Blackbeard's ENTIRE Plan To Become Pirate King Explained

[@Steven-mp7fh]

Theory: Aokiji was working with Blackbeard undercover as a member of SWORD. Blackbeard figured this information out somehow and waited for his moment to leverage it. Therefore, when the opportunity to capture a member of SWORD (a.k.a Koby) arose, he used Koby as a bargaining piece. Basically, he threatened the life of Koby in exchange for Aokiji to acquire the poneglyph from Big Mom's territory. In essence, Aokiji's plan was figured out and now he has to do something to save Koby's life because he is a fellow member of SWORD, a friend of Aokiji, etc.

[@Improboy122]

This makes a lot of sense

[@diablejambe3460]

Yo i like this idea, and if the main reason for aokiji leaving the marines and joining blackbeard is just for this thing alone, i wont have any complaints lol. Plus that would just be some crazy thing to plant in the story so many years beforehand (sth that we know GODA tends to do).

Careful, in the scans he says literally, "I wasn't sure which if you would show up." So I don't think he actually cared which one it was, he was confident that if he caught them off guard, he and his crew could handle it. Which also leads me to believe that he doesn't actually care about Law's fruit. It could be an added bonus but he is here for the poneglyph rubbings, for sure.

[@shimahdah]

Law might become a hostage just like Koby. However, I think it would make sense if the Strawhats were informed by Bepo, or someone else, about Law and Koby being captured. Both of them mean a lot to Luffy and I could definitely see how he would want to save them immediately. In addition, SWORD obviously knows that Koby has been captured but not everyone in the Marines/WG knows that he is part of SWORD. This could then lead to the collaborative effort of the Strawhats and SWORD to confront Blackbeard's crew together since they have a common enemy they want to defeat. Also, if SWORD is actually the "good version" of the Marines, then they would already know that the Strawhats can be trusted to a certain extent given their accomplishments. We would also get to see more about SWORD's organization if the Strawhats actually teamed up with them to battle Blackbeard and his crew. Edit: If this does turn out to be true, it could be said that the Roger & Garp vs Rocks battle could be reenacted here in some way since pirates and marines are teaming up. Also, I feel like this confrontation would most likely happen after Luffy has all of the road poneglyphs. As Ohara said, Blackbeard might try to bait him and I think we all know that Luffy wouldn't hesitate to save his friends.

I know we are all waiting for this, and hoped his entrance will be much larger than the current situation. But remember, this is the last arc of one piece, shanks has to appear sooner or later (and the movie "Red" has already foreshadowed his entrance in the near future). Blackbeard's crew is strong, but currently they only have 5 members. Shanks plus Law's crew might very well defeat, or at least kill some of Blackbeard's crew

Unbelievable 😊 Oda keeps surprising everyone

[@mhollis1989]

I said this on BDA's video, but assuming Pudding DOES awaken her ability to hear the voice of all things, which she hasn't according to Big Mom, it will be as useful to BB's purposes as it was to Roger's: hardly any at all. The only reason he was able to use them was because he had Oden, who was specifically trained to read AND write the ancient language (without the WG on his tail). Her biggest use will be through her fruit. All BB has to do is overpower one of the many other roger pirates (Scopper Gabon, anyone?), and either have pudding reach into their head and steal the info (location of Laugh Tale), or take her fruit and give it to someone who will.

[@christinakinch]

A flaw with this plan is the assumption that Pudding's DF abilities could easily be nullified by someone with great Haki (will), and it's safe to assume that Roger's old crewmates have great Haki.

Two mistakes 1) Blackbeard didn't plan to take WB's from the beginning. His initial plan was to become warlord and he targeted Luffy. Infact, he offered Ace to become member of his own crew which suggest he didn't plan to trigger MF war. 2)Teach didn't ambush law because he is weakest of the trio. He said "I knew one of you will show up here" so he was ready to ambush anyone of them who will take that route - Moving North from wano and it just happens to be Law

[@sohailsadaqat6684]

I am pretty sure, the reason Teach has to murder his crewmate instead of stealing it was because Tatcth probably ate the devil fruit, so the only way for Blackbeard to obtain DF was to kill his crewmate and do whatever he does to obtain the df

[@clashes-pm9wx]

Nah I don't think thatch ate the fruit. Blackbeard just wanted to kill Thatch to get his hands on the fruit quickly and because he had no more reason to stay in the WB pirates anyway. Also, I dont think Devil fruits reincarnate to nearby fruits but to a random fruit somewhere in the world.

