From Luffy to Shanks, several characters in the show have their eyes on the legendary treasure One Piece. The series, written by Eiichiro Oda, features powerful characters in pursuit of the legendary treasure. Of all the powerful and formidable pirates, Blackbeard is one of them who has his eyes set on the prize.
Apart from being one of the Four Emperors, he is one of the most feared pirates in the series. Although he’s a strong and formidable pirate, his ambitions could get the best of him before he reaches Laugh Tale. Be it his crew or his sadism, both could lead to his eventual downfall.
The Devil Fruit users in Blackbeard’s Crew are a liability for his One Piece pursuit
Marshall D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard, appears as an antagonist inOne Piecewritten byEiichiro Oda. He is one of the Four Emperors of the Sea and a former member of Whitebeard’s crew. Apart from being a Yonko, he is one of the strongest characters in the series. Additionally, he’s the only pirate who can wieldtwo Devil Fruitssimultaneously.
His character is inspired by the notorious yet famous English pirate Edward Teach who existed in the 1700s. To say the least, Blackbeard lives up to his notorious personality. This is clear when he kills Whitebeard and Thatch to attain thedevil fruits. He has an utter disregard for his crew as seen when he hands Ace to the Marines.

Although his devil fruits allow him to harness shock waves and darkness, Blackbeard has his vulnerabilities as well. This extends to his crew members as well. A YouTube channel named@The.Animazeexplained how his crew and their devil fruit weaknesses could prove lethal in thisvideo:
While most of his crew members are devil fruit users, Maki, Tori, and Kikipatsu do not possess any devil fruit abilities. Whether or not they are vulnerable to water is uncertain. Nevertheless, Blackbeard’s motives and ambitions outweigh his weaknesses and liabilities.
Blackbeard is close to getting his hands on the One Piece
Except for Luffy and Shanks, several pirates have their eyes set on the legendary treasure of Gol D Roger. Among them is Blackbeard whose ambitions know no bounds. From the siege on Amazon Lily to capturing Koby, his opportunism exceeds his loyalty toward his crewmates.
To add to that, he is among the pirates in the series who have thehighest bounties. Apart from that, some speculations point to him possessing around three poneglyphs. This is clear through his battle with Big Mom at Whole Cake Island, as well as Trafalgar D. Law at Winner Island. Furthermore, this adds to the plausibility of these speculations.

Besides that, his imprisonment of Charlotte Pudding proves his ambitions of attaining the treasure. Apart from Nico Robin and Kozuki Sukiyaki, the series hints at Charlotte’s possible hidden ability to read poneglyphs. Her cartography skills make her an asset for the Blackbeard Pirates. While there is no confirmation of Blackbeard’s possession of poneglyphs, his actions hint he might be close to Laugh Tale.
