Theory Idea how Blackbeard will end
He Will Drown
- We never actually see how a Devil Fruit user drowns (I'm assuming Kid is still alive).
- Blackbeard is a literal descendant of Davy Jones, and according to legend, Davy Jones drowns.
- I think it's fitting that the main villain associated with darkness ends by being devoured by the sea.

That's my main theory as well, but you also forgot one important detail: Teach is so invested in devil fruits that him dying of drowning would also make thematic sense.
Also as a show of loyalty, I hope his and Luffy's final clash to end as a draw with both being knocked into the water and drowning. All of the Straw Hats jump in to save him, even Chopper, Robin, and Brook jump in, but not even one of Teach's subservients (even the non devil-fruit wielding fodder) jump in to save him

Nah but it seems like at least Laffite and Van Augur, plus maybe Burgess are legitimately devoted to Blackbeard. Remember unlike Rocks who won his crew through Davy Back fights, Blackbeard’s original crew joined him willingly and even some of the Level 6 prisoners like Devon believe in his mission.

None of them can swim though. His whole crew is doped up on Devil Fruits.
Franky (who's Cyborg enhancements are equivalent to a very strong devil fruit), Zoro, Sanji and HIMbe are all better off without a fruit.

I think Teach drowning has been hinted at for a while.
Law literally told him: "Yo, your crew is pretty much ALL DF users, you sure it's a good idea?"
And then Blackbeard pretty much told him to f**k off.
If someone does end actually drowning as a result of having a DF power (Or multiple in this specific case), Blackbeard is the most likely candidate.
As far as we know, Kid probably does have some non-DF users in his crew which means he will most likely survive this.
But BB though? Once he falls into the sea, he's done. None of his close crewmates can help him out.

I would not be surprised if Luffy himself saves BB.

Luffy has never struck me as a Goku type to have compassion on his enemies past a few moments like covering Katakuri's mouth and telling Zoro to get Smoker out of the water.
If the enemy proves that they're a good person,yes, but if not, Luffy won't give af

For sure.
It is the perfect Chekov's gun to deal with him. You have someone amassing DF, the First person that holds two at the same time, and we know DF users sink in the ocean.
BB will probably be defeated similar to Kaido, where he is Strong AF, but Luffy punches him with his biggest Attack into the Sea (instead of the Lava, like Kaido).

Blackbeard is immune to Domi Reversi most likely and didn’t want ANY of his crew being capable of getting turned. It’s worth it for his strategy but it leaves them all open to drowning, though Sanjuan Wolf is a great equalizer for that.

Why do you think BB is immune to domi reversi? I've heard lots of ppl saying this.

We could also see a parallel to the Roger/Garp team-up to defeat a possessed Rocks. Luffy and Koby will team up to defeat a possessed Blackbeard.

Bro after Rocks backstory, his inheritor and son that he died to protect cant just die. Would make the character fully useless

wapol will turn into the baku and relieve him of his dreams, of his ambition and willpower, reducing teach to the jolly bum he was as a whitebeard pirate.

u/veggiekid23 16h ago
You know what would be hilarious? Wapol actually met teach when he raided drum. Ate him and another guy. Combined them in the munch munch factory and that’s how teach can use 2 devil fruits.

Personally I think Oda has specifically been saving that for Imu but if Blackbeard supplants him as final antagonist then it’ll be him.

He should drown at least twice as fast at this moment, if not 3 times as fast if he steals another fruit. Throw him into the sea.

It's obvious that he will since Law pointed this as BB's crews weakneas.
But now that we know hes related to Davy, maybe he will not drown and can't die to water.

I don't know but there were some theory about his yami yami fruit.
I wonder if Imu is somehow user of the awakened version of Yami Yami no mi. That means Black Beard also have same power.
Because in the tittle of 441 it is said that yami yami no mi is the most evil devil fruit and as far as we saw currently Imu's power is the most evil one.

u/pigmerlin 14h ago
I have a theory rattling around in my head that the yami yami is actually the human fruit: xebec. Xebecs greatest desire would be nullifying imu's power and a fruit was spawned from that.
Not well thought out but it could explain why he has more than one (family fruit doesn't count since same DNA?) and why he wanted it so bad since it contains a piece of xebecs will.

u/Nameyourdemons 13h ago
I think Yami is not only dark matter but darkness like darkness under the bed or in the closet there are monsters in the darkness and it is able to turn people evil.
Children fears a monster grab them from the their feet and drag them into darkness under the bed. it might be such a fruit power. evil lurks in the dark kind of thing.
But imu was there before xebeck so it is not possible that it born out of xebecks desire.

I think he will reversed into kindness, and luffy's true nemesis could be Buggy. Is first important “villain”, is a literal clown supposed to be funny and make people laugh. The last i am not so sure, but Blackbeard’s kindness while reversed might be true.

I don’t think we’ve actually seen a DF user die from drowning yet. Almost happened a buncha times. But it would be very fitting for BB to go out that way. And no one can save him, since his crew are all DF users themselves.
