In the first picture, the Beast Titan says:

In the second picture, can we conclude that there are other titan shifters who
fight against humanity?

According to chapter 86 **(major spoilers ahead)** ,

> Total of 9 shifters can exist simultaneously. At least seven of them can be

For your first question,

**Does this mean there are other colonies with people like those from the
Reiss family who can control titans?** The conversation you showed only
implies that there is another colony (or colonies) outside of the Walls that
aims to recover the Founding Titan. It does not immediately imply that said
colony (or colonies) can control titans, only that they know of the Founding
Titan and possibly its abilities.

Contrary to an earlier answer here, you _need_ to be of royal blood to use the
true power of the Founding Titan. In **Chapter 106** , it was mentioned that
Eren was only able to use the Titan Control when his hand came into contact
with the titan Dina Fritz. [Not just anyone can control titans as the power is
'locked' unless the possessor is of royal blood or is in contact with a person
of royal blood](https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/Founding_Titan). Also,
not just anyone can inherit the 9 titan-shifters as [only Subjects of Ymir can
be turned to titans via
injection](https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/Titan_injection) and possess
or inherit them. Even if a titan-shifter dies, [they are inherited by another
person born after the previous possessor who must also be a Subject of
Ymir](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/49496/what-happens-to-a-titan-
shifter-if-they-die-without-being-eaten), and not just by some random person.

For your second question,

**Can we conclude that there are other titan shifters who fight against
humanity?** This matters depending on the perspective. Based on that
conversation, you can only conclude that there are other people which seem to
have the same objective and goal as Zeke and the other honorary Marleyans sent
to recover the Founding Titan. _For Marleyans, they see Eldians as a threat to
humanity because of the suffering they experience in the past_ under the
Eldian empire, hence there desire to take away the titan-shifter powers from
them. _For Eldians, they see Marley as a threat to humanity because of how
they keep on trying to kidnap Eren, their biggest hope in fighting back
against the titans_. Are they really fighting for humanity or are they just
fighting for their own survival?
