The thing is that Burgess in Dressarosa seemed to have the ability to do it too, since he was talking about killing Sabo and taking his fruit. Maybe he just meant he’d drag his corpse all the way back for Blackbeard to do it.

No, he was planning to kill Sabo and have the fruit's power transfer to one of the fruits he's carrying.

Do you have the chapter for that? Because I reread that part a few weeks ago and I don’t remember him carrying any fruits.

He doesnt have a fruit

Oh you meant the ability of having 2 fruit powers, not taking the fruit from a dead body. Marco said it was due to Blackbeard’s unique body, something he had before eating the Dark fruit(for example in the flashback it was revealed he doesn’t/can’t sleep).

I'm pretty sure that Blackbeard just ate some of Whitebeard. Like, that's how Big Mom got her fruit power.

There's also that bit where Zoro and Luffy seem to get the idea that Blackbeard is multiple guys in one, or something like that.
I am looking forward to learning just what the heck is up with Teach, but I also like it as a weird creepy mystery.

They were talking about how Blackbeard wasn't alone, seeing as they'd already run into a couple of his crew members. If Jaya journey level Luffy and Zoro could tell that Blackbeard was some sort of multi-being then everyone would already know what was up. The Division Commanders, New World Captains, Admirals, Vice Admirals, and Sengoku wouldn't be baffled by Blackbeard using two fruits sense they would be able to tell at that point as well.

Yeah, it was just after Luffy and Blackbeard argued about cherry pies. Then Luffy and Zoro let Bellamy hit them a little before they left the shop. That's when Blackbeard did his little speech about Dreams and congratulated them on winning.

Chapter 225 is when they have their conversation about it not just being him. Then in 234 we find out that he's actually Blackbeard and get a spread with his present crew. Also the spread has a helpful normal sized dude in the frame to show that the whole crew is tall as all gently caress.

yeah i mean being able to literally blackhole someone into your grasp and also they lose their power while in your grasp IS pretty strong vs fruit users so it could be just that. man blackbeard is cool and no matter what there's something fucky about him. multiple fruits is still to this point incredibly unique

It was chapter 786/787. Burgess was planning to kill Luffy to take his fruit and he was carrying a bag that had a pattern that looked like the kind Devil Fruits have. We know that when a Devil Fruit user dies, the fruit power immediately goes to a nearby fruit, based on what happened in Punk Hazard. Sabo intervened, and Burgess changed plans to go after Sabo.

So do we think Doflamingo came to Marineford with some extra fruits on the off chance a powerful devil fruit user died so he could snag their power? Or did the Mera-Mera just go to some nearby island with vegetation and one of his associates managed to snag it?

I'm still going with the theory that Teach assimilated a twin in-utero, maybe even Rusty Venture style, and that assimilated twin is what lets him use more than one fruit.

I was thinking the other day that the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to suppress Devil Fruits might have suppressed the deadly consequences of eating a second one as well--but from this page apparently I forgot about an implication that Blackbeard already seemed to have the power to consume a second Devil Fruit? There goes that.

He was noted to never sleep during the Oden flashback, when he was still on Whitebeard's crew before obtaining the Yami-Yami. If he did have a twin brother to switch places with they must have been super sneaky to get away with it then.

He was going to steal it by killing him and hoping it transferred into his bag full of fruits. It's why he travelled with a big ol sack of fruits I thought?

I wonder if Blackbeard does his fruit-stealing trick and then gives his crewmates the power like All For One or if they just capture fruit users and then kill them in proximity to a fruit.

Maybe when Vega Punk shows up he'll have a way to remove devil fruits without killing the person. Because I really want to see someone else being all excited to be a rubber man and have the power of Luffy, only to discover it's all but worthless without a decade plus of practice and idiot savant ingenuity. Then Luffy gets it back.
