Blackbeard's SECRET LINEAGE Revealed?!?

Buccaneer Kraken or cus three people in one body or a new race entirely Marshall D teach also known as Blackbeard has been the source of intrigue and mystery for as long as we've known him since his introduction we were told that there's something not quite right about his body something that he proved when he managed to eat a second devil fruit and then lived to tell the tale a man who doesn't sleep and hasn't been able to since he was a child and now as of chapter 11 seven we also know that Blackbeard is of a special lineage well what does that mean lucky for you you have me your resident one piece Nut Job who likes to discuss these Mysteries as much as you do so put on your evil mastermind thinking zah hat we're going speculating but before we do make sure to hit subscribe because if you do in fact love one piece discussions then this is the channel for you so let's go through what we know about Blackbeard especially what makes him different and so odd it was revealed in his vivor card that Marshall D teach was born in the grand line growing up as an orphan buggy noted in chapter 966 that Blackbeard is known for never having slept in his entire life seemingly providing an explanation for a drawing of a young Blackbeard that Oda included in SPS volume 63 where we see Blackbeard as a child crying underneath the Moon light suggesting that rather than Blackbeard choosing not to sleep he is physically incapable of doing so it's more of a curse than Blackbeard's Choice hence the young boy is upset frustrated at his insomnia or it could just be that Blackbeard witnessed something traumatic a core defining experience that would shape who teach would become as a person when he grows up he was an orphan after all maybe it's a glimpse of how he became to be an orphan but I am getting a little bit too ahead of myself so more on that later we also saw in chapter 225 both Luffy and Zoro commenting that teach is not just one guy there's more than one in chapter 577 Marco also noted that Blackbeard has an odd body that teach isn't normal which is Marco's theory for how teach has been able to eat two devil fruits the yummy yummy no me and then also the gura gura noi successfully taking whitebeard's devil fruit even after having his own despite the fact that we were told that eating more than one devil fruit would surely lead to that person's death fans have also noticed that the way in which odor draws Blackbeard changes from time to time most notably the number of teeth he shown to have varies every so often but also his personality bouncing between cowardly and overconfident being at times Reckless other times shrewd and intellectual and now we know that he comes from some sort of special bloodline and these unique characteristics of Blackbeard have resulted in many speculations over the years given his Jolly Roger features three skulls we've also been expecting that this number three will be significant to his character in particular that he will acquire a third devil fruit if he doesn't have one already or that he's actually three people in one man's body there are also some other popular theories such as the possibility that he's a kraken or has a kraken devil fruit or that he's a curus or has a cus devil fruit both these ideas stemming from the fact that octopi and the cus have three hearts or three heads respectively speaking I've also seen the idea that his Black Beard's yummy yummy no me that has allowed him to eat white Beard's guro no me the nature of his original devil fruit meaning that he was able to effectively cancel out white BDS so that eating a second devil fruit doesn't have the same effect on his body and now more recently ever since the introduction of a new race in the buck bers the possibility of Blackbeard also being part of this near extinct Buccaneer race has also been very popular and I too have shared my thoughts on this question of what Blackbeard's true nature might be on more than one occasion I've once speculated that Blackbeard might actually have the HTO Hitomi model devil or akma meaning devil in Japanese and in a very recent video I also considered whether Blackbeard really could be a Buccaneer and while I won't rule that out completely I can't say that I'm personally convinced that Blackbeard is a Buccaneer especially because of Saturn's words in chapter 117 because now that we know that Saturn knows of Blackbeard's special Heritage if he knew that Blackbeard was also a Buccaneer then he wouldn't call Kuma the last of his kind because the Buccaneers clearly aren't extinct but the purpose of this video isn't just to discredit other speculations and I will share links in the description of both videos videos where I've discussed Blackbeard and his particular nature in the past so feel free to watch those after you finish this video because I go more in depth there but for the purposes of this video I have to say that the dialogue in chapter 117 has gotten me thinking about this mystery from a very different perspective and so a very different speculation firstly I want to premise the discussion with this the choice of the word lineage or bloodline is very interesting because I think that that term specifically has a lot of implications now I know I may be reading too much into this it is after all just one word and who knows if we're even reading it accurately because translated it could mean something different to what Oda intended in Japanese which is why I did actually dig deeper into this which basically means I consulted our resident Japanese speaker seichi son and according to Mr seichi as far as I understand that word is usually used for familiarity or family line it does not feel to have a race connotation the first kanji means blood and the second means muscle but can also mean line which is actually just what I wanted