Blackbeards Multi-Fruit Mechanism Is His Abnormal Davy Bloodline Not A Cerberus Zoan

The claim

Reasoning

The gauntlet on “Blackbeard Is Cerberus” confirmed the abnormal-body core (SC1) and the hereditary lineage payload (SC2) but refuted the Cerberus-Zoan mechanism (SC4) with a standing kill-shot. The abnormality is flagged at top-of-canon three times — the Marines’ “his body is odd” (Ch. 577), the Five Elders’ “no historical precedent” (Ch. 594), and Van Augur escalating it to “as is his bloodline” (Ch. 1107). Meanwhile every Cerberus signal points away from Teach: the only on-page Cerberus is Figarland Shamrock’s living sword (Ch. 1138), and the crew’s Inu Inu no Mi belongs to Catarina Devon as a nine-tailed fox (Ch. 925). The vault’s leading-theories catalog does not entertain a Cerberus Zoan at all. This prediction bets that the eventual reveal validates the surviving hereditary-physiology reading and leaves the Cerberus label dead.

Resolution

Once new info arrives, update status, resolved_date, resolved_chapter and write a one-paragraph postmortem here describing what happened and what reasoning was right or wrong.

Supporting evidence

• Ch. 577 — “That’s true for normal humans… but Teech isn’t normal! His body is… odd.” — mechanism flagged as a physiological abnormality specific to Teach.
• Ch. 594 — Five Elders: “no historical precedent for a man who’s eaten two devil fruits.”
• Ch. 1107 — Van Augur: “Teech is special. As is his bloodline.” — the anomaly reframed as hereditary.
• Ch. 1138 — the only canonical Cerberus is Shamrock’s living sword, not a Blackbeard fruit.
• Ch. 925 — the crew’s Inu Inu no Mi is Catarina Devon’s Nine-Tailed Fox model.
• Ch. 441 — Teach debuts a Logia whose darkness cancels “Logia, Zoan, Paramythia” users as external targets — he is not himself a Zoan.

What would refute this

• A panel or SBS naming Blackbeard’s power an Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Cerberus (or any Cerberus/multi-headed-dog Zoan) attached to Teach himself.
• Blackbeard transforming into a three-headed, canine, or multi-headed Zoan form on-page.
• The mechanism revealed as an external device / Vegapunk artifact / Imu artifact, or a Yami Yami no Mi property any user could replicate — i.e. NOT his own abnormal hereditary body.
• A statement that his body literally holds three souls / three hearts / three consciousnesses as the fruit-hosting mechanism (this would harden a rival reading, not this one).
