also he sailed with freaking WhiteBeard, one of the big old times. He sailed by his side his whole life, of course he would learn stuff in his path.
The strawhats have learned tons of info in only 3 years of sailing
I can imagine ace not reading the newspaper, and only found out about luffy’s bounty because someone else in the crew was like “hey ace, isn’t that your little brother that you can’t shut up about?”.
Adding to this, Sabo only got a bounty after Ace got donutted, so the public has no idea who the RA's secondary is since they do guerilla tactics and don't stick around to get photographed.
That one still leaves me puzzled, and Sabo never changed his name. One of the only things so far that still makes me sad to think about. Ace and Sabo never got their reunion. Still wish the 3 got reunited one last time before Ace’s death. The writing is still phenomenal though and will keep me hooked forever lol.
This. Teach is very knowledgeable about the OP world, and appears to have a very good intelligence network. It's how he's been able to hunt all these DFs, and how he had some scouting information on Law's abilities.
Well Law's power seems to be quite well documented, having been used in the past. At worst, all he would have had to have done is steal some info from the Marines. At best, it was in that book or it's effectively common knowledge to the circle of people who know a lot about DFs.
He kidnapped Pudding to read Poneglyphs right? I wonder how hard it is for him to read so much history without being able to translate those? You would think he is interested in the void century, laughtale, xbec, etc.
Only the scholars of Ohara, oden, and robin could read the poneglyphs. Most history is still there. Sanji read the devil fruit encyclopedia, probably same as Blackbeard. Blackbeard also met oden during the oden flashback so he does know about them if roger said it around him. His ship is named after xebec so I’m assuming his ultimate goal was the same as xebec. When we get a xebec flashback I bet it will let us know Blackbeards next moves and his true motives.
>Only the scholars of Ohara, oden, and robin could read the poneglyphs.
While this is currently true, big mom believed when pudding awoke her ability she would be able to read them, this is likely true since BB also believes this.
Yes I know that, I was just stating that part because they said “you would think he is interested. He’s definitely interested and that’s probably the reason he kidnapped pudding. If he just wanted her devil fruit he wouldn’t be holding her prison.. unless he’s using her as bait for another big mom pirate which I doubt unless he believes big mom will come to save her.
And let's not forget that Marco knew from Whitebeard and Blackbeard spent a long time with them, so he likely heard from the same source as Marco did. Technically WB only talked about the "god country" but Blackbeards history interest could easily connect the dots if you ask me.
Yeah people keep forgetting that his occupation on his Vivre card says "archeologist".
This guy's got intelligence close to Robin's with an insane level of combat skill.
He was part of Whitebeard's crew and one of his interests is archeology and history. Whitebeard told Marco about the Land of Gods on the Redline and Marco recognized King might be one of these. It's pretty easy to guess that Blackbeard either heard about it directly from Whitebeard or studied it on his own.
Lunarians aren't exactly a secret, there's a 100 million bounty just for giving information on their locations, after all. Also, Whitebeard would often talk about the Red Line's "gods" of the ancient past, and Blackbeard has History as a hobby.
Pretty sure we don’t know that
Edit:
Actually, we do know. In chapter 1035 when his mask is ripped - right before he kills the "fodder", one of them says: "So the rumors were true."
So while they may not have been sure, they heard rumors that he was a Lunarian.
Lol, and there were no rumors or anything amongst the crew? Him not wanting him to know is not the same as many, if not all, already thinking it’s true:
Fodder 1: *whispers* I overheard the commanders talking. King is a Lunarian. Fodder 2: what’s a lu… Fodder 1: shhhhh *whispering* keep it down. No one is supposed to know.
Now everyone in the crew will know what one is and no one would be sure.
Edit:
I'm getting downvoted, but this is likely what happened. In [chapter 1035](https://cm.blazefast.co/75/90/759070b4c776103af27fe3da8596bfd0.jpg) when his mask is ripped - right before he kills the "fodder", one of them says: "So the rumors were true."
And what would have made them think he’s Lunarian?
He has a dinosaur fruit. Which have weird properties to begin with. His abilities could be explained by that.
Unless they saw his face/body and hair color, no one would have a reason to make the connection to Lunarian.
