[@AnyMe223]

15:00 I'll say it again, so it's here as well. I'm positive Shanks got that scar because Blackbeard mistook the Gomu Gomu no mi with the Yami Yami. There needs to be a reason for both fruits to be that similar

[@jackwalters3928]

Here's why I think you're wrong. In the Caesar arc, Trafalgar switches bodies between some people with his devil fruit. Two of his targets were Smoker and Tashigi. When he does that, Smoker's "soul" (or mind, whatever) goes to Tashigi's body and vice versa. When that happens, their memories, personalities and everything switch, however Smoker's devil fruit power remains in his original body. That means that devil fruits are connected to the physical body and not the soul. Same with Luffy going into that zombie's body in Thriller Bark. The giant-oni zombie could not use Luffy's devil fruit powers. So even if Blackbeard had multiple souls, he would still have one body and therefore be able to consume only one devil fruit. There must be something about his body, as Marco said about it and how it's "strange". Maybe he's a chimera with triple DNA.

[@matthewrandall2767]

Well it wasn’t luffys “soul” which went into oars it was his shadow which seemed to be a different thing

[@AHeranam]

Your wrong the big zombie in triller bark can use luffy's devil fruit, I remember watching it, moira said that give him some time (zombie) he can get use to what he was doing before (using the devil fruit) [non verbatim] , after awhile the zombie starting use all luffys power by saying its word like gom gomo no or all power names/ technique luffy use to say, and then later on he was jumping higher that he can and make his arms long than the usual, if ever luffys shadow was store in that zombie for long im very sure he can use his devil fruit as if he was a copy of luffy Also moira switching shadows not soul.

[@Snub500]

Nah oars wasn’t using luffy devil fruit powers, moriah sad he was just stretching his shadow which made it appear like he was using the gum gum fruit

[@jackwalters3928]

@@AHeranam I remember the zombie mentioning the attacks, but not actually stretching. He was mentioning the attacks because that's how Luffy was used to fight in most of his life. It was like a habit for him to say "gomu gomu no pistol" for example when he punched someone. Also I don't see a difference between a shadow and a soul. They're both "spiritual" stuff and the devil fruit was attached to neither. It was attached to the body.

Going back to the whole Blackbeard multiple personality/soul thing, his teeth and which ones are missing change based on the panel but are consistent otherwise in merchandise.

U heard the brother theory? where Blackbeard has 2 twins and he can hide them in his body with the darkness fruit. When he uses the Gura gura his hand has no rings. Blackbeards using the fruit to change their hand and let him use his brothers hand to use both fruits When his face has all the teeth he probably is a different personality changing into one of the brothers

[@Sonicmaster54]

The Blackbeard sleep theory reminds me of Cavendish. Whenever Cavendish tries to go to sleep he awakens Hakuba a split personality so he's never truly asleep. Perhaps it's the same with Blackbeard.

I thought the reason he was able to have a second fruit was because his Yami Yami lets him absorb the fruits essence and thus prevents it from reincarnating elsewhere.

It could be possible that Blackbeard already had a third devil fruit as a child. Maybe a fruit that allowed him to absorb souls. SPOILERS!!!! Oda revealed recently that Teach has two little sisters. It could be possible Teach ate a soul absorbtion fruit as a kid, something happened to his sisters to were they passed and BB was able to absorb their souls thus allowing him to have the ability to have more than one DF.

[@AegisRick]

Nobody seems to bring it up when they talk about this subject, but the multiple beings thing was brought up explicitly by both Luffy and Zoro way back in Jaya, Chapter 225. Blackbeard gives his iconic "Dreams Never Die" Speech to Luffy and yet he and Zoro ignore him completely and walk away. When Nami prompts them why they didn't ask that guy about Skypiea, Luffy simply states, "Well... It's not just one guy" and Zoro chimes in "There's More than One...". If we want to take that speech more literally, then Xebec's soul is most likely at least one of the ones inhabiting Blackbeard seeing as he bested Shanks no problem and his dream isn't dead yet.

@@BlackangelKatakuri I mean, it's a bit of a leap to say they didn't have Haki until Oda officially established what it was. But it's a fact that both Luffy and Zoro had some kind of feeling. Luffy has the voices of all things, and even normies knew something was off about Teach.

@@FrutoVT I'm thinking maybe because Blackbeard have 3 souls, Shanks could only read 1 soul with observation haki, and suddenly one soul took control of Blackbeard and Shanks couldn't predict the move of the "new" soul. Or Shanks always predicted 3 different moves at the same time with observation haki, which is confusing. It's like fighting 3 different people in a single body, but not knowing which one will hit.

