What a chapter. I’m still disappointed that Rocks is Blackbeard’s dad, but that’s a proper introduction to him.
We can see his twisted nature clearly. There was a lot of nonsense about him being some sort of harsh but ultimately noble figure. He’s not, he’s a psycho. The bit where he attacked Loki to get his father’s attention, then started laughing about it, is brutal af.
Flashback within a flashback is wild. He’s doing the stuff I wanted Dragon to do at Reverie. Taking down Admirals, charging in and confronting Imu.
(Also, still can’t get over, in a good way, that Brook is so linked to the Imu plot with Gunko being the attendant).
Davy Jonesian Pirate? The Will of Davy? One Piece all the treasure of Davy Jones Locker? Was Davy Jones the evil D in Joy Boy’s time? Was Davy Jones Joy Boy’s real name? Is this going back to the Peacemains and Morganeers from the Romance Dawn oneshots? Lots to speculate about here. We can comfirm that knowledge of Imu has at least survived in the legend of the demon that cursed him, from back when we first learned about Davy Back fights.
We get a good glimpse of the traits that Blackbeard inherited from Rocks, hostage taking, wounding kids, cunning, backstabbing, force of personality to gather people under his banner.
And I really do like Harald and Loki, I think Oda’s done a much better job than with, say, Oden and Momo. Really hype without being over the top about it. I know a lot of people expect Loki to join Blackbeard as a Rocks proxy, but I think that it’s more likely that Luffy will let him see how their approach to life is wrong. Loki’s admiration for Rocks comes from serious self loathing.
Only, slight, sour note, don’t like Caribou being the son on Wang Zhi, same as my complaints about Blackbeard being Rocks son. Makes the world smaller.

Yeah but Yasheen then went on to say that his crew has rapists and necrophiliacs so that implied he only thinks his crew is lame because his crew is evil. That's why I pointed out that most pirates in this manga are bad. For example:
Kidd torturing and killing pirates who already surrendered and wanted to go home
Blackbeard trying to force transformed Bonney into becoming his concubine
Vasco Shot implying he wanted to rape and/or torture Boa Hancock
Catarina Devon saying she wanted to behead Boa Hancock and take the head for a trophy (it's also implied she beheads many beautiful women for that same reason)
Doflamingo being implied to have raped Viola
Bartolomeo cutting people's tongues off for no good reason and pissing in front of crowds for the lols (the latter is just public indecency which is really tame for a pirate, but still)
Big Mom threatening to behead Zeff and the other Baratie members, put the heads in boxes, and ship them to Sanji as a "present".
Kaido ranting about desiring to enslave women and children for his own personal gains and even trying to kill his own child.
And even the Straw Hats have done questionable things (mostly Nami and Sanji have).

Garp foreshadowed it all... The return of Rocks! 
I never imagined that he could have 3 potential sons in the present.
And his words to Imu that he would return take a different meaning now, all of his sons are coming to Mariejois!
This is bad news for the odd one, Shanks. His plotline likely ends in WG war, his death could be the big sacrifice of that war.
If Teach and Buggy are Rocks' sons, it could be plausible for Shanks to be replaced by 3rd Rocks' son, Man with the burn scar.
That way the Sun God will be surrounded by 3 Emperors who are all sons of Rocks.

First of all from now on I wont open any tcb chapter. I cant deal with these pop ups. From now on it doesnt matter if i wait 3 days i am waiting for official.
Also i love Rockss character. I like how Oda didnt made hım evil like Teach. Xebec is just chaotic neutral like Buggy.
Its a nice friendship Harald and Xebec has too. Lastly o am glad that Oda brought Davy Back fights. Its nice Xebec brought his crew lime that
