Blackbeard's Bloodline: The World's Greatest Threat 

Your unwavering belief in Shanks' hot sister continues to inspire, thank you Tekking

22:55 Marco was like, the main doctor of the Whitebeard Crew. If anybody would know how weird Blackbeard’s body is, it would be him.

With the ring theory: I could see it still working if it’s something like “when there’s no light to weaken it, the Yami-Yami-no-mi’s power prevents even devil fruit from escaping to reincarnation! In such conditions, I can force the powers of other devil fruits into any vessel I desire!” Would instantly explain why the darkness fruit was so important to his plans, and how they’re able to steal fruits so precisely.

The celestial dragons favorite website is ancestory site to know exactly who is related to who.

Omg........BLACK BEARD IS A MEMBER OF THE BLOODLINE?!?!?!?!? CODY RHODES IS ABSOLUTELY DONE FOR AT WRESTLEMANIA!!!!!!

Black beard lineage is actually very well documented. Don't believe me, they use the term BBL for short

You know what I find interesting is that during the same time we find out who Blackbeard was in Ch. 234 / Ep. 151 which also features the introduction to several other characters with interesting bloodline that being Kuma who is part of the Buccaneer tribe & Doflamingo who is part of the Celestial Dragons

Shanks takes BB so serious that he recruited Rockstar as prep for their next fight

Speaking about the chicken hat, everyday after highschool classes I put on a taco costume and flipped a business sign though the air and made pretty good money as my first ever job lol

1:04 imagine having a date and just searching your entire house for a chicken hat

I suspect that Blackbeard is actually related to whomever released the devil fruits on the world rather than JoyBoy. It would fit the whole Sun God versus the Devil that we would get from Imu if they are the final villain.

What if Blackbeard used the Dark-Dark fruit to somehow absorb Whitebeard's soul before it departed? I'm not sure why it would need to be hidden from sight... perhaps the power needs to be used in complete darkness.

Blackbeard secret 3rd devil fruit would track to how he was able to scar shanks before having the yami yami

12:31 Ace in the hole? More like... Hole in the ace...

I wonder if Blackbeards lineage will finally answer that moment we had back in Gaia. "It's not him, it's them."

Rocks D. Xebec likely tried to recruit Roger to his crew at some point

I don’t know about you but I found the fan translation I read to be funnier. Like I think “rewrite the textbooks”, Brook saying “we wont be able to stop for tea”, and Luffy’s “what’s with the waterworks” were funnier.

I think it's possible that Blackbeard is basically...everything. He might be a mix of EVERY race in the One Piece World. Fish Men, Giants, Buccaneers, Lunarians, etc. He might be the "perfect mutt" as it were, with the best attributes of all those races, completely by accident. I mean, what do you get if you mix all the colors together? Black! Both the absence and combination of all other colors and light.Those rings represent each one of his past family members. Each from a different race. All coming together in him.

If BB had captured the strawhats at Jaya would Robin have joined BB to stay alive? On the one hand, she still didn't know the straw hats that well and had not traveled with them for more than a couple days/weeks. On the other hand, she was very impressed with the strawhats for saving Alabasta, and she seemed to have a good understanding/respect for Luffy after he stopped crocodile. What would have happened when Kuzan decided to look for Robin? Would BB have fought him to keep Robin (not for Robin but for her reading abilities)? Could BB and crew have beaten Kuzan at that point in the story? Tekking this needs a video.

I'm pretty sure that back in the days when BB got his 2nd devil fruit, the Gorosei themselves said "this never happened in history before" or something along these lines, so most probably Rocks never had a 2nd one, unless it was so stealthily used no one would ever notice, like Burgess' Strong-Strong fruit, if Rocks was a Buccaneer people would write it off as "oh, it's just his superhuman body, don't worry". The most plausible thing to me would be that BB is a mix of two races, perhaps both Lunarian and Buccaneer, and somehow the perks of each race did not mix and technically a side of his body might be genetically different than the other. Also, if not that, I would really consider some sort of siamese theory, sometimes in real life people are born with a dead siamese(conjoined twin) inside them rather than outside. Basically one fetus absorbs the other one into his own body during gestation. That would technically solve the multiple souls theory and why he is able to have two DFs, considering that the other fetus' soul might still reside in BB. However, if anything "occult" like this is the case, I'm pretty sure Brook would be the one to reveal this to the Straw Hats if they ever face each other.

