It's hilarious that the World Government and Marines are now walking on eggshells around Luffy being one of the new Four Emperors and take him seriously than an upstart pirate rookie.

[@Jestiii]

Sakazuki saw potential in him, that's why he wanted him dead way more han Ace.

[@VVabsa]

Looking at what the crew achieved in such a short while or not giving a thing about the status quo. It's no suprise yet funny.

[@619Slipk]

I mean... There's the whole awakened Nika thing that upped his stock by 800%

[@earthisadonut7213]

Because Luffy is no longer a rookie. He is a huge threat to world, even though he had tons of help, 3 "rookie" pirate captains managed to take down 2 Emperors on the same day. People recognise Luffy as the Emperor because Morgans told the whole world of his exploits in Whole Cake Island.

Idk if sending one of the 5 elders is “tip toeing” around anything… they don’t even let their own low level subordinates keep their heads if they see them..

[@EternlUltimatum]

When you said Shanks and Buggy combination attack, I had the mental image of Buggy literally giving Shanks a hand to perform a two armed Kamusari and laughed a little too loud at work

[@travisbergen2807]

I imagine buggy punching a guy then Shanks disintegrating them after. Then they high five.

[@radiantburrito]

I'm an advocate for the idea that if Buggy could awaken his Paramecia he'd be able to split anything with his Bara Bara no Mi. With the ability to split an atom at a moments notice, he'd be one of the most hazardous devil fruit users of his era (but would somehow still lose to the Will of P).

[@ToolTalkChannel]

I think it comes down to the imagination of the user on some level.. like “Dolfy” and the various ways he uses string. … my point is, as much as I like Buggy, I don’t believe he’s capable of that level of thought. He’s easily duped by people who have doesn’t trust at the promise of treasure.. He’s fortunate for Crocodile and Mihawk being his “underlings”… I don’t think Vegapunk knows how to split atoms in this world.. I like the awakening idea otherwise tho!

[@Distant_View]

York says that she needs the "fusion reactor" to make more Mother Flame. Fusion is much harder to achieve, so I assume vegapunk can figure out fission... But using those terms at all mean they know what atoms are. I would love for buggy to somehow awaken and become op

Bold of you Tekking to think that Oda won't offscreen the Blackbeard v Shanks fight. Also, I'd love to see a video of you breaking down Luffy's notoriety and how he looks like a mastermind to the rest of the world. Like new people entering the Grand Line from Reverse Mountain see his sigil on Laboon right away, maybe they think he kidnapped Vivi but and tried to take over Alabasta w/ Crocodile but the two of them had a falling out. He raided both Enies Lobby and Impel Down and succeeded, maybe they think he's an operative for Dragon.

[@lovablemonty]

[@AnonEcho98]

[@victorystarsaber8280]

I'm only going to answer the buggy question. I think he could be really powerful. He had the ambition, but it was crushed my someone he cared about. If he could truly move on from that he would not only unlock haki, but more importantly ;the WILL to move without fear. That is true power in one piece. You don't need haki (but it cone with the territory). You don't need a devil fruit. You just need to be willing to advance. As for his devil fruit. If he hasn't already awakened it. I think it could be used to "chop" and float other objects. He might be able to pull off a Jenga Cannon all on his own. He might even be able to extend it to other people.

[@UltaBlueRev]

Wanted to compliment Dr Professor Tekking on these Yonko videos. He does a great job of organizing a lot of information while keeping it focused and engaging, yet maintains his classic “Tekking” appeal of excitement and wonder. Keep it up

[@thememeguy2195]

I always thought that Blackbeard was able to absorb the Quake fruit by essentially becoming darkness itself and absorbing the devil fruit soul into himself. And he can only do this in pitch black because light is his weakness.

[@agreatmannamedlieu]

I just think he ate whitebeard out... Literally.

[@ElectBeef]

He ate whitebeards meat 😢

[@orbboom6119]

Yeah that makes sense This probably ties with the true origin of the fruits that we still dont know

[@EE-jp5ev]

I'm high af and might be off the mark entirely here, but if we think Blackbeard maybe has the outer space God logia fruit or something like how Luffy's fruit was mislabeled, could Blackbeard maybe absorb multiple devil fruits because he becomes like space which has things like explosions from collapsed stars? Idk I feel like I have pieces here and can't put them together

[@cammokyle]

Yeah I'm thinking the same. Something like "He made the entire space under the cover "darkness" so the reincarnated devil fruit had no where else to go and he took it/absorbed it" kinda thing. Still doesn't explain why he didn't explode tho, but that's got to be something else to do with his body or that's a lie lol

[@bcool9272]

I believe that Blackbeard says it in a way meaning that people will never stop dreaming. When someone attains its dream, there are a lot of people still dreaming, still being romantic.

