15 years later, Eiichiro Oda prepares the greatest revenge in one piece

Eiichiro Oda One piece he's known to avoid killing off too many characters, but that certainly doesn't mean Oda doesn't do it now and then. In Marineford, Portgas D. Ace had one of the most tragic deaths in all of One Piece. He died after a heroic attempt to protect his brother Luffy. With death comes revenge storylines, and fans know one already exists Luffy and Akainu over Ace's death. Recently, however, Oda has set up an even bigger revenge plot, and it's related Blackbeard and his father, Rocks D. Xebec.

Blackbeard was a huge mystery to most of them One piece series, but his background is finally explored thanks to the God Valley incident. Blackbeard's father, Rocks D. Xebec, was taken from him in God Valley. He was Domi Reversi'd by Imu and was forced to kill his own family. Rocks died a humiliating death in God Valley after being killed by Roger and Garp at his own request. Now, more tragedies may befall Blackbeard, all connected to one person, the King of the World, Ima. Imu will eventually face the wrath of Blackbeard's revenge as he avenges his massacred clan, his father Rocks and even his mother Eris and reclaims his family's long-lost throne.

Blackbeard will have the greatest revenge in one piece

Ima was wiped out by Davy Clan in God Valley

• Imu was killed by Rocks D. Xebce

• Blackbeard avenges his family and takes Imu's throne

God Valley is coming to an end One piece. This particular segment of Loki's flashback was intense and contained a lot of interesting new lore, especially involving Blackbeard and Shanks. Through Rocks D. Xebec, fans learned more about One piece the world, especially when it comes to the Holiday Century. Eiichiro Oda finally revealed line Rocks D. Xebec in God Valley and again in Blackbeard. Their ancestor is none other than Davy D. Jonesthe man who ruled the world before Imu came and took his place.

Since usurping Jones, Imu has been hunting down the remaining members of the Davy Clan. Every one of them, except for Blackbeard and Eris, were killed in God Valley. Rocks D. Xebca's death was particularly tragic because he was turned into a slave demon and asked to kill his own family. Fortunately, Garp and Roger took him out at their own request.

All of this was especially traumatic for Blackbeard, and it may not even be the end of his tragedy, as his mother could very soon meet a bad end in a flashback. This dark past of Blackbeard basically causes Blackbeard to turn his anger towards one person and that is Imu. Imu stripped young Teach of everything, including his clan, his father, and even his mother.

No wonder Blackbeard has been scheming all these years and his goal is clear. He takes revenge on Im and reclaims his family's throne. Looks like Oda has already set up One Piece's greatest revenge in this Blackbeard plot.

Blackbeard could kill Ima to avenge his family

Blackbeard wants to destroy Ima for several reasons. But one thing is certain, he cannot achieve this with his crew alone. As revealed by Rocks D. Xebec, one needs two Devil Fruits to overthrow the world government. They probably are Yami Yami no Mi, which Blackbeard already hasand Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, who is currently with Luffy.

In other words, to fulfill his revenge, Blackbeard will have to attack Ima when Luffy does. The two enemies will have to work hand in hand to defeat the greatest evil in the land One piece the world, Imu.
