I hope at some point BB sits on the Empty Throne, just chilling out and laughing "Zehahaha".

Here in this character thread we're here to talk about the main antagonist of One Piece, the one responsible for the events of the Paramount War and who's been rising as a threat for quite some time : Marshall D. Teach, aka Blackbeard.

What do you think of Blackbeard ? About his personality, powers, history and battles ?
What's your favourite moment with him ? What do you like or hate about him ? What relationship between him and another character do you find to be the most interesting ?

Blackbeard is easily one of Oda's absolutely writing masterclasses. The dual Devil Fruit setup is brilliant. He counters Haki/DF dependance by stripping powers away, then outputting raw destructive force. His dark mirror dynamic with Luffy especially their iconic meeting at Jaya, remains peak One Piece.