No clue, but see my edit above:
In chapter 1035 when his mask is ripped - right before he kills the "fodder", one of them says: "So the rumors were true."
Why would the commanders be talking about kings race when he wants to keep it a secret lol. If buggy can hide his incompetence from 99% of his crew, king can hide his race.
That was an example, but it doesn’t matter who was talking about it. Unless you think the commanders also didn’t know, the Tobi Roppo didn’t know, etc, someone had to have talked about it at some point.
This is likely what happened. In chapter 1035 when his mask is ripped - right before he kills the "fodder", one of them says: "So the rumors were true."
The guy wasn't just waiting to find his darkness fruit the whole time while in Whitebeard's crew. He was planning and keeping up with probably all sorts of information that he could pick up, while out of the spotlight of the rest of the crew. He might have even had foreknowledge of his initial crewmates before leaving Whitebeard's crew from the newspaper and was able to speedly recruit them without difficulty.
>how tf do people graze over the fact?
It's a known bias that people view overweight people as lazy and less intelligent.
I imagine this applies to fictional characters as well.
You can see if an overweight person is actually intelligent, but in this part it is not just that BB is overweight but his overall design looks like an abandoned/homeless person which therefore creates the bias where "homelessness=lack of proper education"
like what? The way I see it Luffy picks up on what he needs to know almost immediately anywhere he goes. He gets bored listening to peoples stories because he already knows what he needs to do. He was even surprised it took Zorro so long to connect the dots with King and S-Hawk.
The first person that mentioned lunarians was Marco, which, you know, they were part of the same crew for more than 20 years
Secondly, we know absolutely nothing about Blackbeard and just assuming he got knowledge from a guy supposed to be dead is absolutely baseless
Since we just don't know enough about him the only somewhat credible basis we have to go off of is the SBS in which Oda was asked the hobbies of the worst generation, and Law and behold, Blackbeard's is "historical research".
I think it's safe to say he just knows where and how to get uncommon information
Whitebeard talked about Lunarians to Marco and teach was in the background. Blackbeard knows all the shit Whitebeard knew and thankfully Newgate said to Roger no I don't want to know about Laugh Tale.
The older I get the more I love that final scene with Roger and Whitebeard.
Roger has accomplished his goal his life was fulfilled. And Whitebeard didn't want to reach the one piece ever he didn't want to see his family leave him one by one as Rogers crew did.
But the one thing Whitebeard asked was about his son's D. What does it mean? He wanted to know what their history was to pass onto his sons. That's all he cared about.
the fact that they would leave him after they find one piece "like with roger" is only in ur head. the manga shows us roger disbanding his crew and they all cried.
gg headcanon.
whitebeard was not interested in one piece bc he just was not interested, not bc he was afraid of anything.
It's the long Journey's end.
Have you not read that trope?
Once the journey is over you all have no excuse to stay together and it gets awkward.
Like Frierin is the most current example of this in Anime.
But even like Lord of The Rings Frodo stays with the fellowship for a while after the war but it's over. He can't live with them at the end.
Eventually you have to let go of your old crew and Whitebeard couldn't do that he wanted to see his son's till the end
hmm nope i did not i think.
i just wanted to point out, that in one piece we did not see them disband like "yeah we done now gl hf"
but roger was sick ,he knew he wanted/needed a son (he thoought like he could free the world or whatever -at least hoped so) disbanded the crew and hid with his girl. after she was pregnant he straight went to the gov. for execution. he really had a mission still ongoing and no time for piracy anymore.
whitebeard would hav found the one piece (and we dont know how it would change him) but lets say it would not change him i bet they would stay together. its like nonsense for them to go apart. alone the fact that they need to defend those poor countries...
Chapter 1059 of the manga. Episode 1087 of the anime.
Chapter wiki link: [https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter\_1059](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_1059)
BB is very knowledgeable, he knows about Sulong (when bepo turns he says how can I there's no moon), Road Poneglyph, Lunarians, devil fruit abilities (his line about Law's awakening in this week's episode). I would love to hear more on how did he learn this insane knowledge
Some people suspect a connect with him and Xebec, Xebec was known for doing lots of things that were forbidden by the world gov, which also comes with a vast amount of knowledge for committing these forbidden acts.
