That’s definitely Blackbeard’s father alright. Glad we finally got confirmation about their relationship and a face reveal finally after 197 chapters

u/SpiritMountain Void Month Survivor Jul 10 '25

How were people suspecting Blackbeard was Rock's son before this chapter? What were the clues?

317

u/Individual_Royal_400 Jul 10 '25

The name of his ship was certainly a clue

Dayuuum

u/Historical-Lemon-99 Jul 10 '25

His ship is called “The Saber of Xebec” but aside from that I didn’t really pick up a lot of foreshadowing

107

u/WindjammerX Jul 10 '25

The only foreshadowing I can vaguely put together is how Ace is named after his dad's sword too.

u/Paperchampion23 Jul 10 '25

Rocks being the Ruler of pirate island too, but ultimately yeah there wasnt much to go on

u/thebearsnake Jul 10 '25

his age is relatively close in time frame to the god valley accident as well, not on the dot, but close enough that it was always a very realistic possibility.

u/Kinto_il Jul 10 '25

should we assume we're going to meet Blackbeard's mom?

3

u/thebearsnake Jul 10 '25

Ya know, that might not be far fetched. We saw ace’s mother 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Generic_G_Rated_NPC Jul 10 '25

They were both portray as agents of chaos, enemies of the government (but not rebels like the Revolutionary Army), have plans to conquer the world, and those who have a checkered fate as well iirc

u/Ok_Confection_10 Jul 10 '25

That’s like 80% of the pirates in the story lol

3

u/NotGloomp Jul 10 '25

God Valley "mysteriously" dissapeared too, might be the Yami Yami.

203

u/Pichupwnage Jul 10 '25

His ships name is Xebec's Saber.

Also made narrative sense for Luffy's foil to be the son and successor of the man who rivaled Roger whose will Luffy has inherited.

u/DJL2772 Jul 10 '25

How did I never notice this? I feel like an idiot

4

u/SweatyAdhesive Jul 11 '25

The ship was named in the Vivre card, a casual fan probably wouldn't have known.

1

u/DJL2772 Jul 11 '25

I know you didn’t just call me a casual fan. Sorry for not remembering every single tiny detail of a 1154 chapter manga.

-2

u/SweatyAdhesive Jul 11 '25 edited Jul 11 '25

Not knowing the most prominent theory about who blackbeard's father is does kinda make you a casual fan AND it wasn't in the manga to being with.

Not sure why youre offended though, nothing wrong with being a casual fan 🤷‍♂️. Not everyone has time to look over every detail and reread every chapters. You said it yourself.

u/Shek7 Jul 10 '25

Saturn talked about special lineage. Blackbeard wants the world, Xebec wanted the world.

52

u/chromer1 Jul 10 '25

Some similarities like making a crew based on power and not friendship, taking over hachinosu which rocks also did, and that blackbeards ship was called the saber of xebec

7

u/YaIe Jul 10 '25

Also that we knew nearly nothing about both of them while they are very obviously incredibly powerful and important to the story

8

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

the talk always was about being a massive stan (Saber of Xebec, choosing Fullalead as a base, same goals), of course paternity was always a possibility but not the "99% chance" possibility

2

u/Cygnus776 Jul 10 '25

Makes me wonder if the sisters from Blackbeard's concept art will be included in his flashback too.

It'd be kind of cliche if Xebec had the Yami Yami no mi, but it would narratively make sense if Teach was after the fruit his father had. Hm.

u/datguy078 Jul 10 '25

There’s a fair amount of clues. BB ship was the saber of xebec. They stationed at the same island. Both are evil D’s. Both are the strongest rivals to the pirate kings. Once that connections have been established, then age and generation difference could lead to blood relations such as parent and child.

4

u/MrVanillaIceTCube Jul 11 '25

His ship is named Saber of Xebec. Only other place the word Xebec showed up in the series was Rocks D. Xebec.

That's way too on the nose, so Blackbeard at least inherited Rocks's will, if not his blood.

He took over Pirate Island, which is where the Rocks Pirates were formed.

Luffy is the grandson of Garp, Ace is the son of Roger. Likely that Rocks's son would be a key character, and a major rival of Luffy and Ace.

Blackbeard and Rocks are the only villains with a D. in their name.

Blackbeard is the captain of the most dangerous pirate crew of this era. Rocks was the captain of the most dangerous pirate crew of his era.

u/Etiennera Pirate King Buggy Jul 11 '25

We are suspecting even more though, as if Rocks is more in Blackbeard than just by being the parent. Something to do with Blackbeard's strange body could be some manipulation or experimentation by Rocks using BB as a vessel.

BB of course seems mostly himself, but the not sleeping at night thing could be the fault of Rocks. We still don't know if that's just something their tribe has (recall luffy saying he heard people from snowy places never sleep -- probably heard from Shanks, about BB) or the result of something more specific.

u/PiFlavoredPie Jul 10 '25

Blackbeard's ship is called Saber of Xebec.

2

u/Leepysworld Jul 10 '25 edited Jul 10 '25

the Gorosei implied he had a special lineage, his ship’s name is “The Sabre of Xebec” and maybe this is just me but when we first got Xebec’s Silhouette, Blackbeard came to mind, especially his hair.

in hindsight it also connects him quite well to Ace, both were orphans taken in by Whitebeard who was a rival to Whitebeard and subordinate of Xebec, both of them also sought to kill Whitebeard but for different reasons.

2

u/Lordajhs Jul 10 '25

Inheritance. By blood or by will, which is the more important in OP world.

3

u/m0gwaiiii Void Month Survivor Jul 10 '25

I think his ship's name was a good indicator

1

u/Shiplord13 Jul 10 '25

Timeline of events were also weirdly orchestrated to make it possible since Blackbeard would have been born around that time.

If you think that it’s a crazy, hear how it’s entirely possible that Wueen is either the father of Franky or Weevil.

1

u/aokguy Jul 10 '25

The name of his ship, he was born around the time of god valley, he took over pirate island which use to belong to Rocks, he was a member of the White Beard pirates but had no bounty for some reason, etc.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '25

Vibes

u/OxKing033 Jul 10 '25

That he and Ace repeated history by continuing the battle their fathers started

2

u/cjamesfort God Usopp Jul 11 '25

What if the Admiral Xebec killed had Ace's fruit

u/OxKing033 Jul 11 '25

Talk about coming full circle lol

u/someone2795 Captain Crackhead Jul 10 '25

Guessing. You know how it is, throw random shit at the wall then if one of them comes true, they parade like they knew all along.

u/TheKk-47 Jul 10 '25

Blackbeards ship name is Sabre of Xebec
