[@user-gv8cg8sp5m]

My theory is that the darkness darkness fruit isnt the darkness fruit its that mythical zoan fruit creature yall named in the video i might be wrong but last i checked darkness isn't a element his zoan has a logia type of abilit to create darkness. And if im not mistaken black beard himself said it called to him almost like it has a will of its own almost like it was a zoan

[@kingalexander4626]

I'm sorry to say but teach never eat more than one devil fruit, it so happen that the one he got had an extra ability to take the devil fruit power from one person to another.

[@StopJerkingOff]

What if his original personality is actually a good guy and his second personality took over the moment he saw the devil fruit and that’s what lead to him killing his crew mate, he was probably just as surprised when he came back.

Shanks being the final villain is also very likely! But the main reason i think it won't be him is because end story Luffy is going to be way more powerful than Shanks.

[@ProfIdiotKuro]

I agree with the theory, but the laughing part is a MASSIVE stretch IMO. Luffy doesn't laugh like "hito hito" or "gomu gomu" nor does chopper, Enel doesn't laugh like "goro goro" Kaido doesn't laugh like "uo uo" or "seiryu", big mom doesn't laugh like "soru soru" etc etc. Laughter does not equal ones devil fruit just because we have a few cases of people laughing like that.

Great theory, a lot better than the cerberus theory. Though the theory I’m going with is that Blackbeard was from the same winter island that Vegapunk was from and was tested on, also would explain how Blackbeard got his hands on a devil fruit encyclopedia. Also remember back on Drum Island, it was Luffy that said that people from winter islands never sleep or else they’d die. I also just don’t see how certain mythical zoan fruits would allow one to consume more devil fruits. That’d be way too overpowered and Orochi’s devil fruit was completely wasted, though not completely as it gave him 7 extra lives.

[@naofumi8548]

I mean you have to remember that finding a devil fruit in the first place is EXTREMELY rare. Like we’ve seen about over 200 and there are millions of people that live in this world. If you have like say 10 million people that’s a 0.002% chance of having a devil fruit. There are more then 200 with the show still going but still it’s not likely to find 1 let alone 2. It also took Blackbeard 20+ years on Whitebeards crew to find another devil fruit, that wasn’t a zoan because it’s not like Whitebeard had a ton of fruit users. All I can remember are Jozu, Marco, and Ace (one of each fruit) so it’s not like they were just popping up like for Big Moms crew or Doffy. The fruit as described, only really works if you have other fruits, which would explain why even if he had a mythical zoan he had to remain hiding because he wasn’t strong enough to make a move. So I don’t really see it as broken, more like high risk high reward.

[@doublewyde420]

Lol the zoan fruit theory is basically the same as Cerberus fruit lol Cerberus is a mythical zoan model lol .

[@midknightshade330]

My theory is that he used his darkness fruit to put Whitebeard’s fruit into one of his rings. We’ve seen other weapons and objects have devil fruits, so it’s not really a stretch to say that the tremor fruit is inside his ring. Which would also allow for teach to have more devil fruits in more rings.

[@MoeAli-bw1uf]

Honestly that is the best theory ive heard

[@saranwrap132]

This is interesting since we’re all looking at BB himself. I actually forgot about that being possible, I like this theory

I mean, BB has been sporting 3 different sets of teeth. I think the 3 personality theory is correct. The his chatacter changes from coward to willing to risk his life is also self-evident. This could also mean he has 3 hearts, where where each personality resides in its own heart. Not sure if the vid menions this, can't watch it all yet. But, there's also a "333vil"... i think that's how it's spelled, who had this same theory about that mythical zoan creature thingy a while back. Not sure who had it first, though.

[@Ccob0517]

If you’re referencing the manga then that can just be inconsistencies in Oda’s drawing. I mean it wouldn’t be the first time, look at Kaido Vs Luffy in the manga and you’ll see Oda forgot to draw the scar Zoro gave him 90% of the time

[@Someaddress555s]

Oda said in an SBS that Blackbeard would be an archeologist if he wasn't a pirate, so it's likely he has tried to read the ancient language on the poneglyphs.

[@KingMorgh]

Wouldn’t it be more likely that the Darkness fruit was actually the “Byzeh” or whatever. Just like how the gum fruit was actually the nika fruit. I say this because he talked about taking Laws fruit but that would be 4 for him if he had a previous fruit

[@murillomeira9337]

That's an interesting point, and would be a cool counterpart to Nika. The only issue here is that he was considered weird (or at least his body was) since his childhood (vide Buggy), and if the Yami fruit is actually the Bai Ze fruit, what would explain that weirdness?

