I think Blackbeard is Rocks' son and that Rocks is from a special bloodline that knows about and is able to take in many devil fruits. I mean he had many powerful pirates like Whitebeard, Shiki, Big Mom, Kaidou, etc in his crew. And I think what made him the powerhouse to have these people under his jolly roger and have Roger and Garp team up and struggle against him is not only strong haki but also the control over various devil fruit powers.

I’ve talked about the Orochi/BB comparison theory a few times so some other things I thought of were one, the way Blackbeard crying/amgry looking up at the moon parallels Orochi crying and angry at the Kozuki and other daimyo families all having moon in their name, Kozuki SPECIFICALLY being the crescent moon, like young Blackbeard. Orochi was given the plan to overtake the emperor by Higurashi, Blackbeard was given the plan to overtake an emperor by I believe Shiki, because Higurashi specifically turns into him with Orochi.

[@kokotas18]

Him having three souls most likely has to do with his special lineage, probably something new Oda will introduce. The reason he can wield multiple devil fruits must be connected to his yami yami no mi since he was adamant about it being the fruit he needed to acquire his dream. It possibly has the power to draw/trap the devil's power/soul from a user who has just passed and force it to occupy the most nearby fruit which he then eats to gain a new devil power.

[@leaf2428]

New theory, hear me out. Zoans ALL used to be physical beings, not devil fruit weilders, but creatures bordering in deities, probably immortal, and once upon a time believed to be invincible, when vegapubk says that devil fruit were dreamed into existence, what he means is that someone realised that these beings, were not actually unkillable, they could be beaten, and their power would be trapped in a fruit and bestowed upon the one who ate of it. Housing two deities inside your body isn't ordinarily possible because the two deities would literally fight inside the person. The gorosensei are simply the last remaining creature deities alive, thus no fruit.

[@Axlplayz]

My theory: rocks is FROM no sleep island, and so, this tribe told legends about this big bad pirate they looked up to. Maybe instead of rocks finding teach, teach already knew about rocks! To add to this, I believe what makes buccaneers special is that they can harness the energy of two devil fruits, which is how vegapunk cloned the fruits in the seraphim! So to sum it all up, teach is a no sleep race/ buccaneer hybrid who inherited the will of xebec through stories among his peoples, then went on a quest to continue what he believed rock’s goal was, to conquer the world (as in, the legends aren’t 100% true and it’s a misinterpretation of rock’s will which is a good parallel to luffy unintentionally fulfilling joyboy’s will, one knowing what to do but misinformed, the other not knowing what to do but knowing how to do it) His third df I believe might be , simply, the myths behind the Ursa Major . You can only see constellations at night, when you sleep so it makes sense the true power of this fruit only awakens once the user is asleep!

I personally love the idea of a Hito hito no mi model xebec. I mean just imagine rocks creating a devil fruit with his soul inside him. And then somebody awakens it, but cant controll it. Rocks would be kinda immortal. Maybe black beard has this zoan fruit. And maybe its the same with imu. Maybe imu, nika and xebec are all devils with their own goals in the real life and they use the devil fruits to access the real world (like the devils in black clover with the grimoires). But that is just dreaming from my side and i cant prove it. Btw nice video❤

[@itzkarma6150]