Why would Blackbeard look for the yami-yami specifically if the fruit hadn't a specific ability? Since he can negate other devil fruit powers by touching the users, it's not crazy to assume that he found an even greater power. It might even be his awakened power, but that's really a stretch considering he didn't eat the fruit too long ago. Not sure why people accept the ideas of more souls or having a different body as the answer. If anything, Blackbeard not needing to sleep could just be an elaboration on Marco when he said Blackbeard had a special body. Also, we didn't see Whitbeard's power transfer to a fruit or anything, Blackbeard specifically covered him so no one sees what he is doing, which at this point stands to reason he used his devil fruit ability to acquire a second power.

Since Blackbeard is a D., I assume he was born naturally instead of being created artifically by Vinsmoke Judge and Dr. Vegapunk (based purely on the fact that Blackbeard had access to the book of Devil Fruits). So I find it not unlikely that Blackbeard was either actually a conjoined triplet or got modified to one later, maybe just as an experiment. He escaped when Whitebeard took him in in one of the recent chapters. Something along those lines.

I revisited this video and read some theories and im almost sure that blackbeard are three brother in one body, so the theory is: Blackbeard is a reference of the "Barbarrossa"(Redbeard) pirates brothers Aruj, Hızır, Ishaq and Ilias yes they where 4 but at some point in the history Aruj who was known as Barbarossa was killed and then Hızır took his name and continue his legacy, names are not really important as Oda just uses them as references for example the real life Blackbeard was called Edward Teach but Oda named him Marshall D Teach, so names are just references but investigating a bit more in Redbeard pirates history i found some little intresting facts that like in his carrer the four brothers initially worked as sailors, but then turned privateers in the Mediterranean to counteract the privateering of the Knights Hospitalle of St. John("San Juan" in spanish) and we have Sanjuan Wolf as a member of Teach's crew also the mother of the Redbeards brothers was called Catalina and again we have Catarina Devon as a member, also they where Turkish and the flag of Turkish has a moon and a star similar to the one we see the first time we see Teach as a child crying. So from there on the theory begins, yes the Redbeards where 4 i say that the references maybe is that the 4th brother was Rocks D. Xebec and after dying his brothers took his legacy, then the three brothes that maybe where triplets and could be an explanation of the three skulls in Blackbeard jolly roger, at an early age one of them let's say Teach ate a fruit maybe like the Jake Jake no Mi that Kelly Funk uses in Dressrossa in chapter 716 one brother uses the other as a jacket, well something similar could be the case for Teach but in a way that he can freely change with his triplets and they can manipulate the body completely or partially, so that explains Teach multiple personalities as they are different persons in one body(there is also some of the theory that says that in the manga you can only see Teach missing 3 or 4 teeth and one that has all of them but i dont know if thats true or not i didnt check all of Teach appearances and i know that in the anime you can see him missing 2 o 5 so im a little suspicious in this regard), and that's why in marineford they coverd him in a black cloth as the brothers came out of the body and with the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi he could extract the power of the Gura Gura no Mi from Whitebeard's body and gave it to the last brother to obtain his powers, so that would explain how Shiryu got the Suke Suke no Mi's powers from Absalom and the reason why Teach didn't got a third Akuma no Mi, and finally the first time luffy meets Teach is in Chapter 223 but then in chapter 225 after Teach says to nami that Luffy and Zoro won against Bellamy and says that a mans dream never ends, he ask luffy where were they going luffy says to the sky island and Teach raply hope you make it then Nami all confuse say's to luffy that maybe he knows something about the sky island then luffy replys "Dunno, but it's not him..." and Zoro add "It's Them... most likely", so for some reason they knew it was more than one Teach or maybe at that point in time both shown that the where able to hear the voices of all things? well that most of it i hope you can read this and tell me your opinion about this i think knowing Oda he most certainly would have give as hints about Teach secrets and all of this is just too perfect for me.

