Can you please explain where the 3 personalities fact is coming from. He's just sometimes in a different mood is my opinion. I mean tons of characters do it.
NAMI: Greedy, Bossy, Scared
LUFFY: Angry, Goofy, Determined
SANJI: In love, Angry, Goofy
FRANKY: Sympathetic, Angry, Goofy -

That's what I been asking for but apparently dude was lying and it isn't a fact just some baseless speculation to a theory with nothing supporting it.
BB definitely did have 4 pistols.

Like I just said,
check out somewhere around pages 117-130ish.
its not just made up of guesswork like your "joke" theory is. There are plenty things that would lead to the Cerberus speculation.
You changed the damn numbers again… Last time, you said it was around 130 ~ 150 or some shit, not 117... Fuck, make up your mind already.
actually, I posted a brief draft on it about two or three pages ago.
I advise you not to read up on it though, because I probably wont respond to your insults directed at me because you dont like the theory.
That's better, now I can actually look at what crummy points you used, just to UPDATE my ever-so-much-better HYDRA theory, yeah!!:blink:
-
3 Personality theory isn't a theory, there is NOTHING supporting it.
Cerberus theory on the other hand would fit all the pieces to the puzzle together.
1. Shanks 3 scratches scar and BB's physical strengths
2. BB flag, 3 skulls
3. Ability to hold multiple fruits. Has achieved his goal and has 3 fruits assuming theory is true.
4. Constantly switching missing teeth. By constantly I mean on every single page there is a "mistake" about the position and number of missing teeth. If this was just an error it would have been corrected in the anime.
5. Zoan, Logia, Paramecia. Doesn't this suit as the last and the strongest villain in One Piece?
6. Its not 'him' its 'them'. Never made sense to me, until the theory. "Crew" explanation just didn't make sense, there was nothing hinting that he was with anyone, both of his pals were roaming around the town.Its not unimaginable to assume that since BB studied the book with all the known Devil Fruits, he could have found the one that would make him the most powerful.
And that its not the Darkness Fruit, as we have seen that every fruit has some kind of weakness and the fact that he got defeated by Magellan should prove this point. The whole speech that BB gave to Ace about finding the STRONGEST fruit and showing Darkness was just a misdirection.
His whole plan was to get the one last fruit and if Ace were to know that BB has 2 fruits and told this to Garp they might have been able to figure out BB's true motives for bringing in Ace.Now to counter some arguments that people will try to make
1. Its the darkness that allows him to hold multiple fruits, your theory sucks.
Then why didn't he try to kill Magellan and get his fruit, then steal WB's fruit and Ace's? Sure fire or poison aren't THE most powerful fruits but both make you immune to physical attacks plus being immune to devil fruit powers should be a nobrainer.
IF you think that its the darkness fruit that allows him to hold multiple fruits then your "theory" is one giant black hole. Its just an assumption that has to be backed up by another assumption, that has to be backed up by more assumptions.Ask simple questions like, how does it work, why can't he take 20 fruits, whats the limit, World Government would DEFINITELY know if there was such a powerful fruit BECAUSE THEIR GUY WROTE A BOOK ABOUT DEVIL FRUITS which BB read. No way in hell would they let him live, if they knew that Darkness fruit could do this.
2. I don't buy it, I can't see this happening, its stupid, its lame - thats not an argument so don't even bother replying if thats your thinking.
3. Its too far fetched - it this was Bleach I would agree. No way in hell I would buy this theory if it was Bleach, but its not, this is One Piece. It actually TIES everything together and it doesn't have ANY hard evidence to dismiss it.
If you want a real argument, don't post with the attitude "I already know better but I will argue anyway". Only post if you have any real reason as to why the theory is bad.
-
That's the whole theory, right?
-
PPL do know the missing teeth thing is recent right? It's not like this was happening in Mocktown or on Banaro island, and even a little BB appearances later.
Regardless, I'd need someone to explain why missing teeth or no teeth missing at all would point to BB eating a Cerberus zoan DF.
@Kaminari:6. Its not 'him' its 'them'. Never made sense to me, until the theory. "Crew" explanation just didn't make sense, there was nothing hinting that he was with anyone, both of his pals were roaming around the town.
It doesn't make sense that they were talking about his crew but it makes sense that they were talking about that BB was a Cerberus zoan user/has 3 heads? Explain.
3. Its too far fetched - it this was Bleach I would agree. No way in hell I would buy this theory if it was Bleach, but its not, this is One Piece. It actually TIES everything together and it doesn't have ANY hard evidence to dismiss it.
How does this reasoning help at all? How is your response to this starting with "If this was Bleach" suppose to make anyone take you seriously? You say it doesn't have any hard evidence to dismiss it like there's any hard evidence that supports it.
I just read this post and it's filled with terrible reasoning. You can't use lack of evidence as evidence. You go on to bash the darkness DF did it theory(equally as bad as your theory) and you ironically say it's an assumption backed up with another assumption.

Oda likes to foreshadow and plan things out, Kubo writes Bleach on the fly. Safe to assume that one is more likely to write such complicated thing that was planned since who knows when.
Not really bashing on Bleach, its just an easy analogy that just because its a complicated theory it has even BETTER chance of being true in One Piece.I just read this post and it's filled with terrible reasoning. You can't use lack of evidence as evidence. You go on to bash the darkness DF did it theory(equally as bad as your theory) and you ironically say it's an assumption backed up with another assumption.
I don't use lack of evidence as evidence, point 1,2,3,4,6 that I made in my post is based on EVIDENCE. The fact that there is not enough evidence to claim this theory as a FACT, doesn't stop it from being the most plausible.
If my theory is bad? Show me why and give me a better explanation to BB's flag, Shanks' scar and ability to hold multiple DF's?
The whole point of theories is to find the most plausible explanation, because in most cases there will never be proof until it is revealed.

