One Piece thread (Spoilers)

Chimerism is also a popular theory besides the Cerberus one. It puts one of Marco and Whitebeard's comments on Teach's body into use, in contrast to confinement. I also don't personally believe in Cerberus fruit, because on Fishman Island, a flashback of Whitebeard's crew (in both the anime and manga, if you want a specific source) claiming the island shows Blackbeard with a pair of big metal claws- that's very likely how he scarred Shanks's eye. Confinement or it being an extension of his Darkness powers doesn't cut it for me either. Chimerism doesn't feel entirely right to me either, but I think it's an awfully well put together theory.

And yeah, this chapter actually does raise a really good question. If a Devil Fruit user dies, does their power transfer to the nearest fruit or fruit similar to its original form?
