Today, let’s embark on a wild voyage into the perplexing world of Blackbeard’s devil fruit—or lack thereof. Theories are swirling like a maelstrom, and I’ve got my sea legs on to navigate this sea of confusion.
Now, some folks seem to believe that Blackbeard chomped down on some mythical zoan, granting him the ability to feast on multiple devil fruits.
Like eating a devil fruit that grants you the ability to eat more devil fruit …
If that were the case, wouldn’t he only be able to unleash the fruity mayhem in his “mythical zoan form“?
Blackbeard’s body has been called weirder than a sea cucumber in a tuxedo since he was a sprout.
Now, dear reader, I hear your skepticism. “But Marco can only use his mythical powers in zoan form, right?” Wrong! He’s healing in human form, just like our rubbery friend Luffy staying stretchy.
We’ve seen the likes of Marco pulling off healing moves in human form and Luffy stretching his rubbery self without transforming into a hybrid or full zoan mode.
Oh, and Yamato? Ice powers in human form. That’s right, no zoan shenanigans necessary.
And don’t even get me started on Orochi or the big fish—we’ve seen them flex their mythical muscles in base form.
They’re breaking all the mythical zoan rules, and we’re just here for the ride.
But let’s shiver our timbers a bit more.
The real head-scratcher isn’t about Blackbeard devouring multiple fruits.
Nay, it’s a tantalizing theory that our captain of chaos might be housing not one, not two, but three personalities or entities in his kooky vessel of a body.
How’s that for a plot twist?
Evidence, you say? Well, look no further than the peculiar design choices.
Three skulls on the Jolly Roger, three braids on the beard, three guns on the hip—Blackbeard’s rocking the number three like it’s going out of style.
And don’t even get me started on the dental drama, with three different patterns of missing teeth.
Someone get this man a dentist, or three.
Sure, some argue that his weird body structure might explain snagging Whitebeard’s devil fruit.
Marco himself mentioned it, throwing the whole “mythical zoan” theory into Davy Jones’ locker.
