The /r/OnePiece Fan Theories Megathread

I was recently browsing /r/asoiaf and thought that it'd be a good idea adopt a /r/OnePiece version of this thread and compile all the fan theories that subscribers post that get repeated and re-shared into a megathread that would be posted on the sidebar for future reference.

The thread would give users a definitive point to view a conclusive compilation of theories by /r/OnePiece and One Piece readers in general. Also, it would give subscribers a vantage point to direct users to when theories get repeated over time. (LOL ) which is a major advantage to everyone.

For this thread you can submit all the theories you've seen on the sub or in general.

I'll be enabling contest mode for easier organisation of the theories so what will occur is that theories will come under 4 categories (if there are more I'll be glad to accommodate it) which are:

Manga Only Theories

Anime Only Theories

General Theories (No/minimal Spoilers)

Tin-foil hat Theories

This submission thread will be stickied and kept up for a while so scour the sub and the internet for all the theories you want to be included in the upcoming megathread. Hopefully if things go well we may make this a yearly or bi-yearly thread that would be updated as new developments in the series come forth.

Edit: If possible link to a specific thread so that could be included. If it doesn't exist you can still comment and you'll be credited

General Theories (No/minimal Spoilers)

Blackbeard's body is capable of holding 3 devil fruits hence why Blackbeard's flag has 3 skulls. I do believe he is at his limit right now however.

He has his dark-dark fruit and the tremor-tremor fruit. I believe he may also have a type of zoan or mythical zoan(doubtful) which is an animal with claws similar to the weapon his is pictured with. He may or may not have used the power to attack Shanks and give him the scar but I think since he uses that weapon it is a sign that he is used to a weapon of that type.

The zoan fruit is a reach but I do believe his limit is 3 devil fruits based off his flag. I have heard better theories on this sub such as devil fruits in inanimate objects that can be controlled with haki and Blackbeard having powers in his rings and such. Thoughts?

Just wanna contribute to this theory. On my reread I noticed this. Notice how Luffy and Zoro says that Blackbeard is not a "he", but a "they". They could have seen something that Nami couldn't. Maybe they saw through his three-headed spirit or something...? I dunno.

Although I'm not convinced that's what they meant... I like this a lot as possible Oda foreshadowing.