Rocks being one of the 3 souls inhabiting Teach’s body is so plausible to me

[@vidjudge]

We know that teach has strange anatomy, and was considered a kind of monster by shanks and buggy, His teeth missing and being whole can be explained away as a design mistake by Oda. Though it would be entertaining to see if this is in fact a subtly overlooked clue that hits at his true nature, perhaps Rocks survived the battle thanks to an unknown devil fruit power, found blackbeard his...offspring or younger brother, and he and encouraged him to take the yami yami no mi devil fruit even taking over his personality at times through some kind of body possession (multiple souls) (gives credit to seeming multiple personalities, a younger vulnerable, sensitive type, the hardened ruthless rocks type personality) and perhaps since this trio likes 3s and Oda is all about that symbolism a third brother, either a parasitic twin, actual brother, or clone that comes into play later, this one eats the third devil fruit, thus gives him 3 bodies to harness the power of his 3 devil fruits. To protect his secret the Yami Yami no mi allows him to switch or draw out any of the brothers at any time, or switch them up so that each brother could theoretically take damage or use his power as needed. As for the possibility of his final devil fruits. One the most powerful logia, one the most powerful paramecia, and finally maybe the most mysterious or underestimated mythical zone type, the oni oni no mi. (that while not directly the strongest, gives the user supernatural powers that could potentially make it the strongest) With this Oni are spirits, so theres your spiritual connection, (initially weak) causing death and destruction and fear makes the oni oni more powerful and not fearing it or death is how you weaken it so it cant feed off your own emotions like a spiritual vampire. (how rocks gets most powerful) When it kills a creature it can absorb some of their soul to heal or store for later consumption to power itself up making it a juggernaught in its "beast" form. It can also detach into a spiritual astral projection like form, phase matter, ghost shit possess people, feed off their soul to keep the user sustained or even control them if they're weak willed or dont possess conquerors haki to defend against this. Its awakening can simply make it so that it can fuse its ghostly manifestation with the physical body, but one must have come close to death itself to unlock this ultimate talent of the fruit.

I always just thought it was in a loose way, similar to how big mom got her fruit. She ate someone [mother caramel] who had a devil fruit and gained the power. I view it as the character being a temp-active container for the devil fruit [and a temp-passive container when in fruit form]. And like how black holes can "eat" matter, I figured the yami-yami no mi was eating just the devil fruit within its own subspace [when he sucks things in], and creating a pseudo container with his power.

[@napdragon94]

I wonder what Blackbeard would've done if Thatch had eaten the yami yami no mi? 🤔 He must know about the reincarnation cycle so I guess he would've just killed him & got it that way, in fact maybe that's what happened or why not just ask for it? Thatch could've refused & that's why he got killed. Pretty much everything about Blackbeard is a mystery I bet he scarred Shanks when they were teenagers after Roger died

So maybe if BB was covered in COMPLETE darkness no light whatsoever he could absorb anything including df abilities since we did not see the fruit being reincarnated BB just absorbed before it left WB body and he may not be able to sleep because remember on drum island when luffy told sanji " People from snowy islands don't sleep".

My theory is that blackbeard, in a previous lifetime, was given "immortality" from the Ope Ope no Mi It sounds dumb but hear me out... Maybe Immortality in this way doesn't work like we thought it did? maybe when the immortal person dies they are reborn in another's body? I think 2 lifetimes ago someone who was a Genius tactician was given immortality I think when they died, they were reborn as Rocks, who then added a Front-line idiotic fighter who wanted chaos and I think when Rocks finally died, he became blackbeard, who added a nice innocent personality. I mean think about it, Blackbeard admitted he joined the crew because it was his best bet to find the Yami we recently found out he joined at 12 years old....that's kinda young in my opinion for someone to already know so much about devil fruits, unless they were able to read it in a past lifetime? In fact, maybe the first lifetime was someone who knew about the Yami, and he pushed Rocks to build a crew to find it, but failed?

I'll come back to this when it is revealed in the manga

[@reperfan4]

