THE BLACKBEARD PIRATES' GOAL AT EGGHEAD

[THEORY THREAD]

#ONEPIECE
#ONEPIECE1089

We're now at the Final Saga, and it's not just Luffy and the Straw Hat crew who are aiming for the legacy of Gol D. Roger, the One Piece.

The other Emperors are on the move too!

Shanks...

Marshall D. Teach aka. Blackbeard...

Even Buggy!

The great scramble for the One Piece has begun!

Now, we all know that the Four Emperors are aware that the primary keys to reaching Laugh Tale, the Final Island in the Grand Line where the One Piece is assumed to be, are the 4 Road Poneglyphs.

BUT getting your hands on a Road Poneglyph is not enough. One must know how to READ the ancient script that is inscribed on the stones to decipher the location of four specific islands to be able to plot the location of Laugh Tale.

Now the only ones we know that can ACTUALLY read the poneglyphs (that are alive) are 2 individuals:

Nico Robin and Kozuki Sukiyaki

Nico Robin is the last known survivor of Ohara. She is also the last known person believed to be able to read the ancient scripts of the Poneglyphs. The other scholars of Ohara that have studied the ancient scripts have all perished during the Ohara Incident.

The other individual that can read the Poneglyphs, who is unknown to the world because he was believed to be dead and news hardly gets out of Wano because it's a closed-off nation, is Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Now if you all remember, Sukiyaki hails from the Kozuki Family, a clan of stonemasons who created the "indestructible books" known as poneglyphs and inscribed the ancient texts on it at the end of the Void Century.

The knowledge on how to read and write the ancient texts was passed down from generations to generations of Kozuki clan heads. Since Kozuki Oden was able to read it, he most likely learned it from his father, Sukiyaki.

He was meant to pass this knowledge to his son, Momonosuke but he never got the chance because he was executed in Wano, 20 Years ago from the current timeline.

It's up to Sukiyaki now if he would teach how to read and write the ancient texts to his grandchildren though.

That concludes the summary of the 2 individuals who can ACTUALLY read the Poneglyphs. Moving on.

Now I know what you're going to say: "YOU FORGOT PUDDING-CHAN YOU STUPID PINEAPPLE!"

No, I didn't forget about her! She has the POTENTIAL to read the poneglyphs IF the power of her third-eye awakens! But right now, it seems she hasn't awakened it yet.

The other POTENTIAL poneglyph readers are Kozuki Momonosuke and Kozuki Hiyori, if they learn it from their grandfather, Kozuki Sukiyaki.

SOO MOVING ON TO THE MAIN TOPIC!

In addition to obtaining all the Road Poneglyphs

THE OTHER GOAL OF THE BLACKBEARD PIRATES ARE ABDUCTING THOSE WHO CAN READ (OR HAS POTENTIAL TO READ) THE PONEGLYPHS!

ZEHAHAHAHAHAHA!

BTW Happy Birthday Teach!

We can already see that BB aimed for the Road Poneglyphs by ambushing a possible copy owner which turns out to be Trafalgar Law at Winner Island.

We already saw in the Germa 66 cover story series that a Two-Man Cell of the BB Pirates abducted a potential poneglyph reader, Charlotte Pudding.

Now, in the latest chapter, we can see Saturn reading a newspaper article about the Straw Hat Pirates' activities at Egghead.

Now we can surmise that the WHOLE WORLD knows where the SH Pirates currently are.

The BB Pirates saw this as an opportunity to...

Send in another Two-Man Cell to abduct Nico Robin!!!

Since BB, Augur, Burgess and Doc Q confronted Law...

Shiryu, Kuzan, Wolf, Pizarro and Vasco fought Garp and the Marines at Hachinosu...

The ones on board this BB pirate ship are...

Lafitte and Catarina Devon! THEIR GOAL IS TO ABDUCT A PONEGLYPH READER - NICO ROBIN!

These two have troublesome powers! Hypnosis and Transformation/Disguise!

They would surely add more chaos in the already chaotic situation at Egghead. Confusion will ensue!

In the final page of the latest chapter, we can see every one of the Straw Hat Pirates EXCEPT for Nico Robin! Is this a premonition from Oda-sensei that something bad is about to happen to her?
I really hope not!

But if Robin really gets kidnapped...

On top of eventually learning of what happened to his grandfather, Garp at Hachinosu, Luffy will have another reason to wage war against Blackbeard!

LET GODA COOK!!!!

Thank you for reading! 🍍
