THEORIES & OPINIONS

Iv’e already seen some theories regarding Lucky Roo’s powers, some of them are so original and strange that say he can control time! That’s really OP right? Well after thinking and research I’ve come up with something more basic, but works perfectly with every piece of information we have!

First of all, you all know who Lucky Roo is, one of Yonko Shanks’ most important men? Well you must know if you are reading this so I don’t think I have to explain that, forgive me for my laziness.

So, what’s the mystery?
Mystery 1: During Romance Dawn, we see one of Higuma’s men pointing a gun at Shanks’ head, then after Shanks warns him suddenly Lucky Roo appears and shoots him. Now here’s the question, how can a big man like that go there that quickly without being noticed?

Mystery 2: Despite the fact that they fought Kaido just hours before so, the Red Hair Pirates literally just appear at Marineford.

So now, before answering what his powers are, I must show you what his inspiration is:
I noticed several things in order to find it out:
His name, how quick he is, and the fact that Oda is a fan of Westerns.
Well, I think he is based on that guy:

If you don’t recognize him- then I’ll tell you this character is Lucky Luke, he is said to be the quickest shooter in the West, even quicker than his own shadow (Literally being quicker than light then):

So, here are the answers to the three reasons I listed above:
1. Name: Lucky Roo vs. Lucky Luke, note that in Japanese there’s no L so they would pronounce it Rook, notice the similarity?
2. Speed: Lucky Roo is shown to appear literally in an instant, Lucky Luke is quicker than his own shadow
3. Oda: Lucky Luke is a very famous Cowboy character, it makes sense that a Western lover like Oda would know him and take inspiration from him.

So, here’s what I think Lucky Roo’s powers are:
The Tere Tere no Mi (Teleport Teleport Fruit), Teleportation is quicker than the speed of light since it is literally disappearing and appearing somewhere else in the same instant.

I think that the fruit has some range, but you can teleport yourself, and everything you grab/touch, that would explain his sudden appearance near Higuma’s man, and it means that he might have teleported the Red-Hair’s entire ship quickly, therefore reaching Marineford in an impossible amount of time.

We all know Bartolomeo as the guy who just fanboys on Luffy and Strawhats in this ongoing Dressrosa Arc.

But there’s more to him than meets the eye.

Bartolomeo started idolizing the Strawhats when he saw Luffy in Lougetown, since then he dreamt of being a pirate and ultimately sailing after 2 years in which he acquired a notable bounty and a reputation where people named him as “Cannibal” because of his cruelness and trollish attitude.

But what is the other reason Bartolomeo actually went out to sea aside from meeting Luffy?

It’s because Bartolomeo had been looking for his father, this guy:

Devil Dias.

Yes, Bartolomeo had been looking for his father never knowing that his father got killed by Tenryuubito, and that his father had been a slave all along.

I’ll assume that the briefcase Bartolomeo was holding was actually the things he want to give to his father.

But after hearing the death of his father from Sabo and Koala, Bartolomeo would ultimately make a decision and stop following Luffy for a bigger cause.

Bartolomeo will join the Revolutionary Army.

1. Zoro as the vice captain has given his comment or approval regarding other strawhats, EXCEPT SANJI. Since Luffy and Zoro are the first two member of the strawhats, it seems normal that Zoro will always be there when other strawhats are recruited. But in Sanji’s case, Zoro was away following Nami.

2. Every strawhats has their picture seen by the world, EXCEPT SANJI.
I am talking about their bounty poster.

3. We know that every strawhats has lost somebody important in their life, EXCEPT SANJI.
Luffy lost Sabo(returned) and Ace.
Zoro lost Kuina.
Usopp, Robin, and Nami lost their mother.
Franky lost Tom.
Brook lost his captain, then his crew.
Chopper lost Dr. Hiluluk.
In fact, in his flashback instead of losing somebody, Sanji actually got a new friend (Zeff).

4. Every strawhats has once left the crew, or fought a member of the crew, EXCEPT SANJI.
Zoro was going to be killed by Luffy in Whiskey Peak (Chapter 112).

Nami and Robin temporarily left the crew.
Usopp and Franky fought Luffy.
Chopper was forced to left the crew by Foxy.

Brook fought Zoro, actually Brook’s shadow(Ryuma) fought Zoro.
Luffy fought himself (Chapter 478 – Luffy versus Luffy).

