The latest manga drop has exploded fan theories. “One Piece” Chapter 1154 confirms that the infamous Rocks D. Xebec is none other than Blackbeard’s biological father.
Creator Eiichiro Oda delivers what fans are calling “the biggest lore twist since the Marineford War.”
This monumental reveal repositions Blackbeard as a true heir to chaos, directly linking him to the legacy of the Rocks Pirates. It deepens the intrigue surrounding his goals in the Final Saga and reshapes his rivalry with Luffy.
Blackbeard’s Origins in ‘One Piece’ Chapter 1154
For years, fans speculated on Teach’s lineage. Chapter 1154 finally ends the mystery, showing flashbacks and pirate logbooks that verify his parentage.
One Reddit fan wrote: “With Rocks as his father, Blackbeard becomes the most unpredictable villain in ‘One Piece.’”
His erratic personality, ambition, and ability to wield multiple Devil Fruits now make more sense. Xebec’s legendary hunger for power clearly echoes through Teach.
