Amid rising tension on Egghead Island, the whereabouts of the Demon Sheriff, Laffitte, from the Blackbeard Pirates in One Piece remain shrouded in mystery. Despite fan anticipation for his appearance at this juncture in the story, his presence on Egghead Island appears increasingly unlikely.
Spoiler alerts for One Piece chapter 1109 hint at the intrusion of the Five Elders onto Egghead Island, setting the stage for a potential clash in forthcoming chapters.
Meanwhile, the absence of Laffitte begs the question: where could he be, and what schemes might he be concocting?
Today’s theory not only ventures to speculate on Laffitte’s current location but also offers insights into his identity, potentially linking him to a former comrade of Straw Hat pirate Brook and suggesting ties to the storied lineage of the “D.”
Blackbeard Pirates’ Intrigue and Laffitte’s Mystery In The One Piece Chapter 1107
In One Piece chapter 1107, Van Augur and Catarina Devon, members of the Blackbeard Pirates, made their dramatic entrance into the ongoing battle of the Egghead Arc.
Notably, Catarina’s interaction with Saturn, coupled with her cryptic declaration of “mission completed,” hints at potential machinations involving the planet’s imagery by the Blackbeard crew.
Meanwhile, fans eagerly anticipated the return of Laffitte from the Blackbeard Pirates, given his absence from the storyline for some time. However, his whereabouts remain a mystery, leaving fans to wonder where he might be lurking.
Speculation among fans suggests that Laffitte could currently be within the confines of Impel Down, a notorious prison known for housing the most formidable and notorious criminals.
Laffitte, known as the “Demon Sheriff” from the West Blue, shares an intriguing connection with another infamous figure in One Piece lore: Donquixote Doflamingo, also known as the Heavenly Demon.
Following his confrontation with Luffy and Law during the Dressrosa Arc, Doflamingo was apprehended by the World Government and subsequently incarcerated within Impel Down.
The thematic link between Impel Down and the “Demon” alias draws parallels to Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, wherein the journey of a soul through nine levels of Hell mirrors the depths of despair and treachery found within the prison’s confines.
Impel Down’s resemblance to Dante Alighieri’s poem, with its six levels housing demonic criminals, evokes a hellish atmosphere where encounters between notorious pirates like Laffitte and Doflamingo could unfold.
Speculation swirls that Laffitte might pay a visit to Doflamingo within Impel Down, potentially aiding in a sinister escape plan amidst ominous future events.
While a popular theory within the One Piece community links Brook and Laffitte, it notably omits details regarding the latter’s true identity. Laffitte’s introduction as a renowned Sheriff with a nefarious reputation adds to the mystery surrounding his current whereabouts.
Similarly enigmatic is Brook’s location, with fans suggesting ties to the Grasshopper Kingdom.
This conjecture stems from a reference in chapter 501, where a musician up for auction is purportedly from the Grasshopper Kingdom, fueling speculation about Brook’s potential origins.
The Mystery Behind the Blackbeard Laffitte’s Past
Fans speculate that Laffitte’s potential affiliation with the Grasshopper Kingdom, akin to Brook’s speculated ties, extends to similarities in their attire, accessories like carrying sticks, and other shared traits.
This has prompted theories suggesting Laffitte’s possible connection to the Rumbar Pirates, Brook’s former crew.
Despite the Rumbar Pirates’ demise 52 years ago due to poison, Laffitte’s current age of 41 raises questions about any supposed ties.
However, fans theorize that the Rumbar Pirates’ captain, Calico Yorki, who reportedly perished early in the crew’s history, may yet be alive, potentially providing a link between Laffitte and the Rumbar Pirates.
Furthermore, akin to Brook’s affinity for music, Laffitte’s penchant for humming tunes has sparked speculation that the song he hums could be none other than “Bink’s Sake,” a beloved melody associated with Yorki, who requested it on his deathbed, adding another layer to the potential connection between Laffitte and the Rumbar Pirates.
Fans have delved deeper into speculation surrounding Laffitte’s identity, suggesting that after purportedly passing away before his crew, Yorki may have settled down and started a family in his hometown in the West Blue.
From these breadcrumbs, a theory emerges proposing that Laffitte’s true name could be Calico Laffitte, Yorki’s son.
Adding intrigue to the speculation, fans have observed a peculiar absence of pirates hailing from the West Blue of the Grand Line who bear the enigmatic initial “D.”
Considering these significant details alongside Laffitte’s rumored association with Doflamingo, a figure fixated on the meaning of the “D,” a compelling narrative emerges: this Blackbeard Pirate’s full name might indeed be Calico D. Laffitte, hinting at deeper ties and mysteries yet to be revealed.
