So the 7th Shichibukai has been revealed and it wasn’t any character that we have known, it’s a new character revealed to be the son of Edward Newgate. Weeble is a strange character that doesn’t seem anything like his dad, Whitebeard, and is a lot more comedic and less epic than him. It would seem strange for Oda to leave a successor to Whitebeard who was so inadequate but I think the interesting thing here is that Weeble was not a member of Whitebeard’s crew. Whitebeard always talked about how all he ever wanted was to have a family so if he had a son of his own flesh and blood why wouldn’t he let him join his crew and be a part of his family?

One explanation is that Weeble is too evil and Whitebeard would not accept him as his son due to his lack of morals since we know Whitebeard is a very principled man due to how he reacted to Blackbeard’s treachery. This seems plausible since Weeble is violent and seems like he is going to be a villain as he casually pillages towns and oppose the remaining Whitebeard pirates.

The other possibility which I think most people would agree with is that he is simply not Whitebeard’s son and that Whitebeard didn’t accept him because he didn’t know about him. While Weeble does have some physical resemblance to Whitebeard in size and facial hair his personality is nothing like him. So why does Weeble think he is Whitebeard’s son? Because his mother is tricking him. His mom, Miss Bucking, already seems like a shady character and since Weeble is most likely a simpleton (mentally handicapped) it would be easy to lie to him about his heritage. There is an important clue that Weeble and Bucking are not actually related to Whitebeard as Oda chooses to introduce them as “self proclaimed” family instead of simply stating that they are his son and lover.

But what is the whole goal of this besides simply gaining power for her and her son? Now this is where I get into my theory which right now I’m still waiting on some more hard evidence. That Weeble’s mom is connected to the Yonko, Big Mom. When they are leaving the island Miss Bucking mentions that she needs to hear what their next assignment is. Centre right panel

Thus thats a strong indicator that Miss Bucking isn’t just manipulating her son for her own gain but is in fact taking orders or at least directions from someone else who tells her where/who Weeble should attack next and I believe that person to be Big Mom.

There are some immediate strange similarities between Weeble’s mom and the Big Mom Pirates as she is a weird looking woman who wears heavy lipstick just like Big Mom herself and Lola who is likely to be apart of the crew as well. Weeble’s mom also seems similar in character to Big Mom as she is looked up to and relied upon as a mother and she is greedy and interested in material things like money just like how Big Mom wants candy when most other characters in the series just want power in terms of control and strength.
The more important distinction however are her sunglasses, now plenty of characters wear sunglasses but her glasses specifically look like the same ones worn by Big Mom’s subordinates Pekoms and Baron Tamago.

Besides some coincidental similarities in appearance my next clue is that Weeble’s actions directly seem to benefit Big Mom. Weeble hates Blackbeard since he killed his “dad” so he would be willing to fight Blackbeard who as one of the other Yonko is one of Big Mom’s biggest enemy. The more important thing that Weeble is doing though is fighting the Whitebeard pirates, because he is jealous of them, which has resulteded in destroyed towns. But what towns would the Whitebeard Pirates be fighting at? Most likely they would be trying to defend Whitebeard’s former territories to continue his legacy. Now what islands do we know that used to Whitebeard’s former territories? Fishman Island which we now see after the TS is not being defended by the Whitebeard Pirates but is now coincidentally owned and extorted by Big Mom. Weeble’s Mom also seems to specifically want her son to take out the Whitebeard Pirates because they gain money from it. I don’t see why fighting the Whitebeard Pirates would provide more money then taking down any random group of strong pirates so it seems Bucking and her constituents are interested in the systematic destruction of the Whitebeard Pirates. If this theory is true it would be because Whitebeard’s territories are a great opportunity for Big Mom’s schemes and she will pay Weeble’s mom for Weeble clearing them.

tl;dr
Edward Weeble may not be Whitebeard’s actual son and his mom is an associate of Big Mom who is tricking him into unintentionally fighting Big Mom’s enemies namely the Whitebeard Pirates so Big Mom can sweep into his former territories and “give them protection”/run a racketeering scheme.

***SPOILER ALERT***

Here are a few things about Weeble that I have noted. Now, I know I’m totally unique in making a Weeble theory, not like I’ve seen five of them already, all of which seem to be very concrete. So here, I’m going to talk about Weeble’s fighting style and powers as well as his relation with Whitebeard.