Thanks!

A New Hampshire congressman called Ralph D. Pain wrote a book in 1922 Blackbeard Buccaneer which could be foreshadowing to Teach's heritage.

On how he acquired the gura gura no mi, I think it’s really simple: We saw on Punk Hazard how a DV reincarnates on the closest fruit type, in that casa an apple. Assuming a person knows what type or what fruit it resembles, they just need to have it at hand and then it’s done

1:27~1:39 The true reason why Blackbeard failed to capture Luffy at Jaya was cause the Merry was wearing a chicken hat

Let’s go! Thanks tekking

If blackbeard is the only descendant of rocks then that explains why rocks put his soul in blackbeard's body after rocks' body was destroyed by garp and his revive revive fruit had nowhere to return him to. (My personal theory)

I thought of a way that Shanks could be the final villain. After Blackbeard & Imu are defeated, Luffy has become pirate King & armed himself with the One Piece & ancient weapons, he will try to destroy the Red Line & create the All Blue. Shanks opposes this & will defend the red line & seek to destroy the ancient weapons. He means well but believes destroying the red line will cause catastrophic damage to the world. So Luffy will have to get through Shanks to make his dream come true.

2:10- Or he heard the announcement of Saturn being on the island where they also said nobody below rear admiral is allowed to be near him.

At 16:00 I lost my shit laughing, idk why but the way you carried that sentence made me burst out laughing. Thank you so much man. Keep up the killer work like always!!!

Hi tekking, about Blackbeard, he was a warlord for a few weeks so that is probably how the gorosei know about his bloodline and marco was the doctor of the whitbeard pirates, so that is probably why he knows more than most people how weird BB body is

Keep up the awesome work and videos tekking love the video

8:30 That theory was disproved before it was even conceived. You need to have a mind to be able to control a DF power, that's why only Zoan fruits can be used for inanimate objects. A zoan fruit, like the Zou Zou no Mi, for example, gives the object animal intelligence. As an animal, Funkfried can be trained, and obey commands. Like "Go into your full zoan form and attack" or "come here and go back to your regular form". As we've seen with Chopper, the intelligence granted by the DF persist no matter which form they are in. Chopper still has human intelligence on all his forms, even in full reindeer, and he is even capable of human speech when he shouldn't have the appropriate vocal apparatus. We also see some of the permanent mental effects with Lucci, as explained by Chopper again: Carnivorous animals make the user of the Zoan DF more bloodthirsty, the predatorial instincts of the animal permanently become part of the mind of the user. How would a ring start a quake without a mind to give the command? If you still believe it's possible, try removing your brain and see if you can continue to operate. You need a nervous system, you need a mind to control your body. Now, for the sake of argument, let's say that DFs have a will of their own, hence they have a mind. However: a) How does Blackbeard command the ring to use its power every single time without uttering a word? Is he also a telepath? Did he train the ring to act based on the stances he strikes before the ring had a fruit, hence before it had a mind that would make it trainable? Even if he spoke orders, a ring has no ears. How did he train him? b) If that's the case, what prevented Vegapunk from feeding Paramecia and Logia fruits to inanimate objects? It was clearly stated it can only be done with Zoans. If every fruit has its own mind, then why the limitation? The process to "feed" the fruit would be the same, or extremely similar, and as we've seen with Bonney, it can be done with Paramecia fruits as well. Why is it not a thing, if possible, when even someone as bottom of the barrel as Mr. 4 has a handcannon that ate the Inu Inu no Mi, model: Dachshund? But more importantly, c) The "have their own will" thing was said solely and specifically about Zoan fruits, which fits what I explained previously. The "Zoan" clarification would've been completely unneeded if it was a rule for all DFs. So no, the ring theory cannot be a thing. I'm sorry for those who want it to be a thing, it's always been impossible, it contradicts rules established before and after, and it cannot work even applying One Piece logic to it.

Let's go, keep up the good work Tekking. Salutations from Spain.

i wonder how likely it is that the yami yami no mi is actually a secret mythic zoan like the gomu gomu no mi. given how he knew that was the specific DF he wanted and the likelihood that it was the DF Rocks had, it feels pretty likely that theres at least something special about it that weve yet to see. the fact it functions so much different than other Logia would also support that theory.

My favorite idea is the 3 heart theory. I saw some where that 3 9 9 6 translates to San kokoro which is "3 hearts" which is his new bounty. I'm also so sure that BB has a mythical zoan fruit already. The dark dark fruit has to be a zoan.

5:30 "There is no such attribute of 'genius', without a touch of 'madness" ~ (forgot who I'm trying to quote 😁 )

Millions of theories😮.... Will be waiting to hear and discuss

That's a cool end screen and the music was good

What I like about the ring theory is that it gives him a chance to have a bunch of abilities and it can be both

I could see the Strawhat Crew getting to Elbaf, luffy fully expecting Shanks to be there, but hes already gone when they arrive. Then we get cuts to a fight with the BB pirates fighting the Holy Knights and Shanks crew

Cool topic and also I love the new ending screen!

Hey Tekk

Hi Early Squad 😎😎😎 Thanks for the great new video Tekking and hug your furbabies all 💙🐱💙

Love the intro 😂

I think BB is an a descendant of Imu. If not a direct one but a family member in some way.

y'know tekking, im also in the bad hair boat and i just rock it out loud man.

I like the fact tekking said no one taking shanks seriously might agree on that part, like how probably shanks got his scar first hand and probably didnt expect anything off blackbeard before that eye scar, secondly whitebeard when shanks tried to save ace knowing the threat and grim ace would face, now might be the gorosei he might have a flash back convo with shanks about black beard thats after blackbeard does his canning plan that will shook the world.

I've got a feeling it's a lie you can't have more than one devil fruit power. Blackbeard was one of the first to try it. Vegapunk could confirm it too

Thank you for the video! I always enjoy watching your videos! This was very interesting!

After some of the info in Egghead i think Vegapunk's method for putting devil fruits into objects comes from Kumas ability to make intangible things become tangible. Taking the power out of the fruit and putting it into an object/weapon ect

23:40 - The Gorosei acknowledged that nobody had 2 devil fruits before Teach during the Aftermath of the war.

Me watching this excited about this next chapter

I've never heard of the Ring Theory (also nice end screen)

Its funny that you bring up my hero because my hope for BB was to be a villain like Shigi. Instead, though, he became more like a Palpatine where anytime he shows up, he's gonna be getting a plot W.

I took your advice about the chicken hat. Not only did it get me fired from my job but my wife and kids also left me. Thanks Tek.

8:45 before i knew everything about Teach, i thought his rings had his powers. That was back when he fought Ace.

I'm calling it right now, in the luffy v bb fight luffy will have a "you put out my sun who decided that" type moment from escanor v estarosa

13:06 he looks like a super hero lol!

Marco was the leader of the medical division on Whitebeard's crew, at some point he probably did some medical checks on Teach. That's how he knows his body is special.

A race with an unbreakable will would be amazing at Haki.

Good afternoon.

I think ur hair looks good bro

I feel like the double devil fruit has to have something to do with him getting the darkness fruit. He was relatively old when he set his plans into motion, and was waiting and searching for the fruit on white beards ship for a long time

Maybe the yami yami no mi’s awakened power is what allows multiple fruits and is actually a mythical that waited for the perfect user

Thank you great wizard tekking to share your secrets and giving permission to use it as well. I shell use the secret technique to fix my hair

My theory for why Blackbeard has multiple devil fruit is that he found a devil fruit called the dog dog fruit mythical variant model Cerberus that lets him consume 3 total devil fruits, he has a common theme of 3 but only has 2 known devil fruits, so if he had 3rd that only has the effect of allowing you to eat 2 other devil fruits it would explain it

This guy is so underrated he made videos for 14 years and still gets no credit from it

Nice to hear you're getting into P3 Reload! I've been strolling through the game myself ever since release, and am having a blast! I happen to be studying ancient greek thought and comparing the themes has been really enjoyable :) Hope you have fun with it!

As a man who's currently job hunting, I'll take that advice as soon as I order my chicken hat.

Hello tekking

the interesting thing is we know in op are half giants , but kuma only has giant blood, there has to be a twist

Considering how in the 8th Volume of OP Magazine Oda himself drew pictures of Teach's two sisters & mother I wonder if they will be included in Blackbeard's backstory

Funny coincidence - I actually had a job interview today. Did not wear a chicken hat. If I don't get this job I know what I'll have to do before the next one, thank you Tekking

Any blackbeard video is a good video

12:33 hole in the ace

Imagine if Blackbeard turns out to be the Ichigo of One Piece. He's just the perfect blend of all/most the strongest races with many of their unique powers making him insanely powerful.

