The last chapter of A piece had many surprises for fans, and the main topic of conversation was the showdown that took place in Amazon Lily between the Kuja Pirates, the Blackbeard Pirates and the Marines. The Marines attacked Amazon Lily seeking to capture Boa Hancock for posing a massive threat to the World Government, while the Blackbeard Pirates’ hunt for devil fruits had brought them to Boa’s kingdom.
The triple battle between them caused much destruction and many casualties. Only a few people could stand their ground in the chaos and one of them was Blackbeard, a Yonko of the Sea. Boa Hancock’s strength surprised Koby and Blackbeard, and they both complimented her. Besides Boa, another thing that caught Blackbeard’s attention was Seraphim, the Navy’s replacement for the Shichibukai. As Blackbeard faced several strong opponents, he had to use a power he had never used before A piece.
Armament Haki. to use
In almost all of his previous appearances, Blackbeard mainly relied on his devilish fruit powers to defeat his opponent. While fighting Ace, Blackbeard used his Yami Yami no Mi to overwhelm the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates’ second division. Then in Marineford, Blackbeard destroyed and stole Whitebeard’s power with his devil fruit. After obtaining the Gura Gura no Mi, Teach immediately set out to destroy Marine HQ. To many readers, it seemed that Blackbeard was too dependent on his devilish fruits and would suffer if he had to confront an adversary mastered by Haki, but in the final chapter, all those debates finally came to an end. When one of the Seraphim attacked Blackbeard, the latter covered his left arm with Haki to block the attack.
While blocking a sword strike may not seem like an impressive feat, it’s important to remember that the Seraphim’s previous attack had cut the mountain in Amazon Lily in half. Of course, this means that the second attack on Blackbeard would have an equal amount of power, so the Yonko would have needed at least Advanced Armament Haki to block the attack. So if Blackbeard has Advanced Armament Haki, he may prove to be a nemesis for Luffy in the future. While this may be Blackbeard’s first time using Armament Haki, he has used Observation Haki many times in the past.
Excellent observation Haki
Blackbeard is surprisingly a good user of Observation Haki. When Blackbeard was under the impression that Luffy’s bounty was only 30 million berries, he told his crew that for a man with such a powerful Haki, the bounty was too low. Just moments later, Blackbeard saw Luffy’s new bounty poster showing that his new bounty was 100 million berries. This is the first time Blackbeard has been seen with any kind of Haki.
Blackbeard once again demonstrated his use of Observation Haki when he invaded Impel Down with the rest of his crew. On their way to the lower levels, Blackbeard met Luffy, who attacked him, but it wasn’t long before the Shichibukai defeated Luffy. However, Blackbeard complimented Luffy and told him that his Haki had improved since the last time they met. In addition to the confirmations in the manga, the vivre cards also confirmed that Blackbeard is the user of both Armament and Observation Haki. Currently Blackbeard has two types of Haki, so the question is will he also have Conqueror’s Haki?
The last villain
After his altercations with Luffy, the fans realized that Blackbeard will be his last opponent. Luffy and Blackbeard are different, but they share some common opinions, which makes their rivalry quite interesting. Luffy has a score to settle with Blackbeard, as the latter was responsible for Ace’s capture by the Marines. Luffy would avenge the death of his brother, who sacrificed his life to save him. Since Blackbeard is the final villain in the series, it would make sense that he would have all three types of Haki. There are a few good reasons for that.
First, almost all of Luffy’s opponents in the New World have had all three types of Haki-Charlotte Katakuri, Big Mom, Kaido, and Donquixote Doflamingo. It would be disappointing if the last villain only had two types of Haki, while those who appeared before him had all three types. Secondly, Blackbeard is a very ambitious man, who will go to great lengths to ensure that he achieves his goal. A character with enormous ambition and willpower will undoubtedly have Conqueror’s Haki.
Finally, Blackbeard is a descendant of the D. clan, and so far everyone associated with the mysterious clan has had the Conqueror’s Haki. All these things indicate that Blackbeard has the Conqueror’s Haki. Blackbeard will make many more appearances in the series, and readers can expect Oda to unravel more mysteries about him. Needless to say the last saga of A piece will be intense and there is a strong possibility that Luffy vs Blackbeard will be the final fight in the series.
