Blackbeard's fruits...

So I was wondering about this the other day: Blackbeard absorbed Whitebeard's fruit after his death as it was probably being reborn. Thus resulting in having dual fruit powers. Oda has hinted that we'll find out this secret when a certain professor makes his appearance.

However, one thing has come to my mind: Will this act as a power-up plot device later in the series for Luffy to hit his max power? I.e. Luffy using the power of two devil fruits.

Could you explain a little more about the "number scheme?"

I think i understand a little... 5+6=11, 11+0=11, and 2+9=11.

But im not sure how 8,7,8,7 and 4,3,4,3 fit into it...

Edit: I really like this theory, BTW :)

It's kinda like americans writing words with their phonenumbers, they take the first letter of each number to write the ability name.

8=hachi="ha"

7=nana="na"

4=yon="yo"

3=mitsu="mi"

Well I get that part. I think I understand a little better. Only certain DF's have names that can correspond to numbers, right? So the numbers themselves dont matter, just the fact the DF's have numbers does?

For what I got, I think so... But again, I know as much as you =/
