I am currently watching _One Piece_ and I'm at the part where Luffy is trying
to escape Impel Down. Blackbeard appears at the entrance to Impel Down when
Luffy and Co. starts the escape from Level 6.

I didn't understood what Blackbeard is looking for at Impel Down. In the first
place, I thought he wanted to fight Magellan but after been poisoned, I think
his goal wasn't this.

What is Blackbeard's purpose?

Why is Blackbeard in Impel Down?


Well, if you really want to know, you can watch the arc to the end since
everything will be "explained" there, or you can read the spoiler.

If you really want to know ahead, [Darjeeling's
comment](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/43570/why-is-blackbeard-in-
impel-down#comment58411_43570) told you what happened:

> The whole reason Blackbeard took the title (Shichibukai) is so he can gain
> access to Impel Down and recruit some new members. He descended to the last
> level (6) where the most dangerous criminals are held (for the info, even
> the existence of this level is unknown to the general public) and recruited
> the members there. However, he made a competition. He told the prisoners to

> joined the crew, the former chief guard of Impel Down, Shiryu (Shiliew).

Anyway, I recommend you watch the anime/read the manga and find out this on
your own.
