User blog comment:Fliu/Chapter 957: More Info on Rocks/@comment-24684875-20190927062706

I loved how this chapter revealed so much. <3 Besides the bounty reveals, I'm even happy that Shiki and John were mentioned as once being part of the Rocks Pirates. I'm curious about "Silver Axe" and "Ouchoku" and wonder if they will ever make an appearance, if they haven't already...

I might also be WAY ahead of myself, but when I read the spoilers and the chapter, I was making a connection between Xebec and Blackbeard, maybe it's just me thinking too much, what do you make of it? The possible connection I'm going with is that Xebec and Blackbeard are related: Considering Blackbeard's age, the island he's on now (Beehive), the name of his ship and what he's aiming for. Or possible it could also be he was inspired by Xebec.

Also, I think Oden used to be the former 2nd divison commander, but that's just a guess.