5. Every strawhats has devil fruit ability or weapon, EXCEPT SANJI.
Luffy, Robin, Chopper, and Brook have their df abilities.
Zoro has his swords.
Nami has her clima tact.
Usopp has his kabuto.
Franky is actually a weapon himself.
Not only lack of weapon or df ability, in fact Sanji restricted himself in using his hand.

So let me tell you my theory regarding these 5 anomalies.

In the future there will be a big incident that remove those anomalies. In other words, Oda has prepared an amazing story to make Sanji’s character follow the pattern. Lets talk about the pattern one by one.

1. Sanji will temporarily leave the crew, and here Zoro again will give an amazing advice or speech about it. And when Sani comes back, Zoro will give his proper approval. But what could be the reason for Sanji to leave the crew?

2. Sanji will get his proper photograph for his bounty poster, and that is when his parents will recognize the existence of their long lost child and will try ask Sanji to come back. But who are Sanji’s parents?

3. Or maybe Sanji actually has lost one of his parents, or his brother, or his sister. Then for some reason he decided to runaway or to take revenge by sneaking to Orbit.

We have seen many times Sanji sneaking to follow his instinct.
Sanji was sneaking to Maxim to rescue Nami.
Sanji was sneaking to Puffing Tom to rescue Robin.
Maybe at the momet while Thousand Sunny is heading to Zou, Sanji is sneaking to Big Mom’s ship.
Maybe in the future the strawhats will encounter Orbit and that is when the strawhats learn Sanji’s true identitiy. But what is his true identitiy?

4. Not only he will leave the crew, Sanji will have his proper fight with Zoro.

So, many people has been talking about Sanji being actually a prince of some kingdom since Oda has foreshadowed it by giving him alias as Mr. Prince.
Also, Zoro has actually mentioned that Sanji looks like a prince.

Notice the ball in his head, it looks like the ball in Inuppe’s head (Zombie who owned Sanji’s shadow).

5. For his ability. There are two possibilities.
the first one is, Sanji might get a devil fruit ability, which enhance his kicking ability. Logia maybe, or Bellamy’s fruit, or actually his dream fruit (Absalom’s fruit). I prefer the second possibility, Sanji will get a weapon, which is a metal boots since he need an armor to cover his leg. Or shoes to enhance his kicking ability, similar to Detective Conan’s shoes, LOL.

Or maybe he will lose one of his leg, and Franky will give Sanji a prosthetic robotic leg (super awesome).
In fact in early concept of strawhats character, somebody has got a prosthetic robotic leg.

And it will be funny when Sanji finally meet Zeff again. Zeff will laugh and tell Sanji “so you follow my style huh” since we know Zeff actually got a prostetic leg himself.

Lastly, since we are talking about Sanji. I want to point out that Strawhats might not need to have a giant in their crew to figh Sanjuan Wolf, because we have Sanji. Oda himself has foreshadowed that Sanji will fight Sanjuan Wolf 3 times.
1. The first 4 letters of their name are same, so Sanji versus Sanju.
2. Sanji has the experience of fighting a super huge giant (Wadatsumi).
3. They actually have the same birthday (second of march).

This is a simple theory quickie.

Kaidou is called “The Worlds Strongest Creature” so we can assume that he isn’t human. The are many races in the OP world but the race I think Kaidou belongs to are the minkmen just like Bepo the bear and Pekoms the lion.

What kind of talking animal you say? A Monkey. Yes people. Kaidou is a monkey minkman and for good reason.

So far, we only have these silhouttes of Kaidou.

From these, you can tell Kaidou has a long/big/pointy nose. There are actually monkeys with big noses.

Know all those theories of Kaidou being based off Napoleon and being short? Well monkeys are short.

Many theories have claimed that Kaidou is Chinese and that supports my claim of Kaidou’s appearance as monkeys are very important animals in Chinese culture and mythology. In one of my latest theories, I said Chinese monkey statues are used to ward of demons and Luffy’s alliance resemble a “Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.”

Did you guys know that Monkey D. Luffy’s personality is based off Sun Wukong the monkey king in Chinese Buddhism? Sun Wukong was known as a troublemaker and he beat a dragon and Kaidou is a dragon zoan. It is common for OP villains to be meet with great irony and Kaidou, a real monkey, being beaten by Luffy is very ironic and symbolic.

Lastly, Kaidou is the ONLY yonkou whom we have not seen AND got hype. With the other yonko, we’ve seen them and we know how menacing they are based on their presence/appearance. With Kaidou, his hype is strengthened through the words of others. With this, I can say Kaidou will look RIDICULOUS. A good contrast to the other menacing looking yonkou. Just imaging a monkey-dragon hybrid. Kaku 2.0.

