One Piece: Who Was the First Owner of the Yami Yami no Mi?

There are so many terrible and powerful figures in the world of One Piece. They are the navy, the ruler of the ocean, and of course also the pirates. Some of these characters have the power of the devil fruit they get. Devil Fruits give them a formidable power.

The main thing is that the power of the devil fruit is able to make the user paralyze the enemy easily. When it comes to dangerous and terrifying figures, there is an interesting fact that probably all geeks already know. When a person or a One Piece character only has one devil fruit ability, it is different with the antagonist Marshall D. Teach or Blackbeard who is able to get two devil fruits.

Blackbeard himself was once an alone child who later joined the Whitebeard pirates when he was young. Teach wants to travel the world and look for one of the devil fruits he wants, the Yami Yami no Mi. Teach himself finally found the devil fruit in the hands of Thatch, one of the division commanders of the Whitebeard pirate group.(

Talking about Blackbeard, there are many theories that say that Blackbeard is the son of the legendary pirate, Rocks D. Xebec.

While there are also theories that say that Blackbeard might just be a figure who really admires the figure of Rocks, like Luffy who really idolizes Shanks, or Yamato who really idolizes Oden's figure.

And from some of the available evidence it seems that may indeed be true.

We can see the name of the ship from Blackbeard, namely the Saber of Xebec.

The ship's name may have been adapted from Rocks' last name. Pirate Rocks used to be based on Beehive Island, an island that is considered a pirate paradise located in the New World.

Now, the island is the headquarters of the Blackbeard pirate group.
Rocks Previous Yami Yami Owner?

Many assume, that Blackebard is the opposite of Luffy.

With all that has to do with the parallels between Rocks and Blackbeard, there has been speculation among fans that it was possible before it fell into Thatch's hands, the Yami Yami no Mi devil fruit was Rocks' devil fruit.

And Blackbeard probably had known that for a long time, that's why he was after the devil fruit.

He was even willing to wait for decades and even had the heart to kill his own comrades.

Maybe that's the reason why Blackbeard said that Yami Yami's devil fruit seemed to be "summoning him" to get him immediately.

If Luffy is the successor of Roger's will, then Blackbeard is the successor of Rocks' will. Perhaps for this reason also Rocks was able to control his powerful men, all because of the Yami Yami no Mi.

There are many figures who want to rule the world, just like in the past Rocks who wanted to rule the whole world.

The difference is, if most people want to rule the world for their own satisfaction, but not the case with Rocks.

He purposely used the Yami Yami devil fruit to bring darkness to this world.

And it seems that the reason Blackbeard took Whitebeard's devil fruit wasn't just because of his great strength.

However, it also makes Blackbeard closer to the dream of the Rocks, which is to rule the world.

Speculation that the figure of Rocks D. Xebec was the previous owner of the devil fruit Yami Yami is indeed reasonable, considering that besides being able to "control" various strong characters, he is also a figure who is feared in the ocean.

With his devil fruit capable of absorbing the power of other devil fruits and also having other terrible things, it's only natural that then many people feel scared when they hear the figure of Rocks.

With the One Piece series about to enter the Final Saga, hopefully we will get more information about the Rocks pirate.
