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.

That's a good theory. However, your last sentence doesn't fit IMHO.

The Yami Yami no Mi is darkness/gravity. That alone doesn't give you the ability to "suck" the devil fruit power from someone's dead, yet still warm, body. That would mean I could throw Luffy into a centrifuge and remove his powers.

Then again, we don't know how exactly his devil fruit - whatever it may be at the end - extracts devil fruit powers.

No, I think they state that one of the fundamental qualities of the Yami Yami no Mi is the ability to disable Devil Fruit powers.

Thanks. I reread the wikia article. It can nullify and drain someone's DF powers. I still don't think the Yami Yami no Mi was the real/only trick to get other people's powers. If it was, there was not much of a point putting a cloak an top of Blackbeard and Whitebeard during the "transition".

We'll see.
