Kuzan is a former Marine admiral and one of the most powerful characters in One Piece. After the battle that took place at Marineford, he fought against Akainu at Punk Hazard to compete for the position of Marine Fleet Admiral. He left the Marines after his defeat and allied himself with the Blackbeard Pirates.
Kuzan has always been a complex character in One Piece. While he often shows a friendly demeanor towards Robin and others, he remains distant regarding the Marines. This is why it was quite surprising when he joined the Blackbeard Pirates, a notorious group led by Marshall D. Teach. His presence is not only powerful but also carries an ominous and unpredictable nature.
Kuzan is now one of the ten members of the Blackbeard Pirates, directly under the command of Marshall D. Teach. The image depicted in the opening suggests that Kuzan is keeping an eye on the other pirate crews, hinting at potential future conflicts. However, it is difficult to understand why this alliance was formed, especially since the Marineford arc had not been fully explored at the time of this revelation.
It may seem like a random coincidence that Kuzan was placed among the other members of the Blackbeard Pirates, but the underlying motives remain unclear. This unexpected turn of events has become one of the most significant plot twists in One Piece.