I like that idea like them being devils and using the fruits access the real world (long ass novel theory coming up lol) makes me wonder if that the ancient kingdom was somehow able to summon them (much like how the gorosie appear) or even trap them and then permanently have them converted/transformed into the devil fruits we know today, then one day imu was summoned a powerful devil strong enough to rival even that of the Sun God Nika and instead of being turned into a fruit was able to escape into the world and in time corrupted the leaders of the 20 kingdoms and made an assault against the ancient kingdom to destroy it and take its power to summon devils for himself...after a long battle and seeing the evil of the devil they had brought upon the world in their final moment the inhabitants of the ancient kingdom transformed Nika into a devil fruit in hopes that his powers of jot and liberation would one day be able to defeat the devil that is imu. After attaining the technology of the ancient kingdom, Imu then summoned 5 more devils to assist him in his control over the world and for 700 years it worked but as the world grew and an era of piracy began control became unstable and imu had made a decision to summon another devil, though it did not go as planned this devil was one with power enough to withstand the influence of Imu and had ambitions of his own to take over this new world he had been brought to..this devil was the devil of darkness itself Xebec. After travelling the world and learning of the battle for the ancient kingdom and the technology it possessed xebec discovered the summonings and the truth of the devil fruits creations and that even after the mighty battle Imu continued to enslave his kind to the fruits of the ancient kingdom so he could tempt and manipulate his pawns in which he calls the world government, enraged by the treachery of his kind xebec launches an attack against imu and makes an oath to forever appose him, the nobles and the world government. Woops legit novel😂 anyway God Valley had the tech for the summons and fruit creations and before xebec died he attempted to summom another devil to continu his legacy but in believing he failed he then turned himself into a zoan type devil fruit destroying the device in the process (probs garp & rogers fault really) but he didnt fail it just did not work correctly now we have blackbeard a young devil brought to this world that never sleeps with a peculiar body not bound by the normalities of the world allowing him to weild multiple powers of his fallen brethren and carry the will of xebec. Also a reason why the government funded Vega punks research on artificial fruits. My bad for legit story thanks to anyone that actually read this😅😂

[@joegarbage5908]

One really interesting parallel is Hody Jones and the second option for Blackbeard's backstory, him choosing to essentially fight to his own death because he constantly heard about Arlong as a folk hero. On the other hand though, it doesn't really fit what I would imagine Blackbeard would have as a dream. That alone doesn't really seem like a dream to me, and Blackbeard seems a bit too worldly to have a dream like "become someone important" (Usopp lol). Maybe that would be a good subversion though.

[@mathieuleader8601]

Given what you said about Xebec knowing the summoning circles I believe that Oda has recycled the original idea he had for Moriah and made Xebec a pastor with a split personality.

Black beard turned shanks into a werewolf and that’s why bb never sleeps, and shanks has a rival in Dracule Mihawk, aka Dracula, a vampire

[@Naruto1341]

I’ve been of the idea that Teach has a Mythical Zoan that has the soul of someone from the void century who understands things like how DFs work scientifically and the true nature of the world. Probably aware of the Dawn prophecy. But after your video, I suspect that other personality might take control if Teach is asleep, and he used that against Shanks. Shanks being able to see the future might depend on something like having the greatest understanding of something he can, and that allows Haki to generate an image of the future. If this Soul wasn’t something Shank could expect, it would probably be enough to catch Shanks and scar him.

[@Naruto1341]

In addition to this thought, if the devil fruit is an explicit, conscious soul, they would be immortal by way of DF reincarnation. Making it possible that Rocks also has this DF and when he died, Teach could then find it. If Rocks is portrayed by his old crew to be unreliable, it could be that he was a goofball who got this fruit and the Soul convinced him to take a bunch of actions to further his Prophecy ruining agenda I mentioned before.

