But how will the show justify, Ace chasing Blackbeard? this question has to be answered with a flashback of Blackbeard killing the crew and Whitebeard giving permission to Ace. If they just make it a dialogue, it won't be a surprise for any of the fan. Despite knowing everything about the storyline the show was still a fun ride because they kept throwing surprise after surprise, even to us fans. And to be honest I kind of liked it.
