it might not be his race , but maybe his bloodline
I think it is Rocks + Marshall D bloodline; Kings of pirate island Hachinosu (perhaps also prior king of drum kingdom).

btw. In that chapters 1107 Devon and Auger - 2 crew members of Blackbeards crew -- got more done than entire strawhat crew in any 200 chapters. Copy Saturn, talk about BB lineage, take Caribou, leave.
 
Official French TL used the word "assassination" in the narrative box for what Xebec did against the admiral.
Risky choice IMO, should have went for a more neutral word.
Definitely bold. Worth noting that Oda used the active form of murder (殺害する, conjugated in the sentence as 殺害して逃走 to state he "killed the admiral and fled"), rather than his usual usage of verbs like 倒す to indicate beating/killing an opponent in a fight. Seems rather deliberate that Oda wanted the Admiral to be indisputably recognized as dead, rather than just possibly beaten or killed.

Would be interesting vindication for that translation if it turns out that Rocks went there targeting the Admiral for their fruit or something.
