One Piece: 5 Secrets of Blackbeard's Crew, Oda Wants to Join!

It turns out, there are several hidden secrets held by Blackbeard's group in the One Piece storyline that not many people know. The Blackbeard pirate group is currently a major threat in the seas. They try to rule the world of One Piece in their own way. What's interesting is that this group has several hidden secrets that perhaps not many people know. Anything

1. Have a Connection With Rocks

In fact, the One Piece story itself has not provided official confirmation regarding this. However, various things that appear in the story seem to provide clues regarding the connection between the Blackbeard pirate group and the Rocks group. Apart from the issue of strength, there are several other similarities between these two pirate groups. An example is the name of a ship.

The name of the ship of Blackbeard's pirate group is Saber of Xebec, which is similar to Rocks D Xebec. Blackbeard's group used Beehive Island as their headquarters, which was also the initial place where the Rocks group was formed. The hierarchy in their group was possibly inspired by what happened in the Rocks pirate group.

2. The First Giant to Eat a Devil Fruit

Sanjuan Wolf is one of Blackbeard's crew, which he joined when Blackbeard broke into Impel Down prison. When he was at level 6, Sanjuan Wolf decided to join Blackbeard after he managed to win the "audition" he did. So far, not much information is known about Sanjuan Wolf.

However, Sanjuan Wolf is the first canon giant to have devil fruit powers. The name of his devil fruit is Deka Deka no Mi, where he is able to change into a very large form. Even though he is a giant, the power of this devil fruit allows him to become much bigger. In the SWORD members' attack on Beehive Island, Sanjuan Wolf's size was considered almost equivalent to a mountain. In the war at Marineford, Sanjuan Wolf's height and bulk even exceeded the naval headquarters.

3. Name of Jesus Burgess Changed

Jesus Burgess was one of the first crew members to join Blackbeard. However, it is unknown when he joined the group. Recently, Burgess managed to get the power of the devil fruit, namely Riki Riki, which allows him to lift weights of any size. Previously, Burgess failed to get the Mera Mera no Mi.

What's interesting is that the name Jesus Burgess was changed when it was broadcast outside of Japan. The most obvious example is in the Funimation dub version, they changed his name to G. Zass. Even though the writing is different, the pronunciation remains the same. However, it is not known the exact reason Funimation decided to change the name.

4. Different Crew Character Names

The next hidden secret of Blackbeard's group is that Oda had a different design beforehand for the crew. When Oda Sensei was still working on the characters that would later become Blackbeard's crew, he actually had several ideas that were different from what we know now. In the booklet One Piece Green: Secret Pieces, Oda Sensei revealed that initially Blackbeard's name was Everything D. Teach and not Marshall D. Teach.

Van Augur's previous name was Van Wagot and Jesus Burgess's name was Lapaix Jesus. Vasco Shot has the real name Basurero Shot and has a Viking-like character design. Catarina Devon will have a different design, where she is much prettier. Oda also planned to present several other characters named King Joker, Kitsune, and Last Lion. Oda ultimately did not include these characters and preferred to redesign the characters as they are now.

5. Oda Wants to Join

And talking about Oda Sensei and Blackbeard's group, the last hidden secret is that Oda once said that he wanted to join the pirate group. This was revealed in his interview with Viz Media. Oda was asked if there was any pirate group – besides the Straw Hat crew – that he would want to join if he were in the world of One Piece.

Oda then answered that he wanted to join the Buggy pirate group, because the group was very free. However, if he had powerful strength, then he would join Blackbeard's pirate group. This also seems to provide an indication that Blackbeard's group indeed contains a very strong and terrifying figure.

Blackbeard's pirate group is currently the main focus in the latest story in the One Piece series, namely the Egghead arc. They also started to move to find the whereabouts of One Piece and various major events occurred since Blackbeard started to get involved a lot in this arc. Let's just wait, geeks, for various other actions from this pirate group.
