Predictions Which known abilities the Blackbeard Pirates will steal

[chess4]

Since the Blackbeard Pirates are hunting strong Devil Fruit users, I was thinking of the current characters tjat have been introduced so far, who could have their abilities stolen. This is what I think, I think the Blackbeards will attack the Whitebeards eventually. I think both Marco and Jozu will be killed. Shililew will get the Diamond Fruit and Burgess will get Marco's ability.

I think Van Auger will somehow get his hands on Van Der Dekkens power. I do think Burgess will kill someone on the island and take steal the fruit. Maybe Doflamingo or one of his top guys.

The only other power I see I can see being taken is Ceasar Clowns power.

All tje rest I think will be new powers we have not seen. I do think the Blackbeards are the anti Strawhats in everyway. When they do clash, I think each Blackbeard Pirate's power, we be as such that each Strawhat has to be their best to defeat. For example, for Zooro to be the best, he has to be able to.cut Diamond, since he will.be fighting Shililew, or Usopp fighting Van Auger with the ultimate targeting ability

Well that sounds quite reasonable and would further my hate on them even more.
That said Shilliew with diamond would not be able to properly swing a sword since Diamond can't move so I don't think it would be a good choice. I actually hoped Sabo would kill Burgess here and now but that won't happen. I would rather see him with a Zoan, maybe a lion zoan. Them killing Marco after the Gorosei said Marco is one of the few who could stop BB would be nice storywise but I can't see it happen.

The thing with stealing devil fruits is that when we see a person who's using it for years and has that knowledge and experience. Even if they got DD's ito ito or Marco's phoenix they would never be able to use it as efficiently.

 

[Fox666]

Absalom had a very useful ability and the Blackbeard Pirates killed him for it. So maybe we will see a characters from earlier cheaper having his ability stolen?

Mr. 5

The other Baroque agents who appeared in the cover story would also be targets, but Mr. 5 is a weakling with a potentially very powerful ability.

Foxy

Sorry, but that's another weak characters with an overpowered ability.

Blueno

We have not heard of him again. Not every member of CP9 may have been promoted to CP0.

Shu

Very minor character, but he destroyed one of Zoro's swords.

Blamenco

If he did not meet his fate during the payback war.

Viola

She may already be a target of Im-sama.

Baby 5

Currently she's with the Happo Navy.

Vander Decken

He's in a prison in Fishman Island, but a way may unfold on the island when Caribou spread the word about Pluton.

 

[Kato756]

Do wonder if their death is a requirement

 

[McNuss]

When it comes to the Blackbeard Pirate's Devil Fruit hunt, we can determine the number of potential deaths to some degree. Shiliew, Laffitte, Devon and Wolf already have Devil Fruits, that leaves 5-6 people who still could possibly get a fruit, depending on wether Kuzan is the 10th ship Captain or not.

 

[chess4]

I think it will get some new abilities and some old ones form characters that were once in the story. If you look at pretime skip. Absolom was out of left field, and no one saw that coming.

Add to that BB having at least 2 fruits currently and the non zero possibility of this not being exclusive to him. That said, I don't think it will be that common for old fruits to be recycled by BB. If its an ability hunter crew then recycling fruits is basically a waste of a chance for oda to show new stuff. Maybe we will see a few more abilities get stolen but not more than that. BB's crew will be our best chance to see weird logias or more mythical zoans in action.

 

[afromarco005]

Once BB is strong enough I think that he will hunt the yonko/Commanders DF so
-Big mom fruit
-Katakuri/Smoothie/Crackers
-Kaido fruit
-Jack/Queen/King
-Diamond jozu
-Marco's fruit
-Vista?

 

[nik87]

I think the hunt is limited to the number of the titanic captains, i doubt BB will be handing out DF's to lower tier of his fleet.
We know for sure that Shilliew, Lafitte, Katarina and Sanjuan Wolf have DF's. Pizaro has a cat-themed speech addition so he may have a zoan DF but may not be so, we dont know if Doc Q has a DF or not. We know for sure that Augur and Burgess have none, no info about Vasco.

Kuzan is probably the strongest in BB crew, if he really joined BB. I doubt he is 10th ship captain, i would see him as 1st, if i am not mistaken shirryu is the second ship captain. I think they are ordered in terms of power.

That if he's still alive, we see BB with his glasses. It would not shock me if BB took him out and gave his df to that troublesome woman/man lafitte

He isn't. Burgess is the 1st ship Captain. Most likely, the Blackbeard Pirates apply the same system that the Whitebeard Pirates had. That means, all ship captains are formally equal. Marco's special position was only due to the respect he had in the crew (which in turn comes from his powers and leadership skills). Neither Shiryu nor Laffitte had much respect for Burgess though, however Blackbeard himself might think otherwise considering Burgess is from his initial four crewmembers.

That if he's still alive, we see BB with his glasses. It would not shock me if BB took him out and gave his df to that troublesome woman/man lafitte

Laffitte is clearly a man and he already has a Devil Fruit that allows him to transform his arms into white wings. Most likely a Zoan fruit. Either a Bird Zoan or some people speculate the mythical Zoan fruit Hito Hito no Mi, Type: Angel. Alternatively it could also be a Wing Paramecia that allows him to turn every part of his body into wings.

