User blog comment:Juracuille/Who're the strongest? Whitebeard Pirates or Blackbeard Pirates/@comment-2060630-20100629055051

Before Whitebeard's death, Whitebeard pirates. Whitebeard himself was one step from death and could beat the crap outta Blackbeard. With Whitebeard & Ace dead, we cant be sure, cause the level 6 prisoners havent showed their full powers. Btw I dont think that anyone in Blackbeard's crew is weak at all. Lafitte has apparently a Devil fruit, hypnotism and God knows what else, while Doc Q seems to have some amounts of strength even though he is sick .. plus we dont know, he could end up being a fruit user. Blackbeard can defeat any of the division commander at this point, and can probably fight off several of them on his own. So I guess the Blackbeard pirates are stronger now.
