Where does the “Blackbeard Quote” meme come from?

Blackbeard, real name Marshall D. Teach, is one of the main antagonists of Eiichiro Oda’s manga One Piece. He captures Ace, which sets off the war against Whitebeard’s crew and leads to Whitebeard’s death, and two years later he is considered to have taken Whitebeard’s place among the Emperors. His name points to the English pirate Edward Teach, killed on 22 November 1718.
