Paramecia Devil Fruit User

**Powers and Abilities:**
 Super strength, speed, durability, agility, endurance, stamina, ate the

and control darkness, and create gravitational attraction/repulsion
forces and pseudo black holes, can nullify the Devil Fruit abilities of
others by touching them, the ability to absorb Devil Fruit abilities
(has only demonstrated the power to take the ability of a dead DF user
and has only shown the capacity to have two fruit abilities at any given
 time), absorbed the Gura Gura no Mi from Whitebeard, a Paramecia-type
Devil Fruit which allows him to generate powerful shock waves by
emitting vibrations (can use air-quakes through cracking the air and
sending shock waves through the air as a result, sea-quakes through
sending quakes to the seabed and using his abilities he can also tilt
whole land masses without breaking a sweat)

**Attack Potency:** **City level+** (Nearly broke Ace's neck with a single punch, also overcame Ace's Entei with his power and defeated him) | **Island level+** via powerscaling

**Range:** Several kilometers

**Speed:** At least **Massively Hypersonic** (kept up with Ace without missing a beat in their battle, and also intercepted G2 Luffy mid-attack with Kurouzu)

**Lifting Strength:** **Class T**

**Striking Strength:** **[Strength|Class TJ+]** (almost broke Ace's neck with a punch) | **Class EJ+**

**Durability:** **City level+**
 (likely higher, as he was no worse for wear after taking several
attacks from Ace in their duel, and at the Marineford Battle he took two
 attacks from a bloodlusted Whitebeard as well as Sengoku's shock wave
with no signs of notable injury afterwards) | **Island level+** via powerscaling, potentially higher

**Stamina:**
 Very large, fought Ace for an extended period of time while sustaining
several attacks yet displayed no signs of strain or fatigue, also
endured Magellan's poison and recovered completely after receiving an
antidote, was still going strong after fighting with Sengoku when the
Marineford Battle concluded

**Standard Equipment:** Guns

**Intelligence:**
 Adept fighter (was considered Whitebeard Commander caliber by virtue of
 his basic combat prowess, before he ate the Yami Yami no Mi) with
decades of battle experience in the grim and feral New World, very
cunning and ruthless, schemed against the Whitebeard pirates, leads his
own pirate crew, quickly learned to access and use the Yami Yami no Mi
efficiently after eating it, was able to utilize the Gura Gura no Mi to a
 significant extent moments after absorbing it

**Weaknesses:**
 Cannot swim and becomes immobilized if more than half of his body is
covered in water, overconfident in his abilities and inclined to
underestimate opponents, Yami Yami no Mi does not give him access to an
elemental state where he can disperse, reform and regenerate, his
gravity powers has the perpetual consequence that things such as his
opponents attacks are attracted to him, which increases the power of the
 attacks and consequently the damage he takes from them

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

**- *Yami Yami no Mi (Darkness Darkness Fruit)*:**
 A Logia type Devil Fruit, this fruit allows the user to control gravity
 (can use this ability to irresistibly pull the opponent to them,
regardless in what state they're in), nullify Devil Fruit abilities by
simply touching an opponent and absorb physical matter, energy as well
as attacks of any type by sucking it into darkness. It can also absorb
the abilities of at least one other Devil Fruit for personal use. It is
not known whether more can be obtained in this manner.

* *Black Hole*:

 Blackbeard creates a curtain of darkness that can spread over a large
area and suck everything into another dimension, crushing it.

* *Liberation*: After using Black Hole, Blackbeard expels all of the matter he sucked in, usually reduced to debris.

* *Kurouzu*:

 Also known as Dark Vortex, Blackbeard creates a gravitational pull to
suck an enemy towards him (usually so he can use his Devil Fruit
canceling abilities on them).

* *Devil Fruit Absorption*:

 Blackbeard has demonstrated the power to take the ability of a dead
Devil Fruit user. However, he has so far only shown the capacity to have
 two fruit abilities at any given time. Requirements for this seem to be
 a dead Devil Fruit user.

**- *Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor-Tremor Fruit)*:**
 A Paramecia type Devil Fruit that turns the user into a Quake Human,
allowing the user to create vibrations (or "quakes"). This fruit's major
 strength is that it allows the user to generate massive vibrations, or
shock waves, which can travel though virtually any medium, including the
 ground, the seafloor, or even in the air. The different techniques
Blackbeard have so far demonstrated with it are listed below (note:
since Blackbeard haven't named any of his moves with the Gura Gura no
Mi, the names used are simply placeholders, to distinguish the
techniques from each other).

* *Kaishin*:

 Blackbeard swings his arm (or arms) and literally cracks the air
itself, sending devastating shock waves through the air in the direction
 it is facing. These shock waves are able to pass through and damage
almost any substance, literally tearing it apart. The shock waves can
also be sent into the sea, generating huge tsunamis, and can be used in
conjunction with physical attacks in close-quarter-combat.

* *Shima Yurashi*:

 Blackbeard grabs the air around him as if it were tangible and pulls
it, causing the area around him to shift. Using this, he was capable of
tilting the entire island of Marineford and the sea around it.

## Others

 Current Blackbeard is still featless, so is unknown how powerful he is
exactly now, only he has powerscaling from Old Whitebeard to know a some
 idea how powerful he is for now until he get more feats.
