But seeing it not happening, he may have fantasized about doing it himself. Maybe when he learned about Rocks, he was expecting Whitebeard to follow his legacy. I believe Teach’s current intentions built overtime. I think Teach learned more about his family name D, the world government, and maybe some history about Whitebeard’s affiliation with Rocks. Since the time Teach joined Whitebeard, it would not be long until they meet Roger. So how come he turned out the way he is now? His reasons for wanting to join Whitebeard seemed innocent and genuine. Originally, Teach does not seem like the person with an agenda.
But his respect and adoration declined as Whitebeard grew weak. In their final battle in Marineford, Teach said that he respected Whitebeard and even wanted to be like him one day. This may be the reason why Teach has great respect for him. Teach’s main reason for joining us because he has nowhere else to go, and Whitebeard welcomed him. Although his crewmates were hesitant, Whitebeard allowed him to board their ship. One day an orphan kid came to them begging to be allowed to board their ship. Over the years Whitebeard pirates just continue to increase in number. Two years into Oden’s journey, Momonosuke was born. He calls Oden little brother and gave him a charge over the 2nd division. He does not apply the endearment son to him either. Whitebeard knows that Oden is not the type who will just follow someone’s command. That is why he calls his subordinates his sons. We know all that Whitebeard wants is a family. The need for division commanders arose when Whitebeard pirates continually increased in numbers. and now we know that the reason for that is because Oden left. It was only filled when Ace joined Whitebeard. The 2nd division of Whitebeard’s fleet has been without a commander for a long time. Spoilers for the upcoming chapter also confirms that Oden was the 2nd division commander of Whitebeard’s fleet. This flashback may also mean that Blackbeard will appear in the present time Wano arc. This may potentially lead us to understand Blackbeard more. Moreover, the upcoming chapter will also show us how Teach joins Whitebeard’s crew. If this fight happens in the coming chapters, it will surely be epic. Exciting new spoilers have just appeared reporting a possible big fight between Roger and Whitebeard. The upcoming One Piece chapter 965 will be out soon. Only those interested in spoilers should take a read. This One Piece article is based on spoilers.