If you re-watch Marineford, you will see something very peculiar; when the admirals fight high members of the WB crew, it seems as if those high members didn’t have haki.
As seen in this

Here it actually says that WB used haki

And in these videos, do you find it weird that even though ace’s hand got touched by LAVA it didn’t even bleed? And do you really think that neither Ace, Marco, or Vista had haki? No, i believe that their is a way that a logia can bypass haki and become their element even when hit by haki

THE CONQUERING METHOD
Now this method probably wasn’t used by the admirals, since i doubt any of them had CoC; but i do believe that it was used by both Sabo and Ace. Basically, this in this method; the user uses CoC to conquer the opponents’ haki, turning their armament fist into a regular fist

THE CoA+CoO METHOD
I believe this was the method the admirals used during the fight. Here’s what i think

• first, the admirals used CoO to monitor the haki level of the incoming punch
• next they used CoA to exactly match the level of haki of the incoming punch
• when the haki of the admiral met the haki of their opponent, since their hakis were exactly the same; they cancelled each other out, therefore the fist acts normally on the body

*Theory by knaal

So I just saw a amazing theory on the internet, which goes deep into Mihawk’s origin and name.

We probably all know that Dracule Mihawk is based on the famous vampire Dracula.
Dracula was based on Vlad the Impaler, the holy knight.
He was a medieval Romanian Prince, whose non-stopping thirst for blood inspired the legend of Dracula.
He was a religious knight that fought in holy wars, Mihawk is also depicted as a holy person.

His religious symoblism (his cross around his neck) also connects to his powers.

I believe Mihawk’s Blade is a cursed Holy sword.

In the non-canon movie (Norowareta Seiken, Movie 5), the villian (Saga) used a cursed sword. This sword eventually took over his mind. Eventhough this is a non-canon movie, it still gives us more information about the potential of cursed swords.

We all know Zoro also possesses a cursed blade. Many people speculate about the Asura (the attack he showed against Kaku in Enies Lobby) originating from the cursed blade Zoro has.

If it was shown in the movie that a cursed blade leads to a spirit, why can’t it be the same for Zoro’s Asura?

In Japanese legends, muramasa cursed blades are considered to lead to possession of entities.
Muramas was a ancient Japanese swordsmith who, according to legend, prayed that his swords would be “Great Destroyers”. Because of the exceptional quality of his blade, the Gods granted his request and imbued them with a bloodthirsty spirit that (if not sated with battle) would drive the wielder to murder or suicide.
There are countless stories of the Muramasa’s wielders going mad or being murdered. The swords were believe to be cursed and where banned by the Imperial edict.

This could be the reason why Zoro’s Asura is a result of the Cursed Blade. Zoro’s hasnt mudered anyone with his cursed blade, so the bloodthirsty spirit took over, hence the Asura.
I believe Mihawk has a similiar thing going on with his blade.

Mihawk’s blade Yoru is a cursed blade, but of a different breed that Zoro’s Kitetsu. I believe Yoru is a holy sword with a curse to turn Mihawk in a Demon Slayer.
The blood of the blade seeks evil, hence why it is the strongest blade.

It has turned Mihawk into a religious Demon-Hunter, just like Vlad the Impaler, who he is based on.
It also makes him a figurative Vampire, since the spirit of his sword wants the blood of evil.

We have Zoro (the cursed Demon, Asura) versus Mihawk (the cursed Demon Slayer). It is a nice contrast.

Mihawk’s sword was made in ancient times to counter the demons and evil spirits that arose from the cursed blades.
The sword contains a sort of Vampire spirit that loves the blood of Demons or any evil person.
Mihawk has managed to control this spirit, just as Zoro has managed to control the Asura.

The green energy that emits from Mihawk’s slashes represent the holy aura of the sword spirit.

Many people also think that Cavendish has a cursed sword, which mades him transform into Hakuba. Just like Zoro who can transform in Asura.
This is why I think that Mihawk also has a potential transformation.

I think Mihawk’s transformation will make him look much more like an Vampire. I believe he will get wings, just like Vampires have bat wings. This also goes in harmony with his Hawk Eyes (hence his nickname). Those Eyes could be some foreshadowing of him being able to fly. So the wings could be possible.

Mihawk also has an coffin on his raft which we saw in the Baratie Arc. This also represents his Vampire form, because Vampires sleep in coffins.

