Blackbeard

It's not gonna be long, just so I can talk about it.

So i- it's eventually taken from him and his wife by Blackbeard and given to Shiryu, who was one of the head jail- jailers of Impel Down until he was imprisoned for his excessive violence towards prisoners.

And obviously, he got broken out of Impel Down during that entire arc with Luffy and all that.

And basically, he joins the Blackbeard Pirates, and he's just an absolutely vile masochist or [laughs] s- like, he's absolutely deranged and, and psychotic in a way.

Not like openly nuts, but he's very dark, evil, and twisted and enjoys punishing and torturing people.

So not a great guy, and he ends up acquiring this Devil Fruit.

We saw other times Whitebeard exert himself, we didn't see that cough at all.

We've seen him cough once, you know, fighting Blackbeard, almost Blackbeard scared for his life, fighting Akainu, fighting Kuzan.

We don't see him getting exerted or weakened like that.

We only see a couple instances, and honestly you could argue that was plot to hype up Luffy with his conqueror's.

It's just no way for us to really tell.

But there is one indicator that shows that conqueror's haki was used, and I wanna know if you guys think that Zoro can do this.

When Shanks came aboard Whitebeard's Moby Dick ship with everybody on board, they drank, they talked about Blackbeard, and then they clashed, and then the sky split.

split.If we replace Shanks with Zoro, do you think that Whitebeard and Zoro would clash and split the sky?

... likely the end goal.

And, and then you have the unknown factors of Blackbeard and Shanks.

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, like, you could, you could imagine, you know, the folks on Fulelad are seeing all this, and it's like, uh...

Like, God, like, b- this is the kind of thing Blackbeard revels in, right?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, okay.

This is very interesting now that we're talking about, like, the left and the right hands of, like, these major pirate crews, right? So if we could take a little tangent here, we haven't talked about Blackbeard in a while.

Like, he's on the cover page.

Like, who's the one and two of the Blackbeard crew?

I have to, I have to look up the crew again, but...

Like, do you think it's, like, Laffite or Burgess? [keyboard clacking] Like Doc?

I feel like-

So first-

You know how when they do these arcs and they have all these mini fights break out with all the other crew members? They one-up in the people that they fighting.

So now it's kind of getting to the point to where, all right, what's going to happen with Emu? But then it makes you think, what's going to happen with Blackbeard? Because it made me think, like, what if Blackbeard comes through and then something happened to Emu, he died, and Blackbeard takes his devil fruit? That shit would be disastrous.

Yeah, yeah.

That's an end of the world scenario, right?

You're the One Piece connoisseur here, so you will know a lot better than I would.

First question.

Who do you think will have the biggest impact on how One Piece ultimately ends? Shanks, Blackbeard, or Emo?

Blackbeard.

Yes.

And I, you know, that's kind of the way I feel, too, is like it's cool to see a different perspective because we're so used to seeing like, you know, the Straw Hats or like, you know, the worst generation or, you know, the bad guys like Blackbeard or like the Marines.

You know, stuff like that.

We're used to seeing like the conflict, you know, the fighting and stuff.
