by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Summary

  • Blackbeard will likely get a powerful Mythical Zoan fruit as his third Devil Fruit.
  • His connections to the number 3 suggest he will eventually obtain a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.
  • Blackbeard is not at his peak yet and needs to further build his crew before reaching his full strength.

In the grand finale of “One Piece”, Blackbeard emerges as a significant adversary, whose influence is expected to be substantial later in the storyline. At present, Blackbeard is fixated on acquiring the One Piece, a fact known to fans. However, his aspirations extend far beyond that singular goal.

Blackbeard aspires to rule the entire world, a dream shared by Rocks D. Xebec. With Blackbeard growing more powerful on the seas, it’s not surprising that he’ll become the center of attention. A significant aspect of his story that fans are eagerly anticipating is the revelation of his third Devil Fruit power. Oda has given us hints about what this ability might be.

Why Blackbeard Will Get A Third Devil Fruit

  • Blackbeard Follows The Rule Of Three
  • Teach Is Not At Full Strength Yet

In the realm of One Piece, Blackbeard stands out as an exceptional figure, despite originating from humble beginnings. Fans are well aware that his aspirations stretch far beyond the ordinary; he aims to be the Ruler of the World. To achieve this lofty goal, he must surpass all who have gone before him. At present, Blackbeard hasn’t yet reached such a level. In fact, it is clear to fans that Blackbeard is not yet at the pinnacle of his potential abilities.

Currently, it’s evident that the Blackbeard Pirates are still expanding their crew, as Blackbeard visited Amazon Lily following the dismantling of the Shichibukai system in search of a Devil Fruit. Since the crew was already established, Teach felt the need to acquire more power, indicating that he’s not yet at his full potential and aims to grow even stronger.

Beyond just associating with the number three, Blackbeard strongly embodies this figure. His vessels boast three logs, his Jolly Roger displays 3 skulls, his beard sports three braids, he carries three pistols, and these instances of threes are numerous. Interestingly enough, in the world of One Piece, there are three types of Devil Fruits: Logia, Paramecia, and Zoan. Blackbeard currently holds one from each category – the Yami Yami no Mi (Logia) and the Gura Gura no Mi (Paramecia). The only type he lacks is the Zoan, which Blackbeard will likely acquire in the future as per One Piece’s storyline.

Oda Has Already Hinted At Blackbeard’s Third Devil Fruit

Blackbeard Will Eat A Powerful Mythical Zoan Fruit

Without a shadow of a doubt, fans believe that Blackbeard’s narrative will involve him consuming a Zoan-type Devil Fruit in the storyline. Given his existing strength, it is expected that he aims to achieve even greater heights by acquiring another Devil Fruit.

Regarding the Devil Fruit he might consume, it’s plausible that it could be a Kraken-type Zoan, making his fruit rare and unique. This power would grant him multiple hearts and an uncommon ability. Alternatively, Caesar could also obtain a fruit similar to the Nika, but with a darker twist, being a God Fruit instead. Without a doubt, Oda will provide more details on this soon.

Will Blackbeard Be The Strongest In One Piece?

Currently, it wouldn’t be accurate to claim that Blackbeard is the most powerful pirate. Nevertheless, it’s evident that his Devil Fruit abilities will propel him to a significant level, making him a strong contender for the title of the world’s strongest pirate. The era of Blackbeard has only just started, and there’s undoubtedly more power yet to be revealed.
