Eiichiro Oda’sOne Pieceis full of surprises. Often, it leaves the fans speechless and spellbound.One Piecehas been running for 25 years, and even after so many years, it managed to hold on to its magic. Monkey D. Luffy is the main protagonist of the anime, but that does not stop the fans from taking an interest in other pirates. They sometimes also take sides with antagonists.

Due to Eiichiro Oda’s habit of maintaining secrets and revealing them when necessary, fans often create their own theories. There are instances when the theories were better than the original story. One of the mysterious characters inOne Pieceis Marshall D. Teach. Even after there being tons of fan theories based on him, they devised a new one, and it looks like they might be onto something.
Blackbeard Is Living Under A Misconception
Marshall D. Teach, popularly known as Blackbeard, is one of the Yonkos and the captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. He reached the highest position on the sea through crooked means, but the latestfan theorysuggests that he had a pretty rough childhood. It forced him to get to the top and change the world. The fan theory claims that Blackbeard was a slave during the God Valley incident.
When the slaves were saved due to the God Valley Incident, he was led under the misconception that Rocks D. Xebec came to save the slaves and set them free. As a result, he is following Rocks’ Will and trying to take over the world. While the Buccaneers believe it was Sun God Nika who would set them free from their miseries, Blackbeard thought Rocks D. Xebec to be Sun God Nika.

There is a popular picture of Marshall D. Teach sitting under the moon. The moon might be referred to as Figarland Garling, whose hair resembled a crescent moon. There is a popular theory that suggests Shanks is the son ofFigarland Garlingdue to their facial similarities. So, it would mean that he is the heir to the world, while Blackbeard, being a former slave, is the heir to the slaves.
Blackbeard Might Be A Product Of Experimentation InOne Piece
WhenBlackbeardwas a slave at the God Valley, the World Government might have experimented on him. The experimentation might be the reason why Blackbeard never sleeps and has extra durability. It was a way to make the slaves not to take rest and work harder throughout the day. But in doing so, it magnified the pain instilled in them. Even though they could work for longer, they suffered from unimaginable pain.
Blackbeard was the first generation of experimented slaves. It might be so that he is the only one alive out of all the slaves and was led under a misconception. Working tirelessly was the first sign that he would one-day plot revenge on the entire World Government. Moreover, Rocks D. Xebec, being the Sun God Nika misconception, led him to name his ship the Sword of Xebec.

But at the moment, it is still just a theory. UntilEiichiro Odaconfirms it, it shall remain a theory. WithOne Piecenearing its end and the Gorosei revealing their true abilities, it might not be long for more mysteries to be spilled on.
One Pieceis available on Viz Media.
