I'm not talking about BB actually being able to use the fruit though (as that is a different kettle of fish) but more of how he would have gotten it in some form from WB's body (i don't think BB carved him and such). Or maybe BB's body as the same characteristics of transferring so it just went to him.
And does Marco really care about such details though since the crew didn't seem to revere the DF's as much (they might take it if they see it but are not as obsessive imo). BB seems the opposite since he was crazy detailed in knowing exactly where the fruit he wanted was and went as far as to kill someone to get it.
Note: This is all thought based on if the transfer thing is what really happened there.
Actually, what you just said about Blackbeard's body having the characteristics that allow for DF's abilities to be transferred to him gave me an idea for a new theory of how he has more than one ability.
What if it's not his actual body, but rather his original Devil Fruit itself that allows him to have more than one ability. Blackbeard's Yami Yami no Mi controls darkness and also allows him to "absorb" things into black holes he creates. Since he can also negate DF users abilities just by touching them, maybe it's possible that he's able to "absorb" the ability out of a dead user completely as well, since the ability would be about to transfer out of the body anyways. Keep in mind when he did his little secret thing to Whitebeard under the cover (That sounds so dirty, I know), it was pretty much right after he died, so maybe it was just soon enough to where he was able to use his Darkness/Gravity ability to literally suck the essence of the fruits ability right out of him.
By doing this, he can get around the hole loop hole of not being able to eat more than one DF, since he's technically not eating it but rather absorbing the ability. Futhermore, the stolen ability wouldn't be "within"/part of his body like the Yami Yami no Mi, but rather contained in some temporal place that he can hold it until he wants to expel it (Just like when he used his ability to pull the town into a black hole, and then he released everything from the hole when he was ready to do it). This would also explain why he was so determined to get this
EXACT fruit, as he might have figured out that he would be able to steal others abilities with it. It also explains why he's doing a Devil Fruit user hunt right now, since it's possible that he could use more than just the two abilities he has now.
If this is actually what Blackbeard is doing, this would make him easily the most powerful person in the One Piece world. He could theoretically use as many abilities as he could get his hands on. I know it's kind of a stretch, but I think this could actually be possible. What do you guys think?
