Do you think Blackbeard would've reacted the same way as Luffy did when Usopp asked Rayleigh about the One Piece?

My guess would be that Xebec somehow passed on his grand plan for world domination to Blackbeard, along with whatever knowledge he obtained that could make it happen, which is why he knows so much and seems to have a lot of very specific steps in his plan. Would make sense for Luffy's greatest rival to also be running on inherited will

He definitely would have asked

He was introduced sacking an entire country, two of his subordinates (Shiliew and Devon) are outright serial killers, he made the Level 5 prisoners kill each other for slots in his crew, and IIRC there is slavery in his territories. He's not that that bad a guy in comparison to Saturn, but I don't see how he has any moral high ground over, say, Don Krieg.

He was introduced eating pie and cheering on Luffy.

I think so too which gives Rayleigh's words more meaning if he just accepted whatever conclusion was fed to him instead of doing the journey himself.

He also tried to hunt Luffy down to murder him immediately after finding out he had a Warlord-level bounty for part of his plan tho.

Made much much worse by recent revelations regarding Bonney.

Honestly I genuinely forgot about that part. You do not, in fact, have to hand it to him. Coercion is bad!

Honestly think that moment made his character worse. Him being utterly amoral in terms of his goals but just being a goofball otherwise is way more interesting

Intensity, .mpeg gritty, Intelligence
If it wasn't for the setting of this story being mostly an archipelago chain of somewhat tropical pirate islands, I'd say that with all the dawn symbolism, the Sun Pirates, Sun God Nika, all the weird moons, the Gorosei having some sort of fatal weakness to natural sunlight, and Blackbeard being a kind of anti-sun, I'd say the One Piece is...somehow...the sun?

It's not, but I feel like it's somehow sun-related.

Like, the ghost of the sun. The spooky scary skeleton sitting on your lawn of the sun.

Or the most incredible late game SunnyD sponsorship deal ever.

lol most of teh major bosses of this mod are one piece characters and some are particularly funny becuase phase 1 of godfrey is Whitebeard and phase 2 he loses the polearm and has a bloody hole his chest and is missing part of his head

My only complaint with it was the use of black screen to avoid the particularly gory bits. Could have been done better imo

One of Blackbeard's ship is near Egghand island right? I feel like having Blackbeard nearby is going to allow for some precedent to have the buster call be completely counteracted and the island itself becomes spoils for Blackbeard.

I think maybe the Blackbeard pirates on that ship will help the Straw Hats defeat the Marines, and the shocking news they’ve been teasing is that the two emperors have supposedly“teamed up”.

Finally watched Monsters, that was pretty good and it’s interesting to get an OVA where none of the Straw Hats actually appear aside from a cameo at the very end. As someone else mentioned it is weird they just cut to black during the particularly gory scenes though (especially since all they cut is the moment the blade makes contact with the target).

Was the manga version any significantly different or was this more or less a 1:1 adaption?

Anything that would have connected it to One Piece explicitly would have been new since the one-shot predates the main series.
