User blog:WhitzellBlood/The Blackbeard Pirates After the Two Year Time Skip Part One

Yes, my friends! It has been two years since the climatic clash between the Whitebeard Pirates and the World Government and the world is slowly being led into a new era by the likes of rookie pirates and Marine HQ G-5! The pirates will either succeed or they will die out at the hands of the World Government and the dreaded Marines. The Strawhat pirates have definitely yet not fully shown to be incredibly powerful now but the world did not stop as they grew, the world also grew and so did the Blackbeard pirates led by the dastardly and cunning Marshall D. Teach! This is how I see the Blackbeard pirates have changed during those two years.

Marshall D. Teach: Captain of the Blackbeard pirates/Fighter of the Blackbeard pirates. He has mastered both of his devil fruits, the Tremor-Tremor fruit and the Dark-Dark fruit but has a little difficulty with them. Due to the fact that he and his crew have taken down several New World pirate crews may have significantly raised his strength and endurance to a whole new level where he can be almost as intimidating as Whitebeard and his crew was. He has probably gained a few pounds and some more muscle and stands a little taller than before the time skip, and his beard has probably shagged out to a point where he has to braid it like the actual Blackbeard, Edward Teach, had to. He is probably dressed in a pirate captain's outfit a little more flashier than his previous outfit. Plus, he is now the captain of a great battleship almost the size of the Moby Dick or the Flying Dutchman.

Shilliew of the Rain: First mate of the Blackbeard pirates/Swordsman of the Blackbeard pirates. We have not really experienced the full Shilliew experience but based on what history depicts, along with his Impel Down intro, we can only believe that Shiryu was about as powerful as Magellan before the time skip and a greater threat now. His swordsmanship has increased greatly in the New World and he is stronger than Zoro but not even comparable to Mihawks who still stands above every swordsman in the One Piece universe. Despite from being stronger and maybe a little bit taller, he probably has a little stubble growing or maybe even a mustache or something. He has probably not changed from his Impel Down outfit but if he has, I would like to see him wearing a detective's outfit or something cool like that with the trench coat and hat like that.

Jesus Burgess: Helmsman of the Blackbeard pirates/Fighter of the Blackbeard pirates. We've only been shown glimpse of what Jesus can do. He's been shown to pick up buildings right off their foundation, leap into the air, and hurl them off into far distances. That's pretty beast! After the time skip, he can be probably compared to how strong Magellan was and probably stronger, just taking a wild guess. He has worked on his strength and polished his grappling skills. He's probably dressed in another wrestling outfit but flashier, with frills to match that Mexican Lucha Libre feeling. Aside from all of that, that's how he's changed.

Van Auger: Sharpshooter of the Blackbeard pirates/Gunner of the Blackbeard pirates. Van Auger was able to catch Portgaz D. Ace off his guard but to no avail due to his Logia powers and he was able to shoot down several birds at one time from miles away. Two years later, he is possibly one of the greatest snipers on the planet or at least in the New World. He will probably be a better sniper than Usopp is right now but that will change, he will be able to use various rifles, shotguns, and pistols at the same time. He will probably change his outfit into something more flashly. A great frilled overcoat going over a British outfit of knickerbockers, he will carry all of his weapons in the overcoat. That's how I see Van Auger two years from now.