Blackbeard was mentioned searching a "legendary medicine" for him in Chopper's island, and there it was, hear me out: it was Choppers HitoHito no mi (human-human devil fruit) that chopper eated And here's teh thing: every Zoan "Human" fruit we have seen has been legendary/mythical: Luffy's is nikka model, there was the budha and i think there was a Onyudo which was a demigod/yokai that transform the user into a yokai fox ninja spirit thing But what about Chopper's fruit? He turn out "smart" and can change forms at will but he "learned" how to make rumble balls to access more forms but later on the timeskip, he already have more forms WITHOUT the rumble balls and now controls the monster point One theory says his fruit is actually legendary, but... what if is not but at the same time it would mean the "cure" for Blackbeard for his sleeping... here's second part: Chopper's fruit model is still a mystery, but how about the human-human fruit is the "all humans" model In One-piece world, "humans" is the term for all humanoids, all races, as you mentioned, even the gorosai are trying to annihilate some races, but even giants and other non-aquatic races are considered "humans" Chopper's fruit didnt allow him o change into human and reindeer and in between, no, he can change into human form and he knows the highest point of its potential inmediatly (he even named the forms X-point), he isnt just "a human", he can transform into "ALL HUMANS", every race of humans in that world After timeskip, the kung fu point kinda look similar to the inhabitants of the island on which he stayed those 2 years, monster point kinda looks like a giant, some other forms look similar to other races we have seen, but combined with his reindeer form since he is a reindeer Even his basic "human" form before timeskip doesnt look "human", but let get this clear, the Yetis that live on that island were closer to him than actual "humans" and remember: the fruit let him change into ALL kinds of humans, and for him living in the mountains, the image of yetis were clearer when he thought about "becoming a human", so he doesnt turn "human-human", he become a "Yeti-human". and his jumping point looks like a long leg tribe, and so on, later we will see becoming more forms, maybe, revealing that each form has a higher point that he automatically knows how to use, instant knowledge of the best of each "tribe" But how affects this to blackbeard? well, if he can get this ZOAN fruit, he could change "race"/tribe and become any type of human he wanted, now having 3 types of the fruits, and would be able to sleep again, maybe that makes him more powerful, maybe not, we dont know yet, but imagine too, he can become a giant, and use the eathquake, or become a lunarian and use the darkness while flying around, he would be unstoppable with chopper's fruit And tis take to another point: most people think the monster point is Chopper's awakened form, but imagine if it isnt, if is just a Giant human form, then... what is the awakened form? maybe a super human? maybe a foirm that can change other people tribe/race? idk but all i know is that chopper basically has the damn omnitrix inside and can become the best of all human tribes

[@ceari0182]

I think Black Beard’s power is not as complicated as this video makes it seem. I think he’s right about one thing, he’s now in possession of all three types of devil fruits. I believe Black Beard’s true Devil Fruit is the INU INU NO MI (Model Cerberus) the hell hound a special Zoan. My theory is that this fruit splits his personality allowing him to switch personalities so he can rest without sleeping, making it seem like he doesn’t sleep and when the fruit is awaken it allows him to, not only steal the fruits, but, also give this fruits to his other two personalities, I think it can do this since being the hell hound has some power over the devil souls in the fruits, directing them to go where he wants them to go after the user has already passed away, making the YAMI YAMI NO MI a misdirection from oda; the INU INU NO MI would also give him the claws needed to rip shanks’ face apart. This hypothesis also explains the changes in personality Black Beard seem to display throughout the series. And the why he looks sad is because he probably has a sad story like everyone else, most likely he started as a nice guy who got beat up by life and so to his alleged connection to the Rock pirates he chose to go the way of “evil” Either that or he suffers from multiple personality disorder, and the YAMI YAMI NO MI is, actually, what he’s using to rip fruit powers away, but that does not explain the claws, and it doesn’t feel right! I think the hypothesis that he doesn’t sleep because he’s the last of his tribe from a cold place has more holes than Swiss cheese.

Hey Dak, its Liam! Rule of 3 taken 5 times, argue and rumble, a war for our minds. Luffy and Black Beard have different tastes, but both are living their dreams.

He cannot escape it or himself, the only chance he will have to rest will be when his work is done or he dies. Also, if the Gosei had summoning circles, it might mean they were summoned from somewhere else. ... if lineage is a factor, and it appears to be, maybe he is descended from the demons. Maybe his connection to the cold is a connection to the afterlife, kind of like a devil child... and yeah. Just some random thoughts and observations.

Oda could feel inclined to downplay the fact that shanks lost to BB. This makes it so he both won and lost.

[@Gamerlord17]

The way i see it is like this. Blackbeard doesn't sleep not because he can't but because if he does, another personality takes over while his main personality is essentially trapped in a nightmare. Not a dream. A nightmare. The exact polar opposite of a dream. Trapped within your own body, able to see the outside world but unable to interact with it how you desire and forced to watch someone or something else puppeting your body and any pain they feel, you feel. So ultimately i think blackbeards true goal is to create a world where he can sleep or rather to make his nightmares reality so that way if he can't sleep? No one can and therefore no one would be able to truly dream. However you know what they say about men who dream during the day, they are dangerous and teach is the prime example of this. He's a man who never stops dreaming because all he can ever do is look to the sky, the sun and moon and hope to see a new day, unable to truly dream like normal people. And that is what will truly make him luffys ultimate pirate challenge.

At this point its fairly obviousl imo that Oda is doing the "3 faces of blackbeard" idea. Especially after introducing Cavindish as a character and the 3 headed blackbeard jolly roger. I also like the mythical zoan "kracken" fruit idea. Because it works from a piracy lore standpoint, a davy jones connection standpoint, and potentially eliminates the one weakness of devil fruits standpoint.

[@thepbg8453]

I have a crack theory, Black Beard ate a artificial devil fruit the Hito Hito no Mi: Model Rocks D. Xebec.

We definitely know a winter island where some poeple don't sleep. Egghead, York sleeps not the rest of the satellites.

[@haywoodlunsford4238]

Thats not some that's just one. And she sleeps so that the others don't have to.

[@healthiesthealthyhealth]

Nice video. I used to think Oda's foreshadowing ability was very exaggerated. He has good foreshadowing but some of the things ppl have claimed seemed so coincidental. But this video made me believe that his foreshadowings are no mistake... he's cooking something

[@ehudezra4610]

I think that if Teach have a Zoan or Demonic traits it should change his body&be a key for the Yami Yami Numi which is why he specifically looked for this fruit Maybe it's hidden powers that enable him to storge energy by not sleeping and awakening this energy by sleeping while also giving him demonic animal traits...demonic bear demonic Hippo demonic Kraken, but not the actual appearance change/transformation a Zoan gives

[@mrbritish6673]

I may be semi fuzzy on the details but did Oda draw twin sisters for Blackbeard? I don’t believe it while I say it, but you saying what if Blackbeard needed something by other than a crescent moon? Maybe he can only sleep on a full moon, maybe whatever happened during his sleep caused the loss of his sisters (if Oda decides to make them exist). Hence sad and alone 🤔 I’m personally still routing for his twin dying in the womb, he’s absorbed the nutrients and them both being in one in a technical sense. Two skulls are the two and the third is the body. If he can get three powers then holy shit 😂 At the very very worst I wouldn’t mind another genetically altered government baby 🤷‍♂️ Edit: The Kraken thing is alright, because ocotpis also have three hearts 🤷‍♂️

[@ronitsehrawat6428]

According to me straw hats don't need a fourth road ponegliff By 4 ponegliffs a quadrilateral shape is formed and the point of intersection of diagonals is the point where last island is. Which also means that the island lies on one of the diagonal. As straw hats have three of them they can easily find one diagonal and travel across it. And, then they will just need to travel in a straight line. Hence they do not need a fourth road ponegliff. (If there is a mistake please let me know😅)

[@moldy47]

we don’t know that the 4 ponegliffs form a quadrilateral shape that’s just shown when explaining that you need all 4 to find the location of laugh tale, they could be placed in any formation that has the lines intersecting making it near impossible to find laugh tale without all 4 ponegliffs

[@jimbeam-ru1my]

you're right, they don't need it to get the location, but to become pirate king, luffy has to go to the locations of the poneglyphs and receive the info written on them. Every time he arrives at the location of a poneglyph, something of critical importance to becoming pirate king occurs. Luffy's entire journey has been guided by the sun god nika and to abandon that guidance and use a method he devised would prevent him from ever reaching his destination. One Piece is based on Greek mythology and in Greek mythology the gods are in control and men that trust in their own power are destroyed..

[@jamesvaldez5071]

Hakuba wouldn't be repetitive, it's foreshadowing. Nothing about hakuba has been explained yet.

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

First I got locked into Hunter Hunter lore once I caught up, now here I am doing the same thing with One Piece after finishing Wano 😅

[@ZoroDChamp]

Wish I could double like.. awesome 👏 analysis

[@jamesvaldez5071]

You forgot the 3 hearts of the kraken

[@tzzxzz5379]

If blackbeard doesn’t sleep it would make sense how he could have impacted him because he could have been smarter than a normal baby

[@one1over0zero]

If you’ve ever pulled multiple all nighters, you’ll have seen the Shadow Bears. Shadow bears are a classic sleep deprivation hallucination. Oda is a man who knows his sleep deprivation

[@YoungUsopp]

Another amazing video! Never disappoint with these banger videos! Could his ability to not sleep be the reason as to why he is capable of utilizing multiple devil fruits

[@DaksSake]

I think so - Maybe when he sleeps, he becomes his "true" form, like a hippo, and hippos have 3 chambers to the stomach so that might be the key. Or maybe its that Teach is part buccaneer and his blood lets hmi do it. The answer has to be in here somewhere

[@payasdandekar2950]

​@@DaksSake If you observe the different manga panels that show Blackbeard laughing or smiling you can see that sometimes Blackbeard is shown with all teeth intact while in some panels he is shown with three teeth missing but from different locations. So are those three different faces of blackbeard that oda showed us in the manga?

[@kangev8662]

Maybe Rocks hid his logbook somewhere in a snowy country. Teach would have some condition not everyone has that has to do with sleeping, maybe lashing out like cavendish, which made him an outcast. He finds Rocks Logbook which tells him about a lot of the history of the world and makes him want to pursue that kind of knowledge. He learns about his condition, maybe some hunt by the celestial dragons genocided them, and he feels more like an outcast but now has a dream to pursue...

[@BruceHill-t7e]

Black beard could be sleeeping this whole time

[@keeplearningwithGoodguy]

The real Blackbeard is sleeping 😨

[@FerrariusChristi]

Did someone else noticed that every snow island has something massive trapped inside? Since drum island, where you see the three maybe giant drums, vegapunk island and ryukio island as well... Also snowing almost always happens in really important and emotional scenes

[@shamarsherwood6466]

Im kinda late to the party but i do think hes accurate with the ppl from snow countries cant sleep but a thing ive been saying for months is blackbeard being a kind of zoan has to be true bc if u look at shanks scar u can say its a scar from a hand and not a blade,this scar would need 3 fingers and animals have 3 fingers birds,lizards and u can throw in a dragon so i really then hes either a zoan that as more than one souls or sum

[@TheClassic31]

If it’s a zoan type, it’ll be a 3 head cerberus

[@jordandavis2911]

To support this theory, in the new episode where law was beaten by blackbeard, teach's eyes were glowing white.

[@alexporras1868]

Dude that Lawrence quote gave me goosebumps.. awesome theme and layout!

[@jellyfishjones4741]

My pet theory was always that Blackbeard has chimerism. Especially since now we know devil fruits become tied to the lineage factor (DNA), then if Blackbeard effectively has two lineage factors, it explains why he would be able to get two devil fruits.

[@Kerahime]

I heard this theory more than a decade ago, blackbeard has had that mythical zoan model cerberus. 3 heads is why he can have 3 devil fruits and explains why he has different sets of missing teeth and doesn't sleep, each head of the cerberus takes turns sleeping and controlling the main body

[@shadowdouglas450]

Cerberus or Baku the dream eater.

[@Madia367]

Really enjoy your theories dude

[@hogn1]

With One Piece taking a turn into toon town recently, Blackbeard’s flag now makes me think of the little devil and angel that appear next to their heads when Tom or Jerry need to make a choice. Maybe it’s like Cavendish but there’s a good and an evil, and Blackbeard is stuck in the middle.

[@sirevelez]

Hippos can swim, they just usually don't. They usually walk along the floor.

