One Piece Taps Into Blackbeard With Emperor Level Cosplay

One Piece is gearing up for the anime’s take on the Final Saga of Eiichiro Oda’s original manga series this year, and one awesome cosplay is getting Marshall D. Teech ready for what’s next with Blackbeard! One Piece made some massive shake ups to its world with the final moments of the Wano Country arc as Luffy was officially crowned as one of the new Four Emperors of the Sea after defeating Kaido. At the same time, the other Emperors have started making their respective moves towards the final treasure itself as the franchise gears up for its grand finale. 

As the anime filled in the gaps of the Wano Country arc and got ready to kick off the Egghead Arc this month, One Piece finally brought Blackbeard back to the center of the action as it revealed what the Emperor’s crew had been up to while Luffy was on Wano. It revealed just how deadly the Emperor has become heading into the Final Saga, and now artist zerotohero.youtube on TikTok has taken it even further with some pitch perfect Blackbeard cosplay!
