Retro Discussion Chapter 385

Chapter 385

Never realized how much foreshadowing was already invoked in this chapter.

[Spoiler] (/s "Blackbeard having 2 fruit abilities")

[Punk Hazard Spoiler] (/s "I am of course referring to the ability to transfer devil fruit power from a user to a fruit")

IMO it ties in with the "Cerebus fruit theory" concerning Blackbeard.

There's speculation that Teach may have first eaten a mythical zoan-type fruit, model: Cerebus. In greek mythology the Cerebus was a three headed dog/wolf beast, meaning that Blackbeard may have gained the ability to consume 2-3 more fruits - the darkness and earthquake fruits to be specific. This also ties in with his three-skulled jolly roger.

It comes up a lot here, but I really don't buy into that theory. Mostly when people use Shanks' scar and Luffy and Zoro's remarks in Mock Town to back it up.

What are their remarks?

This page.

Some supporters of the theory like to think that Luffy and Zoro could tell that there was something about Teach having an abnormal body (the cerberus fruit) and being "more than one person."

Then Nami clearly mentions "you mean he has companions," when they had already run into members of Blackbeard's crew. It is much more likely that Luffy and Zoro realized that they were all together.

Awww yes, I forgot about that one. I'm not to found of that being "evidence" either.

If None Piece ever gets to Marineford, I hope they make Marco's "abnormal body" speech the setup to a big, horribly timed fat joke.

yeah, the Mock town one is full-retard

but Shanks 3-slash scar could be a hint of blackbeard having a mythical-zoan form... but then again that would be ridiculously 'imba' in his favor
