"After all, I am strangely colored."
The gap is too small for that and we've never seen him make any sort of move like that. Hell, we've never even seen him with knives
Maybe he has really long nails? I myself do not think that it has to do with being a D, since I believe that Whitebeard said that he was a "False" D. In that case, I am more willing to go with the chimera theory, Cerberus theory, or something similar. That three headed Jolly Roger has to stand for something, dammit!
Teach is a D, no doubt about it, but just not one of the D's that Roger was waiting for. He's driven by greed, which is uncharacteristic of most D's, which I believe is what Whitebeard was eluding to.
Whatever Teach did, there was obviously some inherit risk, as it sounds like Shiryuu himself had concerns about what would happen if Teach failed.

I don't remember, does Vegapunk have data on every single fruit?Originally Posted by Assertn
I'm sure Teach wouldn't have eaten it if it wasn't documented... unless accidentally discovering the chimera fruit triggered his drive to become the greatest pirate.

That's actually very plausible. One of the recent flashback with Blackbeard show him to be a rather humble guy. I thought it was just him acting innocent, but it would definitely fit with that theory.
Echoing what others have said so far, I think BB either ate a chimera/cerabus (sp?) fruit that allows him to have more than one ability. I don't think he has a hidden twin or anything like that inside of him because on one of the pages it showed him glowing each power in both his hands (darkness on left and earthquake on the right).
Although, it would be interesting if the reason was part of the D bloodline/linage because in that sense Luffy could always get Ace's fruit and absorb that. Fire Fist Strawhat ftw!
He's a fake "D."
I think whatever allows him to have two powers is something that has to do with his natural being rather than something that he acquired.
I also don't think he'll be a "Last Boss" type of guy. I would think that the "Last Boss" either hasn't been introduced or is somehow associated with the Government.
For all his powerfulness, that he looked like shit against Whitebeard and got scared shitless at one point makes me think he really doesn't have what it takes to be the final boss of the series.
At the moment Luffy doesn't have what it takes to take on the last boss of the series, but by the end of the series I can guarantee you he will. Just because Blackbeard doesn't currently have what it takes doesn't mean he wont have what it takes.
I dont think he is a fake D. If he is to be Luffy's arch nemesis, he better be a D.
I wouldnt look too much into Blackbeard being scared. He is a bit melodramatic. He had the same look against Ace and Luffy, yet he knew he could defeat both of them. Besides, I think Whitebeard could scare anyone shitless. Even the great admiral Akainu got his ass handed to him. The fact is, Blackbeard just obtained the power which made Whitebeard so scary. Add that to his extremely useful ability to nullify other DF users, and I dont think anyone stands a chance against him.
I think it is interesting that he doesn't nullify his new DF power when he uses darkness. I am not sure whether or not it is a conscious ability, but it seems like it lends credence to either having a third DF that allows fruits to co-exist, or that he is somehow more than one person in one body.
Didn't Shanks tell Whitebeard that the scars from Blackbeard were not the result of a surprise attack nor was Shanks screwing around. Too lazy to look it up right now to double check though.
That was slick how Blackbeards plan to absorb Whitebeards fruit could have resulted in death. I'm not sure how I feel about the chimera theory yet as far as it being possible. I honestly think it would be lame as hell but if it's true I have no doubt that Oda will write it in an enjoyable way.
I've been thinking about how the story will progress eventually and based on the past few chapters I think and I'm hoping that the series wont end with Luffy becoming the pirate king. I think he's going to carry the title for a couple of arcs before the series finishes.
Pretty much correct:
Pages 11 and 12:

I still think that a triskulled Jolly Roger and Shank's 3 cuts are more than a coincidence
The darkness doesn't passively nullify fruits. Blackbeard only nullified Whitebeard's ability while he was using that vortex move on him. After Whitebeard stabbed him and he was reeling from the pain, Whitebeard was able to land a quake attack on Blackbeard's head.

I don't think it's a fruit because the way Marco is saying it, it's as if it's something the whole crew knew / knows about him. If he had a Chimera fruit - and its abilities were known - it would have most likely been mentioned by now that he holds two fruit powers (the Gura Gura would technically be his third).
I do agree with Arch though about the 3's being some sort of foreshadow (3 scars, 3 headed jolly roger). I also find that manga panel interesting where Luffy and Zoro say "they", so there's definitely something up.
Wild theory that makes no sense, but maybe BB absorbed someone, force fed them the fruit, and is drawing on their power. Or maybe he's a hermaphrodite and his penis holds one power and his vagina the other. I guess he could be a saimese (sp?) twin and is just hiding his growth like brother under his clothes. el oh el.

Ehhh.... I'll agree that rereading that "they" part does seem a little suspicious, but my presumption was always that it implied Teach wasn't alone. In this case, it could have been referring to the other guys in Jaya that later turn out to be his crewmates. That still would make it seem like a pretty strange dialogue, though.

I always read it that way too, but it does seem strange now. Oda does seem quite good at foreshadowing things, but maybe we're just reading into it too much. Time will tell.
