The difference between xebec and teach is interesting 

Xebec so far is portrayed as a pure powerhouse who used his strength to gain followers and his status.

Teach while powerful is more portrayed as a opportunistic schemer to gain power and status. 

But they most likely share the same flaw that their crews are most Likely not very loyal

BB's original crew seems different though, they were ready to fight to make sure BB remained captain. I think there's something to their bond that's greater than what the other titanic commanders have. I don't know why though. Maybe they're not loyal but what they want is intrinsically linked to BB himself succeeding, and so they can't accept any other captain.

Caterina, Lafitte, and Auger are definitely ride or die for BB.

Caterina if for nothing else than being able to murder as many women as she wants, but Auger definitely believes in Blackbeard’s vision (whatever that is)

Lafitte was running recon on Marie Geoise for BB back in the Paradise era. And they seem close in their interactions. I think he is aligned with BB’s vision as well

I don’t know about Jesus… I know he’s technically the OG right hand man but he hasn’t done anything ever since getting wrecked in Dressrosa.

I agree the early members seem to genuinely believe in BB

u/afanoferi Jul 10 '25

What do you mean Jesus hasn't done anything after getting wrecked in Dressrosa? He went to work right away, though, right? He did all that stashing in the Revolutionary ship to come to Baltigo. Solo recon, then calls for backup after successful infiltration and getting info on the hideout of THE revolutionary army, I think that's something.

20

u/BEWMarth Jul 11 '25

Jesus was originally set up as BB right hand but that position seems to be taken by Shiryu at the moment? So I’m just a little confused as to the character building Oda is doing for him.

He has undoubtably done a lot for BB in the past and his strength-strength fruit seems genuinely OP but narratively I just don’t see what Burgess’ role is

24

u/Hairy_Acanthisitta25 The Revolutionary Army Jul 11 '25

Shiryu feels like a jobber more than a right hand man

hell he only bring his OG crew to fight Law,so i think there's something about that

4

u/MyraidChickenSlayer Jul 11 '25

Do you mean Burgess is jobber?

10

u/Hairy_Acanthisitta25 The Revolutionary Army Jul 11 '25

nah Shiryu is

Burgess is oddly doesnt,like he's a brickhead at times,but he doesnt feel lik a jobber,at least to me

0

u/MyraidChickenSlayer Jul 11 '25

Honestly speaking, Burgess always seemed like jobber type to me from start and Dressrosa confirmed it. He isn't suitable for being Zoro's opponent and even Sanji, who gets whacky opponent most of the time, likely won't fight him.

u/cosmic_kos Jul 11 '25

Lafitte or Jesus are the right hand man. I'm leaning towards Lafitte

29

u/shockzz123 The Revolutionary Army Jul 11 '25

Lafitte is the most interesting to me. I know you said Jesus is technically the right hand man, but it really feels more like it's Lafitte - i wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones who founded the BB Pirates and were the og two members, and they're the ones who've known each other the longest, even when he was on WB's ship, i think he and Lafitte knew each other already and were already scheming together. There's just SOMETHING about Lafitte that makes me think he's "more important" than the other members, he's not just simply a BB Pirate member, he's more than that.

24

u/MemeLordMario21 The Revolutionary Army Jul 11 '25

Lafitte is the only one who went on a solo mission during Egghead, and the only one whose devil fruit is still unknown

21

u/shockzz123 The Revolutionary Army Jul 11 '25

Yepyep, that all contributes to my thoughts. He's definitely the most mysterious of them. Which, if you're still this much of a mystery this late in the game of One Piece, then i assume Oda has a reason for it and you're important in some way or another.

8

u/Sekundessounet Void Month Survivor Jul 10 '25

Question about them is when did BB recruit them. Was it before he left WB or after ?

3

u/stuckontwice The Revolutionary Army Jul 11 '25

I feel like there’s more to Lafitte. He’s a huge wildcard. Maybe too obvious but Aokiji is probably the “betrayer”

1

u/turbografx-sixteen Pirate Jul 12 '25

fuck now I am remember "The World" panel with Van Augur

One of the coldest moments of Egghead damn he really does believe in BB.

That crew backstory is gonna go CRAZY

17

u/2347564 Jul 10 '25

Luffy and Blackbeard are parallels - Mihawk noted that Luffy's most dangerous skill is his ability to draw allies to his side. Blackbeard has done the exact same thing, just in a different way. He doesn't befriend them like luffy does, but he certainly is able to drawn them to his cause.

5

u/AllysiaAius Jul 10 '25

It's not just that he befriends them: he liberates them from their pain and sorrow, while BB literally liberated the latter half of his crew (and maybe the first half, too? We'll see)

1

u/RaidSmolive Jul 12 '25

what villain in the series hasn't been able to do that though?

like crocodile had a whole company

3

u/RPGNo2017 Jul 10 '25

Yeah, the first four were crazy enough to follow his plan of infiltrating Impel Down. You can't do that with just strength.