[@glarcier4398]

it might still fit. If the bai-zei fruit is the body, it still needs 3 faces. the additional DFs could just be the faces. I can see oda explaining it this way.

[@swasthikdevadiga2679]

My theory would be. BB is capable of using multiple DF due to him consuming their Heart (where the devil power resides) and blood ( where DF lineage is obtained like how VP cloned DF) with the help of his Dark Dark DF and his vast knowledge of DF.

[@cliffhanger906]

Would explain why we didnt see any change from Whitebeard. Whitebeard already had a hole in his chest that Blackbeard could take it out.

that dude @333vil or w.e it is actually did a video about this a few months back. going over this exact theory. he may have read the same post you did on reddit and just not gave the author credit but yeah i had seen this theory a few months back in a video

[@drakomanzx]

that can explain alot like sheep = coward, lion = lazy, and tiger = brave and fits perfectly with the personality he has sometimes lazy or casual other times scared of some enemy and other one that he is ready to fight with anyone and not care about if he lost and this mean he had 2 devil fruit and there is space left

[@LuciidDreamz]

If the main characters laugh doesn’t align with this laughing theory, I think it’s fair to say that this more than likely isn’t really a thing. I think it’s a given he’ll have 3 fruits just not this way

To be fair, Luffy has a human human fruit and he does get the "nika" onomatopoeia sometimes

[@franciscosayan4065]

Cows aren’t the only ones though. A cow zoan would be a type of ox-ox fruit. The bison and the giraffe models also have 4 stomachs. And it’s not just them. Sheep, cattle, goats, deer, giraffes and llamas are ruminant animals. Ruminant means that they have a four-chambered stomach.

[@franciscosayan4065]

Also to be more precise, their stomach have 4 chambers. It’s one organ. Like how your heart has 4 chambers, and other animals have 2

[@justinmoody9164]

If Blackbeard was Rock’s son, Whitebeard would’ve definitely had known but he had no idea who he was when he met him

[@rustymetalpipe66]

This makes sense. I remember when Teach made his first appearance and he had a competition with luffy and later met him outside to talk about chasing dreams. Then after all that and seeing Teach again in later episodes and he was almost a completely different character. It was at this moment that I thought to myself that Teach has split personalities (dissociative disorder) and that's why he's been able to claim another devil fruit power. I never thought about his unique laugh though so this was interesting.

Blackbeard’s theory of eating Mythical Zoan model: Cerberus is correct. This maybe the reason why shanks needs to meet Gorosei to tell them what he discovered. Shanks was able to see the transformation of Blackbeard’s and may have use Cerberus claw that ended up having scratches in his eyes.

I think I figured out how Bb has 2 devil fruits. I didn't watch this video to the end. But I have a simple but very strong hint to how he did it . 1) he is 2 guys not 3 . I don't know why everyone is speculating it being 3 when he clearly has only 2. 2) At Odens flashback. Buggy told Shanks that Blackbeard never slept since he was born . And buggy noticed he didn't sleep during the 3 days fight against whitebeard crew. Then shanks told him that means he is living twice as normal people. And he said it would be good to live 2 times per 1 lifespan. This indicates strongly that Bb has some kind of alter ego. 2 different personalities that change between day and night. He can also be the same person but living 2 lifespans at once. Which allowed him to live without wasting half of the lifetime sleeping. Also he could have some kind of a devil blood. Or being possessed. Everything is speculation but the only thing that has some kind of relation to having 2 devil fruits is this scene of shanks and buggy interaction .

What an exciting theory! If “god” fruits exist in one piece then demon or devil devil fruits must exist as well. Titling these super powers as “devil” fruits has been the greatest and first mystery of one piece. Introducing the yonkai with the cg’s is the start to uncovering these mysteries. Blackbeards fighting style has always been weird, he just seems to take damage. With the latest ch we saw saturn purposely take damage and watch the blood disappear. Black beard having a yonkai fruit would give him similar powers. What if the god and devil type fruits exist inside the person, similar to tailed beast in naruto. The god fruits like nikaa chose there weilder then give them free will, similar to western theology. If blackbeard like luffy got this fruit early on. Perhaps the yonkai has laid out the plan for blackbeard and used its knowledge to guide blackbeard. He always seems to uave the upperhand with brilliant strategies but also seems like a dumb ass who wouldn’t design such an intricate plot. Also, say shanks pushed him to reveal his yonkai fruit in the fight, then it makes total sense reporting to the gorosei who also have yonkai fruit. A secret that all pirates except for shanks dont know

Shanks met the elders because he needed to "talk about something very important". What if Shanks vaguely figured out BBs DF after fighting him and getting his scars from him?