So, part 1: how is Weeble related to Whitebeard?
I personally believe that Weeble is infact a Zombie. Many people think he is a hoax. And my idea blends two palinodes of the spectrum together. He is a Zombie, who is made of parts of Whitebeards body, technically making him Whitebeards own flesh and blood, quite literally. The Hoax is in Bucking, whom is not a lover but rather a subordinate from somebody’s crew…

Now, let’s have a look:

He has stitches like Moriah’s Zombies! One thing I also noticed was his Moustache is around the same size as Whitebeards moustache. Or rather, half of his moustache. It looks bigger on this fella because he is smaller but I genuinely think that is Whitebeard’s moustache.

Now you may ask, why would Moriah make a Zombie out of Whitebeard? Why didn’t he use the entire corpse? If he is a Whitebeard Zombie he should look like Whitebeard, right? Well, to answer the latter, Whitebeard was completely #rekt by the end of the war. This is why Moriah only used certain pieces of Whitebeards body: explaining the immense difference in appearance.

Now, remember the insane strength that Kizaru mentioned?

That is literally Whitebeard’s strength. They have the same arms. Moriah made Weeble because he needed a new super powerful Zombie. Initially wanting to use Oz, he had a far better and more powerful corpse to use: should he ever find the location of it’s gravesite: Whitebeard’s. This is in order to seek vengeance upon Kaidou, and his old crewmember, the sole survivor from Kaidou’s attack; Bucking, was in on this plan and keen to reap vengeance too.

Of course, given such tiny evidence, it’s still very much in the balance.

Now, part 2: what are his powers and how does he fight?
Like all Shichibukai (except Buggy), he has a Animal theme. The strength of the themes of each Shichibukai varies from one to another (e.g. very weak with Law, very strong with Hancock and Jinbe), I believe that Weeble is very strongly related to his animal theme: Weevils.

As we know:
Dracule Mihawk = Hawk (Hawk eyes….)
Crocodile = Crocodile (In his name, Bananadiles, Most crocodiles live in rivers in desert habitats)
Donquixote Doflamingo = Flamingo (Pink feather coat, long legs and awkward positions)
Bartholomew Kuma = Bear (Kuma means bear, paws)
Gekko Moriah = Bat + Gecko (Shadows, bats are signature move, Gecko is in his name)
Boa Hancock = Snake (Snake Princess, pet snake Salome)
Jinbe = Whaleshark (A Whaleshark fishman, summons Whalesharks like Gandalf summons eagles)
Trafalgar D. Water Law = Tiger (“Torao”… will fight Fujitora, Whisteria tiger in future, in my opinion)
Edward Weeble = Weevil

Now, why is Weeble based on Weevils? Well: firstly, his name is very similar. Secondly, his body is also shaped similarly to a Weevil. His moustache also reminds me of Antennae.

What is interesting about this link is that some Bats and Gecko’s both eat Weevils among other pray. These animals are Moriah’s themes. This strengthens the links between Moriah and Weeble. Now, knowing this, assuming he is a zombie he automatically has the following traits:

• No sense of pain
• No fatigue

Now, this being said, given his shape and size, he likely uses his body in a similar fashion to the likes of Machvise, this is only strengthened and used intelligently as he has no sense of pain: making it easy for him to fight putting his body on the line.

Now, this being said, as he is partly made of Whitebeard, he will likely have immense stamina and power. His muscular strength is almost innumerable and incalculable, as can be seen by the ship in the middle of the town in the background:

He has another benefit from Whitebeard’s flesh. He is likely similar to Kaido in a sense that his skin is likely to be far more impenetrable than normal skin, due to Whitebeard’s muscularity it will help to avoid injury, making him very much like a total tank, it will take a lot to hurt this guy, and even then he won’t feel the pain.

With the everincreasing importance of SMILE devil fruits, it’s also very plausible that to further strengthen his new Zombie, Moriah will have fed a SMILE devil fruit to Weeble. This Devil Fruit, believe it or not is a Weevil devil fruit. The Mushi Mushi no Mi Model: Zoumushi. (Oh yeah, Elephant Beatle likely symbolises he will be involved on Zou, if not, then it at least resembles the arc of his introduction). What benefits would he have a Weevil-Man?

Weevils:
-Immense appetites, given his size, he could have a huge appetite as is symbolic of and stereotypical of large guts. This is just one means of being destructive.
-His shell is immensely strong, making him even more of a tank than before
-Six limbs just gives him even more ability and means to destroy things, his strength will be even more devastating

Now, I’m sure there’s one question on everyone’s minds: If he’s a Zombie then how did Bucking hurt him?

That’s because I believe that Weeble is in fact still partly alive, as in the fact that his legs and body do not go together makes me think his legs are his weak spots. They look frail too. I believe his legs were preserved and kept alive by Hogback after an incredible discovery (which will later aid Chopper to cure any disease or injury including amputations).

Now, I know a lot of this is a longshot, but it would be amazing if this was true.