@AGOG.
BB have nine DF not because he is Hydra. BB is Nine-Tailed Fox. -

From all of the frontal shots I'm only seeing one time where the tooth on the upper right appears and disappears. The side shots could just be us seeing more of BB's teeth as he talks since opening your moth wider would show you more teeth.
If a guy has 3 heads, do you refer to him as he or they? My reason for them being able to see through BB unlike WB crew is that AT THAT MOMENT, he didn't hide anything and it was his true self.
This doesn't make any sense. Somehow only Zoro and luffy were able to see 3 heads because BB didn't hide it and was showing his true self but Nami was completely unable to see the same because? She has eye problems? Luffy and Zoro have byakugan? jagan? Explain why only Luffy and Zoro have this special power to see things others can not or how BB revealed it to those 2 and only them. So far your reason doesn't make more sense than them referencing BB's crew. Has plenty of holes in it quite frankly.
Oda likes to foreshadow and plan things out, Kubo writes Bleach on the fly. Safe to assume that one is more likely to write such complicated thing that was planned since who knows when.
Not really bashing on Bleach, its just an easy analogy that just because its a complicated theory it has even BETTER chance of being true in One Piece.I'm not even gonna question how you know these things about Kubo other than you having a very presumptive opinion about Kubo's work on Bleach. I will say that Kubo is just much more predictable, doesn't mean he doesn't plan ahead or use foreshadowing in Bleach.
Oda using foreshadowing and planning things out isn't an excuse to say any theory you make up has worth.
I don't use lack of evidence as evidence, point 1,2,3,4,6 that I made in my post is based on EVIDENCE.
I don't see 3 skulls on a flag, 3 scratches on Shanks' eye, missing teeth that aren't always missing, and you misinterpreting a conversation as evidence that BB has 3 heads, ate a Cerberus zoan, etc.
my theory is bad?
Yes.
Show me why and give me a better explanation to BB's flag
I already said why it's bad. The 3 skulls symbolize past, present, and future all revolving around BB's fate theme. There's a couple other better explanations than 3 skulls = 3 DFs = Cerberus 3 headed zoan.
Shanks' scar
Clawed him with his hand and only 3 fingers left a scar (he has some pretty big hands) or maybe he used a weapon in the area as they fought.
ability to hold multiple DF's?
BB's abnormal body which Oda will reveal later. I don't see how one DF allowing you to eat other DFs falls in line with how Oda has structured DFs in the story or how he's made BB an exception for certain things.
The whole point of theories is to find the most plausible explanation, because in most cases there will never be proof until it is revealed.
I know this I just don't see this theory as most plausible. Possible? Yeah sure but this presentation doesn't help.
-
give me a better explanation to BB's flag, Shanks' scar and ability to hold multiple DF's?
Flag: Based off Christopher Condent's flag, represents the Moirae or Fates, fits his 3 theme.
Shanks's scar: He either a) pulled a knife on him or b) used his own fingernails
Multiple Devil Fruits: Possible power of the Yami, may have something to do with his body structure.
-
And Luffy is the Eight-Tailed Ox… If that bitch exists, but seriously, the Hydra was supposed to be there because it makes fun of the Cerberus title given to the theory.
-
From all of the frontal shots I'm only seeing one time where the tooth on the upper right appears and disappears. The side shots could just be us seeing more of BB's teeth as he talks since opening your moth wider would show you more teeth.
page 16 in both shots same teeth. 2 missing at sides of the nose and 1 from the 2nd row of teeth.
page 17 2nd row, left pic. Tooth is missing only form one side.

Tooth missing from the bottom is not missing anymoreI'm not even gonna question how you know these things about Kubo other than you having a very presumptive opinion about Kubo's work on Bleach. Oda using foreshadowing and planning things out isn't an excuse to say any theory you make up has worth.
Kubo has said this in multiple interviews. I'm not using it as a support to my theory but as the fact that you cannot dismiss it because it is somewhat far fetched.
I already said why it's bad. The 3 skulls symbolize past, present, and future all revolving around BB's fate theme. There's a couple other better explanations than 3 skulls = 3 DFs = Cerberus 3 headed zoan.
How did you figure out what his flag meant? I don't remember anything even slightly hinting about it being past, present and future. It could symbolize 3 devil fruits.
Clawed him with his hand and only 3 fingers left a scar (he has some pretty big hands) or maybe he used a weapon in the area as they fought.
Does Blackbeard carry any weapons other than guns? No, he has 3 guns and a bottle of rum.
We haven't seen him "clawing" anyone yet and if you even buy that he clawed Shanks, that actually doesn't hurt the theory. Because that is exactly what theory is suggesting.
He has 4 rings on his fingers, so if he punched him all 4 would leave a scar.I don't see 3 skulls on a flag, 3 scratches on Shanks' eye, missing teeth that aren't always missing, and you misinterpreting a conversation as evidence that BB has 3 heads, ate a Cerberus zoan, etc.
3 skulls on a flag = 3 heads
3 scratches = claws
inconsistent missing teeth = switching heads
that conversation doesn't have a real interpretation as far as anyone knows but it works as an evidence supporting the claim.
The theory came to light after BB stole WB's fruit, so all of the above are just pieces that people found fitting and it would explain at least how he is able to hold onto multiple fruits.BB's abnormal body which Oda will reveal later. I don't see how one DF allowing you to eat other DFs falls in line with how Oda has structured DFs in the story or how he's made BB an exception for certain things.
Oda has been pretty clear with the fact that a person cannot have more than 1 DF, there has to be a real reason as to why this doesn't apply to BB. Abnormal body could mean literally anything including a Cerberus Zoan.
Flag: Based off Christopher Condent's flag, represents the Moirae or Fates, fits his 3 theme.
I don't see anywhere in the article say what it represents and where anyone got 3 themes for BB?
Multiple Devil Fruits: Possible power of the Yami, may have something to do with his body structure.
Cannot be power of Yami because
Point #1. Why didn't he try to kill Magellan and get his fruit, then steal WB's fruit and Ace's? Sure fire or poison aren't THE most powerful fruits but both make you immune to physical attacks plus being immune to devil fruit powers should be a nobrainer.
Point #2. Ask simple questions like, how does it work, why can't he take 20 fruits, whats the limit, World Government would DEFINITELY know if there was such a powerful fruit BECAUSE THEIR GUY WROTE A BOOK ABOUT DEVIL FRUITS which BB read. No way in hell would they let him live, if they knew that Darkness fruit could do this.As for body comment I have addressed it above. Unless someone can tell me what exactly in his body structure gives him ability to hold multiple fruits or can counter my argument vs why it can't be Darkness fruit, you don't even have a theory here. Yet Cerberus theory still as plausible as with the "abnormal body" comment.

