While Luffy is the light, a warrior of Liberation that brings Joy to everyone and an embodiment of freedom, Blackbeard is the total opposite of him, representing darkness and villainous scheme all through the series. Up until now, whatever Blackbeard has done has been in the interest of him regardless of the outcomes of the others and how it may affect them.

Blackbeard going by his real name Marshall D Teach, carrying the will of the “D,” made his first villainous deed which was by killing his captain of the division in the Whitebeard Pirate fleet. Since then, Blackbeard has been doing things that have affected others, not in a good way. Thus, fans await the inevitable battle between Luffy and Blackbeard in the future.

However, there is, infact, a scenario that has seen the two characters in the fight, and while it was only for a short while, we did see them engage in a battle. Many fans want to know the details regarding that particular episode, and thus, we will provide them with the details so that they reminisce about the moment and see how it led up to the battle. With that being said, here we bring you the various details for the amazing One Piece series.

When Does Luffy Fight Blackbeard?

Luffy had all the reason to fight Blackbeard after the latter was responsible for Ace’s kidnap and handing him over to the Marines. Being the son of the former king of Pirates, things were not looking great for Ace, and with Jimbei’s help from the impel down, Luffy had made it to the Marineford base to rescue Ace from his execution.

Among this amazing royal rumble with the Blackbeard Pirates and the top powers of the Marines, it was surely a sight to see, and fans are reminded of this moment many times. As mentioned earlier, it was a royal rumble, and fans saw many battles taking place, and among them, there was a small fight between Luffy and Blackbeard.

The episode number for the anime was One Piece Episode 447, titled “The Jet Pistol of Rage – Luffy vs. Blackbeard,” which saw the fight between Luffy and Blackbeard as the title suggests. Luffy was full of rage and went on to fight Blackbeard as the responsible for Ace’s kidnap and the for the current scenario.

The episode saw Luffy was furious and punched Blackbeard as soon as he saw him. The punch was strong enough to push the latter into the wall. Blackbeard got up, however, shortly after and used his devil fruit power to pull close to him and grab Luffy, soon slamming him to the ground.

Luffy gets back up again after coughing up blood, but Jimbei interferes with the battle reminding Luffy that their priority is to rescue Ace. The manga chapter that sees the fight between the said is One Piece Chapter 544.

Will Blackbeard and Luffy Fight Ever Again?

The only possible question for this answer is YES; there is no future for One Piece where we won’t see the fight between Luffy and Blackbeard. Considering that the Blackbeard pirates are making their way onto Egghead Island, which is the current place where the Straw hats are on rescuing Dr. Vegapunk, a fight takes place much sooner than expected.

Luffy’s Gear Five and Blackbeard’s abilities to wield two devil fruits will be sights that the fans will die for. Follow our website weekly for new details on One Piece and many other Shonen Jump manga to various manhwas.
