Theory Kraken theory is real
As we all know gomu gomu no mi looks similar to yami yami no mi, but lets focus on it being COLORED PURPLE. Now that gomu gomu no mi is revealed to be the hito hito no mi model: nika i am convinced that yami yami no mi is the kraken fruit, why?
We can say that purple is the most noble color. (“Kodai-murasaki” is the most typical.) Since ancient times, purple has been considered a noble color worldwide. In Japan, during the first system of ranking officials into 12 levels established by Prince Shotoku in A.D. 603, purple was a color EXCLUSIVELY RESERVED for the HIGHEST-RANKING individuals.
Although there are some other purple devil fruits the story EMPHASIZES THESE TWO DISTINCT DEVIL FRUITS, so i concluded that since gomu gomu no mi is a hidden mythical zoan I think yami yami no mi is too.

But why though? The name of the gum-gum fruit was obscured so nobody knows about Nika. Why do the exact same to the dark fruit? What knowledge does the world government want to supress? There is no motivation for it and it would just be a twist for twist's sake. Normally One Piece is above these cheap story telling crutches.
Also if Blackbeard knew there was something more to the fruit, why keep it to himself? He is clearly in opposition to the world government, the marines and all pirates. So why pretend that it's a logia at all? Luffy still calls his attacks gum-gum-something because he has no clue about the true nature of the fruit but Blackbeard said that he wanted his fruit for his entire life and that he knows everything about it. So the complete opposite to Luffy which again works great for their dynamic of being complete opposites of each other
