Hello, this is KENTA! Have you ever wondered why Blackbeard Teach, a very popular character in One Piece, is able to eat multiple devil fruits? In Japan, there are many theories as to why Blackbeard can eat more than one devil fruit, but I have come up with a new theory from a different angle that is not often mentioned. Today, I would like to explore the secret of this theory. I will explain it in a way that is easy for readers to understand, so please enjoy it until the end!
What is Blackbeard’s “deformity”?
First, let’s talk about the reason why Blackbeard can eat more than one devil fruit. According to my new theory, it is because of the “deformity” that exists in Blackbeard’s body. This “deformity” is because something special resides in Blackbeard’s body, as Marco said in the work.
Blackbeard is a character who never takes off his hat, and we believe that the secret is hidden in this hat. I believe that another face, or “human face,” exists on his head. Because of this deformity, he may have been able to obtain the power of two demons.
Demon Power in the Soul
In the One Piece world, demon power resides in the soul. And usually, only one demon power can reside in one soul. Bruno of CP9, the intelligence agency of the world government, also stated that it is impossible to have the power of two demons. However, Blackbeard is different.
It is thought that there is another soul residing in Blackbeard’s body. It is the soul of his mother. Based on the setting of Blackbeard’s mother in One Piece Magazine, it is hypothesized that her soul may have attached itself to Blackbeard and given him special powers.
Curses and Variant Forms
The reason why Blackbeard has this deformity is because of a “curse. A curse is a phenomenon in which a soul attaches itself to something and brings disaster. In Blackbeard’s case, his mother’s soul is attached to him, and this is the cause of his deformity.
The description in the work suggests that there is another being in his body, as seen in the line where Luffy and Zoro say, “Blackbeard is not alone, it seems as if there are more than two of him. This indicates that Blackbeard’s body structure is different from that of an ordinary human being.
Similarities with Vander Deken
Furthermore, Blackbeard’s deformity is similar to that of Vander Decken. Vander Decken also has a curse that is passed down from generation to generation, which suggests a connection between demonic powers and curses. Just as Vander Deken’s family is cursed, Blackbeard also inherits his mother’s curse.
Vander Deken’s distinctive four legs are not a race trait as a catfish, but a variant caused by the curse. Similarly, the human face that appeared on the back of Blackbeard’s head can also be explained as part of the curse.
Blackbeard’s symbols and his mother’s grudge
The symbol of Blackbeard’s pirates, with its three skulls and four bones, is not merely a design, but could represent his mother’s curse. The flower (aster) stuck in Blackbeard’s hat also suggests the presence of his mother. The aster is a member of the chrysanthemum family and is known as a flower dedicated to the dead.
Blackbeard’s hat is designed with a bandana and orange hair representing his mother. It is speculated that the name of Blackbeard’s mother is “Marshall D. Aster”. This name is derived from his symbols and the design of his hat.
Finally
How was it? We have provided a new perspective on why Blackbeard is able to eat multiple devil fruits. There are still many mysteries hidden in the world of One Piece. Let’s continue to unravel these mysteries together!