[@YaburuRunyaru]

It didn't even occur to me that Blackbeard got his devil fruit right around the time Luffy set sail. I HIGHLY theorize that the Darkness Fruit lied in wait until it sensed that the Nika fruit would begin its journey. I believe it wasn't until THAT moment that the Darkness fruit had let itself be found to get to Blackbeard.

[@EE-jp5ev]

Dude holy shit you're so right I love this it's like the fucking ring from LOTR

[@Leonkennedy19992]

Rocks mightve had a reincarnation reincarnation fruit. Kind of like brooks fruit but instead of bringing your soul back to your body it takes it to the next user of the fruit

[@Leonkennedy19992]

Probably explaining blackbeards split personality

[@basillah7650]

More like blackbeard is a failed clone of rocks has a small rocks on part of his body which is why he can eat 2 fruits.

[@markbogdan2]

Doubt it. Everybody was surprised (Garp and Sengoku included) about the power BB showed at Marine Ford. So it was news to them. Or you insinuate that somebody else is his reincarnation?

​@@basillah7650oh shit I never thought about this, that's interesting

[@crudelymadeentertainment6536]

I still don’t believe killing white beard and taking his fruit wasn’t his original plan BB, I think he had a base plan but he’s good at changing it on the hand he receives. I think he originally wanted Dragons fruit that’s why he goes after luffy cause why would White-beard go to war for Luffy and BB didn’t know he was Ace’s brother. And when Burgess finds baltigo BB doesn’t just rescue burgess he goes full assault

[@pivotfever]

Damn I thought he was gonna pull a Mingo and get aces fruit upon his execution

[@louiebeni5189]

I don’t think so it wasn’t common knowledge that luffy was dragons son until marine ford

[@MrGhostTheBigRoast]

Luffys parentage was disclosed publicly at marineford. BB was crewmates with Ace who def showed luffy's bounty poster to WB, dont you think it's entirely in character for ace to show off his little brothers first bounty poster to all his crew. I wouldnt be surprised if BB knew who he was but forgot when he met luffy in person.

[@Arkalidor]

@@MrGhostTheBigRoast Okay, but did Ace even know that Luffy is Dragon's son? Luffy sure had no clue until I think the end of Alabasta, and I doubt Garp would have told Ace about it. As far as Ace knew, Luffy was an abandoned orphan just like him, and his brother, and that's the end of it.

I believe that Blackbeard does indeed want to be Ruler of the World, and for that he wants to first be King of the Pirates, which is why he is searching for the One Piece and trying to create a sovereign nation made of pirates in Hachinosu (do remember that was his plan to use Coby as hostage)

[@afeathereddinosaur]

[@cheerama132]

The point that you made starting at 20:40 is really deep. Now that I heard this, it makes so much sense! In my life, I have learned that things and experiences are precious BECAUSE they have an ending. And the idea that Luffy understands this about his dream is kind of beautiful. Also, if there are people still thinking Luffy is not Yonko material, Tekking, I think there is an argument to made that they will continue saying that even after he becomes the king of pirates😄

[@aidanmcinnes6355]

High key loving the big character and devil fruit discussion videos being back they really give the feel of some of your older videos

[@iStoicVA]

21:00 this specific moment has me by the balls because of how luffy and especially zoro reacted in the anime towards him. Zoro specifically said "i'm pretty sure its a they" which could mean a plethora of things like zoro picking up enemy energy ie BB's crew, or the multiple personality or multiple identities just the way BB dignified himself in that scene. it opens up so many doors to what Teach COULD be with that line alone.