Sanji: mutant (Chopper could save him in an effort to cure the incurable but just because he is mutant). Bonney: devil fruit of age, if the decease spreads through “years old standards”, she can dodge it by using her fruit in a certain way that she is meant to live (change her age) to a certain degree, go through it and surpass her death (awakening) Franky: finally full cyborg like Kuma but with actual self awareness. Vegapunk: transforms franky but dies Idk if Luffy was also paralysed or he is just exhausted, might he have been saved by his limitations with gear5? Idk bro, I have to quit drugs.

“Hey, maybe that guy knows how to get to Skypiea! I wonder who he is.” “Well…it’s not just one guy.” “Huh? Not just one guy? What then?” “There’s more than one…” It wasn’t that Blackbeard had a different type of vibe, he was literally a completely different person.

[@Bodacious_Crustacious]

I think it should be pointed out that Blackbeard isn't the only character we see "consume" more than one fruit. If you go back to Punk Hazard and look at Smiley, it ate a devil fruit and was absorbed by Caesar Clown. When a devil fruit user is eaten their fruit power is transferred to the consumer, which begs the question of whether eating another devil fruit actually could kill you or not given how Caesar Clown was alive lone after Punk Hazard. So this can mean one of two things, either the extra fruit equals death rumor is a hoax or fruit users can infact consume more than one fruit by proxy, meaning they consume an extra fruit through unorthodoxed methods.

[@tristan6773]

there’s also the possibility that it’s not a devil fruit and another race entirely. maybe demons. and BB might be related to, or made from, the gorosei

Why did Shanks (one of the strongest) got injured by the weak form of Blackbeard. I mean no devil fruit, no haki, no special abilities? Marco said Blackbeard's body isn't normal. When Luffy and Zoro met him he said "it's they" which means he is more than one person. When Luffy saw him, his mood changed so easily. He was in a bad mood, and then he changed to a better mood, finally as he goes on to say pirates dream will never end, which is something you expect to hear from the blackbeard we know. Like he took on an entirely new persona. Etc etc

another thing in the skypeia episode is when bb says “oh, am i interrupting you” this could prob be a switch in souls and led to luffy and zoro’s conclusion saying they instead of he.

[@mradtat3133]

I seen this theory awhile ago on 333vils and was pretty much sold instantly channel but the Gods valley flashback doubled down with those six boxes and since the races were being hunted maybe there was an extra Buccaneer and Rocks inadvertently saved Teach from death becoming his hero perhaps following him after the incident ending up near the 6 prize chests and that’s where Roger and Garp convened inadvertently with the rocks crew Roger n Co didn’t team with Garp as much as their wanting the treasure themselves and having Garp as the equalizer being the only way to beat the crew that would have otherwise came out on top easily. Garp was likely the one who put shanks in the chest to protect him while they fought and he doesn’t speak about that day because the box was missing in the aftermath and he is an idiot not realizing that the Red Haired pirate he hates for corrupting Luffyvis that very same boy. I wear size 7 1/2 chef hats thank you

[@yasserrosado771]

I was thinking the same 🎯

[@jrkangta]

I believe the scar on Shanks’ face was even before Blackbeard got his devil fruit.

[@Nyrufa]

Kaido's fruit wasn't 'found' at God Valley. It was stolen from Beehive Island and brought to God Valley to serve as a prize for the Celestial Dragons during their hunting game. Big Mom just stole it back from them and gave it to Kaido during their attack.

When buggy gets serious, everyone is going to be in trouble lol

[@atlas_uraeus]

I’m pretty sure it has something to do with his body since the reason his crew said he was able to eat two devil fruits is because “his body is weird”

[@begiraffe8711]

I think the reason Blackbeard doesnt need to sleep is because each one of his personalities take shifts being in control while the others sleep

[@animosityplays]

I have a theory that Saturn might also be two people or something like blackbeard, from what saturn said he “doesn’t remember the last time he was on the surface” why would he say this if we know he was on God Valley why would he not remember being on the surface during the GV incident? also with the way he came out of the ritual circle in the floor I think the two are connected I also think if the gorosei can all do this ritual circle Blackbeard can too in his own way which is why he can have multiple devil fruits and I think could be likely if Blackbeard is on Egghead (i ain’t watch any of the video yet but had this theory for a couple days)

[@desktopuser2912]

Bai ze helped the Yellow Emperor (Sun?) to defeat all the demons with his knowledge of their powers; the yellow emperor, the warrior king helped by the Bai Ze was born of his mother watching a bright light over a star (Sun, again) and she carried him for 24 months - just like Portgas D. Ace. Maybe Blackbeard will have more relation to the Revolutionary Army - Sabo inherited Ace's will, the one with the birthing time of the Yellow Emperor, and he unified China by ultimately beating Chi You with the help of a Dragon.

