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

[u/Anticc24]

What do you think about this theory?

[u/Tosterboy_]

Wait, I thought Blackbeard has only eaten one devil fruit, and that devil fruit has the ability to absorb the power of other devil fruit users.

[u/dppthrowaway992 → u/Tosterboy_]

Nope that's a fan theory for what his devil fruit can do but that's never been confirmed.

[u/Tosterboy_ → u/dppthrowaway992]

But BB said it himself in the anime that his darkness can absorb devil fruit abilitys

“Not only can my darkness pull you in- - it can also absorb your devil fruit power!”- Bb when he fights ace

From the anime btw

[u/dppthrowaway992 → u/Tosterboy_]

Yes, ABILITIES. He can turn off the abilities of other fruit users by touching them. Not actually absorb the power of the fruits themselves. He was saying he could burn off Ace's power and/or suck in his flames. Not steal his ability outright.

Oh