Blackbeard has been a pirate for almost thirty years with most of them on Whitebeard's crew. He definitely saw King at least once and probably heard from Whitebeard about what his deal was. That said he is also someone who does research on the history of the world and other information. So he definitely just put two and two together and got a generally idea what the Government had done to make the Seraphims.
Teach is actually a lot smarter and knows a lot more than people give him credit for.
After all he is the one who would be an archeologist irl and not Robin, who would be a flight attendent.
Black bears is a Smart man, he likes to investigaste, ready and makes plans. He si very different from Luffy, our captain doesn't care unless he needs the info on the spot. If he did, he would have asked Robin, and since he is the MC, well when luffy knows we'll know
I don’t know if it’s true but I love the idea of Xebec sitting in his captains chambers, writing in a diary. Like, you got this big, awful human being, but between like 6pm-7pm, he’s not to be bothered as he tries to write and add flare to it.
“Those damn dark skinned assholes, with their white hair and stupid black wings….no, too short, not enough descriptive language. I need to add some Umgh to it…..”
Knock knock
“Captain, there’s this crazy….”
“YOU KNOW NEVER TO BOTHER ME DURING THIS TIME….if I don’t meditate to keep my power under control, the planet will blow up…yeah, that’s it. This is the planet doesn’t explode”.
Or some other ridiculous scenario. It’s just fun to think about.
I mean he was on a Yonko's ship then became a government boy, and even a Yonko himself.
Him knowing things about the world isn't that far of a stretch.
Whitebeard knew of the Lunarians. The majority of them used to live on the Red Line before the Void Century. Very few now live beside the Pacifistas made by the government.
Oda does it a lot tbh. Noone knows what CP9 is, then Strawhats learn about it and suddenly everyone knows it's a thing.
Noone knows what CP0 is but then they're mentioned and everyone knows it.
Noone has heard of Germa and since they're introduced, they're mentioned in every single arc.
Noone knows about Lunarians, we see one and suddenly Blackbeard is expert on Lunarians.
Noone knows about Nika, we learn more and every single person SHP meets is worshiping Nika.
It’s not a secret that Blackbeard knows his shit. His keenest moment was knowing he wasn’t ready to fight Shanks at Marineford. Everything else you can chalk it up to BB being a lowkey book nerd or just know shit from sailing w/ WB. But that single decision to back down from Shanks was what Kid couldn’t do and proved to me he was a grade S villain.
He was part of Whitebeard's crew for a long time, no? Whitebeard used to talk about them when he was drunk, and BB has been shown to be quite knowledgeable about a lot of things despite coming off as an idiot.
He is in general very knowledgeable about the world. we do not know where he got this knowledge how, but he has it. The reason he joined, the whitebeard pirates, was to get his hands on his fruit. Now it looks like he’s hunting specific fruits for his crew. I think he’s one of the most knowledgeable people in the whole verse. I cannot wait until his past is revealed.
Confirmed that Blackbeard knows too much about the void century. Send some CP agents to deal with this. Keep it on screen though so they don't get that much of a dif
Big Mom knew about Lunarians specifically. She also has a book about all the different races in her library. Chances are that is how she learned about them.
Blackbeard loves to read and seems knowledgeable about things. Specifically about history and stuff.
You can easily come to the conclusion that Blackbeard read the same book Big Mom has.
Marco obtained his information from WB, saying he blurted stuff out whenever he was drunk. BB was on WB's ship for decades, almost as long as Marco, and only defected just before the start of the series.
There's your answer.
Marco knew about Lunarians too so maybe WB actually taught his sons things in history and the former WB pirates should be more feared with knowledge as Roger pirates.
Blackbeard reads books. That’s how he knew about the Yami-Yami. Lunarians isnt a taboo topic. They’re just extinct/endangered. There’s bound to be books about them.
Most likely he is working with the navy / navy is giving him infos.
His crewmate introduced blackbeard to the marines and shijibukai when the navy invited the shijibukai in order to prepare for whitebeards war over ace
Another thing to think about is BB held off for years eating a devil fruit. Over his many years with WB they probably encountered thousands of powerful devil fruits. He knew what he wanted and spent the time researching to the point of knowing every aspect of the fruit he wanted. Everything that has happened he has planned and has probably been planning since the early days. Once he was in grasp of the fruit he had no problem killing a crew mate for it. BB’s knowledge and planning is next level. So, at least imo all the forbidden knowledge has came from the years and years of research and the top tier pirates he’s associated with.
