Hey everyone,

Blackbeard is the enticipated main rival Luffy has for Pirate King. Many thought Kidd may be a challenge for Luffy to surpass, but the great contrast between their results in their first ever Yonko confrontation has made it clear that Oda decided to skip that part and make Luffy a better pirate all around as a result of his Rayleigh training.

It seems on the surface at least, that Luffy gained an advantage even on Blackbeard by gaining information from two Road Poneglyphs while Blackbeard isn't said to control any of them.

However, Blackbeard is a veteran of the New World in every sense of the word. He gained all he gained through decades of planning and hard earned experience, and now that he is regarded as one of the four Emperors, he probably commands more power than he ever did before.

There is two pieces of information revealed in the Zou arc which make me think Blackbeard may actually have copies of some of the road poneglyphs.

1) Nekomamushi saying in passing that there are copies of the road poneglyphs floating around. (It's wherethe Strawhats got the idea to copy it)

2) Oden, Momonosuke's father, who presumably had access to the Wano poneglyph and the Zou poneglyph, sailed on Whitebeard's fleet a long time ago. The same fleet Blackbeard sailed.

There is of course also Big Mom's poneglyph, and the fourth road Poneglyph of which no one knows the location.

So how many Road Poneglyphs do you think Blackbeard has has access to through his pirate Carreer? And how close is he to One Piece? Closer than Luffy perhaps?

What do you guys think?

In all seriousness though, I feel like he's still doing everything according to his agenda, he's not exactly "rushing" to Raftel because he wants/needs to get some things done first.

2) Oden, Momonosuke's father, who presumably had access to the Wano poneglyph and the Zou poneglyph, sailed on Whitebeard's fleet a long time ago. The same fleet Blackbeard sailed.
I think you got it wrong. Oden sailed with Roger (along with Inuarashi and Nekomamushi) not with Whitebeard.

But yeah Blackbeard is without a doubt the man who's closest to becoming Pirate King as of now, he has everything going for him.

Maybe he has copies of 3 of them, he needs only the one that is currently lost.

Why he's amassing such military power, while refusing to raid any other Yonko?
Big Mom now should be an easy prey, and Kaido gets lost frequently... and still BB won't declare war on them.
But he invaded Baltigo to obtain weapons.

IMHO He wants to enter into the Holy Land to seize the Road Poneglyph that was hidden by King Weirdhead.

Oden did sail with Whitebeard.; I think the fact Oden who knew how to write in the Ancient Language and Oden changing ship from Whitebeard's to Roger's implies Whitebeard and Roger fought to decide whom he sailed with.

As for Blackbeard, very unlikely not as close as Luffy because Luffy has acquired 2 Road Poneglyphs and will acquire a 3rd in Wano.

Blackbeard hasn't been to Big Mom's territory nor has he gone to Kaido's implying he has no Road Poneglyphs.

The ultimate decider after all would be strength. It's hinted Robin will become a more sought at target and I would be expecting Blackbeard to be going after her soon.

Luffy is the closest because of Robin, everyone else is far behind.
Mean Luffy has 2 already and has Nami's hex skills, so i dont see Teach being close unless he has the voice of all things or he studies how to read them even then i dont see how he would have gotten his hands on them to begin with

I am fairly sure BB will soon make a move and get the Road Poneglyphs from BM and Kaido somehow, no way he'll be lagging behind for too long

BB is said to be archeologist, maybe he know something about road poneglyph in the brief time oden sail with whitebeard. I suspect he already got the lost road poneglyph. And after luffy got the 3rd poneglyph at Wano. They will fight to get the 4th poneglyph that is in BB possession. BB will come to try steal/kidnap robin who have the info about the poneglyph after luffy managed to beat Kaidou.
