Thatch was a good man. Everyone said it and everyone agreed.

He was everyone’s friend, mentor to all rookies and a person you could trust with your secrets. Everyone looked up to Thatch and loved him as a brother. Then he was killed by one of their own.

In fact, he was really the sort of guy that shouldn’t be a pirate at all. He should’ve been ensconced in a snug little house somewhere with a loving wife raising several children who would all learn to be truly good people from him before going out into the world.

But while he did have a wife and sons he left them to follow Oyaji. They waved him off and welcomed him heartily whenever he came back to visit. He sent most of his loot home to them and had often brought his crewmates to visit.

When Marco and Vista went to break the news they accepted it blankly, thanked them kindly and told them to get the hell out of their lives before they called the Marines.

While his family could accept him following his dreams, protecting his comrades and dying in the service of a truly great man like Whitebeard they could not accept the particular circumstances that had been handed to Thatch.

They blamed Whitebeard, they blamed Teach but most of all they blamed the entire crew for accepting such a man into their bosom.

Thatch was indeed, a good man. He didn’t deserve to be betrayed by someone he trusted and they would never forgive them for that.

To his family, it had been very simple. Thatch had been killed by his crew for a piece of loot.

When Marco looked at things in the coldest possible terms he realised this, that it was exactly what had happened.

Nice job highlighting the more realistic type of piracy. Hopefully we'll get to see Blackbeard get what's coming to him after all he's done.

Glad you approve. C:

The line for kicking his ass starts with Luffy and traverses the Line.....twice.

Thank you, glad you liked. C:

Blackbeard...there damn well will be a reckoning. The queue starts with Luffy and circles the globe. Several times.....and then they go after Akainu >:D
