I feel like the memory powers would go hard if Blackbeard can capture the burned scar man. Blackbeard wouldn’t need to win him over or interrogate just make pudding pull out the memory of the location of the poneglyphs
Pudding's Memory powers are VERY important to Law and Kid potentially.

We never saw Kid and Law's Road Poneglyph rubbings get turned over, but, let's say both of them lost them, and Kid and Law have no Road Poneglyphs anymore.

Pudding can literally enter their memories, and just read the Poneglyphs through their memories of the Poneglyphs once her power has awkened. So, I have Pudding ending up with Law's crew to help him read Poneglyphs, and Kid getting a Poneglyph reader on Elbaf (possibly Lilith depending on how things go), since the Giants have been shown in this arc to be knowledgable of Void Century information with them saving Ohara's texts.

I was 100% sure Laffitte will be on Egghead, the last time we saw that guy is at the beginning of the Zou arc (not counting the flashback). We saw all other Blackbeard pirates multiple times since then, and we know all of their powers. Oda is really holding him for something special.
I agree, I've been waiting for Laffitte to do something significant for awhile, and this is a great opportunity for him. Out of all of the Blackbeard Pirates, Oda's only held back two, IMO; Doc Q and Laffitte. Doc Q having the highest original bounty amongst the crew fascinates me, and Laffitte just has some kind of energy to him.

We'll see what happens.

Actually, you don't need Lafitte here at all.

Devon can move easily anywhere because of warp of Augur.

And, Devon can copy any of the VP to get control over Seras.

Laffitte is nice here, because the BBP might not trust York fully.

The BBP have no proof York is really on their side, IMO, and want to play this safe. If York is on their side? Great. If she's not?

Let's say York plans for Laffitte to free her, then to use the Seraphim to take over the Blackbeard Pirates and rule them (we know she's a greedy girl, after all).

Laffitte can use his hypnosis to fully make York and possibly the Seraphim under his control. Any chance of York betraying them goes out the window, and, now that Catarina has touched Saturn, York is no longer in control here.

If York was freed, but controlled the Seraphim still, she could control the situation here. The laser grid is still up, and she'd have to take out Laffitte, Zoro, Lucci, Edison, Usopp, Nami, and Chopper with the four Seraphim, probably taking out Laffitte, then Zoro and Lucci, then the rest. York would still be in a great place.

By gaining Command Authority over York through Catarina touching Saturn, and then hypnotizing York, the Blackbeard Pirates can guarantee York has no ability to betray them.

You didn't get my point mate.


Lafitte is nice but even Devon can pull this.

She can copy any VP and then transform into that VP to control seras.

What would even happen if Catarina transformed into York and she and York both tried to issue commands at the same time?

Good point, though, you're right, Laffitte isn't necessary here, but it still would be a cool moment for him.

On battlefield you won't see any of the VP.

Command will lie with top officer of Navy which can get over ride with Devon impersonating as VP.

I’m just laughing imagining Blackbeard’s reaction

Lafitte: I’ve rescued one of the Vegapunks, who has incredible knowledge.
Blackbeard: That’s great, will help us uncover the secrets of the world!
Lafitte: And the Seraphim, who we can control thanks to York and Devon.
Blackbeard: Excellent, excellent, that’s some real firepower added to the crew!
Lafitte: And this giraffe man.
Blackbeard: …
Lafitte: …
Blackbeard: … Why?
Lafitte: I like giraffes.
