If only Blackbeard had a parental figure in his life.

u/cheosblade 25d ago

He did, and he murdered him

One group actually actively hunting marines by issuing their own bounty system

One group is actively trying to expand and make their own chaotic empire/kingdom

One group is just enjoying traveling/adventuring but constantly causing headache to world govt.

One group have rather stable, safe, reasonable empire but about to set sail for One Piece.

compare to the old 4,

at least 3 is a stable leader with Whitebeard, Shanks and Bigmom having rather prosperous territory.

only one Kaidou who constantly warring and stockpiling weaponry.

36

u/Filmologic 25d ago

But even Kaido didn't really do much outside of Wano, and especially not outside the New World. He was preparing for war, and could've relatively easily conquered most if not any of the Blues, but he kept to himself until he was able to topple the world government itself.

25

u/zyh0 25d ago

The previous emperors were in a giant stalemate since none of them could act on the other without leaving their territories. Whitebeard had no interest in the One Piece, he just defended his islands. Although Whitebeard did want vengeance on Kaido for Oden but they were afraid of the civilian casualties.

To build on your point, that's why Cracker made the comment that barely anyone has heard Big Mom's voice let alone seen her in real life. They RARELY leave their territories. Even when Blackbeard joined, he didn't act until Luffy caused enough chaos in Whole Cake Island for Big Mom to leave her territory.

No way shanks really wants the one piece, he just wants to man up ruffy in disguise. (Conspiricy theory)

Also I think there was an option to make your own flair, and that’s what I did.

Nice, I'm on mobile though and I don't even think I can get a flair, and if I can than I don't know how

They were waiting for the poneglyphs and someone to read them though.

u/aslan042 Sailing the Grand Line 25d ago

Yeah and whats the use of having poneglyph imprints if no one can read except robin

2

u/Young_Cato_the_Elder 25d ago

Big Mom is trying to train Pudding to read it by awakening DF and Kaido thought someone in Wano could read or hear it since they made it.

2

u/aslan042 Sailing the Grand Line 25d ago

I guess thats why he had momonosuke imprisoned

3

u/canchin 25d ago

It's easy to forget since Kaido and Big Mom teamed up at the end, but the original 4 emps were caught in a deadlock in the New World. Each had expansive territory that if ever encroached would have most likely resulted in all out war. It's why the Navy had to always keep eyes on their movements.

To say Kaido and Linlin were just comfortable chilling is pretty silly

u/ZPD710 25d ago

Woah woah. Let’s not act like Luffy hasn’t fought some of the most secretive members of the World Government, or like Blackbeard doesn’t currently have the Hero of the Marines captive. Shanks might be tough right now, but so are Luffy and Blackbeard.

165

u/FBI_Senpai_Kun 25d ago

So are we going to pretend Fraudbeard didn't soil his pants at Bepo using a rumble ball?

78

u/ZPD710 25d ago

Straight up just plot so that Law didn’t die. Also keep in mind that Shanks was also worried about Kidd wiping out his entire fleet, he just had the initiative to defeat Kidd before that happened (Blackbeard already defeated the main threat: Law. No shit he didn’t expect his polar bear to turn into a giant monster and then slap the shit out of him).

63

u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 25d ago

I mean, not really. Blackbeard has kind of always been a bitch. The only reason he does anything is because his Devil Fruit is busted.

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't he basically shit himself every time he faces someone he can't hard counter or backstab?

33

u/ThisIsToMarkResearch 25d ago

Yea, his logia doesn't behave like others he can't become darkness.

9

u/Xystrel 25d ago

I'm kinda wondering if it'll be explained why it's still considered a logia and not just an OP paramecia

16

u/Altaccount948362 25d ago

It's still considered a logia since the fruit grants the user the control of a natural element found in the world. Being able to disperse and regenerate, although an unique property of other logia's, is not what decides if a fruit is considered one or not.

4

u/Comfortable_Cut_7334 25d ago

I'm pretty sure it should be 'a unique' since unique starts with the sound of 'y' and in this specific context, y wouldn't be considered a vowel.

1

u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 25d ago

I think that ultimately depends on dialect. Where I'm from it would also be "a unique", though.

2

u/Comfortable_Cut_7334 25d ago

Probably.

I know it's really unrelated but something about seeing 'an unique' really threw me off and felt really weird.

u/jackofslayers 25d ago

It can be both. Deffo a bit of plot armor keeping Law away from the final blow but it was also in character for Blackbeard.

Blackbeard only likes to take sure victories. He is definitely the type to just say “What is that power up? It honestly doesn’t look very strong but I have never seen it before so Ima nope outta here just to be safe”

8

u/ZPD710 25d ago

Well yeah that’s true too, Blackbeard is damn near scared of his own shadow.

3

u/Psychological_Fix304 25d ago

Yeah

Because he has a brain unlike some...

5

u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 25d ago

If that's the argument we're using then no one can ever shit talk Usopp again.

Blackbeard has arguably the most busted DF in the verse (Nika is only busted in the right hands so that's more subjective). If it's not cowardly when he bitches out then it's not fair to say it's cowardly when Usopp does.

u/Psychological_Fix304 25d ago

You are absolutely right

u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 25d ago

Plenty of other characters would've said "fuck it, we ball" and came out swinging anyway.

