Well, the two most common names that rose from the conversation are Marshall D. Teach, popularly known as Blackbeard, and Imu. In chapter 1107, it looks like the manga artist teases the Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates’ ultimate goal.

The story received a shocking revelation, giving a massive upgrade to the antagonists. According to the chapter, Van Augur and Catarina Devon were dispatched to Egghead Island to complete a task.

However, after completing their objective, Saturn rises from the debris and notices Catarina and Van Augur, asking them why Impel Down escapees, including themselves, devote themselves to Marshall D. Teach. Van Augur answered the query with the simple phrase “the world.”

These two words have sent shockwaves through the fandom, because they not only showcase the ultimate goal of the Blackbeard Pirates, but are aligned completely with another heinous villain of the series, Rocks D. Xebec, who also wanted to rule over everything.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
