As the title states and as many others from the community predict, I also believe Blackbeard will be playing a pivotal role in Wano. Chapter 925 solidified this feeling for most of the fandom. The shocking appearance of Blackbeard so early in the story coupled with the fact that the character that linked him is none other than Moriah. As you know, I always believed that Moriah would play a big part in Wano because of the fact he has a history with Wano and Kaido. The fact Oda used Moriah to connect the reader back to Blackbeard reinforces the belief that Blackbeard will get involved sooner rather than later. To what extent? We don’t know.
Looking back at chapter 925, we are shown various members of the Blackbeard pirates and their newfound abilities. One ability being able to change into another person and the other making you invisible. Both of these abilities can be used to infiltrate places. I think Qda showed us these two abilities in particular because they will be used for the very shocking entrance of the Black Beard Pirates. I’m going to take this time to address a problem fans had with Shiryu getting the clear-clear fruit. A lot of the fandom believed he was going to get the Diamond fruit from Jozu so the final clash with Zoro could be epic. Another complaint people had was questioning the viability of an ability that turns you invisible if you can sense people with haki. Fair point, but what if the full extent of the Clear-Clear fruit can clear out your essence as a whole. No haki can detect you. I feel like this is where Oda will be going with this and in the hands of someone like Shiryu, it’s a very dangerous ability.
Blackbeard offers Moriah to join his crew. We also know Blackbeard is very informed on the status of world events. He has his eyes on the Reverie and Wano. I believe he will somehow be involved in both. Sending some of his crew to the Reverie (unless someone is already there hmmm) and some or most to Wano. I think his ultimate goal with Wano is to get Kaidos fruit. Wano is being set up to be bigger than Marineford, many factions will get involved. I even think the Marines will get involved as well. Shanks came to the Reverie to warn the Gorosei about someone, and after these events in chapter 925, I strongly believe it is about Blackbeards potential plan. Just like how Shanks went to Whitebeard to warn him to tell Ace not to go after Blackbeard. Moriah will show up in Wano as a member of Blackbeards crew. We the readers may not know at the time of his arrival he decided to join but if he’s alive, it’s safe to assume he took the offer to join. Moriah would have information for Blackbeard about Kaido and they may have come up with a plan to be able to take him out.
All of this is speculation of course but I truly believe that the Blackbeard pirates will come to Wano. The marines will Join, Big Mom is already on her way AND I THINK SHANKS WILL COME TOO. It makes too much sense in my head. There’s a repetition of past arcs that have been going on in terms of format but the content and outcomes are very different. I’m trying to keep the focus of this discussion to jut the Blackbeard pirates. I’ll talk about everyone else and what I believe the final all-out battle will look like another time.
