The idea that Blackbeard covered up what he was doing with Whitebeard because he actually has a plant that grows every kind of fruit that he's using to extract Devil Fruit would actually be kind of amazing. Maybe they're all the size of cherries.

Part of me wonders if one of the abilities of his darkness fruit is to put a 'freeze' on the spirit of the escaping 'devil' ability like some sort of tractor beam that holds it in place/limbo/whatever, then he pops out a normal fruit he's been storing in his jacket and guides the wandering spirit to take over his onhand fruit. Then he just eats it and wham bam, you got yourself a new fruit user.

The problem with my theory is that it doesn't explain what Burgess was gonna do when he tried to gut Luffy like a fish back in Dressrosa, but at least it was fun to think about :v:

I like the idea that you can totally eat multiple fruits, you just can't eat more than one of a classification. So a maximum of 3 fruits. It's just that like 90% of all devil fruits are paramecia, and any experiments probably had people eating two paramecias.

Franky eats the ColaCola fruit and becomes the most powerful being in One Piece until Luffy purses his lips into the shape of a silly straw and drinks him.

I kinda feel if the whole "eating 2 fruits kill you" thing was a lie, then the other Blackbeard captains would also be sporting multiple fruits.
It does seem to be something unique to Blackbeard himself at this point.

does the timeline align enough for Blackbeard to be a Xebec clone? I feel he's too old for that right?

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



Blackbeard is 40 years old and The Rocks Pirates got their asses whooped 38 years ago. Dont think he's a clone, he looks nothing like what we've seen of Rocks so far.

Decent chance he’s a son or some other kind of relative. If not blood related he definitely seems to be leaning towards the Luffy to Rocks’ Roger type of inherited will.

Nah that would be lame and it wouldn't make sense for Vegapunk to have overlooked such an obvious possibility. I don't remember if this has been already addressed, but it wouldn't surprise me if Vegapunk was the one who came up with the classification system in the first place.

That being said, it IS kinda conspicuous that the two-fruit explosion lore has not been mentioned since Enies Lobby. I suspect that the explanation will strongly hint at what makes Blackbeard special, and Oda is keeping that particular card close to his chest until he's ready to make the big reveal.

Right, inherited will would explain why he’s so driven - something has to, Oda wouldn’t let this plot end without a tragic backstory flashback.

Really bad RNG on how long it took for the darkness fruit to spawn but after that it's been smooth sailing

I support the Cerberus Zoan theory.

The funny thing is that this implies Orochi had the potential to become extremely dangerous. Though maybe not; I suspect that in addition to the hard limit of one DF per neck, there’s a chance of weird medical complications from multiple DFs that weren’t meant to be used together; eating multiple Logias is probably inadvisable no matter how many heads you have, for instance.

Also that someone else grabbed it first, I kinda doubt being on the Whitebeard Pirates’ shitlist was a part of his master plan even if everything just always works out for him by just winging it hard.

I think he always planned to quit the Whitebeard Pirates eventually and start his own crew, but yes, I think he hoped to leave on more amicable terms than after killing a Division Commander.

Blackbeard is so reasonable/rational that I'm surprised he straight up killed the guy. I guess it was a tough fight or something and he didnt have a way around him.

I understood it to mean that he'd have lived out his whole life waiting for the darkness fruit there (and it would have been fine). But finding that fruit meant his dream was alive and it was time to do whatever it is he's up to.