Don't forget that Blackbeard plan could easily failed during his time at Impel Down if not the help he got from Siryu. So, luck also play a major role to his plan since at first he is planning to capture Luffy in order to become Warlods, however Luffy got away to the sky islands and he meet Ace instead. So Ace is not part of his plan to become a warlods, its just a coincidence since Ace was hunting Teach at same time. Blackbeard even offering Ace to join his crews since they are in same division at Whitebeard ship.

[@Taybigolesoul]

Theory: Oda didn’t reveal through Robin that Koby was captured by mister Zehahahaha (BB) to Luffy so that he wouldn’t go. But Oda waited until Law got captured by Black Bearded so Luffy could have more of a reason to go to Beehive so the SH can get fourth Load Ponegliff.

Thoery: Three blackbeards are acting individually in the manga right now… I think that since 3 blackbeard theory is so famous i thought of a possible situation that blackbeard we saw going against boa and the one who recently went to face law in chapter 1063 are two different blackbeards. I think there’s a possibility that blackbeard can detach himself into three people and go back to being three person in one body again. Cause, the crew members he went to in both the islands were completely different and the timeline of the both events were very near or almost same. I think we will again see blackbeard going against someone else with his remaining crew soon in few chapters which will be ofc the third blackbeard. I think oda intensely showed him with different crew member at both the places and the third place is coming soon. proof is that blackbeard in chapter 1059 has clearly 3 teeths missing while blackbeard in chapter 1063 is cleverly shown with only 2 teeths missing.

Completely unrelated to this video but I was thinking, the three shadows over Florian triangle remind me a lot of Imu, specifically after we saw their eyes shine red in the recent chapter. Made me think maybe there's not one but three Imus, one of each with a different power which affects the direction of the world they're facing; the one we saw in Florian triangle had a power to create thick fog, the one facing the way to Lulusia has the power to erase islands, and the third has either an unknown power or something we've already seen and we haven't noticed. The florian triangle in itself could actually be the triangle formed by the three shades of Imu (note how we can only see the eyes of one, and maybe the size difference isn't size, but perspective) , which may guard something crucial in the lore.

Me and my roommate were talking about the Blackbeard/Law/Koby situation and came to a grim conclusion. Law is dead, his final contribution (and honestly only thing left only he can do) will be exposition about Blackbeard during the fight before ultimately being killed. He has to die because Blackbeard needs his DF. Not for himself, but so he can make someone do the immortality surgery on him. Which bring me to Koby, he wouldn't give the fruit to one of his commanders because they need to be alive for the final fight. A cannon fodder crew mate wouldn't have to aptitude to master the fruit fast enough so what does he do? Kidnap an up and coming marine who he believes he can manipulate and strong enough to control the power. Long story short: Law gives expo on BB and his body, BB kills and steals fruit to make Koby use the immortality surgery on him.

[@zubhanwc3]

regarding aokiji, i think theres an additional piece of motivation that would go in tandam with the 3 ideas you brought up. Specifically, he has always been connected to robin, and more specifically, Ohara. His friend, Saul, died there as well. And given how ohara was a major turning point for both aokiji and akainu, him wanting to figure out why they had to go that far would make sense. And the only way to do so would be to figure out the lost history, and find out if there was any point to the destruction of ohara Also. Law has a copy of the road ponyglyph from zou. He wouldn't need to track it down thanks to beppo.

Blackbeard is strong, but he has never been able to defeat any of his the other big fishes as the Yonkou, the Admirals and even old Rayleigh himself. His real strength comes from his opportunism, which has allowed him to weather the waves of the new era in his favor remaining on the sidelines of the battle for supremacy of his enemies and at the same time steal the spoils of victory, and his knowledge of Devil Fruits, which is to him like having a detailed catalog of weapons and an unlimited debit card with which to equip his men with powers suited to their combat abilities. Finding Law is another stroke of luck for him, a succulent prey that he can come away with immensely strengthened.

