I don’t really care for it as a twist
Why does rocks will even matter if Luffy gonna oppose the world government anyway
Pretty sure Blackbeard has his will
If I remember correctly rocks wanted to be king of the world which we know is pretty much the opposite of Luffy
Didn’t Oda say Luffys mum won’t appear in the story? I might be wrong on that
Also I’m looking forward to the Garp and dragon confrontation and this kind of subtracts from that
I can see it happening but I kind of hate it
It gives another parallel to Luffy vs Blackbeard. They're already mirrors or opposites in a lot of ways, and it would be interesting to me if Blackbeard is the one to inherit Rocks' will even though Luffy inherited his blood.
It's like how everyone thought Ace, Roger's son, inherited his will to the point that he was executed over it but he never actually did, he was a guy with his own life and dreams and Luffy was actually the one who took on Roger's legacy. If this comes out and the government connects Rocks to Luffy, he's going to become public enemy number one while Blackbeard is the one they should be worried about. Or maybe even Blackbeard gets jealous over Luffy being descended from Xebec, the man he idolizes and named his ship after, and breaks from his grand plan to try and take Luffy out.
We know Luffy doesn't want to be king of the world or rule over anything but there's a pretty good chance becoming king is Blackbeard's true goal
