I've been seeing a lot of confusion about what Blackbeard could be going after as of Chapter 956. I'm here to essentially confirm to you that it is not:
- A former shichibukai
- Sabo or his Devil Fruit
While also telling you that what Blackbeard IS going after is Pluton. But first, a history lesson:
- In Chapter 203, Crocodile and Robin arrive at the Alabasta's Poneglyph with Cobra. Here, Crocodile demands Robin to read the information off of this Poneglyph. This Poneglyph is confirmed to contain the information of Pluton's location. Robin gave Crocodile false informtion on the Poneglyph, citing Alabastan history instead.
- Chapter 218, Robin confirms to Cobra that she lied to Crocodile about the Weapon.
- Que Water 7. There are multiple chapters that discuss CP-9's goals, so I won't reference all of them. However, to summarize: They were looking for the Original Blueprints to Pluton. These Blueprints were created, not as a means to make Pluton for evil purposes, but to make the weapon/ship again in case the first is revived or found.
- Chapter 375 explains it perfectly well: Franky can build a 2nd one, and Robin can find and activate the first that "already exists" with her knowledge.
- The two keys insinuate 2 different methods of activating versions of the weapon. One needs to be built (Blueprints). The other needs to be found (Poneglpyh)
- Chapter 399 explains something that I'm surprised so many people misunderstand. Franky destroyed the original blueprints because he finally trusted Robin and wanted to screw over Spandam's plans. He puts full faith in Robin here, taking a gamble by destroying these blueprints. If the original is found, the world does not have a countermeasure against it.
- After this point, Robin is saved, the world is back to normal right? Wrong.
- Nearly 420 chapters later, Cobra and Vivi are heading to the Reverie. Cobra means to ask the the Gorosei about the Poneglyph and the Nefeltari history:
- Fast Forward another 90 chapters to Chapter 908, where the Gorosei essentially say they intend to KILL Cobra. Not on that, Im clearly wants Vivi for some reason.
- Fast forward again to Chapter 956. This happens:
- We do not learn of this incident that chapter. However, what we do know from this is that a terrible incident happened after Garp left (so after the Reverie), and as a result, the Marines are using their FULL resources to handle it. This is huge. We also know that this HAS TO DO WITH ALABASTA.
- The other only things that were explicitly stated were that there was a death, an attempted assassination, and the abolition of the Shichibukai. Additionally, Wapol leaked something else. More on that in a minute.
- This same chapter, Blackbeard is shown saying if the Marines are going after it (an object/weapon/item), then he may as well take it for himself. This is the RELATED TO ALABASTA, judging by the fact that Garp says the Marines are spent dealing with this problem.
- Here is the biggest piece of information that came out of all of this. Koby mentions to Drake that the Marines can't "keep up with it all" even with the number of forces they have:
- That right there should tell you that their WORLD resources can't even keep up with it. This indicates that information about something leaked and the Marines are likely dealing with Pirates trying to follow said information.
- Why is the above likely correct? Because Blackbeard himself found it out, meaning its public information. Doflamingo is reading the newspaper as well, they all are.
Here is a summary:
Nefertari Cobra likely was killed in the event of him trying to confront the Gorosei. Somehow, during this incident, information the whereabouts of the Original Pluton leaked from here. This information spread to Wapol, who then leaked it to Morgans. This HAS to be the information Wapol leaked, because the other 3 pieces of news had nothing to do with information getting out that the world would see. Morgans is the type of person to publish this info. They have NOTHING to do with the Marines freaking out about lacking resources to "keep up with it all" or Blackbeard mobilizing as a result of what he found out.
As for the Death and the Assassination, I won't be taking guesses at what the public info was, but you can see who I think really died at the Reverie, public news or not.
Tldr: Blackbeard is going after the Original Pluton, and Wapol leaked it. It was specifically specified that Alabasta is the center of this problem. The Marines are dealing with Pluton's location being leaked around the World, fending off every Pirate going after the weapon. This is why they can't lend forces to Wano (save for maybe Sword) for the Rocks problem, they are dealing with the Shichibukai and this incident simultaneously.
Edit: Here's another little thing to think about: The Marines would rather deal with this rather than sending forces to deal with "Rocks". This indicates this scenario is much worse than Kaido and Big Moms deal. Oda is preparing for some world ending shit with Blackbeard.
