word of advice : Contains mollycoddler for One Piece chapter # 1138.For over a 10 , one of the giving questions inOne Piecehas been how Blackbeard stole Whitebeard ’s Tremor - Tremor Fruit while still possess his original Dark - Dark Fruit . People only being able to eat one Devil Fruit at a time was one of the strict rules of the background , and Blackbeard so casually break it has sparked countless public debate over possible explanation , with some theory course exact off more than others .

Of all the theories for how Blackbeard could have multiple Devil fruit , one of the biggest has been that he ’s in secret eaten a hypothetical Cerberus Devil Fruit . The idea is that a Cerberus would have three stomach , thus permit Blackbeard dodge the rule , and the Blackbeard Pirates ’ Jolly Roger having three skull was what most people cited as foreshadowing for that estimation . That being said , One Piecechapter # 1138has effectively stamp out the theory of Blackbeard get a Cerberus Devil Fruit with a undivided dialog box , although to be middling , the theory never had much weighting to begin with .

How The One Piece Manga Killed One Of The Biggest Blackbeard Theories

One Of The Biggest Blackbeard Theories Is Officially Dead

InOne Piecechapter # 1138,Figarland Shamrock of the Holy Knightsdecided to down Loki for his take over refusal to join the Holy Knights , but rather than do the deed himself , he has his sword transform into a giant , three - headed dog that is , naturally , called Cerberus . The obvious implication is that Shamrock ’s blade is a rare pulseless object given the top executive of a Devil Fruit , specifically the Cerberus Devil Fruit , and because of that , One Piecehas formally kill the theory that Blackbeard has a Cerberus Devil Fruit by giving that might to Figarland Shamrock ’s sword .

thing might not be so cut - and - dry out , however . Much like the Five Elders , Shamrock ’s sword was n’t specifically noted to be a Devil Fruit substance abuser , despite having the same framing typically used for those reveals , so Shamrock ’s brand could have been infuse with power from Imu as opposed to a Devil Fruit . Even if that were the case , though , two disjoined characters having Cerberus - based power would be undeniably redundant , soFigarland Shamrock ’s Cerberus sword , whether it ’s a Devil Fruit or something else , kill the idea of Blackbeard having a Cerberus Devil Fruit simply by existing .

One Piece’s Biggest Blackbeard Theory Never Made Sense

Why Blackbeard Having A Cerberus Devil Fruit Never Would Have Worked

WhileOne Piecechapter # 1138 effectively belt down the theory of Blackbeard bear a Cerberus Devil Fruit , the theory never actually made much sense . The only explanation fall in for Blackbeard having multiple Devil fruit was Marco stating that there ’s something odd about Blackbeard ’s body , but Zoans do n’t typically switch the user ’s body when not actively in use , something Marco would be intimate good than anyone . Because of that , the most logical account for Blackbeard ’s power to have multiple Devil Fruits is that it stanch from his biology , not a Devil Fruit , and that was gentle enough to grasp from twenty-four hours one .

Baron Tamago ’s Egg - Egg Fruit is a Zoan that seems to be permanently active , but it ’s potential a exceptional case like how Katakuri ’s Mochi - Mochi Fruit is a special Paramecia with properties of a Logia .

That estimation is further supported by some negotiation in the Egghead spark . When Saint Saturn was face up by the Blackbeard Pirates , Saint Saturn sound out that Blackbeard ’s lineage was exceptional , and while that was n’t elaborated on , that intend thatOne Piece ’s Egghead arc has all but state that Blackbeard ’s power to use multiple Devil Fruits comes from some unequalled lineage of his . The exact details of Blackbeard ’s powers will hopefully be let out soon , but whatever the cause , One Piecechapter # 1138 still create as well-defined a case as any for what they are n’t .
