Bloodbeard was disappointed when peace was declared after Daenerys Targaryen married Hizdahr zo Loraq as he was looking forward to sacking Meereen. After Daenerys Targaryens disappearance on Dragonback, Tyrion Lannister while a slave under Yurkhaz zo Yunzak overheard in the Yunkai camp that Bloodbeard recommend they send the hostages given over to them back to Meereen via catapault.

Bloodbeard along with the new commanders of Yunkai army presented the head of captain Groleo to Hizdahr in retaliation for the death of the Yunaki commander Yurkhaz zo Yunzak (the man died trampled by a mob in panic).