You're right trying to compare bleach to OP or Kubo to Oda isn't a point at all just waste of txt.
How did you figure out what his flag meant? I don't remember anything even slightly hinting about it being past, present and future. It could symbolize 3 devil fruits.
You asked what else they could mean. I gave you another possible reason.
Does Blackbeard carry any weapons other than guns? No, he has 3 guns and a bottle of rum.
Maybe you can not read. I said a weapon in the area. It's called improvising during a fight. Luffy's done it, Franky's done it. Why can't Teach?
We haven't seen him "clawing" anyone yet and if you even buy that he clawed Shanks, that actually doesn't hurt the theory. Because that is exactly what theory is suggesting.
You're saying he did it in his zoan form no? I'm saying he could've did it with his regular human hand. I don't see how what I'm saying and what the theory says is the same thing. If it is the same thing explain why BB clawing Shanks with his regular hand points to him having a Cerberus zoan.
Also just because we haven't seen BB claw anyone doesn't mean he's unable to use his hand to claw someone's face. How many ppl have we seen BB kick, knee, headbutt or elbow? Is he unable to do that too?
He has 4 rings on his fingers, so if he punched him all 4 would leave a scar.
How does a punch with rings on his finger leave a scar? Are you saying he punched his face and pushed his hand in a fist downwards? I don't know why you'd bring this up since I said he clawed him, not punch.
3 skulls on a flag = 3 heads
You gotta stick to what you're talking about you previously said the S skulls stood for 3 DFs in the same post.
3 scratches = claws
Like I said the 3 scratches could come from his regular hand. You're not really giving a reason why it could be claws.
inconsistent missing teeth = switching heads
So you're saying all 3 heads switch in the same exact position? Randomly.
that conversation doesn't have a real interpretation as far as anyone knows but it works as an evidence supporting the claim.
Fine so it's more reasonable to "interpret" the conversation differently to fit your theory.
Oda has been pretty clear with the fact that a person cannot have more than 1 DF, there has to be a real reason as to why this doesn't apply to BB. Abnormal body could mean literally anything including a Cerberus Zoan.
Yeah I'm saying a DF that grants that pretty much goes against that. It'd make more sense that the reason lied in an outside factor not dealing with DFs but something already existing dealing with Teach's nature.
-
I've read enough to grasp the gist of it all; "just because the fruit doesn't exist and that you happen to read things incorrectly, you feel that your theory is as fact as my wet dreams of Perona…"
I mean, seriously?
Blackbeard's 3 motif + the stealing of Whitebeard's fruit + No explanation + Lack of important Zoans + Some lost in translation comment by Luffy and Zoro = Cerberus Cerberus Fruit
- Motif, you say? Could you elaborate on your misinterpretation of that very word please…
- Now, that's just silly– what if Marco had stolen his fruit, would you be claiming he was a Cerberus as well? Seriously, why don't you provide any proof why there is any point from a plot's relevance to give Blackbeard a third Devil Fruit in order to justify him having "three" ones, really...
- You think that there is "no explanation" when I think that Oda explained perfectly well and straight-forward to his readers that the Darkness Fruit was a special case, and therefore it provides a "truthful" explanation, an obvious one too, to the whole "mystery" …
- Now, this is 100% pitiful: "just cause there aren't any Zoans!!"
- That "they" is your mistake, not the rest of the people highly opposed to even taking this joke seriously.
- Lastly, the prudent choice of a name… Well done, you have been demoted to an even lower stature on my listing of IQ.
Teach's motif with the number 3. (3 heads on his sail, shanks 3 marked scar that was given to him, Teach's three pistols, Teach's three personalities, Teach's three original missing teeth, etc.)
Does this imply that Hancock has the Hydra Zoan because she has the consistent nagging of "9" and that Franky would then be forced to have a "7-headed" zoan because of his affiliation with that very number?
Even though I was put off on the absurdity of this, let's examine the ideas:
- 3 heads are used to symbolize something totally different: the future, past, and present… It is even more factual when you account the formation that they happen to be arranged, not the idea that this basically creates some proof for a three-headed being to exist. There are many of them, by the way.
- Silly… Do you even know how he got that scar? No. Do you even need to know? No. Why continue to expecting something from a scar, and injury? Moot.
- He actually has Four Pistols.
- How baffling this is – personalities, mind expanding for the rest of us that don't think too deep into something pointlessly OBVIOUS and direct, eh?
- Lastly, the sum of all ridicule to exist; teeth. What a laughable prank you have said…
I'm going to tell you to reread the Knock-Up Stream encounter to see it vividly explained upon clarification for the dimwits. It states, and I paraphrase: "So, that "they" you were talking about was talking about the very crew that he was with, the "not alone" segment he was discussing!!"
That was what was there, in the manga, which you seemingly either refuse to accept, or profusely skipped. This "they" you assume exists is 100% your mistranslation on the whole meaning.
-
His ability to have multiple either comes from the Yami Yami no mi or it would be the answer to Ace saying he has lived enough for 2 lives (basically). How he has lived 2 lives, unknown and really no speculation that I can think of to how that is possible, he never ate Brooke's fruit so I'm lost on that part.

Ace said that Blackbeard was "twice" the age of him, not that he lived two separate lives… He merely said, "You are two times as old as I am..."

I just figured Ace was saying he's lived twice as long as him. Ace is 20 and BB is probably 40 something.
What Ace said before they fought is something else I see ppl misinterpret.

hmmm, if abnormal body is the result of a DF (in this case, cerberus DF), then everybody who has eaten DF would be considered abnormal too.

hmmm,
#1 Maybe because the limit is exist or have some consequences to user's body (like Luffy using too much gear 2nd or Magellan using too much poison).
#2 Like I said, there is a limit, Luffy cant strecth his body to 20 KMs long. Buggy cant control his body parts that separated far away from him, Aokiji cant freeze the entire world, and the list goes on…
Maybe, they dont know that Yami Yami can do that, it is the matter of the user's creativity. The perfect example would be Gomu Gomu no Mi. Even if that fruit exists in the book and its power is explained (give you power of rubber), you cant use Gear 2nd or Gear 3rd unless you figured it yourself. Luffy himself using that power after 10 years since he ate that DF. -
I forgot about the Akainu thing lol. I guess he was hiding the fact he ate a 2nd DF and is hiding it until the time is right.

Ought to be as "prominent" as the idea that Blackbeard can magically regrow TEETH when he changes a personality, or that he even holds "three" of them because of the OBVIOUS examples where a few insignificant, and incorrect, points are examined and accounted for; teeth, guns, skulls on his flag, and the number of scars he inflicted upon another character.
And you state that this sort of thing cannot be used to signify that those very characters, that hold practically identical reason as this theory suggests to not have the chance of holding the same significance as the very epitome of the Cerberus Theory– why not?:getlost:

And you state that this sort of thing cannot be used to signify that those very characters, that hold practically identical reason as this theory suggests to not have the chance of holding the same significance as the very epitome of the Cerberus Theory– why not?:getlost:
I'm not here to say who is correct or who is wrong, people can believe whatever they wish, but using those example when Usoup is fighting and having a massive rock flew to his face, and then having a few missing teeth here and there during the "battle" is different than BB standing there talking and his teeth changes without the cause or effect of battle, like you said "magically".
I like the Ceberus theory and all but I'm not saying it's a certain thing, but when using examples, i would prefer if it is recurring and in similar situation as of BB, If for example, Usoup's teeth keep changing patterns while his not in battle and the patterns is recurring every time i see him, i will shut up.
-
Has anyone made the "fetus in fetu" argument for Blackbeard? If he's keeping two twins alive in that massive belly of his, along with a variant of Kumadori's bio-feedback, he could extend the use of the devil fruits in his twins from his belly to his hands, thus explaining having a fruit in each hand.

