If we accept the theory that Lafitte has the Owl/Strix devil Fruit, that leans to another pararel between him and Brook. As Strix, Lafitte would represent the frightning aspect of the death - the fearful, predatory, the gruesome. While on the other hand Brook is a skeleton wearing bright, colorful outfits which makes him quite reminiscent of La Catrina - a notable part of the Day of the Dead, which is a very positive and joyous holiday.

[@deadontheoutside4692]

If you want to go even deeper the owl in North America/some southern America mythology’s is associated with death, sorcery and evil. There are meso-American gods, as well as the mythological figured called La Lechuza a woman wronged in life come back to take revenge who can turn into an owl. But that’s just some fun fact :).

[@artist0154]

Personally I think is something else, every other Blackbeard fruit is something so simple, nothing weird, strength fruit, teleport fruit, ice fruit, earthquake fruit, so having a weird animal like the Strix is off even the other prehistoric/mythologic zoans are something common or well know Personally I think Laffite has the Inmortal Crane, so it could be something more simple the guy who died vs the guy who can't die

@@artist0154 to be completely fair, alot of them are relatively simple because they may have been some of the earliest fruits planned, either at Jaya or before then.

Man, if the "dying is necessary to awaken Zoan fruits" theory is true and it retcons Pell's death into an intentional hint i'm gonna laugh so hard.

[@LocalPlagueDoc]

I mean, both Chaka and Pell had fruits that lined up with Alabasta's guardians, being the Jackal and the Falcon. And since these are based on Anubis and Horus respectively, i think Oda could easily give him a resurrection awakening under the guise of "they were actually Hito-Hitos all this time!", or something like that. 🤔

Maybe this is a stretch, but I think Lafitte's Devil Fruit is some kind of angel fruit. A bird zoan sounds kind of boring, especially for a member of a the final enemy pirate crew in the series. Plus, an angel fruit would explain the wings and why Lafitte's still alive: angels are often said to be able to perform miracles. Maybe the 'miracle' Lafitte's fruit granted him was saving him from the brink of death.

I've always believed that Laffitte has the Magician Magician fruit: - Wears a top hat (just like magician use to make things appear, like bunnies or doves). - Has dove wings (instead of coming up from the hat, he incorporates it to his body). - Usually it's the assistance that tap dances, but there are magicians who include that as part of their show. - Uses hypnosis.

lafitte is far from my favourite blackbeard pirate (probably right in the middle), but he's definitely the one im most interested in learning more about. i really hope there's something special to his character that separates him from the rest of the non-kuzan crew. whether he's a traitor, has been manipulating/grooming blackbeard in a sort of trebol-doflamingo way, or that crack theory about him being hattori is actually true. i just want something crazy.

[@DrGamer365]

Calling it here: Lafitte's fruit is the "Swan-Swan Fruit" >White wings >Swans are known for dancing, either for courtship in mating or to establish territory >a "Swan Song" is a term for the someone's "Final Act," which could just have been Lafitte eating the fruit and entering a "second life"

[@RoachDoggJr.-mx4fp]

I think the most solid theory on what Lafitte's fruit is would be that he has an angel zoan. First, because Black Beard's crew is known for going after the absolute best devil fruits, either in strength or utility. It wouldn't make any sense for BB's right hand man to just have a random bird fruit. Second, look at Lafitte's wings. He grows an extra set of limbs to serve as wings. Every bird type fruit we've seen, including mythical and ancient zoans, has the users arms transform into wings during a partial transformation. I don't think Oda just forgot about that when drawing Lafitte in these scenes.

Also notable for OWLs is their Silence. They only make noise to call threats or territory- basically to check who is paying attention. Brook is always making sound to reassure people and himself that he is not alone. Some kind of sound muffling effect would put LaFeet on a more even field with Brook being immune to hypnosis if both of them have difficulty affecting the other. Thus having them default to the far easier to draw high speed sword fight

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

First this is exactly one of the match ups between the crews I want which I imagine that during this fight the Tone Dial in Brook’s skull will fall out which Laffitte (his age is 41 but maybe Brook fought his father / grandfather) will or maybe try to dance on it like stomping on Brook’s dream causing him to awaken his Revive-Revive Fruit which will grant him for a short time call forth the souls of people that was close to him like his convoy members, Yorki along with the Rumbar Pirates, & even Pedro to fight along with him which I call “Battle of the Band’s Reunion”

[@zaremordor2753]

In my opinión Laffite's fruit is not a birds zoan, because bird zoans transfor a part of their body into wings (normally the arms, seen with Pell and Marco), but Laffite grows the wings directly from his back, so (in my opinion), it may be an angel mythical zoan, as he doesn't seem to age, is very pale and knows how to conceal his presence very well, and he could be considered the guardian angel of Blackbeard (stretching a lot right here), as he seems to do things that would benefit him by himself. Edit: the strix also applies the wing-arm thing, and everything else fits better, so ignore my previous statements

[@AwareWolftheShyGuardian]

I'm not sure the Straw Hats are ready yet. Zoro is ready for Shiryu, but beyond that I don't know. I think Sanji will have to fight Catarina and she will force him to hit a woman and likely turn into Nami. Blackbeard is terrifying and Luffy will likely need help with him. Luffy is straightforward and has no deception whatsoever whereas Blackbeard makes a plan build around guile and misdirection and executes it while still able to improvise when something goes amiss. Aokiji is a big wild card. There's a chance he won't be active on either side of the fight though after letting the crew go in the past I don't see him fighting them now. I think he could possibly solo the entire crew.

[@vasile-vladivanovici9430]

A lot of people probably came to the same conclusion, that Brook's DF awakening will allow him to contact the spirit world and the ghosts of the dead will come to aid. I'd like to add to your idea that he will make homies out of his instruments with the spirits of his former crew. Lafitte will destroy them one by one, so Brook will say, just like when he recorded Bink's Sake: Quartet, trio, duo, (final slash) SOLO! Or would the reverse, in which he brings back more and more crew members work better actually?

[@FelipeFrotaBass]

[@Distant_View]

[@prince_nocturne]

Here's another connection with Brooke and Laffite having an owl. Owl Pellets. Filled with the one thing Owls cannot deal with once consuming their prey: Bones.

[@StephenMeek]

I think Brooke is going to be able to call forth the spirits of people who have died, probably limited either to people he knew/ was close to or to people he has a close link with (maybe even going as far as people like Nami's mom or Ace, even though he never met them). It may also just be people who died in the area where he's using the ability. It'd be amazing to see a fight with all of the people we miss coming in to help in a seemingly hopeless situation. Imagine Firefist happening and when the screen turns, it's not Sabo, but Ace doing it.

[@terrdavis]

nice points. (and I’m bouncing my points off yours) I did some research on a Griffin and it sounds VERY similar to Lafitte’s devil fruit and character. Firstly, there isn’t MUCH information on griffins, as it was said to be a beast who is wise and witty, maintained anonymity and mystery, with incredible strength and a zero tolerance policy for evil. (Keep this in mind and Let me cook) However, it is said that the creature is a MYTHICAL hybrid between having an eagle head w glossy feathers and a curved beak,(king of birds) with tufts of feathers spring from the head (representing the lions ears) w wings on its back and a lions body. (king of beasts), which makes it the KING of the creatures. (Potential Mythical Zoan w imbued outstanding haki or a will??) Griffins were said to fight to the death to keep evil out of its territory, and in some cases that territory was Gold (metaphor for any valuable in OP), Royal Families (BB’s mysterious lineage), and their Sacred Sites (Rocky Port, BB being able to get his hands on an Ancient Weapon etc) Now to bounce off your points again. My guess is that when Lafitte somehow got his Devil Fruit, it tricked him into becoming evil or one who works for Blackbeard, and his personal reasoning behind this could be that “Toroa Incident” which made him change his views on whatever life he was living and views Blackbeard’s dream as a better one. It’s not until Luffy comes and shows him the true way you know? And this mighttt be a stretch but finally in Greek mythology is said that Griffins pulls the chariots of the SUN GOD Apollo, and carried him to heaven and earth. Also (I’m on a tangent now but this is my final point) Griffins were said somehow to restore sight to the blind (ik that somehow ties into the Brook and Lafitte fight) and so maybe Brook NEEDS to kill Lafitte so he can awaken his Devil Fruit, and potentially break FREE of its control to realize his REAL dream. Point is, Griffins sounds kinda like Lafitte when you consider we don’t know too much of shit of the guy, considering that every character is based off an animal, and the overall similarities they share (especially the hypnosis/psychic ability) yeah hopefully Lafitte is the next Obito character, as one comment stated.

[@TechDude351]

My thought is that lafitte doesn't have a bird zoan fruit, it might be a mythical zoan Angel fruit

[@acetofresh1]

Excellent excellent theory. A friend of mine came up with very similar points independently. What if Lafitte’s backstory was this. As an I’ll young man, or after being brutally defeated and kicked out of West Blue, he instead of starving to death killed and ate a guy. He then was gifted with the healing powers of this unknown DF. He now knows a way to acquire DFs that no one knows, and he informed BB of this, and this is what they did to hunt DF’s and did to Whitebeard?

[@davidtippy7976]

I'm not actually sure that we're on the right track with the whole "Strawhats vs Blackbeard Pirates" discourse. The most recent chapters make me believe that the status quo will change significantly before we actually fight Blackbeard as a major villain, and by that point he may have lost some crewmembers and gained new ones.

[@davidtippy7976]

Or maybe Blackbeard can steal people's powers by awakening his fruit, and we'll have the whole crew fight just Blackbeard with every devil fruit.

The Blackbeard Pirate matchups are interesting to predict because I don't think we'll get what we're used to outside of Luffy vs Blackbeard. That's a fight that HAS to happen. Beyond that, it could go either way. Here's what I am thinking: Zoro vs Shiryu Nami AND Robin vs Catarina Usopp vs Van Augur Sanji vs Pizzaro Chopper vs Doc Q and Stronger Franky vs Vasco Shot (I originally had him up against Burgess but I truly believe Burgess would stomp Franky) Brook vs Laffitte Jinbe vs Burgess (That Armament Haki fight would be insane!) All that's left is Sanjuan Wolf and Kuzan. Sanjuan never struck me as a serious fighter despite his "atrocious" crimes. I would love to see the Straw Hats fight together to take him down like they did with Oars. As for Kuzan, I think he will depart from the crew right before the one-on-ones. Maybe team up with Luffy to fight Blackbeard?

9:10 If it were the "Land of Dancers", now THAT might be a convincing argument. Also, the fact that you also reached the conclusion that Laffite's fruit is the Stryx-Stryx Fruit (or the Bird-Bird Fruit: Model Stryx) just solidifies Hidden Island's theory to me.

[@ilikevintagetoys2100]

I just had a thought brooks awakening would be summoning the souls of the dead to enhance his power it would be the rumbar pirates

[@atlas2282]

Damn man, did you eat the Gum-Gum fruit? Because you're STRETCHING

[@lifeisaJourney-hg4qv]

IMU Devil fruit may be upgrade version of sugar fruit because of sugar fruit can make every one to forget who she turns into toy soldiers . And whole void century has been erased from history

[@Vik_OwO]

I like to think that Lafitte has the angel fruit this would explain a lot and would be a good parallel to Brook

[@RagingPeanutButter]

I really like the sound of going into Brook's past for the second round, like Luffy and Sanji

[@DuhVIPking]

18:38 i know you say its an owl But a dove would be so much funnier 😅

[@MrMordo85]

My theory: when Brook awakens his soul music will "raise the dead" or call back the souls of the people Lafitte killed and regreted killing effectively making a Gashadokuro which is a yokai again based on death which would actually have good symbolism if your theory is correct, Lafitte is the one who sends souls off where as Brook is the soul who brings them back

[@illegalsheep1804]

I'm so happy Brook is your favorite charcter. I've waited so long for someone else to be a Breok suporter.

[@Bhud63]

This was a banger video!

[@clay_freespirit]

This video was reccomended to me two months ago...

[@jozajab6849]

Brook HAS used hypnotic attacks in the past! Remember his “Party Music” attack in Fishman Island?

[@mikev4154]

Great video, dude

[@eddywhitcraft2165]

Istg bros timing on uploads are fantastic

[@y.dylanhusband8664]

Dude I was gunna say a vampire of some kind before I even heard of the strix so good great theory

[@AzraelMight]

Nah Brooks awaking got too be the ability to call the dead to the living allowing him to see his entire crew again

[@willstoudemire-pulliam9084]

I love these videos ❤😂, but you and I both know oda could swerve and trick us all. What if Blackbeard crew and the Strawhats are forced to team up, because Imu is the real deal big bad!

[@Sung0d504]

Fun to see one of my favorite bars from where I’m from in a one piece video😎 it’s also one of the oldest bars in USA

[@nevilo1]

"I fear you are underestimating the sneakiness, Sir"

[@MegaFlatulence]

I've seen a theory that he may have an angel zoan. This would work really well with his epithet "The Demon Sheriff" by making him a fallen angel.

[@ilpoggetostudios]

I want to see brook's full backstory man... I need that

[@allenyork3239]

I think there is one other option to laffette's Devil Fruit and thats a Angelic fruit a biblical angel fruit would explain the white angel like wings and it could give him a long near immortal life.

Eggs came first because fish came before chickens and fish lay eggs.

[@sreekargunda3915]

The spreading sickness bird is the opposite of Marco’s phoenix which heals people. Adding to the anti parallels between Blackbeard and Whitebeard

[@Drone_D125]

This just gives me the idea of a wolverine/sabertooth relationship for these two and I love it