Justify it however you want, Blackbeard bitched out.

7

u/Le_mehawk 25d ago

it was made very obvious that shanks's fleet is rather weak, and it is mostly shanks crew that's holding it together. Kidd has enough fire power to wipe out small fly's in one go, and shanks prevented it because he cares for his people. Shank's wasn't afraid of any attack that would've been directed towards himself.

Also blackbeard had to use half of his team to defeat law himself, in an ( awesome animated) battle scene, while shanks straight up one shot a character at the same level.

8

u/potat_infinity 25d ago

shank's fleet is super weak though, hed be worried about literally anybody wiping them out.

1

u/Aggressive_Hall_466 Could I see your panties yohoho no really please show me 25d ago

Yeah exactly, I bet even that even Higuma could wipe them out LoL

1

u/Someonevibing1 25d ago

Remember shanks said his fleet is weak he just protects his friends

6

u/Andrejosue98 25d ago

He literally didn't

10

u/Godzillafan6489 25d ago

He did too against Rayleigh yet Rayleigh admitted he would lose against him.

Blackbeard is not afraid of his opponents he runs away from fights because due to his devil fruit he knows he is gonna suffer with every hit he takes.

1

u/SoftCreamer 25d ago

Fraudbeard gets tremors in his skin thinking about Shanks, not the other way around. Him not having a quick, get the fuck off me, against even the angriest of Bepo's, division one fraudling right there. No way Shanks doesn't cook him.

u/Laboon-fan Escaping Big Mom's Wrath 25d ago

I sort of see that and it would be mostly true if not for Blackbeard. Dude isn’t goofy, he’s one of the most scheming dudes in the verse.

u/YT_the_Investor 25d ago edited 25d ago

I think Shanks and Luffy would find it hilarious and have a good laugh about it. Blackbeard would have a dark laugh about it too, just because it would validate his worldview that the world is basically just chaos that doesn’t make sense and people should have ambitions because its possible to rise up even in unpredictable ways like this. So I think in a way it would amuse/delight him

5

u/Psychological_Fix304 25d ago

Nah, BB would be super confident against Luffy and Shanks because they became Yonko normally

But Against Buggy, he'd crap his pants. Buggy is an unknown he can't plan around him he must have some trick surely but how? And thus Buggy saves Shanks from his death at the hand of BB

4

u/Moorific 25d ago

This was my thought as someone who only casually follows the one piece story through synopses. “Buggy is a fucking Yonko?!”

27

u/MaskedMaidenOrz 25d ago

Don't know why everyone acts like Blackbeard is a clown or goofy. In lore he's pretty terrifying and can and will kill if he feels like it. He is almost always in control with some backup or underhanded tactics that puts him on top. Also the two devil fruits putting him in a class of fear never before seen.

u/Deathchariot 25d ago

u/Basic-Flamingo6962 25d ago

I mean, the old generation emperors were just chilling and getting cozy on their island while the new generation wants the one piece, because the one piece is real

u/aslan042 Sailing the Grand Line 25d ago

True bet

22

u/zDS166 25d ago

I'm confident Shanks is stronger than those other three and knows way more about what the one piece really is

But I still laughed

u/Disastrous-Answer151 25d ago

I think Kaido > Shanks

1

u/zDS166 25d ago

Idkkkkk I think shanks hid his power and will be one of Luffys final fights

Who KNOWS where it's going but he could even be the LAST, it's likely Blackbeard but only Oda knows at this point

It's been stated that they have fought and shanks won, I don't remember when specifically but I know it happened

u/Disastrous-Answer151 25d ago

Nope they didn't fighted here only we know Shanks stopped Kaido here but there was no battle.

2

u/case_oh-isfat 25d ago

Well think about it this way. If Kaido is stronger than shanks than that means that Luffy and the team he brought together to beat kaido would beat shanks, and that would mean he's going to give shanks the strawhat soon, but he's not in laughtale yet and nothing has pointed to him giving his hat back soon

1

u/Disastrous-Answer151 25d ago

Wano squad can beat any Yonko right now so it's normal. Also we are close to end of the One Piece, probably Luffy and Shanks fight each other then Luffy give the straw hat. But this just a theory so doesn't mean any sense right now.

1

u/Disastrous-Answer151 25d ago

Also, you touched on a topic unrelated to our discussion.

u/case_oh-isfat 25d ago

2

u/Loros_Silvers Firm Uta Defender 25d ago

Ayo that not true. Luffy has power over a large fleet and friends in many places like Royalty. Teach is making direct moves to influance the world and has the hero of the marines captive and a crew made of monsters, Shanks is no joke and Buggy, while his crew is the weakest one among the emperors, with Mihawk being the sole reason why top tiers are actually scared of them (sorry croc but it's post TS Lugias are nerfed) but buggy has MASSIVE influance over the world. New emperors are not joking.

u/Poder-da-Amizade 25d ago

E×FJ indicates that person likes to create social harmony and uphold the values of the social group that he's in, going in imense pain to go against it. This type is also very extroverted, charismatic and responsible giving them leadership in the groups that they're in most of times. ×N×× indicates that they understand thing in archetypes and abstractions, indicated by use of metaphors and abstract goals. ENFJs are also strong willed and know how to impose them.

That's why those three are this type.