I've got news for you, this "magic" idea is fictional. There is proof that Oda doesn't even want to have any magic in the manga, meaning that he doesn't want supernatural means, aside from DF users, explaining how certain things work.
It means, there's no split personalities or something as absurd as that stuff which people claim makes up the "terrible" foundation of the Cerberus Theory.

thanks for the news, but the word "magically" was used in your previous post, so it is not I who've used the word or the related terms of it, hence the quotation. "terrible" it may be in your perception but others may think otherwise, calling it absurd is your opinion, which i respect. I was merely dis-please with the example used for the debate about teeth via Usoup and BB, I've express and outlined what i dis-please about it and now moving on. thanks for the debate, have a good day.

I hope to have a great one…
Lastly, I was using magically as a means of mockery, not what you implied.

Forget about a cerberus, BB ate the Oni Oni no Mi - Model Asura. He has three human heads that rotate around a single neck and can grow 4 extra arms!
Just kidding, I very much prefer the theory that 3 heads in the flag represent the fates. Shanks scar can come from many things, for all we know it was an attack with a broken bottle picked mid-fight by BB. We'll see what it means that he has an abnormal body when the time comes, but it's probably something inherent to him and not related to the devil fruits; the Yami Yami no Mi allowed him to draw WB's powers out since it's gravity, not necessarily to absorb and hold them.

After reading the most recent posts, I just thought of something. When Undead Assault posted this:
#2 Like I said, there is a limit, Luffy cant stretch his body to 20 KMs long. Buggy cant control his body parts that separated far away from him, Aokiji cant freeze the entire world, and the list goes on…
Maybe, they don't know that Yami Yami can do that, it is the matter of the user's creativity. The perfect example would be Gomu Gomu no Mi. Even if that fruit exists in the book and its power is explained (give you power of rubber), you cant use Gear 2nd or Gear 3rd unless you figured it yourself. Luffy himself using that power after 10 years since he ate that DF.
I bolded the important part of what made me think of something. Now, as UA pointed out, just because the Devil Fruit was in the book stating the power of said devil fruit, does NOT by any means list every possible attribute and/or ability "said" devil fruit can bestow upon it's user. For all we know, the book could just list the general traits of the Devil Fruit, have a picture of it, and leave it at that. "Entry 046854P - Gomu Gomu no Mi. Paramecia. Has the ability to turn your body into rubber." Same could apply for the Yami² fruit. We just don't know. BUT, here's the caveat to what I was going to point out….
Luffy, after realizing that he needed to improve his abilities in order to protect his crewmates (with a little motivation due to Aokiji), upgraded himself with his Gears. No possible feat for anyone, were it not for his DF ability that allowed him this. Would it also not be prudent to say that Blackbeard, after researching everything he could about the Yami² fruit, and fighting Ace, also found ways to improve and/or upgrade his Yami powers?
Maybe it's possible that, once he realized his darkness had the power to "absorb devil fruit powers" by contacting them (thereby negating DF users back to normal during said contact), Blackbeard could have touched upon this specific trait more to see if maybe, possibly he could find a way to absorb the devil fruit and keep its power using his darkness….
If you had figured out a way to have access to another devil fruit power, even though you already had one, but you weren't sure if the way you figured out would work or not, wouldn't you test this out first on the devil fruit power you most wanted next, just in case it doesn't work out as expected and you die because of it or what have you? It's possible that Blackbeard thought this very way; Not knowing if his darkness might ACTUALLY absorb the fruit's power and KEEP it, he simply tried it first on the person whose power he wanted next the most: Whitebeard's Gura² fruit. Maybe this is WHY Shiryuu said what he said during that exact situation when BB was under the blanket. And, this also explains why he didn't bother stealing anyone else's powers (Ace, Magellan, etc.) UNTIL then...
...yeah, it's just as much a theory as anything else. But, it's no worse than saying someone with a Zoan fruit can switch heads in the blink of an eye and NOT show any Zoan properties at all regarding the said fruit that allowed one to do so. And don't get me started on how Ace or Magellan's fruits give you the ability to be immune to physical attacks and Devil fruit powers. That makes NO SENSE!

im pretty curious as to which WILL blackbeard is carrying with the D in his name. Obviously Luffy has part of Rogers and some powerful character from the void century…. but what could Blackbeard have? Perhaps BB is carrying the will of the evil that the world government is trying to hide?

Im sorry but what? @ Muda Muda no mi, thats an interesting theory. A lot of people believe he was able to gain WB's DF abilities due to his own DF. Not that it was because a "magic blanket" allows him to, or that he has 3 lifes/personalities rubbish. I am going to stick to that idea as well until proven otherwise, seems to make the most sense to me.
-
hmmm, @Muda Muda No Mi, yeah, but I think BB already has the theory even before he got his Yami Yami no Fruit. And when he stolen WB's power, that was his first time.
When he fought Ace, BB said that his DF are unique and something about becoming the strongest. In that time, I began to think that his ability to sucks people and negates DF ability werent so special, after all he is relying on his fist to attack, not his DF ability. And Yami Yami no Fruit also didnt involved too much in his defense except from people with DF. Common logia fruit are generally stronger and better than his DF in terms of offense and defense.
So, what so special and unique about his DF are its ability to absorb other DF ability, that's why I think BB already has this theory that time. And about how to absorb, I think it is the opposite of Kuma's ability. If Kuma can repels anything, than BB can absorbs anythink.
And about cerberus theory, the base of that theory is one head per DF, right? But BB can use 2 powers at the same time (Chapter 577 page 14-15) with only one head.
-
Im sorry but what?
Well roger told whitebeard the meaning of the D in the names of those who have it. My guess is that he probably found out when he went to Raftel. We also know that someone's will is carried out through generations as shown in the scene where Ace dies. What really intrigues me is that Whitebeard specifically told Blackbeard that he was not the one who carried it. Roger was also looking for the person who did, but never found him. Whichever will it is, comes from something nasty that involves the void century. At this point of the story Oda already polarized the 2 strong forces that will clash together in the final chapters, blackbeard vs strawhats. It is safe to assume that luffy either carries the will or will find the person Roger was looking for. And Blackbeard, well… maybe someone in the past only sought chaos , destruction and power. Which matches his personality. We know that in the void century weapons of mass destruction were constructed ( neptulion ) and perhaps the evil behind it had a strong will(power).
So to clear it up, I was basically wondering even if BB didnt carry the will roger was looking for he could be carrying something equally strong as he is now the most powerful being in the OP universe with a D in his name. The only thing he doesn't have is the Royalsomething Haki!

