One Piece: Blackbeard’s Most OP Moments, Ranked

by

This article contains brief spoilers for the One Piece manga.

Blackbeard is one of the most enigmatic villains in the world of One Piece, especially considering he appeared relatively early in the story. As the series nears its conclusion, details about his past are gradually coming to light, but his ultimate purpose and importance remain uncertain.

Blackbeard is widely considered one of the strongest characters in One Piece because he’s the only one who can wield the power of multiple Devil Fruits simultaneously. This article will highlight his most impressive feats and explain why he’s expected to be Luffy’s greatest threat in the final battle.

Blackbeard Defeats Everyone At Amazon Lily And Almost Kills Boa

Shows How Dangerous He Is

  • Blackbeard almost took Boa’s Devil Fruit.

Boa Hancock is famous for being the most beautiful woman in the world and has the power to turn anyone who looks at her into stone. Interestingly, this ability didn’t affect Blackbeard when he attacked Amazon Lily, suggesting he possesses a rare and immense power that allows him to resist even such a formidable ability belonging to the island’s empress.

I’ve come for you, Pirate Empress!

Blackbeard briefly demonstrated his immense power when he used his Devil Fruit to disable Boa Hancock, stripping her of her abilities. He almost stole her Devil Fruit entirely, but was driven off the island by Rayleigh. Even Rayleigh, however, wasn’t confident he could have won in a fight against Blackbeard.

Blackbeard Defeated Ace, Setting The Stage For The Marineford War

A Perfect Plan

  • A poetic battle.

One of the most pivotal moments in recent One Piece history is the clash between Ace and Blackbeard. Ace pursued Blackbeard after he murdered a member of his crew to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit, seeking to deliver justice. This confrontation ultimately led to the war at Marineford and Blackbeard’s rise to become a Warlord.

I’ll just prove to you that you can’t get away from the gravitation of darkness!

Although we didn’t see much of the fight itself, it clearly showed just how powerful and clever Blackbeard is. He defeated a very strong opponent who had both a rare Devil Fruit ability and the advanced skill of Conqueror’s Haki. By beating Ace, Blackbeard was able to make him a Warlord of the Sea, which then allowed him to exploit the chaos of the Marineford War and steal the powerful Gura Gura no Mi.

Blackbeard Defeats Law Due To His Strength And Tactical Brilliance

Blackbeard Took Full Advantage

  • Teach showed strength and cunning.

Blackbeard is exceptionally strong, but what truly makes him a fearsome opponent is his relentless drive to win at any cost. He’s not concerned with playing fair or using honorable tactics; victory is his only goal. This was particularly evident during his battle with Law.

Damn that monster!

Following the Wano arc, Blackbeard’s crew targeted the Heart Pirates, hoping to steal their Poneglyph rubbings. Blackbeard fought Law, who had just awakened his Devil Fruit ability, and while Blackbeard performed strongly, he still relied on his crew and underhanded strategies to win. It appeared the Heart Pirates were defeated as a result.

Teach’s Betrayal Of Whitebeard Changed The Series’ Landscape

A New Yonko Appears

  • The day Blackbeard became the world’s greatest threat.

As we’ve seen, Blackbeard is completely focused on getting what he wants, and he’ll even betray someone he grew up with to do it. He carefully planned for the Marineford War, using it as an opportunity to ensure the defeat of the world’s strongest fighter, and he actively took part in making it happen.

Navy! Allow me to show you my power!

When the chance came, Blackbeard and his crew attacked Whitebeard, killing him and allowing Teach to take Whitebeard’s powerful Gura Gura no Mi Devil Fruit. This made Blackbeard the first person ever known to wield the power of two Devil Fruits at once. Shortly after gaining this new ability, Blackbeard demonstrated its strength by nearly destroying Marineford, proving he was a serious threat and a potential successor to the title of Yonko.
