One Piece: Oda Reveals Shocking Detail About Blackbeard’s Mother

by

This post contains spoilers for One Piece.

I’m absolutely loving what Eiichiro Oda’s been doing lately! He’s really diving deep into the God Valley Incident with *One Piece*, and honestly, it feels like the most crucial event in the whole story. He’s been dropping so many details, and it’s completely captivating!

The God Valley Incident happened a long time ago, but its impact is still felt today. Recently, the author of *One Piece*, Eiichiro Oda, revealed that God Valley was the home of Davy D. Xebec, a hugely influential pirate. Oda also shared a key detail about Blackbeard’s mother.

Blackbeard’s Mother Was From Ohara

Blackbeard May Have Ties With Ohara

  • Blackbeard’s mother may have been from Ohara
  • Blackbeard and his mother were enslaved during the God Valley Incident

Chapter 1160 of One Piece brought Blackbeard and his mother back into the story. We’ve only seen Blackbeard as a scared child before, but this chapter revealed his mother’s appearance. Fans immediately noticed a resemblance between her and Nico Robin and her mother, Nico Olvia, both originally from Ohara. Specifically, her eyes and nose look very similar to theirs.

Eiichiro Oda has revealed that Blackbeard enjoys both gambling and studying history. The people of Ohara were incredibly intelligent and always eager to learn, even if it meant exploring dangerous or prohibited knowledge. If Blackbeard’s mother was originally from Ohara, it would explain his own curious nature. Interestingly, his hat also seems to connect him to Ohara.

You won’t believe this, but as a kid, Blackbeard actually wore the *exact* same kind of hat as Nico Olivia! It’s got a lot of fans, myself included, thinking his mom might have been from Ohara. It’s a really cool connection, but honestly, it’s not solid proof, so we should probably take it as an interesting theory rather than a fact. Still, it’s fun to think about, right?

Blackbeard Is A Member Of The Davy Clan

Blackbeard Was Enslaved As A Kid

A major mystery in One Piece revolves around Rocks D. Xebec and his family history. For a long time, fans thought “Rocks D. Xebec” was his birth name. However, the author, Oda, recently revealed that Xebec was actually part of the Davy Clan, a group historically opposed to the Celestial Dragons. The Davy Clan faced persecution for centuries, nearly leading to their complete disappearance. By the time of the God Valley Incident, very few members of the Davy Clan were still alive.

The Celestial Dragons hated the Buccaneers for challenging their power, and responded with brutal killings. This is why Xebec kept his identity secret from the World Government – he feared they would come after him if they knew who he was.

You have to live through this! —Blackbeard’s mother

Because Blackbeard is Xebec’s son, he and Xebec are related by blood. Some fans think this connection might be why Blackbeard was able to eat two Devil Fruits without suffering the usual consequences. However, this is just a theory right now, and fans will need to wait for the author, Oda, to confirm if it’s true.

The revelation that Blackbeard is Xebec’s son changes how we view his motivations and actions. His ship’s name, the Saber of Xebec, clearly shows his admiration for his father and desire to follow in his footsteps. Furthermore, Blackbeard defeated Ochoko, who is rumored to be the traitor within the Rocks Pirates. If this is true, it explains why Blackbeard would target the person who betrayed his father. By defeating Ochoko, Blackbeard also gained control of Hachinosu, an island that once belonged to Xebec.

It’s now apparent that Blackbeard’s ultimate ambition is likely world domination, mirroring the goals of Xebec, who was defeated by Roger and Garp. Blackbeard has carefully planned to avoid his father’s fate and has already made significant progress. It will be interesting to see if he can achieve what Xebec couldn’t.
