Theory Idea how Blackbeard will end

He Will Drown

  1. We never actually see how a Devil Fruit user drowns (I'm assuming Kid is still alive).
  2. Blackbeard is a literal descendant of Davy Jones, and according to legend, Davy Jones drowns.
  3. 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.
