Blackbeard's True Origin as Rocks D. Xebec's Son
In Chapter 957 of the popular manga series One Piece, a significant revelation was made about a character named Rocks D. Xebec. This seemingly ordinary name turned out to be the missing puzzle piece that connected the dots and shed light on the mysterious backstory of one particular character: Blackbeard aka Marshall D. Teach.The revelation confirmed an unexpected truth—Rocks D. Xebec is, in fact, Blackbeard's father. While this may not immediately strike as groundbreaking information, when examined closely, it becomes apparent that this revelation holds considerable significance. Various elements from Blackbeard's character, such as his ship's name, his base of operation, his obsession with the Yami Yami no mi devil fruit, and his strategic actions, all align and point to this surprising familial connection.
Further evidence lies in Blackbeard's name and age. The middle initial "D" in Blackbeard's name is significant, as not everyone possesses this distinguished initial. Moreover, considering that Rock D. Xebec died 38 years ago and Blackbeard is currently 40 years old, it aligns perfectly with the timeline, indicating that Blackbeard would have been two years old when his father passed away.Later to survive he joined one of his father's disciples "Whitebeard".
Symbolic Significance of Blackbeard's Ship
The name of Blackbeard's main ship, "The Saber of Xebec," carries immense symbolism. Given the World Government's efforts to conceal any information related to Rocks D. Xebec, it is remarkable that Blackbeard named his ship after his father. The name "Xebec" is not a common one, further strengthening the connection between the two characters.Saber means a heavy cavalry sword with a curved blade and a single cutting edge. Additionally, the choice of the word "saber" implies that Blackbeard sees himself as the weapon or instrument of his father's ambitions, emphasizing their shared goal of world domination through power and violence.
Deliberate Links: Blackbeard's Base and Xebec's Beehive
the parallel between Teach's base of operation and Xebec's former base cannot be ignored. Rocks' base was known as Beehive, and interestingly enough, the Blackbeard Pirates currently reside in the same location. While one coincidence could be dismissed, the occurrence of three such parallels raises eyebrows and suggests a deliberate link between Blackbeard and his father.
Destructive Desires of Father & Son with the Greatest Logia DF's Power
Blackbeard's obsession with the Yami Yami no mi devil fruit serves as another piece of the puzzle. Rocks D. Xebec was an immensely powerful pirate, commanding the likes of Shiki, Big Mom, Kaido, and Whitebeard. It is only fitting to speculate that he possessed the Yami Yami no mi, a devil fruit known for its incredible drainess destructive power. Blackbeard's relentless pursuit of this particular devil fruit, even resorting to killing his own crewmate Thatch for it, hints at a deeper connection between his ambitions and his father's powers.
Coherent Strategy and Hidden Agenda
Examining Blackbeard's strategic actions through the lens of this newfound information adds a layer of coherence to his story. Joining the Whitebeard crew, orchestrating events leading to Ace's (His Father's Foe's) death, and even kidnapping Garp's disciple, Koby, can now be seen as steps toward fulfilling his vengeance and settling the score with the disciple of his father's enemy.Even I think Blackbeard kidnapped koby so that Garp will appear thus Teach could settle the scores with the person who assassinated his father.
With the realization that Blackbeard is indeed the son of Rocks D. Xebec, a potentially catastrophic confrontation between Blackbeard and Garp looms on the horizon. Given the high stakes involved, it is likely that one of them may not survive the encounter.
In Conclusion, the revelation of Rocks D. Xebec being Blackbeard's father in One Piece opens up a whole new understanding of the character's motivations and actions. The connections between their names, Blackbeard's ship and base of operation, his obsession with the Yami Yami no mi, and his strategic moves all converge to solidify this surprising familial relationship. As the story progresses, the anticipation for a climactic battle between Garp(who defeated Xebec) and Blackbeard grows, with the possibility of dire consequences for one of them. As Teach will make move in the future it'll be much clarified.Till then let's see what does Oda sensei do with Garp vs Blackbeard.
