How Blackbeard got the wobbly fruit from Whitebeard.

Hello! I am KENTA, a Japanese who loves manga.
Let’s discuss it right away. Suddenly, remember this scene?
This is the scene where Blackbeard takes the wobbly fruit from Whitebeard.
Originally, when a person with the ability dies, the devil fruit reappears somewhere in the world.
However, Blackbeard was able to obtain Whitebeard’s wobbly fruit on the spot at this time.
Is it Blackbeard’s special ability? No, it is not.
I realized the amazing mechanism of the devil’s fruit. Let me introduce it in detail.

The model of devil’s fruit is a forbidden fruit

First of all, devil’s fruits are shaped like various fruits.
As you can see, there are melons, bananas, pineapples, and lots of them.
But only the popular fruit, the devil’s fruit [in the shape of an apple], is missing.
Actually, this is very important.
I think the model for the devil’s fruit is [the forbidden fruit of the Old Testament], which is the point of this discussion.

Do you remember what the story of the forbidden fruit is about?
It is the story of Adam and Eve who eat the [forbidden fruit], a fruit they are not supposed to eat, at the behest of the serpent.

There is also an Adam’s tree and an Eve tree in one piece.

What are the hidden meanings of all the symbols?

Have you ever paid attention to the marks that appear in the world of One Piece? The number of crosses that appear in the world of One Piece is extraordinary! There are many crosses besides Mihawk, and Zoro was crucified after the battle with King. If you go back, Zoro’s first appearance is also a cross. Sister of Whiskey Peak. Oden and Ace’s technique. Ooze, Moriah, Caribou, Corribou, etc. etc. Even the SBS-like one in the first volume went out of its way to add that the pirate flag crosses in a crisscrossing pattern. I’ve been paying attention to crosses like that for quite a while. You know, like this one and this one. A cross plus a circle. It looks like it represents the door or the sun in episode 266, and there’s even a cross casually written on it. Anyway, you can see a lot of crosses and circles in this work in scenes that seem to represent the sun. So I wondered if this cross plus circle had something to do with the sun, and when I looked it up, I found out that it is called the sun cross. Apparently the sun cross has been interpreted as a symbol of the sun since ancient times.

What did Blackbeard do to Whitebeard by putting a cloth over him?

When a person with abilities dies, the devil’s fruit reappears somewhere in the world.
However, Blackbeard was able to obtain Whitebeard’s wobbly fruit on the spot at this time.
In fact, Blackbeard’s fellow Shiryuu also took the Sukesuke no Nuts from Absalom.
This shows that Blackbeard is not the only one absorbing abilities, but that he is defeating those with abilities and creating the devil fruit.
I will tell you from a very simple conclusion.
The way for Blackbeard to take away the ability of the devil’s fruit is [to place an apple near the moment of the ability holder’s death].

Actually, there was also foreshadowing in the past. This scene in Punk Hazard.
This is an exchange between Caesar Crown and his pet Smiley.

Smiley is a [sara sara fruit model ahorotl].
Caesar said to Smiley, [Thanks Smiley, see you again], and Smiley died.
At that moment, an apple nearby turns into [a devil fruit].

I know many people are confused because of all the technology that has come out around here, such as [populated demon fruit], but I think this is simply a scene where a person with the ability died and their demon fruit occurred in the world again.
[If there is an apple nearby at the moment the person with the ability loses his/her life, the soul of the devil fruit will reside in that apple].
This makes it all make sense.

The scene I reported at the beginning of the article, where Blackbeard finishes off Whitebeard, Blackbeard’s pirates [Doc Q] were nearby with an apple.
Looking back, [Doc Q] always carries an apple with him, doesn’t he?

There is actually another scene where Blackbeard’s pirates tried to take away his ability.
This is Burgess in Dress Rosa.
In the Dress Rosa Arc, before he joins the gladiatorial tournament to obtain the “Mera Mera no Mi”, Burgess says, “I will kill Luffy and take the Gomu Gomu no Mi”.
From this line by Burgess, the following two things are confirmed.

1. when you take away the ability, you need to kill the person with the ability.
2. if you know the method, anyone can do it except Blackbeard.

It’s consistent with the method of keeping the apple close and watching it die.

Again, look at Burgess at this time.
As soon as I started aiming at Luffy, I started carrying a bag that I don’t always carry.
That’s right. I think it has apples in it.

The fruit in which the devil’s fruit dwells is limited to apples.

My guess is that the fruit in which the soul of the devil’s fruit dwells is limited to apples.
When a person with the ability dies, it basically dwells in any of the fruits in the world, but if there is an apple nearby, it will dwell in it.
On the other hand, if the ability is not transferred to a nearby apple, then [Smiley’s scene] would be strange, which paradoxically backs up the idea.

So Blackbeard hid it with cloth so that other pirates would not know about it, but how could he have noticed this method?
This is also my guess, but I think he noticed it by accident.
I think the guy who always has the apple with him was lucky enough to notice that the apple turned into devil’s fruit when he defeated the psychic because he was with him.

Blackbeard’s pirates were able to gain strong power because they were able to notice the [mysterious mechanism] of the devil fruit, weren’t they?
