One Piece: Blackbeard's Third Devil Fruit Has Already Been Decided By Oda
Blackbeard will unlock a third devil fruit ability. Oda has already decided what that would be in One Piece.
It goes without saying that with all the incredible abilities that Oda has been focusing on, Haki and Devil Fruits will be more important than ever before in One Piece. Interestingly enough, fans have often compared these two powers to one another and wondered which one is superior. It seems that Oda has already set up a major fight that will determine the stronger of the two powers.
Haki And Devil Fruit Are Both Very Powerful
- Haki Is A Spiritual Ability
- Devil Fruits Offer A Vast Number Of Powers
When it comes to Haki and Devil Fruits, fans know that both of them are incredibly strong and unique in different ways. Haki, for example, is a spiritual power that grants various abilities. Divided into three classes, Observation Haki allows the power to sense enemies along with much more, Armament Haki allows the user to use their spirit as armor for both offense and defense and of course, Conqueror's Haki, present only within a few, is the power to overwhelm the enemy.
To never doubt, that is true strength! — Silvers Rayleigh
The stronger the spirit, the greater the Haki, and the stronger the physical strength, the stronger the potency of the Haki becomes. Undoubtedly, Haki is a very amazing power to have, and needless to say, necessary power to survive in the New World of the One Piece world.
As far as Devil Fruits go, they're much more diverse. Devil Fruits can grant one any power that one can think of. Anything man can imagine can be made real with Devil Fruits since they're a product of human imagination. Fans know very well that Devil Fruits can be divided into three classes as well. The Paramecia class allows the user to transform into various substances and produce them, along with granting many miscellaneous abilities, while the Logia class allows the user to become an element or a force of nature. Finally, the Zoan class allows transformation into any animal, with its subclasses allowing transformation into Ancient or Mythical Zoan.

In many ways, Devil Fruits can do what Haki can't, and in some ways, Haki has a clear advantage. If there is one fight in One Piece that will settle the Devil Fruit vs Haki debate forever, it is the fight between Shanks and Blackbeard.
It's not the time for us to fight yet. — Blackbeard to Shanks
One Piece: The Identity of Marijoa's Attacker Has Already Been Revealed By Oda
Marijoa is under attack. The culprit has already been revealed by Oda in One Piece.
Oda has already established in his story that this battle will inevitably happen. While these two are fierce rivals, at the same time, they also represent two of the most important power systems in One Piece. Shanks is a pure Haki user and, needless to say, the best Haki user in One Piece. Blackbeard, on the other hand, is a monster who has two of the strongest Devil Fruits, and might get even more of them. Whoever wins this battle in One Piece will likely make a solid case for their power system to be the best in the story.
Who Will Win Blackbeard Vs Shanks?
At this point, it is hard to say who will win, but if Blackbeard is to be considered as the main villain for Luffy to take down later down the line, then it is highly likely that he will come out as the victor. Fans will simply have to wait and see what ends up happening as One Piece continues.