to hear because that's the feeling I got while reading the chapter the popular ideas about Saturn's dialogue is that this suggests that Blackbeard really could be part of the buccaneer race or it's talking about Blackbeard family lineage and his family ties and the feeling I got reading chapter 117 was that Saturn was referring to Blackbeard's family line that he was referring to Blackbeard's ancestry unique Family Ties as opposed to Blackbeard belonging to a particular race which doesn't necessarily mean that Saturn couldn't at all be referring to Blackbeard's race because your species slra definitely affects your genetics and lineage but the use of bloodline as appears to be in Japanese that I would imagine was used to denote something quite specific as if Blackbeard came from a special family and you could actually compare this to when Saturn talks about Kuma belonging to the buccaneer Race For example because here he uses the word clan denoting a larger group of people than just one family line because he's talking about a whole damn race like you would about an ethnicity not just one particular family bloodline or when big mom invites King to join her crew because she's particularly interested in his lunarian Heritage she uses the word race again because that's the standard terminology for a whole race of people like I said I might be thinking about this and looking into it way too deep but can you blame me this is one piece we're talking about the series is a trove of minute details that have significant meaning and I did admit that I was a nut job at the very beginning of this video so I'm just going to roll with it so as soon assuming that Saturn was specifically referring to Blackbeard's ancestry then who or what family could Saturn have been talking about well the first and the most obvious one that I'm sure comes to everyone's mind is Rock's debec in addition to all the unique facts about Blackbeard that makes him so mysterious and intriguing that we've mentioned so far the man also clearly has a connection to the legend Rox debec Blackbeard's ship is called the saber of the back and these two are the two sore thumbs of the Declan that stick out oh my God are there actually only 10 Declan families did that analogy make total sense gold D Monkey D roxs D trafala D nefari D pcast D Marshall D Jaguar d uh enjoy boy D okay no that doesn't count damn it only eight man that would have been so awesome otherwise if it totally made sense but still you know what I mean while all the others known to belong to the Declan are portrayed to be the good guys of the story Blackbeard and zebec are the only two who have been suggested to be evil or bad Declan members not to mention that this relationship between the two figures was explicitly hinted by Oda himself in the root to laugh tale series supplementary material that was released about one piece Oda teased the possibility of a connection between Blackbeard ship being named saber of zebec signifying a deeper relationship to the legendary figure so then well what is this relationship between zebec and Blackbeard well how about Father and Son now let me explain why firstly Blackbeard is 40 years old only 1 year older than Shanks and 2 years older than the events of God Valley meaning that if zebec died during the god Valley incident as we've been told it makes sense that he would have left behind his son teach becoming orphaned as a toddler or at least losing his dad because he could have still had his mother but then again this is one piece we're talking about where moms are almost non-existent but in all seriousness this would be a great way to deepen the parallel and rivalry between Shanks and Blackbeard because we know Shanks is somehow related to figur land Garling a figure who seems to have been very important during the god Valley incident perhaps even being the one that killed Roxy zbec whereas Blackbeard would be zek's son but then why is his name Marshall D teach well it seems like zc was Public Enemy Number One during his Heyday meaning that following his father's death teacher's mom or someone looking after teach might have changed his name to hide his relationship to zc because they knew that it would place the young boy in danger if the world government or other people that zabc wronged were to find out that zabc had a child so Rox D teach became Marshall D teach maybe Marshall could actually be his mother's name and then this would bring about an interesting connection to portgas the Ace Ace who took on his mother's name keeping his father's name a secret and another parallel between Ace and Blackbeard being that while Ace grew up despising being Roger's son self-loathing and blaming his father it seemed like Blackbeard would have grown up hating and blaming the world setting the goal to avenge zbec and take on his will glorifying his father more than anything and this connection between Ace and Blackbeard would also mean that these two were almost destined to fight and not just Blackbeard and Ace but also Blackbeard's ultimate fight with Luffy this Dynamic being a reflection and a repeat of History to when Roger and GB fought against zebec which I also think is a more nuanced approach to the idea of a rivalry spanning Generations rather than Ace Roger's son being the chosen one and being Blackbeard's ultimate rival it's Luffy despite the fact that it was suggested that the Rivalry was greater between zebec and Roger rather than zebec and G another detail from chapter 117 that tipped me off to the possibility of Blackbeard being related to zebec in addition to Saturn's dialogue was actually caribou's interactions with the Blackbeard Pirate captains I know Caribou being a fanboy isn't anything new we've known that he was a Blackbeard supporter for some time but the level of his fanboying mirroring bolo's adoration and worship of