You changed the damn numbers again… Last time, you said it was around 130 ~ 150 or some shit, not 117... Fuck, make up your mind already.
That's better, now I can actually look at what crummy points you used, just to UPDATE my ever-so-much-better HYDRA theory, yeah!!:blink:
Actually, I said 118-130ish, sorry. one page difference.
@Cyan:
Flag: Based off Christopher Condent's flag, represents the Moirae or Fates, fits his 3 theme.
Shanks's scar: He either a) pulled a knife on him or b) used his own fingernails
Multiple Devil Fruits: Possible power of the Yami, may have something to do with his body structure.
All three of those are as farfetched as the Cerberus theory. :getlost:
Clawed him with his hand and only 3 fingers left a scar (he has some pretty big hands) or maybe he used a weapon in the area as they fought.
Who the hell has strong enough, or sharp enough, or long enough fingernails to inflict such a permanent scar onto a yonkou. I highly doubt Teach bitch slapped shanks in the face and gave him such a ridiculous scar.
AGOG's Block of text.
Ignore those two quotes I quoted.
I just posted them because I didnt feel like retyping everything.Check out Kaminaris posts two pages ago, he presents a better argument for it than I did.
hmmm, in Chapter 578 page 8, Akainu's face is without wounds, in page 10-11, he is wounded again, in page 12, his wounds are missing again, in page 16-17, the wounds are there. Do you think Akainu is switching his heads?
Thats because Akainu is a logia. The thing about Teach's Logia is that it cant regenerate his body (like Aces, Akainus, Aokijis, Kizarus etc.)
Are you ready for the next example?
Chapter 185 page 15, no Usopp's teeth is missing.
Chapter 185 page 18, 1 upper right teeth is missing.
Chapter 185 page 19, 2 more teeths are missing.
Chapter 186 page 4, only 1 teeth is missing.
Chapter 186 page 11, 2 teeths are missing.
Chapter 192 page 2, no missing teeth.
It seems that Usopp has more heads that BB, but wait, he doesnt eat a DF, did he?Valid Point. I will submit to that point, I still think that theres something fishy to do with Teach's teeth patterns.
hmmm, in chapter 575, last page, if you look closely, you will see his 4th pistol (covered by his clothes), but you still can see the gun's handle.
Do you have a few more examples? That couldve easily been a scan error, or even a drawing error.
hmmm, if abnormal body is the result of a DF (in this case, cerberus DF), then everybody who has eaten DF would be considered abnormal too.
Maybe if they had eaten an Ancient/Mythical Zoan fruit it could be considered abnormal (im sure three heads would be considered abnormal too.)
Check out these two quotes from wisshard.
@Wisshard:Or maybe Blackbeard has a high mastery of his fruit and only did a minor transformation for a moment or two (since he wanted to conceal his real powers). That could possible also have been what caused Shanks the uneasy feeling about Blackbeard because he didn't see fully what it was, and that he was hiding his real powers. A (potential or current, whatever Shanks was at the moment of the fight)) Yonkou is very likely strong enough force Blackbeard to pull out all his tricks to survive.
We all know Blackbeard is prone to deception and inclined to hide his real power. His purpose to sail under Whitebeard was twofold. For starters (and the main reason), because the chances (according to Blackbeard) to find the Yami Yami fruit was higher there. And secondly, to hide in Whitebeard's shadow, avoid any attention to himself, while he searched for the Yami fruit and planned. He concealed his real fighting strength and his ambition to become Pirate King, so would it not be plausible that he would hide that he had the Cerberus fruit if he had it?
(Not that I'm particulary convinced of the Cerberus theory either^)
(just some pretty tasty points).
#1 Maybe because the limit is exist or have some consequences to user's body (like Luffy using too much gear 2nd or Magellan using too much poison).
This point is just fighting fire with fire, we both have the theories, although im guilty of it too, thats just fighting a theory with another theory. Teach has already defied the natural "consequences" of achieving more than one devil fruit, whatever his method is, I doubt he would stop unless he knew there would be consequences. Teach isnt an idiot, he obviously knows his limits as to how many fruits he can have, or he just wouldve taken everyones up until now. Maybe his "limit" is three? One fruit for each head of the Cerberus. It would be perfect too, he would have one of each type of fruit : Zoan (a mythical nonetheless), Logia, and Paramecia. No doubt some of the most powerful of each type as well.
#2 Like I said, there is a limit, Luffy cant strecth his body to 20 KMs long. Buggy cant control his body parts that separated far away from him, Aokiji cant freeze the entire world, and the list goes on…
Maybe, they dont know that Yami Yami can do that, it is the matter of the user's creativity. The perfect example would be Gomu Gomu no Mi. Even if that fruit exists in the book and its power is explained (give you power of rubber), you cant use Gear 2nd or Gear 3rd unless you figured it yourself. Luffy himself using that power after 10 years since he ate that DF.We Dont know if theres a limit yet. Although we all know Oda isnt an idiot, and hes going to in some way limit the amount of devil fruit abilities Teach can use, and the Cerberus theory would fit that almost perfectly.
What exactly is your theory on how he uses the darkness fruit to sustain the amount of devil fruits he can use?
I definitely believe that he used the darkness fruit to extract the ability though. My guess is that he used the cloak to cover them so he could become complete darkness, then he extracted the ability out of Newgates body with the darkness fruit, and the Cerberus fruit allows him to sustain Newgates ability.
Has anyone made the "fetus in fetu" argument for Blackbeard? If he's keeping two twins alive in that massive belly of his, along with a variant of Kumadori's bio-feedback, he could extend the use of the devil fruits in his twins from his belly to his hands, thus explaining having a fruit in each hand.
That could definitely be a possiblity, but I find the Cerberus theory much more plausible, it would tie a lot of loose ends.
Just kidding, I very much prefer the theory that 3 heads in the flag represent the fates. Shanks scar can come from many things, for all we know it was an attack with a broken bottle picked mid-fight by BB. We'll see what it means that he has an abnormal body when the time comes, but it's probably something inherent to him and not related to the devil fruits; the Yami Yami no Mi allowed him to draw WB's powers out since it's gravity, not necessarily to absorb and hold them.
Did you guys know this? (read below)
Well, I'm going to play Devil's advocate on this one even though I'm not buying into this theory. A Cerberus is a creature of darkness whose 3 heads represent past, present, and future (much like the 3 goddesses of fate represent). The symbolism all fits.
Also, it's technically the heads of 3 different animals (dog, lion, and wolf). Whats that? the Cerberus three heads represent the three heads of fate?
If you want to use the argument that the three skulls on his flag represent the three fates, well, I have actual proof that the cerberus three heads represents the three fates.
Maybe it's possible that, once he realized his darkness had the power to "absorb devil fruit powers" by contacting them (thereby negating DF users back to normal during said contact), Blackbeard could have touched upon this specific trait more to see if maybe, possibly he could find a way to absorb the devil fruit and keep its power using his darkness….
If this were the case, why wouldnt he have taken every fruit ability up until now? He easily couldve taken Ace's, or Magellans.
Tell me, are you saying thats how he extracted the ability, or is that how he sustains the ability.
Maybe this is WHY Shiryuu said what he said during that exact situation when BB was under the blanket. And, this also explains why he didn't bother stealing anyone else's powers (Ace, Magellan, etc.) UNTIL then…
MAYBE Shiryuu said that because hes technically been a member of Blackbeards crew for what, four hours?
Ill come from a point of the Cerberus theory being true okay?
Since Shiryuu was a member of Teach's Crew for a few hours, he most likely thought that Teach only had the darkness fruit. I highly doubt Teach gave him much information on the subject of how he would achieve getting another devil fruit ability, probably because :•Shiryuu is an ex-convict on death row
•He was ex warden of Impel Down
•He worked for the marines for numerous years
•The Government could easily have striken a deal with him to rat out Teach's methods, and they could reward him with wardenship to Impel Down yet again (especially if Magellan is near death, they'll need a powerful Warden to run the place for a while), and of course take him off of death row.Teach's original crew members too didnt seem uneasy at all, If they knew that Teach had a third head, and that he ate a second devil fruit already. It would be a pretty safe bet that Teach would survive eating a third fruit, for the third head.
And don't get me started on how Ace or Magellan's fruits give you the ability to be immune to physical attacks and Devil fruit powers. That makes NO SENSE!
Care to extrapolate on Ace? I can agree with Magellan, since hes a Paramecia (?). But we've seen several times on several logias where bullets, or punches, or kicks, or cannon balls fly directly through them. I would consider that immune to physical attacks. So far the only time this hasnt worked, is when the logia is fighting their polar opposite (IE:Crocodile getting hit by water), with the use of haki, or when the user purposely keeps their body intact (like when Ace used his physical body to block Akainus attack to save luffy), or when your logia just doesnt allow it (Teach).
And about cerberus theory, the base of that theory is one head per DF, right? But BB can use 2 powers at the same time (Chapter 577 page 14-15) with only one head.
Just that your zoan ability isnt physically active doesnt mean that you dont have a zoan ability anymore. To effectively answer that, ill have to answer with a theory (sorry D:).
I would say its plausible that he can just use the abilities without his Cerberus ability being active.
-
All three of those are as farfetched as the Cerberus theory. :getlost:
How is Blackbeard using a weapon and his flag being related to a real life pirate's flag more farfetched than him having some mysterious Zoan. It's not like oda has never used a real life pirate as an inspiration for a character before.
Also, care to provide evidence for the multiple personalities?
-
Who the hell has strong enough, or sharp enough, or long enough fingernails to inflict such a permanent scar onto a yonkou. I highly doubt Teach bitch slapped shanks in the face and gave him such a ridiculous scar.
Who the fuck do you think I'm talking about? Of course you would highly doubt that since you believe BB turned in to a Cerebrus and bitch slapped Shanks with his claws.
And again why are you quoting me not providing the proof you claimed was in the manga or explaining why BB having multiple personalities is fact or explaining why you called that a fact and then called it your opinion later? If you conceded CONCEDE. Don't be quoting me without my name and slipping it in long ass posts of nonsense to act like you replied with any kind of a point when you can't even reply to my post on the previous pages.
Also LOL @ it being far fetched that Oda would base BB's flag off of another pirates flag(basing characters among other things off of real life pirates and events in piracy being something he's frequently done), especially equally as far fetched as your theory.
Just in case you forgot

