Marshall D. Teach: Blackbeard
Marshall D. Teach, better known as Blackbeard, is the captain of the crew. This ruthless traitor committed the unthinkable by stabbing his former captain Edward Newgate aka Whitebeard in the back. By orchestrating the capture of Portgas D Ace, he triggered the Summit War that shook the world!
Teach managed to eat two ultra-powerful Devil Fruits , which made him a nearly unbeatable monster:
- The Yami Yami no Mi , which gives him control over darkness.
- Whitebeard's legendary paramecia Gura Gura no Mi , with which he can cause devastating earthquakes.
With his big beard, his big laugh and his three-skull flag, Blackbeard embodies darkness and greed in its purest form. Having become one of the Four Emperors , this power-hungry pirate has only one goal: to find the One Piece and take the place of the Pirate King ! The ultimate challenge that Luffy will have to take on in his quest for the legendary treasure!
Jesus Burgess: The Champion
Who doesn't remember the fight between Burgess and Sabo at the Corrida Coliseum ? During the grand tournament in Dressrosa, Burgess tried to steal the legendary devil fruit Mera Mera no Mi from him. But the former wrestling champion of Dressrosa bit the dust against Luffy's brother. Since then, the commander of Blackbeard's first fleet has only one idea in mind: to take his revenge.
Burgess is a massive colossus who ate the Riki Riki no Mi, increasing his already enormous strength tenfold. When this giant gets angry, his punches shake the ground! His brutal and merciless fighting style fits perfectly with Blackbeard's philosophy.
With his bounty of 20 million berries, the Champion is a real human tank who crushes everything in his path. His wrestling techniques, like submission holds, make him a formidable opponent in hand-to-hand combat. Burgess is the brute force of the crew!
Shiryu: Shiliew of the Rain
Shiryu is the commander of Blackbeard's Second Fleet. The former head of Impel Down's guard was imprisoned on Level 6 of the prison for slaughtering other prisoners. Freed by Blackbeard, he joined his crew. He is a cruel swordsman who has no mercy. His cursed saber and his Suke Suke no Mi invisibility power make him a fearsome assassin.
During the Battle of Marineford, Shiryu fought alongside Teach with deadly coldness. Each of his strikes was surgically precise to cut down his enemies in the shadows. A style that fits his nickname "Rain", where he pierces his opponents before they even see him coming.
Shiryu is one of the most bloodthirsty pirates on the crew. With his complete lack of compassion, he will not hesitate to eliminate anyone who stands in his way. A terrifying opponent to face, even for the most seasoned!
From Augur: Supersonic
Who can forget the iconic scene where Augur shoots down birds several kilometers away in front of the astonished eyes of the Navy in Mock Town ? The commander of the Third Fleet is the most accurate sniper in the world thanks to his incredible Wapu Wapu no Mi !
Capable of instant teleportation , Augur is nearly impossible to locate and hit. His bullets come from nowhere to mow down his targets with pinpoint accuracy. A perfect fighting style for this phlegmatic marksman.
With a bounty of 64 million berries , Supersonic is one of the major assets of Blackbeard's crew. His supersonic shots can pierce any defense! Against a sniper like that, it's best to stay in cover if you want to live.
Avalo Pizarro: The Fallen King
Avalo Pizarro is the commander of Blackbeard's Fourth Fleet. This former king of a North Blue kingdom was deposed for his tyranny and imprisoned on Level 6 of Impel Down. Freed by Teach, the deposed king quickly rejoined his ranks!
Pizarro has devoured the devil fruit Shima Shima no Mi, which allows him to transform any environment into a floating island that he controls with a simple gesture. A formidable asset to trap his enemies on these shifting lands...
During the Summit War, Pizarro spread terror by collapsing entire islands on Marine soldiers. His cruelty is matched only by his thirst for power! Although his bounty remains unknown (it is said to be at least 100 million berries), this merciless deposed king is one of the worst scourges to have joined Blackbeard's crew.
