According to a report from Yibada, "One Piece" chapter 804 may see the Blackbeard pirates, led by Marshall D. Teach, face off against the Revolutionary Army despite the former's lack of strength to defeat Monkey D. Dragon and his powerful pirate army.
The report cites that defeating Monkey D. Dragon, father of the series's main character Monkey D. Luffy, would be an impossible task even for Blackbeard given that Monkey D. Dragon is regarded to be as strong as the Yonkos. However, the battle may be averted through different means.
According to the report, Blackbeard might avoid fighting Monkey D. Dragon altogether by blackmailing him. Blackbeard may demand Monkey D. Dragon to surrender some of the powerful weapons used by the Revolutionary Army or else he would reveal the location of the Revolutionary Army's base to the World Government.
Back in Chapter 803, Monkey D. Dragon summoned all of the leaders and revealed that he had a scheme to set a trap for the Blackbeard pirates. It is speculated that despite Blackbeard's hopes of blackmailing the Revolutionary Army, things might still get out of hand and eventually lead to an all-out war between the two groups.
According to Movie News Guide, there is also the speculation that Blackbeard and his crew is trying to rescue the First Mate of Blackbeard's first ship while also aiming to steal valuable minerals or weapons from the Revolutionary Army.
As stated by fans of the series on Manga Helpers, it appears to be too early in the series for the two groups to clash as this would signal the beginning of the end for "One Piece." The series has been in production for over 18 years, although according to a report from Design and Trend, author Eiichiro Oda has stated that there is still roughly a decade left of story to tell.
Since no official release or scan of Chapter 804 has yet been released, these rumors should still be taken with a grain of salt.
