One Piece: Blackbeard’s Future Plans Regarding the Celestial Dragons
In this chapter, while focusing on the fate of the Straw Hat Pirates, the narrative also returned to Hachinose Island, where Marshall D. Teech (Blackbeard) confronted Pizarro for allowing Koby to escape, while acknowledging Kuzan’s efforts in capturing Garp.
The most compelling segment involves Blackbeard’s discussion with Lafitte at the Umit Shipping Headquarters, where Lafitte updated him on the plight of the Celestial Dragons, whose food supplies had been severely disrupted by the Revolutionary Army, potentially leading them to starvation.
As Lafitte takes pleasure in the Celestial Dragons’ distress, Teech instructs him to prepare for an undisclosed plan. The Revolutionary Army aimed to declare war by disrupting the food supply to these tyrants, but Blackbeard’s interference may rapidly change the narrative.
As one of the four emperors, Blackbeard operates under a mysterious code. With Luffy and Shanks opposing the World Government and Buggy aligned with the Cross Guild, Blackbeard might seek to collaborate with the World Government for his self-interests, similar to his past as a warlord.
Faced with potential famine, the Celestial Dragons could be motivated to accept assistance, presenting Blackbeard with an opportunity to provide food resources through Lafitte. This move could ingratiate him with the World Government, allowing him again to betray them, reminiscent of his past actions as a warlord.
Catarina Devon’s Role After Saint Saturn’s Demise
As events unfold, Blackbeard could ultimately turn against the World Government and execute a plan to infiltrate Mariejois. Catarina Devon could play a critical role in this scheme, given her ability to replicate Saint Saturn’s devil fruit powers.
This strategy may involve using the Pacifista model as a defensive measure, since Saint Saturn holds high command over the Pacifistas. With Devon’s ability to transform into Saint Saturn, she could facilitate entry into the Holy Land of Mariejois.
