Even though this character is an important member of the Blackbeard Pirates, his past is still shrouded in mystery. The information known so far is limited.

Citing from several sources, below is some information about his background that is already known.

  • Origin: Van Augur is from the Grand Line, but details regarding his birthplace or childhood have not been revealed.
  • Joining the Blackbeard Pirates: He joined this pirate crew during the Marineford incident and before the New Pirates era.

Although details remain scant, the fact that he had been with Blackbeard for a long time and was believed to have held an important position as a primary marksman indicates he possessed high levels of ability and loyalty.

As the One Piece story progresses, it is possible that Oda sensei will reveal more about his past and his role in the Blackbeard Pirates. Keep following the development of the story to find out the next surprise!

Devil Fruits and Their Powers

Van Augur ate the Wapu Wapu no Mi Devil Fruit, which gave him the ability to teleport. This ability is unique and not possessed by many characters in One Piece.

This Paramecia Devil Fruit allows him to move people or objects from one place to another. For example, he teleported Jesus Burgess from the ship to a nearby island in an instant in One Piece 1063.

This ability suits him perfectly, a marksman, as he can shift positions quickly to get the best shot.

Before Van Augur showed the power of his Devil Fruit, Wapu Wapu no Mi, we were familiar with Trafalgar Law's Ope Ope no Mi. This Devil Fruit has many abilities, including Shambles, which allows Law to move himself, friends, enemies, and objects within his "ROOM".

However, Shambles works by swapping positions, like Law swapping places with objects to avoid attacks. Meanwhile, Wapu Wapu no Mi, based on observations so far, looks like simple teleportation without changing positions.

In short, the Ope Ope no Mi has a more complex teleportation capability with position swaps, while the Wapu Wapu no Mi appears to offer simple teleportation without swaps.