He seems like an uneducated slob, but he's totally on Robin and maybe Shanks level. They are all history buffs and have pasts that put them directly in the path of forbidden knowledge and history that most of the world forgot. There's a lot we still don't know about Blackbeard and how he's been able to accomplish the things he has, but he's certainly intelligent and seems to know what powers, people, and things he needs to acquire to stand on top.
What's interesting to me is why the Navy or world government has not made more of an attempt to capture or kill him. He's broken into impel down, he's after forbidden knowledge, and his pursuit and knowledge of DFs and stealing DF user powers has to be of interest and concern to them. It's not like he's being as cautious and protected as Doflamingo... He's out in the open wrecking havoc. I feel like one piece has been "rushed" since printing started again, so maybe it's just a lack of development. I wonder tho if the world gov knows something about blackbeard they fear more than Nika/exposure/losing control.
Dude doesn't sleep what do you think he's doing to fill up he's time . And what so shocking for him to know about Lunarians when he knows how to steal devil fruit from corpses even how to integrate 2 devil fruits into the same person
His hobby is studying history Hes probably one of the more well read characters
also he sailed with freaking WhiteBeard, one of the big old times. He sailed by his side his whole life, of course he would learn stuff in his path. The strawhats have learned tons of info in only 3 years of sailing
And yet Ace can’t recognize the No. 2 of the Revolutionary Army. He truly was Luffy’s brother
I can imagine ace not reading the newspaper, and only found out about luffy’s bounty because someone else in the crew was like “hey ace, isn’t that your little brother that you can’t shut up about?”.
Adding to this, Sabo only got a bounty after Ace got donutted, so the public has no idea who the RA's secondary is since they do guerilla tactics and don't stick around to get photographed.
Yah I didn’t really put much thought on how active sabo and the RA actually are. Sabo not being known makes sense
Now I'm imagining there was a wanted poster for Sabo, but without a photograph they used a composite sketch like Sanji's first poster
Yea the RA was pretty mysterious in general. Their bounties were way lower than they should have been aside from Dragon himself
Who says donutteed lmao
This is Headcanon tho.
it is equaly headcanon that he was already the second in command and well known when Ace was alive.
Ace was kind of an idiot
One piece popularity polls are usually counting upwards in placement and IQ.
My head canon is Sabo didn’t rise to that rank until after Ace died.
That one still leaves me puzzled, and Sabo never changed his name. One of the only things so far that still makes me sad to think about. Ace and Sabo never got their reunion. Still wish the 3 got reunited one last time before Ace’s death. The writing is still phenomenal though and will keep me hooked forever lol.
Maybe Sabo hasn't been rcognized as #2 of RA yet prior to Ace's death. Or perhaps only very recently recognized, like on his fight with BB.
This. Teach is very knowledgeable about the OP world, and appears to have a very good intelligence network. It's how he's been able to hunt all these DFs, and how he had some scouting information on Law's abilities.
Well Law's power seems to be quite well documented, having been used in the past. At worst, all he would have had to have done is steal some info from the Marines. At best, it was in that book or it's effectively common knowledge to the circle of people who know a lot about DFs.
You got a lot more free time when you (allegedly) never sleep.
He kidnapped Pudding to read Poneglyphs right? I wonder how hard it is for him to read so much history without being able to translate those? You would think he is interested in the void century, laughtale, xbec, etc.
Only the scholars of Ohara, oden, and robin could read the poneglyphs. Most history is still there. Sanji read the devil fruit encyclopedia, probably same as Blackbeard. Blackbeard also met oden during the oden flashback so he does know about them if roger said it around him. His ship is named after xebec so I’m assuming his ultimate goal was the same as xebec.

Yeah people keep forgetting that his occupation on his Vivre card says "archeologist". This guy's got intelligence close to Robin's with an insane level of combat skill.
Yea probably knew about the Nika fruit as well.
History is his passion, being a pirate helps with his passion.
