Yeah it's possible. They seemed innocent as children at least ofc. Shamrock doesn't seem fully evil somehow, there's a bit of similar Shanks diplomatic rationality and calm to him imo. I think he cares for Gunko too, might play a foster father role to her like Shanks does to luffy and uta especially ofc.

That's a great point about Ace too.

I'm sure what Blackbeard witnessed here traumatised, changed and corrupted him deeply. When Whitebeard found him much later on, he looked absolutely traumatised/terrified and thus desperate for safety and salvation naturally.
Foster father?

Shamrock was a baby when Gunko was an adult fighting with his dad😭😭
 
Garling isn't down he'll rise again Xebecs wife won't know what hit her. Garp and Roger looking like grade A frauds right now and Sengoku is a better liar then Usopp motherfucker fooled the entire fanbase.

Also where the fuck is Sasaki and black Maria? Were they not popular enough to be Yamatos retainers? And no Jack? No info on the rest of the beast pirates after Greenbull beat them?
 
These next few chapters will really determine if Imu or Rocks' legacy (BB) are meant to be endgame, but I still think given the parallels between Shanks and Blackbeard this chapter that Blackbeard is meant to fall first after defeating Shanks, seems to the plan, because in the end Luffy is likely the person that overcomes insurmountable odds to save the world.

Blackbeard still to me "feels" like the roadblock to One Piece, like how Kaido was the roadblock to Yonko.

The only thing Im sure about now though is the God Knights are not endgame, rather I believe Elbaf will be the stepping point for them where Luffy learns how to counter their immortality before the Gorosei in the end.

I definitely think Shamrock is coming back after the GunkoImu situation resolves. Its definitely Oda's excuse to let Luffy "fight" Shanks without actually fighting him
 
Oda's writing in this flashback is really commendable, although there are a lot of bugs that bother me

A man who would do anything to save his wife and child and sacrifice his life

To a man who easily kills his wife and even looks at his children as tools

A man whose face looks like an angel is a monster

A pirate whose face looks like a monster is an angel

You can find more interesting parallels
If Rocks was still alive BB would have asked for Thatch’s fruit nicely and went back to his bed if he said no. :pepebuggy:
