WHAT BLACKBEARD’S JOLLY ROGER MEANS, TEACH’S DEATH and HOW BB ABSORBS DFS

1

As we know, BB’s jolly roger is a three headed skull. Many people believe that this is evidence that BB has a Cerberus DF, but i strongly disagree.
Their is little to no evidence that BB has a cerberus DF; furthermore it makes no sense even if he had that fruit

– If BB had that fruit, then why didn’t he ever use it?
– If BB had that fruit, then why did he say that the yami yami no mi was the strongest DF?

Rather i have a different idea; I believe that BB’s cerberus is represents two things

1. An allusion to the tale of Hercules
2. The awakened power of the yami yami no mi

HERCULES

As i said i believe that BB’s jolly roger is an allusion to Hercules, Specifically the 12 labors of Hercules. As you may know; Hercules did 12 labors as a penance for killing his family. The 12th and final labor was kidnapping Cerberus.

Similarily, i believe that BB will be the final labor for Luffy. BB wants the one piece, just like luffy; however BB is a yonko, meaning he is already ahead of Luffy in the search for one piece. This means that unless someone defeates BB before the final arcs(which won’t happen), BB will be the strongest person who wants the one piece that Luffy has to beat. What i am basically saying is that cerberus is the final labor for Hercules; just like BB will be the final villain for Luffy. Lastly, Hercules didn’t kill the cerberus and rather returned it safely back to the underworld; i believe that this could be used in one piece. I don’t believe that Luffy will kill BB in the end of one piece, but rather spare his life. However i do believe BB will die, but by his own hands.

YAMI YAMI NO MI THE MOST EVIL?

BB said that the yami yami no mi was said to be the most evil DF, but why is that? Many people believe that the yami yami no mi was called evil because it could steal DFs, but i have a different theory. I believe that the yami yami no mi is called evil because it absorbs souls. We know that the yami yami no mi can absorb DFs, so why not souls? I also believe that the yami yami no mi is based on Tartarus. Tartarus is the primordial deity of Darkness, meaning that it is the personification of darkness. Similarly the yami yami no mi is a logia which allows the user to become darkness(i believe that BB can turn into pure darkness when he is not in contact with light). Tartarus is where the souls of the titans are stored; similarly the yami yami no mi is where DF souls are stored. Why is this important? Well as i said, in the story of hercules, hercules returned the cerberus to the underworld. And in greek mythology, tartarus is found in the underworld. So in one piece i believe that the similarities would go something like this:

Luffy = Hercules
Blackbeard = Cerberus
Yami yami no mi = Tartarus and the underworld

So if ceberus goes back to the underworld, and the underworld in one piece is represented by the yami yami no mi, then what does that mean? Well i believe their is a secret risk to using the power of the yami yami no mi, that being that the user could be consumed by darkness. I believe that every user of the yami yami no mi died because their own soul and body was consumed by the yami yami no mi, forever connecting them with the yami yami no mi. I believe that’s why Marshall D teach has an “unusual body” and that is also the reason he can consume many DFs; he can survive eating many DFs because he no longer has only 1 body, his body is literally a combination of the bodies of everyone who died by the hands of the yami yami no mi.

BLACKBEARD’S AWAKENING

I believe BB’s awakening will allow him to do 3 things

1.Absorb all light
2.Become darkness
3.Change the physical features of his body

In another theory I explained how logias like Enel and Monet change the physical features of their body by using their logia abilities(enel becomes a giant in his raijin form, monet grows sharp teeth). I believe by doing this, BB will have the ability to change the shape of his body into that of a cerberus-human hybrid by controlling how his body looks in it’s logia form. This will give him logia-like abilities when using hand-to-hand combat

Conclusion:

-The yami yami no mi represents tartarus and the underworld
-Blackbeard represents cerberus
-Luffy represents Hercules
-Blackbeard’s jolly roger represents BB being the final fight for Luffy
-The yami yami no mi will eventually consume the bodies and souls of their user
-The reason why BB can eat many DFs is because his body is a combination of the bodies of every other person who ate the yami yami no mi
-BB’s awakening will allow him to become a cerberus-human hybrid by changing the shape of his body in his darkness form

    I disagree on the thing that goes along for a long time already … that with the yami yami no me you can absorb a Devilfruit from a user. In the manga 786 Burgers said he will Kill Luffy and then his Devilfruit-powers will belong to him. In 787 he said the same to sabo who now has the fruit of ACE … but Blackbeard is nowhere around right now, which i think means there is another way to absorb a devilfruit.

  4. How about shanks 3 scar on his left eye after fight him?

    • Blackbeard thought that shanks had the yami yami fruit instead it is a gomu gomu fruit. Yami yami and gomu gomu are looks simillar therefore, BB attack shanks to get the fruit and he left scars on eyes of Shanks.

      • But why the three scars ? It looks as if some kind of claw cut Shanks’ face. Also something must have surprised Shanks in that fight, because I think there is no way Blackbeard was as trong as shanks, before he even ate his devil fruit.

      • how come BB atk shank to get that fruit @Kristian did u ever read one piece? as a member of white beard who ever found the DF will be the one who find it… coz BB’s ambition he want to get it so he kill and steal it then run! or u can get a link what BB get from shank?

        sorry for bad english.

        • Alai capone

          I think roger DF is gomu gomu no mi, since shank lost his hands becoz luffy ate the fruit and he want to save him…shank already powerful dat time to let his guard down on sea monster like dat. And shanks once on a boat with roger and he there when roger died..but shanks don’t want to eat dat fruit coz he know dat gomu gomu no mi will have a mutual enemy and dats is yami yami no mi.. And dats y he go meet wb and ask he to order ace to stop chasing bb coz it’s useless to kill him..only gomu gomu no mi will kill him… How about dis, Jesus and antichrist…and dats the fate of gomu gomu no mi and yami yami no mi…shanks lost his arm for the new era
