Edward Teach (Blackbeard)

There were a number of things which made blackbeard famous. His life as a pirate was relatively short, lasting only 2 years, however he left a lasting impression on the world.

He was an incredibly tall man for the time, standing well over 6 feet when the average height was somewhere around 5' 4" - 5' 8". He was also incredibly smart, his standard method of attacking his victims revolved around intimidation and scare tactics. It's rumoured that until his final battle, Blackbeard had never killed a single man. He wore lit fuses under his hat, and weaved into his beard to create the illusion that he was on fire which perpetuated rumours that he was the devil. Word quickly spread that if you encountered him, he would let you live so long as you gave in without a fight.

Another major contributing factor is that Blackbeard captained quite a large ship for a pirate. Pirate ships were often small sloops designed to get in and out of shallow areas where their pursuers which often captained navy ships with a much larger draft couldn't follow. Blackbeards most famous ship, The Queen Anne's Revenge, was a 200 - 300 ton ship outfitted with over 20 cannons. This was the ship he used to blockade the entire port of Charleston in South Carolina, sacking any ship that tried to leave and ransoming the nobility for food, medicine, and anything of value.

During his final battle it is rumoured that it took over 20 stab wounds, and 3 gunshot wounds to finally bring him down. Reports from that day claimed that after blackbeards head was severed, his decapitated body jumped overboard and swam three laps around the ship before dying. That is quite obviously a myth.

Blackbeard's parrot's name was Pepe in the legends of Blackbeard. Blackbeard's real name was Edward Teach and he was a real historical figure.

He died in 1718 when he was hung by the British navy on his own ship

They haven't explained 'how' just yet. The only thing we know is the Yami-Yami no Mi is partly gravity-based, so 'pulling' the power from Whitebeard is one possible answer.

He later temporarily stopped being a pirate and retired to Bath with his 14th wife. He returned to pirating ways in November and was captured by Lieutenant Robert Maynard. Maynard cut off Blackbeard's head and hung it from the bow of his ship.
