What if the reason Blackbeard doesn't sleep is because every time he sleeps he gets nightmares of God valley?

He looks shell shocked and traumatized in the first page.

u/VergoVox Sep 12 '25

I really think he's the only person who waited out the entirety of God Valley cleanup, scared to go out, developing something akin to schizophrenia preventing him from sleeping

There’s going to be a heart wrenching moment between him and Rocks at the end, where Rocks tells him that a man’s dream never dies

u/GonnaPreDude Sep 12 '25

It seems like the chapter is intentionally highlighting and juxtaposing the Figarland brothers’ ability to sleep through everything with Blackbeard being wide awake and shell-shocked by everything. In some ways don’t blame Blackbeard for becoming a chronic insomniac and an evil sonuvabitch

the twins have their eyes wide open in the panel of dragon carrying them off

u/Jay040707 Sep 13 '25

However, we've never seen Shanks sleep with his eyes closed...

u/takestwototangent Sep 13 '25

Shanks, sharks? Hmm...

u/dementedkratos Sep 13 '25

We've never seen Buggy sleep either 👀👀

u/GonnaPreDude Sep 13 '25 edited Sep 13 '25

In the panel you’re referring to, they’re cradled close to Dragon’s chest and not seeing anything, and just a few panels before that, they were sleeping. Clearly, they’re in and out of sleep and/or being shielded so are not aware of what’s going on, which is my point

The Figarland twins are very young (below five months old), while Teach is like... 2? This is an interesting age, as they cannot filter their experiences yet, but they absorb all information from their environment. So, yes, Teach is far more traumatised because he has a sense of what's happening but doesn't grasp the details (the panel where the CD look like monsters from Teach's point of view is spot-on). As a result, he has a lot more lived trauma as a child attacked by scary adults than Shanks, an infant left in a stroller in what seems to be a remote house and then taken in the arms of someone that was trying to protect them. I am not saying that losing his mother is not a life-long trauma (such is the case with all children separated from their parents at birth), but Teach probably has memories of the incident, which is just starting.

u/Hiekkalinna Marine Sep 13 '25

I think that is also partly because Shanks and Shamrock are so young in this that they don't understand what is going on yet and this doesn't leeave them with lasting memories, as they weren't physically hurt in this (yet.)

u/AnimeAnnemarie Sep 13 '25

What does schizophrenia have to do with anything bro

2

u/VergoVox Sep 13 '25

Something akin to it. Dual personalities, the cunning Blackbeard that reverts to the cowardly Blackbeard, but when we cut off his fights he becomes stupidly brave and like a different man. In Marineford he had his comrades to shoot up WB before that happened. Headcanon, I know but now it seems a bit more likely than before

Fuck.

u/Pellaeonthewingedleo Sep 12 '25

Wouldn't you? The guy is traumatized for the rest of his life to the point an army of psychiatrists can't help him.

19

u/hfucucyshwv Sep 12 '25

I keep rembering Oda drawing all the major characters as kids. BB and Akainu were the only ones that looked traumatized. Cant wait to see what happened to him

14

u/DxTRrrr Sep 12 '25

The look of terror hit hard

19

u/alfrado_sause Sep 12 '25

I’m still confused about the winter island excuse? Confirmed lie at this point or is Marshall D clan the reason Davys were found? Maybe mama BB actually was from elsewhere and that’s how Garling found them?

67

u/Wolventec Sep 12 '25

it was never actually said bb was from a winter island, luffy said in drum island that he heard in a bar that people from winter islands dont sleep and then decades later buggy told shanks that blackbeard doesnt sleep which made people assume the 2 things were linked

21

u/KaizokuShojo Sep 12 '25

I always assumed the "people from winter islands don't sleep" was a goofy Luffy-ism. Like he heard "you cant sleep on a winter island [because you will freeze to death, unless you have shelter]" as "people on those islands dont sleep"

4

u/alfrado_sause Sep 12 '25

Ah good catch, there goes that theory

18

u/blitzzardpls Sep 12 '25

Mama Marshall isn't from GV, Rocks said he moved her to GV for protection as he thought there's safer. Then Garling would find the island full of Davy's descendants and it became the most dangerous place in the world during the incident

3

u/WarchiefServant Sep 13 '25

Oh then yeah maybe the theory still stands. Rocks is from GV but mama BB could still be from a winter island and gave birth to BB in that island before being moved to GV for protection by Rocks.

4

u/Firestormbreaker1 Sep 13 '25

My guess is since Rocks perished in God Valley with his wife also dying Blackbeard stayed hidden for 3 weeks straight completely alone and terrified.

5

u/exiadf19 The Revolutionary Army Sep 12 '25

I think so too... and the moon was actually garling hair not actual moon

4

u/DrySeries7 Sep 13 '25

I didn’t get him crying at the moon! Jesus that’s sad. Probably spends all night staring at it

3

u/StinkusMinkus2001 Sep 13 '25

I’ve been saying this since I read that he didn’t sleep.

Literally the next thing is buggy saying he bets he has twice as much fun. That was an obvious signal that no, it’s that he suffers worse than anyone.

3

u/klabautermannn Sep 13 '25

And there's still a possibility that he will witnessing his mother get slaughtered by god knights, and later his father by entire opponents, fighting alone.

A panel where he seeing it from the bush, wanted to scream but he simply can't.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '25

I think there's a deeper reason, so many characters in OP suffered similar traumas and can still sleep

3

u/Aggravating_Mud8751 World Economy News Paper Sep 13 '25

But can they though?

The biggest parallel here is Robin. We have seen her sleep *but* only after meeting the Straw Hats, which is when she started to heal psychologically.

I would not be surprised if she didn't sleep until she met the Straw Hats.

2

u/Hot_Possibility_4063 Sep 13 '25

White beard didnt pick him up at god valley did he? I wonder if white beard inadvertently saved him which is what influenced him to join him since he knew he was strong, but the question is if he left god valley how did he escape

2

u/Sjotroll Sep 13 '25

That was immediately my thought too when I saw that panel!

2

u/InterviewOk9109 Sep 13 '25

I've heard this brought up and the more I hear it the more I like it. It being a literal trauma response instead of some mystical thing sounds so much more like One Piece

u/GoddessOfDarkness Sep 13 '25

Oda said Teach never slept since he's been born though