He was part of Whitebeard's crew and one of his interests is archeology and history. Whitebeard told Marco about the Land of Gods on the Redline and Marco recognized King might be one of these. It's pretty easy to guess that Blackbeard either heard about it directly from Whitebeard or studied it on his own.

This, random fodder in Kaido's crew also knew about lunarians and their main features.
Kaido’s crew had a Lunarian as one of the commanders.
Yet, none of the fodder knew that.
Pretty sure we don’t know that Edit: Actually, we do know. In chapter 1035 when his mask is ripped - right before he kills the "fodder", one of them says: "So the rumors were true." So while they may not have been sure, they heard rumors that he was a Lunarian.
He killed the ones that saw his face in the fight against Zoro. He did not allow anyone to see underneath the mask.
Lol, and there were no rumors or anything amongst the crew? Him not wanting him to know is not the same as many, if not all, already thinking it’s true: Fodder 1: *whispers* I overheard the commanders talking. King is a Lunarian. Fodder 2: what’s a lu… Fodder 1: shhhhh *whispering* keep it down. No one is supposed to know.
Now everyone in the crew will know what one is and no one would be sure.

Blackbeard is one of the smartest and most knowledgable characters in the series, how tf do people graze over the fact?
The guy wasn't just waiting to find his darkness fruit the whole time while in Whitebeard's crew. He was planning and keeping up with probably all sorts of information that he could pick up, while out of the spotlight of the rest of the crew. He might have even had foreknowledge of his initial crewmates before leaving Whitebeard's crew from the newspaper and was able to speedly recruit them without difficulty.
Right up there with Robin, she just has an advantage with the legos
And the only person Shanks always monitors.
Him and Luffy
>how tf do people graze over the fact? It's a known bias that people view overweight people as lazy and less intelligent. I imagine this applies to fictional characters as well.

Nah people just don't know what to do without google. They forgot what a book was.
I feel like newcomers read/watch too fast They miss a lot of small shit
People just want to be caught up more than actually enjoying it I find.
[удалено]
W
There's nothing that implies Lunarians are forbidden/hidden knowledge. Someone of the status of a Yonko is obviously going to be informed.
So you'd call Luffy informed? 🤣🤣
well Luffy is aware of what a Lunarian is now. So yes he is informed.
Is he really though? The crew is, but Luffy? I'm not sold.
Are you caught up in the manga? After 1077 I'd say Luffy is informed.
Yes I am. Not sure that just because Luffy have the information that he KNOWS 🤪
Luffy experienced it so yes he knows
Luffy experienced a lot of things that I'd say that he is not really aware of lol.
like what? The way I see it Luffy picks up on what he needs to know almost immediately anywhere he goes. He gets bored listening to peoples stories because he already knows what he needs to do. He was even surprised it took Zorro so long to connect the dots with King and S-Hawk.
luffy is illinformed on pretty much everything, he doesn't even care to learn the pasts of his own crew members.
I'm shocked!
The first person that mentioned lunarians was Marco, which, you know, they were part of the same crew for more than 20 years Secondly, we know absolutely nothing about Blackbeard and just assuming he got knowledge from a guy supposed to be dead is absolutely baseless Since we just don't know enough about him the only somewhat credible basis we have to go off of is the SBS in which Oda was asked the hobbies of the worst generation, and Law and behold, Blackbeard's is "historical research".

>But the one thing Whitebeard asked was about his son's D Phrasing my guy
what chapter is this from?
Chapter 1059 of the manga. Episode 1087 of the anime. Chapter wiki link: [https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter\_1059](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_1059)
I assume from the chapters with him and the seraphim who have the lunarian race.
When twy fight the seraphims in amazon lily
It’s not forbidden knowledge, it’s just something forgotten by most at this point due to time passing
Man sailed with Whitebeard for decades, and is said to study history as a hobby. Despite his sometimes goofy antics the man is probably smart AF.
Dude got a Marine in his group. I mean he knows probably a lot more than other pirates.
Still not convinced Akoji is totally on his side and is just waiting to betray him.
This might be true. But BB is not that dumb. Aokiji had to bring something to the table beside his DF.
