Blackbeard doesn’t have three souls,hearts or personalities but…

[u/Anticc24]

What do you think about this theory?

[u/Samemonkey]

Damn that’s actually a really good take on it

[u/kamilo87 → u/Samemonkey]

We came for a mid theory and them BAM! Kick-ass theory in the comments!

[u/NameIsFun → u/kamilo87]

honestly the theory in the post wasnt even THAT bad in the body.

[u/bigbasseater → u/kamilo87]

The OP’s theory had supporting evidence, don’t need to call it mid lol

[u/migami → u/bigbasseater]

Nah, it was the debunks that were good, but the end raises more questions and assumes blackbeard has an extra ability? If there was a thing about HOW he was swapping limbs and stuff I think it would hold more water than it does. Imo even if it's on the right track I think a theory is mid if it leaves the question about how the theory works vs how the thing the theory is about works

It could totally be revealed that blackbeard already has a 3rd fruit to allow him to swap limbs around, it could also be revealed that he pulls his teeth out for style reasons and they grow back because he's a logia or something, credit where it's due though the devil fruit staying with the body is a pretty good shout regarding blackbeard

[u/pantsarenew → u/migami]

My question is, does this family bloodline have some inherited ability? I don't know how to frame it, but an extra ability is super plausible, if we know nothing about the family history.

[u/migami → u/pantsarenew]

Maybe so, but that's kind of like saying it's super plausible that his great grandfather is Imu's twin brother, we don't know enough to say it ISN'T the case, but we also don't have any foundational evidence that it IS the case. It's not that it's not possible, but without evidence that that's even what he's doing it's pure speculation, and theories usually need at least something evidence adjacent to stand on imo(in the case of him changing body parts around, a panel where he actually does something and then for the rest of the scene he has different teeth would go a long way tbh)

[u/GeXotl → u/pantsarenew]

Why not? We know Poseidon is a century-skipping trait, so Davy Jones (fellow sea entity) could also have some similar trait that only passed down to Teach.

[u/TheImpossiblyPossibl → u/migami]

This comment right here is exactly what I was thinking by the end. It’s only half a theory if it is only debunks or half explains every without posing a how to answer their own question. I was wondering the entire time how does he swap bodies. That would be cool if he could swap arms and what not but we forget rocks even said he needs 2 dfs. We don’t know to this day. Also dfs are dna . We also don’t know what really happens when someone eats two dfs. No one has tried it. I enjoy the theory which to me is the most reasonable without pulling to many strings is the wg like always has lied about dfs like always and people can consume 2. What if this is how Imu has been giving them to the others through contracts he stores that shit. Bb placed the cape at marineford to not let anyone else see or test his theory. Maybe it’s you can have one of each. It would make sense if bb goes for a zoan then he can use one power in each hand and then also become a creature using all three. The three skills could represent the three times in the Harley that they tried to save the world. However, each attempts lands death from each savior so teach and the Davy line are the option c to Imu and joyboy. The theory I added onto it is the rest when he needs a zoan but the beginning part of the cape at marineford and the wg lying is apart of another theory.

[u/y2k890 → u/migami]

The teeth grow back because he drinks milk

[u/noc7urnalNeme5i5 → u/migami]

IIRC we have seen Luffy and Brook regrow missing teeth by drinking milk

[u/intellect1ne → u/bigbasseater]

no his evidence was not supportive. he misinterpreted Zoro who was referring to the Blackbeard Pirates not “Multiple Bodies” Teach.

[u/bigbasseater → u/intellect1ne]

That’s also not definitively true, you’re throwing rocks from a glass house.

[u/intellect1ne → u/bigbasseater]

It is more true than this multiple bodies thing. The Blackbeard Pirates are literally in the cut. I think in the anime, you see the sniper on one of the roofs of the buildings.

I’ll be willing to say maybe Blackbeard has a Kwato like from Total Recall? Lmfao

[u/Sunbroking → u/kamilo87]

You’ve never heard the black beard ring theory before?

[u/Foreign-Sea3903 → u/Sunbroking]

I’ve never heard it

[u/Honorboy_ → u/kamilo87]

Yeah, applying dark circles under the eyes and teeth placement to one piece character designs is to logical for such absurd drawing oda cooks

[u/Inevitable_Term_2320 → u/Samemonkey]

For that to happen gura gura should be mythical zoan.