Being that you replied to a bunch of people in one post, I'll just reply to mine
If this were the case, why wouldnt he have taken every fruit ability up until now? He easily couldve taken Ace's, or Magellans.
Tell me, are you saying thats how he extracted the ability, or is that how he sustains the ability.
Can't it be both? We already know that the Yami² fruit has the ability to "absorb" devil fruit powers (Blackbeard says so himself on Banaro Island), so I wouldn't think it too farfetched for him to absorb a power and keep it…
I mean, Oda made it very clear that Blackbeard bided his time until he could find the Yami² fruit. I could even say "we all know Blackbeard is prone to deception and inclined to hide his real power. His purpose to sail under Whitebeard was twofold. For starters (and the main reason), because the chances (according to Blackbeard) to find the Yami Yami fruit was higher there. And secondly, to hide in Whitebeard's shadow, avoid any attention to himself, while he searched for the Yami fruit and planned. He concealed his real fighting strength and his ambition to become Pirate King."
But besides all that, if (let's say) the Cerberus theory is true, then how would BB have extracted the Gura²'s power from Whitebeard? Feast on his corpse? Hide a blanket over him so no one would see a tiny fruit sprouting out of his body!?
At least with the Yami² fruit, there's a possible reason how this could happen (given BB's motives for wanting it to begin with, and the comments he's made regarding it's "abilities")…
-

Oh yeah, im not saying thats not a possibility at all. Its actually the theory I believe second to the Cerberus.
The main reason I believe in the Cerberus theory, is because it ties up so so so so so many loose ends. If he were to have the fruit, virtually everything would fit into place.
But besides all that, if (let's say) the Cerberus theory is true, then how would BB have extracted the Gura²'s power from Whitebeard? Feast on his corpse? Hide a blanket over him so no one would see a tiny fruit sprouting out of his body!?
thats why I asked which side of the coin you were directing all of that out.
Im not doubting at all thats how he extracted the fruit from Newgates body, thats actually exactly what I believe. Im saying that the Cerberus fruit allows his body to sustain having more than one ability. Sorry for the misunderstanding :s

Cannot be power of Yami because
Point #1. Why didn't he try to kill Magellan and get his fruit, then steal WB's fruit and Ace's? Sure fire or poison aren't THE most powerful fruits but both make you immune to physical attacks plus being immune to devil fruit powers should be a nobrainer.
Point #2. Ask simple questions like, how does it work, why can't he take 20 fruits, whats the limit, World Government would DEFINITELY know if there was such a powerful fruit BECAUSE THEIR GUY VEGAPUNK WROTE A BOOK ABOUT DEVIL FRUITS which BB read. No way in hell would they let him live, if they knew that Darkness fruit could do this.
Both points create HUGE plotholes.
Magellan's fruit is arguably even better than Logia in terms of not being able to get hit, all BB would have to do is catch someone and simply by touching them he would not only disable their powers but also kill them with poison.
#2 Like I said, there is a limit, Luffy cant strecth his body to 20 KMs long. Buggy cant control his body parts that separated far away from him, Aokiji cant freeze the entire world, and the list goes on…
Maybe, they dont know that Yami Yami can do that, it is the matter of the user's creativity. The perfect example would be Gomu Gomu no Mi. Even if that fruit exists in the book and its power is explained (give you power of rubber), you cant use Gear 2nd or Gear 3rd unless you figured it yourself. Luffy himself using that power after 10 years since he ate that DF.Read my post #3012, even if you don't support the Cerberus theory here is the counter argument to your post.
YAMI YAMI IS NOT THE ULTIMATE fruit, BB was EASILY defeated by Magellan. BB told Ace that this fruit makes him the most powerful and that he was searching for it for 20 years. THE ONLY POSSIBLE explanation to this would be that HE KNEW what that fruit could do (steal powers) and how would he know it? BY READING THE DF book.
#3012 here I explained the other possibly explanation, but it is one that supports Cerberus theory. Yami stealing powers is a plot hole if it is true.
I'm gonna reply to some of the previous posts when I get the time.