What if Marco knows because he had to heal black beard at one point in time and while healing him he noticed how weird his body was?

I agree I don’t think he put the devil fruit in a ring, it just doesn’t make sense you have to have a soul that’s the main thing with all devil fruits.

The ring theory is intriguing to me. But the fact Blackbeards body comes up so much is such a checkovs gun for the two devil fruits Though I could be a perfect storm deal. His body that can resist the battle of multiple fruits, combined with the consuming and releasing power of the yami yami allows him to take the power into himself and then store it back into the ring so he doesn’t have to “resist the devils” 24/7

One of the upcoming battle will be like the valley incident, luffy teaming up with coby like roger with garp. They didn't just show that incident without doing nothing about it. Blackbeard is really going for king of the world like rocks.

Recently if have been thinking about the picture of Blackbeard as a child. He is crying under a moon, aka at night. I wonder if this hinted at his inability to sleep. I also wonder if he is crying because it is hard for him not being able to sleep, as it would be in our world, especially as a child. But it is also possible that it doesn’t bother him at all.

I think it makes sense for Blackbeard to be at least part LUNARian, being depicted as the polar opposite of Luffy (darkness/moon)..

Interesting thoughts. I am also not very high on ring theory, I don't like it.. Also think BB will def have 3 df's for sure

The only two people ive seen in the One Piece story with multiple personalities are BB and Pudding...who also happens to have a special lineage

Tekking may of heard this before but I think since we haven't seen a scene of black beard using crazy strong haki that end game has to be 3 devil fruit or more and awakening them. Think about it this way he has a crazy paramecia and logia already all he needs is a zoan.

I've always been of the opinion, since marnieford, that Blackbeard can/will have one fruit of each general category.

We know Marco is a doctor, so he could very well have been Teech's doctor for some time... We can only speculate how much Marco knew about Teech's body, but he certainly knows something and MAYBE told Shanks everything about it at some point. That would explain a lot of stuff.

Never heard of the ring theory, but I agree that it shouldn’t be how he’s doing multiple powers. One of the best qualities of one piece is how unique the implementation of themed powers are. Putting the power in his ring kinda turns it into an arms race to collect objects. While people have their own dreams and you have to be a leader or influence others somehow to “collect” or gain people to help you which is much more interesting. Especially from a story telling perspective. Also thinking of real world, as soon as a replicable secret is learned everyone else also advances their arms technology, think tanks, smokeless powder, machine guns etc. I don’t want many people with multiple fruits

I wonder if theres a connection to the snowy country that people never sleep, vegapunk being on 3 winter islands and why blackbeard overthrew wapol on drum island not to mention Blackbeard has a guy on his crew with the ice ice fruit pretty much. Theres some ice age or snowstorm with sleeping void century subtle hints that could be going on with BB and Imu of Rocks could be alive but frozen somewhere

Yeah there’s definitely something going on with bbs body and Marco and shanks definitely know something about it.

I kind of love the hat ... No cap

Hahahahhah Thanks tekking, again!

Honestly if blackbeard had 3 devilfruits and he hid one, imagine how unstoppable the Doku Doku no Mi would make him

Has anyone ever discussed how and why did Mr. 4 even obtained a gun with a devil fruit? Does Spandam ever explain how vegapunk did it to combine a zoan devil fruit to a sword?

When it comes to black beards devil fruits the real question is will he be able to mix them to make a darkness quake that nullifies all df powers in a area without physical touch.

It’s very fun to consider that most of what Blackbeard has is a direct or indirect result of Luffy Luffy sent impel down into chaos before he got there Luffy escaped him at Jaya and he caught ace instead Luffy punched Saturn to Devon Luffy torched wci and distracted big mom before kuzan and auger took pudding Burgess found the revolutionaries because sabo and Luffy made him need to hide And now he will have two ancient weapons because the straw hats found them and caribou knows It’s actually crazy how intertwined their two powerhouses are

Did Marco and Shanks discuss Blackbeard on their trip to Spinx after wano? Maybe Shanks now knows why he could have 2 fruits and might now tell Luffy?

7:02 basically pokemon with ash and gary rivalry.

We need more of Marshall D. Teach in the manga.

Teach is built different