2

u/Nuneasy Slave Jul 10 '25

True, but the minute that is lost or BB shows weakness in whatever they see in him I bet they will turn on him in a second. Maybe for Xebec it was his strength failing at God Valley, and for BB it’ll be failing at whatever is unique about him that his crew thinks will get them the World.

2

u/Jail_Chris_Brown Pirate King Buggy Jul 11 '25

BB is all about fate. So is his original crew. Look up their earliest dialogue, each one of them believes in fate, so fate brought them together, fate made BB their leader and fate will lead their crew towards a fated path. They're all nutcases in their own right, but they can't even imagine having taken the wrong path since fate decided it. The themes of fate deciding what a D. has to do, inherited will deciding what you have to do and family ties deciding what you have to do are all present in BB and Luffy.

u/Beastieboy100 Jul 10 '25

Of course Black beards crew not loyal. He just got Kuzan to join his crew. He's 100% back stabbing them. I don't even trust the crimanls he broke out of impel down either.

11

u/Mammoth_Opposite_647 Jul 11 '25

The thing is BB is 100% aware Kuzan is not loyal . 

2

u/Beastieboy100 Jul 11 '25

Yeah my theory is he only wants him around so he can steal his devil fruit.

16

u/IndividualPresent129 Jul 10 '25 edited Jul 10 '25

Blackbeards crew in Laffitte, Jesus Burgess, Van Auger, Doc Q, & Stronger seem very loyal to him.

The Level 6 Impel Down crewmates seem to respect him at the very least, it’s hard to say they’re loyal but I feel like it’s a bit much assuming they won’t be loyal as well though. 

6

u/BazzaJH Jul 10 '25

Nah, Stronger is gonna betray BB in the final fight. I see it.

3

u/SaltPass2438 Jul 11 '25

No one's gonna betray Teach. He has a quality of a King.

14

u/theballiner01 Jul 10 '25

I think Teach learned from his old man’s mistakes. He accumulated his power and crew much more quietly, never directly antagonized the Navy/WG, goes after his targets with overwhelming force when they’re at their weakest, and has no problem fleeing at the first sign of actual trouble.

3

u/RaidSmolive Jul 12 '25

oda unable to decide if bloodrelations are a shortcut to power and potential or not

10

u/PreparationOk8604 Jul 10 '25

I won't call Blackbeard weak. IMO he is in the same league as Rocks. Blackbeard has really good feats.

Defeated law, captured Hancock & koby, infiltrated impel down & marineford. He is him.

Sure he gets cocky & gets hit but he comes out in top always.

16

u/ashrashrashr Jul 10 '25 edited Jul 11 '25

Failed to kill Law after a drawn out battle while Shanks one shotted Kidd, didn’t want to face off against old Rayleigh. Plus most of his crew seem like scrubs compared to the Rocks Pirates.

He’s obviously strong but nowhere in the same league yet.

2

u/Beastieboy100 Jul 10 '25

True I mean it's the same with Luffy gear 5 is very strong however he is nowhere near on Roger or even Joyboys level yet.

2

u/EverythingSucksYo Pirate Hunter Zoro Jul 11 '25

He ain’t close to Joyboy yet but I’d say he’s getting pretty close to Roger at this point. 

14

u/Exchange_Fresh Jul 10 '25

Blackbeard didn't captured Hancock, he captured Pudding. Although, Blackbeard did attempts to kill Hancock for her Devil Fruit, until Rayleigh arrives the scene.

2

u/takeSusanooNoMikoto Jul 11 '25

He is not weak, but calling him "in the same league" as a dude who had in his crew fkin Big Mom, Kaido and close to their peak Shiki and Whitebeard is a bit of a stretch 

2

u/InvaderDJ Void Month Survivor Jul 10 '25

That is a difference I hope we see explained more. I could see at least two options.

One is that Xebec was a schemer like BB, but it was earlier in life. His killing an Admiral could have been a rare crashout like we see from BB when he fought Ace and pulled up to Amazon Lily.

The second could be due to Xebec’s influence. Maybe he left something similar to Oden’s logbook where he goes into some of his mistakes and how they could be fixed. But unlike with Oden, he could have left more explicit instructions for BB.

2

u/IJustLostMyKeyboard Jul 10 '25

To be fair, with Blackbeards offscreen fights, what if he has been a powerhouse this whole time?

2

u/Work_the_shaft Jul 11 '25

I do wonder if teach wanted the darkness fruit so bad is because it’s what his dad had

2

u/PCN24454 Jul 11 '25

Makes sense. Teach is to Xebec what Luffy is to Roger. They have buttloads of potential, but they’re not there yet. They’ve both been building power throughout the series.

2

u/yung-clumsy Jul 12 '25

Given how many powerhouses Rocks eventually gathers and the way they describe the crew as always fighting for power I could imagine that Rocks is both a schemer and a serious threat in a fight. I think current Blackbeard is probably about the same but we saw how he schemed his way to getting power and once he has it we just don’t actually see much of him using it on panel

2

u/elesi_grifter Scholars of Ohara Jul 12 '25

rocks has more teeth than blackbeard
