During the long and epic run of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece, a ton of antagonist pirate crews have been featured. However, none of them come close to the notoriety of Marshall D. Teach’s Blackbeard Pirates; the crew came together after the Impel Down Arc.

Soon after, they became infamous when they were responsible for several heinous crimes in the Grand Line, including the murder of Whitebeard in the Marineford War Arc. As a result, the crew has become one of the most popular pirate crews in the adventure series.

Primarily because every member of the group is a walking natural disaster, and the group itself is synonymous with sheer unpredictableness. Hence, a rumor has been circulating on the internet that one crew member of Captain Blackbeard might backstab the crew in the near future.

Blackbeard Pirates Would Be Backstabbed By One Of Their Own!

Among all the pirate crews Eiichiro Oda has featured in One Piece, the allure and ruthless nature showcased by the Blackbeard Pirates make them such a formidable force. With a remarkable crew where each member is a feared figure around the One Piece verse, it makes them an equally terrifying and powerful force.

Featuring 10 members, with Kuzan being the newest member of the antagonist crew. However, mystery surrounds them because their ambitions might be unknown to the fans, and the sheer chaos that they bring with their mere presence.

The Blackbeard Pirates are one of the top contenders for claiming Gol D. Roger’s treasure that led to the rise of the Great Pirate Age. However, a rumor has been lingering on social media that, just like their commodore, one of his Ten Titanic Captains will betray him.

Initially, it was believed that the former Vice Admiral would be a potential double agent for the World Government. However, fans say otherwise in a post in r/OnePiece, where a user was curious about Laffitte’s Devil Fruit in the near future.

One of the key traits of the former sheriff is that he is a master of infiltration; several instances have been featured, including how he infiltrated Mary Geoise during the new Warlord of the Sea nomination, as well as in Impel Down prison.

As a result, it is strongly believed that Laffitte can be a covert operative for the World Government, and it would just add another unexpected twist to the series. Fans shared their opinion on the post, as they feel like the antagonist is going to get a taste of their own medicine.

For newbies who don’t get it, the fan is referring to the pigeon that used to be with Rob Lucci. The bird seemed quite intelligent, as if they were a real human. Moreover, after the return of Lucci during the Egghead Island arc, the pigeon was missing.

Since Cipher Pol is a very cunning organization, that gathers information in every possible way, it is quite convincing that the character can be that very pigeon from CP0.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
