One Piece 1045: Not Hito Hito No Mi, Blackbeard Aims for Chopper's Devil Fruit!

Blackbeard's arrival to Drum Island still leaves a mystery until One Piece 1045, for which the answer is not yet known.

During the Drum Island arc, Dalton mentioned the Pirates, who called themselves Blackbeard, invading their country.

However, for what reason, Blackbeard's attack on Drum Island was a mystery until One Piece 1045?

Because every step always has a plan.

At the same time, at that time the soldiers in the kingdom were looking for mushrooms that were said to be able to cure various diseases.

This is interesting, because the only devil fruit on Drum Island is the Hito Hito no Mi, eaten by Chopper, and in the form of red and white mushrooms.

It is believed that Blackbeard's attack on Drum Island was to find the same devil fruit, namely, Chopper's Hito Hito no Mi.

The reason is, Chopper's devil fruit itself does not make him a whole human, if you look at other devil fruit eaters like Kaido or Dalton, they are able to change their bodies really like the animals they eat.

But not so with Chopper, he even has several shape changes and out of all of them only one resembles a human.

Also, in chapter 650, when Chopper heard about Blackbeard hunting a zoan-type devil fruit, he was terrified.

However, Usopp who was beside him said that no one wanted Chopper's Hito Hito no Mi devil fruit.

Jokes like that are Oda Sensei's classic style of hinting, like when Luffy said he wasn't the zoan type to Momonosuke.

If it's true that Blackbeard actually had an eye on Chopper's devil fruit, then what power does the blue-nosed wildebeest actually have?

It is believed that in fact Chopper's Hito Hito no Mi is also not a normal zoan type, because it is strange to see him unable to fully transform into a human.

So what exactly is Chopper's devil fruit model?

The answer is probably something that makes him angry if called by that name.

Yes, it's possible that Chopper ate a fruit with the model of the raccon dog myhical zoan, also known as the God of Forest.

Chopper himself was called as Tanuki by residents of the area he lived in during the timeskip.

Furthermore, in one of the Japanese mythology there is a myth about a tanuki who wears a straw hat and brings good luck.

One of the tanuki's famous abilities is to change shape, such as playing naughty tricks by turning into beautiful women to passers-by.

In addition, he can also change certain things, such as turning pebbles into gold, or dirt into food.

He is also able to stretch and enlarge his body to any size.

Another distinctive feature of the tanuki is that he almost always wears a straw hat.

However, this is still speculation.

Could it be true that Blackbeard had targeted Chopper's devil fruit by attacking Drum Island?

Maybe it will be revealed in One Piece 1045 or the next chapters.