[@Freikorponcrack]

[@dfile7598]

Great video. After learning what Blackbeard has done so far, I am stating to get the feeling if any of these actions are somehow an attempt to lure Luffy! If so, then I fear that this could be a trap that Blackbeard has planned in order to acquire Luffy's DF, which he may have learned is actually the most ridiculously powerful one of them all! Now I don't know how changing someone's gender can really make someone sick. But if Law can take on a feminine form (even for a brief moment), then I wonder if we will get something like that from Luffy, since I believe he should use his awakening to do that? I don't really expect Law to win against Teach, but I don't believe that now's the time for Oda to kill off another important D carrier like Law. So it is possible that Blackbeard will keep him alive for the time being. However, if Luffy & the others do learn what Blackbeard did to his fellow Supernova, then this could be a more appropriate reason for him to go after Teach than for the sake of saving Koby! Like I said before, the Marines wouldn't be happy that one of their best officers was saved by a pirate (whether an Emperor or not). And I also fear that Luffy's desire to save Koby would risk making the Kuja tribe question him since the recent attack on their homeland (which Koby was partly at fault for) pretty much made them more cautious with men than before. Well I don't know about you, but what do you think?

[@nkagi]

I don't think Blackbeard is as interested in Luffy as we make it out to be. Blackbeard would have indicated that he knows something about Luffy's fruit a long time ago, because if he knew it was so powerful, why would he aim for the Yami Yami no Mi for so long first. It would also be a bad plothole if he somehow found out about it when Luffy's fruit is one of the government's best kept secrets, probably only possibly known by the Roger pirates at most.

My theory: SWORD was tasked with discovering the One Piece themselves. Aokiji was the one to convince Blackbeard to capture Koby. Aokiji´s real goal, however, is to connect with another member of SWORD in order to get the One Piece.

[@stevelucky7579]

Aokiji and Magma brat I think are on better turns and are better friends then people think. What i think would be interesting is if magma brat was apart of sword as well. Given how close garp and sengoku were despite being radically different men with very different ideals on how to handle things, i think we can see that with Aokiji and magama brat.

But everything about the marine fort war or the impel down raid were completly out of his hand and spontanious.

i think people forget the true nature of blackbeards fruit. Its the dark dark fruit and can absorb ANYTHING (reinforced with his black holes attack (which absorb anything that passes its event horizon (yes im a physics student/geek)) Thus the reason why he can yield 2 fruit. I even believe he can yield more than two as, a black hole can swallow whatever it wants.

[@beebhaz]

i think kuzan has actually teamed with law rather than teach. it was law's plan to attack big mom so he must have had information regarding pudding and poneglyph. Kuzan thinks one piece and lost history will be important in the future and of all the worst generation, law seems logical enough to team with kuzan.. as seen most of the time teach goes with his crew rather than sending someone alone.

I was really convinced that Blackbeard would take robin for the Poneglyphs. Catarina Devons fruit would have made them able to take her unnoticed, but hasn't been relevant. Kuzan being on his crew and having a past with robin hasn't been relevant either. I really thought they would take her and she would purposely lead them to laugh tale knowing luffy and co would be in hot pursuit leading them there as well.

[@rodoshehossain7400]

I'm not surprised that Blackbeard would lure Luffy, by capturing his precious friends especially when his bounty was talked most in the world. That's something the Blackbeard Pirates would do. I can imagine Sanji would disagree with this at first, until he hears Pudding's captured. Knowing Sanji, he'd do everything to save a lovely lady. I remembered in the Dressrosa arc, when Doflamingo captured Law, Luffy chooses to step down the tournament and save his best friend. Luckily, Sabo was there and takes his brother's place. Such great memories, it'll be kinda funny when Law insists they're enemies, Luffy doesn't listen. 😂😂 Of course there's also Sabo and Revolutionary Army, also have score settle with Blackbeard Pirates after they'd destroyed their base.

[@jackmurphy8635]

This is gonna sound crazy but I think there’s a chance this sets Law up to join the straw pirates. Blackbeard attacks, Law is on the verge of defeat but his crew, which idolizes Law, urge him to retreat since they don’t want Law’s fruit to fall into Blackbeards hands. Law reluctantly does so and effectively becomes solo. Wanting to rescue his crew, he joins Luffy. The precedent for both a Warlord and a former pirate captain to join Luffy’s crew isn’t unheard of either; Jimbei was both a warlord and a captain beloved by his crew, yet he ended up joining Luffy’s crew directly. Again, total dart-throw of a theory but Law’s seen too much screen time for him to just be a secondary rival to Luffy (at least secondary when compared to Blackbeard or Kidd)