Luffy really left a big impression on me because it suggests that Blackbeard seems to have this level of impact on other people similar to how Luffy does because it's been commented that Luffy's greatest skill is his ability to make friends and Inspire followers but Blackbeard also seems to have this Charisma which would make total sense if he was zek's son because we would have to imagine zc also likely had this sort of effect on people given his worthy followers and crew all legends who could have been Fier and pirates on their Lonesome but all chose for some reason or another to follow Rox de back not to mention van orar statement in chapter 117 that the Blackbeard Pirates plan and goal is world domination which on a side note I got total chills reading that panel but it's also obviously the same dream that zebec had according to sangoku zebec was relentless in his pursuit of becoming the king of the world something else that could also suggest the close relationship between Blackbeard and zebec is that Oda stated in an SPS that if Blackbeard was living in the real world his occupation would be archaeologist which on another side note sets off all sorts of alarm bells for robin our in series archaeologist who many have already voiced concerns that the Blackbeard Pirates would be coming after the straw hats to kidnap Robin so that they could read the poneglyphs but getting back on track it's particularly interesting because we know zbec was somewhat of an archaeologist himself or a historian at least which is close enough in my books we know z b was researching the world's Tabo which by World Government standards we know to mean digging up the past of the truth of the Void Century so like father like son and also in that same SPS volume Oda also revealed that Blackbeard in the real world would be Somalian which I find quite funny because I get the feeling that od's making a reference to the Somalian pirate PES which is probably one of the most well-known example of modern day Pirates and I also think that Somalian pirates get a particularly bad rep maybe it's just me but when we think about pirates from Days of your I get the feeling that that period or that history of piracy is romanticized and glorified we don't necessarily view it with the same lens of horror and disgust whereas because of the recency Somalian pirates feel more evil or dangerous like their their actual bad guys which is quite fitting because both zbec and Blackbeard are obviously singled out as particularly bad pirates and like I said the evil members of the D Clan I've also recently talked about how Buccaneers are a very particular type or group of pirates or privateers that Oda seems to have drawn from in creating Kuma and the one piece Buccaneer race but now it seems possible that he also used the Pirates off the coast of Somalia as a particular type of pirates in his creation of Blackbeard and I know there are more obvious historical Inspirations for both zebec and Blackbeard when it comes to Marshall D teach it's certainly clear that Odo was particularly inspired by a very notorious pirate Edward Teach who also happened to be known as Blackbeard and this relationship is actually very interesting because the real life pirate was also known as thatch meaning that his name seems to have been used as the basis of black deard but also thatch Blackbeard's former nakama whom he killed to steal the yummy yummy no me and Whitebeard or Edward Nate from whom Blackbeard also took his gromi so in a way in a Twisted devil fruit gobling way Blackbeard has become an amalgamation of three characters all of whom have ties to the real life pirate whereas rocks also seems to be based of a real name pirate Ro braziliano and I won't go through all the similarities or historical details but one interesting fact is that Ros braziliano simply disappeared at Sea his body never to be found suggesting that he didn't die I mean I'm sure he did die eventually he was alive and active like hundreds of years ago but the myth was that he didn't die and so for the purposes of One Piece maybe zebec is also not truly dead going back to Blackbeard's weird body and what makes him unique apart from being related to zebec the whole Roxy family could have some sort of strange physical characteristics something that allows Blackbeard to house or host the backc within him in some way that way Blackbeard not only carries on zek's will but is actually literally carrying zc which I grant is a bit wild but we do have the Funk Brothers in one piece or even if it's not quite literal I'm sure there's another way that allows zbec to be alive via Blackbeard because imagine if the theory that Blackbeard hosts multiple person alties or specifically three personalities is true and zabc is one of them zabc might be that ruthless and cutting side of Blackbeard while the real teach is a cowardly and weak Persona never having fully recovered from his trauma of losing his dad and growing up in fear of persecution whereas zbec is that coldblooded and vicious Persona and the reason why Blackbeard was so specifically after the yummy yummy noi in the first place is because this was originally zek's fruit fruit and if it was Z's fruit it would also make sense how zc was so powerful to get figures like Whitebeard big mom and KIRO and all the other legendary Pirates to follow him and it would also explain why he was considered such a threat that Roger and gar saw the need to put aside their differences and their ideals to work together to defeat him because we know that the yummy yummy no me is a broken fruit anyways that's where my head's been at the more I think about it the more I think it makes sense that Blackbeard is the Beck son but I guess we never know with one piece and you guys might have your own ideas so let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment below
