The man’s mysterious past, his uncanny abilities, and the enigmatic aura surrounding him have always left us readers scratching our heads and yearning for more.

In this rephrased version, “One Piece” has reached an exhilarating point in its narrative, known as the Final Saga. This part of the series promises to highlight some of the most thrilling characters from the entire franchise. Characters such as the Four Emperors, Dragon, and key figures like the Five Elders and even the ruler of the world, Imu, are set to play significant roles in this storyline, making it all the more intriguing for fans.

Undeniably, Blackbeard is one of the key figures in the Final Saga who often pops up in discussions. His character, shrouded in mystery, has captivated fans for a long time. From his unique ability to consume multiple Devil Fruits and his mysterious link to Rocks D. Xebec, Blackbeard is a treasure trove of enigmas. Lately, in One Piece, hints about his special bloodline have been dropped, which might unravel some of the mysteries surrounding this character.

Why Blackbeard Is Special In One Piece

  • Blackbeard Could Eat Two Devil Fruits
  • Blackbeard Could Be Connected To Rocks

In the world of One Piece, it’s clear that Blackbeard stands apart from the rest, a point not easily debated by fans. Initially, he seemed like an ordinary pirate with exceptional power, but as more was revealed, fans came to realize that he’s far from typical. The first clue suggesting Blackbeard’s uniqueness emerged through the character of Shanks. Notably, Shanks asked Whitebeard to spare Ace from pursuing Blackbeard, hinting at a deeper connection or significance between these two pirates.

Recall Ace. I know he’s strong, but Blackbeard is too dangerous! – Shanks

Indeed, it wasn’t apparent to Shanks that Whitebeard didn’t initially seek Ace to pursue him, but that detail is immaterial. What’s crucial here is that Shanks recognized Blackbeard as a formidable adversary, and readers could see how challenging it would be for most people to confront him. In the Paramount War, Blackbeard left readers astounded when he consumed more than one Devil Fruit. He was the one who ultimately led to Whitebeard’s demise, and following his death, he even absorbed the Gura Gura no Mi, a shocking turn of events for fans since Teach already possessed one Devil Fruit at that point.

Consuming a second Devil Fruit went against the rule associated with these mysterious fruits, as it’s only permitted for a single fruit to be inside one body. Notably, even the ancient Five Elders, who have lived since the Void Century and are well-versed in the mysteries of Devil Fruits and the world’s secrets, have never witnessed anyone consuming more than one Devil Fruit throughout history. Therefore, Blackbeard stands out as unique not just in one aspect but many.

When someone asked about how Blackbeard consumed two Devil Fruits, Marco casually proposed that while it’s generally unattainable for ordinary humans, Blackbeard is no ordinary individual. His body possesses unique characteristics that allow him to achieve such a feat. Of course, fans are aware of exceptional bodies in the One Piece universe, and this could be linked to a particular race within the world, or Blackbeard’s uniqueness stemming from some other factor.

In the world of One Piece, Blackbeard’s unique ability to possess multiple Devil Fruits is deeply connected to his extraordinary physique. As fans are well aware, Blackbeard’s body isn’t like others. It can soak up damage much like a sponge, allowing him to keep fighting at full strength even when injured. Ace managed to wound Blackbeard on several occasions, even piercing flames straight through his heart. Yet, remarkably, Blackbeard endured and ultimately emerged victorious. In virtually every battle he engages in, Blackbeard appears to sustain severe damage, but somehow manages to come out on top. This pattern strongly implies that Blackbeard’s body is exceptionally resilient to harm.

Additionally, it is widely recognized among fans that there is something unique about the Blackbeard lineage in particular. This was subtly suggested in One Piece chapter 966 when the Roger Pirates collided with the Whitebeard Pirates. In this encounter, Buggy explicitly mentioned that Blackbeard does not require sleep. Connecting this to the Drum Island Arc, Luffy stated that in certain regions, people cannot sleep and will perish if they do. Consequently, Blackbeard’s bloodline appears to have a peculiar quality.

As a devoted fan, I’ve often pondered about the intriguing backstory of Blackbeard. Could it be that he hails from an extraordinary race or group, who are afflicted with an unusual condition – an inability to sleep? Perhaps, this peculiarity is the result of some experimental intervention, or a curse that binds them to this wakeful state, for fear that the dark entity within would claim their lives.

The unique status of Blackbeard was affirmed by none other than Saint Saturn in the Egghead Arc. During their encounter with Katarina Devon and Van Augur, Saturn explicitly stated that Blackbeard is exceptional, and so is his lineage. This implies that there’s something extraordinary about Blackbeard’s blood, whether it’s due to his heritage or his race.

When Will Blackbeard’s Truth Be Revealed?

It’s worth noting that Blackbeard is shrouded in many enigmas, particularly his ancestry. So far, what we know is intriguing: Blackbead could be linked to someone significant, such as Rox D. Xebec, or his lineage might be special due to a peculiar trait – they are unable to sleep, and if they do, something potentially harmful may befall them. This also implies that members of this unique race can wield multiple powers simultaneously, albeit at the cost of having no control over the entity dwelling within them.

The key to unlocking Blackbeard’s hidden truths lies within, and eager fans can only anticipate that these mysteries will be explored in detail soon. With One Piece advancing into its Final Saga, it won’t be much longer before Blackbeard’s secrets are delved into further, and fans can only hope that Eiichiro Oda gives special attention to this specific character among the Four Emperors, shedding light on him extensively. Every fan yearns for more insight into Blackbeard, and it is hoped that the Elbaf arc will provide it when he clashes with the sacred land of Marijoa or encounters none other than the red-haired Emperor, Shanks.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but feel the tension building in the Final Saga of One Piece! The time has come for all the enigmas surrounding our beloved characters and the hidden truths about the world itself to be unveiled. Secrets like the Void Century that have long puzzled us will finally be brought to light. All we fans need to do now is buckle up, sit back, and wait with bated breath for the grand reveal!

Fans can access One Piece manga officially and without cost through the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps, provided by Viz Media. The upcoming chapter of One Piece, titled One Piece 1132, is scheduled for release on December 1, 2024.