[@PrestonVance-k9v]

[@namanagarwal5416]

Read an interesting fact today... Henry Avery's pirate career lasted just 2 years and he became known as king of the pirates. So Luffy reaching yonko status in 2+ years really shouldn't come as a surprise

[@marcocarmona4463]

You need to have a 24hr/7 stream of your solid episodes and I'd love to watch it every now and then

[@chillerup5709]

THEORY; Blackbeard will get no more devil fruits because he has "three souls/personalities" whatsoever and he already has a "soul" linked to the best paramecia, another linked to the best logia (or zoan we'll see) and the third is unlinked because when he "uses" the third unlinked "soul" he is not cursed by the sea. Far reach but this might be a master plan (possibly passed partly by Xebek who knew something about Imu or his/hers power) to either not be bound by the sea, or to specifically counter Imu whose name in reverse is umi (sea).

[@mr.megikayu]

Thanks

[@ragnarmeh8156]

I think Blackbeard's thing is more like instead of remaking the law system he wants to just delete it and make an absolute lawless world where everyone can just go after their dreams without laws setting them back

[@victorlambheart2901]

It's very possible Thatch had already eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit and Teach used the same method to steal it. Maybe had the right regular fruit on him at all times just in case.

On the subject of blackbeards, "peoples dreams will never end". Dreams in one piece often are synonymous its want. So you could interpret that statement as people's wants will never end. People will never be satisfied. Luffy disagrees with this as he does not have endless want. He will be satisfied when his "dream" is achieved On the subject of luffy being an emperor. Running through the checklist Territory: Wano, Fishman Island, dressrosa , alabasta Crew: including the grand fleet 5600+ members with 7 divisions. Power: is capable oth throwing down with admirals and emperors alike. Ponegliphs: luffy is the currant front runner for the one piece possessing more road ponegliphs and one of the world's only ponegliph reader. Luffy is more than deserving of the emperor title

The thing about Blackbeard stood out to me, and why the the multiple personality or multiple souls theory is much more possible, is during Blackbeard's initial appearance in the story in mock town. When was having his speech about the era of dreams, after that scene when Luffy, Zoro, and Nami was leaving, Nami referred to Blackbeard as "him", and both Luffy and Zoro corrected her, and referred to Blackberd as "them", implying there are multiple people.

[@elizabethkelley2559]

That always gets to me everytime I read it. Neither Luffy or Zoro had observation haki yet. They just knew, from spending a few minutes in his presence, that something was off. And in an indirect way, told us what was off.

I feel like Kaido's "dream" might be a bit misunderstood. The biggest takeaway i got from his back story was that maybe at one point he wanted to be, or thought he could be Joyboy, but after some time he realized he wasn't. I got the impression that he wanted to be the gatekeep for Joyboy's strength; to make sure that Joyboy wasn't a weakling and had the willpower to "excerpt his dominance." He chose be a ruthless Dictator in Wano to attract Joyboy's proclivity to liberate those that were in desperate need of it, and in turn make sure Joyboy was at least strong enough to defeat "The World's Strongest Creature." Kaido said himself said that he would know if he ever met Joyboy because Joyboy would the only one strong to actually take him down.

I feel like Blackbeard is kind of both. He definitely has a plan considering his plan to lay low and steal the dark dark fruit and also his right hand being Laffite, which we have seen to be a really weird and smart character. But he's into the utter chaos idea if we take into consideration how simple minded his other crew is (I call them simple minded cause of what we have seen them do and also because of their devil fruits being really easy to understand and use). I feel like whatever he chooses to do, the most interesting part is how he sees his own dream and where he finds his enjoyment.

I think buggy if given enough willpower and creativity could be really strong, I mean shikis devil fruit isn't crazy and look at how strong he is, devil fruits have a lot to do with creativity and how you use it. Like Doflamingos fruit, I could easily see it being used by some handmaid to fix ripped clothes and stuff, but he uses it extremely different than what you'd think string as being used for

[@alucard347]

Funny thing, my mom is a potter who works with clay, and ever since I was a kid, I always saw her taking a string like a garrote wire and cutting the bottom part of her clay because it stuck to the table she was working on. So when I first saw doflamingo cut oars junior's leg off, I immediately realized he has a string fruit (that and how he manipulated people in jaya) because of how he cut it.

Something about Shanks i wanna point out, while yes he probably saw people die from a very young age, Roger explicitly did not harm or steal from innocents, his piracy and murder was limited to other pirates and marines. Which imo plays a massive role in shanks character. For anyone curious where this is said its in the Oden flashback, Gabon gets mad at Oden for stealing food when he thought he was stealing from civilians
