Since the beginning of the OniShima War, Oda Sensei has continuously strengthened the strength of the Straw Hat Regiment, especially the protagonist Luffy. Luffy added the "Fruit Awakening" setting after winning the "Overlord Color Winding", which is the first time that such a continuous epic enhancement has been seen. Luffy in the fruit awakening state already has the strength comparable to the four emperor Kaido, and can even suppress Kaido, to know that Kaido is known as the "strongest creature", can be said to be one of the strongest pirates in the world today.
Kaido, who can be used as a ceiling, is still suppressed by Luffy who awakens the fruit, and it seems that Luffy has been able to fear no enemies. So the question is, Blackbeard as the final boss, how can Oda strengthen him to fight against the current Luffy? Is he really capable of defeating Luffy by relying on the double fruit alone?
The author believes that Oda deliberately made Blackbeard a "fanatical pirate" with an endless obsession with "demon fruit", and according to Blackbeard's personality, it is estimated that the subsequent strengthening direction should also be around the "demon fruit". Let's analyze it with me.
Dark fruit invalidates rubber fruit
Whether Blackbeard can defeat the current Luffy mainly depends on whether the dark fruit can make the rubber fruit completely invalid, if the ability of the dark fruit is able to completely contain the rubber fruit, then Luffy's second gear, third gear, fourth gear and even the fifth gear of the fruit awakening, the strengthening effect provided by the dark fruit will be greatly reduced, or even completely invalid.
The reason why Luffy was able to suppress Kaido was mainly because of the "assimilation ability" under the awakening of the fruit, which not only assimilated the environment, but also assimilated any external attack, and even if hit, it would not be substantially harmed. The dark fruit of Blackbeard just restrained Luffy's "assimilation ability" after awakening, but it is worth noting that at this stage, Luffy has a strong combat power even if he does not use fruit ability, and "flowing cherry" and "hegemony" are not just talk.
At present, Blackbeard's life card confirms that he does not have the overlord color domineering, which means that without the blessing of "hegemony", the fruit ability at this stage alone may not be able to defeat Luffy, but if Oda Sensei makes the dark fruit improve to a stronger state, for example, without close proximity, he can limit Luffy's fruit ability, then there is still a battle.
Let it have a third fruit
The second conjecture, which has always been talked about, is that Blackbeard will receive the "third demon fruit." Now that Blackbeard already has both the Natural Dark Fruit and the Superhuman Shock Fruit, the remaining animal strains will naturally not be too far away. Judging by the way Blackbeard picked the fruit, he was bound to pick the one he thought was the strongest in his heart. At present, the esper species fruit in the animal line branch is the most powerful and comprehensive, so Oda may simply and rudely give Blackbeard a third fruit.
Blackbeard, who has two fruits, has imperial strength, so after winning three fruits, he is simply a person who has never been in the past, becoming the only person in the world who can compete with the future Luffy. As for what exactly will be the third fruit? At present, it is not known, but it can only be said that the esper species fruits of Kaido, Black Carbon Great Snake and others are suitable for Blackbeard, and I don't know if Oda can use this strengthening method to enhance Blackbeard's combat strength.
The two fruits are all awakened
The last one is Blackbeard's Double Fruit Awakening, so that even if he does not get the third fruit, he can have Luffy in a state comparable to the fruit awakening state. Blackbeard's dark fruit, like the rubber fruit, is a fruit of extraordinary significance, and the dark fruit can be said to be the nemesis of all fruits. Every fruit has a fruit awakening, and once the dark fruit awakens, it may be able to exert even more amazing effects.
At the same time, with the shock fruit after the awakening, the joint awakening of the two fruits will definitely give Blackbeard enough combat strength to improve, and now Luffy's single fruit awakening can be improved so obviously, then the double fruit of Blackbeard must be only high or low. This reinforcement is also the most impactful, perhaps Oda Sensei will give Blackbeard the third fruit, while allowing it to fully awaken, then Blackbeard is indeed qualified to be the "final boss" of the entire work.
