It's Jee-zus.

Which lead to the hilarious decision in like an early licensed game to localize it as "G. Zass" :v:

Who gets which ancient weapon for the final fight? Feels obvious that WG Luffy and Blackbeard end up having one each. WG has Uranus for sure, while Luffy has the only info on Pluton and Possieden. So does Blackbeard also have the power to tear down Wano's borders or does he somehow mind control Shirahoshi?

Luffy has Poseidon because he has to fulfill the promise to the Fishmen that Joy Boy broke.

And Blackbeard loving up Wano is a good excuse to bring Yamato back into the Armada

I wonder what Oda's perspective on Jesus/Christianity is. Even from early days there's been references (Sodom/Gomorroah as names of Franky's King Bulls) or Kuma carrying a bible. Now Kuma is literally taking on the pain of others which is a Jesus parallel if ever there was one let alone him being a "pastor."

He beat up some guys in the tournament arc, but yeah it kinda feels like he’s here to job since he got hosed up so badly by Sabo that he has to wear his luchador mask now.

while i do respect that some people in the one piece world should probably just have get what "makes sense", especially for people specifically targeting fruits to grow their crew and abilities, it would have been much funnier if jesus and doc accidentally mixed up their fruit so we got plague punches and this sick-rear end tired old dude who launches you to the moon if he happens to tap you

While Jesus was kindof a letdown on Dressrosa I think both Van Augur and Lafitte achieved some pretty incredible feats in their respective support areas and could have a real impact on the plot if used cleverly.

Yeah, it feels very appropriate that on the one hand you have the Strawhat Crew being a mix of odd abilities, haki users and fighters with devil fruits that need a lot of skill and work to make strong vs the Blackbeard Pirates being a full crew of people with devil fruits that just enhance their already existing strengths or are just very straight-forwardly strong without having to try.

Just like how Blackbeard waited decades to do anything before he found the "strongest" fruit instead of spending that time taking something less immediately strong and making it work like Luffy did. It's very thematic that Luffy's rival would rely on brute force and shortcuts vs effort and skill. I'm not sure if BB has ever displayed Haki, it would be a neat detail if he just doesn't have the willpower needed for it and that's why he needed the Darkness fruit so much.

Boring but reliable is absolutely Blackbeard's M.O. - fair fight against Whitebeard? Nah, let everyone else do the work then walk out and shoot him. Got a strong guy? Just give him the strong guy fruit, he's a busy man.

Blackbeard uses GameFAQs to find all the loot locations, look up boss fight exploits and min/max his party's stat builds. Luffy prefers to just play the game, have fun exploring the overworld and try poo poo out naturally.

Wow I never thought of it and you'd think he must be able to use Haki to do things like beat Ace and generally be as strong as he is. With how essential Haki has been proven to be in order to be strong in a fight in One Piece, I'd certainly enjoy Blackbeard subverting that by having literally no Haki and just getting by on darkness Logia protection and being a cheating bastard.

Blackbeard is possibly the most ambitious person in the series. A lifetime schemer that goes from zero to emperor all through events that he himself set in motion. Why would he not have haki?

He gave Shanks a standard cool eye scar at the top of Red Hairs game "And It's not like I was careless or anything."

If Blackbeard was coasting by on sheer brute strength then he has way more of it then he's ever bothered to flaunt.

Yeah I think he's always tried to present himself as less dangerous than he is, but he's taken down a lot of impressive names when he's been forced to. He has a very specific plan in mind to reach his goal and attracting more attention than necessary would only make it harder.

Yeah, Blackbeard is a confirmed Haki user now. Some people (including me) speculated that he wasn't because of his obsession with the Dark Dark Fruit (which has a fair amount of overlap in use cases with Color of Armaments) and his constantly getting hit and seemingly being caught off-guard (odd if he has Color of Observation).

That was just because those types of Haki did not exist at the time.
