[Discussion] This is why i like Blackbeard

I agree with you except for the coward part. He was brave enough to try to kill Luffy and fight Ace.
He's just crafty which can be mistaken for being a coward. He gave shanks a permanent scar after all.

o-o But thats what I was telling Riker . That hes simply smart. By the "he's a coward", i was quoting Riker xD

antithesis: a person or thing that is the direct opposite of someone or something else.

Akainu/Smoker would be Luffy's antithesis rather than BB. BB shares much more similarities with luffy, rather than being his direct opposite, as you pointed out.

Oh I misunderstood that term, my bad.

Teach is definitely a coward. Look at the way he begged and whined when it appeared that WB was about to kill him. Teach is super reckless, throwing himself in situations that have loads of danger and relying on luck, but when they don't go his way, he expresses intense fear in the situation, especially when compared to other Ds.

By coward I personally think of Oda's showcasing of Ussop/Nami/Chopper. BB's tactics come off as simply being sneaky/clever. I mean the man was bold enough to attack Marineford with his newly made crew afterall. x-x.

But I get what you mean now tho. Now this could just be me.. but Akainu seems like a perfect rival for BB, while Smoker for Luffy (again could just be me, but something that I find very interesting).