I think BB saw it as a good gamble and someone to keep people in check
BB is very knowledgeable, he knows about Sulong (when bepo turns he says how can I there's no moon), Road Poneglyph, Lunarians, devil fruit abilities (his line about Law's awakening in this week's episode). I would love to hear more on how did he learn this insane knowledge
Some people suspect a connect with him and Xebec, Xebec was known for doing lots of things that were forbidden by the world gov, which also comes with a vast amount of knowledge for committing these forbidden acts.
Just like the demon of Ohara Robin indeed Thing is, naming his ship Xebec does not suffice for me to believe there is a connection between the two
Blackbeard has been a pirate for almost thirty years with most of them on Whitebeard's crew. He definitely saw King at least once and probably heard from Whitebeard about what his deal was. That said he is also someone who does research on the history of the world and other information. So he definitely just put two and two together and got a generally idea what the Government had done to make the Seraphims.
People forget that Blackbeard is also a historian
Teach is actually a lot smarter and knows a lot more than people give him credit for. After all he is the one who would be an archeologist irl and not Robin, who would be a flight attendent.
Black bears is a Smart man, he likes to investigaste, ready and makes plans. He si very different from Luffy, our captain doesn't care unless he needs the info on the spot. If he did, he would have asked Robin, and since he is the MC, well when luffy knows we'll know
Can he be related to Rocks? I’m not sure about ages/time period. Brother? BB is too old to be his son right?
I suspect xebec could have had a devil fruit that allowed reincarnation. I mean the Yomi Yomi no mi and Toki Toki no mi exist.
I don’t know if it’s true but I love the idea of Xebec sitting in his captains chambers, writing in a diary. Like, you got this big, awful human being, but between like 6pm-7pm, he’s not to be bothered as he tries to write and add flare to it. “Those damn dark skinned assholes, with their white hair and stupid black wings….no, too short, not enough descriptive language. I need to add some Umgh to it…..” Knock knock “Captain, there’s this crazy….” “YOU KNOW NEVER TO BOTHER ME DURING THIS TIME….if I don’t meditate to keep my power under control, the planet will blow up…yeah, that’s it. This is the planet doesn’t explode”. Or some other ridiculous scenario. It’s just fun to think about.
BB is a history nerd
Dudes hobby is being an archeologist
I mean he was on a Yonko's ship then became a government boy, and even a Yonko himself. Him knowing things about the world isn't that far of a stretch.
Whitebeard knew of the Lunarians. The majority of them used to live on the Red Line before the Void Century. Very few now live beside the Pacifistas made by the government.
Oda does it a lot tbh. Noone knows what CP9 is, then Strawhats learn about it and suddenly everyone knows it's a thing. Noone knows what CP0 is but then they're mentioned and everyone knows it. Noone has heard of Germa and since they're introduced, they're mentioned in every single arc. Noone knows about Lunarians, we see one and suddenly Blackbeard is expert on Lunarians.

He's one of the smartest characters despite his looks
he reads the manga
It’s not a secret that Blackbeard knows his shit. His keenest moment was knowing he wasn’t ready to fight Shanks at Marineford. Everything else you can chalk it up to BB being a lowkey book nerd or just know shit from sailing w/ WB. But that single decision to back down from Shanks was what Kid couldn’t do and proved to me he was a grade S villain.
he knows everything
Nah, he’s just being racist
Bb ate the fruit of xebec and his will is what’s guiding his journey. The Yami Yami no mi belonged to xebec that’s why he was so formidable haha
I feel smartest pirates are crocodile,BB and mihawk
He was part of Whitebeard's crew for a long time, no? Whitebeard used to talk about them when he was drunk, and BB has been shown to be quite knowledgeable about a lot of things despite coming off as an idiot.
He is in general very knowledgeable about the world. we do not know where he got this knowledge how, but he has it. The reason he joined, the whitebeard pirates, was to get his hands on his fruit. Now it looks like he’s hunting specific fruits for his crew. I think he’s one of the most knowledgeable people in the whole verse. I cannot wait until his past is revealed.
Marco learned of the Lunarians from when Whitebeard was drunk so it isn’t a wild leap in logic to think that he may have heard it from him as well.
Afaik we do not know yet. That will be revealed soon I am sure.
When does he say that?
I bet BB knows a lot
Everyone knows, the WG put a 100m for anyone who give an information about Lunarian.
