing to a neutral source he can get. The Straw Hats have a very good reason to distrust him (and his knowledge of Ace's death doesn't help for those who already know about it), and the Marines aren't going to tell him anything. By comparison, Law doesn't have any personal grudge against the obese pirate to Blackbeard's knowledge]

Of course I believe in it! Fate's what drives us all onward in life! Hard work an' ambition an' all that's good, but if fate ain't on yer side, yer pretty much screwed! It's like bein' on a ship with a broken rudder! Sure, ya can try ta make it move the way ya want it to, but if yer goin' against fate, ya ain't goin' anywhere!

I just wanna know what's changed after the war! With Pops dead an' all, I wanna know how badly things were shook up!
