Blackbeard Pirates

The Blackbeard Pirates are one of the "Four Emperors" (Yonko) factions in the modern era of the One Piece world. Rather than being bound by friendship, this group is united by "shared interests, ambition, and destiny." Here is an in-depth look at the crew:
🏴‍☠️ Overview of the Blackbeard Pirates
• Crew Name: Blackbeard Pirates
• Total Bounty: Over 10,000,000,000 Berries (combined total for Blackbeard and all his Titanic Captains)
• Status: One of the Four Emperors—a major power ruling over the New World—and known as a "Devil Fruit-hunting crew."
• Main Base: Hachinosu (Pirate Island)—a legendary island that serves as a pirate stronghold.
• Flagship: Saber of Xebec—originally just a large raft made of logs, it has since evolved into a massive pirate warship (the name references the legendary pirate, Rocks D. Xebec).
• Brief History: It began when Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard) defected from the Whitebeard Pirates after killing Thatch to steal the Yami Yami no Mi (Dark-Dark Fruit). He then recruited his four founding crewmates and set out to hunt for bounties. Taking advantage of the chaos during the Battle of Marineford, Teach raided Impel Down to recruit the most heinous Level 6 prisoners into his ranks. Following his victory in the "Payback War" against the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, Teach was established as one of the Four Emperors, taking the place of Whitebeard.

The captains of the Blackbeard Pirates can be divided into two main groups:

1. The Original Crew (The Core Members) — Those who joined from the start
   These are the individuals who have been with Blackbeard since the inception of his crew. They also accompanied him during the assault on Impel Down to recruit new members. They include:
   • Jesus Burgess (Captain of the 1st Ship) – Fighter
   • Van Augur (Captain of the 3rd Ship) – Sniper
   • Doc Q (Captain of the 9th Ship) – Ship’s Doctor (accompanied by his horse, "Stronger")
   • Laffitte (Captain of the 5th Ship) – Navigator / Chief of Staff
   (Van Augur’s first appearance occurs during the Jaya/Skypiea arc, where he snipes a seagull, causing it to land on the Straw Hats' ship, the Going Merry—all from an immense distance, far beyond the sight of any island.)
2. Members Recruited from Level 6 of Impel Down (The "Hell" Prison)
   These are notorious criminals and a former prison official whom Blackbeard released—or invited to join his ranks—during the prison break. He recruited them to bolster his forces, ultimately elevating his crew to the level of a Yonko (Four Emperors) organization. They include:
   • Shiryu of the Rain (Captain of the 2nd Ship) - Former Chief Warden of Impel Down
   • Avalo Pizarro (Captain of the 4th Ship) - Former wicked king from Level 6 of the prison
   • Catarina Devon (Captain of the 6th Ship) - "Crescent Moon Hunter" from Level 6 of the prison
   • Sanjuan Wolf (Captain of the 7th Ship) - "Colossal Battleship" from Level 6 of the prison
   • Vasco Shot (Captain of the 8th Ship) - "Heavy Drinker" from Level 6 of the prison

The Saber of Xebec is the main ship of the Blackbeard Pirates.

The Blackbeard Pirates have at least ten ships for other Titan Captains, at least three of which (if not all) share an appearance, so the lead ship has yet to be properly identified. The ships are identified as warships, and are capable of crossing the Calm Belt.

Ship Design and Appearance: The Saber of Xebec is a large warship, with three masts containing either 3 or 2 sails. The front set of sails depicts the Blackbeard Pirates' Jolly Roger and the text "BLACK BEARD". The ship's figurehead is a skull with two swords sticking out from behind it. Large logs are attached to each side of the central warship, paying homage to the crew's original raft.

Trivia: The ship shares its name with Teach's father and the late captain of the Rocks Pirates, Rocks D. Xebec.

Blackbeard’s ten ship captains (the "Ten Titanic Captains") are organized as follows:
• Captains 1 through 5 (the original core): These are the founding members who helped Blackbeard establish his crew. Their numbering corresponds to their primary roles aboard the ship:
• Ship 1 – Jesus Burgess: Serves as the helmsman and holds a key position in commanding the first ship.
• Ship 2 – Shiryu: A former high-ranking official from Impel Down; he serves as a primary combatant.
• Ship 3 – Van Augur: The crew’s marksman/sniper.
• Ship 4 – Abalo Pizarro: Known as the "Corrupt King."
• Ship 5 – Laffitte: The navigator, strategist, and chief of staff.

As for the other captains, they follow in order.

However, it should be noted that the captain system within Blackbeard’s crew is not strictly a hierarchy based on rank. Instead, it functions as a division into "ten distinct fleets," designed to facilitate operations such as hunting for Devil Fruits and seizing new territories. The veteran members hold the earlier numbers, while those who joined the crew later are assigned to the subsequent positions.