[@calebsulzberger8761]

So daveys locker. Partly what blackbeard is from. Its supposed to hold all the treasure and souls of the sunken ships at the bottom of the ocean. Prolly something to do with blackbeard multiple devil fruits

[@Kommunist_Kittens]

Not finished yet but what if he's crying in that child portrait because he slipped up, he fell asleep and the other side took over and killed everyone he loved, kinda like a Big mom situation, except, over time Teach converts and starts to agree with the sleep personality, they become one and that is his trump card, when Teach gets in trouble he lets the otherside gain full control, he stops thinking and just goes into a fury, that'd give a huge backstory to his fight with Shanks, because imagine Shanks and Teach fighting, Teach gets knocked out, instead of Teach running, trying to control the other personality, he sees it as his only way out, they become one, it surprises and hurts Shanks, I'm ranting but??

[@jimbeam-ru1my]

I think blackbeard knows about joyboy. He's shown that he has a lot of knowledge about things that most people don't have. He's a D, so he's a descendent of the joyboy loyalists who chose not to go to mariejois but work to cause the dawn of the world. One of those D's probably betrayed joyboy since joyboy was like luffy, weak to trickery and deceit. Blackbeard is probably their descendent. Blackbeard knows that joyboy will return to defeat the gorosei, so he's been planning for his main opponent in the control of the world to be joyboy, which is why the darkness fruit was so important to him. His darkness powers have gravity like a black hole and a black hole can suck a sun into it. The gorosei don't have devil fruit powers. They are gods, so it isn't as effective against them. I think Shanks will defeat Blackbeard and it'll become clear why there are no devil fruit users on his crew. We'll see that Shanks is the strongest emperor but he never had ambitions to rule the world like the others, he's the only emperor that serves the will of D.

[@trevorstith3044]

Maybe he is a manticore. That explains the heads and flaws, ect, and could be a logical mythical zoan. Just my take lol

[@MGLAIKEN.69]

Hey dak, I have heard your void century cleansing theory and the theory came out to be true, I want to say that your future sight is one of the best in the world

[@TheUnkow]

Actually the three personalities remind me a lot of Toriko. And Blackbeard is based on "I will devour everything". Probably the closest thing to Blackbeard in One Piece is Wapol (devours stuff, has Hippo powers, is enemy of Gorosei and Strawhats, suddenly became allies with Vivi, maybe Buggy will team up with BB, maybe BB will attack Whitebeard's island). Toriko spoilers ahead: -------------------------- Toriko had 3 demons (red, blue and green), his first demon sacrificed to Toriko so would devour him, leaving him with 2 more. Toriko was versed with the second demon and used him "often". The final demon was beyond epic. He one shot the greatest villain in the manga. Toriko ended by traveling to the vastness of space, leaving only our imagination to try handle what could that future could be. One could say Black Holes are the ultimate devourers.

[@mclovin7694]

It would be cool if blackbeard in keeping with his 3 theme and assuming he has a Luffy style zoan that's more logia than paramecia takes the ice logia devil fruit like he did the quake quake devil fruit. Only manifesting the power in his awakened form. Good contrast with the bear versus the monkey ice versus fire, and destruction and underworld theme he has going for him.

[@EverybodyShineTogether]

Blackbeard can’t be from that snow island, he’s too tan 😂

[@MARSHALLDPREACH]

ZEHAHAHA

[@sphinxtan9158]

Luffy's dream is not inherited from Shank. He just came up with it by himself. That's why Shank bet on him and gave him the hat. So in parallel, Teach doesn't need someone to influence him. And I think sleeping doesn't give Teach enhancement. I think he has a buff which will be permanently removed (or even kill him) if he falls asleep.