Laffitte: The Demonic Navigator
Laffitte is the navigator of Blackbeard's crew and the commander of the Fifth Fleet. A former sheriff of the West Blue, he was banished for his excessive cruelty. Beyond his talents as a hypnotist, Lafitte is an outstanding strategist. He was the one who convinced the World Government to appoint Blackbeard to the rank of Grand Corsair after the Battle of Marineford, allowing the crew to operate more freely.
Laffitte is suspected of possessing a power that allows him to grow wings from his back , but the exact nature of this ability remains unknown. He is Blackbeard's right-hand man and most trusted advisor. Behind his mysterious airs and enigmatic smile hides a manipulative mind. With his bounty of 42.2 million berries , he is one of the most dangerous members of the crew after the captain himself.
Catarina Devon: The Dawn Huntress
The terrible Catarina Devon was once the worst criminal locked up in Impel Down and joined Blackbeard after his release. A major reinforcement for the crew thanks to her fearsome Inu Inu no Mi, model Kyubi no Kitsune. This devil fruit allows Catarina Devon to transform into a terrifying nine-tailed fox. In this animal form, she can use illusions to deceive her prey before mercilessly disemboweling them. A demonic power, just like her!
At Marineford, the Huntress demonstrated unspeakable savagery , rushing towards the soldiers to tear them to pieces. Since then, she has been spreading terror with Blackbeard's crew. This femme fatale is chilling, only the bravest will dare to face one of the most dangerous pirates in the world.
Sanjuan Wolf: The Giant
Who wouldn't remember the terror felt when seeing the colossal Sanjuan Wolf land in Marineford? The titanic giant was already one of the most feared criminals in Impel Down before joining Blackbeard. His size defied understanding, Wolf is so immense that he is mistaken for a drifting island! With a single step, this colossus can cause tidal waves capable of engulfing entire ships. His brute strength is on a par with his titanic stature.
During the Summit War, the Giant wreaked havoc by crushing soldiers like ants under his feet. A walking earthquake! Faced with such a monster, even the best have no choice but to flee.
Doc Q: The Sick Doctor
There's nothing like a ship's doctor to keep an eye on the health of Blackbeard Pirates! Unfortunately, Doc Q is far from being a cure... His nickname of sick doctor says a lot about his deranged state of mind.
This madman ate the devil fruit Shiku Shiku no Mi , a power that allows him to poison and sicken his victims with a simple touch. A cruel hobby that he never tires of! Doc Q particularly likes to offer poisoned apples, a true sadist.
With his bounty of 72 million berries , the doctor is one of the most wanted members of the crew. His fragile appearance and his horse Stronger are deceptive: he is a dangerous pirate, without the slightest ounce of medical ethics!
Kuzan: Aokiji, the former admiral
Who better to bolster the ranks of Blackbeard's crew than former Navy Admiral Kuzan? This perpetually sleeping colossus is actually a powerhouse who masters ice!
With the legendary Hie Hie no Mi, Aokiji can freeze the ocean for miles and turn any environment into an icy expanse. A chilling power, reflecting his cold and distant nature.
A Navy veteran, this man fought Akainu for the position of Admiral-in-Chief before leaving the ship, disillusioned by the corrupt system. His reasons for joining Blackbeard remain a mystery... But one thing is for sure: with his combat experience and mastery of Haki , Kuzan is now one of the most fearsome pirates in the world!
Crew Ships
Blackbeard's Raft
Before the Jaya Arc, the crew sailed on a raft made of four giant logs of wood tied together. On the sides were cannons and a large mast supporting the main sail with the crew's Jolly Roger. The members rowed to move around.
The ship was destroyed by the Knock-Up Stream but later repaired. However, after the Summit War, the crew opted to salvage a Navy ship to travel to Impel Down.
The Xebec Sabre
After the Two-Year Ellipse , the crew obtained a new main ship called the Xebec Sabre, whose name is a reference to Rocks D. Xebec . Its name and connection to him suggest that Blackbeard knows the history of the previous Pirate King and may be seeking to represent him in some way.
The ship has yet to be revealed in the manga , but it is now the fearsome main ship of Emperor Blackbeard's crew.