As for Blackbeard killing Kuzan, that's a tad too farfetched. It's been implied that Kuzan is roughly equal to Sakazuki, and it has also been implied that Akainu is the strongest Admiral, capable of inflicting lethal wounds to even Yonko when in close quarter combat. We also saw Kuzan dispose of "Yonko Commander" Jozu with ease. The Admirals are on a whole other level, no one in Blackbeards Crew safe for Blackbeard himself should be a thread for Kuzan. And if Kuzan and Blackbeard himself faced off, well we saw how Punk Hazard looked like after the battle between Kuzan and Sakazuki, and we also saw Marineford shaking from Whitebeard's quakes. A battle between an Yonko and a former Admiral wouldn't go unnoticed. While the Straw Hats are in the closed off Wano Country, this chapter did specifically discuss what's in the outside world news. It would have been mentioned.

The most endangered characters are clearly Crocodile and Daz Bones.

Crocoboi will serve the story more it seems, I doubt Ivankov mentioned his secret and blackmailed him in Impel Down without story ever going back to that explaining what happened.
Crocodile and Mr.1 are such a cool duo and they seem to be forming a crew of their own, it would be so bad if Blackbeard Pirates would kill them off, at least off screen. I think he will end up once again as Strawhats ally in the grand war against World Government.

He hurt a weak old and sick yonko. Don't look down on the yonko like Shanks or Kaido. Akainu was pissing his pants when Shanks showed up in front of him. After the times skip with 2 op devil fruits you think BB can't take someone like Kuzan? He was the weakest in mineford of all the admirals. Admirals aren't even close in power to prime yonko. You need a reality check if u think admirals= yonko.

 

[Sachsenhesse]

And we are talking about Blackbeard here. Aokini has a deadly fruit but is quite lazy. I think its safe to say, that most of his power comes from his fruit. And what does the yami yami no mi? Take away those powers.

 

[chess4]

Van Augur will get Vander Deckin's Mato Mato fruit
Doc Q will get some type of Shinigami fruit or either Moria's fruit

everyone else I am unsure. Think about since the beginning of the series, what enemy's have had incredible powers that are no longer part of the real story

 

[kkck]

Decken's fruit seems weird for a sniper. Why would a sniper need a fruit which is only useful against things you have touched? When he can already almost certainly target things from a distance without ever being close to them? Which is not to say the fruit is useless, it is powerful, but it is not something that would specifically synergize with auger's skillset. If anything the fact that he has to get so close to a target that he can touch it is against his basic skillset.

Something ideal for auger would be something that would benefit from his near perfect aim though I am not sure if there is a fruit that fits that description. I guess an eagle fruit would be ideal for him. Flight and improved eyesight would make him borderline OP. The sound fruit would be useful... He'd be able to fire without making a sound. Though I am not sure if sound is an issue for him. Bart's fruit would be useful as it would provide more cover for him. Maybe the lightning fruit would have the sheer range for auger to use his sniping with...

 

[Grandmaster Woro]

imagine blackbeard with the durability of kaidou's dragon power

 

[hokageji]

imagine blackbeard with the durability of kaidou's dragon power

Interesting for sure, but I dont know if Kaido's durability has to dow with his dragon power to begin with.

Nevertheless, Dragon could be an extremely useful mythical zoan. Maybe BB will use Moria to get to Wano and eventually wait in hiding to get the ability as well, if Dragon is his DF ability.

 

[Grandmaster Woro]

seriously, sabo was just beating the blackbeard first ship commander with barely any injuries on himself.

blackbeard,shiryuu might have some hype but the others are just fodders to be honest. Especially if shp really will beat beast pirates at end of this arc.

 

[TitaniumOxide]

Yeah Burgess was disappointing. Wtf he should have out uo a bigger challenge vs Sabo. He should have been able to kick bartolomeo's and Diamante's ass but instead got his own ass handed to him.

But I digress. I hope they aren't like Burgess. I am pretty sure Shiryuu would be hella trouble. I mean any of the level 6 prisoners would be. They were in Impel Down level 6 for a reason. So that is actuslly some good hype right there. I mean Crocky seems weak compared to Ace and Jimbe in that floor but still Jimbe is strong af and to be housed on the same floor as him or Ace means you have to have some pretty crazy notoriery about you. So at least the lvl 6 prisoners should be pretty powerful. I mean San Juan Wolf doesn't even need to know how to swim to cross the sea with no boats. Is he even afraid of Seakings?

Thing is, I am super interested in Lafitte or whatever his name is. The dude with the cane. Last night I reread the impel down arc into the war of the greatest arc and I noticed 2 things. 1. They sensored Hancock's super cleavage in the digital colored versions and 2. Lafitte had wings. They did not look skypean but I will just throw that out there that he might be from Skypea since Blackbeard really believes the sky islands are there (if he hasn't gone himself yet). He flew to the Shichibukai meeting by himself lol...and nominated Blackbeard. Seems like a very smart, calculated, and tough individual to me. Not to mention he took a gura gura no mi quake hit from Whitebeard himself and a Daibatsu Buddha Palm shockwave from Sengoku. He ended up being okay and facilitated in killing Whitebeard. That event by itself is hyoe for the Blackbeard Pirates' endurance. Any normal person even up to Smoker's calibur would have been OHKOed by either Whtebeard or Sengoku. I mean come on, Whitebeard's attack on shanks opened up the sky thanks to their enormous power and Haki. The Blackbeard pirates shrugging off those hits mean they got A) endurance and of course, B) plotpoint endurance lol. If Kaidou can OHKO luffy in G4 then I can say Whitebeard probably did not hold back against his enemies but some of his enemies are just that durable. More back to my main point, I wonder what Lafittevs fruit is. Either way not knowing much about their abilities, including Lafitte's is hype too. What people do not know or understand can make most of them fearful.