Magellan's fruit is arguably even better than Logia in terms of not being able to get hit, all BB would have to do is catch someone and simply by touching them he would not only disable their powers but also kill them with poison.
hmmm, you hit Akainu, you lost your hand, literally.
You hit Aokiji, you may frozen to death.
You hit Ace, you burned.
You hit Enel and you are not Luffy, even worse.
But of course, they must turned on their abilities first.Read my post #3012, even if you don't support the Cerberus theory here is the counter argument to your post.

Having the ultimate fruit doesn't make you invulnerable. WB is the perfect example, he possessed Gura Gura Fruit but he still stabbed easily by Squardo.
Yes, he lets his guard down and is getting old, but still.THE ONLY POSSIBLE explanation to this would be that HE KNEW what that fruit could do (steal powers) and how would he know it? BY READING THE DF book.
Only possible explanation? So you are basically stating that your theory is a fact and doesn't consider the other possibilities?
We dont know what has been stated in the DF book, but I expect it would contain the appearance of the fruit and the power it bestows, but I dont expect it would explain every potential it has.So I think it will be like this:
Goro Goro Fruit -> Logia -> Power of lightning. But to use its power to do thunder alchemy or electromagnetic waves enhancing mantra? I highly doubt it will be stated in the book.Gomu Gomu Fruit -> Paramecia -> Power of rubber. The book will say something like Gear 2nd or 3rd? I doubt it.
Yami Yami Fuit -> Logia -> Power of darkness/gravity. And I'm pretty sure the book doesnt say about took other's powers. Why? Because if it stated in the book, everyone who reads the book will know that.
That's why I said BB already has a theory to steal someone's power by his own creativity not from the book. -

Yes, he lets his guard down and is getting old, but still.Wb let himself get hit, he never planned coming back alive he just wanted to sink Marineford.
He still handled BB without his fruit and with half of his head missing, he handled Akainu in 2 hits.Do you not realize that the whole argument fails when BB has said himself that he searched TWENTY YEARS for this fruit. HE ALREADY KNEW what he was going to do with it. It is unimaginably stupid to think that he didn't know what he was doing and that he only later found out that he can steal abilities.
Then the next question is WHY DID HE NOT TAKE Ace's fruit or Magellans if he could just steal abilities? Gura Gura + any Logia or Doku Doku + Yami Yami = unbeatable.This is why Cerberus theory is so good, it explains why he wanted Wb's fruit (last fruit he can take), why he didn't take every fruit he encountered, why GOVERNMENT didn't realize that his plan was to steal WB's fruit, it would explain that they were thinking his fruit is Yami Yami when in reality he had another unique DF that allows him to have 3 powers.
Now that I think about it, I will be disappointed if it isn't Cerberus fruit. Because any other explanation would probably fail to explain the following > Why he wanted Yami fruit if he didn't know it could steal powers > why he can't steal 2nd Logia and become invincible > why nobody in the world know the power of Yami fruit except him.