Lastly, the Vampire spirit would also explain why Mihawk lives in such a dark place. It looks alot like the castle of Count Dracula, hence the Vampire spirit.

Everyone after watching/reading the PH arc was complaining about how weak Smoker is compared to preTS Smoker and Luffy. How Luffy went ahead of him.
All this is true. However, I believe it all had a reason and PH played a very important role towards strengthening Smoker.
Lets get to it:

• The enitire PH arc was meant to be a wake up call for Smoker.
• He used to be stronger than Luffy but Luffy surpassed him during the TS.
• Luffy had 3 main wake up calls during preTS that made his see his weakenesses and train hard to be where he is rite now ie:
  1. Aokiji encountre. He wasnt strong enough to defeat his enemy. He also thought he could take on anyone and everyone.
  2. Kizaru and Sentomru in Sabody. He couldnt protect his dream ie he needs to be alive, not in prison and have his crew to be the PK.
  3. Ace’s death. He couldnt protect someone precious to him ie Ace.
• PH arc was meant to show Smoker that he is weak and needs to step up his game. Luffy, Law and Vergo who are in his league clearly outclass him @ the moment.
• Just like Luffy had 3 major eye opening experiences, Smoker also had them in PH ie:
  1. He got defeated by Law and had to beg for his life from a pirate(Law).
  2. He had to fight Vergo who clearly whopped him. He saw the injustice in the marine and was unable to do anything about it since he lacked the strength. He had to depend on a pirate, the scum of the earth, to fight his battle for him.
  3. He had to fight DD who was beyond his level and almost killed him and his crew.
• All these scenarios showed Smoker that:
  1. He wasnt strong enough to defeat his enemies and He also thought he could take on anyone and everyone. (Law, Vergo and DD)
  2. He coudlnt protect his dream (couldnt stop the injustice and corruption)
  3. He couldnt protect those precious to him ie his crew(against DD and to some extend CC and Vergo)

This experience will make Smoker stronger:

• The fact that Luffy went ahead to him will fuel his drive and motivate Smoker to train harder.
• His willpower will be strengthen and his determination to achieve is dream will also be strengthened.
• He was already stronger than Luffy preTS, so after this the next tym he is shown he will be on Luffy’s lvl.

Therefore Everything that happened in PH was neccessary for Smoker to grow stronger.

*Theory by BossYimz

Oda likes to use myths, legends and fables, e.g. “fable” backwards = Elbaf. In chinese mythology, there are said to be 4 seas: North, South, East and West
Those 4 seas are represented by four colors: Yellow, Blue, White and Red
They have also been represented by different animals over the time including a Monkey, a Bird, a Dragon, and a Dog

This of course screams:

A north sea with a yellow monkey = Admiral Kizaru
A south sea with a blue bird = Admiral Aokiji
A west sea with a red dog = Admiral Akainu

-> That would leave the East Sea = Admiral White Dragon (Shiroryu)

There is a similar myth that supports this:

The myth is about a king who had 4 loyal followers: One had the shape of a bird, the 2nd the shape of a monkey, the 3rd the shape of a dog, and the last the shape of a pheasant. Some day, the bird realized how evil the king was, so he left his king, but not without letting the other followers know the truth. To his disappointment, the dog was too loyal to his king, the monkey was an idiot and he couldn’t understand what’s going on, and the pheasant was simply too lazy to do something.

Now all this resembles the Admirals in One Piece a lot. The colours + the animals + the attitudes! (This time, the bird = dragon)

I believe that Sakazuki’s loyalty to the Navy and the Absolute Justice, Borsalino’s (pretended) goofiness, and Aokiji’s laziness are taken from those myths, hence I believe that the White Dragon, who saw the truth about the evil of his king, is Monkey D. Dragon, Admiral Monkey D. Dragon, with the person of the “King” being taken by the institution of World Government.

Growing up as the son of the famous and renowned Marine officer Monkey D. Garp, combined with the experiences of racism, humiliation and discrimination he made while living on Dawn Island, it’s plausible that Dragon joined the Marine or the WG with hopes of changing the world. But he had to realize (like the Dragon in the myth), that the WG is too evil, too set in their ways, and that the system couldnt be changed. He deserted his position, formed the Revolutionaries and dedicated 100% of his effort to achieving his goal: Changing the world, changing the system, erasing racism, discrimination and humiliation from the world.

I say “dedicate 100%”, because he didnt even take care of his own son, or he wasn’t able to take care of him.