[@druvan.k3925]

These are my theories but it will become true in future. 1) blackbeard will have a 3 rd devil fruit zoan type. 2) the zoan type can be the secret treasure of world government which doflammingo aiming for( oda sensei joing the points ). Proof: devon touching and using abilities of his devil fruit on saturn to enter into mariajois . 3) blackbeard suffering a disease like multi personality disorder ( for easy understanding like moonknight) 4) blacbeard looks like a fool in a skypiea he' s true form. Same blackbeard looks like intelligent in hachinosu after the 2 year timeskip. 5) moon is the key in the one piece for humans, lunarians, void century,minks,etc. So there will be a strong connection blw blackbeard and moon like full moon days and half moon days. 6) you can understand oda sensei way of writing villains character very easily. Show the villian so dark and emotionless and write his story very sad that every op fans can remember ( ex; senor pink, kuma, etc). 7) blackbeard sleeps but he doesnt know that he is sleeling like example if rocks comes to blackbeard then blackbeard dreams and if blackbeard comes again then rocks go to dreams . Blackbeard also dont know about that. By the way dak your theories always looks epic

[@WellDoneOnTheInternetEverybody]

The snow country not sleeping foreshadow also tracks with Odas vison when one piece was paced to end after 5 years

[@harkenrebirth]

I think Blackbeard will end up having Cerberus zoan devil fruit. Because 3 heads.. 3 personalities.. 3 devil fruits. So he has 3 devil fruits.. Zoan Cerberus, Darkness and Earthquake. And it would also explain why Blackbeard doesnt sleep. He sleeps. But switches between 3 personalities. So the other 2 rest. Whille 1 is active. And since they share the same body and mind.: They know when things happen. Also it would even work with body damage. 1 takes damage. Instead of dying.. Switches to personality 2 and is still alive and undamaged.

[@Someaddress555s]

I think it's cerebus but also mixed in is the 3 fates who share 1 eye in many mythologies. That eye signifies who can see at any given time. In this case which BB can interact with the outside world.

[@sdolui077]

Black beard and Rocks connection, too crazy

[@kingkelz215]

I can get on board with the idea that Teach was influenced or mentored by Rocks, but one thing I'd add as a possible reason for Blackbeard's ability to use/steal multiple Devil Fruit powers is that he may be the son of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, hidden away on a winter island due to his lineage and hereditary abilities passed down from his family.

[@benjijohnsony1846]

my thing is if he was that connected to rocks wouldn’t his relationship with white beard have been better since white beard was on rocks crew at that time? teach joined up with white beard when he was twelve and he wasn’t even like an apprentice relationship like you see with ace joining. or shanks and buggy to roger and raleigh. i would figure if rocks was involved with teach at a young age white beard would have remembered and been there to see the influence rocks had on teach since being in his crew and being at god valley himself. but it just seems as if he is a crew member who was mysterious and kept under the radar till he went rouge after the murder for his DF

[@nipplyfrost4607]

Hmmm. BB craved the darkness fruit. Now all the enemies seem to have a darkness flame around them. Luffy has a white flame around him. Hmmmm. Dak be cooking in this video. Loved it.

[@Gloeko]

What if we find out rocks wasnt actually killed at god valley and he actually somehow survived

[@Bodacious_Crustacious]

Now we all know him best for being the first guy to eat more than one fruit, but can we turn our attention to Caesar Clown for a minute? He essentially ate Smiley after it became a DF User, and Big Mom got her fruit by eating Mother Carmel. It kind of seems like the rule of "eating more than one fruit results in death" is a hoax.

[@miguelzurita3216]

I doubt it, it was CP9 who said you can only eat one fruit, I doubt they would handicap themselves if eating more than one is possible

[@Bodacious_Crustacious]

@@miguelzurita3216 Despite that, Caesar Clown still ate one by proxy. Smiley the slime ate a fruit on accident and turned into a giant lizard, only to then be consumed by Caesar Clown when he was at the end game of his battle against Luffy. He lost the fight but Smiley wasn't expelled from his body, meaning the fruit was also consumed by him. Big Mom ate Mother Carmel to get her fruit powers so we know eating a fruit user can give their powers to the consumer, but a fruit user eating another one somehow didn't kill Caesar.

[@xdragoonzero0]

​@@Bodacious_CrustaciousUnless I'm really misremembering, we see Smileys fruit return, so whatever happened it clearly didn't count as "eating".

[@Bodacious_Crustacious]

@@xdragoonzero0 I would love to see that evidence.
