General Blackbeard Thread

Or his deep believe in leaving things up to fate.

What did Baroque Works jolly roger have to do with the members & Crocodile? Nothing.
BB pirates flag is the head of Cerberus, the creature that is a symbol of fate - one head looks in the past, one in the present and one in the future.

Fate is an important theme of his character and yes I did overlook that which was a mistake on my part, but I still think he'll obtain one more fruit since yami yami could represent the present WB's fruit could represent the past and a supernova's fruit could represent the future. The Borque Works jolly roger could have something to do with an event that happened in Crocodile's past, or seeing as how purple is included in the symbol that could represent Crocodile's motive to become someone of importance or stature.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Baroque Works were a organisation full of bounty hunters. They shouldn't even have a Jolly Roger.

Doesn't mean they didn't have one. I presumed it was just Crocodile's same one from piracy, and the wings and sabres really don't have much to do with Croc, unless all of the rest of his crew had been swashbuckling skypeians.

Alot of Jolly Rogers are balant copies of captain's looks, but some have different (cooler) desings and meanings. Like Kuja pirates is related to location name, Fishmen's come from a slavery mark, Law's is complete "hi i'm doin' drugs", etc.

And the main point here is, as seen in vol 49 SBS, that Newgate and Thatch, both of who BB killed to get the fruits, were named after real Teach, and as stated by Oda, were "just the names" -> steps in OP's Teach road to the top.
Your theory would have been right if one of the Supernoobs was named "drummond", but oops! Wrong!

Wait ,wait, hold on a second I'm not connecting the devil fruits to the names of the actual Blackbeard, I was connecting them to the characters presence in the one piece world. I saw it like this: Blackbeard a man who lives from moment to moment is a figure of the present, Whitebeard is a figure of the past a made man who has been everywhere and has gained the respect and fear of many, and the Supernova, an upcoming pirate who aspires to make something of his or herself in the future.

What she's saying is that so far BB has only taken DFs from characters with names the real life BB had and that's the connection with him and having 2 DFs.

Thatch being a name Blackbeard was known by and Edward being the other. Darkness and Quake DFs taken from them after he killed both. That is no coincidence and if he is in fact getting a 3rd DF this would be a pattern.

So if he were to get a 3rd DF the character would have to be named Drummond or revealed to have that name.

I see, then again Apoo doesn't have a full name.

[Redspear]

scratchman......

[Zik]

Brook Drummond.

Rummond D. Shanks

[Redspear]

hahahaha that would be sad.......

[Superbear 22]

Brook Drummond.

Rummond D. Shanks

Scracthmen just seems like an alias to me.

[Al!naJames]

Hmmm, now that you mention it... D is for Drummond

The newest OP chapter showed what Oda's romanizations for the names of the current BB Pirates are.

Vasco = Viz got it.
Augur = No one got this exactly, but scanlators were closer.
Teach = Scanlators got it.
Catarina = Catalina would be more in line with her namesake, but what the hell.
Avalo = No one was ever consistent with this guy. Wiki had Ablo, tournament used Avarlo, and I think Alina's sig uses Avaro, plus all the forms of it in between.
Lafitte, San Juan, Doc Q, and FAMILY RUINER Burgess are just as suspected.
Shiliew = No one got this. Just came out of the blue this one did.

Catarina was obvious, Catalina is an nonexistent name, as far as I know, Catarina is a name that exists
And its an awesome name that fits her well

[Gokuyuske]

It's too bad Blackbeard was trying to get rid of his ship. I think it's awesome. Good thing Akainu showed up.

[Cyan D. Funk]

Catalina is the Spanish version of Catherine. Catherine Hagerty was a pirate who served time in Devonport, Australia.

[SGRaaize]

Catarina is the Portuguese version of Catherine
Oh yeah, bitches, Portuguese wins again

Portugal: 1000000000
Spain: 2

I've seen people pair Brook with Lafitte as opponents.

I see the reasoning, it's just that Lafitte seems too...high profile among the BB Pirates to be matched with Brook.

I think people match them up because they both carry a cane..
