User blog comment:Jakyou/Theory of how BB gained the Gura Gura/@comment-4080028-20150817000505

Huh, I always had a feeling that Blackbeard's ability to nullify DF powers mixed with being a black hole had something to do with how he gained the Gura Gura no Mi, but I never stopped to consider he simply had a similar fruit to what the Gura Gura no Mi once was before Whitebeard ate it. o_o

Awesome theory there, bro. It'd make a lot of sense to me. I simply assumed he had sucked the powers out of Newgate's body as they were leaving him with one of Blackbeard's darkness and gravity themed abilities (like the Black Vortex.) It'd be a huge twist and surprise if it wasn't a direct power absorption, but simply Blackbeard being two steps ahead of everyone else as usual.

Also, you forgot to mention you're AKA "the guy who made Aeris-swama." <3 <3 (Couldn't resist. lol)
