What was Blackbeard going for? Something that the WG was also trying to get. Their biggest target was of course the revolutionary group that snuck into holy Maryjoa. Blackbeard wants to hunt them down for their DF's. Atleast Kuma's will have come in his possession for sure. It is Burgess' future fruit. Kuma carried a bible with him all the time, Burgess' first name is Jesus. Burgess is still way too weak for his role, Kuma's insane fruit can put him where he has to be (the weak diamond fruit wouldn't). Blackbeard found them, which is why Dragon couldn't contact them. This is why Oda created the conflict with Revos and BBP earlier. Has Blackbeard again captured one of Luffy's brothers?
