Unveiling the Mystery: Laffitte's Connection to the D. Clan and his Surprising Origins Revealed

As tensions continue to rise on Egghead Island, fans are still left wondering about the whereabouts of the Demon Sheriff, Laffitte, from the Blackbeard Pirates in One Piece. Many had anticipated his appearance at this point in the story, but it seems unlikely that he will show up on Egghead Island now.

Spoilers for One Piece chapter 1109 reveal that the Five Elders have now arrived on Egghead Island, setting the stage for a potential all-out fight in the upcoming chapters. With Laffitte's absence, the question remains: where is he and what is he currently involved in?

In chapter 1107 of One Piece, Van Augur and Catarina Devon from the Blackbeard Pirates joined the ongoing battle in the Egghead Arc. Catarina touched Saturn and said "mission completed," hinting at a potential scheme involving Saturn's image.

Fans were eagerly anticipating the return of Laffitte from the Blackbeard Pirates, as it had been quite some time since he last made an appearance. Many were wondering where he could be now.

Fans are speculating that Laffitte might be currently at Impel Down, a facility known for holding the most powerful and dangerous criminals. In the West Blue, where Laffitte hails from, he was known as the "Demon Sheriff." Interestingly, another pirate in One Piece also goes by the alias of "Demon" - Donquixote Doflamingo, also known as the Heavenly Demon.

Following his confrontation with Luffy and Law during the Dressrosa Arc, Doflamingo was captured and turned over to the World Government. He was then imprisoned in Impel Down. The connection between Impel Down and the "Demon" stems from the link between the facility and Dante Alighieri's Inferno. This epic poem depicts a person's journey through nine levels of Hell.

Impel Down, with its six levels housing dangerous criminals, could be likened to Hell. It is rumored that Laffitte might visit Doflamingo in Impel Down and aid in his escape, hinting at dark events to come in the future.

A theory connecting Brook and Laffitte has gained popularity in the One Piece community. However, this theory does not reveal much about Laffitte's background. This is understandable since Laffitte was initially introduced as a Sheriff known for his infamous reputation, leaving his whereabouts shrouded in mystery.

Brook's current location is a mystery just like Laffitte's. Some fans believe he may be from the Grasshopper Kingdom. This theory surfaced in chapter 501 when a musician was up for auction at the Human Auctioning House. The musician was said to be from the Grasshopper Kingdom, sparking speculation among fans.

Laffitte, as depicted in the anime, has caught the attention of fans. Many believe he may be connected to the same kingdom as Brook. This speculation arises from their shared characteristics, like their wardrobe choices and carrying sticks. Some fans even suspect that Laffitte could have been a member of the Rumbar Pirates, Brook's previous crew.

The Rumbar Pirates died 52 years ago from poison, and Laffitte is currently 41 years old. Fans wonder how this relationship could make sense. Some speculate that the captain of the Rumbar Pirates, Calico Yorki, who died early in front of his crewmates, might still be alive.

Just like Brook, Laffitte also loves music and is often heard humming a tune. Some fans believe that the song he hums could be "Bink's Sake," which was Yorki's favorite song and the one he requested on his deathbed.

There is a theory among fans that Yorki, who passed away in front of his crew, may have had a family in his hometown in West Blue. Based on these hints, some believe that Laffitte could actually be Calico Laffitte, the son of Yorki.

Fans have also observed an interesting detail: there are no pirates from the West Blue of the Grand Line who have inherited the "D" initial. So, considering all these important clues about Laffitte and his possible connection with Doflamingo (a man fixated on the meaning of the "D"), it is possible that the full name of this Blackbeard Pirate is Calico D. Laffitte.

Conclusion

This theory may not be as crazy as it seems, except for the fact that Laffitte was linked to Doflamingo to receive the "D" initial. A stronger explanation would make this idea more convincing.

However, in future episodes, this theory could actually turn out to be accurate, especially considering the recent focus on the Blackbeard Pirates. It's best to approach this theory with caution and wait for confirmation from an official source.