Here's my theory: shanks is on his way to laugh tale. Does shanks want to be pirate king? No, I doubt it. I think Shanks is going to laugh tale to gate keep it. Which means, if Teach gets there first, this is where shanks will try to stop him. If Luffy gets there, well maybe the same thing, but friendlier. I also have a theory about haki, and that when you get to shanks and Roger's level of haki, it starts to kill your body. I think shanks is close to dying, from the same thing that took Roger. The haki they output is beyond ridiculous, so that's what I think

[@sohailsadaqat6684]

Teach gets too much bad repute for no reason, he is by far the least brutal villain in One piece. He tries doing his things with the least brutal way. He saved Drum kingdom from Wapol, He defeated Ace who wanted to kill Blackbeard but still Blackbeard didn't kill him, he again had to defend from Bonny who attacked him, he still didn't kill her, he was involved again in Rocky port incident clearly on the side of Law, Coby (who is referred as a hero just like Garp did after God valley). Kid has been portrayed more brutan than BB as he was killing people who was begging him to let them go to paradise. The only people BB killed, he needed their devil fruits and were pirates

[@XDaveOnPC]

From what I've gathered in this chapter, my hypothesis is the following (And there's lowkey great chances that I'm wrong. So buckle up your seatbelts): Kuma once was a priest, a religious important figure in Sorbet kindom due to the robes we see him wearing in the flashback, and the fact that pre-timeskip, he almost always carried with him a bible. Became ruler of the kingdom down the line after adopting Bonney as his daughter, explaining why Oda once drew her in an sbs wearing rags. World Governement did something that discredited him the same way Crocodile did with Vivi's father, maybe threatened Bonney and his kingdom's security, and was branded a pirate with the nickname 'Tyrant', forcing him to flee and ended up meeting Dragon to whom he told his story. As for Law, this awfully looks like Ace vs Blackbeard 2.0, unfortunately. It's very subtle but we see the black lightnings of Conqueror's haki before Law dive down with his crew and submarine, hinting at the fact that Blackbeard not only has now access to armament as seen in his attack on Amazon Lily, but also Conquerors's haki. What I fear most for Law is that Blackbeard knows A LOT about devil fruits, and he might be aware of the 'secret operation' that can be done with the Ope ope no mi. So not only if Law is defeated, he would've to surrend his copies of the poneglyphs, but he would also die as a side effect of the operation. And we know how much of an opportunist like Teach is, it's his golden ticket to become immortal. Now that I think of it, in retrospect, it also makes sense that he tried to get Hancock's fruit. Even if he becomes immortal as a result of Law forcefully sacrificing his life, Hancock's fruit could turn Blackbeard as a stone statue for eternity, and it's too big of a risk to take. As she herself said, unless it was some bluff, NO ONE would be able to undo the transformation if she were to petrify Bb, not even the potential future user of her fruit. That's what makes her that much of a threat, and why he wanted to get rid of her and keeping her fruit probably locked away. Ps: Not a chance this will happen, but... Bonney for Strawhat!

[@saneinsein5343]

BB said he didn't knew who would end up on that Island from the three, that means he surely was ready to fight even if it was straw hats who ends up there.

[@malik5531]

Hmmm that’s true too

[@tombro911]

I think people under estimate Stronger's devil fruit. Yea, flight is an aspect but actual mythical Pegasus powers go into realms of the Mortal and Immortal realms and can create elemental attacks or support moves like creating water streams from it's hoofs and thunder from it's wings. I feel like the whole aspect of tricking Moria to come to Blackbeard's set up is to get a devil fruit that can potentially bring back the dead and Stronger's abilities to go through realms could be a crazy new plot aspect. So, we could potentially see Ace return but as someone who would be fighting against the Strawhats as some cheap mind trick or even the Pirate King and Yonkos who are supposedly dead with Whitebeard. I kinda don't want this to be in the story aspects but if Oda can do it correctly it could have huge emotional, dope, epic and huge story payoffs for the entire story going back to emotional flashbacks of those characters and even potentially the Void Century (Joyboy deep dives, aswell as the entirety of Imu and Celestial Dragons). The premise even has the aspect of Xebec showing up in the story legitimately if he was truly dead. I only think it could work well in the story because of how Oda writes out his story and there are HUGE plot points that still need to be explained that were hinted at literally decades ago.
