Speculations All Of The Blackbeard Captains Are Awakened. In Fact, It’s The Crew’s Theme.

[Albino 👑]

Eh idk
As far as we know none of the Whitebeard pirates were awakened and its even less likely that the Blackbeard pirates are the type

The bbp imo view devil fruits as instant power ups that they don’t need to really train hard to master. The rhp being all about hard work and dedication while the bbp being all about instant gratification and cheating the game

Tho out of bb and his commanders the ones most likely to have awakenings imo are Kuzan and unironically laffitte

• Kuzan because ex admiral and most likely to betray for the good
• Laffitte because he’s a zoan. Zoans being the easiest to awaken + he needs a power up like the rest of the bbp

 

[Thaidakar]

You ain‘t ready for HIM

I can't imagine Nami taking on Lafitte. Even if she were trained by Roger, Garp, Rayleigh, Mihawk, Whitebeard, Kaido and Meme for 20 consecutive years each.
Same for usop, who wouldn't even be Arlong Park Luffy level by then.

I'm really curious how those two will beat their opponents. I hope both just do not fight.

(Like what’s the awakening for an island fruit anyways)

Basic fruit: you become the island; your limbs are the streets, your head is the building, etc. It's your anatomy, stretched over the entire island.

Awakened fruit: you can shuffle around anything on the island, which is also inside your body. You can move all the buildings on top of that mountain over there, and the entire mass is now your fist, while your only weakness is reduced to the size of a sand grain, and hidden at the lowest and hardest to reach point of the island.

BBP not having awakenings wouldn't make them different from BMP or Beast Pirates or wbp

They need awakenings
Teach knows how to force awakenings or eat 2 dfs

That’s not like any other paramecia awakening though which is about you being able to implement your fruits main ability to other things around you.

That's because this fruit doesn't work like other paramecias to begin with.
With the Gomu Gomu, you are rubber.
With the Shima Shima, you are the island.
You can awaken the Gomu and make the island rubbery.
But if you awaken the Shima, you can't make the island island. You re-create it.

 

[SkySanji]

The crew's theme is just to be the evil version of the WBP, they're the only two crews to have both a logia and mythical zoan as underlings.

 

[DonWick]

That would be fire

 

[Jailer]

Don't want to assume they are awakened until we see it. For now they aren't especially those who got their df's post timeskip, think they need more experience before awakening their powers @EmperorKinyagi

Edit: another note maybe Blackbeard's yami gravity with more mastery can draw the inner df of his crew to awaken but I am not sure Oda will go down that route

Yeah obvsly Shiryu wouldn’t awaken his fruit naturally after like a month.

The Yami drawing out awakenings could work as a method, but I think Teach knows all manner of DF tomfoolery so it may not even be related

 

[Monkey D Theories]

I doubt it

Of the supernova, only 3 got awakening
Of the shichibukai, only Doffy was awakened(Law got it after he lost his title)
Of the yonko, only Luffy and maybe Teach has it
Of the yonko commanders, only Kata has shown it

All of the BBP cannot be awakened. Awakening is rare. Not even Kaido and BM had it.

My guess is only Teach, Shiryu, and Kuzan have it

 

[Shiroyru]

Awakening is when your mind and body are in sync. Teach probably just deliberately gave his crewmates DFs which lined up well with their mentality so that they could Awaken quickly

 

[Sir Yasheen]

It would just feel like a forced narrative imo. Shiryu was hyped prior to gaining a fruit, if his main strength now comes from awakening the invisibility fruit it would raise the question, why even hype ID Shiryu in the first place.

I feel like the only awakened BBP will be Kuzan.

 

[Jija]

To force zoan awakening you either need do be strong enough to surpass the will of the zoan or use some doping like rumble ball to bring inner animal. World goverment probably use second way considering that even one ship doctor(chopper is very talented but still) was able to do that. Caesar was able to create artifical zoan's and upgrade chopper's rumble. Vegapunk probably also created something like that.

But when speaking about paramecia and logia is there any cheap trick to easily awaken fruit? So far only training your mastery over devil fruit and unlocking new abilities allow paramecia to be awakened, and i doubt for logia it is different. But considering that shiryu is a strong fighter he might be quickly unlock all abilities of his fruit. So far we only saw weakling absalom using it.

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

Possible, but it would be absurd if Shiryu is able of awakening the Suke Suke no mi in a matter of weeks or months after having its power transfered to him, when Absalom didn't awaken it after years of actively using it.

Just goes to show their absurd skill.

It's going to be a package deal like with King. He has a "main" trait/ability (for King that's his Lunarian gimmick, specifically his absurd durability, and for Shiryu his invisibility fruit), but he's pretty well rounded outside of that.
King was powerful, fast, had good Armament Haki, flight, etc. on top of his Lunarian abilities.

 

[MonsterKaido]

If oda wants he will give all BBPs awakening. It's as simple as that.

 

[ArturCantSpeakJapanese]

If you look at each of the post time skip Yonko crews, there’s a very clear theme to them in terms of the abilities of the crew members.

Beast Pirates - all Zoan users

Big Mom Pirates - all Paramecia users

Red Hair Pirates - no devil fruit users, ultimate haki based crew

Blackbeard Pirates - all devil fruit users, ultimate devil fruit based crew

Since the BBP are an inverse parallel to RHP who are portrayed as the ultimate haki based crew, the BBP will be the ultimate devil fruit based crew. And to fulfill this theme, most if not all of the titanic captains will be awakened.

A lot of people were confused by Big Mom, Kaido, and the beast pirates not having awakenings when someone like Doflamingo does.

The reason is because awakening as a common theme is being saved for a different crew. Blackbeard is going to have some way to force awakenings.

This also explains a lot of the seemingly disappointing showings from the BBP (ex - Shiryu will be able to go intangible M Bison style via awakening like how @nik87 predicts).

probably, yeah. this would be a motivation for why so many of his crew's devil fruits are so extremely on the nose and almost redundant. giant fruit for the giant guy, strong fruit for the strong guy, drinking fruit for the drinking guy etc. "awakening is when the mind and body catches up with the devil fruit."

blackbeard is cultivating a whole crew of Kakus obsessed with giraffes with giraffe dfs

Do the straw hats have any such theme?

Also the WBP when they were around.

the straw hats will be themed like rocks, where theyre a wide variety of people and a bunch of them have coc. im pretty confident all the east blue crew will have coc by the final conflicts
