ONE-PIECE
Mar 4, 2025
Hello, I’m KENTA, Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach, is one of the greatest rivals of the protagonist, Luffy, in One Piece. His abilities and true identity are surrounded by many mysteries, and numerous fan theories have been proposed. In this post, I’ll highlight some of the most noteworthy theories. Let’s dive into the mystery of Blackbeard together!
1. The Giant Octopus Theory: Is Blackbeard a “Giant Octopus”? The first theory we’ll look at is the unique idea that Blackbeard could be a “giant octopus.” Octopuses have three hearts, eight arms, and, in some species, can stay awake for long periods. Based on these characteristics, there is a theory that Blackbeard might be a “giant octopus” or a “half-octopus.”
1.1 Reasoning from the Octopus’s Characteristics
The three hearts and eight arms of an octopus are said to resemble Blackbeard’s features. In the story, Buggy mentions that Blackbeard never sleeps, and the three skulls on Blackbeard’s Jolly Roger could symbolize the three hearts. Some fans also suggest that Blackbeard’s ability to hold multiple Devil Fruits might be linked to the number of hearts an octopus has.
1.2 Contradictions of the Octopus Theory
However, there are significant flaws in this theory. If Blackbeard were truly a “giant octopus,” his physical features should be more apparent, but such depictions do not appear in the story.
