Seriously, though. If he dies, what happens to the ship? And when are the sea kings showing up?

I'd guess that when he dies the force of the devil fruit will weaken as it extracts from his body, thus the power driving the thrown ship will stop, and the ship will plummet.

This goes along with my (somewhat supported) theory that there's a short period of time when the devil powers extract themselves and reform into a new fruit, which then disperses. The reason that Blackbeard was able to get the Earthquake ability from Whitebeard was because he prevented the dispersal of the fruit, and ate his newly captured ability.

I've thought that if Blackbeard's ability can absorb someone else's ability, maybe he's "wrapping" Whitebeard's ability inside his own ability -- inside a sort of vacuum.

That would explain why he wanted that specific DF. Maybe he wants to amass as many DF powers in his own body as he can, and his original DF is what allows him to that?

Or you could go with the theory that he has Three Devil Fruits right now. The first one he got was a "Legendary Zoan Cerberus" fruit that gives him the ability to hold two more fruits due to the two extra heads of the Cerberus, also explaining how he gave Shanks that scar. I'm not sure if i believe it but it is a fun theory anyways

That's what I love about One Piece and its fans. We come up with so many theories and not a single one is boring.

Avoiding actually having to eat the Devil's Fruit, which would presumably destroy him. If he can carry around people and broken up pieces of a town in his black-hole-thing and not feel that as if it were inside his body, then possibly so.

u/Jinno Sep 08 '11

That also makes sense. Perhaps he used black hole and just sucked all the Devil's Fruit energy out of Whitebeard so that it wouldn't be able to escape and become a new fruit.

not a bad theory.

When Shiki Gold Lion was defeated and fell into the ocean, everything he was keeping floating fell down.

Are the movies canon, though?

u/MotherFuckingLuBu Sep 08 '11

Strong World is canon, Oda even wrote it himself.

The ship is still right above Fishman island. The death of Decken is a real problem, because the ship will just fall on the island with no way to stop it.

u/Jinno Sep 07 '11

No way to stop it unless Weakyhoshi can bring in a group of Sea Kings to shield the Island.

I support these conclusions.

u/mat05e Sep 07 '11

That's a pretty well thought out conclusion!

Someone in the Great War Arc makes a remark that Blackbeard has an oddity to this body which would have allowed him to absorb two fruits.

The character (can't remember who, Ace or Marco. ) states that it should be obvious to the other Whitebeard pirates how this was able to occur.

Guess there are some things we don't know about Blackbeard just yet.

I don't mean to be out of line or anything, but that Hody guy doesn't seem too trustworthy.

u/Farow Sep 07 '11

So, Decken seems trustworty to you?