Whatever the case may be, something must have happened in his life, to trigger a young man to abandon his former life and to start a life of secrecy and rebellion. And since love & romance are not a big subject in One Piece at all, I doubt that his Wife (Luffy’s Mom) or even Garp’s Wife (Dragon’s own Mom) have much to do with this. I believe the evil of the WG, that he experienced at first hand, triggered Dragon’s decision to start a revolution.

What do you think about Dragon’s Past?

*Theory by Gobee129

There are many theories on Brook’s fruit, the best I’ve heard are that Brook’s fruit is the hell fruit & that Brook’s fruit gives him soul manipulation. But imho there is a better power that fits the title of Yomi Yomi no mi other than the aforementioned theories; I believe that the Yomi Yomi no mi grants its user the power of Necromancy.

WHAT IS NECROMANCY?
Necromancy is magic that is used to manipulate the dead, http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Necromancy . If you read the page that i linked it states that necromancy can give the user the ability to cheat or bypass death… this sounds a lot like Brook

WHY NECROMANCY?
I believe that necromancy is the most likely power that the yomi yomi no mi has for several reasons. First, http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Yomi_Yomi_no_Mi the fruit’s official english name used by both Viz and funimation is the revive revive fruit; how would the underworld or manipulating living souls even make sense if the fruit is called the revive revive fruit? Now i know that Yomi no kuni means underworld, but if that was the case wouldn’t Oda have told Viz/ funimation to just call it the yomi yomi fruit rather than translate it to english. I believe that the reason it’s called the revive revive fruit is because it’s power centralizes on reviving the souls of the dead; i mean if Brook can revive himself, why not others?

WHAT POWERS WILL BROOK HAVE AND HOW WILL THEY WORK?
Brook’s power will allow him to talk to souls in the underworld, it will allow Brook to make contracts with the dead. Once a contract is made, Brook can then summon the spirit whenever he pleases. The spirits he summons can only exist for 30 minutes a day unless they are bound to an earthly object; but whenever the spirits are summoned they have the intangibility and recovery of a logia. He can control and manipulate the powers of the spirits he summons, in addition he can fuse his spirits to objects/weapons to make them stronger; finally Brook can merge his soul and the soul of the spirit to become stronger, like Moria’s shadow assguard. The spirits he summons will retain their original haki and strength but will lose any devil fruit ability that they used to possess.

WILL THIS RUIN ONE PIECE?
I knew that if i brought up this theory, many people would disagree with it since it could potentially be used to revive important characters like Ace. Well for your info. none of the spirits that Brook will use will be any significant dead character, however i can see Brook telling Luffy that he had a conversation with Ace and how Ace told Brook that Luffy is the one who will surpass Roger

WHAT IS SOUL SOLID?
Over the time skip, Brook figured out how to use his sword to freeze his opponents and named it soul solid. Now many people say that soul solid is Brook projecting his soul into the sword; however when Brook talked about the sword, he mentioned the land of the dead and how the longarm tribe “sharpened the sword”. This leads me to think that soul solid’s power was somehow increased by the longarm tribe. So here’s the theory:

-When Brook was with the long arm tribe, namakura island( the island Brook landed on first http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Namakura_Island )declared war on the longarms
-The people of namakura wanted revenge on the longarms and therefore invaded
-However knowing that their military was weaker and that they would never win, They had planned to suicide bomb themselves offering their bodies to satan
-When the namakurans met with the admiral of the longarm army, they bombed themselves
-After seeing the explosion, Brook ran to the scene; all the namakurans were dead but the longarms were still alive however they were all fatally wounded
-The admiral told Brook that he reminded him of his son, Scratchman Apu who happened to love music as much as Brook did. The admiral told Brook that Apu was loved throughout the tribe but secretly wanted to be a pirate, which the admiral disproved of, then he told Brook that one day he and the army came together to persuade Apu to give up being a pirate. Apu ran away from his father and the army, snuck into a boat and was never heard of again. The admiral along with the surviving members of the longarm army(who were about to die) began to cry and say that all they wanted to do was see Apu again, but they knew that that would never happen. Brook then tells the admiral along with the rest of the army about what his fruit can do, then the army begs Brook to make a contract with them after they die so that if Brook ever met Apu Brook could summon the army and they could finally see Apu.
-Brook grants their wish as they die; Brook then summons the all of the army and stores their souls in his sword. When Brook said the longarms sharpened his sword, he meant they enhanced it by giving the sword their souls.

