Questions & Mysteries Its crazy we never see Teach with bandages

#22
I'm not sure why everybody thinks he's 100% getting a 3rd fruit.

Isn't that purely speculation?
I've always assumed he would. I see no see reason why Oda would reveal his ability to steal and have multiple DF only to cap him at two.

I think Teach has, in his view, the strongest Logia, the clear cut strongest Paramecia, and I think soon he will come into possession of the strongest Zoan available.

I think that Zonan type is in the current possesion of Imu. I believe Teach will sneak into his palace, defeat him and steal his fruit.

Alternatively, I see Teach going after Dragon because he has a special Zoan DF like a Thunderbird or whatever.

Does Teach have any confirmed regeneration abilities that allow him to heal wounds?

If not, him not having any bandages/first aid on his body might be due to artstyle constraints. No room for bandages on an all black coat.
There is no confirmed ability, no. But several people, myself included, belive his "unusual" body is being a genetic chimera, people who have more then one strain of DNA in their body, usually from an absorbed twin.

The "blackbeard-absorbed-his-twin" theory is pretty popular, but after Saturn confirmed he had a "special" heritage, it makes me think there might be something going on there that could be responsible for BB's "unique body."

At the very least, I think his heritage will be something much more special than just being a buccaneer.

And come to think of it, it doesn't even make sense. Saturn said Kuma was the last of the Buccaneers, and Saturn is also aware of Blackbeard's special lineage, so if he knew he was a Buccaneer then he wouldn't have implied that Kuma was the only Buccaneer that survived (that he knows of).

Yeah, people just jumped to that conclusion because it happened to be a heritage introduced this arc. An endgame villain should have something more unique for his special bloodline.

Might be another moon related race similar to the Lunarians, but instead of amped durability and amped speed he gets amped endurance and also doesn't need to sleep

Huh. This is actually a pretty good observation. I'd have to go through the entire manga to check if it's true or not, but I can't think of a time when Blackbeard was all bandaged up. It's a fair point, given all the damage he's taken.

I mean, it MIGHT just be as simple as Oda not wanting a big future villain to look weak, by needing to heal. It might just be to hype him up and that's it.

Or it might just tie into his Devil Fruit. If his "Darkness Fruit" is actually some sort of "Black Hole Fruit", then maybe he's just "absorbing" the damage. Letting it go "through" him instead of allowing it to affect his physical body. His Darkness Fruit isn't a normal Logia (and may in fact be another Secret God Fruit like Luffy's), and he can't go intangible or turn into shadows himself. But, maybe he can "store" the attack inside of his body so that it doesn't actually hurt him? Like Kirby eating a enemy's attack to gain it's power. Sorta?




But, you know what? Maybe it's both simpler and more complex than we've been thinking. So, get ready for a crazy, baseless theory!

What if Blackbeard's body isn't actually "real"? What if it's a illusion?

What if Blackbeard has actually been creating Shadow Clones to do his fighting for him this entire time? Yes, just like Naruto. Only probably slightly different than that. The rules are likely slightly different.

There's been a lot of theories about Blackbeard having multiple personalities. A Coward, a Conniver, and a Carouser. But, what if they aren't exactly different personalities? What if they're Shadow Clones that have all gained slightly different personalities from their slightly different experiences? Sort of like that filler episode when Naruto's Shadow Clones mutinied against him while they were stuck on a boat. (Sure, that turned out to be a dream, but forget about that.)
https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Revenge_of_the_Shadow_Clones

That might explain the different personalities. And even "art errors" like Blackbeard having different amounts of teeth at different times. They're all actually different people.

And it might explain how Blackbeard is able to get to so many different places so quickly. He's able to go from Amazon Lily to attack Boa Hancock, ALL the way over to Wiener Island to attack Law, all in what seems like a few weeks, max. Halfway around the world, in a few weeks. So maybe Blackbeard ISN'T actually travelling that fast. Maybe he's just sending different Shadow Clones to different places at the same time. On Amazon Lily, Blackbeard is seen with Vasco Shot and Caterina Devon (c1059). But, on Weiner Island, he's with Doc Q, Van Augur, and Burgess (c1063). So, maybe he sent a different Shadow Clone with two different groups.

And it might even explain why he doesn't take damage like a normal person. Because the person taking damage isn't actually a "person" at all, but someone made out of shadows. Blackbeard might still feel the pain the wound would cause, but since the Shadow Clone is the one who took the damage, it doesn't actually leave a permanent wound. They just don't puff away after taking damage like Naruto's Shadow Clones do. And it's possible that the reason why Blackbeard is so sensitive to pain is that he's basically feeling the pain of TWO people at the same time, anytime he takes damage. His physical body's pain, and the pain of the Shadow Clone, both at the same time.

It is odd that Blackbeard's gone THIS long without using it in battle. There's plently of times this kind of ability would have been useful. But, Blackbeard is a schemer. And a schemer always likes to have a ability hidden away for a emergency. It's possible that Blackbeard just doesn't want anyone to know about this particular ability of his yet. So he's keeping it a secret, so he can use it as a trump card later.

Now, I can't be sure this makes total sense. There might be stuff in the manga that completely disproves this. But, I do feel like it works better than it should. And while this wouldn't explain EVERYTHING about Blackbeard, it would explain a few things.

Venom Teach?!


:snoopy::crazwhat::hohoho:


This adds fuel to Yami being a Zoan too. It was called the most evil fruit by Sengoku or someone else too, Marco? I wanna say it was Sengoku?

But yeah, Blackbeard never having bandages is CRAZY, although he has never truly lost a battle and gained any severe injuries nor scars....man is a MENACE! The most terrifying and dangerous enemy is often the one you least expect!

Him being inhabited by a parasitic being (considering we have a demon king in Film Red and Gorosei being literal demons by the looks of it, not to mention Stussy being a succubus with no explanation and Impel Down staff having wings) is really not far fetched anymore especially.

A parasitic ability from his race/special body would be NUTS! What if this could be linked to why Zoans have such insane regeneration and thus the Gorosei too somehow? The Gorosei and Lucci have Black Auras for their awakenings too?

Oda really needs to explain this shit already but maybe we'll find out in several years lmao!
I think Imu is to the yami fruit what Nika is to the nika fruit, and that Nika exists,
Post automatically merged:

Especially because it may be the case the unawakened nika fruit acts like a paramecia and when awakened like a zoan, while the unawakened yami fruit acts like a logia and when awakened like a zoan,

I think that may be because paramecia fruits create something into the world, and come from outside of it, while logia fruits are part of the world and make more of what is there,

And I think that may be because Nika is not a part of the world but is from somewhere else, like a heavenly realm, while Imu is the god of the world,

And maybe Blackbeard will be the final villain, with Imu being defeated by Nika himself,
Post automatically merged:

Especially since Luffy isn't Joyboy, I think the person carrying 800 years on their back that will challenge the world is Joyboy, as in Nika, not Luffy,
