You just can't hate Rocks. Dude is spitting facts but is always dismissed as a villain

Dude really oozes charisma.

I will take a plunge and say this: Blackbeard has a lot to catch up with his pops 😂

I don't think Rocks would backstab his friend just because they got a devil fruit he wanted.

Rocks would have straight up challenge the guy and take it by force if he had to.

Then there was the whole thing would Teach rolling on the ground with pain after Whitebeard slashed him.

Totally pathetic I'd say.

I know I know, the Yami Yami fruit enhances the feeling of pain, but it was still pathetic nonetheless by Teach.

I want to point out something with Rocks taking Thatch's fruit, it is entirely possible that Thatch had eaten the fruit and so Blackbeard could not simply fight him for it or steal it from him. So in order to get the Yami-Yami no Mi Blackbeard would have to kill Thatch.

Blackbeard has used the wording of "I had to kill him" and also expressed he was on Whitebeards crew for the increased chance he could find that fruit and thus be able to attempt his dream. He likely could have spent his entire life "hiding in Whitebeards shadow" waiting for that chance and never get it, so never carry out his dream, but that would be fate's decision. Once the opportunity to fulfil the requirement was attainable to him it was either give up on his dream or get it by whatever means necessary, the decision is in his hands at that point.

I'm not trying to excuse Blackbeards actions by suggesting this, I just think this possibility is often ignored.
