The Movements of Blackbeard and Red-Haired Shanks
The Movements of Blackbeard and Red-Haired Shanks
Blackbeard (Marshall D. Teach), despite the immense damage to Hachinosu, now holds Garp—the ultimate hostage, arguably a greater prize than Koby.
Teach is likely to leverage Garp for negotiations, securing safe territory for establishing the Blackbeard Kingdom or even furthering the “World’s End” scenario.
He will likely demand negotiations at the highest level, targeting figures like the FIVE ELDERS.
Teach has already assigned Lafitte a specific mission, which may involve eliminating the Revolutionary Army to curry favor with the Celestial Dragons and strengthen his negotiating position.
When Teach finally faces the FIVE ELDERS, the significance of his unique physiology and lineage might be revealed—though this revelation seems likely to occur later.
However, as previously speculated, Teach is likely targeting the Revolutionary Army.
Lafitte may soon deal a significant blow to the Revolutionary Army in upcoming chapters.
As for Shanks, the resolution of the Bartolomeo problem likely means he can now focus entirely on the pursuit of the ONE PIECE.
Teach’s uniqueness and Shanks’ past may be revealed simultaneously.
While Shanks is unlikely to reveal his past voluntarily, figures like Saint Garling of the Figarland family—or even a possible sibling of Shanks—might bring these details to light.
While Saint Garling has joined the FIVE ELDERS, reducing the chance of direct interaction with Shanks, a sibling of Shanks could still reveal these connections.
If this sibling is also the “Man Marked by Flames,” Shanks’ quest for the ONE PIECE makes their eventual meeting plausible.
Should this man indeed hold a Road Poneglyph, Shanks is bound to seek him out.
What about the Cross Guild’s movements?
