Even though Blackbeard has already achieved almost everything, his goals are even more ambitious. As was clarified in One piece rather recently, Blackbeard wants the whole world and for this he plans to target Marijoa.
Blackbeard's marijuana invasion is on the horizon
- Blackbeard will soon invade the Holy Land
- Lafitte keeps an eye on marijuana
Blackbeard is one of the many pirates on the hunt One piece. This shouldn't surprise any fans as Blackbeard has made this wish known. Blackbeard wants the One piece for himself and through it, he probably wants to control the whole world. Vegapunk recently stated that the person who claims the One Piece will have the fate of the entire world in the palms of their hands, which essentially means that Blackbeard's dream of claiming the One Piece could be related to his desire to strengthen his hold on the world . . This only gives credence to the idea that Blackbeard wants to settle on top of the world.
Well, stop enjoying the show and start preparing! – Blackbeard
When talking about the people at the top, there is only one person that comes to mind and that person is Imu. Fans know that Imu is at the top and is one of the most influential individuals in One Piece, even if they are also the most mysterious. They are the rulers of the world and those who rule the entire world from behind the shadow, and have been doing so for approximately 800 years. Imu holds the same title that Blackbeard wants to obtain. As was implied in the Egghead Island story arc by Van Augur and Catarina Devon, Blackbeard wants the whole world. This means that he wants the position that Imu holds at the moment and his ambitions go beyond simply wanting to become the Pirate King.
As for how Blackbeard will achieve this, fans don't know. However, Blackbeard is an elite planner and has likely already mapped out a path towards this goal. This is one of the reasons why Van Augur and Catarina Devon went to Egghead. There, fans saw Devon touch Saturn, one of the former Five Elders and a very powerful individual.
Fast forward, fans then saw Blackbeard return to Pirate Island and he made contact with Lafitte there. Clearly, Lafitte was carefully watching the harbor just below Marijoa and Blackbeard, so he set off on yet another mission. It seems that whatever Blackbeard is planning has to do with Marijoa, and when you connect the dots you can only come to the conclusion that Blackbeard wants to invade this place. Of course, fans might wonder how this is possible, but the answer is pretty clear and that's Catarina Devon.
Will Blackbeard fight Imu?
Blackbeard vs. Imu may not be on the horizon
In the next arc of One piecefans shouldn't be surprised if they eventually see Blackbeard make his way into the Holy Land of the Celestial Dragons, Marijoa. This infiltration will likely be made possible thanks to Devon's powers. As fans know, Devon has already touched Saint Satan, which means he can now transform into him and use his Gyuki ability as well. It is likely that Devon will use this power to infiltrate Lafitte and thus possibly hypnotize the entire establishment's defenses. So, the Blackbeard Pirates could make their entrance and potentially go fight the World Government. But it would be almost foolish to assume that Blackbeard wants to fight with those at the top.
It's my age! With this power I am truly invincible! – Blackbeard
His goal is something more specific that only he knows is in Marijoa and that's what they have their eyes on right now. Whatever is up there probably has to do with Blackbeard's dreams coming true, and fans will likely get the answer soon enough.

Of course, fans might wonder whether Blackbeard will fight Imu here or not. There may be a skirmish between the characters, but Blackbeard will not seek an all-out confrontation. At this time, Blackbeard fighting against members of the government would be considered suicide. The Five Elders are too powerful and Imu plus them would be too much for Blackbeard to face him. Even with characters like Kuzan at his side, it won't be easy for him to make it. This is why Blackbeard is likely to carry out an infiltration mission and then get his hands on something huge that will put him in the lead in conquering the One Piece or becoming King of the World.
Blackbeard is ready to get his hands on the national treasure of Marijoa
Blackbeard's target may be the national treasure of Marijoa
Fans may be wondering what Blackbeard might be infiltrating Marijoa for, and the answer to that question is the National Treasure. Marijoa's National Treasure was teased in the Dressrosa story arc, and to this day fans don't know what it really is. Perhaps this national treasure is the ancient weapon Uranus, or it could be something else. Whatever it is, Blackbeard has his eyes on it and will likely have access to it in the final saga.
If he actually manages to get his hands on it, then, it is very likely that Blackbeard will take the lead in the race for One Piece and probably even force the world government to launch an all-out war against those who oppose it. them, making it a major trigger for the entire Final War One piece series.
As for whether fans will actually get to see this infiltration or not, the answer is unknown. Oda sometimes loves things off-screen, and developments surrounding Blackbeard are often addressed on the sidelines. But, at the very least, even if the fighting is skipped, fans will likely see the infiltration happen and then the Blackbeard Pirates put their plan into action. Hopefully this segment of One piece will clarify what Blackbeard really wants and how he intends to achieve it. Undoubtedly, things are getting incredibly exciting, especially where Blackbeard is concerned, and the final saga will heat up even more from here on out.