Cannot be power of Yami because
Point #1. Why didn't he try to kill Magellan and get his fruit, then steal WB's fruit and Ace's? Sure fire or poison aren't THE most powerful fruits but both make you immune to physical attacks plus being immune to devil fruit powers should be a nobrainer.
If you read the entire post, you'd see my reasonings behind why I said what I said: It's a simple possibility that Blackbeard, unsure of whether or not he could absorb a fruit's power and keep it, decided to try it out on the first person whose fruit he really wanted NEXT: Whitebeard. This simple possibility EASILY explains why he didn't steal Magellan's fruit; why risk trying it out on someone whose fruit you don't want as bad!? Same goes for Ace. Besides, whether or not it's because of the Yami² (or Cerberus²), it would only apply if the user was DEAD to begin with. Otherwise, the fruit powers would return back to the user (like what happened with Ace on Banaro). And obviously, Blackbeard kept Ace alive so he could give him to the WG (and, in doing so, get his spot in the Shichibukai).
And I can understand some sort of immunity to physical attacks (through a logia, but not so much Magellan's poison), but how the hell does any of those make you IMMUNE to devil fruit powers!? Explain that…
Point #2. Ask simple questions like, how does it work, why can't he take 20 fruits, whats the limit, World Government would DEFINITELY know if there was such a powerful fruit BECAUSE THEIR GUY VEGAPUNK WROTE A BOOK ABOUT DEVIL FRUITS which BB read. No way in hell would they let him live, if they knew that Darkness fruit could do this.
See above. Asking questions like that would lead to NOWHERE, because you nor I are ODA, so we don't have the factual answers! Hence why everything we're talking about here are THEORIES, OPINIONS, CONJECTURE, SPECULATION (whatever word suits you).
As for the second part of your point, you could be right about the WG knowing about the Yami²'s power; Vegapunk might've wrote all those books (we DON'T know this, and neither do you), and all the information regarding the Yami²'s power might've been written there (including the footnote saying that it absorbs DF powers, etc.), but that still doesn't stop the fact that you still have to FIND the damn thing. Which is why Blackbeard sailed with WB all those years: the chances of finding said fruit were highest with him. Going back to what Wisshard said before, Blackbeard also hid in Whitebeard's shadow, avoided any attention to himself, while he searched for the Yami fruit and planned. He concealed his real fighting strength and his ambition to become Pirate King.
Once Thatch found the fruit, it's possible no one on WB's ship (with the obvious exception of BB) knew what powers that fruit bestowed. And, even when BB killed him, took the fruit (eventually eating it), and escaped, you never heard anything about him! He was still under the radar. When the Strawhats run into him on Jaya, you aren't introduced to him until AFTER he makes his plans known. And even then, he doesn't show any instance of having the fruit's power. In fact, all that time that he's been chased by Ace (who, mind you, was looking for him since OBVIOUSLY before Drum), no one knew of Blackbeard. Sengoku knew nothing of this "Blackbeard" fellow when Lafitte offered him up as a possible candidate back in Mariejois, and even remarked something about him having NO bounty. So, explain to me HOW the WG would, No way in hell, let him live, if they knew that Darkness fruit could do this if NO ONE KNEW he had the fruit to begin with. The only people who knew or SAW Blackbeard had the Yami² fruit's powers before his expose at marineford were ACE back on Banaro, and Luffy's escape crew in Impel Down; both situations that were isolated from the World Government.
So, now that the WG KNOWS that Blackbeard has this powerful fruit, it's only obvious that they won't wanna let him live (especially now that he's coupled it with another dangerous fruit power). And, to answer the "why can't he take 20 fruits" or whatever, maybe NOW that he knows that it is in fact POSSIBLE to absorb a fruit and keep it, who's to stop him from finding another user with a power that he wants. We can't vouch for Blackbeard because we don't know what the next step in his plan is; and we most CERTAINLY can't vouch for Oda, who's writing all this shit!
Both points create HUGE plotholes.
Explain what plotholes this would create? Because I can't see any…
Magellan's fruit is arguably even better than Logia in terms of not being able to get hit, all BB would have to do is catch someone and simply by touching them he would not only disable their powers but also kill them with poison.
No, because you still have the possibility of GETTING hit! Just because you're drenched in your own fluids doesn't make you impervious to physical attack (Luffy did so himself, even when he knew he'd get poisoned). And we're not even TALKING about ranged attacks or DF powers. I can easily see Doflamingo slicing at him like Oars Leg, or Kuma using that "Paw Cannon", or Kidd slapping him with a huge ass METAL arm. Point is, Magellan is just as much a target for DF powers as any other yahoo would be against someone who had DF powers that didn't require attacking physically.
And yes, IF Blackbeard had his fruit, he probably COULD do something like what you said, but alas he CAN'T because that window of opportunity is gone and closed.
Read my post #3012, even if you don't support the Cerberus theory here is the counter argument to your post.
Already have; it's the same copypasta here that I'm replying to, so there's no need to refer to it.
YAMI YAMI IS NOT THE ULTIMATE fruit, BB was EASILY defeated by Magellan. BB told Ace that this fruit makes him the most powerful and that he was searching for it for 20 years. THE ONLY POSSIBLE explanation to this would be that HE KNEW what that fruit could do (steal powers) and how would he know it? BY READING THE DF book.
Well, maybe it IS the ultimate from Blackbeard's perspective, hence why he was searching for it for so long! Doesn't make him the all-knowing god of Devil fruits just because he made an opinion about a fruit that HE thinks is the greatest. You don't see anyone complaining about their DF powers; in fact, if you ask any one of those DF users who have top-of-the-line powers, I'd be willing to guess that they too think theirs is the ultimate fruit.
Aokiji: I have the ultimate fruit! I can freeze entire fucking oceans for christ's sake!
Kizaru: I have the ultimate fruit~~! Why? Cause I can move at the speed of light, fire beams of MASS destruction from any point of my body, and I'm impervious to attack!
Akainu: I can beat fire and rain magma fists! Plus, I can melt a man's face off ALONG with half of his supposed "kickass" moustache. Can you!?
Moria: If I were a smart man, I could easily rip your shadow off of you in clear daylight, just to watch you burn. Not to mention, I can switch places with my shadow whenever I so choose.
Doflamingo: I can control your every action AGAINST your will, and I can cut every appendage off of you before you even realized it happened!
etc., ad infinitum….
Anyways, just because Blackbeard thinks it's the ULTIMATE fruit ever, doesn't make it right! Especially if you think him stealing the Gura²'s power was NOT because of the Yami²! If it IS because of the Yami², then he has every reason to say it's the ultimate fruit (because he has the Gura² now because of it)!
#3012 here I explained the other possibly explanation, but it is one that supports Cerberus theory. Yami stealing powers is a plot hole if it is true.
Why direct me to a different page if more than half of that post is on the one on THIS page? Anyways, I would like to hear your perspective on what kind of plothole this would make, and why?

And obviously, Blackbeard kept Ace alive so he could give him to the WG (and, in doing so, get his spot in the Shichibukai).
After Ace died, why didn't he take his Logia power?
And I can understand some sort of immunity to physical attacks (through a logia, but not so much Magellan's poison), but how the hell does any of those make you IMMUNE to devil fruit powers!? Explain that…
It is Blackbeards reasoning behind getting Yami fruit (DF immunity). Obviously you aren't immune to physical attacks even as Logia but we still call it immune, Doku fruit would eat your hands making you semi immune to physical attacks couple that with Yami fruit that BB said that he wanted specifically so he can nullify anyone's DF power with it.
Explain what plotholes this would create? Because I can't see any…
BB searches for the fruit he claims is the strongest for TWENTY YEARS meaning he had to know if it could steal powers. IF he didn't know that it could steal powers then BB is the biggest idiot in the world, based on his own boasting of being the strongest after eating Yami fruit. He got his ass whooped by Magellan, WB and Sengoku proving that he is an idiot, which of course he isn't.
If stealing fruits is power of Yami. HE JUST HAD TO KNOW IT before he ate it, there is just no other way.
How could he know this? DF book that he was talking about or he learned it through the word on mouth but WORLD GOVERNMENT would definitely know the rumor. Unless they are total moron's, they would figure out that a guy with this particular fruit brings in Ace to start the war with his former Captain and THE strongest man in the world. Do you think it would not occur to anyone that he wants to steal WB's fruit?This is why I said that it will be a disappointment if it isn't Cerberus fruit.

Alright, I'll look over at the other post for this Cerberus Theory, I wish you actually would just SHOVE a link in my face so I won't have to spend time going through unfamiliar ground searching… You know, a write-up of the whole work would be best. For instance, if you ever looked at my Perona stuff, I actually had a thesis post that had the whole argument in it, if I had to rewrite it or whatever, I would, but often, I could just link someone there... It's also on my signature, or an easy place to find/ locate. You should spend the time and prepare your argument so that you can "have" the links somewhere and just use them for a quick reference rather than thinking off of a memory or whatever.
Like I said before, this Cerberus Theory is something I wouldn't even place any "time" into, so I don't know the contents of it except the few segments where people were complaining about "they" meaning two Blackbeards that I came across in a chapter discussion thread-- obviously, correcting their incorrect read of that phrase.
I'll check the other guy's work, since you suggest he has a "full one" compared to the stuff I saw on yours. I'll reply later...
PS, Why was the nakama thread closed?

for the 3 scars on shanks' face, it could just as well have been so that blackbeard killed a bear and used the bears claws to make the scar because he didn't have a weapon.
It is just as likely as the Cerberus theory, actually, everything is as likely as that theory which actually started as a joke