This makes sense since it is called soul solid; in science a solid is the most dense form of matter. Soul solid is a sword that is dense with souls packed inside of it. Every soul is cold by nature, but when you pack so many souls into on sword; the temperature of the sword drops to below freezing temperatures.

TECHNIQUES:

Rebirth: Brook summons a soul from the underworld

Condemn: Brook attaches a soul to an earthly object

Devour: Brook combines his soul with the soul of the undead to create a “shadow assguard” version of Brook, Brook’s “shadow assguard” mode wouldn’t necessarily be larger than his original form, but will increase the power of Brook’s strength, speed, regeneration. This form will also give him all the haki of the soul he absorbed

Blizzard of a thousand souls: Brook creates a shockwave of ice out of soul solid

Purge: Brook purges a soul: in this process, Brook sends the soul to heaven by burning it; once a soul is purged it can no longer be used by Brook. This technique allows Brook to use fire

Hellfire slash: Brook purges all the soul in his soul solid to create a massive blast of fire, this is a 1-time attack that brook will use to finish Apu when they fight

Shinigami mode: due to consuming too many spirits, Brook’s body overflows with spirit energy giving him a cloak of energy. This greatly enhances all of Brook’s abilities

Anyways i believe that apart from the longarms, Brook will have many other souls; each soul has a different power and whenever Brook eats a soul he obtains a new power.

*Theory by knaal

I know this theory has been thrown around and some people believe that BlackBeard has like an ogre like zoan, hydra like zoan, or Chimera like zoan, I have heard about the parasitic twins theory (Which in my opinion is the best theory, even better than this one I am writing about) But I have a huge feeling about Blackbeard being a Cerberus Zoan(hellhound zoan) before he obtain the Yami Yami Devil Fruit.

Here is a short video where I talked about this theory:

So let’s start with why do i think Blackbeard has the Cerberus Zoan type.
Ok let’s take a look at what I call the Legend of 3(totally made that up but it will make sense)

The original Blackbeard’s real name was Edward Teach but in other parts of the world others called him Edward Thatch

Oda basically grabbed one real life character and turned him into 3 fictional characters.

Edward Newgate (the most badass character in One Piece so far)

Thatch (He has a badass design!)

and of course or beloved Marshall D. Teach

I think its amazing that oda went this route, so basically In One Piece Oda has a theme where the number 3 seems to show up a lot when looking into Blackbeard.
Let’s start with his Jolly Roger (which looks like a Cerberus)

I believe that Blackbeard had already ate the zoan type Devil fruit, of course I also believe that that zoan is a Cerberus. His Jolly roger is strong evidence that this could be true . But notice how Black Beard’s Jolly roger has 3 skulls right? ok lets move on. I recently notice that Black Beard sports 3 flint locks? hmmm 3….the number 3 shows up again.

To be honest Blackbeard is such a bad ass character he is just eating pies, drinking beer, carrying flintlocks, having multiple Devil fruits, this guy just screams last villain!
Ok so Blackbeard wears these odd rings in his hands, he wears 4 in inch hand but only 3 of them on each hand have gems on them (maybe he puts the devil fruit powers on the rings so that he is not effected by water) again the number 3 shows up yet again.

Then we have Red Haired Shanks who was given a scar by Blackbeard Pre darkness Devil Fruit.
How the hell did blackbeard get close enough to give Shanks 3 scars? wait did I say 3 scars? the number 3 shows itself yet again!

Some of you guys might say “but John Black Beard had a weapon that had claws and that could be the reason why Black Beard gave Shanks a scar” but the thing is that weapon had 4 claws and shanks has only 3 scars.

Now lets take a look at my actual theory, My theory is that Blackbeard has 3 souls. I believe that he absorbed 2 souls specifically White Beard and Thatch (ironically those 2 would make him complete since Oda separated them for this show) There are multiple ways I can see BlackBeard doing this theory about getting the souls. In some legends Cerberus are know to eat or rip out the souls from there victims. I believe thats what Blackbeard did to both Thatch and Whitebeard. Another possibility is that he stores there souls in the rings he carries. Lets say he did take 2 souls that would mean he has 3! what! yes i said 3! But wait theres more!

If Blackbeard has 3 souls that can explain why he has 2 Devil fruits (I believe he has 3 already)
Maybe the reason Blackbeard Darkness fruit does not work as a normal logia does is because he had already the zoan type devil fruit, maybe because of that he cant do the whole not being effected by attacks like the other logias.

Make sure you check out my video on this because i believe i explained it better on my video.
What do you guys think?