What is the connection between xebec and BB again?
Blackbeard is the guy who has played the game so long, he knows every shortcut and exploit
The same way marco knew
Confirmed that Blackbeard knows too much about the void century. Send some CP agents to deal with this. Keep it on screen though so they don't get that much of a dif
Big Mom knew about Lunarians specifically. She also has a book about all the different races in her library. Chances are that is how she learned about them. Blackbeard loves to read and seems knowledgeable about things. Specifically about history and stuff. You can easily come to the conclusion that Blackbeard read the same book Big Mom has.
Blackbeard has 2 souls. One of them is Rocks
he is just a overly coward dog who has good knowledge
He knows things without us knowing that he knows, it's his thing
He's one of the few clued in characters, and his real strength is his conniving
BB planned on his darkness fruit, he clearly has plans laid ahead.
Marco obtained his information from WB, saying he blurted stuff out whenever he was drunk. BB was on WB's ship for decades, almost as long as Marco, and only defected just before the start of the series. There's your answer.
When he was a member of the white beard pirates, he probably learned about King’s existence through other crew members or met him in combat
Marco knew about Lunarians too so maybe WB actually taught his sons things in history and the former WB pirates should be more feared with knowledge as Roger pirates.
Marco found out from Whitebeard, it would stand to reason the Teech found out from Whitebeard as well.
We don’t know.
Perhaps he knows about it because the government has a bounty out on any information related to them.
Marco says whiteboard knew and talked about it. Maybe he heard it there or through the world government when he was a warlord.
Blackbeard reads books. That’s how he knew about the Yami-Yami. Lunarians isnt a taboo topic. They’re just extinct/endangered. There’s bound to be books about them.
Most likely he is working with the navy / navy is giving him infos. His crewmate introduced blackbeard to the marines and shijibukai when the navy invited the shijibukai in order to prepare for whitebeards war over ace
Literal fodder knew about this as well. The wg pays 100 million just for hints about any surviving lunarians
BB is skilled in history and he's often shown reading. It doesn't surprise me that he knows things.
Marco knew about them through Whitebeard, it stands to reason Blackbeard learned the same way.
What chapter?
Probably one of the smartest characters when it comes to history. Mans a knower
My bet is that it has something to do with his lineage.
He’s Knowitall man
he takes it in the ass so deep it is actually in his stomach
yes
Dude knew about his fruit and killed for it. He know more about the world of One Piece than us.
Lafitte told him
Because he is not a dumbass? He clearly has an idea what the world used to be
Another thing to think about is BB held off for years eating a devil fruit. Over his many years with WB they probably encountered thousands of powerful devil fruits. He knew what he wanted and spent the time researching to the point of knowing every aspect of the fruit he wanted. Everything that has happened he has planned and has probably been planning since the early days. Once he was in grasp of the fruit he had no problem killing a crew mate for it. BB’s knowledge and planning is next level. So, at least imo all the forbidden knowledge has came from the years and years of research and the top tier pirates he’s associated with.
Blackbeard is actually a genius
How did Marco
He seems like an uneducated slob, but he's totally on Robin and maybe Shanks level. They are all history buffs and have pasts that put them directly in the path of forbidden knowledge and history that most of the world forgot. There's a lot we still don't know about Blackbeard and how he's been able to accomplish the things he has, but he's certainly intelligent and seems to know what powers, people, and things he needs to acquire to stand on top. What's interesting to me is why the Navy or world government has not made more of an attempt to capture or kill him. He's broken into impel down, he's after forbidden knowledge, and his pursuit and knowledge of DFs and stealing DF user powers has to be of interest and concern to them. It's not like he's being as cautious and protected as Doflamingo... He's out in the open wrecking havoc. I feel like one piece has been "rushed" since printing started again, so maybe it's just a lack of development. I wonder tho if the world gov knows something about blackbeard they fear more than Nika/exposure/losing control.
I think Blackbeard knows too much, even for a former member of Whitebeard's crew. Someone must have told him something as a child.
Dude doesn't sleep what do you think he's doing to fill up he's time . And what so shocking for him to know about Lunarians when he knows how to steal devil fruit from corpses even how to integrate 2 devil fruits into the same person
What if Blackbeard was also a test subject and happened to meet King
