One Piece 1054: Blackbeard Has a New Crew, Turns Out Gecko Moria Becomes the 10th Commander of the Blackbeard Pirates

Ahead of One Piece 1054, Blackbeard is rumored to have a new crew on his Blackbeard pirate ship.

From existing theories to One Piece 1054, after becoming a Yonkou, Blackbeard recruited Gecko Moria as the 10th commander of his Blackbeard pirate ship.

This will certainly increase the strength of the Blackbeard pirate ship.

The following is a discussion of One Piece 1054 about Blackbeard recruiting Gecko Moria as the commander of the 10th Blackbeard pirate ship.

Citing the information in the Road to Laugh Tale Booklet volume 2 there is surprising information about the Blackbeard pirates.

Mentioned in the Road to Laugh Tale Booklet, the Blackbeard pirates consisted of 11 members with 10 troop commanders.

But the commander of the 10th Blackbeard pirates is still a question mark.

So who is suitable to fill the position of the 10th commander of the Blackbeard Pirates?

From the wild theory circulating among fans, there is one name that is strongly suspected to be the 10th commander of the Blackbeard Pirates.

One name in question is Gecko Moria.

It is known that Gecko Moria had met Blackbeard at his headquarters.

Gecko Moria came to Blackbeard's headquarters to save his subordinate, Absalom.

But Gecko Moria had to swallow the bitter pill because Absalom was dead, and his devil fruit was possessed by Shiryu.

At that time Blackbeard even invited Gecko Moria to join his pirates.

Here it appears that there is a strong desire from Blackbeard to recruit Gecko Moria.

Even though Blackbeard could have killed Gecko Moria and took the Kage Kage no Mi devil fruit.

Kage Kage no Mi can at least create an army of zombies that are useful to the Blackbeard pirates.

However, Blackbeard has another reason why he really wants Gecko Moria to join his pirates.

Blackbeard did want the power of the Kage Kage no Mi, but he already had the two strongest devil fruits of his type.

The two strongest devil fruits are the Yami Yami no Mi and the Gura Gura no Mi.

Blackbeard wants to recruit Gecko Moria in order to get the strongest shadow.

It is known that Gecko Moria can place a person's shadow within a person's living body.

This can be seen in the Thirler Bark Arc, when Oars was entered by Luffy's shadow.
Oars can instantly perform various techniques that are mastered by Luffy.

It was possible that Blackbeard was aiming for the strongest shadow to be inserted into his body.

One of them is the shadow of the strongest being, Kaido.

This is very possible considering Blackbeard is very thirsty for power.

Do you remember when Gecko Moria used the Shadow Ashgard technique which allowed him to absorb 1,000 shadows.

Gecko Moria instantly gain strength and body size increases instantly. Imagine this happening to Blackbeard.

Thus the discussion of One Piece 1054 about Blackbeard recruiting Gecko Moria as the commander of the 10th Blackbeard pirate ship.
