have you ever thought that Blackbeard might not be entirely evil being part of the Declan he could be playing a much larger role in the story of the world than we currently understand it's possible that Blackbeard isn't simply chasing power for selfish reasons but instead has a bigger plan in mind he may be working to awaken other devil fruit users to prepare for an inevitable Showdown against the celestial dragons they don't willingly Ally with him he might resort to taking their powers by force while this Theory might seem far-fetched at first it's worth considering because Blackbeard's true motives remain mysterious one Theory suggests that Blackbeard could possess crucial knowledge about the void Century something that may link him to Joy boy believe that Awakening as many devil fruit users as possible is necessary for Joy Boys return and for the final battle against the world government and the celestial dragons Blackbeard might view this Awakening as part of a greater strategy to topple the current power structure and reshape the world alternatively there could be a more personal side to Blackbeard's ambition may have suffered directly at the hands of a Celestial Dragon fueling a deep desire for revenge in this case Blackbeard's actions could be driven by anger and bitterness rather than a pure hunger for power his willingness to create chaos and darkness may not stem from a desire to be the ruler of the world but to dismantle the corrupt system governed by the celestial dragons even if it means destabilizing everything this perspective adds complexity to Blackbeard's character his goal may not align with Luffy's ideal of freedom but rather Blackbeard may want to replace one form of control with another his own he might see himself as a necessary evil in the fight to end the tyranny of the celestial dragons even though his methods are brutal and chaotic possible motivation adds depth to Blackbeard's character positioning him as more than just a villain but someone with a darker vision of Liberation making his role in the one piece World far more significant
