THIS Is How He Did It

Probably one of the biggest secrets of the entire story is how Blackbeard took Whitebeard’s power. On first thought Blackbeard ate his stomach or part of it but lets chill on the cannibalism for now. There are a few things that we have to assume first.

It is known eating 2 fruits kills the user Blackbeard must’ve known about it and knew he’d survive anyway. His hobby is history i believe he’s occupying the island where Xebec united the Rocks Pirates a Xebec is a type of ship with 3 masts etc Blackbeard has the theme of threes one of them is having 2 sisters which is stated in a magazine so it could be wrong on first thought he killed his sisters and took their stomachs but lets chill on the kinslaying. I think there’s a very good indication maybe confirmation of how Blackbeard took Whitebeard’s power.

This is a cover page of one of the chapters during the raid. It’s tied to the vivrecard that revealed Blackbeard’s animal association is hippo. Hippos have a 3 chambered stomach. This explains the abnormal shape of his torso and Marcos comment on his body. I wondered a while ago why BB didnt get muscular till now perhaps he already is in shape and we just cant tell or he cant get in shape.

Now obviously BB has one more fruit to go and no its not the Cerberus or any other WANO CLASS THEORY .It’s something he has not acquired yet and there are several options for it.

It’s not Marco’s phoenix cuz BB already beat him and didn’t take his fruit it’d be weird if BB fights Marco all over again and takes fruit its also repetitive for the third BB fruit to be taken from the Whitebeard Pirates. It’s not Kaido’s dragon cuz its repetitive to take a Yonko’s fruit all over again. Its safe to assume 3 things about BB’s final fruit. It’s gonna be a zoan, it’s gonna be the strongest of its class and he has not acquired it yet.

There’s speculation that Oda modelled Shanks after Týr the son of Odin and Thor’s older brother. Týr lost a hand to a gigantic black archwolf called Fenrir Loki’s first born and the one to kill Odin in Ragnarök. But i dont think its Fenrir.

This is the comment section of chapter 1044 on reddit

Besides the hearts being the reason for fruit absorption i think this comment indicates strongly at what BB’s fruit gonna be. I think its gonna be the Tako Tako No Mi, Model something. Its not gonna Cthulhu or Dagon but something made up by Oda i think it will look like Cthulhu it will give BB flight and the durability he lacks and probably much more. I think there’s gonna be a lot of lore behind it perhaps this fruit is the sea devil that buggy said all fruits came from.
