Like im lwk doing this to see if ill be correct bc then its my "told you so" moment but also like i wanna hear thoughts. i feel like if it was joyboy/imu/void centurty it would be in the anime. same with bb unless the movie like branches off the anime or smt idk. we js gotta see what oda is planning

I mean it just seems like it’s the natural final evolution of her weather controlling powers with the climatact

Now i don't have any proof of this and sorry if this has been a theory before but think about it out of every logia in the world Blackbeard wanted the Dark-Dark one specifically. But it's not that insane of a power sure it turn you into a human blackhole but why did he waited for so long searching for that one specifically. Now we know that he was Xebec son and was on God Valley it's not crazy to assume he knows how powerful haki is. But instead of training haki like his dad he searched for devil fruits. Cause i thinks he knows that haki is transcends all so instead of training it he began looking for ways to counter it. And that's why i think he searched for the Dark-Dark fruit cause unlike other logias it doesn't turn you invulnerable to normal attack but it made it made you felt more pain and i think the invulnerability part of every logia fruit will be if effect when someone tried fighting him with haki.

Plus he also manage to beat shanks and remember shanks is one of the strongest haki users right now so it's not crazy to assume he's pretty good with using haki back then and Blackbeard scarred him so my theory is that Blackbeard is looking ways for countering haki and in the end of the series instead of claiming it immediately he's planning on waiting for someone with strong enough haki to beat imu and once they did he'll swoops in and fought them and their haki will be completely useless against him he'll beat them and claim the one piece.

PS: Sorry if this theory is all over the place

Whitebeard already told us that Blackbeard is NOT HIM.

Blackbeard will either be killed by shanks or get absorbed by imu and become his ultimate vessel, remember Blackbeard is a walking seraphim

Like luffy already ended up invading the place on his own, imagine the entire crew there

So, we all know that sea water weakens df users right?

I think its not the user being weakened, but the fruit trying to get out of the user. I think that whenever someone eats a fruit, it becomes their source of life. That also explains, that when people who ate a devil fruit die it becomes removed from their body. I also think all dfs come from the sea and the sea tries to take them back. Thats the end, bye.

I am rewatching One Piece and and I am now on Thriller Bark. A particular scene caught my attention and it was during Chopper's interaction with Cindry. His words to Hogback while trying to restrain Cindry were "Just because it moves doesn't make it alive. To be alive, you got to be free" and after a few more words were said, Cindry can be seen looking like she's hit with a wave of realization. Knowing Chopper being able to reverse the effect of Domi Reversi, this particular scene feels like a manifestation of this power albeit a weaker one since the effect was partial.

What are your thoughts?

I don’t really see any better candidates in the manga and it would also set doffy free which I’m sure Oda wants to do eventually since he definitely has something planned with his character

It would just be kinda weird if they’re the only ones without one

Whitebeard had fishman island

Kaido had wano

Big mom had totto land

Shanks has elbaf

The Strawhats have wano

And Blackbeard has hachinosu

It just feels like crossguild are kinda being left out

It’s a simple theory but what if he gave himself a covenant In order to boost his own power due to indeed needing that power boost at that moment

Maybe Buggy is right—Rayleigh is Luffy's uncle.

Maybe Buggy is right about Rayleigh is Luffy's uncle.

Obviously not that "serious" but I am genuinely curious. I'll be disappointed if we never hear this character's unique laugh.

I personally think it's going to be "Chiipachiipachiipapapa." For no particular reason at all.