[@andrewjoseph2749]

@6:52.... He had Pudding captured, cause Pudding's a member of the 3-Eye-Tribe who should be able to read the Poneglyphs, that would be the only reason, and the only reason Big Mom slept with a 3-Eye-Tribesman (with the exception of sleeping with every race and haing a child with them)

[@IanMann]

This is very solid. The octopus theory still up there too since they have 3 hearts. But we’ll see

[@kevincanup6615]

This isn't something that was "finally" figured out. It's been speculation for ages.

[@Nyrufa]

I think people claiming Blackbeard has multiple souls in him are on the wrong track. Marco specifically mentions that Blackbeard has an 'unusual body' during the Marineford arc. Not only that, but we learned in Egghead that devil fruits alter your body on a genetic level; which is how Vegapunk is able to extract and duplicate their powers through some kind of cloning process. Whatever is going on with Blackbeard doesn't seem to be spiritual in nature, but rather physical.

[@Silverryde]

Teaches devil fruit is like a storage system and restrain system as well. He probably eaten his first devil fruit before he met Whitebeard. Then when Zoro said they instead him I was confused and when Teach did his pirate flag it made whole lot of sense.

[@somewizardguy1495]

Basing this off the laugh is weak out the gate because I can give 4 examples of the laugh not matching a devil fruit vs the three you’re using to set up your theory. Big Mom has the Soru Soru no Mi but her laugh is “Mama! Mama!”, Kaido has the Uo Uo no Mi but his laugh is “Worororo!”, Moria has the Kage Kage no Mi but his laugh is “Ki-shishishi”, and Dr Hogback doesn’t even HAVE a fruit but his laugh is a goofy-ass “Fosh fosh fosh!”. For every example of a laugh matching a fruit, they’re are just as many if not more examples of a laugh NOT matching to a fruit.

[@MickaelJi]

Nice theory but the only thing I do not follow is about "Luffy having another mythical fruit" before the gomu gomu because he does not have the same Teach ability to have 3 saouls so he cannot ate more than one devil fruit. The rest is quite interesting and solid actually ! Thanks !

[@thiscommentsdeleted]

bro grasped at so many straws he could start a straw shop or make a straw hat.

[@RobrotoPlays]

When Eminem made the song Antichrist, I don't think he was talking about himself in the song 💀

[@dnvsrzdnvsrz1152]

This theory makes the most sense and aligns with the One Piece theme.

[@oreoblizzard1662]

Only one issue I see here, unless BB can eat more than 3 fruits this is flawed in some way. When BB defeated Law he talked about eating Laws fruit for himself

[@grimmdul9808]

I think the probability is higher that BBs crew will go after the Buddha fruit or a similar one. BBs powers revolve around the the buddhists trinity of underworld (darkness fruit), earth (earthquake fruit) and heaven.

[@ant8914]

That makes sense, maybe he doesn’t need to sleep because another soul just takes over while the others sleep.

[@Regunes]

6:50 even better, he doesn't need to read the poneglyph. Odds are, he already knows them, through his fruit

[@Tortilla.Reform]

@11:27. To build on that theory and the rivalry between Luffy and blackbeard, I saw a great theory about how Dragon is actually Rocks’ son and luffys mom is Garps daughter, which would make Luffy and Blackbeard half brothers, adding to the narrative rivalry

[@kolthagod8360]

Garp has already refered to Dragon as "his son"

[@Tortilla.Reform]

@@kolthagod8360 Son-in-law is still a son, and I know of plenty of In-laws who refer to their child’s partner as their child, as an extension of the family

[@natman2939]

This is sort of a old theory but with just new evidence. The original theory was just he ate some kind of Cerberus fruit giving him 3 souls so he could eat 2 more fruits or 3 if the first doesn’t count

[@blacc_rain8124]

This would be the biggest plot twist of all. What if Blackbeard kills Luffy at the end and becomes the true Pirate King. I wonder how much chaos would happen within the irl world.

[@princedewin]

I like this theory. I thought you were gonna say something crazy, like him being part of the race Kuma is from. Edit: it was clearly stated Kuma was the last survivor. Do we just ignored what the manga says. Also, first time in history someone ate 2 DF. No one else has done this before. Clearly it’s something special about BB and no one else.