I get the feeling things are simpler than people imagine. Personally, I call my theory the "infinite mass" theory, and it's primarily based off of two things. 1. Devil Fruits exploding the body is specifically mentioned as the spirits within the fruits fighting for space with each other. The only reason the body explodes is as a result of the two spirit's battling applying force from the inside. 2. The darkness of the Yami Yami no Mi is pretty explicitly shown to be in the veins of a "black hole" interpretation specifically as opposed to a vaguer "lack of light." Think of it more like a logia that turns him into a "black hole" rather than just "darkness" in general. Basically, if you put these two facts together and assume that Blackbeard's body has the properties of an actual Black Hole, then anything he takes into his body gets compressed into a singular point and literally takes up no more "space" than he allows it to. If this is true, _then this could very well include devil fruit spirits as well._ He just takes a spirit into his body and compresses it down. This means it doesn't have to "share space" with any other spirits and therefore his body can hold multiple spirits without exploding because his body having infinite mass means no spirit inside of it ever has to "compete for space." This explains not only Blackbeard's obsession with the fruit before he had it (since you would need the Yami Yami no Mi before any other fruits to be able to follow through with this "technique") but also why his crew seems to be oriented towards gathering and taking out other devil fruit users specifically after he was able to test the theory for the first time on Whitebeard. With this "compression" of the spirit and a black hole being able to essentially compress things infinitely, that means he can theoretically hold an infinite amount of fruits, not just two or three like all the other theories propose. If it was double souls or the cerberus theory, then it wouldn't make sense for him to gather fruits in mass, rather he'd likely go after the two or three most powerful ones he knew about. But instead he's going after ALL of them, which only makes sense if he had plans for ALL of them. Also, it still falls under the description of "having an unusual body." Admittedly there IS a bit of room for this still to be wrong as point #1 was told in the sense that it was a kind of folklore or myth, so if we ever meet someone like Vegapunk who actually knows the inner mechanisms of devil fruits it could change up that explanation. Also point #2 is based off of the fact that as a "black hole" is really the only way we've actually seen Blackbeard use its powers and it's possible the fruit covers a wider array of abilities (though even if it could it doesn't really invalidate my theory). Lastly is that he could just be collecting as many fruits as possible simply to deny their powers to other pirate crews rather than having any actual plans for them himself. But by and large I think "his body is a black hole, and therefore has infinite space to be able to hold multiple spirits inside his body" is the simplest explanation that still has logical explanations based on what we currently know about him and his powers without having to try and conjure up too many new ideas.

[@Niko-pt9li]

[@langerovermill9296]

Theory: Black beards devil fruit the yami yami nomi is not just darkness but litterally a black hole fruit evidence to support this is shown in 1. He can nullify other peoples devil fruit abilities.(temporarally sucking the abilities in while he touches them) 2. Pull people to him like a black hole's gravitational pull. 3. Make a coat of darkness to suck in people, shown in know down when Black beard appeared. 4. Black beard absorbs more damage than a normal person. This means that it's possible that if blackbeard eats another devil fruit, the devil in the yami yami nomi absorbs the other devil fruit's devil causing blackbeard's intolorence to pain to increase but keeping the other devil fruit. Also if were being straight up if this isn't the case then the yami yami nomi isn't that good and it's not much better than other logia fruits. why would blackbeard go through the trouble of waiting on a pirate crew he dispised for 10-30 years, and then killing one of their commanders causing one of if not the most powerful pirate crew in the world to want to kill him just to get a slightly above average fruit.

Imo, Blackbeard's 3rd devil fruit will have to do with lightning, it may be enel's but hopefully it's a mythical zoan that controls lightning. I think each of the three heads represents the top 3 Greek gods, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Hades because of his yami yami no mi and of course Cerberus (three headed dog) Poseidon because he was the God of earthquakes and Blackbeard has the gura gura no mi Zeus because it completes the trio. I hope he gets a zoan so he'll have all three types of df, but I suspect that he will get enel's fruit since it was claimed to be of the "invincible class" and Oda may wanna make blackbeard seem as op as possible. TL;DR Blackbeard's devilfruits represent the top 3 Greek gods and his next one will be lightning/storm related.

3 skulls, 3 pistols, 3 beard dreadlocks thingy, 2 DFs? Teach will def have a third devil fruit sometimes in the future maybe Kaidu's devil fruit? just imagine a laughing (Zehahahahaha) rampaging dragon with Yami Yami powers in a hand and Gura Gura powers in the other hand! that would be something out of a nightmare lol

[@logancrawford0319]

I think his 3rd devil fruits is gonna be Morias .why else would Oda show moria at beehive island

[@BlackangelKatakuri]

Logan Crawford He already has a paramecia I doubt Oda would give him two of the same type .

[@eddyeldridge7427]

@@BlackangelKatakuri Yeah, I was gonna say. I'd imagine Oda/Teach would want the single strongest of each type he can get.

That doesn't explain the sleep thing at all though lmao.

@@thegreenergrass66 Think 1 maybe 2 person in BB Body and 1 of them sleeping all the time he dosn't need any sleep [ it is the anime logic here :D ]

"A Falafel Stone" - Tekking 2019

[@artydomi2466]

Barry ate the Brick Brick fruit and became a Brick Human. Thats why he can talk to Tekking

Smart theory

[@haricharangokul3596]

Make a video about this telling. I have a theory that buggy is actually strong but is maintaining a low profile so as to keep an eye on luffy as per shanks' order.

[@TheMeTreeHouse]

So around 6:00 it reminded me of that dude, who I think was named Cavendish? On dressrosa, but when he passed out he became blood lusted. Maybe that dude is connected to blackbeard, like whatever put that crazed soul in his body put a soul in blackbeard as well. Like experiment stuff
