Blackbeard is one of the driving forces in the Final Saga of One Piece. Being one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, Blackbeard is in the quest for the One Piece and quite easily one of the Pirates closest to it. Even more than that, fans know that Blackbeard is an overarching antagonist of One Piece that Oda has built up since long ago.

As such, it is natural for Teach to gain attention from Oda as the Final Saga kickstarts. Now, One Piece is well and truly into its Final Saga, with Elbaf having begun already. Blackbeard is going to have a much bigger role from here onwards, and many secrets surrounding his character will finally be unveiled. Curiously enough, there is one secret that Oda has recently alluded to, and this one links him to the legendary pirate, Rocks D. Xebec.

Blackbeard’s Ship And Rocks Connection

Blackbeard and Rocks certainly do share some similarities. For one, fans were recently told that Blackbeard wants to be the King of the World, and Sengoku mentioned clearly in One Piece chapter 957 that Rocks wanted to be the King of the World as well. Their ambitions are somewhat similar and this implies that Blackbeard could potentially have idolized Rocks in many ways. There might even be a deeper connection here, when one takes into consideration the ship that Blackbeard sails on.
