We're happy to take any loony toon idea

This guy ain't right

There's something weird about him

We know Blackbeard = Darkness/Quake
We know Burgess = Strong
We know Auger = Warp
We know Doc Q = Disease/Pheromones
We know Stronger = Pegasus
We know Sanjuan = Inflation/Bloating
We know Vasco = Booze
We know Devon = Nine-Tail
We know Shiryu = Clear
We know Kuzan = Ice

The only one of these fkers whose ability isn't explicitly stated is Laffitte

The mystery is his swag
That swagger bothers me

The dude has been in Blackbeard's crew since the very beginning acting like he's too cool for everybody

Tell me that ain't some shit

LAFFITTE WAS THE ONLY PERSON ON BLACKBEARD'S ORIGINAL CREW WHO DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIGHT ACE
- Auger took shots at Ace immediately, then Burgess threw a building at him, and then Blackbeard, Doc Q, Burgess, and Stronger all got hit by the blast. The only one to escape it was Laffitte. In other words, Laffitte was the only one who implicitly knew the Captain's orders and followed through on them, but not only that he was the only one fast enough to avoid the attack Ace made.

I think that Lafitte has a Siren-model fruit.

Laffite and the Alluring Sirens
Probably the most mysterious and in turn the most intriguing member of the Blackbeard Pirates, Laffite seems to be heavily inspired by the Sirens. In Greek mythology, Sirens (not to be confused with Harpies or Mermaids) are described as humanlike beings with “alluring voices” which would “hypnotize” the sailors into jumping overboard. This matches the ability Laffite demonstrated when he hypnotized a bunch of Marines to open the Gates of Justice for the Blackbeard Pirates to crash Marineford.



The appearance of the Sirens wasn’t originally described in their first mention (Homer’s Odyssey), but the first visual description has them appear as “part woman and part bird”. The exact ratio of woman to bird varies, from just birds with women’s heads to something like a human with bird feet and bird wings; something like what Laffite looked like during his assault on Whitebeard....



And lastly, in Christianity, the word for “Sirens” is translated as an “Owl”; a bird which is famous for how quiet it is when flying. Laffite is noted to be completely silent when infiltrating the Marijoas, undetected by even the likes of Sengoku and Mihawk, the latter of which is known as “Hawk-Eyes”.

It showcased Magellan's authority in Impel Down

Blackbeard puts his crew in high risk situations for high rewards

How about Hypnos?



Hypnos has been portrayed without many of his special features and only the wings on many occasions.



In Greek mythology, Hypnos (/ˈhɪpnɒs/; Ancient Greek: Ὕπνος, 'sleep'), also spelled Hypnus, is the personification of sleep; the Roman equivalent is known as Somnus. His name is the origin of the word hypnosis.

All this hype and character development to be Brook's victim.
